Reviews for Father Fats Public House in Stevens Point, WI
This place never disappoints! A fabulous menu full of small plates perfect for sharing (or not). Service was great and attentive... and the food was fresh and hot and delicious. I went with my girlfriends this time but it's equally wonderful for date night. Ican't wait to go back because I dream of the lettuce wraps and risotto balls! Read more

Father Fats is a restaurant that we have been looking forward to trying for some time since it was featured on Wisconsin Foodie.... Chef Christian has definitely tried to create a robust menu that covers a lot of space, genres, and flavor profiles. The firstthing that immediately hits when getting anywhere near the restaurant is that smoky BBQ flavor. It hits your nostrils andimmediately, I could almost taste it! Nestled on a corner in downtown Steven's Point, I could sense the intimacy of the diningand bar area. On a busy night, I get the feeling it could easily be shoulder to shoulder, however we happened to luck out on aSaturday evening in the summer and we only waited about a half hour to sit on their patio/garden area in the back. A side notehere, as I don't want to come off as perturbed at anything the staff did, because they were always funny, polite and courteousand very apologetic when things didn't seem to go as planned. The bar area was way too small for the guests they were servingand the bartender was clearly overwhelmed by both the bar area and having to make drinks for people already eating. She keptapologizing and making light of her situation which put everyone at ease, but I think in order to appease patrons, she wastaking verbal orders from multiple parties, filling one or two of their drinks and then going to fill a drink order for someoneat a table, then she would come back, forget who was next and re-ask what people wanted. It was great if you got your drinkright away, but not so great if your friends had finished a drink and you were still waiting on yours. Also, some wines need tobe kept cool in order to maintain their full flavor and it was clearly very warm in the bar and a friend of mine ordered a redwine and it was hard to drink when the wine was eighty degrees. My Father Fats Old Fashioned was delicious and reminded me ofdrinking a wonderfully soothing grapefruit/lemon drink. We were ushered outside to the patio area which was Read more
Wanted a three star. Chef C recipes are fantastic and food is near 5 star, aside from the little pasty cupcake. The peculiar... randomness of food arrival times and waiting doesn't contribute to the experience. But the food is delicious! Read more
So delicious, small plates style eatery. Awesome cocktails, I recommend the Samwise the Brave. Beautiful outdoor space.
Great place, even more fantastic staff. Got 3 dishes plus dessert for each of us to feed 2 total! Duck was okay but worth trying... once, I would recommend the scallops because they're like butter! Love that dishes change often here to keep it interesting. Read more
