User reviews of Fatburger
Average fast food burger - Exorbitant prices
10 kuai change from 100RMB for a double patty with (optional) cheese and bacon with fries and coke, presented on a tray and wrapped in paper? Is someone having a laugh? I could have had a similar experience in Burger King for a fraction of the cost. For burgers at this price level it's Blue Frog all the way for me, proper service, chunkier beefier burger, nicer environment. I leave Blue Frog feeling satisfied; I left Fatburger feeling cheated. Never again.

Fatburger... GREAT Burgers, Hot Dogs, and So-so Chicken "Sandwhiches"
So, I live in China World, so this is my local go to when I get too hungry to walk far.
Now, a single-fat with fries and a drink, costs 70 kuai (since I usually buy double cheese) and trust me, with salt on the fries (which came unsalted) this stuff tastes amazing.
The Hot-Dogs are also amazing, quite expensive for a hot-dog, but the best in Beijing by far, 28 kuai for a hot-dog, but still, best in Beijing by far. 63 for hot-dog, fries and drink.
Now, chicken sandwhiches... they taste great, if you like sweet chicken. Its like having small slices of chicken fried together that are always too hot to eat, plus the fact that they are slightly sweet tasting.
I've had the wings a while back, better than the McDonalds wings, but not worth the price. If you're going for wings, go to either McDonalds (if you want cheap) or Stumble Inn (if you like salt)

Not worth the hype
Thought I had better check this place out having read the reviews, though I really should have known better.
The burger was fine. A little more 'gourmet' than McNasties and BK but nothing to wank about like most people below. The shakes were good, but horrifically tiny for the price. Onion rings were ordinary.
This is the slowest I have ever eaten 'fast' food. The 210RMB bill for one dble burger, one veggie burger, two shakes, fries and onion rings had me staring down at the pitiful little offering in amazement. I honestly did not want to eat it given how much it had cost, and how long it was going to last.
Considering it's location to Home Plate, I really can't understand how this place stays in business. Even more ridiculous when you consider you can go to blue frog on a monday, eat bigger and better, and get bladdered on cocktails for the same price.

Pretty Damn Good
Fat Burger is pretty good. the food is really fresh tasting. They fly their beef in from Australia(like air shipped). the food is better but not bigger than bluefrog and the den.
Now I know it is rather pricey. but they use never frozen beef air shipped from australia which is expensive. I know people are hesitent to drop 70 kuai on a fast food meal but its good.
plus i hear that Pharell owns the store

Expensive but tasty
Expensive but tasty. We don't have Fatburgers in Chicago and for fast food they indeed are tasty burgers but they can really do some damage to your wallet. For these prices Let's burger or even the Hilton aren't such a bad alternatives. Want cheaper? just go to Burger King.

Excellent American Food
I dont think you can find burgers anywhere any better than at Fatburger.
The Shakes are awesome and the fries and onion rings are good.
The service is excellent and the place is clean and fun.
No, it's not cheap at all, but since most of us expats won't be
eating there every day, it's ok for an occasional burger and fun for
the children for a rare occasion.

Awesome (maybe not as good as In-n-Out)
I almost had a coronary when I read another review that said the burgers are similar to McDonald's. Comparing Fatburger to McDonalds is like comparing that awesome Chinese restaurant in your neighborhood to Panda Express. Give me a break.
The burger was big, the beef was awesome and delicious, and the only thing that would have made me happier would be to have a burger from In-n-Out. Living in a smaller city with ONLY McDonald's as a choice for hamburgers, I was dying to try this place out, and I was not disappointed. If I was going to say anything negative it would be that the onion rings didn't look very much like the picture on the menu. They were very thick, and I prefer thinner onion rings. However, I know lots of people love their onion rings thick, so I wouldn't knock that part too much. Dear lord I wish there were a Fatburger where I live.

Best burger in Beijing
Yeah its fast food, yeah its expensive. But its also damn good - better than Burger King.
If you take it for what it is - fast food - than its damn good. I wouldnt eat it every day though.

Worth it
Yes, it's a little pricey for a burger but I think it's totally worth it. You pay half the price at McDonalds or Burger King but the burgers at those places are half as thick so it all works out. I don't know why the China World location isn't listed here but it's very convenient. The best burger I've had in Beijing hands down.

A real American Burger
All of these people who don't appreciate Fatburger - they must be French or something. This is the best burger in Beijing.
Of course, I hate gourmet burgers, which are really targeting the Eurotrash who don't understand burgers. For red blooded Americans, this is the place to go for a burger in the Jing.

Neat burgers
I would call the burgers neat as they are done neatly .
I like the tomato and capscicum slices and sure the patty and the bun is much better than lets burger.
I find this place more better than lets burger , for similar monies the taste is better here.
And Yes the chocolate milkshake is what I order alongwith the burger and fatfries. Its a good change than the normal fries.

Love the burger but for the price
The cheese is better here than at mcdonald and the bread too. The patty too.
But for the price .If the price was about little higher or still fine.But it doesnt work for the prices.
Because it doesnt have the settings of date even you cant bring in a date with candle light!
But I still like the fat fries which are less salty than macd.
Its a likeable place but the prices dont warrant a quick second time.

Just one more level than Mc Donalds
Is a Mc Donalds but with bigger portions (and more expensive),nothing special.
I prefer Hotel G burguer or Let's burguer.

False representation
After having heard the hype for quite some time, I was excited to test out this Fatburger joint. My conclusion: impostor! Pluses are that it's clean has good natural light and a reasonably nice staff. That's about it. Fatburger may be "fat", but only if you're willing to shell out. For 100 RMB my guest and I picked up what amounted to 1 McDonald's double hamburger and a paltry order of fries. That's about 2 RMB/fry and 15 RMB/oz beef for fare quality that rates as above-par fast food. Yet, it's not that fast. Lesson from trip one: Don't go there hungry.
Since everyone has a bad day, I thought to give it a second chance - my mistake. There were no burgers at fatburger. What? No beef, none. Inconceivable. How? You tell me. Still, benefit of the doubt, let me have a chicken sandwich. The result, a cubelet of chicken dwarfed by the bun and hidden under an average slice of tomato. Moreover, it's mushy pink three-quarters of the way through. So Fatburger, you are an egregrious misnomer and I don't plan on returning anytime soon. For alternate choices on an honest burger, visit just about any respectable restaurant or bar or sacrifice a few smidgens of quality and do fast food for 1/5 the price.

Glorified fast food burger
Decent burger, a notch above McDonald's and on par with Burger King -- but at RMB 40 a pop, it's a lot of money for essentially the same thing.

Burger king more value for money
Fatburger has good patties, good bread.The quality of patties at burger king may be not as tasty ,but their bread is good.
Fatburger makes better fries than burger king but their prices are too much to ask for.
Eating out at fatburger can be once in a while .

Not craveable, but shakes are decent
I was slightly surprised by the food when I finally tried this place. Other reviews have likened the place to McD. level which I think it is far from.
The burgers are more diner style, as opposed to the behemoth ones that you'll get at restaurants. They are smaller, and the hamburger is decent though lacks much flavor. It's topped with lettuce, tomato, relish, pickle, and the slightest bit of mayo which gives it a fresh taste that definitely is not found in other fast food joints. The fries and onion rings are both tasty, favorites being the onion ring which are large rings of onion, lightly coated, and fried. Overall, its worth an occasional splurge, especially since it's not something that I crave or miss after a few weeks.
The stand out was their chocolate shakes. They are pretty good, though not as great as farm stand frappes, but enough to hit the spot during the summer.

make sure ur really hungry
compared with butcher house burger i prefer this option because it is what it is, u know exactly what ur getting and unless ur really hungry its a wasted trip - and no veggie option sucks
fat chips get tiring after a few - but id go again - great for the munchies!!

not California dreaming
I don't get it. If you're from the West Coast and grew up with Fatburger, I can understand why you'd keep going back, looking for a taste of home. If you work for the Embassy, with the paucity of food options, I can understand making regular trips here. For everyone else, why do they keep going (well, from recent visits, doesn't seem like many people are going)?!? The burgers are decent, the fry options are nice and the fries are tasty, but the prices are insane for what is still just a fast food quality burger in a fast food setting. There are enough other great burger options around the city where you can get a really good burger in a nice setting that I can't see myself going back here anytime soon.
