Fat Boy's Bar-B-Que Ranch

We only visit Prattville about once a year, but we always stop at the same restaurant, which says a lot because there are other places we could go. We really love the ambience because we always sit outside where we can see the creek. The food is always good, and the service as well. The only thing I could ask for is that they made their own ranch and it didn’t come out of packets. I can’t help it that I judge my restaurants by their salad dressing. However, I guess I can understand because they probably don’t do a large enough volume of business. The barbecue was amazing so it made up for it. Thank you to the owner, who was very gracious. We will be back next year.

We enjoyed everything we ordered. Brisket was moist and tender. Potato salad was creamy and great with the baked beans. Definitely recommended Fat Boys

The smoked chicken plate was very good! The absolute best tasting baked beans. The Homemade Banana Pudding - is just what it says “Homemade” delicious. Definitely recommend this place.

Delicious meals from local folks in a charming atmosphere. Wood fired aromas. Thank you!

This is some of the best BBQ I have eaten! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The workers were also very friendly.

We enjoyed our quick stop at Fat Boy's. We were greeted even before we walked in and was told about the menu when we first walked in. Gentleman, taking our order, recommended the Fat Boy's Special, which is a sampler of all the smoked meats, and you get 3 sides. The cost was 30 plus tax and water to drink. My favorites were the sausage, the ribs, and the brisket. We will definitely stop by again on our way through Prattville.

Our first visit here was great. We felt very welcome and comfortable. We ordered the combination platter for the two of us at lunch. The BBQ was delicious and the price was very reasonable for what we were given. The potato salad and Cole Slaw reminded us of what our Moms used to make. We had enough left over to have another meal for our dinner tonight. It's no surprise why everyone here in Prattville loves Fat Boy's BBQ.
