Never got a chance to try it - and we almost stopped by there last week. Oh well, as others have said, plenty of other good places for burgers here.

I was a loyal fat burger customer for a long time when there was one close to me in west hollywood. when i found this one here in SA, i only went about 2-3 times because i've always found fat burgers to be expensive. i also think that there are better burgers avbl here in SA. take chester's for example. finding the location was also a challenge at first.

I would take Texas Hamburger Co. over Chesters any day. The thing about FB is that you could get a fried egg in your burger. I would order a King Burger with a fried egg. Mmmmm!!

The last time I went to Fatburger about a month ago, I ate in from about 11:30-12:30 and only saw one other customer come through the door. This was a weekday. I'm sure the location didn't help but I can confirm that they weren't too busy. At least toward the end.

I live right by the Fat Burgers location and had been there a few times, but was never that impressed. Better than fast food burgers like McDonald's, but I'd rather eat a burger from Chris Madrid's or Long Horn Cafe.

It could have been the location, but Papouli's is always packed. But, as several people have pointed out, there's a lot of burger competition, not so many Greek places!

I think I even prefered a Murf's Better Burger to Fat Burgers, since I intentionally had to drive over to the one San Pedro simply because I wanted one. Upon reflection, Yeah, Murf's was better.

Correction: Is better.
