Thanks so much for the love and support you’ve shown us over the last week. You’ve overwhelmed us!!! In fact, with the numerous walk-ins and extensive online business, we’ve been having trouble getting to the phones. If you’re really craving some of our smoked BBQ one last time, we recommend that you pay us a visit and place your order in person. That will also give us a chance to see your faces and give you our thanks for giving us 19 wonderful years in which to serve you! (Please note, due to the high volume of business, food prep is taking much longer than usual, as well.) We thank you for your continued patience and all of your good wishes! - The Fat Willy’s Staff

It’s with deep gratitude and a true shade of sadness that we are announcing our closure at the end of this month. Sunday, September the 27th, will be our last day of operation. We have been serving the neighborhood for 19+ years and we have been humbled and honored to serve so many incredible guests. Many of you became a special part of our lives and it was an amazing thing to feed you all. We will miss our restaurant guests and employees. We all look forward to a renewed and brighter future.

If you’re like us and are having trouble making up your mind this weekend, our sliders are a terrific option. You can enjoy all of our delicious smoked meats (including pulled pork, chicken and brisket) and leave those difficult decisions to someone else.

“Summer loving, happened so fast...” Well, maybe not so fast, but we are happy to announce that our patio is now open for limited occupancy. We are taking things slowly to protect you and our staff, so this will be a self service situation. Customers are welcome to order take-out and then dine outside. Masks must be worn inside to order & we ask that customers please dispose of their containers when they are through eating so that others can enjoy the space. We have bottled drinks for purchase, but no table service (water etc...) will be offered. Tables will also be on a first come-first service basis. We appreciate your business and your patience as we navigate these new waters with caution and care & with everyone’s best interests at heart. We are open today from 4 pm to 10 pm and tomorrow from 12 pm until 9 pm. We look forward to seeing you soon.
