Tired of the daily grind that you have worked through all week? I’m sure that you are ready to throw caution to the wind as well as that uncomfortable monkey suit you call corporate attire. Here at Uncle Fatty’s we believe that a Hawaiian t-shirt with your belly protruding through is a sign of relaxation and comfort. This hopefully will any pertain to the blokes in the crowd as for the lasses we like to see as much skin as the department of health will allow us to show. If you want to just kick back and take it easy while listening to some sweet Reggae bands or live music on the weekends then you are welcome to sit a take it easy. Since we are land locked we just make our own beach in the back patio area that is full of sand and hammocks. We know people like to relax so we want them to feel welcome. To keep the party going we have $1 drinks at the beginning of sundown till it is down under. If you get the urge to eat some authentic Jamaican food you will enjoy the mouthwatering taste of our jerk chicken, jerk pork, and jerk beef that has been marinated by the secret recipes of our master Rastafarian chef. The fact that we are so different from other restaurants and clubs is that we take a different approaches to how we do business in the fact that we are relaxed and so our prices so everyone can come and have a good time. We like to have a nice and diverse crowd of parrot-heads, dead-heads, surfer-heads, and corporate-heads all partying till the sun comes up. We are currently working on our website and we are putting together a menu that has more appetizers to offer as well as large entre dishes. We like meat platters and we also like our veggies so we are going to even let the vegans in to eat happy and healthy. We are working on our most amazing dish that will knock your flip flops off. We are currently perfecting an appetizer that takes sweet potato fries and places pulled jerk pork on top of them and then we add a half side of jerk pork barbecue sauce on one side and a spicy and creamy chipotle sauce that is to die for. This should be a big success if everyone shares the same taste buds as the rest of our staff that has eaten all our sweet potato fries in stock. We want the customers to have a great experience and relax before they have to face the corporate rat race again. If you would like to keep in contact with Uncle Fatty’s then please leave your e-mail in the comment section and we will put you on our party list. If you would like to learn our recipes then you have to knife fight our mean Rastafarian head chef and yes she is experienced with a shank. We hope to see you soon in our little lagoon.
