When you retrieve your meal you discover that Daddy isn’t fat for nothing. The smallest burger is a third of a pound, served on a bun that swallows it. Everything is self—serve here, you put all the toppings on yourself except for the fried onions and melted cheese stuff, which costs extra. The huge burger is juicy and cooked to order. but you’re better off avoiding the onions and cheese stuff (I have to call it “cheese stuff” because it doesn't resemble cheese very much). The onion rings, served in a huge pile, have just enough batter to make them onion rings without turning them into onion flavored bread. At Fat Daddy's you‘ll be treated to and charged for more food than you can eat, but at least the burger will taste good.
