The food was average diner fair, pretty good. The atmosphere was nice. Unfortunately our waitress was shady about how things were priced. As we went to pay there was a person in front of us who was also upset about the extra charge for soup. It says to pick a soup or salad with your chicken strips. We asked what the soup of the day was. She said what it was. We said okay that sounds great. She did not clarify that on Fridays, especially the soup actually cost more even though it's the soup of the day.
Fat Daves is an absolute journey down nostalgia lane. From the, "Been there done that" waitresses to the old sign out front that has weathered to the point where it looks like it's in Chinese characters, it is right out of central casting. This is not a yuppie joint with hipsters dropping in with skinny jeans and laptops, it is a bastion of long time regulars, waitresses that know your name, and old farts with strong political opinions. I was actually entertained by the old dude who sat at the counter and pontificated loudly about non PC opinions while the long suffering waitress sat next to him nodding and accepting him. There is a lot going on here. Fat Daves is obviously more than just a hash slinging joint, it is a hub of a community, a home away from home. I found the service exemplary in a way that only comes with a life long commitment to a profession. The waitress serviced my table with a practiced ease and efficiency the the hipper places can only dream of. It's an effortless dance that moves from table to table with grace and confidence. The split pea soup, which I have not had for more years than I care to admit longer than many of you have been alive was perfect and rolled out memories of mother and hearth. The chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and buried in country gravy was, although a heart attack on a platter, perfect. Comforting, filling, and packed with nostalgia. Who wants to live forever anyway? I will admit, the place is probably not for everybody. It's old school with no pretensions or interest in coming up to date. There is no signature arugula salad, or asian fusion sushi, but I can't wait to try their BLT and I'll bet their omelets are to die for. I'd love to meet you there for lunch. Come hungry!
The resultant is a little run down but from well use and not neglect it looks like, it is clean and the staff is very friendly. I had the chicken fried steak breakfast with hasbrowns and basted eggs. Every bite was awesome! The gravy had big nice chunks of sausage in it!
Your typical greasy spoon diner with lounge. Had burger, fries, and shake. Burger was big and tasty. Shake was huge and served in metal mixing cup. Atmosphere was what you would expect from a place that has been in business for decades. Staff was friendly and attentive.Food: 4/5
Food was average. Also ordered an unsweetened tea and it was less than average. Ordered the chicken fried steak with scrambled eggs. It was just ok. The diner is old and in need of a face lift to brighten up the place. Positive note, food portions are large and was well taken care of. I want to go back but not yet.
So Fat Dave's is a really good dinner in Hazel Dell ! The portions are huge as you can tell by the picture. It was two meals honestly. My favorite thing to get there is country fried steak and eggs with red potatoes.
The food was pretty damn delicious! Our waitress Christi was amazing. Would definitely recommend if in the hazel dell area.
I love fat Dave’s. The food is made from scratch & the ambience is old fashioned like in the olden days! I love the people here as well. They are so kind & helpful. You can really tell that they love their customers! I highly recommend them if you want to get away from the rat race for awhile & relax in a refreshing old town atmosphere with great food & great people who care & are good at what they do! Oh and the servings are Huge! There’s always leftovers Parking: There is plenty of parking spaces. We’ve never had a problem finding a parking spot.
I had breakfast for dinner! It was amazing! Crazy how expensive everything is these days though. I got the Lorna's special which has something like hash browns, Bacon ham, onions, and a choice of country or brown gravy if I'm remembering correctly and I chose country gravy and added on sausage cheese and spinach and it was close to 30 dollars for the one meal. I must say though that one entree would be enough for most people to feed 2. It was worth it. It tasted amazing! I was happy, full, and had leftovers for breakfast the next morning.
Food was good and decent portions for a big guybreakfast chicken fried steak and the price was reasonable. Had one waitress waiting tables, she was very efficient. Took a half hour to get our food, that would be my only complaint, but we weren't rushed for time. I would go back.Food: 4/5
