Having dined at many Fatburger restaurants in Las Vegas and Southern Cali, I was pleased to see that Willie had brought one to the Cinci area. As usual, the food was great. The only thing that I have ever found at any Fatburger franchise that is somewhat detrimental is that the cook at some outlets tends to smash and overcook the burger so as to squeeze out the juice and toughen up the meat. As I said, it is the cook, not the product. Should you be lucky enough to find a Fatbuger grilled corectly, it is one of the finest around. Please cooks, take heed!! Don't ruin a fine product. Take the time to grill the burger slowly, don.t smash the goodness out of it!! That aside I give my Fatburger a 7.5 out of what was a possible 8.5 to 9 if grilled correctly.

I could not be happier! Fatburger reminds me of In n Out burger on the west coast - it's major competitor in California. I just love something about how they wrap most but not the whole burger with paper - as if the burger is exploding from the packaging, coming at you, enticing you to get to eating. Fresh, made-to-order burger, grilled perfectly, great skinny fries. So good. I get it to go. Only other comment is: not a big fan of the atmosphere - not a lot of personality really. Music was way too loud.
