Great bar food selection with a few diner favorites thrown in for good measure. Delicious, too.Wonderful venue for live music. Few in the DFW area are better.Worth the trip from west Ft. Worth.

Well, live music and a mostly middle-age crowd, that pretty much all act/appear to be law abiding citizens? I’m not saying leave your doors unlocked in the parking lot. But a group of ladies or a family could go here and feel safe. We stayed for about 4 hours and didn’t spot a single creeper. Not sure about you, but that seems worthy to include in a review.

I liked that my favorite band was playing, but they charged $15 cover charge I got there at 10:30 they did not tell me the club shuts down at midnight. I got ripped on that, not happy!! Bar food was so-so, Ive had better times there.

I came in today, Sunday, to watch the Chicago bears game. There was one other guest at the bar and one guest on the patio. I asked the bartender if they could put the sound on for the bears game because they were only playing music. She asked the manager and she said not till the cowboys game. I left after the 1st quarter. If the bar was busy I could understand but they were empty. I won’t be coming back. Guess they don’t care about customer satisfaction when all there signs say keep us open by ordering food. Maybe they deserve to stay closed.

To whomever was at the Velcro Pygmies show tonight (11/14/2020) and damaged my wheelchair ramp. Thanks for showing support for the band, but usually you at least leave a note when you hit a vehicle. I am disabled, and so grateful that you ran over my wheelchair ramp. Im glad you enjoyed yourself, but drunk or not man up! I am on a limited budget, and really appreciate the added expense. By the way, the show was great as usual.

I was definitely not impressed with the food or drinks here. First, I order the chicken strip with fries. The chicken was limp and almost bendable and the fries were no better. Second, the drink selection (craft beer or otherwise) was very lacking. They had two single malt scotches (Glenfiddich 12 and Glenlivet 12) and 1 local craft beer (blood and honey). The venue for music was really good and our server was super nice, but the lack of food and drink is a deal breaker for me. Music should be secondary to the food and drink.

Place had barely a handfull of people, all the staff was chatting it up showing off halloween costumes having a great time. 4 different staff made eye contact never once greeted us. Sat ourselves. 2 more passed us made eye contact and NOT ONCE said a word. Couldnt even get a glass of water. So we get up and leave 2 of the staff just stare at us as we leave....not a word. Pathetic!

Review №14

Our waitress was EXTREMELY RUDE!! My hamburger steak came out bloody. All three of my Friends got their food at least 5 minutes before I did and mine was still undercooked. When the manager came to our table he just took my raw food away and didnt even offer to make it right!! When we got our check my food that wasnt eaten was still on there and the waitress tried to snatch my husbands Credit Card, saying she would fix the charges at the register. When I refused to pay until she fixed my check she walked off mumbling under her breath. Then when I left a VERY minimal tip she made a BIG deal out of it and showed all the staff.. We WILL NOT be returning and we will tell ALL of our Friends..

Took a little bit longer to get a drink another table that was a regular there had to flag down a server so they would stop and get our order. I get it after the shut down its hard to get back into the flow of things but still kinda bad when you waited 10 minutes just to order a drink and another table has to tell a server that we waited so long. After that the service was on time before my glass was empty she would walk by and ask us if we wanted another round or if we needed anything else. She earned her tips that night just wish the tables would get attention a bit faster since i use to do that job I know how first impressions will be.

Subpar. Came in after a long road trip to grab a burger and watch game 6 of the NBA Finals. Waited for 20 minutes with no server coming to my table. Multiple severs passed by and looked at our table that had not yet been served and then just left. I like the concept of the restaurant but the service is horrible. Wont be going back unless the service is improved.

Never have I been in to an establishment where I was judged by the color of my skin. Walked in to have a few drinks at 9:30pm and the young lady raced over to my friends and I saying theyve already announced last call, the kitchen is closed and we cant play pool. Called back at 10:45pm to see what time they closed. Lady answered and said we close at 11pm. Racially profiled if you ask me

Traveled in from NOLA to see our band family rock the stage! Venue is beautiful, staff very welcoming but I have to give a shout out to Emily. She’s never missed a beat on keeping our glasses full she was friendly, communicate with our table and always had a smile. She was hands down one of the best we’ve had in a while.

My husband and I stopped for the first time. Atmosphere and food was good. We were the only African Americans and were required to give our waitress a credit card prior to ordering although other white patrons did not provide their credit card until they finished. I asked if we were being profiled but was told we were not. Maybe not, bu it left a bad taste.

This weekend I visited Fat Daddys in Mansfield for a private Christmas party. The venue is great with many options to host your private event. I will definitely be back to see a live band and drinks with friends. The staff is friendly. The food is good (check out the pizza!). The place is clean. And, even my one year old enjoyed the party!

I really enjoyed the VIBE of this Bar. Very Clean. Excellent Service. Very Good Food. I can recommend the fried pickles and jalapenos appetizer. Also, The Pizza is quite good. The Manager was on the floor introducing herself to everyone and appeared genuinely concerned that everyone was doing well and having a good experience. I came here with a band that was performing on the nice size stage. The Sound was Great (thanks to sound man, I believe his name was Brian - sorry if i got that wrong). Everybody was Very Friendly. Overall I really enjoyed my experience here and hope to visit again soon.

Review №46

Pretty cool place to dine and enjoy live music from a vast array of cover bands.It gets pretty crowded on the weekends so if you have a favorite cover band suggest you get there early.The food is really good...A bit of a negative.... The service is a bit slower than expected...But If youre there to enjoy the bands then its not too bad.Unfortunately there are no half stars in the scale or I would grade 4.5 stars.

The waitresses never want to serve us. We always have to hunt them down to get a menu and then hunt them down to place an order. They are always too busy with the people that order a lot of alcohol or in the room with the people playing bar.games.The trivia show is great. Its the only reason I go there.

Visited the area for my first time on 12/30 and was taken to Fat Daddys. Initially the environment was good. But while trying to enjoy our food peacefully, my boyfriend who is African American, was harassed with racial profiling and degrading comments. Turns out it was by none other than the OWNER of this establishment. Instead of standing up for what is right the owner was defended by people with the he didnt mean it, hes drunk excuse. Its very unfortunate that hes in a somewhat highly regarded position and has so much hatred and ignorance. Needless to say, we will never visit this business again, I will be filing a discrimination complaint, and I will definitely spread the word.

Review №51

Great establishment with tons of potential for one of the best live music venues in Tarrant County. The challenge will be getting good bartenders and waitresses in Mansfield. Last trip there I had a great time listening to a killer band ... But the service staff barely gets a passing grade. JMAC

Review №55

Nice place was to really great cover bands. One was playing Rush music and the other was playing Pink Floyd. Both bands were great. The drinks are a little high price but the atmosphere is really nice. There is an outdoor section also that had country music playing but I was inside where the stage was and The Rock and Roll was being played. I was there on a Saturday and there was a crowd but it wasnt overly crowded. And I like that. I hate to be walking shoulder to shoulder in a group of people. Just the right amount of people there and everybody seemed to be having a good time.

Review №59

Normally service is very good there and the food is excellent but I havent been there in a few months and theyve got new trainees which I understand they dont know exactly how to wait on people at the moment but theyre learning but not to have water serve to you for 45 minutes after you eat your meal is ridiculous and you constantly tell the waitress this is not right thats not right then she gets an attitude because you ordered something that you want to pay for but they give you what they want you to have or she just had her head way up her but regardless I wont go back for a while and I did talk to the manager. That poor little girl I have a lot to learn if she wants to be a server and the first thing is you keep those glasses full and you always keep a smile on the customers always right

We had a party of 16 on a Saturday evening. We needed a couple of special accommodations at the last minute due to our poor planning. The General Manager was extremely nice and accommodating. Our waitress was great and the food and atmosphere was equally great. I wish I had the names of the general manager and our waitress to give credit where its due. Thank you Fat Daddys Team!

First time here. I was Googling wings near me. What I found...was the best wings I have had in Texas. I have eaten at Pluckers, Wingstop, Buffalo Wild Wings and Hooters. FAT DADDYS.......has the best HOT wings I have ever had. All the way from Ohio to Texas, in my opinion they are the best.

They have steel tip darts and you can bring your own darts. Food is okay not spectacular. I had the buffalo chicken sandwitch. It had a slice of cheese on it and too much sauce. Id give the meal a 3 out of 5. Atmosphere was nice. Ill definitely be going back for the darts. The service and atmosphere bring the 3 to a 4.

Great atmosphere for such a large place. It is layed out well. Stephanie the bartender had a great personality behind the bar. She is a keeper!! We didnt order food so I cant comment on that. Mitch the assistant GM also took time to ask us about our experience which was very nice to see that the manager cares. We will definitely be back. The only down side was the patio was heavily cigar smoke filled. An exhaust fan would help.

Really like the layout - outside/porch, bar, pool table area, inside seating. Its nice be able to sit where you want, depending on the mood youre in or the ocassion. We sat outside/porch and it was nice but we waited at least 20 mins before a server even asked us about drinks. Even then, we didnt get menus. I had to go to the bar to get them. Other than that, atmosphere was good, drinks were good prices fair. Well be back.

This was the amount of wine they served me......this is my third. The second was in a actual wine glass. So i poured this in to the empty wine glass. It was only half of what i WAS being served. So i told the waitress. She said she would see if they could pour more and came back with the same amount in the original glass.

So the bar is amazing and the food is really good, but the service is terrible. The red headed bartender, Stephanie, was awesome, but thats the only good service youre going to get. The bartender that is supposed to serve outside, is always at the inside bar B.S.ing. We never get checked on by the servers. While we were waiting for service outside, we saw our server sitting down talking inside. I dont know how these girls make money.

Drinks were good, just we didnt get a server or nobody went to our table at all.

Review №96

Good place to go to but had to given it 2 stars because we had to wait so long for our waitress to introduce herself to us and ask us if we wanted anything and give us our menus. And, secondly because the band music was way too loud to feel relaxed and enjoy ourselves longer there by the fireplace and spend more money. Also, Im not a smoker so when you go to the other outside patio bar there was alot of smoke and smokers around and it made it kind of unbearable to stay and buy more drinks, so we chose to not spend more and relax more and leave. Hopefully they will realize this and make more bottom line profit if they make the smokers smoke outside or make a smokers booth with a vacuum thingy to suck the smoke out. But I can say I do overall recommend this place for anyone to come to.
