Fat Boy Drive In

New to the Brunswick area when my neighbors became overjoyed at the opening of a local summer restaurant I became interested. Certainly an establishment that has been around for more then 40 years and inspires this much loyalty has to be good. The retro car hop shop seemed pretty cool, until you stop in.... Then you are greeted reluctantly after a 15 minute wait by a girl who is obviously being put out of her way to stop at your vehicle and there is no greeting but we are told 'its gonna be at least 25 minutes if you want anything.' With this enthusiastic approach we decide that we will try another night, after all its Friday and they are probably really busy. BUT when we came back on a slow Tuesday afternoon we waited almost an hour for an order of onion rings, cheese sticks and 2 milk shakes. They food was bland and cold. The service slow and unfriendly. There was nary a glove to be worn by any one I saw handling food. The waitresses went from handling money, to food, to dirty dishes, to trash and peoples cars. A disgusting experience. Perhaps they have been around forever but they should feel blessed to be in such a forgiving community. more

This is a great place for families with young children because they bring the food to you right in your car-kind of a kick back to the good ole days when places like A&W were still around.Its open March -September/October and it's always mobbed! Probably because the food is good,the prices are right and the service is as fast as can be with the amount of people they have to serve.They have a kiddie menu also.They serve burgers,seafood,chicken and much more!You can order "baskets" or full dinners more

I've been eating at the Fat Boy Drive-In Restaurant as long as I can remember. The food there is great and so is the service. All of the gals that fill the role of 'car hop' there are just spectacular. Fat Boy serves burgers, hot dogs, seafood and more! You can eat right in the car or go into the dining room which is equipped with a jukebox! Each summer Fat Boy hosts the "Fat Boy Reunion Sock Hop" right in it's own parking lot. It is a 50's themed night complete with old cars, gals in poodle skirts and even food prices from the 50's! It's a great time for anyone over the age of 21! BYOB! Don't forget to try their old fashioned Frappes! more
