      First couple of times I came here in 2019. Really impressed by very good bbq, quick service and great beer selection.

      Hasn't changed ( which is a good thing )

      If you can try their pastrami - Great
      10x better and lager the @Togo's ( and I'm a fan) for about the same price

      Service is always great: attentive & friendly.

      The restaurant has a relaxed/chill vibe.

      Food: Everything I've ordered is delicious but my absolute favorite is their brisket and mac n'cheese. Their barbecue sauces are all wonderful. We've had them cater for our parties and people always ask, "Who made the food??" because it's delicious. I highly recommend this place.

      Updated review

      2/2/24 - Sorry to say that my stellar reviews of my past visits have now been cancelled!!! When I walked in I was quickly greeted by a cashier/server. She didn't waste any time by telling me that they had sold out of the tri-tip. I guess she could tell by the look on my face that is what I came for and YES it was!! I asked for a menu anyway to see what else I could order and was hoping that they have added some more items, but same menu. So, since I have never tried their brisket I ordered a brisket sandwich with onion rings and a soda. You pay when you order and it came up to $24.+. There were two customers seated and one at the bar so it was a very quiet restaurant.

      My meal came very quick and I couldn't wait to bite into my sandwich. I did, and it was tasty but I needed more sauce so I grabbed two from the table next to me, one sweet & tangy the other Chipotle. I opened my sandwich to add the sauce and at first it looked good, but something told me to look at it again and when picked up the other half of the first piece I ate it was nothing but fat on the other end. I picked up the other two slices and more of the same. I could have screamed, it was all fat, then I picked up the second half and it was all fat, nothing was trimmed off.

      I should have said something when the waiter asked me if everything was okay, I didn't!!! I was quietly furious and didn't want to cause a scene or let other customers who just sat down within hearing distance know of my dissatisfaction!!! I drank the little bit of soda I had and left. I was so disappointed I just sat in my car for a few minutes and I had completely lost my appetite, I wasn't going home, so I needed to eat something but I just couldn't, appetite ruined for the evening!!! I am glad I put something in my stomach at 10:30a, or I would've eaten all day!!!! Now it's either almost five or a little after.

      It has been a while since I have been here, the theater was still across the street, because I have been busy with my grandchildren. I could bring my grandson here and he would be happy, but my granddaughter is very picky and she wouldn't eat. Now, I don't know when I will feel like visiting again. Sad!!!

      I ordered a brisket sandwich and I got nothing but fat!!!

      I ordered the brisket and the ribs. With a side of French fries, onion rings, and Mac n cheese.

      The meat here was VERY tender and VERY juicy. I really liked the texture. Unfortunately, the flavor was non existent without sauce. I felt as though I had to drown the brisket and the ribs in it, in order to have some flavor.

      The French fries and the onion rings were good, classic.

      The Mac n cheese unfortunately was also very plain and didn't really taste like much. It didn't have the creamy, rich, and cheesy taste that I usually expect when getting Mac n cheese.

      Service: Was great. The two ladies who helped us were very kind and helpful.

      Ambiance: Was fine, but a crackhead walked in.

      Great place for some bbq food! Had the fat city spud with brisket and oh man the meat was so tenderrrr. I recommend it. Didn't finish the potato it was in since it's humongous but if you're feeling it and hungry this is all you need to go into a food coma lol.

      The tremor beer lager is a great pair. I'm a big lager fan so I recommend it.

      Great seating for big groups or small groups, retro throwback music was spot on when I went in. Plenty of parking in the back. Service is friendly and nothing to complain about. Food came out fast. I'd come back.

      Seriously!!! The Fat City spud with that flavorful, smoked, mouth watering brisket!! It's loaded with meat, cheese, sour cream and bbq sauce.
      Talk about a meal. This hits the spot.

      Working near this place so I had to try it out and I'm glad I did!

      Tri-Tip is my favorite food so if it's in the menu im getting it! I ordered the 1 meat plate with 2 sides. I was given a generous portion of tender tri tip that was perfectly pink in the center and seasoned greatly. The Mac and cheese was good in a way I don't think I've ever had before. The cheese was so gooey and almost had like a queso taste to it that made it stand out and very good. The onion rings were nice and golden crispy. I love when you have to actually bite into an onion ring. Noting is worse than taking a bite and the whole onion string out. These were very good. The only thing I didn't really like were the sauces. They were all on the sweeter side and I'm someone who likes spice but other than that it was great!

      Out of town and a friend wanted to try a new bbq place. We wound up here at fat city brew & bbq. All three of us got two meat plates, a mixed drink and a appetizer to split. The total bill plus tip came out to $168, which honestly is a little pricey.

      For my plate I got the tri tip, brisket, Mac & cheese and potato salad. The best thing was the brisket, the tri tip was alright but just like the appetizers a little bland. I would still try this place again whenever in town but next time to help cut down on the cost, I think I will get a sandwich as I noticed a lot more customers opted for sandwiches instead. The mixed drinks were pretty good and priced fine, but just a little heavy on the ice.
