Fat Shallot is a gem of a place on Central Street in Evanston. Honestly, my favorite go-to restaurant in the area. The burger is the best around (seriously the best burger I’ve ever had) and the sandwiches, salads, soups….all delish! Then there’s the frozen margarita, which is addicting and better than any I’ve had while living in Texas!
The owner Sarah is so wonderful, the staff the atmosphere, all feel welcome and like family.
❤️ This place my number one choice.

We stopped by the Fat Shallot on a whim. I had the turkey sandwich, which came on a very fresh, soft pretzel roll bun with lots of greens. The fish tacos were very good too and had two large pieces of fish! Worth trying if you're debating between options.
The staff at the counter gave great recommendations. We went on a weekday afternoon and there were few people there. It's a good spot to hang out and relax without feeling rushed. The decor is fun and cutesy, with dried flowers at the tables. Would definitely go back if I'm in the area again.

This is not the first time we have we enjoyed the e food and atmosphere at the Fat Shallot and it won’t be the last. We have dined inside and out and both Crystal & Trevor took great care of us. The food is fresh and excellent. We have consistently ordered their cheese curds which are always good but I had their turkey sandwich on a pretzel roll this time and it was outstanding! My wife had their burger (a role reversal) and it was delicious without a single drop of grease. If you have friends in the area you can leave them the gift of a free drink on their board in the back room and that is always a fun surprise. 10/10 and has become one of our local favorites.

Delish and so fun! Love that you can ride your bike grab a family dinner and head home. Or end your night by chilling on the patio with friends. Service is awesome, food is great, and location is easy! Can’t beat Central St in Evanston!!
