Fat Man's Bar B Que - Cropwell, Alabama

James Watt

We had a wonderful dinner at Fat Man's BBQ. My wife had to take me home in a wheelbarrow, haha; it's true to the name, I guess.

They have counter service and then you pick up your food when they call the number. They do not normally accept tips, so the price is the actual price here. That was something I haven't experienced in a while. The lady working the counter was very nice and helpful, even though I took a long time picking what I wanted from the menu (since I wanted everything).

The wings were A+. The best fried buffalo wings I've had in Alabama. They are cut & fried naked and tossed in a tangy mild buffalo sauce. Reminded me of back home.

Everything was delicious. The ribs pulled right off the bone. The pulled pork was so tender; you know it had to have smoked for hours and hours. The mac & cheese was so delicious, I couldn't stop eating it, which is how I ended up in this food coma.

This place is a real treat. I hope you check it out!

Best BBQ place ever. Love it!! They are very friendly! Prices are good not over priced at all. Definitely worth every penny they fill your plate up

After a very long wait to get my food (around 30 minutes), the bbq pork was room temperature, the top of the mac and cheese was room temperature but the bottom was warm (no idea how that is done). The only food that was warm was the baked beans. This was my first and last time going here. Not worth the time or money.

Stopped in here on my travels for lunch and decided to give them a whirl. It's a walk up counter style of ordering, no table service. They did have quite a few things to choose from on their menu. I got the pulled Pork plate, pork had a good smokey flavor to them and they gave you a ample amount. Also, they gave me a bun in case I wanted to make a sandwich. I ordered baked beans and mac & cheese as sides. The Mac & cheese was cheesy, but not creamy cheesy, they were okay. The baked beans had pulled Pork meat in them, yet, they just tasted like they were missing something and just needed some help to tantalize your taste buds, not the worst, yet not the best i ever had. The sweet tea is sweet and has a moderate tea flavor. The atmosphere was very neat and clean, lots of parking out front, give it a try, maybe they'll adjust their beans and mac & cheese.

We heard good things about this place and we're really excited to try it. The Lady working the counter was not the friendliest to start with.The food is good, but not more than average. I assume there's only one choice of bbq sauce, because we weren't asked what kind we'd like, and i thought it was ketchup when I tasted it. Again, the food is good, just like any other bbq joint.

Fresh food, great service, sparkling clean. Update: Very busy, clean, delicious food and worth the short wait. Highly recommend Fatman's. UPDATE: it's just not possible to improve on what they have at Fat Man's. Smiling, Southern hospitality and that BBQ, amazing! Always a great visit with clean lobby, tables, floors and rest rooms.

We had to wait a bit on the food but as they say good things come to those who have to wait. And oh my it was delicious ! Some of the best bbq I’ve had .

Ordered $120 take out order for the fourth of July. Realized 2 hours later at the lake, that a $4.25 order of pickles was left out, let it go until I went back in today the 10th of July, mentioned to the cashier, she was hateful and had rather loose a customer than make a mistake right. I usually go there two times a week, but will go somewhere else where they value their customers.
