Hidden Treasure alert for Elk Grove/ Wood dale !!!!!!!! This little spot feels like your in a different state.... not sure why but it just takes me somewhere else. It has all the right components to becoming a great simplistic chain like CHIPOTLE. From their Menu layout, to the ordering setup... it has this rustic feeling... but still clean. Ive had the Gourmet Burger - awesome Ive had the Hot Dog special - Chicago Style! Ive had a few of there salads - Large portions. **** try the Fry's.... there cut in small pieces which is different but cool... gives it another taste **** I'm out!

This has got to be our favorite place to go for breakfast and lunch.. The food is great and everyone that works there is very nice, even Louis! This place is somewhat like the "Cheers" of Elk Grove (less the liquor). Every morning the same people are there for breakfast and then you see them there for lunch again. The menu is full of unique combination of hot dogs and hamburgers and have not found any i do not like, although the Charlie Sheen burger is my favorite. Give it a try and you will not be disappointed.

There is no reason you shouldn't order a burger and fries here for lunch. Unless, of course, you are there for the breakfast (which I cannot write about because I have never been there earlier than 11 AM- but they serve breakfast all day!). You just need to order any kind of burger they offer, and the Fatt Fries. It's really what they excel at. They have enough variety and toppings to satisfy anyone's weird cravings, and the Fatt Sauce you can put on your fries and feel really bad about yourself afterwards, because you know it was like eating 2000 calories all at once (JUST THE FRIES). But damn does it taste good. One time, (at band camp) I ordered a salad here. It came out almost as large as the tray itself. This is obnoxiously large, and I think the employees decided if anyone came here and wanted to act all sanctimonious about being "healthy" they would give them an entire head of iceburg lettuce with a ton of toppings to show them another way they can get to 1000 calories while thinking they are being healthy. Another time, I had a special- grilled chicken with buffalo sauce, blue cheese crumbles, all on flat bread with fatt fries. Again, this was a winner. I couldn't even finish 1/3 of my fries. The portions are huge. Just as a side note, parking here is kind of busy, so aim for the side parking lot so you don't hit anyone on your way in or out of the one way channel along the front of the restaurant.

With a name like Fatt Mustard, as you would imagine, its menu is full of health food. Just kidding: it's a greasy spoon diner that serves gut bombs in abundance. That said, the prices are hard to beat and the portions are ridiculous. I always look for places with "unique" menu items, and this place has many to choose from--some would say too many. There were about a dozen menu items that were what I call "dare foods"--novelty food items not meant to be savored and enjoyed but angrily consumed in spite. These are foods that push the boundaries of human endurance and are only served as part of a contest. My wife almost accidentally ordered one until the server warned us that eating it within 20 minutes could earn her a free T-shirt (not a joke). We settled on a burger for me, hot dog for her and shared an order of Cyclops Fries--cheese fries with diced onions, jalepenos, marinara sauce and a giant meatball in the center. That was 8 hours ago and I'm still full. Thumbs up; would gorge again.

Place is awesome. From regular sandwiches to the creative burgers, there is something here for everyone (Except Vegans). They serve huge breakfast platters all day and have great sauces to accompany any meal. Every meal here has a characteristic to it, and the menu is large enough for a good variety but not so large that it seems like there are food items that don't get enough love. My favorite things to get are: Charlie Sheen, Red Reuben, and these hot dogs with bacon bits on them.

We order here to cater for work. They have excellent food and we've tried just about everything. We love the hot dogs and they have a bunch of different types. The burgers are also good.

Had the Charlie Sheen without the STDs. It is suppose to be one of their top selling burgers and I can see why. There is an egg on it, and how can you not want that?

Grabbed a breakfast burrito here - not on the menu but they will throw anything you want into a large spinach or tomato burrito for you. Eggs were scrambled and EXCELLENT! Sausage was a little spicy which was nice. Cheese was fully melted. Only draw back is that the hash browns - tossed into the burrito could have been cooked more - they were not raw, they were done but I like mine with a little crisp so that is on me for not specifying. I ate at 9AM and it's now 330PM and I am still plenty full!

Have lunch here several times per month and have been completely satisfied with the service and the food. Hot dog and fries, hamburgers all good. Daily specials also hit the spot. Good ingredients fresh food can get packed at lunch, testament to the food and service.

****Balloons are falling down from my sky! Yep Yelp is that cool, they know when you actually write your 100th review!! I received $50 voucher in the email as well. I couldnt believe it! Alright im totally kidding, but thats what I imagined. lol Review - Fatt Mustard Food - My Fav was def the fries! They are fresh cut fries, lets say it again bc sometimes peps cant tell the difference. They server FRESH cut fries. You can tell the difference trust me! And the fries are good!! They serve you more than enough too, but on a cold day who doesnt mind putting back a fried greasy potatoe or two. lol When you walk into the place the line dividers are jugs of veg oil. Kinda funny but kinda gross when you think about it... Other than their fries, its a typical burger and hot dog joint that get creative on a few menu items. I ordered the Charlie Sheen it was a burger w/ grilled onions, bacon, jalepenos, hot sauce (franks red hot), and american cheese. Basically it sounds like a heart burn waiting to happen if you are old, out of shape, and married. lol Well Im none of those so I ate it w/ a smile on my face. :) Decent burger I would have like to see the burger have some thickness but its one of those burgers that are thin and get that nice crisp from the flat top. Decor and Service - They have the cheezy hidden sexual sayings, which I always enjoy reading on the walls all over the place. Besides that it appears to be a husband n wife duo running the joint very nice people and handle the crowds quite well! It was lunch by myself so nothing that humurous could happen. lol

Been driving by this place for about a year now and I finally decided to stop by. It was well worth it. I got a chickenator meal. Fresh hot food, quick service, nice atmosphere. Will definitely be stopping by again.

This is the first hotdog place I am not grossed out by. Its fresh ingredients, and the relish isn't the incredible hulk kind and glowing. The staff has actually been pretty cool, I have been there twice and I already get the "hey man, good to see ya" stuff. Highly recommend if you like easy yummy food at a good price.

Food took forever. It was pretty crowded though on a Friday afternoon. I had the gyro and it was ok, not even close to being great though. So, my review of this place is "meh".

Had the kardashian dogs and fries with side of fried pickles. Very YUMMY! Only complaint. seemed all the fries in my order were shrapnel fries ( all in little pieces AND NOT SALTED. No salt packets included in my to go order. despite these little setbacks I will deffinately be back.

My boss actually showed me this place last year. Fun and quick, I think of Fatt Mustard as a guilty pleasure. The fries are a dark pile of greasy goodness. The sandwiches are big and juicy. Look around the dining room and you'll see old LP album covers from the 1970s and 80s up there. And a lot of old posters that put you in the mood to relax and have a fun bite to eat before returning to the workday.

ok the burgers are good, not sure if DDD would ever stop here. nothing too special. the service on the other hand was terrible. Me looking at menu and trying to decide what I would like when a employee , I wouldn't say yelled but forcefully asked me if I was ready to order and I responded I am still looking at the menu and she dismissed me quickly to talk with another employee that was sitting at the pick up window on break I guess. I was ready to place my order and I walked up toward the register and the employee was still chatting with the other employee and I guess she wasn't ready to take my order until she was finished talking . I placed my order for the " heart attack " burger and proceeded to pay , after she took the order she basically threw my receipt and change into my hand and quickly walked away to continue her conversation with the other employee who was on break. I ordered a soda with my meal and walked over to the pop machine and wanted ice in my cup, 4 cubes fell out and the machine was empty, I kept pressing the ice bar because it makes a loud click to engage the release for the ice at least a half dozen times while both employees are still talking at the pick up window , which is about 2 feet away. It was obvious that the machine was empty and not once did either employee ask or tell me that they would add more ice to the machine. So I mentioned to her that the ice machine was empty and she never even looked in my direction. I have a voice that can be heard and for her to ignore me was not going to happen. I then in a louder voice said " the ice machine is empty " and I would like some more ice , she replied OK and continued to talk with her other employee. 3 other customer came in while I was there trying to fill my drink. they never added ice , she never mentioned it to anyone else there to fill it so I had my soda with 4 ice cubes and I guess that all you can have there. I waited another 8 minutes for my food which was quick and she was talking the whole time I sat there and never filled or made an attempt to fill the ice . it was 1:20 in the afternoon and I understand the lunch rush but once I asked if I could have more ice I would have thought they would have filled the machine. sorry but this is not a " respect the customer " type of place I guess. if I wanted rude, and dismissive I would have went to Ed Debevics and would have expected it.

I have been going here for over two years now. Since it first opened many things have been added and improved. I've tried different things on their menu, from Sandwiches, burgers, all the chicken plates, soups, pasta Wed and salads. Salads have massively improved, I might have to get one next time I'm in. All their food is seasoned and cooked well. I pay to eat here because the food is fresh. Such as their hot dogs FRESH, not store bought processed in some plant! I'd rather pay a little more and know it's fresh than pay for something cheaper and not know when it expired. The quality of good is good. I always get a lot of food for my money, so I always have leftovers. I'm happy! The customer service is always spot on! To address the pricing again, you can always get things from the combo list. Make smarter choices when buying. I can get many dishes and be right at $7.00. Much healthier meal than going down the street to McDonalds and paying $5-$9 for a value meal loaded with crap. Just sayin! Happy Eating

What does Blago, Lohan, The Beastie Boys and Zambrano all have in common? They're all menu items at Fatt Mustard Cafe which is a burger joint with your not so typical menu. Imagine an army of french cut french fries (skin on) diving into a bath of boiling peanut oil. Anybody that knows their fries knows when it's peanut oil. Pair these fries with their special house sauce or the hanky panky sauce which tasted of a creamy mustard with a hint of curry. They take burgers and dogs and give them an upgrade such as the The Big "Opah" Burger which is what happens when a gyro and a burger has a baby. This was the first thing I tried here and it works I was also able to bear witness my coworker finishing what they call the "King Kong Challenge" which is the mother of all hot dogs. I can't even begin to start describing this monstrosity of a heart attack. I'll be back to try their other items including their paninii.

Their business card says "Get Fatt Today" on both sides... awesome... fries are kind of a disaster cosmetically but taste great i think they must cut them themselves... their Gyros gets a "Flawless Victory" from fat has rendered out and tastes good and as busy as this place is the meat is not old and dry when you get it... the chickenator... wow... awesome its like the matrix you can't be told what it is you have to try it... you'll know what i'm talking about when you see it... the lady that i think is the owner cares... one time i was there to pick up a carry out order had to wait forever starting to get furious cuz 15 minutes is like an eternity when ur waiting for something that should be done and i see this lady keep asking about my order and her feeling bad every time she looks at my face and she has somebody else hand me my food and hand me some discount cards and apologize to me in a way that makes me happy and come back... Class Act...
Well first off, I don't eat meat, so theres very little I can order from. My first visit, I got the Greek Omlette without gyros in it. Not memorable. My second visit I got an one egg sandwich with cheese on an english muffin - pretty good but nothing to write home about. I like the idea that its not a chain and its a small business - I will always support small businesses over chains any day.

I work in Elk Grove VIllage so Yelp helped me find this place. The Giant Gyro was the best gyro I have had in a long time. Very fast and friendly service. Interesting menu. Side note: One order of fries was split 3 ways! Hopefully I can bump them up to 5 stars on my next visit.

Love this place. The recipes are amazing and the menu is massive. There are a few healthy options, but if you're looking to cure a hangover, look no further. The burgers, hot dogs, french fries, and sandwiches are great. I would especially recommend the Party Crashers, the Bucket Burger, the Charlie Sheen, and the Big Opah. You can't really go wrong here, there's definitely something for anyone. A friend of mine who works nearby turned me on to this place, and since then I've insisted on bringing several other friends in to try it, and not one of them disliked it. Keep an eye on the hours, they're closed Sundays and close at 3 every other day. It is probably a good thing this place isn't open late, otherwise I could see myself making several post-midnight treks here to wrap up long nights of partying.

I'll be honest - I had many reasons to fear this place. I'd read it was greasy, and with menu items such as The Heart Attack, Doomsday Dogs, The Charlie Sheen and The Ricky Bobby I knew I should stay FAR.AWAY. They put gyro meat on burgers. Mac n cheese on buns. Country fried steak and gravy ON TOP OF a beef patty. I mean this place is like THE ULTIMATE hangover food and I just can't bring myself to eat it when I have to return back to the office and try to function like an adult. However, the intern guys at work (bless their hearts) invited me and I decided I'd try a chicken sandwich- Blue Buffalo. I was glad it was grilled, not fried. It was good but it had jalapenos and it was then I'd realized I had made a mistake. Why, you ask? I love jalapenos, but... Canned jalapenos? Really? Who are you kidding, Fatt Mustard? Booooo. Boo I say. You got some points back with the tots. I'll be back but only because these interns are good kids and I enjoy an occasional lunch with them. If nothing else the menu will give you a good laugh- fattmustard.com/menus/me… Hold the fried Chickenator!

OMG.... this place is right by my job. I heard a couple of people talking about this place and was sort of interested. One of the managers at my job daughter's knows the owners son. I was set on going since the daughter recommended it. Holy Heaven..Im a very healthy eating person but sometimes a girl needs grease. This place is amazing. The amount of items is incredible. The cheeseburgers come with a nice warm bun and they are a very nice size burger. The serve breakfast everyday at anytime, I love breakfast! Breakfast for lunch is awesome. They also have a healthy section and a nice salad section as well.

This place is quickly becoming an office favorite since our company moved to the area a few weeks ago. Sadly, they are not ON Devon, so it's hard to tell they are even there. Being that a Fastsigns franchise is in their same strip, you would think they would have more signage at the corner of Devon and Tonne (wood dale) to direct people. Fries are stupendous. I just wish they weren't as chopped up as they are; they are kinda hard to eat. But they really are yummy. I'm not much for fries, so for me to say they are good, is a compliment. Service is great. The staff is fast and accommodating. The place is clean. And if u know me, you know I like clean. Fun decor and good food wraps it up for me. I will be back and believe me when I say, my coworkers are here almost every day. One guy I work with is bringing in their breakfast sandwich every morning now. He loves them.

Buddy M.
I stopped by the place to pick up some food. It was 20 minutes until 3pm. The door was open and the open sign was on. After looking at the menu on the wall for a bit, I was told that they were closed for the day. So I could not even try the food. You just turned off someone who loves burgers to your business. Not a good idea.

Ron R.
I was pretty harsh on my initial visit. This place does have decent food...not only that, it opens around 5:30 for breakfast. I was one of the few that completed the eating challenge, and I still wear my "FATT Mustard" shirt on a consistent basis. Good food!

I really wanted to love Fatt Mustard but they're gonna have to settle for like until they try a little harder. My double bacon cheeseburger was eh, okay. The meat was more bland than anticipated, since they boast about it being their own and being made fresh daily. And the bacon? I was not a fan. Seemed kinda cheap and thin. The fries... not sure what all the raving is about, I got mostly tiny little pieces that I had to spear mass quantities of onto a fork just to dip in ketchup... where all the pieces then fell off the fork and into the ketchup. Gave up and tossed them, mostly the whole bag. They were a bit undercooked anyway. You'd think those tiny little pieces would have fried up fast. For $10, I can do a 3/4 lb burger at Dino's in Glendale Heights. And the fries are included. I will say, Fatt Mustard has the best burger in a 5 mile radius of my job. Unfortunately, as most burgers suck around my job, that's not a huge claim to fame.

Finally a decent "newer" place in Elk Grove. The menu is creative with daily specials and their fries are to die for "nubs" perfect and a huge portion. Funny named menu items (Bradgelina, Beastie Boys dogs, mac n cheese hot dogs), made fresh to order and the burgers...well the bun kinda takes over the burger. They are "flat" worth the double though. Yes they are a bit pricey but u get what u pay for! The signs on the wall are fun to read while waiting or eating.

Pricing is a bit steep for what you get. They have some interesting burger ideas but I don't think I'll be back to try any of them. Burger was just average at best and the fries while you do get a fair amount, most were crispy burnt pieces. They are natural cut skin on fries so bonus points there. Food in general was just average. I'd go again if someone really wanted to but I wouldn't seek the place out on my own. The place gets super busy around noon so plan accordingly.

I used to come here a long time ago and one of my friends wanted to try it today for lunch after reading the reviews here. I ordered the gyro combo plate and he had the burger. The gyro itself was very good. I love the spice on the lamb meat here. Its very mild but perfect in this sandwich. The combo came with fries. These are real fries with the skins on and were overall pretty good. Now the part that hurt was that the price went up here. that combo was like $10 and I think the last time I came here it was like $8. I was going to go 4 stars but it was alittle pricey so I went 3 stars.

Erick P.
I like their Gyros and that's about it. Their hamburgers are ehhh not that great and they give you ton of fries but half the time they are not cooked all the way. They are a lil bit expensive as well. I go here maybe like once every other month to grab a gyro that it's about it.
(3)
Nick S.
Place is amazing. People complaining about costs going up are ridiculous. Do you live in a cave? Have you been to a grocery store? Take note in how all prices are going up. Fatt Mustard hasn't jacked up prices to further financial gain, they are doing what any of you would do if you owned a business... With that being said. GO ENJOY A BIG FAT BURGER OR ANYTHING ELSE FATT MUSTARD HAS, THIS PLACE IS LEGENDARY!

We used to order here a lot at work and at first everything was so good. They were something different in the area and we needed that. Lately the quality has gone down but the prices have gone WAY up. I always get a hot dog, fry and a drink which is one of their meal specials....its gone up a lot. Almost $7....I would rather go to Bubby's and pay less and the quality is just as good. Sorry guys! You used to be better than this!

Y'know those places you see on Yelp that have AMAZZING looking pictures, and great reviews and someone calls it a hidden gem and you have to try it? This isn't one of those places. We were persuaded by the reviews and the pretty pictures, but when all is said and done, this is just a regular local hot dog joint. They try to put some interesting things on their dogs, and sandwiches, but overall it's just average stuff you could make at home. Their big claim to fame seems to be the Fat Sauce, which tastes almost exactly like Red Robin's Campfire Sauce. What they do is fine. We ordered a couple of chili dogs that had mac 'n cheese on top, with bacon and whatnot. There wasn't really anything special about them. They tasted fine. They looked fine. They were fine. Don't take this review the wrong way. If I lived in the area and was craving a hot dog, I'd definitely come back. But I wouldn't make it a destination stop again. In fact, this is going to be a short review because it's just simple stuff. Service was prompt and friendly. Presentation was fine. Taste was fine. It's just not stand up and shout, eat here every week delicious. And that's okay.

I am a breakfast foodie. I love a restaurant that puts a twist on things. Now, before eating the breakfast here, I had tried a panini because it was a free lunch thanks to my workplace. Plus, I was new to the area and didn't know many restaurants in the proximity. The sandwiches are good; Greasy, but good. The fries are in fact fresh cut, but they're more like fry nuggets because most of them are so small. In my opinion, the lunch food is average at best. Back to breakfast: They have an amazing opportunity to make some bomb breakfast food. Considering they open at the crack of dawn and close just after lunch, they need to make desayuno a priority. You can order it all day, with an exception of a few items. Again, their breakfast is simply average. The omelets usually don't come out fully cooked. I've gotten pieces of egg whites that are still gooey-nasty and personally gross me out (haha). I am sorry to say this, but they're hashbrowns suck. They are completely undercooked and have no flavor what-so-ever. I understand that they are simply potatoes, but throw some spices on those suckers! Even asking for them well-done doesn't change anything; Trust me, I've asked for them EXTRA well done. I would suggest swapping the hash out with tots, if you enjoy crispy tators like myself. On a more positive note, they're country fried steak is to die for. It's delicious, fresh, and smothered in white country gravy. If you were to get breakfast there, go for the CFS, no questions asked. In the end, it's all like I said: Just average. And greasy. With horrible hashbrowns. Do I suggest trying it out? Sure, why not. Would I make it a point of interest if you're in town? Mehhh, probably not. Though, to each their own, right?

Swung by here on lunch break, called in my order before hand, seperate line for pick ups which is nice. Loaded cheese fries are amazing. Busy at lunch but still made it in and out in good time. The Bart Simpson (Mac n chz with marinara ) burger wasn't the best but I will be in again to try another. Parking was a bit of a pain though, like I said, busy at lunch in a strip mall. Huge menu though and gyros! I will have to try those too

There is no reason you shouldn't order a burger and fries here for lunch. Unless, of course, you are there for the breakfast (which I cannot write about because I have never been there earlier than 11 AM- but they serve breakfast all day!). You just need to order any kind of burger they offer, and the Fatt Fries. It's really what they excel at. They have enough variety and toppings to satisfy anyone's weird cravings, and the Fatt Sauce you can put on your fries and feel really bad about yourself afterwards, because you know it was like eating 2000 calories all at once (JUST THE FRIES). But damn does it taste good. One time, (at band camp) I ordered a salad here. It came out almost as large as the tray itself. This is obnoxiously large, and I think the employees decided if anyone came here and wanted to act all sanctimonious about being "healthy" they would give them an entire head of iceburg lettuce with a ton of toppings to show them another way they can get to 1000 calories while thinking they are being healthy. Another time, I had a special- grilled chicken with buffalo sauce, blue cheese crumbles, all on flat bread with fatt fries. Again, this was a winner. I couldn't even finish 1/3 of my fries. The portions are huge. Just as a side note, parking here is kind of busy, so aim for the side parking lot so you don't hit anyone on your way in or out of the one way channel along the front of the restaurant.

That said, the prices are hard to beat and the portions are ridiculous. I always look for places with "unique" menu items, and this place has many to choose from--some would say too many. There were about a dozen menu items that were what I call "dare foods"--novelty food items not meant to be savored and enjoyed but angrily consumed in spite. These are foods that push the boundaries of human endurance and are only served as part of a contest. My wife almost accidentally ordered one until the server warned us that eating it within 20 minutes could earn her a free T-shirt (not a joke). We settled on a burger for me, hot dog for her and shared an order of Cyclops Fries--cheese fries with diced onions, jalepenos, marinara sauce and a giant meatball in the center. That was 8 hours ago and I'm still full. Thumbs up; would gorge again.

Place is awesome. From regular sandwiches to the creative burgers, there is something here for everyone (Except Vegans). They serve huge breakfast platters all day and have great sauces to accompany any meal. Every meal here has a characteristic to it, and the menu is large enough for a good variety but not so large that it seems like there are food items that don't get enough love. My favorite things to get are: Charlie Sheen, Red Reuben, and these hot dogs with bacon bits on them.
(5)Nick M.
We order here to cater for work. They have excellent food and we've tried just about everything. We love the hot dogs and they have a bunch of different types. The burgers are also good.

Had the Charlie Sheen without the STDs. It is suppose to be one of their top selling burgers and I can see why. There is an egg on it, and how can you not want that?

Grabbed a breakfast burrito here - not on the menu but they will throw anything you want into a large spinach or tomato burrito for you. Eggs were scrambled and EXCELLENT! Sausage was a little spicy which was nice. Cheese was fully melted. Only draw back is that the hash browns - tossed into the burrito could have been cooked more - they were not raw, they were done but I like mine with a little crisp so that is on me for not specifying. I ate at 9AM and it's now 330PM and I am still plenty full!

Have lunch here several times per month and have been completely satisfied with the service and the food. Hot dog and fries, hamburgers all good. Daily specials also hit the spot. Good ingredients fresh food can get packed at lunch, testament to the food and service.

****Balloons are falling down from my sky! Yep Yelp is that cool, they know when you actually write your 100th review!! I received $50 voucher in the email as well. I couldnt believe it! Alright im totally kidding, but thats what I imagined. lol Review - Fatt Mustard Food - My Fav was def the fries! They are fresh cut fries, lets say it again bc sometimes peps cant tell the difference. They server FRESH cut fries. You can tell the difference trust me! And the fries are good!! They serve you more than enough too, but on a cold day who doesnt mind putting back a fried greasy potatoe or two. lol When you walk into the place the line dividers are jugs of veg oil. Kinda funny but kinda gross when you think about it... Other than their fries, its a typical burger and hot dog joint that get creative on a few menu items. I ordered the Charlie Sheen it was a burger w/ grilled onions, bacon, jalepenos, hot sauce (franks red hot), and american cheese. Basically it sounds like a heart burn waiting to happen if you are old, out of shape, and married. lol Well Im none of those so I ate it w/ a smile on my face. :) Decent burger I would have like to see the burger have some thickness but its one of those burgers that are thin and get that nice crisp from the flat top. Decor and Service - They have the cheezy hidden sexual sayings, which I always enjoy reading on the walls all over the place. Besides that it appears to be a husband n wife duo running the joint very nice people and handle the crowds quite well! It was lunch by myself so nothing that humurous could happen. lol

Been driving by this place for about a year now and I finally decided to stop by. It was well worth it. I got a chickenator meal. Fresh hot food, quick service, nice atmosphere. Will definitely be stopping by again.

This is the first hotdog place I am not grossed out by. Its fresh ingredients, and the relish isn't the incredible hulk kind and glowing. The staff has actually been pretty cool, I have been there twice and I already get the "hey man, good to see ya" stuff. Highly recommend if you like easy yummy food at a good price.
(4)Stephanie F.
Food took forever. It was pretty crowded though on a Friday afternoon. I had the gyro and it was ok, not even close to being great though. So, my review of this place is "meh".
(3)Tater S.
Had the kardashian dogs and fries with side of fried pickles. Very YUMMY! Only complaint. seemed all the fries in my order were shrapnel fries ( all in little pieces AND NOT SALTED. No salt packets included in my to go order. despite these little setbacks I will deffinately be back.

My boss actually showed me this place last year. Fun and quick, I think of Fatt Mustard as a guilty pleasure. The fries are a dark pile of greasy goodness. The sandwiches are big and juicy. Look around the dining room and you'll see old LP album covers from the 1970s and 80s up there. And a lot of old posters that put you in the mood to relax and have a fun bite to eat before returning to the workday.

ok the burgers are good, not sure if DDD would ever stop here. nothing too special. the service on the other hand was terrible. Me looking at menu and trying to decide what I would like when a employee , I wouldn't say yelled but forcefully asked me if I was ready to order and I responded I am still looking at the menu and she dismissed me quickly to talk with another employee that was sitting at the pick up window on break I guess. I was ready to place my order and I walked up toward the register and the employee was still chatting with the other employee and I guess she wasn't ready to take my order until she was finished talking . I placed my order for the " heart attack " burger and proceeded to pay , after she took the order she basically threw my receipt and change into my hand and quickly walked away to continue her conversation with the other employee who was on break. I ordered a soda with my meal and walked over to the pop machine and wanted ice in my cup, 4 cubes fell out and the machine was empty, I kept pressing the ice bar because it makes a loud click to engage the release for the ice at least a half dozen times while both employees are still talking at the pick up window , which is about 2 feet away. It was obvious that the machine was empty and not once did either employee ask or tell me that they would add more ice to the machine. So I mentioned to her that the ice machine was empty and she never even looked in my direction. I have a voice that can be heard and for her to ignore me was not going to happen. I then in a louder voice said " the ice machine is empty " and I would like some more ice , she replied OK and continued to talk with her other employee. 3 other customer came in while I was there trying to fill my drink. they never added ice , she never mentioned it to anyone else there to fill it so I had my soda with 4 ice cubes and I guess that all you can have there. I waited another 8 minutes for my food which was quick and she was talking the whole time I sat there and never filled or made an attempt to fill the ice . it was 1:20 in the afternoon and I understand the lunch rush but once I asked if I could have more ice I would have thought they would have filled the machine. sorry but this is not a " respect the customer " type of place I guess. if I wanted rude, and dismissive I would have went to Ed Debevics and would have expected it.

I have been going here for over two years now. Since it first opened many things have been added and improved. I've tried different things on their menu, from Sandwiches, burgers, all the chicken plates, soups, pasta Wed and salads. Salads have massively improved, I might have to get one next time I'm in. All their food is seasoned and cooked well. I pay to eat here because the food is fresh. Such as their hot dogs FRESH, not store bought processed in some plant! I'd rather pay a little more and know it's fresh than pay for something cheaper and not know when it expired. The quality of good is good. I always get a lot of food for my money, so I always have leftovers. I'm happy! The customer service is always spot on! To address the pricing again, you can always get things from the combo list. Make smarter choices when buying. I can get many dishes and be right at $7.00. Much healthier meal than going down the street to McDonalds and paying $5-$9 for a value meal loaded with crap. Just sayin! Happy Eating

What does Blago, Lohan, The Beastie Boys and Zambrano all have in common? They're all menu items at Fatt Mustard Cafe which is a burger joint with your not so typical menu. Imagine an army of french cut french fries (skin on) diving into a bath of boiling peanut oil. Anybody that knows their fries knows when it's peanut oil. Pair these fries with their special house sauce or the hanky panky sauce which tasted of a creamy mustard with a hint of curry. They take burgers and dogs and give them an upgrade such as the The Big "Opah" Burger which is what happens when a gyro and a burger has a baby. This was the first thing I tried here and it works I was also able to bear witness my coworker finishing what they call the "King Kong Challenge" which is the mother of all hot dogs. I can't even begin to start describing this monstrosity of a heart attack. I'll be back to try their other items including their paninii.

pretty generic food that tastes ok and the selections are a tad bit boring.. but the portion sizes are good and reasonably priced.. As the name suggests, please dont expect the healthiest meal here..
(3)ron k.
Their business card says "Get Fatt Today" on both sides... awesome... fries are kind of a disaster cosmetically but taste great i think they must cut them themselves... their Gyros gets a "Flawless Victory" from fat has rendered out and tastes good and as busy as this place is the meat is not old and dry when you get it... the chickenator... wow... awesome its like the matrix you can't be told what it is you have to try it... you'll know what i'm talking about when you see it... the lady that i think is the owner cares... one time i was there to pick up a carry out order had to wait forever starting to get furious cuz 15 minutes is like an eternity when ur waiting for something that should be done and i see this lady keep asking about my order and her feeling bad every time she looks at my face and she has somebody else hand me my food and hand me some discount cards and apologize to me in a way that makes me happy and come back... Class Act...

Fatt Mustard is a perfect little hot dog joint for lunch. They have kooky gourmet designer hot dogs that are named after famous people as well as the more typical staples such as Chicago style, chili dog, etc. I haven't tried the gourmet hotdogs, the staples have been good. With the special, you get two Chicago style hot dogs, really tasty fries and a drink. The dining area is packed but large. During noon ~ 1pm, you may not find a table, depending on what time you show up. The staff is really friendly, and I like the décor of the place as well. The food is spot on authentic. The hot dogs taste like Chicago style hot dogs, and fries are out standing. I don't know if they're cut fresh in the kitchen or what, but something about these fries are magical. I don't know how late they're open, but if you're craving some hot dogs, I suggest you try this place. As good as Portillo's hot dogs, if not better. Try the fries.
(4)Michael V.
Well first off, I don't eat meat, so theres very little I can order from. My first visit, I got the Greek Omlette without gyros in it. Not memorable. My second visit I got an one egg sandwich with cheese on an english muffin - pretty good but nothing to write home about. I like the idea that its not a chain and its a small business - I will always support small businesses over chains any day.
(3)Marco C.
I work in Elk Grove VIllage so Yelp helped me find this place. The Giant Gyro was the best gyro I have had in a long time. Very fast and friendly service. Interesting menu. Side note: One order of fries was split 3 ways! Hopefully I can bump them up to 5 stars on my next visit.
(4)Nick F.
Came here on a tip from a co-worker. The indeed do have the best buffalo chicken sandwhich around. Very fast and friendly service. Reasonably priced. The food is fantastic!
(5)Nick S.
Love this place. The recipes are amazing and the menu is massive. There are a few healthy options, but if you're looking to cure a hangover, look no further. The burgers, hot dogs, french fries, and sandwiches are great. I would especially recommend the Party Crashers, the Bucket Burger, the Charlie Sheen, and the Big Opah. You can't really go wrong here, there's definitely something for anyone. A friend of mine who works nearby turned me on to this place, and since then I've insisted on bringing several other friends in to try it, and not one of them disliked it. Keep an eye on the hours, they're closed Sundays and close at 3 every other day. It is probably a good thing this place isn't open late, otherwise I could see myself making several post-midnight treks here to wrap up long nights of partying.
(5)Jessica M.
I'll be honest - I had many reasons to fear this place. I'd read it was greasy, and with menu items such as The Heart Attack, Doomsday Dogs, The Charlie Sheen and The Ricky Bobby I knew I should stay FAR.AWAY. They put gyro meat on burgers. Mac n cheese on buns. Country fried steak and gravy ON TOP OF a beef patty. I mean this place is like THE ULTIMATE hangover food and I just can't bring myself to eat it when I have to return back to the office and try to function like an adult. However, the intern guys at work (bless their hearts) invited me and I decided I'd try a chicken sandwich- Blue Buffalo. I was glad it was grilled, not fried. It was good but it had jalapenos and it was then I'd realized I had made a mistake. Why, you ask? I love jalapenos, but... Canned jalapenos? Really? Who are you kidding, Fatt Mustard? Booooo. Boo I say. You got some points back with the tots. I'll be back but only because these interns are good kids and I enjoy an occasional lunch with them. If nothing else the menu will give you a good laugh- fattmustard.com/menus/me… Hold the fried Chickenator!

OMG.... this place is right by my job. I heard a couple of people talking about this place and was sort of interested. One of the managers at my job daughter's knows the owners son. I was set on going since the daughter recommended it. Holy Heaven..Im a very healthy eating person but sometimes a girl needs grease. This place is amazing. The amount of items is incredible. The cheeseburgers come with a nice warm bun and they are a very nice size burger. The serve breakfast everyday at anytime, I love breakfast! Breakfast for lunch is awesome. They also have a healthy section and a nice salad section as well.

This place is quickly becoming an office favorite since our company moved to the area a few weeks ago. Sadly, they are not ON Devon, so it's hard to tell they are even there. Being that a Fastsigns franchise is in their same strip, you would think they would have more signage at the corner of Devon and Tonne (wood dale) to direct people. Fries are stupendous. I just wish they weren't as chopped up as they are; they are kinda hard to eat. But they really are yummy. I'm not much for fries, so for me to say they are good, is a compliment. Service is great. The staff is fast and accommodating. The place is clean. And if u know me, you know I like clean. Fun decor and good food wraps it up for me. I will be back and believe me when I say, my coworkers are here almost every day. One guy I work with is bringing in their breakfast sandwich every morning now. He loves them.
(4)Buddy M.
I stopped by the place to pick up some food. It was 20 minutes until 3pm. The door was open and the open sign was on. After looking at the menu on the wall for a bit, I was told that they were closed for the day. So I could not even try the food. You just turned off someone who loves burgers to your business. Not a good idea.
(1)Ron R.
I was pretty harsh on my initial visit. This place does have decent food...not only that, it opens around 5:30 for breakfast. I was one of the few that completed the eating challenge, and I still wear my "FATT Mustard" shirt on a consistent basis. Good food!
(4)Beth G.
I really wanted to love Fatt Mustard but they're gonna have to settle for like until they try a little harder. My double bacon cheeseburger was eh, okay. The meat was more bland than anticipated, since they boast about it being their own and being made fresh daily. And the bacon? I was not a fan. Seemed kinda cheap and thin. The fries... not sure what all the raving is about, I got mostly tiny little pieces that I had to spear mass quantities of onto a fork just to dip in ketchup... where all the pieces then fell off the fork and into the ketchup. Gave up and tossed them, mostly the whole bag. They were a bit undercooked anyway. You'd think those tiny little pieces would have fried up fast. For $10, I can do a 3/4 lb burger at Dino's in Glendale Heights. And the fries are included. I will say, Fatt Mustard has the best burger in a 5 mile radius of my job. Unfortunately, as most burgers suck around my job, that's not a huge claim to fame.

Finally a place close to where we live with a great vibe and great food. This is definitely a place to bring family and friends from our of town. My kids and I laughed at all the funny pics on the walls too. Lots o food to choose from!
(4)Melissa H.
Finally a decent "newer" place in Elk Grove. The menu is creative with daily specials and their fries are to die for "nubs" perfect and a huge portion. Funny named menu items (Bradgelina, Beastie Boys dogs, mac n cheese hot dogs), made fresh to order and the burgers...well the bun kinda takes over the burger. They are "flat" worth the double though. Yes they are a bit pricey but u get what u pay for! The signs on the wall are fun to read while waiting or eating.
(4)Ann M.
Went to Fat Mustard for Breakfast WOW ordered The Trucker..amazing hash browns and lots of food!! Food is FRESH and Good Thank you for being open early for Breakfast!
(5)Daniel P.
Pricing is a bit steep for what you get. They have some interesting burger ideas but I don't think I'll be back to try any of them. Burger was just average at best and the fries while you do get a fair amount, most were crispy burnt pieces. They are natural cut skin on fries so bonus points there. Food in general was just average. I'd go again if someone really wanted to but I wouldn't seek the place out on my own. The place gets super busy around noon so plan accordingly.
(2)Ron W.
I used to come here a long time ago and one of my friends wanted to try it today for lunch after reading the reviews here. I ordered the gyro combo plate and he had the burger. The gyro itself was very good. I love the spice on the lamb meat here. Its very mild but perfect in this sandwich. The combo came with fries. These are real fries with the skins on and were overall pretty good. Now the part that hurt was that the price went up here. that combo was like $10 and I think the last time I came here it was like $8. I was going to go 4 stars but it was alittle pricey so I went 3 stars.
(3)Erick P.
I like their Gyros and that's about it. Their hamburgers are ehhh not that great and they give you ton of fries but half the time they are not cooked all the way. They are a lil bit expensive as well. I go here maybe like once every other month to grab a gyro that it's about it.
(3)Nick S.
Place is amazing. People complaining about costs going up are ridiculous. Do you live in a cave? Have you been to a grocery store? Take note in how all prices are going up. Fatt Mustard hasn't jacked up prices to further financial gain, they are doing what any of you would do if you owned a business... With that being said. GO ENJOY A BIG FAT BURGER OR ANYTHING ELSE FATT MUSTARD HAS, THIS PLACE IS LEGENDARY!
(5)Angela N.
We used to order here a lot at work and at first everything was so good. They were something different in the area and we needed that. Lately the quality has gone down but the prices have gone WAY up. I always get a hot dog, fry and a drink which is one of their meal specials....its gone up a lot. Almost $7....I would rather go to Bubby's and pay less and the quality is just as good. Sorry guys! You used to be better than this!
(3)Grant P.
Y'know those places you see on Yelp that have AMAZZING looking pictures, and great reviews and someone calls it a hidden gem and you have to try it? This isn't one of those places. We were persuaded by the reviews and the pretty pictures, but when all is said and done, this is just a regular local hot dog joint. They try to put some interesting things on their dogs, and sandwiches, but overall it's just average stuff you could make at home. Their big claim to fame seems to be the Fat Sauce, which tastes almost exactly like Red Robin's Campfire Sauce. What they do is fine. We ordered a couple of chili dogs that had mac 'n cheese on top, with bacon and whatnot. There wasn't really anything special about them. They tasted fine. They looked fine. They were fine. Don't take this review the wrong way. If I lived in the area and was craving a hot dog, I'd definitely come back. But I wouldn't make it a destination stop again. In fact, this is going to be a short review because it's just simple stuff. Service was prompt and friendly. Presentation was fine. Taste was fine. It's just not stand up and shout, eat here every week delicious. And that's okay.

I am a breakfast foodie. I love a restaurant that puts a twist on things. Now, before eating the breakfast here, I had tried a panini because it was a free lunch thanks to my workplace. Plus, I was new to the area and didn't know many restaurants in the proximity. The sandwiches are good; Greasy, but good. The fries are in fact fresh cut, but they're more like fry nuggets because most of them are so small. In my opinion, the lunch food is average at best. Back to breakfast: They have an amazing opportunity to make some bomb breakfast food. Considering they open at the crack of dawn and close just after lunch, they need to make desayuno a priority. You can order it all day, with an exception of a few items. Again, their breakfast is simply average. The omelets usually don't come out fully cooked. I've gotten pieces of egg whites that are still gooey-nasty and personally gross me out (haha). I am sorry to say this, but they're hashbrowns suck. They are completely undercooked and have no flavor what-so-ever. I understand that they are simply potatoes, but throw some spices on those suckers! Even asking for them well-done doesn't change anything; Trust me, I've asked for them EXTRA well done. I would suggest swapping the hash out with tots, if you enjoy crispy tators like myself. On a more positive note, they're country fried steak is to die for. It's delicious, fresh, and smothered in white country gravy. If you were to get breakfast there, go for the CFS, no questions asked. In the end, it's all like I said: Just average. And greasy. With horrible hashbrowns. Do I suggest trying it out? Sure, why not. Would I make it a point of interest if you're in town? Mehhh, probably not. Though, to each their own, right?
(3)V P.
Swung by here on lunch break, called in my order before hand, seperate line for pick ups which is nice. Loaded cheese fries are amazing. Busy at lunch but still made it in and out in good time. The Bart Simpson (Mac n chz with marinara ) burger wasn't the best but I will be in again to try another. Parking was a bit of a pain though, like I said, busy at lunch in a strip mall. Huge menu though and gyros! I will have to try those too
