The restaurant specializes in decadent menu offerings such as fried appetizers, cheesesteaks, wings, deep-fried desserts and its signature “Fat Sandwiches,” like a Fat Doobue, which consists of chicken fingers, french fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks and honey mustard.
The restaurant is open Sunday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. and 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.
The chain was started in 2010 by owner Tom Armenti who would later move his operations to Fort Collins, Colorado — bringing his college friend Kevin Gabauer into the business around the same time, according to the company’s website.
