This is one of my favorite hamburger chains. It's across from Pasadena City College and like Five Guys you get to customize it your way. I got an Original Fat Burger 7.00 and a side of Fat Fries 3.50 and it was delicious! Tastes like restaurant quality from a fast casual place. Staff is friendly and free parking in back lot

As good a burger as I have had anywhere. I got the XXL Combo with cheese. It was over 17.00 after tax. It comes with a giant burger (1 pound ?), fat fries and a drink. The fries could have been warmer but were decent. I found the cashier difficult to hear given that there was loud music playing and we were both wearing masks. Overall my food was delicious.

First time trying Fatburger and it was surprisingly quite good. I got a large fatburger and it was an actually quite hefty. The skinny fries are really good, on par with McDonald’s fries which are the best. The burger toppings are definitely maxed out, probably should have gotten a double patty to make the proportions better. Interior is very clean and the staff are great and very friendly.
