This is a solid burger joint - it ain't the Motoraunt, but then, nothing in town is...
The burgers are very good, with a variety of toppings and sides. I find the double Fat Burger to be too much meat - yes there can be too much of good thing. As Sheldon on the Big Bang Theory once said, "it's all about the meat to bun ratio."
The fries are pretty good, though I'm not sure if they are fresh cut or frozen. The disappointing menu item was the onion rings, which I found to be rather bland. Then again, they do have several spices and toppings on the table - but those are no help if you get take-out like.
It was really nice that after ordering, staff bring your order to your table, so there is no need to stand at the front like most burger places.
Probably the best thing about Fatburger is the milkshakes, which are made from real ice cream, not soft serve like most places. They have half a dozen of so on the menu, plus one additional milkshake-du-jour.
If you're looking for an upscale burger - with an upscale price - then Fatburger won't disappoint. -

Fatburger good food great to visit old friends & relax- Edmonton 97th St.
Feb 21 met on old friend for lunch, had the King Burger combo (loaded with fries & Coke Zero). The burger was great the fries looked to be fresh cut not sure if they are? Burger was not that greasy and fries were not dry like a lot of burger joints. After you order staff brings your old order to your table so this keeps counter clear even when busy. Would I go back? U-BETCHA. I also have visited the store on The Strip in Las Vegas, same experience. Staff friendliness 5 out of 10, service was good about 10" wait after order in during lunch rush. -

Burger itself good - but not worth going out of your way for.
A friend and I checked out the new Fatburger for supper on a weeknight and it was pretty busy. The line moves quickly as it seems a lot of people are ordering for take-out. The restaurant itself is pretty small inside so if you go during a really busy time you may not get a seat.
I had a burger, fries, and milkshake. The burger patty itself was juicy and flavourful. One interesting thing was their cheese melted on, but did not slide off (like so many other places), which was great. The toppings on the burger were OK, nothing that you wouldn't get anywhere else it seems. The regular fries are quite a large serving for one person, however the fries are very bland with no seasoning or anything. My friend had the onion rings and he said they rank amongst the worst he has had.
The milkshake consistency was very thin, so if you like a thick milkshake this might not be the place for you.
Overall I think the burger was good, the fries were horrible and the milkshake was just OK. With the proliferation of burger-only joints popping up all over the city (and Rodeo Burger a block away) it would seem that a place like Fatburger might have to make some changes to keep customers coming back after the initial "new restaurant fad" wears off. Fatburger doesn't compare to many local pubs (Druid, etc.) or even Delux Burger Bar, yet the prices are somewhat close. -

This is a new location for Fatburger. This diner-like burger joint is a fresh addition to north Edmonton. Upon looking at the menu, this was not cheapest burger place there is. Most burgers were about $6.50, with more specialty burgers ranging toward $8.
The service is pretty unique here. Once you place your order at the counter, they give a bright yellow sign, with your order number on it, to put on your table. Once your burgers are ready, the waitresses will bring it to your table, wherever you chose to seat yourself.
My boyfriend tried the Original Fatburger, which was not the best burger he's ever had. He said it was good, but not $6.50 good. I tried the Mushroom Swiss Burger, and we both decided that it was delicious! The patty was not the best that I've ever had (not super juicy, but that can mean leaner/healthier), but everything else inside made it awesome. They certainly don't go cheap on the mushrooms. There was enough to cover the entire patty and were generous slices. The cheese on it is what made the burger worth $8 for me. It was melted well and maintained it's soft texture, even after the burger cooled - definitely not processed Kraft slices.
Along with our burgers, we chose to share an Oreo shake. Their menu was bragging that they had the best ice cream shakes. When we first tried it...MY GOSH...it was the THICKEST shake we've ever had. It tasted amazing!! It was like a finely blended Oreo Mcflurry, made with lots of real ice cream and Oreos. I will definitely be back for their Mushroom Swiss Burger and their shakes!!
As a side note, I would also be back to try their poutines. It was too late to try this time, as I spied their banner after we had ordered. -

Best burgers in town. Clean, friendly location. Consistently delicious. Free beverage refills and their fries are to die for.
