Fat Daddy’s Smokehouse is your average hole-in-the-wall dive
bar and grill. That is, it’s neither here nor there; not the best but not the
worst place either. Surprisingly, Fat Daddy’s has managed to be around for
quite a few years in Hawaiian time. How, I’m not sure. Maybe because average is
considered good for a restaurant in Kihei?
The food is not awful. I most recently had two of their
sandwiches – the pulled pork and brisket sandwiches – in which the meat itself
was well prepared. The buns are decent, too, but both sandwiches lacked BBQ sauce.
Kinda disappointing for a BBQ joint. I’ve had worse but have also had better.
The drink selection is standard as far as cocktails go
though I feel the beer menu is unforgivingly short. That’s me, though, someone
who feels that only 3 microbrews on the menu just isn’t enough. I will say that I have never had a bad Mai Tai here, though.
Service, like everything else, was standard. The waitress
was nice enough and the food came within a decent amount of time. Overall, I
found Fat Daddy’s very, meh, shall we say. At least you won’t pay above-average
prices here.
