The name of this establishment is an oxymoron like Jumbo Shrimp, and Anaheim Ducks Hockey. You can't be Skinny and Fat at the same time right? Some guys are coming close! The concept of this restaurant is very original. Create two distinct menus that appeals to foodies of all types. The health conscious and the zero f***ks given camp. Guess what I am!? Exactly, my time at SkinnyFATS was spent browsing the fat portion of the menu. I did do a quick browse of the healthy side and to be honest there was some items that I would order like the TBLT. For the gordo's the choices are plentiful. I ended up splitting 2 dishes The CHIX on Broadway and the Sweet Cheese Us. The CHIX on Broadway had to be the best chicken sandwich I ever had. The fried breast was enormous and spilled over the sides of the bun. It was crunchy, tasty, crispy. It was a sensory overload for my taste buds. The Sweet Cheese Us was very good as well, but the CHIX was the star of my meal that day.
The location is off strip and in an industrial part of town. It is very accessible for those that are leaving Vegas and headed back towards LA since it runs parallel to the 15 freeway. Seating can be a problem, its very small and is first come first serve. Not a place for a huge gathering. If you have time while in the Las Vegas area definitely check this place out. For the type of food you are getting this place is an exceptional value.
Pros:
- Parking
Cons
- Can be hard to find.
- Small seating area
- Can get crowded and can cause long wait times
