    This is my top favorite place to go always! The owner and staff are super friendly and welcoming! My parents would bring me here when I was a little girl now I bring my family here. The taste of the food hasn't changed at all which is great! I swear this place will fill you up it will put you into a food coma!!! Greatest little burger joint I recommend anyone to!

    Right up front I want to be clear that this is a nostalgia review.  My enjoyment of Big Fat is firmly rooted in having been a regular here in the 80's and 90's.  I came here expecting to relive my teenage years with a burger and fries and it did not disappoint! The only thing missing from this trip down memory lane was the old pinball machine they used to have...

    You will find no better "burger stand burger" than the big fat burger.  It's a classic. No froo froo sauces or artisanal bun... no sir.  This is a classic burger fried up hot and served with crisp lettuce and tomato.  Just delicious!  Thick fries and a coke to wash it all down and you are eating a good ol American classic.  If you want to take a break from the fast food chain grind, head on over to Big Fat, slide in a booth, and get your chow on!

    I came here with my wife to try out some burgers (which is the name sake of this restaurant) and also a philly cheesesteak cause, why not?

    Well the parking is small, but so is the building. The staff is nice, but not very talkative, we had a little trouble ordering with the man behind the register, but eventually got it out. $22 for a burger combo and a philly combo... seemed a little steep for a small burger joint, but maybe the food is amazing.

    I got my Horchata and sipped on it while we waited and was able to finish it before the food, but saw it costs $1 for a refill of horchata and .70 for sodas... having worked in the fast food industry I felt like that's penny pinching.

    The philly came out first, hot and tasty, fat fries were good, but we were still waiting on my wife's burger... the paper wrapping made it look HUGE, but when it was unwrapped it was more bread and lettuce than burger. Not the most flavorful patty, and my wife's onion rings had a pool of oil on the bottom of the container - we opted not to finish them.

    The decor also was very drab, it needs a face lift, it looks like it hasn't been updated since 1999. Photos package taped to the walls, some faded of food that they make, I don't think it adds to the dining area. Scrap it and maybe make a large photo board that's nice instead of the photos all over the walls.

    As the 2 stars states, meh, I've experienced better. If I could I'd give it a 2.5 stars because I'd try some of the other things they have, but not for a while.

    Man this place ... this place is old school valley. I used to come here in the early 90's and it's exactly the same today. Minus a couple arcade games. Great cooking, simple menu... great customer service ! If your ever in Reseda, stop buy and grab a Big Fat bacon cheese burger and some Fat frys.
