Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is a place that we will definitely be back to visit next time we are in Tathra. The staff were friendly and the place has a cozy and comfortable feel about it. The food was absolutely amazing. The arancini and ceviche starters were just...beautiful while the mains ( Prawn and scallop thai salad and beef fillet) were done to perfection.More

Every time tha wife and I holiday at Tathra we hit Fat’s up twice as we stay for a week every time, Ant and his crew certainly know how to look after you with brilliant service with a very friendly atmosphere and amazing food, can’t...recommend Fat Tony’s highly enough, so if your going to Tathra do yourself a favour and go for a meal, you won’t be disappointed.More

This joint has it all, Anthony has done the hard yards and really knows how to run a great restaurant. We had a big group and they served all the food together within 5 min, and the bar service was terrific. It’s a great venue!

My colleagues recommended Fat Tony’s for dinner so I climb the stairs from the beach and made my way there. Thankfully there was a table and I made my choice from a number of tasty menu choices. My starter was calamari which was melt in...the mouth and cooked to perfection yumminess. Followed by the Chicken which as also simply amazing. Portions were good so I did not get to the pudding but was tempted. Antony and his team are awesome! Welcoming, super friendly and attentive and I recommend this as another gem in the joy of Tathra. I will definitely return many times….I urge you to join me….I won’t share my food though!!More

Called and made a booking an hour before with a dress code of " if you're comfortable, we're comfortable." With 9 of us this is great. We had a small wait after our entrees but we were let know of this ahead of time by...the very friendly staff. Even the teenage kids raved about their meals and affordable for the type of restaurant it is. Can't recommend this place enough!More

This is our local fine dining and certainly the best food in Tathra. Anthony, the owner, is always gracious, friendly and welcoming. He makes the best cocktails (plenty of alcohol!). Spoiler alert: he’s not fat! 😂 The menu caters for most tastes and every single...time they deliver a delicious, well portioned meal. The calamari and scallops melt in your mouth. The steak can be cut with a butter knife. There are plenty of options to dress choices up or down. I highly recommend visitors pay a visit to Fat Tony’s. Make sure you book ahead because they’re always busy. We will be back.More

We had dinner there last night for my birthday and it was great. We had a lovely welcome from the owner and he made me a delicious Toblerone cocktail which turned into 3!! We were able to have a couple of drinks before dinner and...then had a table next to the fire. The food was great, the service was great and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is visiting the area.More

We enjoyed dining at Fat Tony’s. The atmosphere and decor is very welcoming. The menu has excellent variety with plenty of options that appealed the daily specials are also very good. The meals were very good with good sized servings and nice presentation. We could...not fault the service and nothing was too much trouble, particularly on a busy Friday night. If you are keen to dine here, then reservations should avoid being disappointed. Thanks for your vote.More

Our meal was enhanced by the great service and happy staff members. Not a huge menu and probably nothing outstanding, but a nice meal accompanied by good wine.

One star for the friendly wait staff and their enthusiasm. But essentially it was overpriced for the value. And as a vegetarian there wasn’t a single dish on the menu other than chips that didn’t have a dead animal on it. Apparently I had to...tell them when I booked that I’m vegetarian. Really??? And the cocktails didn’t taste like they had any alcohol in them. There was supposed to be Midori and rum in one of them but it was pink and just tasted of strawberry sorbet. Went to the pub for the rest of my stay.More

Many restaurants in bigger towns could take a leaf out how this place is run. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed with a smile and ushered to our table for 10. The whole place was clean and tidy with very attentive staff. Once...seated our drinks order was taken and were shown the specials board that just enhanced what was on offer. Entrees and bread came out and the table fell silent, a fantastic start. Staff were attentive to our drinks and were ready to take extra orders whenever we were. The mains were nothing short of brilliant. Everything was cooked exactly as ordered and all 10 meals were on the table at the same time. The food was something special but the service was even better. Smiling friendly locals showed what service really means. When the bill came out it was priced more like a local cafe. We were thanked for dining with them. We will be back whenever the opportunity comes around. If you are in Tathra or even the area you must eat hear. Probably the best restaurant on the far south coast.More
