Since 1985

Our Story

Opened in March 1985 by Jack Mills

In 1985 we started grilling hamburgers and serving beer to our friends who stopped by to see us. A lot has changed and happened in 41 years.

Fat Jacks has burned down, not once, but twice. A car has driven through the wall and countless other things. If these walls could talk!

At Fat Jacks the good times far outweigh any bad times. One thing remains the same. At Fat Jacks you can always count on a friendly face, great food, refreshing drinks, live entertainment, and great friends old and new!
