Fat Tony's

Is Fat Tony's open? If so, has anyone had breakfast there?

It's open. Their FB page says they open at 7am, so assume they serve breakfast. There is a breakfast menu listed.

Yes, was just there, they had sign regarding breakfast and specials. I think it said 7-11 but don’t quote me on that.

Thank you for the info. Planning my meals in SXM! Can't wait for March.

The owner is from NY, wild and crazy guy. Does a huge breakfast business with the University Students. Gives them credit has take out ready works well.

Where are they located?

On the corner where the Summit Hotel was.

Sounds like Rhode Island directions: near where x used to be.

That would be Almacs

(Sorry for the Rhode Island hijack)

Take the right past Benny’s. . Where every day is a bike Sale! Haha

Being originally from KY I have spent years trying to not give directions in RI-ese and now you guys have made me laugh so hard, Thanks!

Fat Tony's is open and thriving. Rick rebuilt the place beautifully after Irma and it is now bigger and better than ever. Enjoy!

Yup RI for 70 years before moving to Myrtle Beach area.......lol

That more than qualifies you to give directions using a relationship of where you lived.

Rick credits his night time manager for doing the rebuild, but it is nicer. Like the beer fridge where you pick out what you want and pay for with your order, too. I have to learn to order smaller meals, they are really big portions.

He had to put down one of his dogs shortly after Irma. Missed seeing both of them. We miss our dogs so much when we are gone, that it helps seeing others being well cared for. There were, however, chickens milling about.

Had steak and eggs this morning, rate it 5 out of 10, instant coffee, plastic plates and utensils with many flies made it not to our liking. Jules across the street is better option. In fairness I don’t think breakfast is Fat Tony’s specialty.

Based on all the comments here, we had a pizza there last night. Surprisingly, it was a little better than ok, but we were both up with stomach issues last night. Strike 3 I think.

We really liked the 4 cheese pizza at In and Out I’ve never understood the hoopla over Fat Tonys.

Ditto. Tried and didn't like.

Thanks for that VERY important info on the place. And for mentioning Jules across street.

We thought the pizza there in the early years when the original "Fat Tony" owned it was really good. We went there a lot because we live really close by. Since It was bought by Rick, the quality of the food--both pizza and his new offering of smoked meat--not so much. Possibly because he is catering to the students (who may or not have yet developed a palate) the food is just not that good. I am sure he is making a good living from the kids, but not where we want to go anymore.

Update

As I mentioned above, our first couple of meals there over the few years they have been open, we did not care much for the BBQ here. We returned mainly because our favorite bartender is working there and it is a fun bar. We met the owner a couple of weeks ago and he asked our experience dining there, and we told him. He promptly brought us a sample of the brisket and pulled pork and it was far and away different from our previous experiences! So yummy. Went back for lunch a few days ago and our meals were delicious. Sadly the brisket was not quite ready from the smoker, but pulled pork and sides of potato salad and cole slaw were all so very good. Moist with good flavor. Salads nicely seasoned and really nice buns on the sandwich. Looking forward to returning for brisket and another fun afternoon.

We stopped in Tuesday afternoon to watch a proper football match. Turns out Tuesday is steak night. NY strip with all the fixings for $18 and there were at least 25 people dining. All the plates were cleaned and I asked a few diners and they said it was very good. We're not big steak eaters, but may have to give it a go soon.

Guess the moral here is, don't give up!

I found Fat Tony's two years ago our trip before Irma. The first night, I had the brisket dinner, and also found it fabulous...and while there heard about ''Steak Night". Well...the following week, went back, and thoroughly enjoyed a great steak, with sides, for a ''very'' affordable price!!! Fat Tony's is the proof, that one can enjoy a great meal, (like the lolos in Grand Case) without having to break the bank. We go for 3 weeks, and do not cook in. A couple of Fat Tony's nights surely make for a more inexpensive night, without going broke. BTW....the drinks were also reasonable and affordable.

Good to hear! I've avoided the place in the past due to so-so reviews. Guess I'll put it back on the list for future trips.

Gotta give credit where credit is due. Rick, the owner, listens to his customers. In recent weeks, a couple new TV's have been added and we're watching a lot of rugby and proper football. I mentioned one day that I loved a cold cider. Guess what is there this week? Now obviously he probably had many requests, not just from me. But I'm a happy camper.

Nice to have another good option so close to home!

May be living there this weekend with this traffic.

I am so glad to hear that his food has improved. We really like Rick and want him to succeed---especially in the location he is in. We haven't been there for about a year and an half, but just may try it before we leave this time. Thanks for the update!!

reservations a must?????

would also appreciate good directions/land marks

From Maho, cross the golf course, turn right where the Starz Casino was, first right turn after the golf course, go up to the medical school and the road turns to the left, at the top of the hill turn right, Fat Tony's is on your right.

bizzottom--Fat Tony's is not a reservations kinda place. Think picnic tables. Someone else has already given you directions, which are better than mine would be! I'm directionally challenged..

I'm directionally challenged..nobody is worse than i Carol...i used to get lost in a phone booth

awesome, thanks Uksimonusa

bizzottom--I have a funny story about getting lost, but don't want to hijack the thread! I hope you find Fat Tony's ok. I've enjoyed it, for what it is. Not fine dining, but enjoyable. One time we were there, the electric went out and it was kinda fun, like old time SXM.

thinking of hitting Fat T's on st paddy's day

Good company that night also!

Yes, JD, for sure..

And now a brand new proper toilet has been installed!

Wow, things are really improving there. That is great news!
