Went to Fat Baxter's for the first time and loved it! We got three appetizers, the pretzel bites, Baxter Balls and Slut Tots, and they were all delicious! For entrées, I got a cheeseburger and my partner got wings. We brought home a lot of it, the portions are very generous. Parking was easy, with plenty of off-street parking spots. The service was fast and accurate! They accept all major credit cards. The general feel of this bar/grill is like "local meetup." I feel like the the staff knew a lot of the other customers, and there were regulars. Very fun atmosphere! This place is also very affordable, we would've spent so much more for this much food in Short North! We'll definitely go back!

Can't beat this place. Period. Best brat I've had in eons.The owners are consummate professionals and they truly care about their business and the clientele. They are also always present and they take ownership of their business in a way I almost never see.Can't speake highly enough about this place.

Went here at a friends suggestion after we put off the indy trip til later. Baxters is small, cozy and comfortable. The crowd that shows up is blue collar, but i did see some white collar guys there. It is reminiscent of southern ohia, where i am from , and the timeline i grew up in. If you get your feelings hurt easily, you might want to stay away (although everyone is accepted) The crowd is amazing, the owner is amazing and the food is especially amazing! P.s., did i mention how amazing it is?

Fat baxters says it's open until 1pm on a Thursday I got here at 10 and it's closed. They need to get their time together on the yelp app.

OMG Good...!!!Fat Baxter's is now one of our favorite places.Atmosphere - a local watering hole, but very clean inside with nice customers and great service. The parking lot and neighborhood seem plenty safe.Food - delicious. Fantastic. extensive menu. The food is exceptional.Drinks - we went for lunch, so didn't drink. But drink prices were cheap and the regulars looked very happy.This is a GREAT FIND in the Hilltop/Franklinton neighborhoods. Can't wait to go back...!!!

I will preface this by saying I really really think the food here is pretty good, I come in fairly frequently tip pretty well and still receive pretty poor service. There's only so many times you can come into place and see the bartender or server attend to everyone, but you And not wonder "is this like...racial?"

This is a locals place. It is also more of a bar than a restaurant. Based on the reviews, I was so excited to try the food. Unfortunately we walked in the door and all the tables were full. There wasn't anyone to greet us so we walked around and then walked out. We were clearly out of place and didn't feel welcome. The regulars must leave the great reviews.

This place where I am from would be called a "hole in the wall" but don't let that nickname deter you from eating here! The food was delicious! I didn't get a picture of the pretzel bites because they were gone so fast!! Everyone was so polite. Seemed as if everyone knew everyone and they were all so nice!!! The service was impeccable! The best we have had in a long time! Highly recommended!
