An amazing smelling burger joint in downtown Carbondale. The menu has lots of options and most are burgers with some other proteins, hot dogs, salads, etc. They only offered canned drinks or bottled Mexican coke (if you know you know) The restaurant is small with limited indoor seating but an outdoor patio in the front and back (back was closed as it was November which is usually much colder) The burgers were cooked to perfection and messy in the best way possible. I had the double standard, which comes with two grass fed beef patties, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, grilled onion (yum!), pickles and house sauce. The fries are cooked to order in canola oil and just divine. They were salted well and a little thin but not matchstick small. The onion rings were the BOMB. Fried to golden brown they were crunchy, hot and something I will have to order the next time. Ask for extra napkins and enjoy!

This burger joint is having an identity crisis in the best way possible—burgers, tacos, hotdogs… basically a delicious choose-your-own-adventure. Best tasty freeze in town, hands down. Come hungry and confused, leave full and happy.

Nothing fancy. Walk up ordering and basic indoor and outdoor seating. Great location. Fair prices, burger could use a bit of fat as it's extra lean and could use some of the natural moisture. Best sweet potato fries I've had in AGES!!!

The old hole-in-the-wall feeling.... Funky for upscale Carbondale. Food was tasty but burgers not big enough for super hungry post hike. The hand cut fries are fantastic.

A lil expensive but it was worth it. I really love the fresh fries they taste homemade and have the perfect crisp. Good music and down home atmosphere. Nice girls working as well :) I recommend the mushroom burger. I ate it too quickly before I could share a pic.

Fatbelly Burgers, nestled in the heart of downtown Carbondale at 220 Main St, offers a flavorful escape for burger enthusiasts and casual diners alike. This humble hamburger joint bears the charm of a classic hole-in-the-wall, yet serves up a menu that surprises with variety and quality. From the iconic Mushroom Swiss Burger, rich with melted Swiss cheese and earthy mushrooms, to the bold Double Pepper Burger, each bite delivers a satisfying punch of flavor.

The Double Standard Cheeseburger stands out as a true crowd-pleaser. Featuring two grass-fed beef patties layered with American cheese, fresh lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, pickles, and a creamy house sauce, it strikes a perfect balance between juiciness and messiness, inviting you to indulge without reservation. The patties are cooked to a precision that emphasizes their natural flavor, though some might find them leaner than expected, adding a clean savoriness to each mouthful.

Complementing the burgers are the hand-cut fries, fried to a golden crisp in canola oil and salted just right. Their thin yet substantial cut ensures a satisfying crunch without overpowering the main dishes. The onion rings here are nothing short of spectacular—crispy, hot, and golden, making them a must-order companion. For those who appreciate a twist, the sweet potato fries bring a touch of sweetness and softness that contrasts nicely with the savory elements on the plate.

Fatbelly Burgers embraces a casual atmosphere with limited indoor seating and inviting outdoor patios, perfect for soaking in the lively Main Street vibe. Their beverage selection adds a unique flair, featuring canned drinks alongside the coveted Mexican coca-cola, a subtle nod to aficionados of authentic refreshment.

What truly makes Fatbelly Burgers special is the feeling of a neighborhood gem—unpretentious, unpolished, but utterly genuine. Whether you're refueling after a hike or enjoying a laid-back meal, the combination of well-crafted burgers, crispy fries, and a welcoming setting crafts an experience that leaves you both full and eager to return.
