I definitely recommend eating at fat ham. From food to service the night was impeccable. Make sure you give yourself 30 mins of wait time because the restaurant is small so seating is tough at times. Also order the hot chicken for 2 people max to share, you will not regret it. Great New Years eve dinner!

restaurant had a great atmosphere. Food was pretty good but they need to lay off the salt on the chicken and hmthe Mac and cheese. It's kinda on the expensive side. Would recommend to a friend

When my wife and I sat down, the server told us we would get EVERYTHING ON THE MENU. He even went so far as to repeat it. The menu had 4 first course selections, 4 second course selections, and one desert selection. Our first thought was that we would get 1 first course, 1 second course, and desert for the price fix of $30. But we got EVERYTHING for that price. What a bargain, as everything was great. Check out the menu online. You get EVERYTHING on their Sunday Special.

Pretty much ordered one of everything for the four of us on the server's recommendation that we each get 3-4 of the small plates. We especially liked the hot chicken. Left full and extremely happy. Great food and great service.

Sbraga is our favorite restaurant. We were so excited to try Fat Ham. We were disappointed. Just a marvelous restaurant. Not a disappointing dish. Very friendly staff. Great great place.

We dined at Fat Ham several times in the past and always enjoed the experience. This time I tried the fried chicken and can honestly say it was the best I've ever eaten, sorry Mom. Only regret, I didn't try it sooner! Cornbread and shrimp and grits were excellent. Our server, Mike did a fantastic job. Continuing to explore the whiskey selections. Great meal and just plan fun at a reasonable price. Did try the sour beer, but not something I would drink and if you like it, then you can enjoy mine.
