What Ida Adams doesn't like about Fat Dan's Deli:
The food is just ok nothing special. The fries have a claim that they are The best in the Universe . If you make a claim then you need to back it up. Lets just say still raw potatoes no crispy fries just soggy and raw. Like a flash fry. The Chicago dog does not have that snap like a good Chicago dog should have. Not the best Chicago dog just an ok one. View all feedback. What Barbara Martinez likes about Fat Dan's Deli:

Fat Dan's is a sports-themed pub that offers a mix of culinary experiences. While some reviewers were disappointed with the uncooked burgers, soggy fries, and subpar Chicago dogs, others found delight in the smoked Reubens and wings. The positive comments highlighted the friendly service, family-friendly atmosphere, and delicious burgers with fast service. Overall, the restaurant is praised for its laid-back vibe, reliable food quality, and welcoming environment, making it a gem and staple in the Sobro area that fans of sports pubs and casual dining establishments should consider visiting.
