Arrived just as they opened on a Sunday morning. My buddy got a sampler right away and I had a Fat Scratch (collaboration with Tröegs). All the beers we had were excellent (Head Hunter, Yakima Sun, and Christmas Ale). The sandwiches were really good with the fresh fries and chips. Service was really good always checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Place was nice and clean and it was cool to see all the beer awards on the walls. There were a couple of TV’s to watch which was nice. Beer samplers were very well priced and the perfect size!

If you ever find yourself in North Olmsted, OH (outside of Cleveland), then you absolutely need to do yourself the favor of visiting Fat Head's. Delicious beer, wonderful atmosphere and an immensely hospitable staff. Undoubtedly, one of my favorite brewpubs/breweries/restaurants in the country...did I mention they brew the award winning Headhunter IPA? Fantastic!

Fat Head was sort of a mixed experience. My wife and I found the bar to be very comfortable once seated and a couple drinks in hand. Its a family place where people go to get hammered. Sampled a lot of Fat Heads beers. The house beers ranged from a chore to drink, cant remember that beers name but it was the India Imperial Barley wine (Hop Thunder?). Other beers IBUsive and Up in Smoke gave me an excellent beer drinking experience. The service was spot on once you got a seat. Getting a seat could be a bit of a pain. The beers available covered a wide array of styles. Guest taps available generally seemed to be excellent, Doom, Enjoy By ---, Breakfast Stout and the like. Not a bad beer drinking experience. The food left a lot to be desired. The food came in a couple flavors bland, burnt and unacceptable! I wasn't that hammered that substandard food could be passed off. Have some drinks and go eat else where.

Great brewpub. The food is killer and the staff is tons of fun. They offer 12 or so of their own beers on tap but still have a bunch of other craft beers on tap.

Can't wait to go back when the next selection of beer is on tap. Favorite beers from last night were the Head Hunter and the Sorcerer.

Just finished up a tour of all the Breweries in Cleveland and Fat Heads was easily the best in the area. The beer, food and service was tremendous. The building was very clean with lots of room for gathering. Some of the best beer in Ohio with a very big selection. Could very well be the best and nicest in the state.

Excellent food, with an outstanding menu (and HUGE portions, which make it worth the money). They have an excellent and diverse beer menu...In my opinion, this is, bar none, the best brewery in northern Ohio, if not the whole Great Lakes region. I live near Cleveland, Ohio, but I've been to many breweries in Ohio, some in Illinois, Some in NY, and some in Ontario. So far, this is my favorite brewery in the U.S. I first fell in love with beer in Austria and Germany in 2007, with their Hefe Weissbiers...in 5 years, I have never tasted a Weizen Bier as close to a TRUE Bavarian Hefeweizen in the U.S. except at Fat Head's, with their "Goggle Fogger", and "Alpenglow" biers. THE BEST Weizen biers in the U.S. that I've tried...Give them a try! ....cheers! :-)

Great place for excellent beer and food. The huge selection of food is reasonabley priced, and tastes paired very well with the beer. Head Hunter is just amazing on tap!!! You cannot leave hungry with the man-size portions, or sober with the great selection of taps. The best part is my wife even enjoys coming here, always good to have a DD.

I love this place. Great beer and very very good food. I live within 5 minutes so I frequent often. The beer selection is OUTSTANDING. Plus they have growlers for take home beer. Not too expensive for such quality products. I would highly recommend stoping by.

This was an unexpected stop on my way out to WI. I met a guy named Mike at the Brew Kettle who informed me that I needed to check this place out. So we went. Got there and grabbed a seat, ordered a flight of the first 8 beers on their menu and started tossing them back. The atmosphere was a little on the loud side but it's a bar so whatever really. The service was helpful and willing to talk with everyone. The selection was really extensive with many styles of beer to choose from. The food was also really good and the portions are MASSIVE! The value wasn't too bad I didn't think. I actually forget how much I spent there... Either way, I was glad I got to see the place and try a bunch of their beers. I would hit this place up again.

Fatheads is a beer and food lovers heaven. Fathead's is always busy and has a great buzz there especially during special events. Their beers, guest selections, menu options and service staff all make for visits that will have you coming back for more. The portions of food are gigantic and you will likely need a doggie bag at the end of your meal. Be sure to try their Smokehouse Wings and Headwiches. Fat Head's notable beers which have won several medals include the hopped up Head Hunter IPA, Battle Axe Baltic Porter and Belgian Strong Dark Ale Sorcerer. Fat Heads bar has 2 rotating casks and the only "big" American brew they sell is Miller Lite. Also, they have occasional large format bottle specials, to include stuff from Three Floyds and The Bruery to name a few. In terms of value, the food is reasonable and is always a lot so come hungry. You will spend a little more on beers house and guests beers here but the quality and selection is worth a few extra $$. Overall, Fat Head's delivers exceptional beers, tasty grub, and is a great space for large parties (including a game room equipped with a bowling machine, pool tables and flat-screen TVs for all your sports entertainment)...its a place with A LOT of regulars and a must visit stop if you're a beer (and food) fanatic visiting the Cleveland area.
