FAT CHEF Carrum Downs

"Not a bad place to have a decent steak.. Just be mindful the chef might be a little heat happy.. If you want a medium, you should probably order a medium rare.. Little glitches with the service but nothing major.. Offers great value during special nights like Parma and steak nights.. Ideal for groups and families with children.. The lamb shoulder 'entrie' is a full size meal on its own, it's very generous and tastes amazing."

"The chips were perfect and my bacon and egg roll was delicious. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the staff are friendly. The coke no sugar tasted extremely funny and none of us wanted to drink it. There was plenty of seating when we arrive at 11am which was a nice surprise. The coffee was good and no complaints there!"

"First time coming here and OMG! Worth every cent! The best garlics prawns I’ve ever eaten and steak was cooked to perfection! Our new favourite…."

"First time dining in today wasn’t sure what to expect as previous reviews were so mixed and matched. Today this was our experience…We had a group of thirteen people comprised of kids and adults. As soon as we walked in the door straight off the bat we were greeted with smiles and hellos. We were automatically taken to our booked table. The menu was so diverse and appetising it made the options very difficult to select. Eventually orders were made. The food didn’t take long to arrive. The quality and taste were amazing - compliments to the chefs. The portions justified the price definitely. The desserts were fantastic. Fresh and tasty (again big portions) gave our dining experience the perfect finishing touch. Great services were consistent throughout. Fat Chef restaurant is without a doubt a highly recommended place to dine in. Can’t wait to go back. See you guys again soon. Cheers!"

"Overall a nice dinner experience, family friendly and affordable but plenty of room for improvements. Our tomahawk steak was perhaps containing more fat then my liking, but still enjoyable. However it was the finer details that were lacking; for such a giant portion of meat, it came with such a tiny amount of sauce. Extra sauce was $2 which I’m happy to pay, but the sauces itself weren’t that great and watery. The salad was oozing with oil and I’m confused that being as a side dish, why it didn’t come with its own bowl (like the chips). The chips were average and lacked any seasoning. The service is mixed. While most were attentive, their was one poor lady working on her first night that seemed lost, helpless and in my opinion lacked training. Totally understandable being new to the job, but what disappointed me was the lack of help given to her by her colleagues."
