Fatback’s

Went for lunch since I had signed up for the text alerts and got one today for $ 5 lunch drink included. Can’t beat it! Had the BBQ pork sandwich with potato salad. Delish! Loved it. Every last bite. Got the house BBQ sauce which was awesome. Highly recommend.

Been here last two days, the burgers are really good and cheap. Bartenders are great and very accommodating. Stopped here on a Friday and their takeout orders were nonstop for BBQ, so that means a lot in the south.

The wings are juicy falling off the bone. Try the fried potato chips outrageous. A local friend can’t wait to come back for more yummy wings. Mike Bryan has friendly staff.
I can’t wait to go back.

Pretty freaking great! Potato salad was great. Pulled pork sandwich was great. Baked beans were great.

I grew up down here in south Alabama. I know good BBQ. At least I thought I did until Fatbacks opened.
Their pepper jelly pork sandwich is one of the best things I’ve ever tasted.
It’s got pork and bacon. Two different kinds of pig!

Friendly staff with quick service.
Clean environment.
Got the BBQ sandwich and side of potato salad. The BBQ was too dry for my taste but douching in the accompanying sauce made it alright. Was pleasantly surprised by the size of the side dish tho.
BF got the pork on a cow burger, one of their specialty, which was basically just pulled pork on top of a burger. Nothing extraordinary about it, but the size was good.
They’ve got some good drink specials for $ 5, but I didn’t indulge in any, so I can’t much about that

Okay — I think I have found my favorite burger ever. It was THAT good. I had the yummy pimento burger cooked perfectly. Fries were outstanding — real fries. I do agree with the other reviewers that they absolutely need to have condiments on the table. We had to ask twice for ketchup and mustard. If you don’t want to have it on the table then at least ask the patrons if they would like condiments rather than them having to ask. We didn’t have barbecue sauce but I agree — if you want extra, the restaurant owners should not nickel and dime their patrons. Because honestly, the restaurant business is very competitive and if you piss someone off over a quarter, they are not as likely to return. Penny wise and dollar foolish. No excuses.
Travis, our waiter, was very entertaining and we enjoyed him.

My visit to Fatback’s of Dothan was underwhelming. I was very disappointed, unimpressed and underwhelmed and will probably never be back. I actually thought about trying to sell my other voucher to a patron so I wouldn’t have to come back nor lose my money. The person seating us was friendly, our hostess was somewhere between «okay friendly» to «not that friendly» (not rude either, thought). I had the BBQ sandwich and my wife had the salad (and added the pork… FOUR DOLLARS… REALLY???). What put the nail in the coffin for me though was when I asked for a little extra BBQ sauce on the side. «That’ll be extra». Excuse me? «That’ll be extra». How much? «I think about .49 cents». That’s okay. just bring me what comes with/​on it.
Folks.we live in DOTHAN, AL… the SOUTH. Remember? Hospitality. NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE, in Dothan charges their patrons EXTRA for their BBQ sauce. It wasn’t the .49 cents for the little 2 oz. cup that was the point. The issue was the «chinchy-​ness» of wanting to charge me for something that was hardly enough to cover the meat to start with.
Anyway, good luck «the​bigDdeal​.com» on your sales of their vouchers. For me, I’ll be putting my hard earned cash towards Gulfside Seafood Grill, Mama Goldberg’s and others.
As for the other reviews: Yes, Kelli S they DO need to have condiments on the table; Yes Chris B. I, too, will never be back (after I use my last voucher, that is) and regarding «smothering it with bbq sauce… how did you do that without paying a lot extra???

It was ok. I ordered the pork on a cow burger and the bbq pork was very bland by itself, I had to smother it with bbq sause. The bun was also right on the edge if being stale. I had the baked mac and cheese as a side. It was about tye same quality as what you would get from the frozen food section.
The fries were actually really good, I recommend those. Other than that I have no desire to return.

Lunch was pretty good, but I was more expensive than it was worth. Not my favorite, but a big selection of burgers.

Great food!!! Good prices. good drink prices. Nice people… great place to watch the game.

When I walked in, this place had the correct smell of a true BBQ joint. A very good sign. The nose knows. There were plenty of people in there which was another good sign.
I had the pulled pork sandwich with fries. Initially the meat had a burnt acrid flavor. I discovered that the bun that had been burnt black on a small section and that had given the meat that flavor. Otherwise the rest of the meat was fine. It had a decent smoke flavor and was juicy, but not overly so. I had the spicy sauce on the side not on the meat. The sauce was a tomato base with lots of black pepper which kicked it up a notch and muted the sweetness of the tomato. There was a little vinegar in it that gave it some tang. The fries were a little soggy and limp. Decent flavor though.
I’ll give Fatbacks another try on a different night to see if things improve.
