Fat Patties - Four Thumbs Up

We drove by Fat Patties on a number of previous trips to Land's End and mused at the name but kept driving. Our timeline last week placed us in front of Fat Patties at dinner time. There was a minor debate about eating burgers while we were in the heart of seafood country, but we reasoned that eating sooner rather than later would put our hunger to rest and make the last leg of the journey bearable. The restaurant was recently featured on the food network--and declared to have the best hand-crafted burgers--which made a trial run extra compelling.

Hit the brakes, "we're stopping this time."

The menu is filled with All-American fare, including grass-fed beef, prepared for gourmet taste. When is the last time you were offered a peach bellini at a hamburger joint? And, please don't underestimate the lowly tater tot, especially when handmade, deep-fried, and served with blue cheese, candied pecans, and thinly shredded apple slaw. The combination of flavor--splendido!

My family chef and I give Fat Patties four thumbs up.

There are two locations in South Carolina, one in Beaufort and the other in Bluffton. http://fat-patties.com/fat-patties-menu/

Try it; we're pretty sure you'll like it. We plan to revisit as often as possible.
