Fat Boyzzz

Fat Boyzzz is a south Longview comfort-food kitchen on North Access Road best known around town for its all-you-can-eat Friday catfish. The Longview News-Journal has written up the restaurant for its hearty portions and made-fresh approach, and the Friday fish night has become the thing people plan their week around. The rest of the week runs on a lunch rhythm — open late morning through early afternoon Tuesday through Friday, with an evening stretch on Friday and a Saturday afternoon shift. That schedule tells you what kind of place this is: a working-hours kitchen serving working people, not a late-night operation. Reviews on the major platforms are steady and plentiful, which for a small independent restaurant is usually the clearest sign that regulars keep showing up. Come hungry, and if you are coming on a Friday for the catfish, come early.
