Before I started on this review I read what previous customers had to say about their experience to make sure I wasn't tripping. My husband and I stopped here because the pictures of the food looked good. I ordered tilapia and my husband ordered teriyaki wings. The food was horrible. The sauce on his wings was not good, kinda had a burnt taste and my fish had the fishiest smell to it I have ever smelled. I have never smelled cooked tilapia like that ever. Fish had no flavor. And the fries possibly could have been good but they were to hard. I'm very disappointed. I've been eating out all week and this has been the worst food yet!

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.

HANDS DOWN THE BEST RIBS IN PERRY, GEORGIA. They had great smoke flavor, great tenderness, in the mac & cheese and green beans were excellent as well. The service was perfect, I couldn’t ask for anything more. They were so welcoming and explained their menu without it feeling like a burden. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that loves soul food. I am definitely coming back soon.

I had the pleasure of ordering from Fatz Shawn’s while leading a college tour group of 30 students, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish. From the moment I reached out with our group’s orders and names, the staff was incredibly responsive and professional. She even followed up the morning of our visit to confirm every detail, which gave me great peace of mind. Although we arrived slightly later than scheduled, our meals were ready and waiting. Each order was individually labeled and perfectly organized, making distribution quick and seamless. The owners greeted us warmly upon arrival and checked in several times to ensure we had everything we needed. Not only was the customer service outstanding, but the food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The best testament to the quality? A bus full of high school students quietly enjoying their meals, followed by a collective nap on the way to Atlanta. That level of contentment speaks volumes! Thank you to the entire Fatz Shawn’s team for helping make our college tour day smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free. We will absolutely be back!
