We prove Fatou's theorem for nonnegative harmonic functions with respect to subordinate Brownian motions on bounded $C^{1,1}$ open sets $D$. We prove that nonnegative harmonic functions with respect to such processes on $D$ converge nontangentially almost everywhere with respect to the surface measure as well as the harmonic measure restricted to the boundary of the domain. In order to prove this, we first prove that the harmonic measure restricted to $\partial D$ is mutually absolutely continuous with respect to the surface measure. We also show that tangential convergence fails on the unit ball.
