Fat Heads Saloon

The last visit to Fatheads was in 2003. A stumbling lad who stumbled into this eatery with a silly notion to be quenched. Is it true them damn samwiches is as fat as my head. To my utter joy the cholesterol raced through my veins lubricating all sorts of divine enchantments to the wonders that be still a beating heart. I was alive then and daggonit that Fat Italian sandwich delivered delight. Many moons had passed and in 2025 I found myself in Pittsburgh, PA a stones throw from a mountain of memories. I convinced my wife to let us go and off we went. I entered the establishment that I had been craving for two decades and found myself transported back in time to that season of decadence and delightful abandonment. The sights, the smells, the food oh the fragrance of long forgotten days that began at 7am and ended at 3am. Rested after a night sleep i ordered the Fat Italian once again. My souls thirst had been quenched my deliverer of flavors. The meat so thick, so poignant, so unmistakable Pittsburgh with its bold outpouring of a simple idea. Work hard play hard live for eternity the yokes removed from my tastebuds. The hard boiled eggs perfectly light and fluffy with texture. The rosemary mayo an ode to herbology. Maybe I was a small town girl on a Saturday night dancing like a maniac 20 years ago but here at a proper lunch hour I sat back and feasted and relived that small little portion of a time travelers fable where I touched that time long since forgotten and enjoyed this treat as time stood still. Fates abatement struggles to endure but I am nothing short of satisfied that like the very blessed union of our souls this establishment endures!I did get too excited to eat it that I forgot to snap a pic.

One of my favorite spots in the city I somehow forget about! Portions are huge so be prepared. While the sandwiches are what they are known for, I always get the whole wings. They melt in your mouth and always hit the spot. The draft list is unrivaled as a great place to grab an out of the box beverage. Check em out!

Amazing local bar with friendly staff and delicious food!!!First time visiting Fat Heads Saloon and enjoyed every minute of it. It was trivia night on Tuesday at 7pm and anyone can join the game. Bartenders were friendly and had quick service even though they were very busy. The environment was very causal. They have a wide selection of beers, ciders, wine, and seltzers plus can make any cocktail. I ordered the Caramel onion & mushroom burger with French fries, the meat was cooked just how I like it medium well and the fries were cooked from scratch. They also have flights (5oz each) available for you to try different drinks. Highly recommend if your in the area to check them out! (:

What can I say about this Pittsburgh institution that hasn't already been said? They'd been around since the 90s and have stood the test of times. They've watched all the bars and restaurants around them change hands and names multiple times. If you're looking for a humongous sandwich that is delicious and you'll have a hard time finishing, than this is your spot. They've always got an insane beer selection and their bartenders make some pretty interesting cocktails as well. Drop in to watch a game or just chat with friends at the bar. It's always a good time at FatHeads!

On this visit there were 9 of us and the female server was jumping like an elf at Christmas. Oh wait it is Christmas so obviously the service was impeccable and the food was equally as great. I had the Steak hoagie and it was loaded with peppers of all varieties. The mushroom appetizers were decent but the loaded fries more than made up the difference. I absolutely highly recommend this warm and comforting establishment in Sus side part of Pittsburgh.

First time ever at Fat Heads. Was not disappointed. Little bit of a wait, but helped myself to a nice cold Crumble Berry beer while waiting for our table to be called.Tried the Expert Pastrami Headwich and it was great. Huge sandwich stuffed with pastrami, hot sausage, egg, onion, pickle, etc. Had a side of fries with some spicy ranch which was tasty as well.Overall, great dinner. Great service. Our waitress Gia was amazing especially with how busy it was!I will be back Fat Heads...

We were underwhelmed. Our server was nice and attentive. But another server was rude. The food portions were quite large. The best thing we had was the onion rings. The salad was good, but I didn't care much for the chicken. It's a dive-y spot with a plentiful menu of drinks and food. I think we were just there on the wrong night and didn't order the best from their menu?

Large portions, fast service and casual atmosphere.Food is consistent and they offer many options.

Italian hoagie and burger and fries were really good! The chips didn't seem like there was any salt in them so they were a little disappointing unfortunately.Service was good and we were seated immediately! Noise levels were good inside and the interior was a saloon atmosphere.

Food was really good. I was bummed I couldn't get the Codfather so I ordered the house smoked whole wings and the Pittsburgh salad instead. Don't get this salad if you're counting calories it's got cheesy French fries on it I ordered takeout so it wasn't as fresh when I got to eat it so I'm sure I'd give 5 stars if I ordered and ate at the restaurant. I will order from here again!
