Fat Willy’s

I really wish this place would go out of business so a new bar could move in. Owners here are rude, servers act depressed and soooo over worked boo hoo. And food is absolutely sickening gross, undercooked.

When we moved to the neighborhood we saw Fat Willys and just knew it was going to be our new «spot». I really tried to like the place because frankly there’s not much to chose from! Sadly, the servers there are always miserable and if anything goes wrong with the food the managers are defensive and are not equip to handle a customer complaint. My husband and I ordered 2 meals to share and after one bite of the wrap my husband said «omg the tortilla tastes like fish». I absolutely hate seafood so this smell is very pungent to me. I took one whiff and felt ill. We told the server something wasn’t right with it and the manager came over and argued that there’s no way that fish could get on the wrap. Unfortunately for him we have both been in the industry for over 17 years. I could see the whole thing play out in my mind. Cook cuts up fish for a meal and then rolls up our wrap on the same board. So gross. Another day I ordered a salad that was listed to have 2 different fruits, crutons, cheese and dressing. I literally was served a plate of lettuce and cheese with no dressing and she walked away before I could stop laughing to ask where my salad was? They ended up being out of all fruit and crutons and I paid full price for lettuce and cheese. I have had some good food here so I give 2 stars. My biggest issue is the unfriendly servers.
Tried it out again. I guess we are gluttons for punishment. Again with an unfriendly bartender. Seems the customers are an annoyance to your wait staff. The burger was pretty good actually but then we decided to try the new cheesecake crumbles dessert. We paid our tab while waiting on the dessert and after 15 mins I asked her to box it because we had to leave and she decided she would just bring it out not boxed. We asked for a box to do it ourselves and as I was boxing it there were approximately 6 full size stale as shit graham crackers with a tablespoon of what appeared to be a cheese flavored pudding with a crap ton of nasty raspberry syrup. We threw it right in the trash. My husband and I continue to leave 20% tips for the staff hoping we can brighten a servers day because it must suck to work there.

I have always been greeted with a smile and if I didn’t know the server an introduction is always offered. Friendly service and great prices. Lots of TV sets and a great place to watch the game, any game, just ask. Food quality can vary but in my opinion it’s on part with the competition in the area, I have never left dissatisfied and the staff strives to keep it that way. I think this is a great pub for many reasons, too many of us have unreasonable expectations as every experience must exceed the last. This is a real sports grill with real people making it work and a friendly place to spend some time. A local favorite.

Just took my family of four here for a casual dinner. Not our first time here — more like probably our twelfth, but this time was different. We all enjoyed our food, it tasted fine, like always. We’re all very glad we have four toilets in our house, because each and every one of us is violently ill with explosive diarrhea. This is pure misery. I’m typing this review on my iPhone, sitting on the toilet. Never again, Fat Willy’s. NEVER AGAIN!

We are new to the area and really wanted a place we could hang and drink and stumble home. The three times we were here, servers/​bartenders had no personality and service is mediocre. Last time we visited was on NFL first Sunday game and bartender had ZERO personality. We at least expected a smile, or «hello, how are you» but got nothing! We assumed one had to be a local and tried to talk to the bartender and again she was so abrupt to do other things than build a server-​customer relation. We would have mentioned to the bar manager the disappointing service but he was too busy drinking and being obnoxious. Not worth the time or money to return. Would rather take our business and money to another place and Über it back. Don’t waste money here unless you enjoy crappy service and being ignored by service staff! Future «Bar Rescue» site???

This place as gone way down hill since our last visit… We wont be back. First thing they might try is getting a waitress with a personality, not a snarl on her face for having to work on Saturday morning. She provided the very very basics, we had to ask for everything else. As for the food, my daughter in law is still in bed due to he horrible eggs benedict. All of our meals looked like they had been sitting under the heat lamp waiting for the waitress to serve them way to long. The ground beef in the omelet looked like it was cooked days ago and warmed up on the griddle. Overall, a disappointing experience.

This place was good a few years back. It has since lost it’s taste and atmosphere. Still pretty good if you’re looking to have a casual drink but in terms of food, not so much. I used to come all the time for happy hour and order off that section of the menu, but the chicken wings have gone down in quality and no longer hold the same taste. The same can be said about the quesadilla and burgers. The $ 5 burgers should be $ 5 as they are not of good quality anymore. I’ve seen the employees walk in with groceries from the nearby Bashas store and it disappoints me. But then again, we all run out at some point right? My last time there, our waiter took forever to deliver our ice cream dessert. Not good.

My wife and I stopped on Monday for the burger deal — a discount off the regular prices, down to only $ 6.00 with fries when you buy a beverage. Great size burgers with awesome flavor combinations. I had the Black & Bleu which was a blackened burger with bleu cheese melted on top. Excellent. My wife had the Port Wine burger, which for you Wisconsin folks, is a Merkt’s Port Wine cheese spread across the top. This is a great flavor mixture. Burgers are grilled to your order request (we had medium) and are nice and juicy. This is a great place to relax with a tall beer while watching sports available on the numerous TVs throughout. Stop at Fat Willy’s !!!

This place is unbelievable! Between the snotty servers and the food Its horrible! I have been to other locations and this one needs an attitude adjustment. They need to fire the current servers and bartenders and this is will begin the facelift.

We live close to here and like to come for happy hour from time to time. It’s your typical sports bar but the food is decent and the drink specials are good. If you’re looking for a good happy hour spot with a sports bar feel then this is a nice place.

Dangerous!!!
Our meal was so so, had to send back the margarita, and we ordered lemon pepper wings that had virtually no lemon pepper on them.
When we ordered dessert, I asked if the brownie had nuts, the server said «I’m not sure, but I know for sure the blonde brownie doesn’t». I said sure. It came out with a scoop of ice cream covering the whole thing so I couldn’t see that it was filled with huge walnut chunks. I took one bite, started to react and went to the bar to get water. As we are trying desperately to get out of there so I can get some benadryl, my dad has to stay behind to pay the bill. They took off my dessert that I couldn’t eat and my mom’s dessert. That was it.
Very scary for a nut allergy to be told that something for sure doesn’t have nuts. My dad sent an email right when we got home and we haven’t heard anything back.
We absolutely won’t return and it’s doubtful any of our friends will either.

Visiting town and needed WiFi and lunch, wow — what a find! I came on Monday, not knowing it’s $ 5 Burger so why not. They have about 8 to choose from and all of them looked great, but what would you get for $ 5?
How about a California Burger, ½# juicy loaded with guac and all the toppings — had to share before I left the place. Saw a ton of burgers being served and it’s mid-​afternoon, but staff is very friendly and everything is fresh.
Tues — kids free
Wed — 60 cent wings
Thur — Happy Hour 2 – 7 and 10 to close
Fri — Fish Fry
I’ll be back!

FREAKIN LOVE THIS PLACE. $ 5 burgers on Mondays. Bomb breakfast skillets. Good happy hour prices. And very friendly staff. Place looks a little dirty but all the food I’ve ordered is tasty. Their southwestern egg rolls taste fresh. Pretzel bites are soft and wings are tasty. The «bruschetta» is kind of a joke though. It’s just super buttered slice of white bread with tomatoes on it. But the rest of the appetizers are good.
They have amazing Pizza however.
Place is small and gets crowded at times. But they have fun events including trivia and karaōke on certain days.
And plenty of TV’s to watch the game too.
And the hidden treat, they have really good desserts. Soft hot brownies and these little fried rolls with ice cream and caramel.

Service is terrible. Rude staff. Hey bartender, maybe check the patio once in awhile?

Came here for breakfast. Dad told me that the breakfast is rockin’. However when my food came out to me it was cold… I ordered the biscuits and gravy expecting it to be better than what I can make at home. It was so cold that I had a film over the gravy, so when I told my server who was super nice and great, she brought it back to the cook. Now, what you’re supposed to do is give the customer an entirely new plate. I was given back the same plate with cold eggs burnt bacon and the same biscuits and gravy with just more hot gravy poured on top, which of course just cooled the new gravy. I would suggest not coming here if you’re looking for that meal. And to watch out for cold food that is not properly given back to you.
The two stars they have goes to the service. You guys are the meat and potatoes of this joint and you rock. The cooks… not so much.

The first time we tried the restaurant was on a Saturday at lunch and the patio hadn’t been cleaned from Friday night with dishes still on the tables. The happy hour beer selection is excellent and the pizza is pretty good but unfortunately, they failed our number one bar food test, the nacho test! Their nachos are quite possibly the worst we’ve ever had. Don’t be fooled by the ‘queso’ description on the menu, the queso is simply a small lump of slightly warmed cheese sauce plunked on top of a bowl of cold dry chips and completely flavorless ground beef.
Lastly, we are big fans of eating outdoors this time of year and but unfortunately, the small patio is used as the smoking section for the restaurant so it is thick with cigarette smoke making it a nasty experience.
Because the servers are always pleasant and the happy hour beer prices are good we may be back for a beer, but it won’t be the local dinner spot we’d hoped it would be.

Went on Sunday, 2 football games on TV. One being a Arizona cardinals game.
Place was half full… why? The food was terrible. Example, jalapeño poppers made with red peppers and the dip was sweet and sour sauce. Not very appetizing!
Good thing happy hour is seven days a week, but don’t go if you are hungry

2^nd visit to this establishment… ordered the pot roast sandwich. The bread was dripping in grease. The «chunks» of pot roast in the sandwich were huge. too big even for a man. So I took them out to cut them up. Had to saw thru them with the regular knife, there was so much fat and gristle, eek! was horrible. The waitress had no emotions whatsoever, she never came back to table after we were served. When she came to bring the check I told her about the pot roast and showed her the huge inedible pieces with fat and gristle. She grabbed the check off the table and left. She came back about 5 min. later and «slapped» the check down and walked away, not even a word. We found that my entrée had been removed.
Also…I will never go back just because of the dirt we noted on the window sills and blinds, they were filthy!!!

Not all that impressive, as it approaches dive-​bar status without having any of the charm and personality of a dive bar. About the best that can be said of it is that if you just want to get sloshed at happy hour with your friends while watching sports, it’s probably cheap and easy to do so.
The beer selection is pretty poor, and it should be a crime to have Guinness on tap without the bartender knowing how to draw a proper pint. They come out with either ½ of head or 7 inches of head. Blech.
The biggest issue I noted is that everything is pretty dirty. They brought us to a table that hadn’t been wiped down, and then pulled the trick where they ask you to sit down and then proceed to wipe all the debris off the table, half of which falls in your lap. The seats and other things in the bar are in dire need of a deep cleaning.
Despite cheap beer and decent service, you just don’t want to sit and drink very long in a dirty establishment.

Pretty good food for a sports bar. Excellent happy hour from 2 – 7 everyday! $ 2-​$ 3 draft beers and $ 3 Smirnoff Jack and Bacardi.
