Fat Sal's Deli
Welcome to Fat Sal's Deli, a true gem nestled in the heart of Los Angeles at 1154 Highland Ave. This vibrant sandwich shop is not just a place to grab a bite; it's a culinary adventure, where outrageous flavor combinations meet the quintessential deli experience.
Fat Sal's specializes in a playful and hearty menu featuring their infamous Fat Sandwiches. These massive creations are built for those with a hearty appetite. Take the Fat Breakfast, a sumptuous affair filled with fried eggs, ham, crispy bacon, and even mozzarella sticks, all nestled within a butter grilled hero. Or perhaps you’d fancy the Fat Banh MiKi, a creative twist that combines sweet and spicy soy-marinated ribeye steak with vibrant Vietnamese pickled vegetables and zesty Szechuan slaw. Both sandwiches are bound to tantalize your taste buds and leave you wanting more!
No meal at Fat Sal's is complete without venturing into their extravagant shakes. Imagine indulging in the Fat Jake Shake, which throws caution to the wind by blending vanilla ice cream with a slice of pecan pie, topped with whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. It’s not just a drink; it’s a dessert experience that dazzles the senses!
The vibrant atmosphere of Fat Sal's, characterized by an eclectic decor and a friendly vibe, perfectly complements the indulgent fare. Reviews from patrons echo a consistent theme of satisfaction—Eric Campbell mentions the "wild selection of massive sandwiches and shakes," while Peter Ladenheim, a deli aficionado from New York, exclaims that Fat Sal's is an exception to the rule for great sandwiches outside New York City.
But it’s more than just the food; it’s the spirit of the place. Customers rave about the staff's friendliness, turning a simple meal into a community experience. Mary Mercado appreciated the help from the friendly cashier, and Angie’s late-night visit was made special by the welcoming atmosphere of the staff. Fat Sal's isn’t just about eating; it’s about feeling at home in a bustling city.
So whether you're planning a late-night snack (the shop is open until the wee hours) or looking for a feast that defies the conventional, Fat Sal's Deli is your destination. Don’t just take our word for it—visit this LA wonder and see for yourself why it’s a must-try for anyone in the area. Come hungry, leave happy!
