We were wondering about bringing our kids to this restaurant at first due to its biker bar styled appearance ...but we are glad we did! The staff there made the kids feel special and gave us some great recommendations for dinner.
I usually come to smokehouses for the brisket but the chicken was the real home run here! Their house BBQ sauce made it that much better. We will be back!

Older staff makes for a way better experience. Amazing night out! First time there and instantly will be my new hangout. Food was awesome. Try the Derby. Host was phenomenal. They know how to run a business. Jon Taffer would be proud.

It WAS SO GOOD!!! OMG. Such a great place. Ambiance was perfect. Server extremely nice and helpful. Food was out of this world. Found parking right down the road. Would go back in a heart beat.

Post restrictions update: met the owner, Shawn, who is passionate (and awesome) about his place. New addition; a speakeasy area dedicated for private events. Great idea, and creates a better atmosphere for regular patrons. Shawn gave us a mini tour and a treat at the end, for a memorable experience.
Good place for BBQ in the area. Beef brisket: consistently good and would recommend it over the rest of the items. Baked beans: a solid choice as well, has bits of brisket mixed in. Corn bread: a nice crust and soft/sweet in the middle, addictive. Mac and cheese: creamy, though might be just “cheese sauce”. Ribs: dry rub and is good, though no baby back option. Fries: decent. Chicken: appears on the dry side. Thursday all you can eat ribs is a great value.

Amazing pulled pork.. succulent and full of flavor! Great sides.. we tried the fried corn on the cob.. very tasty! Will definitely make a regular place to dine!
Love the water faucets in the bathrooms! Mini.motorcycle! The entire restaurant is very clean and inviting. Also they have a very cheerful, knowledgeable staff! Great find!

Shawn and his team recently catered our event for 40 people. WOW!!!! Amazing service from start to finish. Shawn had wonderful ideas on presentation, and you could tell the passion he has for his food while speaking with him. Day of, everything arrived, well packed, labeled, and the perfect temperature. The food was on point. The BBQ was amazing. The sauces were fantastic. GO to this place to eat!!!!

Amazing place with great staff. Friend told me to visit this place while in Ottawa. Amazing ribs comparable to state of Kentucky which is not easy to pull off as they are one of the top state in the USA for ribs. I also love that you can choose which sauce you want as they have three different bottles at the table.

I came to Fatboys for dinner with my dad yesterday evening and we were both absolutely blown away by the food. It was absolutely delicious.
The service though was on a whole other level. Our server was extremely polite and attentive, yet not too invasive, which is exactly what I like. I also have to mention that the service is REALLY FAST. We were in and out in less than 40 minutes, on a beautiful Friday evening.
My only little disappointment was that my delicious vanilla milkshake was served in a disposable plastic cup instead of a reusable cup, despite the fact that we ate in.
Overall, fantastic experience. I will be returning!

Fantastic place!! Great service and OMG the smell when you open that door.....amazing. Had the pleasure of sampling quite a few items. All of them were off the chart! Smoked Bacon Mac and Cheese, cornbread and the deep fried corn on the cob even blew my mind. Can't wait to go back.

We are in Ottawa for a hockey tournament and Fatboys was recommended to us. They were able to accommodate 36 of us last minute when no one else did. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Our server was very knowledgeable and funny as hell. We will definitely return and recommend to others.

My husband and I visited last night and haven’t stopped talking about the food! On recommendation we ordered The Kentucky Derby and were not disappointed! Just enough smoky goodness without overpowering the flavour of the meat. The cornbread was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Our server and host were attentive and very, very helpful. Very impressed and will absolutely be back.

I was asked by Kathryn Schafer to come down and try the food as I'm a bit of a home chief myself and she was impressed.
The staff was fantastic and the service quick and with a smile, not to mention the amazing food!!! WTF the pulled pork best I've ever had ( suggested by Kathryn) and my side a potato salad my mom would have been proud of again suggested by my serve ( Dani ). I will definitely be back to try the whole menu.

I've been there a few times and my bar tender Jordy even remembered the beer I had last and asked me how I liked it and if I wanted to have it again? I also got to meet Shawn the owner and we has a great chat. As a biker I can appreciate a place where we can go and have a great time. Thanks Fatboys. Sky Warrior Prez of the Savage Warriors.

If you are in Ottawa you must go to Fatboys! The food was amazing and so was the service. Best BBQ ever!!! They even took my husband to the kitchen because he was interested in seeing the smoker. You will not be disappointed with food or service!!

Better value than the National Gallery of Canada!!
Great food! Great service! Wicked drink menu to boot!

Great staff. Our Waitress knew all the types of beer and listed them off. She was smart about the sides too. We were mostly all first timers there so she told us what page to take a look on and recommended a few after prompting. I had the Texas Brisket sandwich and Scalloped potatoes. It was tender and I was into adding the 3 different sauces one at a time and gauging their flavour. Too bad I was riding since they are strict about alcohol level in the blood. I would have tried some of their draughts.

I have been wanting to take my husband here for quite awhile. Honestly, this was going to be his treat, he loves home style BBQ fare. Let me tell you, The food was amazing, we started off with a pound of wings, I had the chophouse melt with of side of chili and hubby had the pit special with a side of maple sweet mash with pecans. We could not finish it!! I am usually not big on this style of food, but it was honestly decadent! I want to give a shout out to our server Ashley who made our first (but surely not last) visit to Faboys so enjoyable! Keep up the great work you guys!
Chantal Trottier
My boyfriend and I were hungry and we could smell the delicious food for blocks! Being Canada Day, we knew we would wait awhile to get in but we got together with 4 strangers and the 6 of us shared a table, some drinks and great food! Service was outstanding and the chicken and ribs were amazing! This restaurant has now become our number 1 spot when visiting our nation's capital! Thank you!!!!

Was good. Place was packed so early that's awesome for a Saturday. Food was awesome. Beer was good. Too bad the patio wasn't open.
