Solid burgers and standout fried chicken sandwiches inside a lively taphouse; value is fair for Copenhagen, but service can feel transactional and waits run long at peak times.
Fatty's delivers solid neighborhood burger-bar appeal with strong food quality anchored by juicy cheeseburgers and a standout fried chicken sandwich, plus excellent craft beer access. However, inconsistent execution—occasional dry patties and wing quality variation—combined with notable peak-hour waits and uneven service attention prevent grade A territory. It's a worth-trying casual destination for burger-and-beer enthusiasts who can navigate timing and accept counter-service informality.
Inside the Bootleggers taproom, Fatty’s feels like a warm and bustling neighborhood hangout: pints clink, matches glow on screens, and trays of burgers thread through the crowd. One diner summed it up neatly: "Grab a beer, pick a seat, and let a properly made burger do the rest." However, expect counter-style service and peak-hour waits; the vibe is casual and sometimes brisk. The cooking is straightforward rather than showy: juicy cheeseburgers, a notably crisp and tender fried chicken sandwich, chunky fries, and a few pubby sides. Fans praise the balance of soft brioche, tangy pickles, and well-seasoned patties; detractors report occasional dry burgers or soggy wings, especially when it is slammed. If you like classic burger-joint comfort with a deep draft list steps away, this is your sweet spot. Families will find familiar flavors—burgers, fries, and a vegetarian mushroom option—but the bar setting and QR ordering can be less than ideal for small kids. There is no kids menu, sauces cost extra, and it gets crowded during games, so earlier visits or off-peak hours work best.
