The 1lb wings were amazing, they had a lot of meat on them. The side sauce was 10/10 & complimented well with sweet potato fries & wings.View more

10/10 Service even with a massive hockey party going on at the same time. Best BBQ I've ever had no lie. 11/10 food. Corn bread is to die for. To top it all off pretty cool atmosphere. I'll definitely be back. Big plus is having leftovers for breakfast the next day!View more

Finally got back here after nearly a decade. The food was as good as I remembered & it's especially hard to find good brisket & BBQ here in Ottawa. The food was done well, & the service was attentive & friendly. I had the hungry man & was glad I had the ribs on my plate, which were sampled with all the sauces. Even the leftover white sauce from the onion rings. & I'm glad I caved & got the deep fried Oreos for dessert. A great place for a special dinner.View more

Great place for BBQ smoked meats! Cozy & went early so wasn't very busy. Had the sharing platter - Kentucky Derby platter which has a mixture of ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket, southern fried chicken & smoked chicken & choice of two sides. We had the maple pecan sweet potato mash, fries & ordered an extra side of mac n cheese & comes with corn bread, so don't order that as one of your sides. Food was delicious! They make their own homemade BBQ sauce & mustard which are very tasty. Extensive drinks & cocktails menu, they have a maple bacon whiskey which we didn't try.... We wanted to see the dessert menu, but all they had on offer was deep-fried Oreos which we gave a skip. Could do with some Texas style desserts. They do give you a load of lollipops with the bill which was a nice treat! Overall great food & nice atmosphere, service was pretty good. We will go back!View more

The atmosphere & service was amazing. & i feel that the excessive price covers just that, thus making me question: was it worth it? My answer was no. 29.99$ for 6 ribs that are dry, barely any flavor & comes with a piece of corn bread so dry i could use it as a weapon. At the end of the day, the food should come first but it came last. Won't be comming back. Please note that the staff did everything they could. The issue is really with the recipe &/or chef.View more

I would highly recommend Fatboys if you love BBQ. The staff was friendly, including the owner who was very personable & went out of his way to make us feel welcome. Congrats to him on climbing Mt Everest! The recommendations the staff gave from drinks to what sauce to use with which meat was spot on. The food itself was fall apart, melt in your mouth tender. Just fantastic.View more

Went there with a craving for bbq meat, our host was amazing & made us great suggestions. The fried pickles were just delicious & crispy ! We shared the Kentucky meat platter, generous portions & tasty. The meat would have been a bit more warm to my personal taste, Mac & cheese was a bit disappointing ( bit watery/blend flavour), but overall great experience & would go back again!View more
