To give Fat Rosie’s only five stars feels wrong! Gabby ( our amazing server) was absolutely outstanding! So nice, very knowledgeable of their menu and very professional and charming. Gabby handled 4 tables of 4 plus a big party of 12 like a champion! The food, the presentation, the flavors, the atmosphere all is absolutely fantastic! They are located on Meacham Rd in Schaumburg. I can’t emphasise enough of what a great experience!!!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Ordered take out. The food did not match our expectations based on other reviews. The order was ready sooner than stated which was great, but started cooling off and was cold before it was even picked up. No silverware or napkins were provided. Bit of a challenge when you are staying at a local hotel. Chicken/steak fajitas - the chicken, beans, and rice were excellent! the steak was very chewy, tough and seemed to be of low quality. The veggies were over cooked and soggy, just soaking in oil. The sour cream was runny and thin. The salsa tasted like Italian pasta sauce and nothing like salsa at all. The carne asada tacos were just okay. Not much flavor. The meat was chewy and tough. The best thing of the entire meal were the taco chips and the tortillas. Those were really good. Overall a very disappointing experience.
