Love CARS fat sandwiches! always satisfies my cravings when i want a treat with something cheesy, meat filled, fried and filling! My go to is the Fat-Doug sandwich. The sandwiches are big and very filling. I buy a large sandwich and cut it up to "meal prep" when I need a quick tasty meal for the next day. Taste best fresh though of course. You definitely need to figure out which sandwich is good as everyone's go to is different but if you look through all the options, you'll surely find something good for you. The fried mac and cheese bites are delicious as well. I like to give it an extra minute or two in the air fryer. Service is good and the place itself is simple and cute.

Very interesting place. Wanted a late night snack but it turned into a late night meal. The food was great and the sandwiches are huge. Service was very fast and friendly. The shakes are pretty average but there is a wide variety. The atmosphere was very relaxed. Overall great place.

I was greeted at the Cashier, I believe his name was Ashton. He saw I was having a down day and then proceeded to make it better. Great customer service, would recommend. Those Fat Patricks are to die for. Literally. Shoutout to my guys at this CARS

Fat Patrick in a wrap all day! You only live once might as well get a fat sandwich! For the most part the food is pretty damn good. Service is sometimes slow but if you know what you want order it through Yelp for pick up so your wait will be less... otherwise good luck cause there's always something to try on their menu. Ambiance reminds me of a dinner and seems clean. This place isn't for you if you're watching what you eat lol even though they do have vegetarian options.. that maybe, maybe I would try but like the 600lb meme says "nobody on my 600lb life is single, so go ahead and eat that cupcake" so go all out order a fat sandwich

Sometimes I wake up in the morning in a ghastly and ghostly panic. My mind in a fever rush looks into the skies that are my bedroom fan, filled with so much dust... wow I should really clean this thing like once in a lifetime shouldnt I? Beside the point, my mind thinks to itself... does this place CARS even exist or did I make it up. I mean it seems fake. Everything about it. The food served. The hours. The people that work here. The people that order from here. And even stranger, the people that even eat in here. Although have to eat in the spot itself every once in a while to get your dose of reality and peak your sense of wonder. This place is simply not 5 stars but I'm also not gonna not give this 5 stars just straight off vibes and nostalgia. There is merit to a place that comes into everyone under the influence's mind when they become hungry passed let's say 10 PM anyday of the week. That 1AM hammered meal that you know for absolute certainty will hit the spot as long as you stay up long enough. And if you don't, you wake up the next morning hung with a Fat Tony in the fridgeeee oh man we all know that feeling. Whatever, I'm hip... I'm cool... I get it. And even after I say all this... it's really even pretty decent sober. Milkshakes, boneless wings, wraps, etc... is it almost too stereotyped? I'm not really gonna fight anymore for it's quality it's just not worth the battle. We know what it is. They know what it is. And it is what it is, because it needs to be what it is, not because it wants to be what it is. And that is noble, I don't care what you say. 5/5 because I simply recommend everyone try this place one in there lifetime. Something so bliss and so Americanoooo about these sandwich skepticals. Such skeptical of a spot that you almost feel a sense of pride and entitlement for it, mixed with a sense of foreignality all in one.

This is the best late night food around! They have creative and delicious sandwiches, fries, shakes and more. The food is rich and greasy, but that is just what you need when you're a little drunk. I recommend the FatDoug or the FatHawk. The waffle fries are great with honey mustard. I really enjoyed the vanilla milkshake!

CARS has a rather large menu but I've only ever had their fat sandwiches. Being a Rutgers alumnus I think I can be considered a respectable authority on fat sandwiches. That being said, CARS fat sandwiches stack up to the real thing. I ordered the Fat Reptar: Cheesesteak, chicken tenders, mac and cheese bites, jalapeño slices and Buffalo- ranch dressing. Ridiculously indulgent. But hey, you have to treat yourself, right? The sandwich tastes exactly how you'd expect it to, this isn't exactly fine dining. With that, everything in the sandwich was done well; the chicken and cheese and weren't dry and the Mac and cheese was the right amount of cheesy for a sandwich. I ordered the 8' sandwich and it was just the right amount to curb my hunger. You could probably split the foot long between two and have both people satisfied. I've been to CARS in the past, when they were operating out of a deli/bagel shop. My experience has always been pretty consistent. I have fond memories of making runs to them for drunk food during house parties. I think the only time they've ever messed up my order was when they gave me more food than I asked for. Who would complain about that? One slight annoyance was the mass of teenagers loitering around the entrance. They weren't rude or obnoxiously loud, but it just made getting to the door more work than it should have been.
