Hold onto your bibs folks, because Fat Willy's Rib Shack makes short order out of southern cooking with its finger lickin’, smoky fare! From the baby back ribs to the brisket and right down to the pecan pie, everyone within whiff shot of this artery-clogging rib joint is sure to start salivating - the name says it all!

Right across from the large cineplex, Fat Willy’s invites its guests to savor in its variety of traditional southern favorites, like baked macaroni and cheese, vinegar coleslaw and pulled pork sandwiches, on top of the best beef brisket in town and yes, let's not forget about those ribs and tips! Of course, the foundation of any good barbeque is its sauce, and Fat Willy’s own concoction is no exception. Bottles of two coldsore aching varieties are available, with the hot sauce contained in the pancake house-style syrup bottle. Sop it up with their steak fries and Texas toast!

Sides abound and compliment entrees, like baked sweet potatoes, home made corn bread and roasted corn on the cob. For those looking for something a little more on the light side of things, their Roasted Veggie salad is fresh, flavorful and otherwise top notch, justifying its $14 price tag. And be sure to wash it all down with one of their famous Hogaritas or southern sweet tea.

The ambiance can be jarring for those who require quiet, personal space, as most of the indoor, cow hide patterned tables are pushed snugly together. The outdoor patio is probably better suited, but can also get vocal, due to its proximity to the lines forming from the theater. Unless it’s early, the place is usually hopping with couples and even families, making the decibel level rather high. Therefore, it is highly advised for those making it a dinner and movie night to choose a later film, since the small dining area can become quite busy and staff can sometimes be short handed.

So for those who want a great place to go and offer enormous portions, Fat Willy’s proves to be the ideal spot for great food and lots of fun!
