Best bar food I’ve ever had. Burger was juicy. Cheesesteak was, in the words of a Philadelphian, “better than Geno’s”. Price per person: $1–10 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Smash Burger, Philly Cheesesteak

My friend and I went to Original Fat Cats around 1pm on a Saturday (9/7/24) to get a drink and a Philly Cheesesteak, because some of the reviews made it seem so good. We were going to have lunch then walk around the area. When we got there, there were a few small groups of what looked like some kind of teams at tables in the front and on the side up front, so we walked to the end of the bar, near what looked like the kitchen door. We sat there for almost 10 minutes while the guy, who seemed to glance down at us when we first got there, totally ignored us, and never came our way. For the first 4 minutes we could see him grab a beer and give it to a customer, stand and chat with another customer, then he disappeared around the corner at the front of the store and we never saw him again until we were walking out. We were never greeted, never given a menu or asked what we want to drink. Ten minutes doesn't seem like a lot of time, but it is when you're hungry and waiting for service. It was an awful experience and even if it's the best Philly in all of South Florida I know we'll never find out because we're never going back. The very worst thing an establishment can do is completely ignore their customers. And we're pretty sure he saw us and literally ignored us. It was a really terrible experience. Oh! While we were waiting my friend went to the bathroom and she made me go back and look before we left. It was like walking in to a slum tenement. A sign posted on the wall warned to not flush tampons and coke baggies. Walls were covered with old stickers and graffiti, the sink didn't work, and it smelled like the monkey house at the zoo. In short we had a really bad experience with no service and left glad that we didn't eat from that "based on that bathroom, who knows what that kitchen looks like" place. And I also need to mention that no one walked in or out of that kitchen door while we were waiting, and no one was eating any food despite the fact that it was lunchtime. Had someone walked by, I was going to ask to send the bartender down our way. In retrospect I'm actually glad no one did. So, I guess I'll continue to go to Famous Phil's (formerly Fat Freddie's) for the very best Philly Cheesesteak! Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
