    One of our favs for good food prepared well. Service is friendly and efficient.

    Their daily AYCE specials is a delight. Come hungry, Crevat: If you re-order you can't take leftovers home. Still a great bargain. Their Chocolate peanut butter Pie is so good it goes fast.. Order it with your meal to ensure you get yours.

    Must try the fried chicken and ribs!!

    Fat Ernie's is an older establishment. Clean. Super friendly staff. It is typically a challenge to find a restaurant that our children all like. However, Fat Ernie's had something they all liked!!

    Not Bad

    I stopped in for lunch and had the chicken-fried steak. I can't say there was anything spectacular about it. If you enjoy the traditional white gravy you'll enjoy Fat Ernie's. They don't hold back on the stuff. There are lots of specials offered here. If...More
