Phat Daddy’s Cafe

My husband and I love this place for breakfast, and their prices are ridiculously low as well. Our favorite server is Sincere, he’s a wonderful young man.

Went for breakfast on Sunday after church. Place was crowded but we were seated within 10 minutes. We placed our orders and the wait began. It was exactly one hour before our food came out. It was cold and not that good. Pancakes tasted premade and frozen. Bacon and sausage is what we expect for the cheap price. My boiled eggs were ice cold. On top of that service was lacking. Maybe they were just too busy and not prepared for the rush, but we won’t be back. I saw people getting lunch, maybe that’s a better choice.

This is absolutely no frills kinda dive. Stopped by for lunch today it has mixed reviews but I thought I’d give it a try we sat down and got a drinks right away looked over the menu which has a pretty good selection. I got the club and French fries, when it was delivered the French fries were stone cold. I told the waiter he brought out a plate had me give him my fires off my plate took them back to the kitchen and brought back the same fries yes they threw them back in the fryer and yes they were definitely hot but SERIOUSLY I couldn’t get fresh fries? I mean come on you took food I ate off and had my hands on and put it back in the public fryer that’s not sanitary I don’t care how hot the oil is. And the fact that they did that with me means they do it with other people yuck!

This place is hit or miss. If you dine in prepare for slow service and an attitude from the wait staff. Definitely not a very friendly staff.
If they are busy it’s best to walk out and go somewhere else. It will take way too long to get your food or even a refill of your drink.
They food is alright. Not a place for healthy food options. I recommend getting take out if you’re willing to blow your calories on their food.

I was here for an early morning breakfast.
I was seated immediately.
I ordered a western omelette. It was very tasty.
I also had home fries. Those were cooked very well and good.
I also had 2 pancakes that were fluffy and yummy.
I will definitely return to this spot.

This place was fantastic! My friend was craving a burger and insisted on coming here! What a great choice! It’s very affordable and the service is fantastic! They make you feel like you are apart of their family!

Off the beaten path in a nook of Stallings, NC, Phat Daddy’s Café is a quaint little diner-​esque stop for decent value and good food. Don’t be thrown off or intimidated by it’s overly eye-​roll worthy name, the café itself is a homey place you can bring your parents too for Sunday afternoon brunch.
My son and I crushed some breakfast here the other day and were happy with the service, the food, and the cleanliness of the establishment. It’s definitely not a show-​stopper type place, but to be fair, it’s really not trying to be. The real standout is the value. You’ll definitely walk away with more weight added to your belly than was taken away from your wallet.

We had a coupon to go here, so we thought we’d try it. We’re so glad we did… this is going to become a regular place for our family to visit. Great selection of food on their menu and their from their specials. Kids eat free on Mondays and Wednesdays, too! The food was excellent, and the prices are great! Beef tips on rice with 2 sides and a roll was $ 7.95! The staff was also very friendly… our server was great and very attentive. We will definitely frequent Phat Daddy’s for lunch and dinner… and I can’t wait to try breakfast, too.

Came here looking for a good dive diner. Got here and received frozen food on top of slow service. Didn’t get checked on to see if we needed anything. The place has a lot of potential, they just need to start using fresh product. I don’t know if it’s because I went to culinary school or what but I saw no good happening at this time.

Wonderful little local place. Great food and great prices. Wonderful service and friendly. Great selection of vegetables, lunch specials, great breakfast. Small and easy to get in and out fast !!

Perfectly prepared fried eggs. Delicious and peppery sausage-​gravy on a fluffy and large biscuit. Crispy bacon and sizzling sausage patty. I had the Big Phat Daddy’s breakfast combo and it was spot-​on. The hash browns were just «ok» and the coffee a standard diner coffee or I would have given 5 stars. My wife had the veggie omelette and it was also Very Good!

Looking for a place to get a quick meal Friday night with my three kids. Passed this place by many times so thought I’d give it a try. Glad I did and will be back. Two kids had cheese burgers w/​onion rings and ff. Onion rings had very crispy corn meal batter, not at all greasy. Other child’s chicken tenders had a light, crispy batter with tender moist meat. My dish, 6 wing platter was very good. Crispy skin outside, tender, moist meat inside. Sweet potato casserole was yummy and very good cole slaw. Our waitress seemed to be the only one on shift so service was a bit slow, but not her fault. Meal totaled about $ 33 for the 4 of us. Would definitely go back.

The appetizers were so yummy and affordable that 3 of those were my dinner. Fried pickles, fried zucchini and homemade onion rings. Good portions. My husband ordered the bologna sandwich which he said he’d order again.
Nice atmosphere, great staff… lots of personality. Will definitely be back!

Quick, easy, pretty yummy and cheap. What else could you ask for? This is a great place to have lunch or breakfast. I work close to here and can see meeting friends and family during my lunch break to be a regular thing! Really happy to find a good little place like this especially when all the other food places in the area are pretty yuck.

Good food at a very reasonable price. They have specials for breadfast lunch and dinner.

First off, walking in from outside, Phat Daddy’s doesn’t look like much, but when you come inside, the ambiance is pretty nice. Your greeted by a friendly older hostess and your told you can sit anywhere.
The look is pretty cool, it’s a diner, within a restaurant. There was tables and booths, we got a booth and our server «Sincer» was attentive. Food was good, and I liked that you can mix and match and there is a lot of options. Great pricing too. One thing is that it’s a little too greasy for my taste.

Let’s see,… Mediocre food and horrible service.
I have been a patron at this restaurant since it opened as it is 1 block from my job.
I’ve eaten mostly off of their lunch menu which has included, grilled chicken pitas, various salads including egg salad and burgers.
Their food is flavorless but I’ve consistently ordered from there in a pinch since it’s so close to work. However, due to the complete rudeness of the staff I will no longer be dining from Phat Daddys. Upon this last encounter, I was treated like the biggest inconvenience when I arrived to pick up my order (this has been a common complaint among my coworkers but I’ve never directly experienced it). I was ready with card in hand to pay as I am aware that noon is an exceptionally busy time for any restaurant. Not only did I get an eye roll from the waitress but a snotty reply to the most basic of responses. This was the last straw. If the food was better then I might tolerate it but, honestly, there aren’t any redeeming qualities for me except for the location.
It also didn’t help that the Pita I ordered was stale and the Chef Salad had an off taste to it.
I guess The Friendly Moose down the street will receive our business from now on.

We found this place based on its good Unilocal reviews, and were not disappointed. It’s clean and pleasant inside and out, and features down-​home cooking at great prices. The service has been exemplary each time (we’ve been there 3 times now, and had the same super-​nice and attentive waiter every time.) It’s also very kid-​friendly, which is good for families, and kids eat free on Mondays and Wednesday lunch and dinner.
The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the food is a *touch* on the greasy side, so I always seem to find myself feeling it later. Obviously that doesn’t bother me too much, though, given that I’ve been there 3 times in about 3 weeks… but I would just give fair warning that this isn’t health food.

With the staff being as friendly as they are I feel bad about only giving it two stars but that’s exactly what it is, mediocre of not less than mediocre. For a small restaurant I wouldn’t expect the food to be like cafeteria food but that’s exactly what it is. Anything fried on the menu is pretty good but once you stray from the fried items, be prepared to be eating green beans straight out of the can and food from a box.
If the food was more like Omega’s down the road, then I’d be more of a regular at Phat Daddy’s but I wasn’t impressed by the food. The staff, yes, but not the food.

I get out to this part of the city from time to time, due to work. I am always looking for good eats as I negotiate my day. I had heard of this family style restaurant from a friend. I love it. Real cooking by real people. Apparently the owners worked at another establishment Charlotte restaurant for over 10 years before taking the plunge and opening Phat Daddy’s Café a little over six months ago. This is just the sort of value I look for in a lunch restaurant. I shall report back when I attempt the Dinner fare…
