Editorial review from Citysearch 11/25/2012

I have been going to Fatz since I first moved to NC in 2004. I highly recommend this restaurant, but definitely the Shelby, NC store. Not only have many of the staff members became honorary family members ;) but the professionalism, food, and desserts are phenomenal. The menu has many items that change seasonally, but the good 'ol favorites remain too. Our family visits Fatz for any reason we can possibly create (almost). We do go when my kids get excellent report cards, birthdays, and even my wedding anniversary. In today's economic struggle, it can be a difficult choice of where you would like to spend your money, but this is a wonderful place to take your family for a great dinner. They also have wonderful Sunday dinner specials for the after-church goer. You won't be disappointed. PS.... my latest and greatest favorite is the Jalapeno burger (even though I'm not a big burger fan. more

Good food, handsy staff 2/13/2011

I love the calabash chicken and the ribs & shrimp plate. The prices are a little high but it's good quality food.\r \r My only real complaint is that the staff hasn't been told that most parents are protective of their kids and don't want a stranger touching them. I had to ask our waitress to not touch my baby after she was literally rubbing noses with him. Just minutes after doing so another waitress came by and rubbed her hand across my child's face.\r \r Most people have the common courtesy to not do this but to have two staff members do it just minutes apart seemed unusual to me. more

Fatz 2/11/2006

This is a great place to eat with great prices and great people. The food is always hot and the wait is never bad. The restaurant is not hard to get to either. Clean place with friendly people. more

Fatz Cafe 2/2/2006

This restaurant is a very popular restaurant. You wil see people in jeans as well as dress-up. The servers are nice and usually prompt and attentive. The wait time can be long. Restaurant has the best chicken fingers you will ever taste. Their salads are wonderful! Although I have had problems with this restaurant, they are usually solved quickly. Most people in Shelby like this place a lot. I don't like the parking though and the location is not that good. But it does stay busy! The last time I went there was as great as the others. I lacked nothing at any time. What a great experience! more

Pretty Good 4/13/2005

Fatz Cafe offers a wide variety of food. Most things I have gotten there were pretty good, the prices seem to be a little high though. They do have DELICIOUS rolls that they bring out with your drinks. They have good Grilled Chicken salads, hamburgers, Calabash Chicken, etc. The restaurant is usually fairly clean and the staff is friendly. more

  • Fatz Cafe, Famous & Fresh! Our World Famous Calabash chicken is synonymous with the Fatz Cafe name. Why? It's made the Fatz way – fresh chicken tenders, buttermilk brined for 24 hours, then hand-breaded with our top-secret peppery seasoning mix and lightly fried to a golden brown. You won't find a more delicious serving of chicken around. What about the Fresh? We're talking local and regional ingredients from farms across the Southland. Then we prepare each dish when customers order. And our portions will make you say…WOW
