Reviews for Fatty's Taphouse in Fredericksburg, VA
1st visit the crab soup was delicious. Thanks to Alexia for the soup recommendation. We shared the pick 2 shrimp and scallops... grilled. They were yummy and so were the fries. Cole slaw was good little too much dressing though. All and all great food andexcellent service. We will definitely go ahead and try a burger! Read more
Well, it is different. It is grimey, dank, and expensive. The "self service wall of beer" is not well explained and could of... been better done. It did have variety but the taps have so much pressure you end up wasting the beer or getting alot of foam.(Even if you tilt it while you pour) There was one snotty waitress. He specific on what your looking to eat. I wanted a steampot of shrimp and since I didn't say deveined and peeled, I got shrimp in the shell not deveined steamed in a bag. The onlyshining light was the bartender Sky. She was helpful and actually tried. Thank you. The rest of the place looks partially puttogether and could use a deep cleaning. The steam pot for 1 pound cost $35. Im still not sure it was worth it. But they saythe seafood is fresh from the market. Read more
Nice place with great drinks. Seafood was cooked very well and seasoned even better. 4 stars due to the quality of service, and... I know it?s hard to find good quality employees nowadays but it would be really nice to receive quality service when your payingover 100$ for two people. With all that being said I love the setting of the tap house and all the TV?s to watch sports. We willbe back and hopefully receive better service. Read more
The food here is good, but not great. Service is friendly and attentive. The price is extremely high relative to quality. If... you are the type of person that would enjoy a self serve beer wall, this is a great option. If you are just looking for a gooddinner, there are better restaurants in the area at this price point. Read more
Second time here! Our food came out pretty fast with big portions and it was all delicious. The self pour beer is neat, I got to... try new flavors for me. Our server was friendly and attentive. So far both experiences have been great. Read more
Fatty's is so much fun! They have fantastic service, one of their head bartenders, Zach, will make sure you have a great night... out, but make sure to bring your DD along! He makes fantastic cocktail concoctions for those that want to be a bit moreadventurous and want to try something new. Besides great bartenders, they also have a self-pour beverage wall for all the beerlovers out there! Thanks to their PourMyBeer self-serve system, you can pour tons of local craft beers by the ounce. Plenty ofoptions - IPAs, lagers, sours, stouts, you name it! Also, so much fun that you don't have to stick to a full glass of somethingyou don't like and can try every beer just for a few cents. Love it! The food is awesome, too! You can't go wrong with calamarihere and also their desserts, oh man! The key lime cake and chocolate cake are must-haves! Can't wait to be back for more! Enjoyyour visit! Read more
We enjoyed the meal. The Grass fed burger was extremely tasty. My wife enjoyed the shrimp. I sampled a few of the beer... selection. The selection was lacking a Cider option. That was they only reason to drop the rating to 4 stars. The service wasgreat. Worth going back to be pampered by the hostess. Read more
Service was a bit off at first. One person our party received the main course before All the apps came and even before anybody... elses main course, which was not a good start, but it turned to excellent afterwards. The oysters on the half shell were veryfresh, the seafood chowder was excellent, creamy, loaded with seafood, burger was scrumptious, calamari was firm not soggy,seafood platter was plentiful and tasty. We did send back the fajitas, it tasted re-heated and dry as cardboard, but we receiveda credit for it as well as a discount for the inconvenience. Overall would definitely return. They offer a huge selection ofbeer on tap you can serve yourself which we thought was convenient. You can try from a myriad of beers. Will return and orderthe chowder again and the seafood platter, stay away from the fajitas.. LOL Read more
