I enjoyed the Fat Boy, but I could hardly find the chili on it. The bun was nice and fresh. I like this little place. They have pretty good fries as well. Overall, it's pretty good. Maybe I'll try the Souvlaki next time.

Had the Triple Fat Boy Burger and it was excellent! Super filling, and the chili was tasty. Only thing I’d change is maybe using real cheese over processed cheese, but even the processed cheese wasn’t bad at all. The restaurant is a bit dated but and could use a bit of an updated look, but it wasn’t dirty or anything so that’s just slight nitpicking. I’d definitely come back, and next time try the fries.

Excellent Fat boy, could have used a bit more chili. Worth it going for extra cheese. Very fast service, but was in there early an the only customer so would expect that. Look forward to trying the Greek burger next time. Often has deals for 2 of the same item. Believe it's buy one get one half off.

Was pleased and even a bit impressed! The 'special' was good value for money and really tasty! Notes: -burgers had THICK patties (not my preference, but it seems the preference of most) -burgers had chili on them (we didn't ask for it, must be on every one, not my preference either but was good!) -burgers didn't have lettuce or tomatoes or mayonnaise -the pickles on burger were REALLY good -the buns were really good The atmosphere is very nice! I'd definitely go back! 5/5!

The special of the week was 2 hot dogs and and order of fries. I could have done 2 of the 3 but not both. So not to let a dog go to waste, I had the 2 dogs and about half the fries. I had also ordered a side of chili, that was in my mind true chili. No beans, just meat, sauce and spiced and super thick, so it was great for dipping. I also had a nice chocolate shake, good, cold and thick! Owner George has had several restaurants that I have dined at and I'm very happy Zax is still around!! Check out the weekly specials posted on the big sign on Henderson.
