Food will not disappoint. My favorites are the crispy panini and ginormous salads. Be prepared to wait cuz this place gets packed at lunch especially Friday’s.

Have lunch here several times per month and have been completely satisfied with the service and the food. Hot dog and fries, hamburgers all good. Daily specials also hit the spot. Good ingredients fresh food can get packed at lunch, testament to the food and service.

Had the Charlie Sheen without the STDs. It is suppose to be one of their top selling burgers and I can see why. There is an egg on it, and how can you not want that?

I got the Charlie Sheen burger and it was awesome! Fried pickles and their spicy ranch is a must! The chili mac hot dogs were a waste though. The honey mustard chicken wrap was really good.

There is no reason you shouldn’t order a burger and fries here for lunch. Unless, of course, you are there for the breakfast(which I cannot write about because I have never been there earlier than 11AM– but they serve breakfast all day!). You just need to order any kind of burger they offer, and the Fatt Fries. It’s really what they excel at. They have enough variety and toppings to satisfy anyone’s weird cravings, and the Fatt Sauce you can put on your fries and feel really bad about yourself afterwards, because you know it was like eating 2000 calories all at once(JUSTTHEFRIES). But damn does it taste good. One time,(at band camp) I ordered a salad here. It came out almost as large as the tray itself. This is obnoxiously large, and I think the employees decided if anyone came here and wanted to act all sanctimonious about being«healthy» they would give them an entire head of iceburg lettuce with a ton of toppings to show them another way they can get to 1000 calories while thinking they are being healthy. Another time, I had a special– grilled chicken with buffalo sauce, blue cheese crumbles, all on flat bread with fatt fries. Again, this was a winner. I couldn’t even finish 1⁄3 of my fries. The portions are huge. Just as a side note, parking here is kind of busy, so aim for the side parking lot so you don’t hit anyone on your way in or out of the one way channel along the front of the restaurant.

Place is awesome. From regular sandwiches to the creative burgers, there is something here for everyone(Except Vegans). They serve huge breakfast platters all day and have great sauces to accompany any meal. Every meal here has a characteristic to it, and the menu is large enough for a good variety but not so large that it seems like there are food items that don’t get enough love. My favorite things to get are: Charlie Sheen, Red Reuben, and these hot dogs with bacon bits on them.

With a name like Fatt Mustard, as you would imagine, its menu is full of health food. Just kidding: it’s a greasy spoon diner that serves gut bombs in abundance. That said, the prices are hard to beat and the portions are ridiculous. I always look for places with«unique» menu items, and this place has many to choose from – some would say too many. There were about a dozen menu items that were what I call«dare foods” – novelty food items not meant to be savored and enjoyed but angrily consumed in spite. These are foods that push the boundaries of human endurance and are only served as part of a contest. My wife almost accidentally ordered one until the server warned us that eating it within 20 minutes could earn her a free T-shirt(not a joke). We settled on a burger for me, hot dog for her and shared an order of Cyclops Fries – cheese fries with diced onions, jalepenos, marinara sauce and a giant meatball in the center. That was 8 hours ago and I’m still full. Thumbs up; would gorge again.

Grabbed a breakfast burrito here — not on the menu but they will throw anything you want into a large spinach or tomato burrito for you. Eggs were scrambled and EXCELLENT! Sausage was a little spicy which was nice. Cheese was fully melted. Only draw back is that the hash browns — tossed into the burrito could have been cooked more — they were not raw, they were done but I like mine with a little crisp so that is on me for not specifying. I ate at 9AM and it’s now 330PM and I am still plenty full!

Awesome burgers! If youre looking for a craft burger, def check this place out! Charlie Sheen is by far my fav. A little pricey but totally worth it! Ive had the breakfast once, really good, except their hasbrowns were a little too peppery for my liking. Need to Try! Staff and location kinda suck, but hey, good food!

Swung by here on lunch break, called in my order before hand, seperate line for pick ups which is nice. Loaded cheese fries are amazing. Busy at lunch but still made it in and out in good time. The Bart Simpson(Mac n chz with marinara) burger wasn’t the best but I will be in again to try another. Parking was a bit of a pain though, like I said, busy at lunch in a strip mall. Huge menu though and gyros! I will have to try those too

I am a breakfast foodie. I love a restaurant that puts a twist on things. Now, before eating the breakfast here, I had tried a panini because it was a free lunch thanks to my workplace. Plus, I was new to the area and didn’t know many restaurants in the proximity. The sandwiches are good; Greasy, but good. The fries are in fact fresh cut, but they’re more like fry nuggets because most of them are so small. In my opinion, the lunch food is average at best. Back to breakfast: They have an amazing opportunity to make some bomb breakfast food. Considering they open at the crack of dawn and close just after lunch, they need to make desayuno a priority. You can order it all day, with an exception of a few items. Again, their breakfast is simply average. The omelets usually don’t come out fully cooked. I’ve gotten pieces of egg whites that are still gooey-nasty and personally gross me out(haha). I am sorry to say this, but they’re hashbrowns suck. They are completely undercooked and have no flavor what-so-ever. I understand that they are simply potatoes, but throw some spices on those suckers! Even asking for them well-done doesn’t change anything; Trust me, I’ve asked for them EXTRA well done. I would suggest swapping the hash out with tots, if you enjoy crispy tators like myself. On a more positive note, they’re country fried steak is to die for. It’s delicious, fresh, and smothered in white country gravy. If you were to get breakfast there, go for the CFS, no questions asked. In the end, it’s all like I said: Just average. And greasy. With horrible hashbrowns. Do I suggest trying it out? Sure, why not. Would I make it a point of interest if you’re in town? Mehhh, probably not. Though, to each their own, right?

Love this place. The recipes are amazing and the menu is massive. There are a few healthy options, but if you’re looking to cure a hangover, look no further. The burgers, hot dogs, french fries, and sandwiches are great. I would especially recommend the Party Crashers, the Bucket Burger, the Charlie Sheen, and the Big Opah. You can’t really go wrong here, there’s definitely something for anyone. A friend of mine who works nearby turned me on to this place, and since then I’ve insisted on bringing several other friends in to try it, and not one of them disliked it. Keep an eye on the hours, they’re closed Sundays and close at 3 every other day. It is probably a good thing this place isn’t open late, otherwise I could see myself making several post-midnight treks here to wrap up long nights of partying.

We order here to cater for work. They have excellent food and we’ve tried just about everything. We love the hot dogs and they have a bunch of different types. The burgers are also good.

OMG… this place is right by my job. I heard a couple of people talking about this place and was sort of interested. One of the managers at my job daughter’s knows the owners son. I was set on going since the daughter recommended it. Holy Heaven. Im a very healthy eating person but sometimes a girl needs grease. This place is amazing. The amount of items is incredible. The cheeseburgers come with a nice warm bun and they are a very nice size burger. The serve breakfast everyday at anytime, I love breakfast! Breakfast for lunch is awesome. They also have a healthy section and a nice salad section as well.

Y’know those places you see on Unilocal that have AMAZZING looking pictures, and great reviews and someone calls it a hidden gem and you have to try it? This isn’t one of those places. We were persuaded by the reviews and the pretty pictures, but when all is said and done, this is just a regular local hot dog joint. They try to put some interesting things on their dogs, and sandwiches, but overall it’s just average stuff you could make at home. Their big claim to fame seems to be the Fat Sauce, which tastes almost exactly like Red Robin’s Campfire Sauce. What they do is fine. We ordered a couple of chili dogs that had mac ‘n cheese on top, with bacon and whatnot. There wasn’t really anything special about them. They tasted fine. They looked fine. They were fine. Don’t take this review the wrong way. If I lived in the area and was craving a hot dog, I’d definitely come back. But I wouldn’t make it a destination stop again. In fact, this is going to be a short review because it’s just simple stuff. Service was prompt and friendly. Presentation was fine. Taste was fine. It’s just not stand up and shout, eat here every week delicious. And that’s okay.

I really wanted to love Fatt Mustard but they’re gonna have to settle for like until they try a little harder. My double bacon cheeseburger was eh, okay. The meat was more bland than anticipated, since they boast about it being their own and being made fresh daily. And the bacon? I was not a fan. Seemed kinda cheap and thin. The fries… not sure what all the raving is about, I got mostly tiny little pieces that I had to spear mass quantities of onto a fork just to dip in ketchup… where all the pieces then fell off the fork and into the ketchup. Gave up and tossed them, mostly the whole bag. They were a bit undercooked anyway. You’d think those tiny little pieces would have fried up fast. For $ 10, I can do a ¾ lb burger at Dino’s in Glendale Heights. And the fries are included. I will say, Fatt Mustard has the best burger in a 5 mile radius of my job. Unfortunately, as most burgers suck around my job, that’s not a huge claim to fame.

I’ll be honest — I had many reasons to fear this place. I’d read it was greasy, and with menu items such as The Heart Attack, Doomsday Dogs, The Charlie Sheen and The Ricky Bobby I knew I should stay FAR.AWAY. They put gyro meat on burgers. Mac n cheese on buns. Country fried steak and gravy ONTOPOF a beef patty. I mean this place is like THEULTIMATE hangover food and I just can’t bring myself to eat it when I have to return back to the office and try to function like an adult. However, the intern guys at work(bless their hearts) invited me and I decided I’d try a chicken sandwich– Blue Buffalo. I was glad it was grilled, not fried. It was good but it had jalapenos and it was then I’d realized I had made a mistake. Why, you ask? I love jalapenos, but… Canned jalapenos? Really? Who are you kidding, Fatt Mustard? Booooo. Boo I say. You got some points back with the tots. I’ll be back but only because these interns are good kids and I enjoy an occasional lunch with them. If nothing else the menu will give you a good laugh– Hold the fried Chickenator!
