Fat Mo’s

The best burger I ever had, _​fried mushrooms delish. My granddaughter had grilled chicken and onion rings. Everything was perfect. I will Deffinatly be back

Called in order Friday night. Arrived approx 10 minutes later and food wasn’t ready. No problem, I just sat and waited. The place was busy so it was fine. Ten minutes or so later I see what appears to be my order sitting on a counter in the kitchen and ask one of the men working (older gentleman) to see if that was my food. He said no it was not. Ten minutes go by and now people that arrived after me are getting their food. Now I am frustrated and ask how people that show up after me get their food when mine was called in before I arrived. I once again direct him to the food sitting on the counter. He checks again and says «sorry» that is your food. Frustrated, I let him know I am not happy because I asked him about that specific food over 10 minutes earlier. No cussing on my part or screaming. Just let him know I wasn’t happy.
As I walked out the door I looked over my shoulder and saw and heard a younger person working the counter make a comment regarding me. Don’t know exactly what was said but since they both looked over directly at me, I knew it was regarding our exchange.
As the door closed I said screw you. Not F*** you but simply screw you. Door was closed and they couldn’t hear me but young man working counter knew I said something and chased me into the parking lot. He started screaming F this and F that and to say what I said to his face. So I did. Then he screamed and cussed some more because I was calm about it. Go figure. He then told me «Get the f*** out of here because I will f**** you up»
Crazy exchange to be cussed and threatened like that. Needless to say I won’t be back.

Amazing place! A Nashville area staple. You haven’t completed your Nashville trip if you haven’t had a Fat Mo. Hands down the best burger I’ve ever had. Location is a bit divey, but it just shows that they focus on the food and don’t need «pretty» advertising placards to keep the locals coming. The service is what I would call «serious focus.»

Love this burger! If you want a burger that is like your backyard cookout, go here. I get the Little Mo burger, because the regular Mo is too much food with all the fries. And the seasoned fries are so good, you will not want to skip them. It’s all cooked fresh, so sometimes it can take a minute. But well worth the wait!

Good food! Catfish sandwich is awesome, burgers and great and the Philly is mighty fine as well. But my hands down favorite thing here is the onion rings!
The guys here are always nice and friendly.

I’ve been going to the Fat Mo’s locations all over Middle Tennessee for over ten years. It’s amazing.

I discovered this little joint very shortly after moving to Murfreesboro for uni. You certainly wouldn’t expect much from the looks of it: it has a pretty standard fast-​food-​burger-​joint feel to it, and is beginning to look a wee bit dated on the interior. HOWEVER! Folks, you can’t judge a book-​burger by its cover, but instead by its contents: and Fat Mo’s contents are ready to give you cardiac arrest from the most delicious burgers ever.
My first visit was before my veg-​head days, so for me an order typically consisted of a Little Mo with a side of spicy fries. Not only is the Little Mo still pretty dang big as far as burgers go, but dang. That is one seriously good burger. You can expect any Fat Mo burger you order to be a decadently messy affair – be sure to stock up on the napkins before you settle. ;) It’s also worth mention that Fat Mo’s offers shakes as well: if you’re feeling particularly gluttonous, I swear, a burger and shake combo is the best thing ever.
Luckily for me, it was shortly after I became vegetarian that Fat Mo’s out of the blue whipped out what is probably my FAVORITE veggie burger of all time. It’s a mysterious concoction of chickpeas, zucchini, lentils, and magic – oh my glob. Now that I live abroad, I seriously have dreams about Fat Mo’s veggie burgers and spicy fries. I still haven’t found anything that fills that hole in my burger-​heart since!
It’s also worth mention that the gents who work at Fat Mo’s are really nice, and if you go enough you can expect a wee bit of chat and them to remember your face in the future. All in all, I stinkin’ LOVE Fat Mo’s. Open up a branch abroad, for the love of God, I need a fix!

Not even sure what the haters on here are thinking. This is by far the best burger in all of Murfreesboro. Better even than… dare I say it… Five Guys.
I LOVE FAT MO’S. Especially when you combine that great seasoned burger with the cajun/​seasoned fries… Epic meal. EPIC.
Can’t wait to go again.

The seasoned fries here are my favorite in town. The burgers are very good too. I always get a little mo which always is the perfect amount for me. My family loves this place.

They have the best Borger in Murfreesboro. Also the stuff are nice and friendly. I always get #2.

Heard this place was great. Walked in and the place is old an not the cleanest. Orders a burger and season fries. My burger was not great but the fries were ok. Overall I would not go back. The burger was something I could have made at home but only my burger would have tasted better.

Back in April, I heard about fat mo’s from my boss who boasted «top 3 veggie burgers i’ve ever had.» I went to a nashville location and ordered a veggie burger with mayo, lettuce, and tomato and an order of spicy fries. I have to say that I strongly disagree about the veggie burger… I love all kinds of foods but this didn’t taste like a veggie burger to me at all. More like hummus or falafel (which I love both), but it didn’t mix well with regular «burger» toppings. Having said that, the fries were awesome. Not spicy at all, but crispy and great.
Fast forward to today, a coworker was eating lunch and it smelled awesome so I asked him what he was having. He told me it was the catfish sandwich from fat mo’s and it was one of his favorite fish sandwiches. Here we go again. Well, I wanted to give this place another shot (I don’t eat any meat other than fish) because the fries were enough to bring me back for more and I didn’t know they had a fish sandwich. I knew my husband would want to try it as well so I waited until I got back to murfreesboro and went to this location.
I ordered 2 catfish sandwich combos with spicy fries. The guy taking my order asked what all i would like on the sandwiches so I asked him what normally comes on them. He said a bunch of toppings so fast that I didn’t even get them all. Normally I wouldn’t choose 50 toppings for a catfish sandwich but I threw caution to the wind and told him to put all of it on both sandwiches. I immediately regretted saying that because I got nervous they would taste horrible. After a short wait for fresh cooked food, I drove home and we ate. First of all, the piece of catfish was HUGE. Probably 2x the size of the bun, which was also huge. Secondly, I retract my hesitation about the toppings. YUM. I could be leaving something out but I think it had ketchup, mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and hot sauce. I feel like he said one more (maybe tartar sauce) but either way that was the way to go! The fish was crispy and spicy and all of the toppings went together with the fish really well.
Personally I would rate 2 stars for the veggie burger and 4 for the fries and catfish sandwich.

I have been wanting to try this place for months, largely because of the need to find a great burger place in Murfreesboro and the positive reviews posted here on Unilocal.
I ordered a #3 combo, which comes with a drink, double cheeseburger, and my choice of fries or onion rings. I chose the seasoned fries and a chocolate shake to drink for a total of about $ 11.
After approximately 20 minutes of waiting, my food arrived. I quickly realized that the place was way over-​hyped. My chocolate shake tasted like a poor attempt at a Wendy’s frosty. The seasoned fries were clearly formerly frozen «zesties» and my burger was two patties of dry char, much smaller in size than the massive bun they were served on.
As for service, it was pretty rough. The young man providing service for the front of the house spent way too much time on his cell-​phone to even attempt to make me feel like a valued customer.
I will not be back.
tl:dr: Ignore the positve reviews and go somewhere else instead. This place is not worth your money or time.

I’ve never been disappointed by a Fat Mo’s burger and this is my usual location to get my fix. Burgers are always well seasoned and the fries are pretty awesome. Prices are affordable and there’s a good variety on the menu. Dine in, take out or drive thru are all pretty quick with good service and the only real downside is the location. If Memorial Boulevard traffic is crazy, it’s easier to go down a few side roads to get to a red light. All locations I’ve been to have been consistent with both service and food so it’s definitely my go to burger place.

This is my guiltiest pleasure… ron b. thinks it’s all fat and fillers and their kitchen is gross… i would like to respond by saying… who cares!!! whether it’s angus beef or pink slime… it’s delicious… if i wanted grass fed beef i’d go pay $ 12 somewhere for it and get 2500 jesus points… but once a week i shun my creator and i go to fat mo’s to punish my insides… and it’s sooooo worth it
this burger is greasy and delicious… the fries are crispy and tasty… there is literally nothing wrong with this sandwich…
the guys who work there are all immigrants and they are awesome… this whole small restaurant chain is a 20 year old american dream success story and i don’t feel bad stuffing 1000 calories down my gullet once a week in the name of small business…

You people have no idea what your eating. There patty has 0 meat. It’s all fat and fillers.
Absolutely NOTHING is made from scratch. Everything is frozen or from a can.
Also the conditions of there kitchens is horrible. Many health violations there.

Good food. Friendly service. A bit pricey but food made to order. I love the fried mushrooms!

Good food. Best burger I’ve had in a long time! Ill be back for sure!

Went for lunch today and was reminded once again of how a hamburger is supposed to taste. Large, meaty patty, freshly cooked, with your choice of basic toppings. A side of freshly cooked, seasoned fries. Lots o’ ketchup.
The owners are cool, the TV has ESPN on, and this is where I first heard about Pete Carroll abandoning USC for the NFL. Of course, a five-​year contract at $ 7 million per year doesn’t hurt…

Size does matter and Fat Mo’s has their Super Deluxe Burger weighing in at 27oz. of fresh beef cooked to order, and that’s just down right huge!
We were having new tires put on the van at Tire World next door and couldn’t resist… In addition to the Fat Mo’s Burger (½lb), I tried the spicy fries and a delicious strawberry/​banana malted. Everything was excellent, it was an awesome lunch.
