Fat Willy's Rib Shack

Already missing the flavor?!? Well, we’ve packaged up some of our amazing original BBQ sauce for you to purchase. $8 a pint. (Regular only.)

Thanks so much for the love and support you’ve shown us over the last week. You’ve overwhelmed us!!! In fact, with the numerous walk-ins and extensive online business, we’ve been having trouble getting to the phones. If you’re really craving some of our smoked BBQ one last time, we recommend that you pay us a visit and place your order in person. That will also give us a chance to see your faces and give you our thanks for giving us 19 wonderful years in which to serve you! (Please note, due to the high volume of business, food prep is taking much longer than usual, as well.) We thank you for your continued patience and all of your good wishes! - The Fat Willy’s Staff

It’s with deep gratitude and a true shade of sadness that we are announcing our closure at the end of this month. Sunday, September the 27th, will be our last day of operation. We have been serving the neighborhood for 19+ years and we have been humbled and honored to serve so many incredible guests. Many of you became a special part of our lives and it was an amazing thing to feed you all. We will miss our restaurant guests and employees. We all look forward to a renewed and brighter future.
