Fat Dan's Deli

I love Fat Dans and have been coming here for years now. No matter what you get it's always fresh and delicious. Can't beat a cheeseburger and Old Style with a side of fries. Great place to watch the game whether Butler, Bears, etc.

We love Fat Dan's! The vibe is really chill and the staff is always friendly and helpful. We love the loaded tots and I always get the Brisket. This is a spot we often take please who visit from out of town because it's consistent and delicious.

Showed up trying to kill some time with a craving for a burger and a beer. Saw the menu and immediately changed my mind. There's a lot on the menu that sounded great but I ended up pulling the trigger on a house smoked reuben with fries. The fries are addicting. So addicting I considered ordering more to go but I couldn't muster up a way to reheat them without losing the magic. There's random sides of a potato mixed in with like what you'd see in waffle fries. Little treasures like finding an onion ring in your fries as a young kid. The reuben had the thickest cut corned beef I've seen. The beef is the star on this bad boy, not overwhelmed with sauce or kraut. I think the thick cut beef helps hold the sandwich together better since it isn't a mountain of piled up meat equating to a lopsided sandwich. The food came out quick. Fries were fresh af and piping hot. Definitely coming back. There is too much on the menu that caught my eye not to.

The game changer at Fat Dan's is they have the option to do have tater tots and half fries. As someone who loves fries but has a significant other who is all about tots this has been an easy "non compromise" choice for us! Their wings are always spot on and we love the smokiness of the wings. Their dijon honey mustard is fantastic and I would recommend for both the mini corn dogs and the wings. This is a proud Chicago bar, be ready for that if it matters to you. Sports on TV, ensuring Chicago sports are the forefront.

We used to live in Bloomington, so we are very familiar with Fat Dans. And this location is no different - *chefs kiss*! While we always mix up the entree, my husband and I order ONE order of the most perfect fries, to share (it's a giant order). The smoked wings are some of the best I've ever had and my husband enjoyed his Italian Sausage. You really can't go wrong here, and it's so affordable!

By farrrrrr the best wings in Indianapolis and it's not even close. They smoke their wings and they are completely fall off the bone. House made hot sauce is incredible. 10/10. I highly recommend going there as it is a great little bar with an awesome outdoor patio when it's warm. But I have also ordered wings to go many times and the quality does not change

Food: The burger was by far my favorite! Ribs were moist. Wings were good smoked but I think I just prefer mine fried. Beer cheese fries were good. They're creamy and very filling. They have no ranch in the facility so don't ask. lol. It's a running joke at the establishment. Service: Very good. Attentive but not overwhelming.Ambiance: Pretty good parking availability. Outdoor seating available. Tables and high bar seats available. I like how this location can open up the "garage doors" so it's open air. Makes for a nice ambiance on a really good summer day.

Enjoyed a Sunday outing at Fat Dan's Deli on College Ave. As an avid sports fan, I loved the sports memorabilia and the many TVs for watching games. Although depicted as a sports bar, it is family friendly restaurant. I selected the dirty tots and smoked chicken wings. My goodness, the food was delicious with a yummy smoky taste. I loved that their sauces are made in-house.The downside of this visit was the not-so-friendly waitress. I am chalking it up to her possibly having had a bad day, as she wasn't friendly with the other guests around us either.

Great burger and I thought the side of chips instead of fries added a nice crunch to my meal. Oddest thing was that they don't offer ranch as a condiment. I would recommend for a quick lunch or dinner for sure

Fat Dan's smoked wings are an Indianapolis treasure! The restaurant has multiple offerings from their smoker including the wings, ribs, brisket, pork, and meatloaf (Wednesdays only). They don't have ranch - opt for one of their delicious house sauces instead: FD's Hot, Hot BBQ, BBQ, Garlic Dijon, Teriyaki, Blue cheese, Honey Dijon, and/or hot cheese. You can also get a classic Chicago dog, Italian beef (dipped, please, sweet and hot peppers), a selection of burgers, a pressed Cubano, and other delicious bar food. Get the fries and share with your friends. Food comes out on a big paper for the table and individual boats for the different items ordered. Rolls of paper towels are available on each table, contributing to the laid back, sports bar atmosphere. They have a solid selection of beers on tap as well. Fat Dan's is such a staple and the smoked wings keep me coming back!
