Fette Sau is hard to find.  It does not have your typical storefront restaurant entrance.
Instead, there is a fence with a small, glowing sign on the top that says Fette Sau. It is located on Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg, between Roebling and Havemeyer. The front of the space is an outdoor picnic area, which is usually full by 6pm. As you walk by, you can see and small all of the delectable meats which you are about to eat.  After passing this area, you enter the restaurant which is a large, fairly industrial space. There are picnic tables set up inside where patrons dine side by side with strangers.

The menu is written daily on the chalkboard andthere is free water in the cooler. Usually there is a queue of about 5 people waiting inline to order. You place your order with the person at thecounter and then take your food to an empty table (if you are lucky.) There is also a bar where you can get beers and whiskey. The taps are all decorated with knives which is a bit intimidating at first.
