| - I've been meaning to get to Fat Head's since it opened a couple of months ago. I drive by the former Danny Boy's Farmer's Market everyday on the way to work and had been watching with great interest as the renovation progressed over the last couple of years.
The doors finally opened to the public recently, but the frequent crowds were pretty good at keeping me from completing my mission. As it turns out Sunday afternoon was a great time to visit this surprisingly large establishment.
I'm not a drinker, so I can't speak to the beer that seems to be the main reason to visit, but I can say the selection was impressive.
Prior to visiting, I had checked out the Pittsburg location's menu online and was interested to see what changes were in store for the Cleveland one. Most of the items were carried over, with a few nods to our fair city (the Parma Karma, etc.).
The food was great. Incredibly large sandwiches stuffed full of deliciousness, accompanied by homemade chips (or fries with burgers). After much deliberation and a lot of hemming and hawing, I settled on the Bay of Pigs Cuban sandwich, and was glad I did. Lots of pulled pork, ham, cheese, and pickles with honey mustard and a very hot "killer sauce". Not pressed, like your usual Cuban, but delicious none the less.
The gf had the Euclid Avenue burger, which was pretty much a standard cheeseburger, but she was really happy with it, remarking on how well the meat was seasoned. The chips and fries were very good, but nothing you couldn't find at most places. They do, however, compliment the excellent sandwiches.
We plan on returning, as we barely made a dent in the menu, but it may take a while until the evening crowds subside. I suggest you make it a point to stop in as well, if you are a sandwich person, I suspect you will not be disappointed.
