★★★★★ 5.0 Frank Adrian Martinez Asilda · Mar 2026

Had a great experience at Fat Dan’s in Carmel. We ordered the hamburger and the chicken tenders, and both were excellent. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, with a great balance of toppings and a soft bun that held everything together well. The chicken tenders were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, clearly made fresh and with good quality chicken. The portions were generous and everything arrived hot and fresh. The atmosphere was relaxed and casual, making it a great place to enjoy comfort food with friends or family. Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall experience was very enjoyable. Definitely a place we would visit again when we are in the area and craving a solid burger and great chicken tenders.

Loved Fat Dan’s in Carmel. We are not up here that often and had our dog Noel with us so searched dog friendly places to it. Nice seating area outside to accommodate us. The local St. Joseph IPA draft was wonderful. We split the pressed Cubano sandwich and it was a bit on the smaller side, but extremely well made. Not easy to find a tasty version of this sandwich but this is definitely one. Normally not the biggest fan of stone oven pizza, but this was incredibly tasty. Not too crisp, toppings of meatball, pepperoni and sausage perfect and crust it seemed had a flavor coating that added to its depth. So many other menu items left to be explored so will be back in the future. Our service also spot on as sometimes those outside get forgotten but not here 😎

Good not impressive. I remember trying Fat Dan's many years ago when they first opened in broad ripple. The owner was there and he told us about how he came from Chicago which made us even more excited because we are also from northern Indiana and our playground was Chicago. Food, party, bars, concerts, festivals, car shows, just an entire vibe. Let's not leave out the food. Chi-town has a food game,a vibe in itself. Back to the review. We ordered the best burger we had ever had, the fries were separate, I think that was a new experience for me as at that time most places you could go to a restaurant and at least have an option of ordering combo style. I was relatively new to the area, the prices were a tad bit expensive for just the burger and fries but conversing with the owner, his hosp

Legit itialian beef... Sweet peppers and hot giardiniera were spot on. Got mine wet the roll was cut just a bit to much or the gravy was put right on the hinge cause it ended up falling apart. Wife got the Italian sandwich I believe, it was to spicy for her she ended up just picking at the meat after the server told her what would have been so spicy.
