Fatburger & Buffalo's Express Opened at the Camarillo Premium Outlets on October 26th

Delicious looking Fatburgers

Fatburger & Buffalo’s Express recently opened a 2nd Ventura County location; this one at the Camarillo Premium Outlets, 740 E. Ventura Blvd, #220 in Camarillo. locations.fatburger.com/united-states/ca/camarillo

Fatburger was founded by Lovie Yancey in the neighborhood of Exposition Park in Los Angeles in 1947. It was originally named "Mr. Fatburger" (on behalf of Yancey's boyfriend), until the "Mr." was removed by Yancey in 1952. At that time, she bought out her start-up partners and retained sole ownership of the Fatburger brand until 1990, keeping and operating the original store on Western Avenue along with the La Cienega Boulevard store (La Cienega/San Vicente).

At select Fatburger locations (including both of our Ventura County locations), you’ll find authentic buffalo-style wings from Buffalo’s Cafe, called Buffalo’s Express

Buffalo Wings are offered either bone-in or boneless, in quantities of 6, 10, 16 or 24. Wings are served with celery, carrots & your choice of bleu cheese, ranch or honey mustard.

Fatburgers come in four sizes: Medium (Original) (1/3 lb), Large (Kingburger) (1/2 lb), XXL (Double Kingburger) (1 lb) and XXXL (Triple Kingburger) (1.5 lbs).
