Fat Boy Pantry
1302 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA
Crema's Take
“This New Orleans spot has the bones of something special with its ice cream offerings and sandwich program, but recent reviews suggest the kitchen is struggling to execute consistently—long waits, uninspired flavors, and quality that doesn't match the casual, family-friendly vibe they're going for. The occasional bright spot (like their peanut butter and dark chocolate ice cream) hints at real potential, though the overall experience feels like a place still figuring out its identity after some recent changes. Worth keeping an eye on if they tighten up their operations, but current visits might leave you disappointed.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Well this was an awesome experience I had to stop here for a lunch break unexpectedly. I was very surprised at the product that I had which was a peanut butter and dark chocolate scoop of ice cream then a Philly cheese steak that is listed as U r Philly. Handcut fries well done.…
I went few years ago and had a pretty good philly sandwich. Well lots of changes has happened since my last visit. No more philly which was my reason for returning. Now you have to order from a computer screen. And must importantly quality has dropped. I order the bacon, cheese,…
