Fatso's in Norwich

This occasion was meeting an ex work colleague for a catch up, Fatsos was not particularly busy, after all, where is on a Tuesday evening. We were promptly seated without prior booking, our server was very attentive, but not to the point where they didn't leave us alone. The food was plentiful and top notch quality (it always is!)

the bleurger still was cold and red inside "( ...my chicken burger was lovely ..but alas ..the one who paid for the meals couldnt eat hers

If you like burgers or steak you can't go far wrong with Fatsos. Lovely food, good service and a nice chilled atmosphere all at a reasonable price It caters for other food, but best known for its meat and burger dishes, and if that's what you after Fatsos is the place you are looking for

The food was fantastic and very well priced.

Went for a friend's 40th Birthday. All was going well until the mains came out and they had the names of some of the party on the wrong food. This was a pre booked occasion with pre booked meals! All other service went well until we went to pay. Half of the party had already paid for their food and then left. The rest of us paid at the end of the night, but the staff at the till had made a right mess of the bill payments! Everything I paid for was food and drink I had not had. In future, I suggest having 1 competent person at the till all night, who can get customers orders and payments correct. I had not been to Fatsos in years, and I'm not much of a fan of eating out, but it seems to have gotten worse since it's move from Riverside.

I was with a party of 16 and it was very well organised, no one had to wait. Service was excellent, all very friendly and helpful

Order was on time. Food was hot and tasted lovely. However, I only ordered just to get their chocolate fudge cake and it was the 1 item they missed from the order. Phoned restaurant to be told if I do want the fudge cake I have to collect it myself!

Nice place to eat. Friendly staff and tasty food.

Decent meal for a decent price, excellent service and value.

Great little find - lovely staff. Crazy big portions. Tasty and good value for money.

Went for a best friends 40th, had a brilliant evening and food was awesome 👌🏼

A good establishment, very cool decor. Food was tasty and arrived promptly, would reccomend.

living only 5 minutes drive away I was disappointed that the food was barely warm. It tasted okay but was cold before I finished

lovely food once again ") laaaarge portions ..my ribs were amazing !!

Bit loud but couldn't be helped, food was great 😃

Never had a bad meal here. Big portions and very tasty

Excellent if you like cheese sauce, they seem to put cheese sauce on everything. I don't like cheese sauce. Otherwise I'd give it 5 stars. Apart from the cheese sauce, you get what you'd expect American style food in massive portions. Service was quick and the waitresses know the menu.

Couldn't fault it the Burger and trimming was excellent,as was the Mississippi mud pie , service was quick and all with a smile well done all at Fatsos o and at a reasonable price 👍

Great Americana menu, ribs, burgers and steaks. Good food and great atmosphere.

Took my daughters for a birthday meal Food great and plentiful. Staff lovely. Dessert to die for.

Fantastic service this evening by Tallulah very efficient food was excellent. thank you

Quick service, great food and very good service. We had not booked we walked in and was shown instantly to a very nice table. We didn't have to wait long for our food to arrive even though the restaurant was quite busy. Will definitely go again.

Hot plentyfull and well cooked (slight thing is the beans spilled during transit ) thanks for a lovely Sunday treat

Beautiful restaurant. From staff well dressed and very welcoming to very good food . It’s become our favourite restaurant. Take away or dine in we won’t change it and we recommend to everyone.

Portion sizes are great, burgers were alittle dry and didn’t contain pickle like it said which I was craving! But still tasted okay. But usually a big fan of fatsos lovely food

It was a good meal, very generous on the fries, they were fresh and hot.

I had fajitas thy were beautiful enough food for 2 . Will share next time

Decent food at a decent price and good service!

Delivery time was changed to a later time. Wedges hard, mushrooms tasted awful! Like tinned mushrooms.

Food was ok but luke warm. Not as good as we remember from years ago. Was placed on a table next door to a mouthy bloke swearing loudly with his son. Nice way to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary! Didn't even have our anniversary acknowledged by staff despite my husband letting them know when booking so felt very un-special sorry to say. Burgers were slightly overcooked and prawns tasted on the warm side and curly fries weren't overly hot. Dessert didn't blow us away either. Noone came over to check if everything was ok. All in all a disappointing experience so won't be returning. Zak's is much better!!

We walked in without a booking and although they were fully booked that evening they did find us a table. Food was superb as was the service. I would definitely book next time.

Amazing driver , goes above and beyond, should be more like him .

My partner and I enjoy coming here. The food is very good and the service is quick. Food comes out so quickly, so no hanging around which is perfect.

Loved it! Price was reasonable too!

It's a nice place to hang out with family and friends. The meal portions are a lot and you can have it taken away if you're full. Lol. The service was great, and the personnel was willing to help and be friendly. I enjoyed my meal and will visit again soon.

First visit for us and we couldn't have been more impressed! The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and accomodating and the atmosphere was pleasant. The only downside was that we were so stuffed from our mains we couldn't manage any of their amazing looking desserts!

received someone else's order and driver was very unhelpful

Good food for the price .great staff

Lovely friendly delivery driver,delivered on time.Food lovely and hot.Would definetely recommended.

2nd time there in 2 months for special birthdays, the food was lovely and the staff are great

Great gluten free menu. Good food, good service.

We visited yesterday 6 of us, the service was faultless, the food was so disappointing, as a youngster we always went to fatsos for birthdays and the food was fantastic (great Yarmouth) restaurant! I will never step foot in fatsos again, we would of got better in spoons and half the price

We all enjoyed the food we ordered. Plenty of space and an outdoor area with play area. Very pleasant staff.

Early evening visit, it was quiet to start with,then a birthday party arrived. Food was great but portion of fries with meal was wild!!

Good food, large menu choice for food and drink. Excellent staff, friendly and efficient. I think the food is well priced. I have lived in Sprowston for over 20 years and it was my first visit, but, definitely not the last.

Great service with helpful and friendly staff

Nice and quiet on Sunday afternoon, plenty of carparking. We were quickly seated and our order taken soon after. The food arrived hot and it arrived quicker than expected! Tasted delicious 😋

Standard American diner food. Uninspired but good value for money. Kids welcome.

Was shown to our table straight away, staff were friendly and attentive, food was served quickly and very hot. I could not fault anything this evening. We even noticed a problem with the bill which was rectified immediately with no question. Recommend a visit.

I decided to try Fatso’s for my birthday and was extremely underwhelmed and slightly disappointed. I went with my mum who has a peanut allergy, my Dad, wife and 3 year old kid. The restaurant was well presented a little dark and dingy but it was okay. We were seated by a really loud speaker so it was hard to chat. I had written on the booking that my mum had a peanut allergy and called before hand to confirm. My mum ordered a fish dish from the menu that was supposedly nut free however was then told by the waitress that Although the food was peanut free it’s cooked in an oil that may contain nuts… after going back and forth with the waitress (who really was trying in all fairness )my mum gave up and ended up having a burrito. Personally I think it’s strange that a dish that is supposed to be nut free is cooked in oil that may contain nuts… even stranger that the chef / cook couldn’t whip out a frying pan and just use another oil. There didn’t seem to be any problem solving and it just didn’t make sense. The Burrito she had looked really good and she did end up enjoying her food after feeling pretty upset to start with. She did then order a cup of tea. Which was served with … two pots of UHT…… UHT in a restaurant ? These two pots were tiny and my mum loves a strong tea but not even Eddie hall is as strong as the tea she had. The tea was darker than my sense of humour. I was pretty amazed at A) the fact a restaurant isn’t serving fresh milk in a Jug… B) that any restaurant that isn’t McDonald’s or a roadside job is servicing UHT ( baffled, the stuff is disgusting) and C) if it’s coming out that dark why they aren’t giving enough of the disgusting UHT? I had a chicken burger with sweet potato fries and a bit of coleslaw. It was okay but genuinely a bit boring really my plate was literally a burger, some sweet potato fries and a tiny bit of coleslaw lobbed on. My dad had the scampi and Chips. It was okay but I’ve seen better in Wetherspoons for less. I can’t remember what my wife had but she seemed happy. My little boy was happy with his food. The deserts were very good. My dad and I had the Mint sundaes which were very good value and very tasty. My mum had chocolate cake with ice cream… again good value for money.the kid had some vanilla ice cream with a wafer and that looked good and my wife was happy with hers so all round the deserts were good. My dad, my wife and I had the ginger beer which was served as organic ginger beer 250ml which is about two mouthfuls and not really value for money. I also had JD and coke. That was good. All in all I would say that it wasn’t great value for money. The issue with peanut allergy put a downer on it. The UHT just made it look like a cheap cafe. The speaker was a bit annoying but we got unlucky with the seating. The waitress was lovely and tried very hard. so only have good things to say about her or any other the waitresses there who all seemed lovely. I’m sad to say I don’t think I would ever go back. I really was hoping for a good meal but it was genuinely just “okay” and if I want that I can go to a lot of places and pay a lot less.

I was very disappointed (having done some homework & checked which food was nut free on the menu). I was told my food would be cooked in oil that may have traces of nut in it. Like most other restaurants, why don’t they have a small fryer or pan ? ready to cook for people like myself with clean oil in it. We were also sat on top of a loud speaker so it was hard to have conversations between us and the waitress who was really trying to help.

Great friendly service and food. Could not fault anything, great welcome when we arrived and level of service continued throughout. Food was great as well.

Lush random night out for dinner! Good food, great service, was just let down by some “youth diners” swearing a lot in the dining area. Couldn’t fault anything else! 💙

Initial thoughts service was super quick drinks and food. I particularly appreciate that I was apparently identified as a fussy eater as I got rid of lettuce and mayo so they put my coleslaw in a separate container without being asked. Burgers were great.

Great food, worth the price. Chilli burger especially nice 😊

It's definitely taken a turn for the worse here since I last visited. My favourite venue in Norwich is now a place I'll probably never return to

Excellent food, lovely staff excellent service

Delivered very quickly. The food was really nice and portion sizes were huge.

Fantastic food and service well ran and priced

This place never fails to deliver!! Superb and just up the road. Bonus!!

I have visited Fatsos nearly every year for my birthday since I was a kid. I didn't intend on going this year, but driving past it along my root, well I couldn't just drive by. The food as always was a big portion, great taste and cooked to perfection. Service was a tad slow but these things happen at times so I won't go on. Really well priced. Never an issue at all really.

Saddens me to have to write a new review. Our first visit here 8 months ago was so good. We even had a Christmas meal here with family. Last week we returned, not a good experience at all. The staff were good no fault to them but the food, my gosh, terrible. So we ordered, 3 minutes later our drinks arrived. We were just pouring our tea & the food showed up, only 5 minutes after we ordered?! So the food is not fresh to order, it must have been sat around waiting to be plated up. Our food was lukewarm. We were asked how our food was but we both had our mouths full so could not reply. I dare say we won't be returning in the foreseeable future.

Great lunch celebrating a good friend's birthday

Went at lunchtime so it was a bit quieter than it normally is I'm sure. The food was fantastic, and the service was quick. The staff were all brilliant. I would highly recommend a visit.

Great food! Still hot on collection as well 😊

Great food with great service 👌

Brilliant atmosphere, would definitely go again

Where was my curly fries!! I ordered them but there wasn’t any!

Great place for lunch, the food is just a simple affair but really good and portions are generous if that's your thing. Not really in to fine dining & stuck up snobbery therefore, this place is ideal, just sit down, order , eat relax, done!!....Never very busy during the day so love that. Staff are friendly & helpful & value for money is pretty good here.

Staff were nice enough but the food was very poor. Burgers were dry as anything, tasted like the patty’s had been held in a hot hold or under a food lamp for a good half hour. When paying nearly £18 for a burger, you expect better.

Only went for drinks on this occasion but food is always great. Will definitely go again.

Well packaged & very good quality

Food is bang average but I didn’t expect much as they’re all the same. Service was fine, nice restaurant and atmosphere when it’s busy.

Was really nice to go out and eat somewhere where the portion sizes are really generous! Kids got a huge pizza each and a desert as part of the kids meal, we got really good quality food and lots of it. Couldn't recommend more

Fatsos has such a warm, welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The customer service is always outstanding, even if it's crazy busy I've never had a bad experience here. The food is always amazing, filling and delicious. Ranges from American and Mexican dishes. I am always impressed with the kind, helpful, efficient and accommodating staff. The service is 5*

My daughter choose here for her birthday dinner last night and wow we all thought it was brilliant! Very impressed with everything....the staff, service, food, drinks all really good! I haven't been to Fatso's since they were on Prince of Wales Road and with 3 children who all love a burger I'm not sure why!! We'll definitely be back!

Staff were really friendly and enjoyed the food.

Great establishment. Lovely staff, amazing food, friendly atmosphere. The vegan burger was fantastic, and my partner enjoyed his food too. Great experience here!

Really nice food and great service. Also good value

It was cold. Had to put it in the microwave.

chips hard needed bit more cooking!!

First meal from Fatsos and it was excellent

Great food, great service all at a great price.

Sunday evening dinner for family of five to celebrate husbands birthday. Having been to a well known pizza restaurant recently (!) where we were very disappointed with the online ordering - difficult - we super appreciated the speedy polite waiting staff who took our order. Food and drink came out in a timely manner and was delicious hot and filling. I also noticed staff cleaning other tables and resetting as soon as customers had left which I also think makes a good impression. We will definitely book again

Expensive for families but can be a nice treat. Very cold in the restaurant I'd bring a duvet next time. 7 out of 10.

Was ringing around all surrounding restaurants but they were full…. Ring fatsos available, well this should’ve been the first option to begin with! Food hot and tasty. Staff were exceptional. We will definitely return very soon!

Firstly, the waitress service was absolutely wonderful, hard working and attentive, very good job done by front of house. Unfortunately it was downhill from there, the atmosphere was dingy and noisy with screaming children And the food was diabolical. I ordered the hotdog with cheese and bacon and Was presented with a warm ish boiled hotdog (I think canned) covered in processed cheese slop. The bun was soft and flavourless and the only redeeming feature was the bacon….. I won’t be visiting again.

Great food, big portions. However, quite expensive for 2 people, especially the beer

We did not like this place. The service was poor. The waiting staff were not attentive at all. The food was HORRIBLE. I ordered the Philly steak sandwich, which was greasy, and the steak was just fat and gristle, which I couldn't eat. I mentioned to a staff member who didn't care. We will not return

Great place great atmosphere, and great food, deffo go again

Really nice food lots of choice from the American style menu staff were nice food was great a pleasant experience.

Fatsos will offer a fairly average experience. The food will be average and the servers will be nice. Nothing will blow you away and you’ll have a mediocre meal. My friend had a burger he said was quite nice, I had the Philly steak which was lacking of sauce and lacking of flavour. The food is pretty cheap so it won’t hurt the wallet. If you’re stuck on places to eat tonight and fancy a bang average meal then Fatsos will do just fine.

Big portions, and that's about it, food was OK, service was quick

Very last minute trip out and was catered to brilliantly, food was wonderful and very quick to come out. Wonderful service from Lola will definitely come again!

Excellent service and delicious food

Excellent food staff helpful friendly and pleasant ,

Another great meal at Fatso's on 3rd Feb. The food is always and great value for money. The vegetarian/ vegan choices are really good. We were served by Romily, a great member of the Fatso's team. She, along with all the staff, is pleasant, friendly and efficient. I wish there was a way to tip staff individually as they work so hard. I would recommend Fatso's to everyone.

Delicious food, great service and quick delivery 😋

Always good food and good service

Both burgers were undercooked and we were unable to eat them
