Fats Grill

So sad to hear Fat’s building will be torn down… Their food is great and staff are friendly! Good mixed crowd (young/​old). Pool tables and free live music will be missed. Hope they reopen somewhere soon!

The bartender Robert is awesome and friendly. Great happy hour specials, cool place to hang out!

Sweet little place. They have tons of pool tables, always have poker going on, and a spot for live music. Über friendly staff that are both welcoming and accommodating. Good chill spot!

The skinny kid bartender with the big mole on his forehead is seriously the worst bartender I have ever had the displeasure of ordering from. I’m sure at his last job he was a great gumball machine, I just don’t think they should have promoted him to bartender. I would add his name to the review but he chose to hang his stunna shades over his name badge. I really enjoy this place most days of the week. But that’s the days this kid is not fumbling around where bartenders are supposed to be. While I write this he is standing in front of me cutting limes. My beer glass is empty and he could care less. Sad.
I don’t want to leave a 1 star cuz I actually like this bar. But if I see him behind the bar next time I come in I will go elsewhere!!!

Awesome service, if you’re definition of awesome means clueless, slow, sub-​par and mediocre.

Fats is pretty cool. Upstairs has a full restaurant, bar, and pool tables. The food is decent, burgers are pretty good. But the best part is the basement: a full live music venue with its own bar and another pool table. It’s dark and comfortable and always interesting. Beer is a tad overpriced, though.

Came here after with friends since we were hungry and didn’t want to stand in line for another two hours during the food festival and I really like this place. The menu consist of typical bar food which isn’t bad and I had their chicken teriyaki taco and it was awesome! The tortilla was soft, the chicken was tender and the veggies were fresh. The staff was friendly and accommodated my needs when I asked them to exclude olives since I’m allergic to them. The teriyaki sauce was light and I liked how they didn’t drench the chicken in sauce which would make my burrito hard to eat and my bread would’ve gotten soggy. The waiter was friendly and came by with drinks quickly. The place is kept clean and I will be back!

This is why people think bars in Utah lack in comparison to the rest of the country. Horrible service each time I go. I know you’re busy, I can be a patient woman, but fries — yes plain ol’ FRIES — should never come out 43 minutes after I order them cold and hard. The pizza is a sad mess and will never be ordered again from an experience months ago, the loaded cheese fries looked like they rose from the dawn of the dead 40 years ago, the nachos were the best thing our table actually didn’t send back but how can you screw up chips with cheese? To sum it up, don’t even pretend you’re going to eat here. Spend your hard earned paper elsewhere and save them from the embarrassment.
Also Fatty, don’t advertise $ 1 beer and $ 3 shots on the night of a big event if your management and waitstaff hasn’t fully prepared for what business that would bring into your establishment. Fix the food, get your management up to speed with the rest of the world, train your waitstaff properly, and I will attempt to pretend that will fix your issues. Until then, there’s a bar five steps away where you should go instead.

I guess it’s a good idea to update reviews every 4 – 5 years.
Fats is still great. Now that they have a full bar, things are even better! The atmosphere is nice. It’s cozy and inviting, but still a bit raucous and somewhat noisy. They have live music most nights and it’s usually pretty good stuff.
The pool tables are in great shape. They’re always level and the cushions are true.
The food is mostly average to slightly above average. The wings are fries are travesties. BAKED french fries? Shouldn’t they be called «French bakes» or something? They’re just sad. Same goes for the wings. They’re baked and they’re not good a’tall. I would suggest getting a pizza, or a burger, or a sandwich.
I would give the food 2 – 3 stars, but the full bar, awesome pool tables, and excellent service bump the overall rating to «Yay! I’m a fan.»

We stopped by because we were seriously craving some ooey gooey cheesy cheese fries and someone on the interwebs said that this was the place.
When we got there the place was pretty dead, but I would expect as much from showing up at a bar at 4 in the afternoon.
I ordered a garlic burger and Blue ordered a good ol bacon cheese burger. We both upgraded our regular fries to cheese fries. Even though they were dead it still took a bit to get our food.
The burgers… Decent. I was slightly disappointed that my garlic burger was essentially a regular burger with a spoonful of minced garlic on top.
The cheese fries were OK, but not as ooey or gooey as we would have hoped. The cheese was a little over cooked and only covered the top layer. That being said, they had a great flavor and there were plenty of them. Overall a decent place to play some pool and eat.

I’ve been coming here for 3 years and have never had a bad time. The food is good and offers a decent variety for all pallets with a full bar and several regulation pool tables. Come with an appetite and thirst for beer and order off the menu with a triple fats burger and natural ice cans for a dollar!

No wheelchair access to basement which is where the music is. I have been told that staff will be happy to assist.

Awesome bar tender, great pool… came in early on a Thursday night and was very impressed. Laid back sugar house crowd.

Sadly, this place has gone down hill. I went there for dinner and drinks last week. We were told they had no beer on tap. Then as we ordered food, were told they were out of burgers. Burgers, which is arguably, the best thing on their menu, not to mention majority of their menu offerings. So my dining companion ordered something else and we received our food. A table near us ordered and when food was delivered, miraculously, they received a burger. The server asked my companion if he then wanted a burger, half way though his meal. She did not offer to comp it or take any off our bill, just wanted to know if he wanted to order an additional burger. Then the bill came, they have the audacity to charge $ 9 for a bottle of Stella Artois. We were forced to order bottled beer because there was no beer on tap. The entire experience was disappointing and confusing. We will not be back.

I’ve only been once but had a decent Reuben sandwich. Not sure if I’ll ever go back. It seemed to be mostly a sausage party of locals.

This place has horrible food. I get that it’s a bar, but even their bar food and drinks are totally lazy and sub par.
Our nachos were stale and pretty pathetic; only half the chips were covered in cheese and the rest of the toppings were sparse. My friend ordered the «pizza bread,» which was basically no different from those cardboard microwave pizzas, And the «marinara sauce» was literally just tomato paste. I ordered a margarita and it was gross; cheap tequila and margarita mix.
While we were there I noticed that all the men coming out of the bathroom had a disgusted look on their face. So, we checked it out, and there was about 3 inches of water on the floor from the toilet overflowing!
The service was bad too, the waitress was nice enough, but she kept messing things up and took FOREVER to get our food and checks to us.
Probably not going back. But I’m not really into Pabst or pool either.

I suppose the name says it all, you come to this place to pick up some weight… Drink beer, play pool, eat burgers and fried stuff. This place is quite big, they have a few pool tables, a bar, an area for live music, and a basement open occasionally for parties. I guess it is not like other bars where they check your ID first thing you entered, but only afterward if you order an alcoholic beverage.
I was torn between the TNT Burger and the Green Chile Bacon Burger, both looked quite tempting. I ended up going with TNT Burger since I was told to be spicier. It was delicious and provided a mouthful of warm fuzzy feelings. It came with regular fries and fry sauce, they were ok. I also tried some wings, cheese fries, and nachos, the wings actually taste better than they look, the cheese fries and nachos were both super cheesy.
Fats Grill is place where you can find a comfortable bar experience and not-​your-​average-​bar-​food. Service can be a bit slow in times and live music can be quite loud if you sit too close. Too bad we did not play pool that night.

Pool hall! that’s right, kids, this is where you go to get your billiard on. But wait – there’s more. It’s part pool hall, part bar, part restaurant, and part venue.
Pool Hall
I dunno. I didn’t play. But they’re there, and they look to be in pretty good shape. A whole row of them, and a whole bunch of people who know about them and who want to be there shooting. It wasn’t too packed (read: kinda quiet) on a Wednesday night and there was room to belly up to the table.
Bar
Yup. Bar. Drinks. I don’t partake, so really I’m semi-​useless in this category. But some folks do, and you can get your drank on. It looks like a beer-​and-​well-​drink kind of place. Not a lot of mixology.
Restaurant
The burger brought me here. And though the bun was a hair dry, it was a tasty one. Mantern loves him the jalapeño burger, but that’s because he’s not a wussy mouth like me. For me, it was more simple than all that. They have a few takes on the classic burger. Lots of fried stuff. That’s their thing, and it’s like bar food with a focus on bar food. The wings were well done (a little too much) and the cheese fries were a pile of calories (full of more calories and happiness) and that’s what to expect.
Venue
We had some live music. I’m told there actually is a downstairs and they have music there. Having not seen it, I can’t vouch. But worth checking out. Sugar House is such a cool neighborhood that you really need to have a place with live music right here.

This is a really nice bar. Very clean, good people, very relaxed environment with live music, pool, etc.
Old reviews state it’s beer only but that’s changed. They are a full service bar with cocktails, beer and wine. They also have a pretty extensive food menu, though we didn’t order anything to eat when we visited.
I liked it and would definitely visit again and try out the menu. It has a nice relaxed, college feel to it and I love the location in the heart of Sugarhouse.

Stopped here with the wife while doing some Christmas shopping a couple of months ago. We were in the area and just decided to pop in before picking up the kids from day care.
It’s a bit tucked away in Sugar House, just down the block from the abomination known as the Sugar Hole. It’s a local joint that is loaded with T. V’s, pool tables and a nice long bar. A great place to hang out, eat a burger, shoot the shi*t and play some pool.
A solid three stars from me. If I didn’t have two wee ones, I would spend a lot of time here.
