Fatz Cafe Review (Columbia, SC 29206) »
On the menu we're told that this chain was started by a big guy with a big dream. The food is fairly standard for a chain these days, but there are some nice surprises. The shrimp cakes are patterned after crab cakes, but served with a nice sauce, over cheese grits, and the portion is pretty good-sized (as you would expect from the name), so even as an appetizer they make for a good entree.
The kids meals are large enough that even older kids will eat them and be full, and most adult portions are large enough that you'll take some home. A pleasant surprise, and your wallet will come out okay too. Not bad for a chain restaurant, albeit one of the smaller ones (chains, that is).
