Fatburger & Buffalo's Express

I discovered Fatburger in Elk Grove after seeing a friend's Instagram post from LA featuring a drool-worthy burger. It looked like a chain, so I was curious if we had one nearby--only to be shocked (and thrilled) to find one right here!The burgers did not disappoint. Everything was fresh, the restaurant was spotless, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. As we ate, I noticed the employees staying busy--cleaning, organizing, and keeping things in order instead of just standing around.Despite how great this place is, it was surprisingly quiet. Fatburger Elk Grove is a hidden gem that deserves more attention! If you love a good burger, do yourself a favor and check it out. We'll definitely be back!

Let me start off by saying the lady at the front was super nice and sweet so the service was great and the place was clean as well...We got 2 Western Burgers, a Double, Onion Rings, and Sweet Potatoes Fries. Hands down the worst food I've ever had smh. Takes 10 minutes to get back to work and all 3 Burgers where cold, the Onion Rings and Sweet Potatoes fries had to be laying out because they are colder than the Burgers. All the veggies in the burgers also looked wilted and old, I hate leaving bad reviews but this one deserved it sorry do better next time

Ok. When the hubs found out that a Fat Burger opened up in Elk Grove, he was set on driving the extra miles to try it out. Having grew up in LA, he is no stranger to the legendary Fat Burger. The first Fat Burger hamburger stand started in 1947 in LA. Did the Elk Grove location live up to the Fat Burger iconic burgers, chili fries, and onion rings?!? Yes, they did!We ordered two original burgers (one with cheese) with all the regular fixings, chili fries, onion rings, and fountain drinks. The burgers were 1/3 pound patties, the patties were seasoned well. Great flavors, juicy patty. But they could be more generous with the fixings. A bit more lettuce wouldn't hurt. The onion rings had a crisp batter. Yum. The chili was tasty, good flavor. Thick consistency. It's beanless. Everything was served hot. For fountain drink choices, they offer 3 iced tea flavors made with cane sugar. That scored big points with me since I can't have HFCS.They are located in a strip mall. It's counter service. The place like most eateries now have a smaller dining rooms than prior builds. May not be ideal for large group dining. The aisle leading to the restrooms and where they keep the foundation drinks and condiments is narrow. Only one person at a time can pass. And regarding pricing, it's comparable to fast food ( FF), but it ain't fast food. They actually take the time to cook the food when ordered. So don't expect FF speed. Don't get me wrong, they aren't sloooow but not drive thru fast.

Me and my wife went to fatburger for dinner. When we entered the restaurant we were greeted by staff. The staff were friendly and polite. My wife ordered the turkey burger with fat fries and a soda. She loved her burger and said the burger was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The taste of the burger was phenomenal. I ordered original burger with onion rings and soda. The burger was seasoned well, cooked to perfection and the taste was great. The onion rings were delicious and very filling. The onion rings were cooked to perfection and in my eyes were like a great drive inn onion rings. We ended the meal with chocolate chip cookie and those were simply delicious . The ambiance is customer friendly and very lively. A great place to get a good burger.

Service was incredible read prior reviews that the food was cold. My burgers also came out cold. Cheese completely unmelted and cold,Fries were good, Shakes were Amazing. Burgers were I would say on a Carls Jr level with extra toppings.

First time coming here, inside was pretty empty on a weekday evening. They had a nice seating area though and everything seemed pretty clean. We got burgers as takeout and they were made pretty quickly. Got home though (live 5 min away) and the burger-while it had a good amount of meat-was pretty dry/slightly overcooked. Regretted not getting more condiments to go. The sweet potato fries were pretty basic, lightly seasoned and slightly soft-not really crispy. Prices were average, around $9+ for a burger, $4-5 for fries. It's convenient having a burger place nearby, but I'd probably skip this one next time unless I was desperate for a burger craving.

First time here. Decided to stop and grab a bite to eat while heading to Nevada. We had our dogs with us so I ran in and placed my order, told the clerk that my husband was going to come in and order his next because we had our dogs with us, gave him our names so that he can also give my husband my order. He was totally understanding and accommodating. Once we got our food, we ate in the car and OMG! 5 star taste! The burgers were juicy and seasoned to perfection. The fries, we got both skinny and steak as well as onion rings and everything was hot and fresh. Cooked to order. Very satisfied travelers!

Came here with some friends for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. The guy who took our order was super friendly and funny and gave us the rundown of their burgers. I was surprised they have dairy free options! Both in the form of daiya brand cheese, and vegan milkshakes. The only downside was the regular milkshake was $5.99 while the dairy free milkshake was $10.99!!! FFS. Us dairy free/lactose intolerant people already can't enjoy dairy, but to up-charge so much for a vegan milkshake, sucks. Food came promptly and was flavorful. The patties were a bit greasy but it's expected with a 1/3lb - 1lb patty. The fat fries were absolutely amazing and full of soft potato insides. The onion rings were crispy but too oily for my liking. Our friends got strawberry milkshakes and said they were so good. Made me wish the vegan one wasn't nearly double the price so I could enjoy one too. The restaurant was roomy with ample seating and had 2 tvs playing sports. Regardless, I would come back when I'm craving a thick burger.

This place is awesome! It's clean, you're greeted warmly and energetically. Donald provided some killer customer service! That alone would've brought me back because you can tell he legitimately enjoys his job. The food is awesome! The burgers were juicy and we'll seasoned. The chili cheese fries were steaming hot and delicious! The milkshakes are thick and flavorful, and the wings were plump and tender. I will definitely be back! It was so good!

My first time here and I had most amazing experience! Definitely delicious burger and milk shake. Fast and friendly service ! Very very good! I was working in the area and am happy to have chosen this great spot.
