About
Our award winning smoked Gouda Mac & cheese or our savory smoked beef brisket and succulent pulled pork. They are just a few mouthwatering flavors that put us over the top and we cook with lots of love!!!
We slice on Brisket 1 /2 inches thick, and it pulls apart like butter. Our homemade BBQ is different from any other. It will be coming into stores soon. They are for sale and also a free bottle with any party booked.
We have been ranked #1 for BBQ in Nassau and Suffolk for a many years now on here.
My family has been raising pigs in Manorville for over 130 years. We have over 100 years of culinary expertise between my two chefs and I. I have been a PitBoss for over 25 years. We cater, Mexican/Latin, American & and real homestyle, southern BBQ.
We love to cook and make people smile when they eat our food. It's doesn't feel like work to us ever, we really truly enjoy what we do!!! 😃

If you are considering a foodtruck for your next event, you should definitely consider Fat Boys BBQ. I had them at my husband's 70th birthday party, with 60 people of all ages and everyone loved it. Fred was super easy to work with. He was very responsive and helpful in picking a menu and even provided an awesome cake from the baker he uses. His team that worked the day of our party was friendly and fit right at our event.

I was married on 10/28 at The Bates House in Setauket and I am so grateful for fred and his incredible staff. Fred treats you like family the moment you inquire with him about catering. His prices are beyond fair and his food is award winning delicious. My guests are still a week later texting me about how insane ( in a good way) my wedding food was. When it came to making my menu Fred had so many incredible ideas and was so receptive to food allergies, kid friendly food, and that I had a lot of vegan guests. He not only handled the food but provided us with all the beverages and the most incredible staff. The staff made sure to find me during cocktail hour and sat with me while I ate an entire tray of food. I don’t drink alcohol and the staff made sure to keep
Bringing me water, sprite, and they also paid so much attention to ensuring my husband and my children were always taken care of. Planning a wedding is stressful and if it wasn’t for FATBOYSBBQ I don’t think my day would have been as amazing as it was. I truly am so thankful and know that when you choose Fred and his team, you will not regret it. THANK YOU!!!!!!
