After almost 30 years of serving UAB and the Southside of Birmingham, local favorite Fat Sam’s Sub Station is closing its doors for good on Saturday, Oct. 15.
For the past fewmonths, Shatara’s eldest son, Mitri, a current full-time history student at UAB set to graduate in the spring, has been running the restaurant with the help of his longtime employees since the passing of his father and beloved owner Salman Shatara in May due to complications following a car accident.
