This restaurant reminds me of my husband's college days, in a good way. We visited with our children and enjoyed vegetarian options, classic sandwiches, and "fat cats." I had my first fat cat at a grease truck years ago when we were newlyweds, and it was just as delicious as I remembered. While the atmosphere isn't exactly like a grease truck, there is information about the Rutgers tradition. The food is plentiful, satisfying, and nostalgic. I can imagine this being the perfect lunch for college students.
Good times here. Great sandwiches, but they do up-charge for credit/debit card use which to me is odd in today's times. Also once I was yelled at by a staff member for taking a fork for my sandwich, which I thought was odd because they're usually well filled so things do fall out, and I have the right to eat as I want. But overall I still give it a high rating because the sandwiches are very good.
I recently tried these sandwiches for the first time and they were incredible. They were like a complete meal between two slices of bread, including an appetizer. I ordered the Fat Vastardi which had gyro meat, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, French fries, lettuce, tomato, tzaziki sauce, and I added a fried egg. It was delicious!
Love that this place keeps the same quality. Food is and always will be great and must stop if you're not from the area. Just be careful going when it's busy. It can be a bit disorganized and you can wait a while. I was lucky and in and out but I know there were some patrons that were there before me and I got my food before them.

A beloved favorite at Rutgers University. The Fat Mojo and Fat ZBT options are always my top choices. The quesadillas are also delicious. The fries are consistently well-cooked and the sandwiches are served on tasty rolls. The late-night rush from 1-4am can be busy, but the food is absolutely worth it.
fun re-creating the old food trucks from the rutgers history. eating is as expected, fat fattening and at the right time, just what they want and need. no disappointment. meets expectations!
20 years later (for me) still the same delicious sandwiches. Always a little crazy, fun, and delicious and worth the wait. I would recommend this place very much.
Alum, returning to capture a classic piece of my Rutgers past. Friendly service, but the Fat Cat was so-so. Jimmy's Grill is more what I'm looking for.

A great spot to get a belly filling meal. The shawarma is really good and of course the sandwiches.
