I was in town because a snow storm stopped me from wanting to travel any further. I stayed at a Super 8 down the road and was told I should check out Fatty's if I was looking for food and a beer. I was not disappointed. I sat at the bar because the place was pretty busy. Plus, I was by myself on a business trip anyway so that's what I would typically do. The service was fast, beer recommendations were made, and was able to watch the NBA Playoffs on a tv mounted above me. I can't remember what burger I had but I remember it was one of the most delicious combinations I've ever had. Just a delicious burger. I would definitely recommend this place to someone who has never been to DeKalb before.Zachary..thank you for the kind words. Stop in and see us when you pass through town. Good luck on your travels.

Iâve been out here years & always give this place the brush off.... no reason, just always find some other place to eat. FINALLY stepped inside. Parking in back was aplenty in the afternoon & inside was pretty wide open. Saw a familiar face at the bar which was a great start. Prices were very reasonable & menu had something for everyone wanting pub food. I think I saw a Ruben sandwich for maybe $5.50 ( not a typo ). Saw a Sunday special of fried chicken with fries, slaw & a roll ..... $8.25. Started with a couple drafts ($3.75 maybe). This place is clean as they come. No attitude in this place.... but it was a Sunday afternoon. Food came to the table was served in a huge basket. Half a fried chicken with a GREAT light batter, almost tempura style. Iâm upset with myself it took me this long to step inside.

We ordered their large combination pizza which only comes with 4 toppings (1 meat sausage) so we added pepperoni and enough other items to make it a true combination pizza. We did not know that each addition was $1.15 extra, which is a lot in our opinion. Ordered two salads and again was not advised that one salad could easily feed two people ($5 each), the hot wings were good and hot. Loved all the food but with a grand total of just under $50???!!! The girl who took our order did not advise us at all and she didn't know about the 10% discount you get if you stay at the Red Roof Inn across the street from them. Delivery was very fast, so overall very good but too pricey for us.
4. Annex the Lord Stanley's

This pub is a nice college town bar with great values. My son and I had dinner here with one of his roommates when I helped him move into his place. The bar has many TV's for watching sports and the atmosphere is very friendly. They have a good selection of beers. They also have Great Pizza. We ordered the 16" pizza (one topping) and two pitchers of beer special. What a bargain. I am told it is a great place to watch Chicago Blackhawks games during the season. We will be back.

We wanted to try this place out - it had recently opened. We were worried about it getting enough business.We shouldn't have worried. When we arrived around 6:15 pm, this place was packed solid with people. The bar was full, and fortunately for us and another group, only 2 tables were not full.The tables on the west wall seat 6. We had two people at a table for 6, so it was very comfortable.First off, the portions are good. We ordered their Sampler Appetizer. Big Mistake - it was sized for at least 4, and probably 6. Okay, lesson learned - don't order an appetizer anymore if we are dining as a couple. It was still good - it had very good, fresh flat breads and three dips - hummus, tzatziki, and a hot pepper cream sauce - very tasty.I had the gyro plate, and my wife had the Greek Chicken. The vegetables with her Greek Chicken were fresh and tasted good. My gyros was pretty good, but light on the tzatziki sauce - fortunately, we kept the sampler sauces, so I supplemented them.I ordered a Stella and it was served very cold and was excellent. My wife had a mixed drink which was good.All in all, the service was good, the food and portions were good, and the prices were very good. We hit the door for around $60 with tip and two drinks. Try this placeThank you for the positive review!
