Their grilled chicken wings were amazing. Their burgers and sandwiches were good, but nothing extraordinary. more

I absolutely loved this place. I went with my boyfriend. We both wanted to try a few different things so we got an appetizer and two meals, and split everything. We started with wings, they have a TON of different flavors, each one getting hotter as they go down the list. We opted for the jalapeno cheddar wings - sounds... more

Located among the throng of bars and restaurants on East Carson Street, this Southside location offers the greatest selection of sandwiches and appetizers. Ten Year ago, it was an overcrowded local bar, just beginning to gain fame. In a few years, Fat Heads bought the building next door and expanded to twice its size. Recently, it expanded again, knocking down... more

A kitchen unable to get an order correct TWICE, management that does nothing to correct such crappy service. Utterly disgusting. Avoid this place like the plague, you will be treated like crap, not get the food you wanted, and be charged an arm and a leg for it. more

As a native of the city, I like to take people to Fathead's just for all of the beer they have on tap. The food is also very delicious! Service here is slow, but it is always crazy busy in there so that is to be expected. Well worth a try! more

We decided to head on over to "Fat Head's" to see what all the hype was about. My husband and I both ordered a "headwich". Mine was an italian, his was something with keilbasa. Both were very good (and huge--I took half back to the hotel for a midnight snack.) They didn't have a children's menu, but a big enough... more

Anyone who loves to eat should go to Fatheads...I have never had a bad experience food or beer-wise. If you leave there hungry and dissatisfied...you must be bitter because you are on a diet. The Spicy-Parm wings are incredible and I can honestly say...every sandwich I have had is great...it all depends what you are hungry for at the moment. more
