Kenny UgelFebruary 9, 2018One of the tastiest burgers I've had in a long time. Both char and smash burgers were delicious, juicy, & gooey. If you don't want to wait at a fancy restaurant for the best burger in town, come here!
John KhuuNovember 2, 2015A perfect late night spot for some greasy grub in Ukranian Village. Bob is such a nice guy and will make sure you get everything you want/need to fill up your stomach. Get the "double fatso"!
ChicagoistAugust 7, 2015Inside you’ll find delicious Chicago-style char dogs, cheese fries, burgers and fried shrimp that will either fuel the rest of your late night adventures or help ease some of tomorrow’s hangover. Read more
Snoopy GApril 18, 2016Definitely a place worth checking out burger was very juicy and atmosphere was very cool take in mind it was a warm Saturday night when I visited
Off The MenuFebruary 23, 2016Shrimp Po Boy: There's more to this menu than meets the eye. Secretly spiced and breaded shrimp in between a bun slathered with cheddar cheese sauce and topped & tomato, pickles, slaw & french fries. Read more- Grace AldridgeJuly 22, 2015You can't go wrong with the Chart Cheddar Dog. Picnic tables outside if it's warm enough to sit there!
Ricel AlmadovarOctober 26, 2014Order Fatso's Double Burger with Cheese, Char Dog with Cheese and the Jumbo Fried Shrimp. Worth every calorie :-)
- ChicagoistApril 4, 2017When it’s hard to drag yourself out of a self-inflicted fog, head to ketchup and mustard-colored Fatso’s Last Stand for a no-fuss double char-dog and fries. Read more
Joseph CaputoAugust 9, 2013Char-dog with everything is good, except next time I'll leave off the melted cheese as it tends to break up the bun. Maybe they should find sturdier buns so the cheese can stay.
Time Out ChicagoMarch 27, 2012The “last stand” of local blogger/food enthusiast “Chicago Fat Phil”—owner Phil Ashbach—features Fatsos (burgers) and Welch’s grape juice (huh?) until 4am on weekends. Our pick for "Best New Stand." Read more
Sarah WallerAugust 1, 2014Thursday Special is the Tony Dog. Try it out!! Mac & Cheese is also very good. Remember cash only!
The Ooey Gooey is amazing but it lives up to its name. Grab a bunch of napkins - you're going to get messy.
Jaclyn LeMarch 3, 2019Fried Shrimp was the star. Had trouble finishing the 1/4 pound order between the two of us. Ok burger and char dog. Miss the snap of the hotdog and burger meat texture was a bit dry rather than juicy
Tania SarenacFebruary 5, 2012Best fried shrimp. If u like spicy ask for the spicy cocktail sauce. Plus, if u ask for a side cup of cheese, make sure u like real thick cheese bc ur gonna get it!
Rigo BanuelosJanuary 3, 2017I've had Phil's special, double fatso, and the ooey gooey. Everything was flavorful and cooked well. It's also not heavy on your wallet. Cash only
Get the char dog with everything. Beware, cheese on the side for fries is not the best...was incredibly thick and rubbery but love everything else- Ibrahim UkyApril 20, 2017AMAZING! I think it's the best burger in Chicago. And the price is good too!
One of the best shrimp po'boys I've ever had! The max and cheese with salami is home made and mouth watering.- Single fatso with cheese is perfect for lunch. The cheese for the cheese fries is AMAZING!
ᴡᴡᴡ.Graham.linodxz.ru DavisMarch 23, 2013Amazing place. Owner is awesome and char dogs are fantastic. But the best part is the fries. Order them.
Jessica PoppieSeptember 11, 2012Fatso reminds me of In n' Out Burger and the Mac n' cheese with salami is sooo good too!
Great place! Love the fried shrimp, char dogs, and fatsos( hamburgers).
Emily S.April 27, 2015They have a veggie dog and incredible, crispy cheddar cheese fries. Will be back.
- Ron SpinabellaJuly 31, 2020A burger, fries, and drink was $17. It was ok, not exceptional. I've had wagu burgers for less money that tasted five times as good
ManbqueApril 12, 2012Get the char dog with extra cheese, bring it home and wash it down with a Half Acre Daisy Cutter.

Jillian BurnickasFebruary 5, 2015Open late and good fries, burgers are a little small for their price though.
Best burgers in town! Double fatso w/cheese, extra fatso sauce! Get it.
I am not happy unless I get a Char Dog with everything at least once a week.
Amaze-balls shrimp - just order a whole pound because half isn't enough!!

"The grill near the main entrance will cook any meat you purchase in the store. The cheddar pub burger and salmon steaks were delicious, and the gelato station next to it is a great addition!"
