Great for the serious beer lover

by jboxton

You can't beat the beer selection in this bar. They have a lot of great beers on tap and even collaborate with Rogue to do their own. Problem is there are a lot of blacks and kiikes that go here. Try their wings, they are incredible.

• Pros: Great beer selection
• Cons: A lot of blacks go here

The best WINGS in the nation! ...so far

by fuzzy67

First let me give you my qualifications. I am in sales and travel ALL over the US. (in search of wings, in my spare time). I have been to Anchor Bar & Duff's. Fat Head's wins - hands down. They are big, meaty and the original is a great well-rounded sauce. Get them grilled for a nice added kick. The cheddar-jalapeno is a must for non-purists! PS, the beer selection is unmatched! Great atmosphere.

PS - no chains or breading - ugh!

• Pros: Phenomenal selection, biggest wings, great taste!
• Cons: not close to home

Everything is better in the burgh

by sneek

From the moment you walk in you cant stop smiling ,The thing that made it the best was the workers they have fun thelittle guy on the grill was getting crushed and singing and dancing, They joke with you at the counter and make you really feel like a regular.Althogh it was packed my Food was quick delicious and the price for the area was not at all unreasonabl.You can watch them prepare your food from start to finish.The chilli cheese fries are to die for.They have a steak called THE YINZER which is loaded with onions,green pepper,bannana peppers,mushroom,and toped with lettuce and tomatos.They even offered to wrap what i dont finish most places hand you a box.The decor of the place is relax,trully a great spot to eat.Way to bring a philly favorite to the burgh.

• Pros: steak and beer one stop shop!!!!!!
• Cons: there should be more

Read this before you go to Fat Heads

by Atrain03

TGIFatheads...OK people..here's the issue...Fatheads has fantastic food if you can forgo any type of customer services or friendliness. Have you ever gone into Fatheads when there is more than 50 people in the place? (which is about 90% of the time). The hosts, bartenders, and waitstaff are just miserable people. I actually had a hostess roll her eyes at me and sigh when I requested she had a chair to my table for a last minute add on. I mean I've already waited 1 hour to get a table and she wants to put me back on the list because..well..i'm not sure why.. I was never given a valid reason. It was something like oh the waitress cannot get to the table if you add a chair..WHAT?.. Another time, I was sitting in the bar area. My waiter had been absent for about 10 minutes and there were about 10 people in the whole place.. I went to the bartender, requested a drink, and was told to go back to my table and wait for the waiter... WHAT?... It is unfortunate because I remember moving to the South Side in 1997 and Fatheads was a dive hole-in-the-wall bar with great food and great people.. now it's commercialized and it seems that Fatheads doesn't care about customers..why should they because they are jam packed all the time... Well, I'll tell you why you should.. because I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had the unfortunate experience of interacting with waitstaff, bartenders, and hosts who are cleary irritated by patrons and have treated patrons like they are a complete burden.. um..hello..you are working at one of the busiest restaurants in the most trendy area of town on a Saturday night... GET OVER IT!... So, I'm begging the powers that be at Fatheads to please educate the faces of your company on being decent human beings with understanding and patience... so I don't have to officially boycott you and start a movement of F*ck Fatheads... .. go to City Grill it's better...

• Pros: Food & Beers
• Cons: Service

Awesome Sandwiches and service

by EastportO

Stopped by Fatheads after a wedding in downtown Pitt. Heard about their legendary sandwiches from a family member and decided to make the trip over to the southside. Had some of the original wings to start and and the Jacko steak headwich. My sister got the slopes sandwich, and man was that thing huge. We finished a half each along with the delicious homemade potato chips... and we ate the rest on our trip back to long island. Our server was on top of everything from the minute we got there. From what I could tell that place is run pretty well.

Worth the trip

• Pros: Good wings and cold beers
• Cons: Not too healthy...but who cares

Quite Probably the WORST MEAL EXPERIENCE in PA

by JSieverts

The kitchen got an order wrong TWICE, nothing was done to apologize or ameliorate the situation, and management NEVER responded when I attempted to contact them after the fact. They obviously DO NOT CARE AT ALL ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. Avoid this place like the plague, unless you like being treated terribly and overcharged.

• Cons: Lousy service, and management that doesn't care

tastiest burgers ever!

by psenevir

any toppings you get with their juicy beef patties will satisfy your burger craving. in addition there is a very good beer selection to go with your tasty burger. most of the beers are brewed in-house.

• Cons: place can get crowded very quickly

best sandwiches on the planet, and a must-eat wing night

by redsoxvinny

The "Headwiches" are ridonkulous. I had "The Bender": keilbasa, fried egg, provalone, crumbled hot sausage, fried onionstrings, roasted red peppers, wing sauce, and pepper mayo .. ARE YOU KIDDING!! This sandwich changed my life and ruined all other future sandwiches for me ... My eyes rolled in the back of my head, the great potato strings/fries wre a superb compliment, and there are about a billion great ales and brews to choose from. In a town with some great sandwich joints, this is by far the best!

Also, go on Wing Night (Mondays) for 25-cent wings ... they have over a dozen sauces, but the Original and the Carribean Killer are the best.

Fatheads, you are my new religion!!

• Pros: giant, creative, delicious sandwiches; Monday Wing Night
• Cons: bad for dieters and people who like to eat neatly

Best hugh sandwiches

by woodman1313

Really great that the place has gone non-smoking. We all can breathe a sigh of relief. Good place to meet and great food. I highly recommend any of the fathead sandwiches, if you have a big appetite. My favoite is the Old Timer, love the anchovies. Very casual but only has one draw back, pretty noisy, but that is my opinion. Once you go there, you will definitely go back
