I have eaten at many Fatz's throughout the Southeast and figured I'd stop in for a bite. \n\nI'll get the service aspect out of the way, always excellent. Prompt, courteous and they don't hover. Drinks stayed full and our server was very friendly.\n\nThe food was meh. Nothing special, but not terrible either. I had the \"seabreeze\" spinach salad with chicken and warm bacon dressing. It arrived exactly as described on the menu with the \"new age\" stuff to put on salads these days i.e. candied pecans, cranberries etc...and it was good.\n\nOne of the drawbacks of going somewhere for such a long time, and many locations at that is you can see the degradation of the quality of what they're serving. My wife had the calabash shrimp which used to be fairly decent size shrimp that at least tried to be fresh and plump. What we got yesterday was no different than Long John Silvers....small, overly fried and iodine tasting. My little one got the calabash tenders which are nothing different than the tenders you get somewhere like Chic Fil A. They do a great job of promoting it as something different, but it's not.\n\nFor the money, Fatz is overpriced IMO. When you have a regional chain like this you need to do something extraordinary to set yourself apart. Fatz misses this mark."^^ .
