Grace and the entire Fat Shallot team were a delight to work with. We had the Fat Shallot food truck cater our wedding welcome reception. We chose the “Unlimited” option which included three sliders (we chose buffalo chicken, truffle BLT, and grilled cheese) and two sides (truffle fries, and traditional fries) and every option was delicious. There was more than enough food for all of our 110 guests and there were even leftovers. Leading up to the event, Grace and her team accommodated all dietary restrictions and even ensured all options could be done in a gluten free format. We would 10000% recommend the Fat Shallot food truck for any catering event.

Awesome Buffalo Chicken sandwich! I look forward to a return trip!

I had the hot chicken sandwich with truffle fries. Absolutely delish and the sandwich is HUGE, crispy and tangy. The fries were very tasty and the sauce was perfect for dipping. Very cozy atmosphere with inside and outside seating. Friendly staff. The menu is not overpowering which I appreciated. Six sandwiches on the menu from what I recall which I think is a smart move.

I got to attend a graduation party at The Fat Shallot and it was really nice. The catered food made by the restaurant was good. I had the fries and chicken tenders. All were very tasty. There were also burgers I didn't have one but everyone that had a burger or chicken sandwich said they were good and tasty. The open bar was nice the Tito's was smooth and I had a good time. There was a DJ and enough room on the bar floor for dancing and there was a television with sports on for the sports watchers. I also saw patio outdoors seating out back. They had two restrooms and they appeared clean for patrons. The waitstaff and bartender were all friendly and just very nice.
