Big plates.
Real cooking.

Ernie’s promise, still on every plate.

Ernie Fincher opened Fat Ernie’s on South Hydraulic in 2000 with a simple idea: big portions of honest food at a fair price. Today his son James keeps the kitchen running the same way.

The dining room got a full refresh, with new booths, new carpet and a bigger kitchen, so there’s more room for regulars and first-timers alike.
