Flavors Around The Square ~ F.A.T.S.

I thought to myself, ‘how am I going to make it through this crowd’

Stellar service, well prepared for that situation!

Larger than needed portions - great tasting food!

I just can’t seem to think that this place has never been on my radar before! Awesome job and team you have!

Had a excellent breakfast good coffee . Old building nicely decorated the tall ceiling lends it to echo a little bit. Quick service even with it being busy.

3-24 Edit:
Made the mistake of trying lunch. I planned on my usual breakfast detailed below but had recently talked about the burger from Highlander, and that had me wanting a good burger. It sounded like it was going to be similar, so I gave it a shot. It was the double-decker burger with special sauce, and it was actively bad. The sauce was essentially non-existent. Not only was there only a small quantity, but it was generally flavorless. The patties were really anemic and kinda tasted like they were boiled or sat in chafing dishes of warm water waiting to be ordered, no char, texture, or flavor. The whole thing was just kinda wet and sloppy. The bottom bun was so waterlogged, chunks of it were literally falling off the burger as I was eating it. I'm not really a "send food back to the kitchen" or "take this off the bill" kind of person, so I just ate it, but it was really pretty terrible. Was it just an off day for them? Who knows. But I find it next to impossible that anyone would think what I was served was good. So, still needing my burger fix, I'll have to drive out to Highlander Tavern for the best burger I've found in at least 50 miles and just stick to breakfast here, which is always very good.

So this will be my go-to spot for breakfast now. Was super into Market Street, but their prices went up A LOT, prompting us to start looking around. This place hit all the marks. The Corned Beef Hash was homemade (they also have canned, but why), the fried biscuits and gravy were homemade and good (but not a 10), and I added over easy eggs. I wanted everything stacked up, and I think it makes a difference with how the yolk spreads out over everything, but it came kinda separated. I'm sure they'll get used to me soon, though. I was so excited to eat that I forgot to snap a picture for y'all, but I'll get one next time.
Service was good. The prices were really good. Can't wait to go back.

This place is a gem! Fantastic food that won't empty your bank account. The best part is, even when you order to go, the food is still equally as delicious as eating in! You can't go wrong and I've turned so many people onto this place since I've fell in love with it. Although I may get f.a.t.s from it.. lol.

Cute place, friendly staff, and good food.
Got the F.A.T.S. Burger and potato soup. Burger came with a very subtle spicy sauce, jalapeño, lettuce, and tomato.
Very good and hearty lunch. For ~$15

My husband and I stopped in the other morning and found our new favorite breakfast place. The staff was incredibly nice and the food was AMAZING!! I cannot recommend them highly enough! The prices are incredible for the high quality food you receive here. 10/10 will be coming back!! Edit (a year or so after original post?) We come here almost every other weekend to eat breakfast. The photo I have with the review is the Mixed Berry Blintz from 4th of July weekend, it is a special and it is beyond amazing!!

I've never had a bad meal here great place for breakfast fresh fruit fresh coffee clean and the service is totally amazing

Omgoodness!! Mark did an amazing job preparing our breakfast. Everything was delicious. Sam is hands down the BEST server we've ever had. Accurate, efficient, and sweet as pie! Great breakfast. Great prices. 👍🏽

Walking in was pretty full but was attended pretty fast. First time eating at flavors around the square love my eggs and potatoes with toast on the side I see my self coming back to try different things.

This is a really great local diner. The daily lunch specials are a great deal and a great meal. I had the F.A.T.S. burrito scramble and it was delicious. The service is excellent and tables well spaced.

Wonderful spot right in down town Painesville! My wife and I went for her birthday lunch. I had their F.A.T.S Burger and it was cooked to order and extremely fresh. Their fries have to be the best fries I've had in NE ohio and pretty close to the best ever. She had one of their daily specials of half a sandwich and salad and she said it was good to but wished she got the fries. Fantastic service and serene atmosphere. We will definitely be back for breakfast one day soon!

Still the best place to eat in all of Painesville. They are always friendly and have great food. 👍 💚

Great atmosphere and great deals with amazing food and staff!!!!!Friday night AYCE fish fry!! Food is always amazing and quickly made favorite spot to eat and amazing friendly staff!!!

Got the FATS burger, delicious. Small joint but great service.

Love there Greek omelets. Fries are so addicting and staff is wonderful. Very homey feeling.

Very good food, reasonably priced. Awesome staff.

Only downside: the AC blows on (seemingly) every table with the result of cooling food down before I can eat it. That kinda sucks. But still an overall 5-star for the quality and quantity of food.

Oh, and like someone else mentioned... seems to be a recurring problem with getting water filled. Odd, but the rest of the service really is good.

Cozy little breakfast spot. Great breakfast,good service

Love the atmosphere and the people! Great place for a quick bite! Check out this awesome salad!

I really like F.A.T.S. because the food is great and the people are friendly.

Great breakfast and service. Coffee cup kept filled!
