I had a lovely lunch today at Fat Boys Backyard Grill. Fat Boys is located in th old Cafe Florentine in Huntington Plaza on Second Loop Road.
I had catfish, cream corn, and slaw. Not the healthiest option on the menu, but very good. I prefer a different type of slaw, but my catfish was cooked perfectly. Cream corn was delightful comfort food. I also tasted my friends grilled chicken and it was great. (I wasn’t in the mood to be so healthy!) I have been to a few fish camps in my lifetime, and this catfish is on par with any of them. I took a picture of part of the menu so you can see the variety of options that they offer.
I have long lamented the loss of Cafe Florentine because it was such an easy place to meet friends for lunch. I think Fat Boys, while a different type of restaurant, it has the same potential. They have updated the interior and it is quite spiffy looking. The prices are reasonable and you can easily have lunch under $10.00. It was approximately $18.00 for both of us, though the catfish is a pricer option. They offer a very reasonable kids menu as well. (You can even shop at Pattycakes next door when you finish.)
It’s only their first week, so plan a few extra minutes if you go. Our waitress was so sweet and did an excellent job.
