We know first hand as a small, ma and pa restaurant the challenges faced by independent restaurant owners. We want to do our best to support these businesses so we will be featuring them here in our social media sites. We hope that our followers will support these family businesses as well!

Today, we share our recent visit to MJ's Eatery in Houghton Lake. It was SO good! Be sure to stop in if you are in the area 🙂

Do you know of a small ma and pa that could use a shout out? Drop the business info in the comments below 👇

It was a bittersweet day on Sunday saying goodbye to our favorite helper, Charles 😢. We feel so blessed to have had him as an employee -- he is quite a character and loved pranking the waitstaff 😂. He is going to be missed 💔.

Tomorrow is our last day! We will be open from 7-2 pm. We hope you pop and say 'hello'!

What a wonderful surprise! The EmpowerU Crew made a surprise stop at Fat Boy to present Matt with a special Thank You banner that they made! They are, without a doubt, THE highlight of our many years running Fat Boy. Happy, kind, funny and hard working...they made the days they were here a little brighter ❤️. Thank you so much for the poster guys! Words can't express what it means to us!

Tomorrow is our last day 😢 -- we will be open from 7 am to 2 pm to serve you one last time. We hope to see you there.
