This place, right off the main runway of the (now closed) Brunswick Naval Air Station, is one of the very few non-chain, car-hop restaurants left in the country. Spent waay too much time here as a high school student, but they had and still have, the best onion rings and shakes around. Service is always quick, food very good, and... More

I frequent here about once a month. Except on opening day, I never find the wait too long. Fried scallops and onion rings for me...everytime. The batter is perfect--very light with a nice texture. The staff is friendly and the food always arrives hot!

We have been to Fat Boy a few times and their food is very tasty. The atmosphere of a 50's type Drive is very interesting. Plan to wait a few minutes for your food as this is a very popular spot to eat!

I travel to Brunswich several times a year to visit my daughter and this is a must stop while I am visiting. There burgers are great and lobster rolls are the best I have had since visiting Maine. Onion rings are good and crispy. This is a must place to visit if you are in the Brunswich area.

When you pull in, you can choose to have the wait staff serve you at your vehicle, just turn your lights on and they come wait on you, or you can go inside on a chilly night! You can't beat the prices!!! I took a menu with me, just so I could show everyone you can really get a good... More

It drives me crazy to hear people in other cars complaining about the wait. So read this: there is ALWAYS a very long wait. Chill. The food is cheap, the atmosphere is retro and its all about the waiting. It's nice to sit and talk. The food is basic drive in food but you get to spend a few minutes... More

Just had a good lunch with my wife at Fat Boy Drive In and we both enjoyed our first visit. I had the Royal cheeseburger basket and my wife had the grilled ham and cheese with fries. Both sandwiches were cooked correctly and served quickly, while still hot. The fries were also done well. The service was excellent and the... More

Go every summer- fun and unique experience. Fresh fish sandwich and onion rings are very tasty. Milkshakes are delicious as well. Staff is usually friendly.
