Fat Harry's

We watched the Super Bowl here. We didn’t care if the food was good. The most important thing was TVs and Eagle fans. Not only were there enough TVs and Eagle Fans, the staff was great and the food was really good. The wings had a combination of bbq and buffalo sauce, yum. The chicken quesadilla was juicy, tender and cheesy. The wedge salad had crispy fried onions which was an awesome addition. And the Turkey club was fresh Turkey and had a slice of cheese. Oh and and the homemade potato chips, wow.

Cheap beer and good food. My chicken club was solid, fried prickles hit the spot. Beer was cold.

Some of the BEST wings I’ve had in New Orleans, crispy and rich flavor sauce, corn dogs were good as well. Cheap drinks & cool bartenders, great place to hang out.

Awesome sliders and the loaded tots were soooo sinfully delicious! The homemade chips were thin and crispy! Great quick service and respectful of my allergies. Basically a nice sports bar with plenty of TV's and yummy food!

Cool old timey looking bar with great service. Had the Mac and cheese twice and it is the bomb. Homemade and rich with a lot of well, cheese. Can't go wrong there. They have some great specials. Drinks are adequately stiff.

I came in here for lunch and was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. I struck up a conversation with the lovely lady at the end of the bar that ended up being th me owner, Debbie. She was great. The food was delicious and staff was great, I’d highly recommend it.

Great bar with nice beer selection, friendly service and good food. Homemade chips are delicious.

Huge portions, great food! Only gave it four stars because the service wasn’t the best, but the food made up for it. Pictures are the cheese fries, and the le petite comb (two buffalo chicken sliders + chips). Sorry I didn’t take the good pic in the beginning! I was starving.

Been here twice - first time trying food - ordered buffalo wings, Korean chicken sandwich and cheesy tots. Order at the bar and take a seat! Bartenders are always friendly. Drinks are cold and the food is decent bar food. The wings were good - I like them (not breaded) tossed in buffalo sauce. The ranch and blue cheese are good too! Cheese tots were good when hot - when they cooled down it was a little hard to eat without a fork. Korean chicken sandwich was messy but really good. Would definitely order the sandwich and wings again.

I spent a Sunday at Fat Harry's in New Orleans watching the Bills game, excited to join other fans. Unfortunately, the setup felt cramped, with Bills fans limited to a "party room" rather than the whole bar. It also seemed like the place was short-staffed, with long wait times for food and drinks, and the main bartender wasn't particularly friendly, which didn't help the experience. On top of that, the projector displaying the game skipped every ten seconds, which made watching difficult. I was also hoping for Labatt Blue Light--a staple back in Buffalo--but they only had the heavier version. These small details took away from what could have been a fantastic game-day experience. However, I enjoyed socializing with other Bills fans, and the food was good. Overall, I'd rate this experience a two out of five. The good food and company were positives, but with better service and a more accommodating setup, this could have been a standout spot for Bills fans.

This is a great local bar to watch a game. - Great appetizers. I had mini buffalo sandwiches - our waitress did an awesome job - was there to watch UK play and they out a TV on it for me even though LSU was playing - Looks like a lot if locals and college students hang here - Touch Tunes available This is a great place to relax and watch a game just outside the French Quarter.

Fat Harry's would be the ideal neighborhood sports tavern if it didn't hire Mets fans to sling drinks. Kidding. The bartenders are great, baseball allegiances aside. The atmosphere too. The clientele comes from all walks--from college kids to middle aged business men to the Golden Girls generation. Furthermore, the chow is phenomenal. Fat Harry's wings can compete with any in the city, and the Korean fried chicken sandwich is clucking amazing (unlike the stupid Mets). Go Phillies.

Some of the BEST wings I've had in New Orleans, crispy and rich flavor sauce, corn dogs were good as well. Cheap drinks & cool bartenders, great place to hang out.

Bar/pub food and drink don't get any better than this long-time New Orleans fixture that has survived hurricanes, floods, and Covid with style and grace. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about the food and the alcoholic beverages. I have been there many times and always leave with a smile. Highly recommend to visitors and town folk alike!

Great sports bar on St. Charles in uptown. Staff is very friendly and they have pretty good food. The sliders are very good, especially the skirt steak. It's just a good neighborhood bar to stop and watch a game or grab a quick bite.

The best friendly neighborhood bar there is! To just hanging out and having drinks to placing to go orders more time than I can count. Fat Harry's is the friendliest neighborhood bar you could want to visit. Friendly from the moment you walk in. Beers, liquor, wine, everything you could want on top of a delicious food menu - give them a chance. You won't be disappointed. My favorite neighborhood bar.

Thank Christ, appearently all those assholes from 2021 have been fired. I rolled into Fat Harry's tonight for dinner and was delighted to hear some genuinely kick ass music from the 1970s and 1980s including Led Zeppelin, Billy Joel and The Allman Brothers. The food was great. It was a Tuesday, so domestic beers were just $2.00. The place was packed with fellow locals; there were tables of people in the back, playing cards. Oh, and everyone was singing along to the music. Seriously. I left a fat 20% tip for the bartender. I will be back often. Likely the shitheads who used to work there have found new careers with one of the airlines or working at the DMV.

Fat Harry's is a godsend for much of the year! 1. Right off the streetcar line, so it's an easy stop. Also lots of street parking nearby, so it's easy enough to drive there (season dependent) 2. At the corner towards the beginning of the parade route. Great place to get a wrist band to during Mardi Gras and go in for a drink or a rest stop. 3. The bar food is pretty solid. Nothing fancy, but it's flavorful and a good amount for the cost. You can't go wrong. 4. Trivia Night! So much fun to go for trivia and win illustrious prizes. Lots of reasons to go in, even more to return. Great staff, great fun!

My favorite Monday special. Half off pitchers and wings at Fat Harry's. Sorry for the terrible photos but I was having such an amazing time documenting came secondary. The classic buffalo is good but the Korean wings have a special place in my heart, a very wonderful and unique wing sauce. Other menu items are good too, great all around bar food with a diverse menu. I feel like it's rare a bar even has pitchers let alone a night with a pitcher special, good selection of drafts, the big names but also a good combination of ipas and sours; local, regional, and national craft breweries.

Great place to watch the Buffalo Bills game! (Even though there is no Buffalo Bills decor on walls there were at least 150 Bills fans) Upon entering the bar it looks small but when you go in there is actually a back room that has a lot more space and TVs. The bartenders are awesome! Food I had the chicken and pickle sliders they were ok the chicken was a bit smaller then the bun ( I took the top bun off and it was better) We also had the quesadilla it was so super greasy we didn't finish it. I would definitely recommend going in for a beer or drinks.

Best wings in NOLA. Service is pretty good and bartenders are attentive. It's got a cool dive bar feel to it and is great for watching sports events. Only thing I subtracted a star for is that sometimes it smells and looks gross in there, like spilled sticky drinks/beer that weren't cleaned up or something.

My boss wanted to go here while we were in NOLA and I'm thinking to myself "all the great food in this state and you want wings?". Well, these wings were amazing and well worth the visit. Place was clean, staff was friendly and the wings were tops!! I'll be back, great place!!

For a sports bar, this place is literally ideal! Great divey ambiance with tons of TVs, and they blast the main game audio do you know what's going on and can really get into it. Pls ty of searing and several bartenders. You order from the bar and take a number to your table if you order food-which is awesome by the way and highly recommend! We went for Monday night football and I will say the specials are clutch. Cheap pitchers, we got a pitcher (4 full pint glasses) of Abita amber for $6.75 (less than $2 a beer?!) For food, we got the wedge salad which was yummy and fresh with huge pieces of freshly cooked bacon pieces, and fried pickle chips to start (delish and tangy). Then we got the wings ($10 for 10 or $20 for 20 - favorite sauce was chef's special which was a bbq/Buffalo combo), and the slider combo with chips (fat's double was an awesome juicy cheesy mini double cheeseburger, the Korean chicken wasn't my favorite, and the chips while good were super thin so would prob just get the fries next time). Overall, great place for a casual day/evening and especially for watching sports. Will be back!

We came to Fat Harry's on the 4th of July as one of the only places that was open. We came during the Bud Light pitcher happy hour and also ordered food. Between us, we tried a bunch of things- cheese fries, corn dogs, sliders, chicken BLTs, and a burger. Honestly the highlight of mine was the homemade Bleu cheese and pitchers. We went with four starts because the food all came out at once and the bacon had an odd color to it. Overall, the food was fairly cheap and so were the drinks. It's a good spot to hit when you're in the market for bar food and an easy place to chill. It was fairly quiet and low key through the whole experience! Definitely will be back.

Grill closes at midnight. Bar tender was very apologetic, but I'm starving for late night eats.

The fry cook has a terrible attitude towards customers. And the bartenders will literally overcharge if they can get away with it. Worst experience I've ever had.

There was a football game in when I went, and it was very crowded. The wings were ok, but it took over half an hour to get an order to go.

Probably the worst bar meal I've ever had. Ordered to go, and usually if the bar is backed up, I'd figured they would say we aren't taking orders right now or it would be a long wait. No, she took my order and told me 20 mins. I got there exactly at 20 mins and proceeded to wait for another 20 mins. I swear they just took the fried pickles (and the oil it was fried in) and dumped it into the to-go container. The chicken sandwich was dry and our fries were freezing. I usually never give out bad bad reviews but even the service was poor. I had four boxes and she told me i had to take it like this because she didn't have bags. I know times are tough but they also had a FULL house. I rather them not take my order they make a poor one.

One of the best burgers in New Orleans! Great selection of beers, too. If you're looking for "atmosphere", this ain't the place. But tie burgers AND the fries are fabulous!

The wings are just how I like them, naked and extra crispy. They are simple buffalo wings, but highly recommended. Great selection of local beers on tap. Great atmosphere of local young and old. Yeet.

One of our favorite dive bars in New Orleans. Even during the pandemic, FH's is a cool spot. Can't sit at the bar, but they have plenty of tables inside, and there's outdoor seating right on St. Charles.

Shout out to Fat Harry's for all the love at parade time. So nice to get inside when it rains and have a bathroom( no portalets!) to use. They run a tight ship and it is always easy to get in and out. Got the bar down to a fine art. Never have to wait long for a refreshment. Don't forget to go in the back and get delicious parade food. Always our go to at Mardi Gras time.

Awesome atmosphere, great place to watch a game, and the burgers are awesome!! First time here but definitely will be back.

Wings were great. Good crispy outside but not overcooked. Burger was a bit over cooked but the flavor was solid. Chicken slider was decent as well.

For me to be writing this 1000 word essay on this beautiful Monday and being from New Orleans i must really feel some type of way about the shitty experience i had on Sunday. I have been to Fat Harry's many of times for a quick togo drink and never had a problem but yesterday (10/11) took the cake. We entered around 6pm and waited to be seated like the sign says. As we stood there a male bartender and female server looked at us and continued doing whatever task they was doing and finally came over. I was a little annoyed about how long it took to be acknowledged but its a bar that i have been to before and just took this incident for face value. The server told us to sit where ever we liked. I didn't want to take up the last 6top so we sat at the last 2top that was in a awkward spot. We eventually just moved to the side room that was empty but at least we had a huge projector screen to ourselves to watch part of the NBA finals. Another female server (thin with glasses) came over and took our drink order and delivered the drinks promptly. I asked for a menu but Fat Harry's is doing the QR code. After waiting 10-15 mins and no one came by my cousin asked where the server was so we could order food but i told him she's coming just give her some time. Side note: Im a server that has been in the Nola hospitality industry for over 10 years... I will always look the other way and take up for my fellow comrades no matter what because its in my blood. After waiting another 5 or so mins i finally got up and looked for someone. I saw some guy that looked like the manager sitting talking to our server ( her backed was towards me). I waived slowly to get his attention and he just slowly waived back. YEET!. I wasnt expecting that, it caught me off guard and it just got awkward real quick. As i walked away i heard him tell someone to come over to the table but at this point i was just ready to go somewhere else. The bartender came over and i just asked for the check. He tried to make small talk to get a feel for the situation but i wasnt working. The bill was $9.50 for two drinks and i wanted to not leave a tip but i couldnt... not even on my worst day so i left $1.50. As we walked out someone yelled "yall leaving? I guess im going to be the only black person in here.".......................... ................. .............. .... I *think* it was the bartender who said it, i never looked back to see who it was. It was also weird because we was the only African Americans in the establishment besides the cook. This situation just left a sour taste in my mouth and i will never come back because we have too many bars in Nola to deal with bs. Ill also post this on my facebook page and tell my friends to share it to make sure they put this current staff on notice.

If I didn't have a group that met here on Tuesday nights I definitely wouldn't hang out here. I think Ashleigh is the saving grace of this place. She's a very good bar tender, friendly and helpful. The menu here used to be pretty good but they shortened it up quite a bit. Fine, the food is just your typical bar food. Nothing special. The drink prices are very good except for when it comes around to a special event. What's the problem? New Orleans is now a non-smoking city inside places like this. When you open up all the doors up front and allow a dozen people to smoke a couple feet from your entrance it's the same thing as letting them smoke in the bar. The place fills with smoke. I go home with it all over me, I can't breathe at night and it's just not ok with me. Occasionally we'll ask them to close the doors and sometimes they'll comply but we shouldn't even have to ask. The mens room is really lousy. There's no stall door and no lock on the door to get in. The faucet has been broken for months and last night was stuck on hot and running all night. It would be great if they sold this place to someone who cared. They could do so much better than this with a small amount of effort.

Yay for Fat Harry's for feeding Touro's ICU while we are overwhelmed during this pandemic. Thank you so much for your support and love. Great jambalaya!

Wings were underwhelming. Well-cooked. Crispy on the outside and nice and tender on the inside. Not even close to spicy enough though, and I ordered buffalo as the sauce. Blue cheese and ranch both were quite watery as well Decent prices for beer $11 bud light pitcher on a Thursday night. Large venue and good spot to watch sports. Some limited outdoor seating

Fat Harry's has been around for as long as I can remember and it looks wonder after the fire. I can remember passing by this place as a student at De La Salle thinking, I can't wait I until I'm old enough to get into that place. Well I went to Howard in DC and found an alternative watering hole but Fat Harry's is a college bar and it's the place to be for parades. This is really nice bar. The drinks I had were great and the prices were reasonable. In the back room was a pool table, shuffle board, and video games. They also offer burger, fries and wings. The crowd in the bar tends to be in its early to mid twenties. The bar is large and spacious.

Absolute hands down my favorite bar in New Orleans! Being from up north I need to find a place that has NHL coverage and they sure do. A lot of people stop in from all over the place. Great location right on the street car line. During Mardi Gras they remove the tables and chairs to make it easier for customers to get drinks, use the bathroom and get back to the parade route. Excellent bartenders and even better food. There isn't much 8 wouldn't recommend on their menu. Awesome bar food that doesn't make you feel like you just ate a mess of greasy bar food. Must check it out!

Great bar! Good service. Good patrons. Always always say yes to the wings! My favorite is the BBQ. My friend loves the cheese stix and always a must for her.

I've been going here for years. The beer is very much beer and it brings back memories coming here.

I love this place! The bartenders are fantastic, the food is delicious, and they play University of Kentucky games in NOLA. Be sure to get Fats Mac N Cheese, you will leave fat and happy for sure. Patrons are mostly locals and everyone is willing to offer a tourist advice on what to eat next. We were here during St. Patrick's Day weekend and despite having a crown everyone was having a great time. One of my new favorite NOLA places!

Fantastic uptown neighborhood bar. Lots of different choices for beer and cocktails. Super friendly staff. Korean BBQ chicken wings are tasty. The home made chips go great with crispy chicken sliders. Mac and cheese is home cheesy good times.

A great bar to watch sports on tv,fabulous food options and full service bar. My favorite go to foods is the wings! I think they are the best in the city hands down. The staff are quick, and attentive and it's always a good time.

Amazing bar! It has been my local bar for years. The food and staff are amazing! They have great happy hour specials and the best wings in the city! I think they have been incredible at keeping the bar safe and clean during these times!

$10.25 THREE SLIDER COMBO WITH FRIES! That's cheaper than Burger King! And even though the biscuits are a bit too KFC-ish they do toast them. Of the 6 or so varieties I recommend the Cajun which is a sausage burger with pickles and grilled onions, the Korean Chicken (ask for pickles), and the Breakfast with fried egg bacon and cheese. I always choose the fries over the chips.

Awful service. Waitress refused to change the tv to the NFL game I requested be put on. On a tv that nobody was watching. Baffling to me

I have lived within walking distance to Fat Harry's for five years and I have visited this watering hole sporadically over that time, but on my last visit it has shoot up the pole to one of my new favorite places to watch sports. Recently the bar subscribed to the NHL hockey package. This is hard to find elsewhere Uptown, the places that used to go have it canceled there subscribed so this discovery comes at a great time. Other perks include been on the St. Charles Streetcar line, a large rotation local draft brews, tasty bar food, a happening jukebox, and friendly staff. I'd classify this as a neighborhood/college bar most nights. Weekday nights aren't too crowded easy to grab a spot at the bar and get the game of your choice on a TV. The weekends are crowded expect a party vibe then.

Yes, Fat Harry's is a dive bar. A dive bar with a good beer selection, better than average bar food, and a choice location on St. Charles. I'm there most Tuesday nights, as our euchre card game krewe meets there. The bar is very long, so a good spot to watch a game. Drink prices are competitive, although I noticed prices were higher around Mardi Gras, so I'm not sure if they just don't offer the same happy hour specials when business is hot, or what. On cool nights, they leave the door open, so the smokers outside might as well be inside.

Here we definitely have a college bar. So you know what's coming next: it's definitely not going to ever be a part of the Joi B bar crawl. BUT! It is a notch above the TJ Quills of the college bar mundo. Let's rewind, oh, five years (or maybe more, sigh) back to when I was a Midori sour-drinking college girl, I'd totally bring my parents here to drink with me. I realize the fact that I was once the type who ordered Midori sours may give you pause, 'specially if you read about all my fancy cocktail drinking ways, but it's true. We can't all be *born* with good taste. I was once an NYU girl (which is probably similar to a Tulane girl, only with a snottier attitude and a penchant for staying out all night in underground nightclubs) and wet behind the ears. You couldn't order wine coolers in bars back in those days, so... Midori. And Fuzzy Navels. God help me. OK that's quite enough stumbling down memory lane. Getting back to the compliment I'm trying to give Fat Harry's, grown-ups can and do seem to rub elbows with the young 'uns here. And it's not weird. I saw folks of all ages and those who seemed to be parental types, hanging out and having a good time. The ambiance: TVs everywhere, wood paneling, basic basic. Nice front patio, though. Nothing memorable. But it's clean. And not full of classless dolts taking a piss with the door open, so at least there's that!

Fat Harry's was one of the first bars I got a drink at, underage, a long time ago during Mardi Gras. I ordered a Long Island Iced Tea, 'cause I heard they'd get me drunk...ended up drinking two and falling through the seats where the booth ends and the next one begins... Fast forward to now and after the fire renovations, I still have friends that like to head over to Fat's for a couple of drinks. I miss the old booths because you could hide in them and have a little of your own space. The bouncers are always nice, and sometimes I enjoy watching the underage girls stomp and throw fits around them when they're fakes aren't accepted. The crowd is mostly younger college kids just going to have a drink and meet up though you'll get the occasional group of late 20-early 30somethings and a couple or two in their 40s remembering the days of yore at Fat's. I know I go to a lot of bars with a younger crowd, so it's judge-y for me to call Fat's out for it, but there's no dancing and I don't get cheap drinks, so it's hard for me to stick around Fat's too long though some nights, it works. There cheese fries weren't anything to write home about, but their wings are pretty tasty! If you've got a krewe and you're in the area, grab a seat out front, enjoy a couple of beers and watch the streetcars go by.

We are in from out of town. Walked in and sat down and no one ever came to the table to take our order or anything so we walked out. Two employees/managers (unsure what their titles were) were chit chatting with another table and never even acknowledged we were there. Would not recommend. 0 stars for hospitality !!'

Fat Harry's isn't a bad little place. We stopped in here on Lundi Gras after parades. They recently had a fire and redid the entire place, although it really doesn't look all that different to me. By the time we got here, it was pretty empty. I guess the usual crowd had better things to do after the parade. I did have a good time dancing around to the music that was playing. This probably isn't a place I would seek out. From what I remember from years ago it's mostly a college hang out and these days I am just too old to hang out with people under 23 (hair flip). I do hear that their grill is reopening soon, so maybe I will stop in just to see what they offer.

I spent many a night in Fat Harry's during my formative years. One of my distant cousins used to work the door and always made sure we had the hookup. I miss those days. Fast forward to adulthood and I am amazed that I hadn't been back in forever. I must've forgotten about it until reading about the fire that gutted the inside. Thankfully the owners renovated the inside and got it back open for Carnival. While it isn't exactly as I remembered, it was still fun. There was no food or tables, but the atmosphere and crowd were just as I had remembered. Fat Harry's will always hold a place near to my heart. I look forward to many more trips, and I can't wait till they reopen the kitchen.

Definitely our favorite bar in the city! The food is amazing and the staff is even better. Always friendly and fun to be around. Don't miss out on this hidden gem!

Even in college, I never hung out at FH. Sure I'd stop in when other folks wanted to but it wasn't my regular spot. But I have to give it to the owners. They are survivors. The joint burns? They rebuild. The construction next door causes them damage? They fix it. They're like the energizer bunny of bars. They just keep going. To me the best time to stop by is for happy hour on a pretty day and sit outside with a beverage and some cheese fries. +1 star for coming back from their latest setback and opening (bar only) in time for the carnival season.
