“ Very cool spot in downtown Indianapolis. I highly recommend their Chicago dog if you love a flavorful Chicago dog. Their fries were good and the loaded tater tots were amazing. ”
“ We came to Fat Dans for the first time. Wasn’t sure what to expect, but just wanted something a little different than the norm. This place did not disappoint!! We had the Chicago dog and a burger and also got champ tots. Oh! And can’t forget the amazing fries! Everything was delicious. There’s just no other way to put it! We plan to come back plenty more times! ”
“ The wife and I were shopping and hanging out in Indianapolis and we decided to pop into Fat Dan’s for a quick beer. The place was full but not packed too tightly. We didn’t eat anything but it smelled great! I think the special was a meatloaf sandwich and I was a bit jealous because we had just eaten. The prices seems perfectly fine. Staff was fantastic and friendly. A fun vibe from a very accessible establishment. I suggest that if life’s adventure ever sends you towards Fat Dan’s Deli go in and enjoy yourself, have a drink or something to eat. You won’t regret it!! ”
“ They offer a 3 item flight for their burgers. So many good options, I had to try. Slider versions of the big sandwich. AMAZING! Wings were on point also. Very nice staff, even better food. Don't ask for ranch! ”
“ This place had such good wings we went went twice during our short stay in Indy! The wings were incredibly delicious on their own but their hot wing sauce was truly unique. It's not just the standard Franks and butter. You can tell it's homemade and it's phenomenal. If we weren't continuing to travel, we would've purchased some to bring home. They have outdoor seating and allow dogs there. Only negative, both times we went we sat at the bar with different bar tenders and both times the service to refill drinks was slow. Update: Service much improved. Good still amazing. ”
