“Preparing a damn fine burger”
When Lance Jack moved to Carbondale in 1992, one of the first questions he had for his new acquaintances was where he could find a good hamburger. “They mentioned a few places – but really, none of them had a good answer,” said the new entrepreneur and two-year member of the Carbondale City Council. Earlier this month Jack opened the doors to his new restaurant ‘Fat Patties.’ Seventeen years after he asked the question about where to get a good burger – he believes he’s answered it. Fat Patties, at 611B S. Illinois Ave., is Jack’s new restaurant. The menu features 1/3-pound burgers with a variety of toppings and variations, including one made with blue cheese.
Stopped in while passing through town. Great Bison burger, fun environment, friendly staff. Will be stopping next time around!
If you want a burger this is the only place to go!!! They are so good!! The staff is awesome! I loved the atmosphere of this little joint! So unique and fun! Great local meat and lots of stuff made in house!!! And veggies grown in the community garden!!! If you are in the area or passing through definitely take the time to stop by! It will be worth the time!! Wish I could give it a 10 star rating!!
