Slow service / Poor food Quality

Went for lunch, not the best service at all. Waited 10+ mins for a drink order....Was on lunch so was limited for time. we had to wait about 50 mins for our food to come out. The food seemed rushed and the quality is not what i was expecting. Would NOT go back.

Went here for UFC a couple weekends ago, and I really like this place. TVs right in the booths, the sliders were awesome and our server was one of the best servers I've encountered at a pub! Never had to do the look around "haven't seen my server in half an hour...should I get up and go to the bar myself?".I will be back!
The only thing they are lacking is a selling point, like a theme or... more

I had to come back in and adjust my review. I took off a star and was hesitant to take off 2 stars. FATS has recently changed their menu and removed most of their pizza selections. They used to have many unique pizza choices and now are down to just a few of the standards. They got rid of the "hero" pizza which was one of the main reasons I used to come here all the time. They also got rid of... more

I've been here twice because both times I was in the area for an event.

Service is fine, selection is fine....the place is a bit dumpy. Got parking in the lot both times - even though it's small.

I would go back, but I don't think I'd eat there or anything.

A small sports bar with plenty of TVs, tableside windows that open up to the outside, and a crowd of rambuncious regulars. I was drawn in after many years' absence by the road sign promising new drink and food specials. Thursday all wines (10 to choose from) are $5, and small two topping pizzas are $7. The small is enough to fill any normal human being, so it's a great deal. Not only that, it's... more

I had been hearing for months how great FATS was, and since it's right across the street from Another Dimension (one of the best comic shops in Calgary) me and some buddies decided to stop by after some nerding out to grab some lunch.

In retrospect, after looking over some of the other reviews, I wish I'd tried the pizza, but everything I did experience seemed rather ho-hum. The wings were... more

Curiosity more than anything is what brought hubs & I in here after trying to get into 2 Diners mid Saturday afternoon and finding line ups (ugh). Having to pick up kids from play dates at preset times....we didn't have time to wait anywhere. So curiosity and perhaps the great reviews on their pizza landed us at FATS.

Parking was easy and no line ups. Spectacular. In we walked, received a menu... more

Since when is 5 people a Large party!???.... We had a horrible experience here recently. We were charged 15% gratuity for 5 people! Not to mention half of us just ordered a drink and starter.... I ordered a simple veggie try, it came soggy and warm. Pretty sure it sat under the heat lamp... Gross!
My friend ordered creamy tomato soup, looked, smelled and tasted like a can of hot tomato paste!... more

First things first, the food is delicious! The service was not promising, initially, but quickly improved. It isn't too expensive overall either. I had a burger with smoked bacon and cheese. Burgers are pretty much binary in my opinion. They are either awful or fantastic, and in this case it was the latter. My fiancee had a First Date Pizza, which was very good. A word to the wise though, do... more

Food: 4/5
Service: 3/5
Ambiance: 3.5/5
Overall experience: 4/5

(1- Terrible; 3- decent; 5- Fantastic)

I give this 4 stars because they really do have the BEST pizza in town! For the best deal, go on Monday for half-price pizzas. You can get a large for about $10 (that is the half-price) and unless you are two really hungry men, it is enough for 3-4 people to share. They always come out hot... more

I was actually impressed with the service and food at FATS. A bunch of friends were here for a UFC fight night on Saturday. And though I am not a fan of UFC, the menu selection was really great. I had the steak bites for $12, which come with veggies and dip. I also had the spinach salad with cranberries and almonds with the house dressing.

The steak was really good. It was cooked well and came... more

I admit. I'm a pizza snob.

When my friends suggest a new place ...I whine. No lie.

So when my cousins suggested pizza at FATS...I was not ready nor willing. The big baby I am.

Well...dang...their pizza friggen rocks. We had the "first date" pizza. It was delish! Fair warning, it has a ton of roasted garlic on it (yumm) so really, don't eat it unless your prepared for the... more

Tonight I have been calling this business for 25 mins straight every min or more and getting a busy signal. I'm getting beyond p@!%!d off. There is no reason a single business in the city should have a busy signal for more than a min. I gave up calling after two hours of a bust signal and once I had food from somewhere else.

On top of this every single time I have ordered from here they have... more

Passable sport bar food. Three-star food. But if you are advertising a CFL match, the volume would be appreciated over Nickelwhatever. I will try again next year just to see if I can catch CFL there... more

I rarely eat in at FATS however it always seems clean and friendly inside, it's more of a sports pub which does not appeal to me at all however my husband and I frequent it on a weekly basis for takeout.

The burgers are absolutely delicious and they have a 2 for 1 burger deal on Sunday's (you have to dine in though). I have sampled several things off the menu including the salads and can say... more

My friend and I stumbled across F.A.T.S (FYI it stands for Fifth Avenue Tenth Street) one night when we were looking for something close to home and to our delight it was "Name that Tune" industry night! Emerging a few hours later having been trounced, we vowed to return and avenge our loss. We have been back 4 times since then and sadly "Name that Tune" has been canceled due to Hockey and... more

FATS is my local and I consider myself very lucky to have somewhere with such a great atmosphere and great food too boot so close to me. Their pizza is amazing, it's the deep dish chicago style so if you're more into italian thin crust you'll be disappointed. I like both styles but then I just love food :). They do a wicked G&T here and if you think how can anyone mess up a G&T believe me... more

Too loud,toomany tvs,and slow service

Pizza was great.
Staff was friendly.
Great place to go after work to sip a beer and share a pizza with your friends.

Note, if you only enjoy thin crust pizza topped with fresh basil and fresh mozzarella, you might want to reconsider.

A great casual place to hang out. I'll give it 3.5 stars to be exact.

One of the worst pub experiences I've had.
The owner is arrogant, offensive and condescending, the atmosphere was awful for a friday night... there were all of 3 people sitting in the corner, apparently friends of the owner reliving highschool house parties before they go home to their parents' basements. There was even a lonely DJ they hired who used to spin at junior high school dances, and... more

I'm officially a big fan of this bar. At first glance, it really isn't anything special, and their choice of advertising is sometimes a bit trashy. But beyond all of that, it's a quality bar. The food is fantastic, especially their homemade pizzas which they are well known for.
The beer selection on-tap isn't huge, but you'll be able to find something you like. They also have Schooners, which... more

I wandered in late in the evening on a Wednesday. First thing I noticed was that I'm about 15 years too old to fit in. That's not a knock, I'm just pointing out that the crowd was under 35. It was a raucous place - loud conversations and about 10 TVs showing sports shows. It felt cozy for a sports bar which I liked. The decor was very modern though, it almost looked like it was a converted... more

There are things about FATS that I love. Also, things that I hate. Let's start with the things I love. I love their TVs, I love their staff, I love their pizza, I love their draft .. this is rhyming, time to stop.

Putting aside price, which I generally avoid looking at whenever I leave the house, FATS is a really fun little sports bar. I know some people won't like me calling it "little", but... more

Yes, they are "expensive". But everything in Canada is expensive. It's all a rip off up here. But, when curved, their food is on par. $18 for a large pizza that feeds 3. And the thing is, their pizza doesn't suck. It's frickin' amazing. So really, it's "a good value". But..

I've been coming here since this place was a third of the size and called "Red Onion Pub". It was a dive. It was... more

FATS is a little expensive, but definitely worth it. Their food is served quickly and it is delicious. The menu offers what you'd normally expect at a pub, mixed with other metro-Canadian cuisine and a few veggie dishes. They serve frothy cold draught beer by the pint (which are, also, a little pricey), but the service is brilliant -- friendly and fast.

The decor is nice as well, in a relaxed... more
