If you've ever seen a show at the Wiltern, the Palladium, or really any Hollywood venue(yes, even the Bowl), you've been here. And you know how much that big ass sandwich hits at the post-game. I've destroyed their Fat Jerry on more occasions than I can count. I've sat slouched over and drunk outside its open-face promenade on occasions I wish I could count but can't remember. I've fought to park in those classic-LA spots a million times. I know only good things in this place.
At Fat Sal's Deli, be ready for an amazing trip through a flavor-filled heaven. This venerable restaurant has established a famous reputation for creating decadent, extravagant sandwiches that redefine pleasure. Now let's discuss the sandwiches. Every culinary wonder at Fat Sal's is skillfully prepared to sate even the most voracious appetites. A crowd favorite, the "Fat Jerry" consists of a massive stack of roast beef, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, fries, and brown gravy sandwiched between two soft Italian bread pieces. It's a taste and texture symphony that will blow you away. Fantastic! Every mouthful tasted of everything. I was unable to complete the other half. It can therefore be shared. I prepared it for my next day's work lunch. Try the "Fat Texas BBQ," which comes with two slices of Texas toast stuffed with smoked brisket, macaroni & cheese, onion rings, and barbecue sauce if you're feeling very daring. It's an untidy masterpiece that honors Texas's robust culinary traditions. Will return if I'm ever in the region! I went with the wheat wrap version of the chicken bacon ranch. There were only two other parties. In Los Angeles, having parking in front and on the side is very convenient. The delicious aroma of freshly baked bread, melted cheeses, and sizzling meats greets you as soon as you step in. The staff is courteous and upbeat, and they are happy to help you navigate the menu of delectable offerings.
Actually amazing. Since we went I've been really wanting to go back. Everything we got was great and really packed with flavor. Hard choice when looking at the menu because everything sounded good. We ordered online and the food was ready by the time we got there. Guy working the counter was super cool and even though we got takeout, the place was clean and next time we will probably eat there. We got the OG Fat Sal, the Fat Bahn Mi-Ki the Buffalo chicken fries and the Samoa shake. Every one of those was worth a repeat! But I also want to try everything else!!!! Good problem to have and can't wait to go again.
First time in, food was great, staff was super friendly. We got sandwiches, fries and shakes. Great lunch spot,
I have been going here for years now because this place serves my favorite sandwiches. There's so much stuff in the sandwich I love it. I always recommend the Fat Jerry as it comes with ribeyes
Great place for a burger or sandwich! BBQ chicken is great! Solid tots! Large portions!
My first time at Fat Sal's last week. I've seen photos and heard great things so it's been on my list to try whenever I was starving. After much back and forth, I went with the Fat Bodega. I gotta be honest, Fat Sal's was on a diet when he made my sandwich because it wasn't too fat. I'll be adding more meat next time. Fries were perfectly seasoned, and the Fat Sal sauce is major key. I'll be coming back and making sure my sandwich needs a visit from Dr. Now! #IYKYK
Ordered a fat Jerry and it did not disappoint. The fat sandwich has a little bit of everything in it. Perfect for someone who loves to have variety. If I bite on the right side of the sandwich, I'm eating rib eye steak with french fries. If I bite in the middle, I'm eating chicken fingers with some bacon, and if I'm biting the left side, I'm getting a mozzarella stick with some fried egg. Such a surprise in each bite. Love it! I would get it again :)
Superior service, LA vibes and good food. This was my first visit to Fat Sal's after driving by 1000x. I didn't know what to order and took a chance on the Italiano and fries. The fries were super soggy and the Italiano wasn't my favorite after only two bites. I asked to change my order and they were really accommodating. They suggested to either order well done fries or tots. I ordered tots and a philly cheesesteak. I thought both were really filling and flavorful. Hard to go wrong with tots and the sandwich was more my speed.
