Fat Maddie’s Blackhawk

"Food was great tasting, the service was good, and the outdoor seating was very enjoyable."

"The seafood pasta was excellent. The sauce was quite tasty. The seafood was fresh including shrimp, mussels, and clams. Fat Maddie’s is located in the indoor/outdoor mall next to the Blackhawk Museum in Danville, CA. The restaurant is large, has an attractive bar, and a very pleasant outdoor patio with views of the pond, waterfalls, and geese. The patio is an excellent option for the warm days. The mall is attractive, but when I was there, Friday noon, there were only a few people in the mall; but Fat Maddie’s had about 10 tables with customers. The waiter was pleasant. There is plenty of free parking."

"We have been going to this location for years and we have always had a good experience, until today. Admittedly we have not gone in some time, but that is no excuse for the drop in quality. We ordered take out today and the quality of the food has gone way down. We did not order from any third party, we ordered directly from the restaurant and picked it up ourselves. It was obvious that they have lessened the quality of all the ingredients, probably to cut the costs even though the prices have either stayed the same or increased. The chicken sandwiches were flavorless and dry, the risotto was undercooked, and our children’s menu items were completely wrong. We aren’t going to waste our money here again."

"Great spot, fun atmosphere a few TVs and a decent sized bar. Also a large outdoor area with a nice view of the water. Food is great, the burgers are a good size and have great quality ingredients. Parking is plentiful, obviously depending on the shopping center traffic."

"Located in beautiful Black Hawk shopping center. Great sports bar, featuring great selection from of salads, fresh soups, and dinner entrees. I highly recommend their crab and shrimp Louie: chunks of real crab, bay shrimp, avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers, and thousand island dressing. Spinach pear salad: candied walnuts, pear slices, spinach."
