Fat Head's Is My Guitly Pleasure!!!
I don't know how anyone couldn't love Fat Head's!! I've been going to wing night every Monday for 10 years now and have NEVER had wings as good as Fat Head's! Most of the staff knows our names, is friendly, and already has our chips...

Awesome Sandwiches and service
Stopped by Fatheads after a wedding in downtown Pitt. Heard about their legendary sandwiches from a family member and decided to make the trip over to the southside. Had some of the original wings to start and and the Jacko steak headwich. My sister got the slopes sandwich, and man was that thing huge. We finished a half each along with the delicious homemade potato chips... and we ate the rest on our trip back to long island. Our server was on top of everything from the minute we got there. From what I could tell that place is run pretty well.

Read this before you go to Fat Heads
TGIFatheads...OK people..here's the issue...Fatheads has fantastic food if you can forgo any type of customer services or friendliness. Have you ever gone into Fatheads when there is more than 50 people in the place? (which is about 90% of the time). The hosts, bartenders, and waitstaff are just miserable people. I actually had a hostess roll her eyes at me and sigh when I requested she had a chair to my table for a last minute add on. I mean I've already waited 1 hour to get a table and she wants to put me back on the list because..well..i'm not sure why.. I was never given a valid reason. It was something like oh the waitress cannot get to the table if you add a chair..WHAT?.. Another time, I was sitting in the bar area. My waiter had been absent for about 10 minutes and there were about 10 people in the whole place.. I went to the bartender, requested a drink, and was told to go back to my table and wait for the waiter... WHAT?... It is unfortunate because I remember moving to the South Side in 1997 and Fatheads was a dive hole-in-the-wall bar with great food and great people.. now it's commercialized and it seems that Fatheads doesn't care about customers..why should they because they are jam packed all the time... Well, I'll tell you why you should.. because I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had the unfortunate experience of interacting with waitstaff, bartenders, and hosts who are cleary irritated by patrons and have treated patrons like they are a complete burden.. um..hello..you are working at one of the busiest restaurants in the most trendy area of town on a Saturday night... GET OVER IT!... So, I'm begging the powers that be at Fatheads to please educate the faces of your company on being decent human beings with understanding and patience... so I don't have to officially boycott you and start a movement of F*ck Fatheads... .. go to City Grill it's better...

Everything is better in the burgh
From the moment you walk in you cant stop smiling ,The thing that made it the best was the workers they have fun thelittle guy on the grill was getting crushed and singing and dancing, They joke with you at the counter and make you really feel like a regular.Althogh it was packed my Food was quick delicious and the price for the area was not at all unreasonabl.You can watch them prepare your food from start to finish.The chilli cheese fries are to die for.They have a steak called THE YINZER which is loaded with onions,green pepper,bannana peppers,mushroom,and toped with lettuce and tomatos.They even offered to wrap what i dont finish most places hand you a box.The decor of the place is relax,trully a great spot to eat.Way to bring a philly favorite to the burgh.

The best WINGS in the nation! ...so far
First let me give you my qualifications. I am in sales and travel ALL over the US. (in search of wings, in my spare time). I have been to Anchor Bar & Duff's. Fat Head's wins - hands down. They are big, meaty and the original is a great well-rounded sauce. Get them grilled for a nice added kick. The cheddar-jalapeno is a must for non-purists! PS, the beer selection is unmatched! Great atmosphere.

Great for the serious beer lover
You can't beat the beer selection in this bar. They have a lot of great beers on tap and even collaborate with Rogue to do their own. Problem is there are a lot of blacks and kiikes that go here. Try their wings, they are incredible.

Good beer, good food
Good draft beer selection, but when their out of a beer, there's no back up in a bottle like Smokin Joes down the street. Every thing I've ever eaten from here has always been good except for the chicken artichoke dip, the chicken tasted like tuna. More often than not, the service is crappy, but I still go back for the beer and atmosphere.

Great beer, one good bartender
I live in the soutside, so I know about every bar and all of the happenings going on around here. So abvously, I've been to Fat heads a few times (enough to know the bar tenders names). Joe, is the one and only bar tender that actually wants to b there. The other ones seem to not care about their job. Miserable, pms-y women are the ones you will encounter so, watch out! And don't even think about smokin joes for a good beer on the weekend, because you will get unfriendly service(even though your a regular) and a crowded atmosphere. Try hofbrauhaus, or cupkas 2 for a good time around here!

Poor Service, Questionable Food, Belgian Beer, Loud
Simply, FatHeads is a bar that serves people who are used to and accept substandard mediocrity, however, I have gone there time and time again for the Belgian Beers and the wings and always ask myself why I went back because each time is a huge dissapointment.Worldwide > United States > Pittsburgh, PA > Bars
