Fat Tomato Grill 241 York Street, York, ME 03909

"I had been coming to fat tomato for a long time, but sadly I won’t anymore. I grew up in the area and fat tomato was always a super convenient option with good food. Unfortunately the ownership recently changed in late 2023 and things have taken a jurassic turn for the worse. The original owners were genuinely so nice and prioritized the quality of the food as well as your experience as a customer. Sadly the same can’t be said about the new owners, I immediately noticed a dip in quality when I found out about the ownership change (once freshly breaded chicken now frozen, once fresh oven roasted turkey now just deli turkey meat) but I was willing to overlook it and give the new owners a chance. One day I called in a sandwich in a rush on my way to work and the man who took my order “alex” assured me my order would be ready within 12 minutes, I showed up almost 30 minutes later and when I asked for my order they hadn’t even started preparing it. Then when I asked for an explanation Alex simply said he didn’t have one. I then asked for a voucher/gift card since I had no time to wait and then the “new owner appeared” after much resistance he agreed to give me a voucher equal to the value of my order which I was fine with. However I then asked him for a explanation as to what was going on he acted extremely offended and told me my expectations were too high. it’s a little ridiculous to be told 12 minutes on the phone and 30 minutes later nothing had been prepped so explanation to what happened doesn’t seem like much to ask for. As if that wasn’t enough he then told me it was best I don’t comeback as my “expectations are too high”. As a long time customer this experience was sad, because fat tomato always stood for good convenient food and a warm atmosphere however as far as i’m concerned fat tomato died when the original owners sold it. I definitely won’t be giving fat tomato anymore chances after this experience and i’ve stopped recommending them to people. Support other amazing local businesses with genuinely good local food and people such as MOOSEBURGER, WILDWILLYS, STONEWALL KITCHEN CAFE, Ect. it’s unfortunate I have to write this review as a long time fan of fat tomato but after my experience with “alex” and the new owner fat tomato is not a good restaurant at all. Ps. ALEX AINT P, rip fat tomato late 2023"

"I'm currently in 8th grade at YMS, and thank god this place exists; nothing beats going through, ugh, school, and getting to walk here afterwards. Great food, employees are awesome, chill vibe. Some stuff is a lil' pricey, but hey, good food is good food. If you're planning on going, definitely get the mozzarella sticks, absolutely outstanding compared to other places."

"Very positive & friendly place! We did Roger's Thanksgiving sandwich, and we loved it! Highly recommend it!!!! The prices were very good too! One of the best sandwich shops around!! Check it out..."

"Small counter service burger joint, with a couple of tables inside and a few outside by the side of the road. The staff are really friendly, and really seemed to be enjoying what they were doing. We had the home made veggie burger which was delicious. Would definitely eat here again."

"This place is an amazing hidden gem. My husband and I found it last year. This year when we came back to Maine for our anniversary. We stopped before even checking into our hotel. Great food and great service."
