This delightful neighborhood spot with outdoor seating has delicious food options. My 10 year-old and I enjoyed a lunch stop here while biking to the Audubon Zoo.
I heard that Chicago knows how to make a great sandwich, they did not disappoint. I give FBP five stars for a few reasons such as its diversity in menu choices. Lobster roll (not sushi), old school burgers are order two for yourself kind of place. The freshness of the food also gets high marks. Follow that up with a homemade scoop of Italian style ice cream and you are set for satisfaction. Great hours also. enjoy!
The juices are made fresh and taste delicious! Sandwiches are also very good here too. Definitely recommend!
I came across this restaurant on google looking for a late night meal after driving into New Orleans. I kept looking at the lobster poboy and wondering is this really worth 25$?Let me tell you it’s worth the 25$!!! Its been a month and i’m still thinking about how delicious that poboy was! I’d come right back again and spend that money! Delicious😋😋😋 (step sons face says it all)
Delicious, hot & well seasoned sandwiches!! The best Philly Steak sandwich I’ve ever had! Melt in your mouth steak, perfectly caramelized onions, the cheese was cheesy goodness, so creamy! Soft toasted bread and the perfect pepper!! The Fried Lobster was just as great with that remoulade!! Amazing flavors, sandwiches made perfect! I’ll be craving these sandwiches until I can get another one!!! Thank you Fat Boy Pantry
The guy working the grill knocked my sandwich out the park. Great sauce, good portion of meat. Fries are really good. One guy was there to get my coffee which seemed kind of unfair to the other guy. After he got my coffee, he just went back to watching the game and the place is kind of small so hes just right there and the other guy really hustled. Guess i was the only one in there though.
The staff were very kind and the food was great, had the Havana sandwich which was great, but their fries were on another level. Think of five guy fries thickness but perfectly fried and crispy on the outside while fluffy on the inside. The Havana was stuffed full of meat and was nice and hot, and will definitely come back the next time Im in New Orleans.
Really good! Havana sandwich is two 👍
While some part of me like the loud post-collegiate stoner vibe, I was disappointed in variations in the quality of their products, I ordered two affogato desserts (espresso w gelato), and one of them was watered down drip coffee, while the other was properly done I would describe the whole operation as sophomoric at best, or maybe their staff needs to be a little less stoned
Went here for a quick bite and ended up being blown away!!! definitely come with an empty stomach. everything was so fresh and flavorful, the homemade ice cream hit the spot after! would go back to NOLA just for this place.
We loved everything we had Delicious food and coffee. Great customer service as well.
So dang good. Very friendly staff, amazing cream cheese ice cream, and the best lobster po boy in New Orleans!!! From scratch fries too! Definitely a stop if you are in the garden district.
My first time here I had the green smoothie with a splash of gin. That was AWESOME!Im giving them 5-stars for the atmosphere and the staff. Great conversation with the staff.Ill be back and definitely referring everyone I know.
Place is out of the tourist area but highly recommended. The lobster po boy was excellent. Lobster was fresh and butter melted in your mouth. You cant get food this good in the French district. Take a walk and eat a real sandwich.
We really liked the shakes and food was good and I really like the fresh cut French fries.
Hooley Dooley! Great place for a quick bite. No fuss, quality food.
The food was really good. I got the lobster poboy and was blindsided when I paid. It was $25 for the sandwich alone!
The burgers are great. My kids loved them. The sloppy joe was awesome. The homemade ice cream is delicious and the fresh squeezed juice was refreshing. All the guys there are real friendly and helpful.
Nice employees. Amazing hand cut fries. What’s not to love?
I got the sloppy joe because the guy at the counter recommended it. It was decent, but wasnt anything extraordinary. Way too expensive for what it is.
If you are trying to enjoy Fat boy pantry on Tuesday or Thursday and you are using Apple’s Map or fat boy pantry’s website for business hours those sites are currently incorrect. The hours may change but as of right now google has the business hours correct.
Had the lobster po-boy, while it was pricey it was well worth the price with the quality ingredients they used! Best po-boy i had in New Orleans!
The food was great! We weren’t expecting the lack of kindness from the staff. Not even a hello! With that I wanted to leave, but we had walked a ways! Also they didn’t have a working bathroom. Is that even allowed? The seating outside was dangerous. They set up their tables on the busy street. It was hard to relax with cars racing toward you. Would not recommend mainly because of the terrible service.
Amazing milkshakes! Super friendly staff. Im regretting waiting so long to try this place.
I had the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich which was very good. The hashbrowns are amazing as well. My son tried the homemade oreo and chocolate chip ice cookie ice cream and he said it was the best!
Amazing food! Great service! I highly recommend trying this place out!
Fantastic food, great atmosphere. Workers and owner were super cool
Delicious ice cream with unique flavors! If they have the King Cake flavor, you must try it!
Cleanest kitchen I’ve seen yet, amazing service, and completely blown away by the food.
This place is amazing. The caramel ice cream was just unbelievable. I couldnt even wait to snap this pic. There are also a few odd ball flavors that are also worth trying. I sampled the pear and Gorgonzola cheese ice cream and is surprised the hell outta me. The Cuban sandwich and fries were great too.
Great sandwiches - recommend the Havana. Nice service, will definitely come again!
Had a great time at fat boys and the food was wonderful we be returning
Best Cubano sandwich Ive ever had. The fries are fantastic too.
The owner of this place is sexist and rude af. I got a new phone number yesterday and I guess it was one of his employees before but he wont stop calling me at midnight and is threating me. This behavior is appalling and this business should be canceled.
OMG... Lobster PoBoy. Ill pay market price for this any day. Even the Philly poBoy was good. But again, did I mention the lobster. The delicate lobster is fried and placed on heavenly bread where it is coated with what I assume to be secret sauce from the secret sauce society rated 10/10 first place champions 10 years in a row. This sauce Id eat on its own. Then its all wrapped together, Im sure its some wrapping technique only employed by the sandwich gods, then cut in half and then handed to you in a conspicuous paper bag. I recommend eating this with a beer or cider and just enjoying all of it.
This place is great; the owner remembered me and made suggestions on what I might like.
Food was delicious. Got take out twice months ago and the service was very good. The most recent time they were very rude. Different people serving and was like pulling teeth to talk to them or put in an order. Was so bad we’re not planning on going back or recommending to anyone.
Wonderful service. Nice ice cream place that stays open late.
Great ice cream, super nice staff. Will be going back to try the sandwiches!
Great food. Great atmosphere.
Absolutely obsessed with the lobster po-boy. Worth the price and the calories. Side effect: might slap ya mama
The fried shrimp and lobster poboy at fatboy is by far the best poboy i have ever had. the sauce is nothing to scoff at, but the fried shrimp and lobster make the sandwich. so juicy, tender, and well prepared. if you are in the new orleans area, u have to try this place.
Never purchased anything. We went to dinner and wanted to to get ice cream after our meal. After doing a Google search we found this place, which was within walking distance of where we ate at. We walked to the place and waited for someone to take our order. After a few minutes someone informed us that they would be out of ice cream until Friday. Would have been nice to have a sign posted..
Hey.I recommend everyone to not come here. Because the owner of this store are very dishonest and rude. They don’t keep their word and promises. When you are an owner, you should def treat your employees right and with respect as same as you treat your customers. Because your business won’t work and won’t profit if the employees don’t work for you. So, they hired my partner to work for them and promised that he will have a weekly salary and it turned out that they went to giving it as a monthly salary. At that point, they didn’t keep their word regarding the hours and salary. And now, because of the pandemic, we needed to leave and move out of state because we got evicted and deeply affected of the crisis. My partner already gave them a notice that he will leave the job and he can’t make it to work because we were busy packing our stuff. And they just told they will send the last paycheck to the new address. So he sent them the address where they will send it, and he kept on calling them how many time since we moved for about a month now but they’re not pickin up the phone, and not responding to text messages. One person even blocked him. This is so wrong and rude when person worked for you, you have to pay for the hours and time and effort he put for it. I think its about $600-$700 is the money they owe to him but they didn’t care at all. We need the money for fresh start and my partner worked for those hours and days for them but they just ignored it. Its not right. And its rude.So beware. Don’t come there are other stores in Nola that you can try of . Not this.
Disgraceful establishment and will not be back. Rude owners and highly overpriced. Heard one making derogatory remarks about other ethnicities. Asked about a former employee that worked there too and they pretended she never existed. Scowled at me until I left right after that.
We are from Cali and a friend of mine that lives locally brought us here. We had the fried lobster po boy and it was frickin amazing. Highly recommend
Absolutely wonderful customer service.Google said they were open late. I called and the gentleman was almost finished up closing, and said they were closed but he could sell me some ice cream. He did. It was great. Made my night.
The food is great....just really, really good sandwiches you cant get anywhere else. Fried lobster tail po-boy. Really. Greek sandwiches with lamb and feta, awesome breakfast sandwiches. Philly cheese steaks that are seriously real South Philly. Also, an espresso selection, unique smoothies, a great ice cream selection, even craft beers. All they lack is a notary public service or a watch repair kiosk. We love this place!
Soo good I had the Philly super yummy kinda tasted like a delicious late night burger. Will definitely return.
This is Definitely my new go to spot for icecream. I got the Oreo cookie and cream and my son got the King Cake....both were so amazing. The service is also great. I called ahead to see what flavors they had and they let me know they would be bringing more flavors out in an hour or so. When I got there the flavors werent ready yet but the employee/manager went to the back to scoop so for us anyway. Also they were out of cones so my son got an extra scoop for free. I cant wait to go back!
All I have to say is- LOBSTER POBOY! My girlfriend and I were in town and randomly found this place. She ordered a few things for us- my favorite being the poboy (make sure to add bacon!) the burger was also tasty. Everything was definitely handmade and fresh. Thumbs up!
We really enjoyed their ice cream. Nice price and flavors. :)
New to the hood. Great burger, made while I waited. Be sure and be hungry! Fries were also wonderful. Will be back, especially for ice cream.
Just found this place while walking and decided to pop in. The service here is exemplary, and the ice cream is incredible. Absolutely recommend to anyone looking for some really nice snacks.
Awesome little neighborhood coffee & sandwich shop. A steady stream of locals and regulars stopped by while we were there, very friendly. Everyone in our group loved their flavorful food and was amazed by the variety if offerings and very fair prices. We started with espresso & latte & sodas & beers then ordered the gyro, philly cheese steak, cubano, good old hamburger & a deep fried New England Lobster sandwich, all were quickly made, fresh and delicious. Oh yes, I should mention everything comes with a generous mound of crispy, delicious hand cut fries. If you have room for desert, which a few of us couldnt resist trying, the ice creams are made on site and they are creamy, flavorful & delicious! Please go for breakfast, lunch or dinner, youll be going back soon too.
Great ice cream. it is fluffy
The food was decent but WAY overpriced for the quality you get. And the vibe there is really bad. Like I got the feeling they didnt want me in there.
Great sandwich & fries. Couldnt eat the whole thing. Had to try ice cream & it was delish. The cute little ice cream spoons change color when cold. Love it!
It unlocked a childhood memory. The fried lobster Po-boy is absolutely amazing. Highly recommended.
Owners steal tips from employees. Do not come here.
Best lobster poboy ever!
Food is good, great options, the girl hannah is single handedly running the place and cooking- with grace...give that girl a raise!
Let me begin by saying I’ve never left a bad review in my life (check my history).So I called in for a takeout milkshake. I was told it would be ready in 10 minutes. I waited outside of the restaurant and entered after 15 minutes. I was wearing a mask. Not a single employee was wearing a mask. They asked what I needed and I told them that I ordered a milkshake over the phone. They were super rude and only then began making the milkshake. There was literally no one in the store. I was handed my $8 undersized and watery milkshake and I left a $3 tip and wasn’t even told thank you. As I left I heard someone snark about my wearing a mask.This place is trash.
Delicious, decedent sandwiches and boutique full-fat ice cream. The fried potato slices are addictive. Highly recommend! Its worth finding this place.
Awesome place, great food!
This unique sandwich shop is a must-go for people traveling around NOLA. They have freshly squeezed juices, a variety of hand-scooped ice cream, really good coffee, bottled/canned beer, and solid sandwiches that come with thick French fries. The staff was friendly and quick. They surely dont spare anything on the portion sizes.I got their special: wild boar Sloppy Joe with pickled onions and an espresso BBQ sauce. I also got a hot coffee that wasnt too acidic or bitter.
Great coffee and good food. Staff is really nice minus the guy that works in the evening. The asian fellow was very rude.
Great food, location, staff and price...
I didnt know what to expect, but the food is beyond excellent. Very well worth the price. Great atmosphere and style, however my only complaint is that the logs they use as chairs (also pretty cool) are a few inches too short of the average relationship between a table and chair. But I guess it gets you closer to the food. Im looking forward to going back to the Fat Boy Pantry soon.
The fried lobster Poboy was good but not worth $30.Liked the kings cake ice cream.Service was friendly.
One of the most amazing places weve been to in NOLA! We are from Oklahoma and here on a wedding trip. The owner was there helping the staff and they all gave us places to visit. The food and service was superb! Definitely a place to stop in and enjoy the atmosphere.
Fantastic, handmade food at a really good price. Each sandwich is wrapped in a bag and has some of the best thick-cut fries Ive ever had, and the ice cream is great (and handmade!) too. The dining setting is as unique as it is distinct, with clean tables and a friendly staff.Since the food is made per order, theres a bit of a wait, but you can watch the food be prepped if you want to and its never been inconvenient or too long for the food presented. I cant recommend it enough, for both locals and tourists alike!
Favorite sandwich shop in NOLA - definitely get the fries any Style. Dog treats available for your pup!
