Testimonials

Don't waste your time going anywhere else for BBQ, this is the only place you will ever have to visit. Friendly wait staff, customers are almost all locals. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to Fat Ivors!

We went to Fat Ivor’s to get our rib fix. The all you can eat beef ribs are amazing. The four of us did some work and piled the bones high. Great food fun and atmosphere. A must visit if you are in San Diego North County.

This restaurant should be a foodie must stop destination! A great motorcycle ride destination from a 76 cruise into Valley Center! The restaurant has that small town feel and is very quaint and cozy.

Each time I've frequented Fat Ivor's, two things are readily apparent; the friendly small town vibe combined with passion for the craft. Their inspiring story is printed on the menu.

If you're a local then you already know...beef ribs!!! If driving through, know, this is a local spot. Seat yourself if there is room. Definitely try the mushrooms and onion blossom on the appetizer menu! Someone must get the "All You Can Eat" ribs! And heads up the portions are family size.
