If you’ve gone to get groceries at the Publix in Niceville over the last couple of months, you’ve seen the signs – Niceville’s Fatboy’s Restaurant is coming to town.

Now, we have an opening date. Regional Manager Shannon Pelham says the soft opening will happen on Thursday, June 15th.

This new restaurant location is the fifth location where the rapidly-growing burger and chicken restaurant will open in Northwest Florida and Southeast Alabama. The chain opened another location recently in Crestview, Florida, to supplement its locations in Destin, Miramar Beach, and Enterprise, Alabama.

The restaurant will be open from 10 AM to 10 PM, seven days a week.

They feature some gluten-free options, including gluten-free buns, for those inclined. Additionally, the store also has meatless options for vegetarians.

Fatboys also features a full-service bar with bottled beer and mixed cocktails.
