Fat Shack
Fat Shack is a quick service restaurant serving Fat Sandwiches, burgers, wings, appetizers, desserts, and hot and cold beverages, with dine-in, takeout, and delivery service. We focus on late-night food service, and our restaurants are typically located on or near college campuses where customers want convenient meals after traditional dining hours. Our locations are usually small retail spaces with casual seating and a local college-themed atmosphere. Some locations also serve beer and wine, depending on local approvals. We operate a fast-paced restaurant model built around made-to-order food, extended hours, and delivery-focused service.
