We had Fat Guys cater our son's graduation party. I cannot recommend them enough. The food was amazing! Pricing and portions were great. Ray and his crew did an awesome job, and we will definitely be using them again.

Found this place today. Food was amazing! Ribs were so good I didn't even use BBQ sauce.

This is a staple in our trips to TN. The food tastes like the Lord himself came down and blessed the meal. The portions are large, the pricing is fair, and the staff are friendly and attentive. If you are looking for food that is the definition of southern comfort food, this is the place. We had: pork, brisket, tacos, corn dogs, green beans, Texas taters, mac & cheese, and shrimp creole etouffee all of it was incredible. The owner came and talked with us about the dishes and checked on us through the meal. 10/10 Will be back again! The owner also said he would be making me some grits next time we are down!

Absolutely love this spot! The barbecue was delicious — tender, smoky, and full of flavor — but what really made the experience unforgettable was the owner’s kindness and hospitality. You can tell he puts his heart into everything here. Can’t wait to come back!

I had the brisket plate...it was excellent... sweet tea was great and a complimentary bowl of Brunswick Stew was very good ...all in all I'll visit again...

Saw a post in Facebook about this place sooooo glad we came. The ribs and brisket were AMAZING very tender and juicy. The wings are a must. Coming from Texas, I can say my family and I are HOOKED on this place. In overall, food is to die for, staff very friendly. Strongly recommend if you’re looking for home made BBQ.

We came to try based on the recommendation from a Brazilian chat group and our experience was awesome. Great brisket, chicken and potatoes. The hospitality is also nice, we will be back!

This was fantastic place to eat. A converted house in Lascassas that is a southern BBQ restaurant. There is a sweet outdoor eating section with a live band on Friday and Saturday or you can eat inside the house. We talked to the owner Mr. Ray (a cousin of Roy Clark) and heard of all of his adventures in business. With our bed and breakfast, we are going to direct visitors his way for a wonderful plate of BBQ. The portions are big as well and the banana pudding and pecan pie (both home made) are the icing on the cake, so to speak. Take an evening and go and support Mr Ray (Fat Guy) and enjoy the ambience.
