Fat Patty's near Marshall University gave me a fatty

Fat Patty's has a very diverse menu. They cater to the meat eaters and the vegetarians. Though they have something for everyone let's get to the inspiration for the namesake. Fat Patty's serves one of those burgers that when you first bite into it you have a vision similar to the climax of "Ratatouille". It takes you back to the first great burger that you ever had. In this case my burger was a vampire slayer.

I tried the Vampire Killer. It was cooked to order and done so masterfully. It was perfectly seasoned and the garlic had a very solid presence. The patty upon first bite was a welcome combination of savory and juicy garlic goodness. The burger patty is large enough to satisfy most and not too large to leave the diner in a catatonic state of bliss though the flavor might be capable of doing so. The french fries were fresh and the beer batter was perfectly balanced and not overpowering. The deep fried mushrooms were some of the best I have ever had and will be a staple on future visits. Even better is if you eat there Tuesdays from 5-10 PM the burgers are buy 1 get 1 free.

The atmosphere is very nice and the service was excellent. Fat Patty's is obviously decorated with a variety of Marshall University memorabilia. The parking leaves something to be desired so you might want to avoid peak hours. Check back in for future visits as I try one of the other specialty burgers and the wings.
