The Experience
Fat Guys Burger Bar is the kind of airport meal you pick when you want something hot, hearty, and reliably satisfying—not a sad snack box. It’s a burger-forward spot that straddles the line between quick-service and casual sit-down: you can post up at the bar or grab a table, order a proper meal, and still make your flight without turning it into a full dining production.
The vibe is classic “airport sports bar” energy—lively, a little noisy at peak times, and comforting in the way burgers and fries usually are. Travelers love it for one main reason: it feels like a real meal. Expect the usual greatest hits—burgers with customizable toppings, crispy sides, and a drink list that helps take the edge off delays.
Location & Access
You’ll find Fat Guys Burger Bar post-security in Terminal B, Concourse B. It’s located along the main concourse flow (listed as a post-security dining spot near the gates), making it an easy pivot once you’ve cleared TSA and are walking toward the B gates.
- Exact location: Concourse B, Terminal B (after security)
- Access: Post-security only—ideal for departing passengers
- Seating & waits: Moderate seating with bar + tables; waits tend to spike around lunch and early evening bank times. If you see a line, it usually moves faster than a full-service restaurant, but give yourself buffer time.
Menu Highlights
- Classic cheeseburger: The safest bet for a juicy, straightforward burger that actually eats like a burger (not a reheated puck). Add bacon or extra cheese if you’re going all-in.
- Loaded burger options: Look for a signature-style build with multiple toppings; this is where the place shines if you want something more than “bun, patty, done.”
- Fries on the side: Order them hot and eat them immediately—airport fries have a short peak window, and these are best right out of the kitchen.
Price range: Expect $$ (moderate) for airport pricing—think a burger-and-fries combo landing in the typical mid-to-upper teens depending on add-ons, plus more for drinks.
Dietary notes: Vegetarian eaters can usually make it work with a meatless option or a build-your-own approach (ask about a veggie patty or alternatives). Vegan and gluten-free choices may be limited; if you’re avoiding gluten, ask whether a lettuce wrap is available and confirm fryer cross-contact for fries. Halal-specific offerings aren’t advertised—if that’s a requirement, this may not be the best fit.
Practical Info
- Mobile ordering: Not clearly advertised—plan to order at the counter/bar.
- Reservations: Not applicable.
- Best times to avoid crowds: Aim for mid-morning or mid-afternoon; avoid the lunch rush and the early evening pre-departure wave.
- Power outlets: Some airport seating areas have outlets, but it’s not guaranteed at every table—charge up nearby before you settle in.
Quick Verdict
- Best for: Families who need a sure-thing meal, business travelers who want a filling plate, and anyone craving a proper burger after TSA.
- Skip if: You’re extremely tight on time, need clearly labeled allergen-friendly or halal options, or you’re looking for a light, salad-forward bite.
