My husband and I have been to eat here three times now and have been blown away by the food and service every time. He has severe Celiac disease and every server we've had so far has been incredibly knowledgeable about the safety precautions the kitchen takes as well as what foods he could eat/what alterations could be made/etc. This last visit we had the sweetest waitress named Evelyn who not only made us feel very confident in the food's safety but went above and beyond, bringing us extra forks and napkins (as I was eating food containing gluten) and boxes ahead of time, anticipating our needs. She even was kind enough to prepare my fries celiac-friendly and separate from my burger so that my husband could eat my leftovers. Amazing staff, atmosphere, and food. Couldn't recommend more.

We love Fatheads. They have so many celiac friendly options. Nothing like a burger and fries to finish out the weekend.

Man, it's been a while (at least 15 years) since I've been to Fat Heads! I was in the Burgh and was heading back to Columbus at rush hour and decided instead of sitting in traffic, get wings. Only 1 place came to mind. Sat at the bar, ordered a Jungle Juice, 10 Spicy Parm and fries. I forgot how much I loved these things! These wings literally set the expectation level for wings my whole life. Large and meaty, just the right amount of heat, and covered in parm. The hot sauce and cheese combined into this addicting and unique wing that only Fat Heads has. The fries were perfectly crispy and the portion was huge. Man I miss this place! I'll have to come back and try the other sauces I used to get.

The last visit to Fatheads was in 2003. A stumbling lad who stumbled into this eatery with a silly notion to be quenched. Is it true them damn samwiches is as fat as my head. To my utter joy the cholesterol raced through my veins lubricating all sorts of divine enchantments to the wonders that be still a beating heart. I was alive then and daggonit that Fat Italian sandwich delivered delight. Many moons had passed and in 2025 I found myself in Pittsburgh, PA a stones throw from a mountain of memories. I convinced my wife to let us go and off we went. I entered the establishment that I had been craving for two decades and found myself transported back in time to that season of decadence and delightful abandonment. The sights, the smells, the food oh the fragrance of long forgotten days that began at 7am and ended at 3am. Rested after a night sleep i ordered the Fat Italian once again. My souls thirst had been quenched my deliverer of flavors. The meat so thick, so poignant, so unmistakable Pittsburgh with its bold outpouring of a simple idea. Work hard play hard live for eternity the yokes removed from my tastebuds. The hard boiled eggs perfectly light and fluffy with texture. The rosemary mayo an ode to herbology. Maybe I was a small town girl on a Saturday night dancing like a maniac 20 years ago but here at a proper lunch hour I sat back and feasted and relived that small little portion of a time travelers fable where I touched that time long since forgotten and enjoyed this treat as time stood still. Fates abatement struggles to endure but I am nothing short of satisfied that like the very blessed union of our souls this establishment endures! I did get too excited to eat it that I forgot to snap a pic. Dream on dr

On this visit there were 9 of us and the female server was jumping like an elf at Christmas. Oh wait it is Christmas so obviously the service was impeccable and the food was equally as great. I had the Steak hoagie and it was loaded with peppers of all varieties. The mushroom appetizers were decent but the loaded fries more than made up the difference. I absolutely highly recommend this warm and comforting establishment in Sus side part of Pittsburgh.

One of my favorite spots in the city I somehow forget about! Portions are huge so be prepared. While the sandwiches are what they are known for, I always get the whole wings. They melt in your mouth and always hit the spot. The draft list is unrivaled as a great place to grab an out of the box beverage. Check em out!

Amazing local bar with friendly staff and delicious food!!! First time visiting Fat Heads Saloon and enjoyed every minute of it. It was trivia night on Tuesday at 7pm and anyone can join the game. Bartenders were friendly and had quick service even though they were very busy. The environment was very causal. They have a wide selection of beers, ciders, wine, and seltzers plus can make any cocktail. I ordered the Caramel onion & mushroom burger with French fries, the meat was cooked just how I like it medium well and the fries were cooked from scratch. They also have flights (5oz each) available for you to try different drinks. Highly recommend if your in the area to check them out! (:

What can I say about this Pittsburgh institution that hasn't already been said? They'd been around since the 90s and have stood the test of times. They've watched all the bars and restaurants around them change hands and names multiple times. If you're looking for a humongous sandwich that is delicious and you'll have a hard time finishing, than this is your spot. They've always got an insane beer selection and their bartenders make some pretty interesting cocktails as well. Drop in to watch a game or just chat with friends at the bar. It's always a good time at FatHeads!

First time ever at Fat Heads. Was not disappointed. Little bit of a wait, but helped myself to a nice cold Crumble Berry beer while waiting for our table to be called. Tried the Expert Pastrami Headwich and it was great. Huge sandwich stuffed with pastrami, hot sausage, egg, onion, pickle, etc. Had a side of fries with some spicy ranch which was tasty as well. Overall, great dinner. Great service. Our waitress Gia was amazing especially with how busy it was! I will be back Fat Heads...
