The menu at Fattboy Burgers and Dogs may be succinct, but what the menu lacks in size, Fattboy's chefs makes up for in careful preparation and fresh ingredients. Freshly ground, high quality beef and kosher franks come from the kitchen, which is probably why local families and couples alike come by time and time again for lunch or dinner.

Regulars highly recommend kicking off your meal with an appetizer, particularly the fried pickles. The crunchy, deep-fried treat is a good way to ease into your main course. The classic Fattboy burger or Fattchick chicken sandwich both come in standard and slim sizes, and then there's also the Fattdog if you prefer a frank. Paired with fries or onion rings, the burgers and sandwiches make for a hearty meal any time of day. Wash down your meal with one of the craft or domestic beers on the menu at Fattboy Burgers and Dogs.
