| - I can't believe that I've waited so long to try Fat Head's! I think I was secretly or subconsciously protesting the demise of Danny Boy's market and avoiding going here. That was clearly a mistake and thankfully, I've corrected it.
Our meal started off with a pint of the Blueberry Ale. Great aroma and subtle blueberry taste. The fresh berries floating in the beer were a bit strange, but as I bit into one, it totally worked with the beer. And, they kept rising and sinking in the beer like a lava lamp, so that was pretty cool.
My second pint was the house Hefeweizen and was delicious. Subtle hints of cloves and banana made this perfect.
My sidekick and I split an order of Smokhouse wings and they were tremendous. Whole wings, drums, the other part, and the tips are all attached. They were meaty, with a rich, smoky flavor, and a zesty sauce.
I decided on one of the sandwiches, appropriately called "Headwiches" as they really are the size of your head. I selected the Paul's Pro Pastrami, a great combo of nice, fatty pastrami with hot sausage, a fried egg, cheese, onions, pickles and a zippy mayo, all on a bun that was reminiscent of a Mexican "torta." Nice crust, soft inside, but it doesn't fall apart or suffer from "sloopage" (a Sniglet for when the food falls out of the bun) as you eat it. The house-made crisps on the side were crunchy and salty and the perfect side.
The bar area is very nice with enough TV's so you can watch the game, but for some reason, there was no audio. They were playing the "K-Tel Soft Rock Classics" collection or something like that...not sure what's up with that. The dining room is very big, lots of tables, all within viewing distance of TV's as well, but I was surprised at the huge amount of kids running around. It's a bar, people! Take your kids to Chuck E. Cheese, for crying out loud!
Fat Head's is a great place!
