I wanna love this place, I just don't. My husband enjoys it more than I do, so maybe it's just a personal preference. Anytime... I've gotten a very novelty sandwich like "Fat Hot Chick" I have thought it was gross. Disgusting. Couldn't swallow one bite ofit. And that's saying a lot for a fat kid like me. I have enjoyed their burgers and even their Philly cheesesteak sandwich.Stick to the classics is my best advice for here. But last trip just made me ugh. I stopped for a milkshake after a surgery asan "I survived " treat. I got one of the novelty shakes with Oreos and Carmel. I believe it was shake #4 . It was $11.99 I wasvery excited for my large, delicious shake. First, it took approximately 10-15 minutes to get this shake. It was not busy, so Iwas a bit saddened by this. But I thought, man, it must really be good for it to take this much prep! When it arrived, oh man,the disappointment. It was SO SMALL! Like truly reminded me of a happy meal drink size. How in the world can a 12 dollar shakebe so small?! I looked over the menu and nowhere are the ounces listed. Sigh. I guess that's my fault? And the absoluteheartbreaker was that it was 99% Vanilla ice cream. It had a few Oreos sprinkled on top. And one swirl of Carmel. Oh god. Foodshould not be this traumatic, but I was already having a bad day and this...man. I think I'm done coming here, but will likelybe back if I'm dragged. The vibe is kinda cool. I love the music. Awesome hip-hop: Kendrick Lamar and Jay-Z were playing. Butthe bright bright lights don't really mesh with the cool vibe. Just seems a bit disjointed. Staff is cool. Friendly. Not inyour face about it, which I prefer. I guess give this place a try, but get ready for hit or miss food at a large cost for thevalue. Read more

Fat Sals is absolutely amazing! Today i hd the Fat Hot Chick, probably my favorite sandwich here, yum! I?m so glad these guys... are expanding and have grown to offer a unique, fun and unapologetically FATtening eating experience. Vibes and energy arealways on point, they?re always playing good music and the service is quick, helpful, friendly and almost reminds me of a coolskate shop vibe except they serve bomb food. Excellent for those with the 4/20 munchies as well ?????????????????? Read more

Fat Sal's is great!! Such a nice big menu with plenty of delicious options! The portions are nice and big, everything is made... fresh to order, and the shakes are a MUST try! The outdoor seating is amazing even on a warm/hot day because they have mistersthat help cool down the entire area but do not make anything feel wet or musty. They have outdoor tvs and they show the gameswhich is great! The staff is great and they keep the entire restaurant nice and clean! Read more

Fat Jerry / thin sliced ribeye steak, grilled onion, melted American, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, crisp bacon, fried... egg, fries, mayo, ketchup, salt & pepper on a hero - 5 ????! Yes. All of that is on one sandwich and it is glorious. I havebeen a fan of Fat Sal's since they first opened in Encino. I live close to their Hollywood location but was out near their oglocation and felt a craving. I visit a few times a year and once even day dreamed about opening a franchise when I loved reallyfar from a Fat Sal's. They have amazing burgers and smothered fries but I tend to grab their loaded heroes. They often havegreat limited time sandwiches and shakes which are worth checking out. Also, this is a Halloween tradition for me since theylove to do an entire costume theme for their Hollywood location including a fully themed menu. My advice is to go in person andscarf it down as soon as they hand it to you. Freshly made is the way to go. Read more
