Southern comfort food, honey butter biscuits, chicken & waffles





























"If you’re having a dumpster fire of a day, go to Fat’s. And even if you’re not, let’s pretend that you’re really torn up about your Roomba accidentally hurling itself down your stairs. Hennessy-infused butter is one of the better waffle toppings we’ve tried, and Fat’s is where to find it. Both the butter and a stack of waffles taste really good with the herby fried chicken, but make sure you order at least one thing with andouille gravy." - aimee rizzo, lidiya belete, kayla sager riley
"Brunch can be a way to enjoy something you might not have every morning, like crusty herb-loaded fried chicken on top of thin waffles slathered in Hennessy-infused butter. That’s why we love Fat’s in the Central District. There’s something about the way that their sweet syrup swirls with bits of fallen breading and a bracing cognac bite that just improves a Saturday or Sunday. Reserve the sad bowlful of stale cereal for Monday through Friday." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"The stars at this Central District favorite are the honey butter chicken biscuit sandwich and the restaurant’s namesake sampler, with two pieces of chicken served alongside fried green tomatoes, cheese grits, and garlic toast. Brunch is popular and the restaurant can feel hectic, but the warm service and fantastic food are worth it." - Sophie Grossman

Fat’s is open for takeout, and dine-in service includes its enormously popular brunch." - Jade Yamazaki Stewart

"Step 1: Leave your sweatpants on. Step 2: Roll up to Fat’s. Step 3: Get some herby fried chicken and waffles, and don’t be shy with the Hennesy-infused butter. Step 4: Chase it with some spiked coffee. And, if you can’t get past Step 1, the chicken stays crisp in transit if you order it for delivery." - aimee rizzo
