We had the most delicious lunch at this place - had the brisket sandwich, poutine and ribs. Will absolutely be coming back! The owners were so kind and lovely - don't miss this place!!
A fun port stop for quality comfort eats. Drove a few hours to get here and it was worth it! Wings (sticky asian) were my favorite 👌 Fat Back BBQ fries good in high quality animal fats which is hard to find these days. Kind staff to top it all off, 10/10 would recommend!
I think I've found my new favorite place in Dover. Great staff, so helpful and kind, giving great recommendations and describing the food. I love the outdoor seating they have, even though I was only there a short time waiting for my food. The food is amazing! I had a hard time deciding everything sounded amazing Once I did I was not disappointed. I got the ribs and fries to go. The food was amazing. Ribs were tender and the bbq sauce was a perfect blend. The fries were still crisp even after the 15 min drive home and perfectly seasoned No need for extra salt. This was my first of what will be many stops!
WOW! 🤩 Food here is amazing. They truly take pride in their recipes. All fresh ingredients. You can literally taste the love. Best smoked brisket, and the Korean wings and Brazilian ribs are to die for! Fall off the bone goodness! 🤤 Plus a great location right next to the water with outstanding customer service! Thank you Sandy! We will be back! ⭐️
Fat Back is a must try if you’re in Port Dover! The food is incredible and fresh. We had the burger and it was one of the best we’ve ever had. The tater tots are delicious and so was the coleslaw. We also tried the brisket and it was tender and moist. The owners are so friendly and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back and recommend to anyone in the area.
Food is phenomenal, super kind and friendly staff, they definitely know what they are doing I can’t wait to go back. I got the brisket sandwich, he threw the fries in on the house! I could barely finish the serving
What a great little bbq place! We had brisket sandwiches and ribs with fries! Everything was so very yummy! I could have eaten a whole brisket and rack of ribs it was amazing! You won’t regret stopping here for a meal! The owner is so sweet too!
What a fabulous place! The owner and staff are very nice and the chef is amazingly creative. Loved the smoked brisket, chicken tenders, fries, and onion rings. The smoked ribs were tender and well spiced. Everything was housemade. New on the menu, just released today, May 18th, 2024, is a beautifully plated smoked salmon, perfectly finished with a peach demi-glaze, Sriracha, and maple syrup . Outstanding 👏 👌 🙌 If you go to Port Dover, this is the place you must go and visit. Highly recommend!
Awesome brisket
Wow what an awesome place. Had the brisket and it was delicious. Fries are just the best and fancy onion rings are just amazing. Will definitely be coming back.
This is a delicious little gem, the address says Main Street, but the little sitting area is facing the harbour. All the food is great, family owned and operated . Very worth the visit if you are looking for good eats in Port Dover Ontario.
What more could you ask for? Smoked wings, perfectly done ribs, juicy brisket. My reco is to just show up hungry.
Had this place for the first time today and the food was amazing if youre craving BBQ. The staff was also super friendly will definitely be back!
Best bbq /food. The brisket is amazing! Everything was so good and the woman who served us was so kind. We plan to return.
Hands down the best burger in Dover! So flavorful with their special sauce, frizzled onions and a perfectly roasted bun. Don t forget to get a side of the tater tots
Got the Texan poutine and it was absolutely amazing 10/10
Absolutely amazing spent $40-50 for two sets of wings (bbq and honey garlic), fries and Mac and cheese and it was well worth it 10/10 would recommend
Smoked brisket was unreal
Delicious food and great customer service!
Been there twice and will go again and again and again, until my arteries can not take it anymore ! This little place hits way above it weight. It does not look like much but give it a try. Friendly staff, great food, decent prices. Vegetarian options: None, youve gone to the wrong place ! Oh well, I guess the fries can qualify as a veggie...
OMG the food. Hot, fresh to order, good portion for price. We made our own family platter of Mac & Cheese, beans, loaded potato, best fancy onion rings (that I will be back again for), chicken tenders & brisket. Unique flavors to kick up the ordinary barbq. Thanks for a great dinner!
fabulous food and the friendliest faces!! we will definitely be coming back! the mac and cheese was something unlike anything i ve ever had before, you NEED to try it:)
The best ribs. Eat here.
I went here yesterday near closing. Customer service is outstanding. What is more outstanding is the food. Ordered the Texan poutine and the big knuckle sandwich and this has got to be some of the best brisket I have ever had. Probably cant get better proportions. Reluctant to to leave a review because I have now found a gem!
Really enjoyed sitting at the picnic table watching the waves and boats as I ate some really moist and nicely smoked brisket.
If youre looking for great food at an affordable price with the best hosts, this is the place! The ribs were juicy and tender, the chicken fingers with plum sauce were delightful, and the fries and brisket were very tasty. The staff was attentive and kind. I ll definitely be coming back!
Port Dover s hidden gem! This food was delicious. Everything was fresh made to order. The customer service was out of this world, extremely accommodating and the suggestions were spot on. This place is a must if you re in the area.
One of the best takeout places Ive ever been to! My family and I enjoyed our food so much that we wanted more! Would definitely recommend to anyone in Port Dover!
Lady is sweet, gave us a free drink for the wait (it wasnt that long-bless her) the burger and fries were hot and fresh. Thank you
We had the pleasure of eating at Fat Back tonight. Not only is the service amazing, the owners are so beyond kind. The chef, and I believe the owner, even brought out some ribs for our baby to try on the house. They are sweet people. Also the food is INCREDIBLE. It s all fresh. The bbq sauce is the best I ve ever had. The meat was perfectly smoked. I d eat there everyday if I could. Unreal! Best bbq in Norfolk/haldimand!
The brisket sandwich was absolutely amazing!
5 stars in every way
Great staff! Great service!! And best of all great food!!
First time eating there today , We loved it, ribs were great very nice people own this place can t believe I haven t been there before will definitely return to try out the rest of the menu .
Had the brisket sandwich and the onion rings. Everything was hot, fresh, delicious and the service was excellent. Portion size was generous and priced right.
My god the ribs are out of this world and this is some of the best brisket I ve had. The owners are also so friendly, you can tell a lot of care goes into the food and service. We had the Karaage chicken sandwich too and it was unreal. I m a huge fan of fried chicken sandwiches and it was
AMAZING hospitality, the food is so delicious, the energy/atmosphere is incredible!!
Got the brisket sandwich. Out of this world. Perfect portion, filling but surprisingly not excessive. Will be fantasizing about this. Incredible atmosphere and hospitality as well!
Amazing food, the BBQ ribs, wings, and everything else its really good. Very good service.
Visited Fat Back this weekend for dinner. We had ribs, the Karaage chicken sandwich and the GarPar onion rings. Everything was delicious, and seasoned perfectly. Highly recommend you check this place out.
Had the poutine! AMAZING! Also the Brisket sandwich is a must have!!
Delicious! Wil be back this summer to try more food
Just finished eating at Fat Rack BBQ and we were so impressed. Prices were very fair and portions were large. We had the rack of ribs and tater tots and it was all delicious. The owner came out to check on us multiple times and made sure we had a great experience. Cant wait to come back. Definitely give them a shot!!
not great service.. was told they gave us fries for waiting super long but we ordered fries with our combo.. probably won t be back
Hands down the best poutine Ive ever had .
The food, service and the atmosphere were great. The lady working there was very pleasant and helpful and looking at the water made for waiting for our food worth while.
Amazing food!! We ordered the brisket, ribs and chicken fingers. Our favourite was the ribs but everything tasted amazing. We will def be returning
Tried their chicken souvlaki yesterday. Was excellent. Will return to try other items soon.
Great service, friendly staff and a clean dining area. The food was amazing, we will for sure be back again and would highly recommend!
Stopped in on a whim and was not disappointed in my first visit. Finally hot wings that are not just the boring old franks extra hot sauce with butter. Try the hot bbq wings! The fries are crispy, the service is friendly!
This place is a MUST TRY! Great food, amazing staff, we were very impressed. Their brisket sandwich was especially good - will be returning!
It is nice to have alternative to the burger shops. The brisket sandwich is a must. Brisket has a mild smoke taste and the bread qnd onion topping make it the bomb . Although not offered every day the lobster taco is amazing. The cook has gone the extra mile and made salads that are somewhat different from the standard coleslaw/potato salad. Highly recommended
Wow!! What a find! Great quality and flavour and a really cool vibe! If you are in the area and want good food you have to do Fat Back BBQ!! We tried the beef brisket, lobster taco and salads and ate at one of the cute little tables they have outside, but I noticed I can call ahead for take out so well try that option the next time I have a crowd to feed and need something delicious and original.
Fat Back is exceptionally good! The lobster taco was such a stand out and so was the brisket. Overall, you really can t go wrong here. An amazing new spot for locals or visitors to Dover this summer
Phenomenal wings, ribs and sides a must try! I m going back for the brisket sandwich it looked amazing!
From a local who has lived here for 8 years. This is hands down the best restaurant in Port Dover atm. This is real bbq, not the fake stuff you get most places that serve BBQ which is usually smothered in sugary bbq sauce to hide the fact it is overcooked and dry. Brisket is next level, fatty, juicy, perfectly seasoned. Cajun dry rub wings pack the perfect amount of punch, kale and broccoli slaw is perhaps the best ive tried anywhere. The staff is nothing but pleasant to interact with and the view of the marina across from the picnic tables is pretty.
Stopped by for lunch and picked up the brisket sandwich $9.99. Started a bit slow but finished strong as the flavours moved around the home made bun and worked well. Would certainly go back again and the four rating isint a slight just a five is reserved for the creme de la creme. Recommended.
