The food was delicious, but the hospitality from the owner was great too. He welcomed us, made suggestions, and was overall pleasant. The burgers were tasty, my husband and I both enjoyed the ones we got. There’s quite a selection of food items, you’d be hard pressed to find something not for you here. The theme is uniquely inspired by 90s & aughts (00s) rappers which I thought was great. Overall, give it a chance. If you’re into burgers and supporting locally in our community, try it! I mean look at the freakin Mac burger?!??!
This was my 1st time going to phat stax, if you are a oldies rap fan this place is definitely for you, their are other posters and art that will catch you’re eyes from other many of different music artist, and I’ll fs be coming back but I had the 2 pac burger overall it was the bomb 10/10, There was other options to choose from maybe next time I comeback I’ll try the SPM. Lastly the place was clean, employees were nice and fantastic helping customers.
I don’t usually leave reviews, but this place definitely deserves some recognition. The burgers here are next level! Juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection—exactly what you hope for when you’re craving a great burger. The buns were fresh and held up nicely, and the toppings were generous without being overwhelming. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick even though the place was busy. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. Also, shoutout to their fries—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Total game-changer. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this place is a must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Great atmosphere with witty names for their menu items as respect to old school hip hop artists. There’s a secret menu you should check out before making your decision on what to eat. Including the hot Cheeto burger which is what I ended up deciding on which was delicious. I will definitely go back to try more!
Food first: thin patties stacked as high as you want them. Very unique flavors and killer combinations. That char on each patty makes the flavor deep. Atmosphere: If the food wasn't bomb (it is), then the atmosphere is still reason enough to hang here. Walking straight into 90s hip-hop/rap world. Articles, posters, signed records, bobble heads--it is a great collection and is so nostalgic. Great service, cool place to be. Tupac 4eva.
This place is phenomenal! The menu is awesome along w named for each meal, old school music culture is splattered in the building, such a cool environment. They have old school games you can play on as well. Workers check on you often making sure you are doing alright. Bathrooms are clean and they have feminine essentials in there along with a changing table! Would definitely recommend, and will definitely be coming back.
I love the 90's hip-hop aesthetic and spent way too long at my table watching the music videos on the TV . This is an enjoyable spot. The burger was soooo good, not over seasoned or overcooked with fresh lettuce, tomatoes and some juicy pickles. Packet condiments are on the table, although I enjoyed the flavor of my burger so much that I never added any. Burger & friesdrink (free refills)tip14.95. Definitely worth the price. 2-Pac Tuesday taco Tuesday (2-pac burger special on Tuesday) Inviting, entertaining and will have you planning a trip back before you get back to your car.
Ordered the G cheesy and it was delicious! Despite being busy we got our food out in a timely manner and the cashier was very attentive. Loved the hip- hop decor. Great option when looking to have a casual lunch or dinner.
