Reviews of Fat Boys Tavern & Bistro

Nice place with plenty of different dishes, a lot of BBQ option, lamb beef chicken veggie.. and many more. But also rice dishes. Many drink options a well. From alcohol to soft or milky one. It can be hard to get staff attention when you want to order.

It took a while for the servers to come and take the orders but food came out relatively fast. They open until late so if you want to drink and have a fun night with your friends come here and enjoy it.

𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐠𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐁𝐁𝐐 - 𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐲𝐨 𝐡𝐨!🍗 . It’s funny to see a gambling room 🎰 set inside of a restaurant. Fat Boys made it happen! (Although we don’t like gambling at all) The place is always busy no matter weekday night or weekends (so hard to find a seat without booking) . I wouldn’t say their skewers are all amazing, but it’s really tasty with reasonable price. Grab a beer, good amount of skewers, it’s only $30 pp. . 👍𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗻 - we just recently tasted it and felt regretful why didn’t we eat it before ?! It’s crispy , a bit sweet, not too oily. we quite like it. This time we came back for it! 👍𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲 - another reason for us came back. It’s $4(?couldn’t remember clearly) with a deep fried full chicken frame! If you are frugal with food budget, definitely go for it. The joy is tear the meat from the frame. Yum! (Couldn’t take pictures cos we were too hungry) . 👍 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗿 is really drinkable not bitter at all🍻

One of the best BBQ place to go all time! All the food are delicious. And they open until very late which is very convenient as well.

Descent food. We found price was different since there menu was changed. One thing they messed up which is reason I am giving 3 stars. We placed 2 orders 1 vegan and 1 non veg. They packed both skewers in 1 container. This place you can go late night in north shore. Which is advantage.

Always goes before my friend got pregnant 🤰, I worked in Albany 3 days a week and we went at the least twice a week. Fat boy it like our after work dinner place no matter it was 6pm or 10pm , always hot food with great service! 👍 Yes my Guinness 🍺 too 😋😋😋 yummy. Those photos was took last weekend just before third lockdown 😂😂😂 lucky us yeah 🥳🥳🥳

Heard many compliments about the food here, turned up with high expectation, but was not as exceptional as we thought, quite average. Especially our lamb skewer was over cooked. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, the skewers was definitely full of flavour. Love the eggplant, best I've ever had~ The service was not worth commenting, just don't expect anything. Although the food turned up very quickly once you ordered them. Quiet place with plenty of seating, pub style.

One of my favourite place to go to have Chinese skewers. Gotta try their chicken dish.

Great food and a awesome location. Alcohol is bit pricey but chaser's and food is very fairly priced. They also have few gaming machines in the back and kitchen is open till 2.00am.

Fantastic food and atmosphere only thing I didn't like was the people sitting outside smoking staring at me and my partner walking in

Lovely food excellent service five family for dinner.didnt have to wait longthe food taste so good thank you

Open till late, food is decent and mood is not too frantic. Great to hang out with friends

Enjoyed food over there. Great BBQ stuff. Recommend.

Wow. Quality authentic Chinese food. The kebabs here are great and the food is amazing!

Was a bit of an odd experience as the outside of the place makes it seem like a typical English pub but once inside its very different. It even has Guinness signs outside but doesn't have it on tap inside... The place was pretty sticky and unclean, and the glasses which our beers were poured into smelled a bit. It is good value though for drinks, but we didn't try the food. Mostly just weird how the outside of the place doesn't reflect the inside at all.

Great restaurant with lots of choice. Wonderful

Amazing skewers Succulent lamb and green beans are my favourite. Flounder was nicely seasoned. Best place to dine in the area in late hours. Lamb skewers and beer after work sounds good to me.

service was below average but food was great

Variety of food ,if u enjoy Asian food,good value for money.

Not as good as before. Now a bit of hit or miss. Kilkenny is good though.

Nice place! Big portions. Tasty food. Be careful when choosing the spice level of your dish))

over priced but has pokies so all good g

Skewers are yummm. Better than ahemm similar skewer place..

The BBQ skewers here are amazing. Try the flounder also. Really reasonably priced, although the synchronisation of the service could do with a little work. We ordered the hand made flat noodles (which were epic, and really long (and tasty)) but they arrived near the end of the meal, with the pan fried dumplings (also amazing) but we would have preferred them with the meat, at the start of the meal... In any case, will defs take the wife next time!

Good value bbq, very authentic spices. Also reasonably priced handles to go with it. The environment is a bit sticky tho, guess thats the bbq

I really enjoyed my time here. The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. The food was delicious and affordable and the staff were very accommodating.. If you go you must order the quality fried rice. Thanks for having us will definitely be back!.

ok food but getting bit pricy

Delicious grilled skewers. Best of all, OPEN UNTIL 2AM. Itemize your bill, could be wrong sometimes.

Wow. Top quality authentic Chinese food. Beer on tap. And open until 2am. Do places like that exist in Auckland? Yes they do! On Rosedale Road of all places. Go and try their chicken with hand pulled noodles. Or their shredded pancake with beef and egg.

Not a fine food place, but cheap and big tasty portions. Recommended if you're really hungry.

This place never disappoints. Food always good and love the chilled relaxed atmosphere. Great place to come to after finishing work and they are open till late which is an added bonus

Really good place to have a good rest after work. Food,drinks,pokes, you will love it.

Love this place good food good people damn good serving size

Just need to improvise on customer service. Food is good except the skewers meaning proper meals.

Can't go wrong with tasty $1 skewers :) neat place to hangout that stays open late. Appreciate that the music isn't super loud too so I can hear people I'm talking to.

Nice food available for late night snack dont complaint

A pleasantly surprising experience, delicious food, great portions

Open till late, they have some of the best barbeque, especially lamb skewers

슬.

Just ok with beer Tsingtao!

Convenient....Food is decent and available till late...Love their Barbeque skewers......but customer service is poor

Sometimes good sometimes bad, Different quality every time,it's like buying lottery you never know the quality until you ordered.

Huge selection of dishes - the kebabs were so good

Really nice place which opens until the wee hours. Always give me such flexibility to go and grab some nice food in late hours.

Great Food and reasonable prices! Opens til late so it's a good place to hang out with friends.

😋

Old type of bar and good chicken but I just wanted to try the pokies out.

Love this place good food good people damn good serving size

Fast service and so much great food to choose from, also recommend the beef tounge

Only place that open late night Kimchi fried chicken is the bomb

The food and service is good, but the menu isn't easy to decipher, and the interior is a little cluttered. We enjoyed our time there.

Taste is good, amount of food also good. Affordable price.

BBQ is awesome. recommend

Good price, good asian BBQ place with great tap beers.

great food.. place could be a lot cleaner and tidier..

You get what's expected, foods are good for the price. The place to go when you want heaps of food after drinking or work.

Late drinking and food. Sometimes feels a bit rough round the edges but nice friendly joint and good cheap food in this reviewers opinion.

Very good. Would definitely recommend.

Nice bar fit out.. Great selection of beers on tap and sport coverage. Staff are friendly

My fav place to eat cant go wrong with dumpling and $1 kebabs

Always a good place for a good and quick dinner....... till late

Just $1/ lamb kebab skewer ! tastes great with low price, highly recommended !

Auckland No. 1

So tasty !!!!

Tasty foods.

The food 😍

Nice place for small food and great for sharing

(Translated) I found the feeling of a domestic food stall. The amount of fried noodles is really enough. The 8 pieces of leeks are too small. The grilled corn is seriously inconsistent with the picture, but the taste is really nothing (Original) 找到了国内大排档的感觉，炒面份量真的很足，韭菜这一点8块感觉太少，烤玉米跟图片严重不符，但是味道真的没话说

奥克兰最好吃的烧烤店，没有之一，这家比brikenhead那家好吃一点，推荐点鸡脆骨，超级香

(Translated) The skewers are small and dry, the saliva chicken is a little stale (Original) 烤串儿很小比较干口水鸡稍微有点不新鲜

(Translated) A good drink bar run by Chinese people I can’t expect a heavenly taste, but it seems that the cost performance is good, especially lamb skewers (Original) 중국분들이 운영하는 술한잔 하기 좋은 바 천상의 맛을 기대 할수는 없지만 그래도 가성비는 좋은듯 특히 양꼬치

新.

(Translated) The service attitude is very good. Our order was lost on the platform. After finding it back, the restaurant took the initiative to call back to inform. It was very heartwarming and highly recommended (Original) 服务态度特别好，我们的订单在平台丢失了，找回后餐厅这边还主动打电话回来告知，特别暖心，强烈推荐

(Translated) A particularly delicious barbecue restaurant, especially the beef glutinous rice, which is so tender as dried tofu, amazing ~ the beef glutinous rice that I have eaten before is very hard and difficult to chew. I will visit it often in the future, which is why there are in the comments. Bad comments, peers deliberately black? Haha (Original) 特别好吃的烧烤店啊，尤其牛板筋，居然嫩到像豆腐干，惊艳～以前吃过的牛板筋都特别硬，很难嚼，以后会常去的，就是评论里为啥会有不好的评论，同行故意黑？哈哈

(Translated) Delicious mutton skewers big plate chicken (Original) 好吃的羊肉串大盤雞

(Translated) The menu in this restaurant menu is very comprehensive and the craft is also good. As a barbecue restaurant is already good, some decorations just entered the door are very good, but now the owner did not keep them well, some dirty, and there are 1/4 in the store Piled up with debris, it seems messy and untidy, I hope the owner can improve, keep the business well, don't bother to do the work because you have already made money! (Original) 这家餐厅菜单里面的菜式很全面手艺也不错，作为一家烧烤店已经不错了，刚刚进入门口的一些装饰很不错，可惜现在店主没有把它们好好保持，有些脏，另外店堂里面有1/4堆满杂物，显得凌乱不整洁，希望店主能改进，把生意做好保持下去，別因为已经赚钱了就懒得费心不去做门面工作!

(Translated) The reception is very warm and the dishes are also very rich (Original) 前台接待很热情，菜品也很丰富

(Translated) Very good restaurant, barbecue is very delicious. (Original) 蛮不错的餐馆，烧烤挺好吃的。

(Translated) I had a barbecue with a few friends in the evening, the food tasted great (Original) 晚上和几个朋友一起来吃烧烤，餐品味道棒极了

(Translated) It's delicious, grilled lamb chops are definitely recommended. Xiaogui (Original) 很好吃，烤大羊排绝对推荐。就是小贵

(Translated) Nice to have a lot of free parking (Original) 무료 주차장 많아서 좋음

(Translated) Good food and service, it’s a friends drinking party (Original) 好吃服务也好，是个朋友喝酒小聚

(Translated) Great place for a drink. The meals are cheap, but not bad and the quantity is great. (Original) 술 한 잔 하기 좋은 곳. 식사도 저렴한데 나쁘지 않고 양도 많네요

(Translated) Chicken skin egg porridge, saliva chicken, skewer, the owner is very good, a rare meeting place on the North Shore (Original) 鸡肉皮蛋粥，口水鸡，撸串，老板人很好，北岸不可多得的聚会场所

梁.

(Translated) The skewers taste good, I have been to parties many times (Original) 烤串味道不错，聚会来很多次了

杨.

(Translated) The taste of grilling is very good, fried cakes, fried noodles, fried rice taste the same, but fried cakes are highly recommended (Original) 烧烤的味道很好，炒饼、炒面、炒饭的味道都一样，但十分推荐炒饼
