Best drive-thru burger in town. Local chain ran by Iranian immigrants. Demand is high so waits can be long but my patience has always been rewarded with a smile. They definitely match the attitude of their customer. It’s probably hot in that burger shack—be kind! Oh also, always Cajun fries and their milkshakes are worth it.

This is the best hamburger joint in Nashville - don’t get fooled by the glitz and the glamour of Nashville’s “burger boutiques.” If you want a real burger, stop by Fat Mo’s. You can avoid the wait by calling in your order.
