Thus part of me was excited it happens sometimes) when I stumbled upon the chain near the pedway entrance to Churchill station from City Centre mall. Right next to the mammoth Christmas tree on display. Walking in one gets a real polished vibe. It appears somebody thoroughly enjoys deep, shinny reds, reflection-baring blacks, corrugated metal and some neon signs thrown in for good luck. One would figure this wouldn 't work on paper, but it 's lovely inside particularly if one enjoys a commercialized version of a 50 's diner. After working with an auctioneer style of order taker, the California burger $7.99) and yam fries $4.99) called to me. The burger was good, but lacked any kind of wow factor. Though lack of wow is by no means a technical description, lets just say I am having trouble understanding why I would go out of my way to seek a Fatburger save convenience. With such an influx of restaurants in the biz of putting out premium burgers, one really need to grab the customer 's attention. Why not focus on making a killer guacamole spread for the Californian to give it some pop. It wasn 't bad, I just expected more.

Had my first Guacamole burger ever very nicely prepared and exceed my expectation. Keep up the good work. read more Had my first Guacamole burger ever very nicely prepared and exceed my expectation. Keep up the good work.

The burgers here are good although the patties I find are a bit on the thin side. They come out very flavorful thankfully and in all my times eating here I have never had an issue with a burger being overdone. They always seem to have fresh ingredients as well which I can appreciate as runny tomatoes and wilted lettuce are big sins in my book. Fries have always been on the crispier side on all my visits which is great for me as that is how I like mine done but if you don't like a bit of a crunch with your fries your likely to take issue. They do offer some other things on the menu as well but I recommend sticking to the burgers. On one visit I had the chicken Caesar salad and the lettuce and chicken appeared to be drowning in a lake of dressing. Wait times here for me have averaged about 10-15 minutes which I think is alright considering they are a notch above typical fast food. Refills on pop are free and they have a pretty good selection available but they don't let you pump your own ketchup which is a pet peeve of mine as I love ketchup. This place isn't fantastic but it isn't bad and it's definitely one of the better spots to sit down and grab a bite in City Center
