This place has gone downhill very quickly. Facilities in need of a major restoration. Inside dining is no longer an option. No longer has pretty young women working as car hops. Food is good but it's just not the same.

Yummy and cheap. Love the vibe and the service is great. Food is pretty basic but good and portions are pretty good.

I haven’t been here in a few years since they changed owners… I was a little apprehensive after people talking about it not being the same and all that jazz! Let me tell you we have gone twice now and yes maybe some things have changed but prices aren’t bad and my burger both times have been juicy and delicious!! The fries were piping hot! Service was great both times! The second time especially! The kid waiting on us was so nice and friendly!! People don’t like change I get it! But honestly I think it was just as good when it was old owners!! Give it a real try!!

It looks a little dirty on the outside, but it feels like you are back in the 50’s with the music and the vibe

Waited 15 minutes and nobody took our order. They took orders from 3 people who showed up after me. Had to go inside to get attention and order. Lack of attention and details
Classic Maine Charm and Great Eats at Fat Boy Drive-In
Fat Boy Drive-In is everything you want in a nostalgic roadside stop: classic vibes, friendly service, and food that hits the spot. We stopped by while visiting Maine and were instantly charmed by the old-school carhop setup and laid-back atmosphere.
The menu is full of comfort food favorites, and everything we tried was delicious. The onion rings were crispy and golden, the Royal Burger was juicy and flavorful, and the fried scallops were perfectly cooked with a light, crunchy coating that let the fresh seafood shine. We topped it all off with a caramel frappe that was rich, creamy, and absolutely worth the calories.
Service was quick and friendly, and even though it was busy, the staff kept things moving with a smile. It’s clear this place has been a local favorite for generations and now we know why.
If you're anywhere near Brunswick, Fat Boy Drive-In is a must-visit. Whether you're craving a burger, seafood, or just a blast from the past, this spot delivers.

So sad. A shadow of its former self. Been coming here for 60 years. The days of beautiful seafood baskets, pints of stellar fried seafood, thick wonderful ice cream frappes, music from the jukebox are gone. Didn’t get to have our usual lobster rolls because they were out of lobster (really?) nor could they make a chocolate frappe(!). And what are they using in their frappes anyhow, these days? Our black raspberry frappe was some strange concoction of flavoring and milk - didn’t hold a candle to the Fat Boy frappes of old. The crabmeat was an odd pinkish color. The burgers thin and overcooked. The whole place is dilapidated. Picnic tables way the heck away from the restaurant, clearly too far for the hops going back and forth. It was such a sad experience. The only light was the super sweet friendly hop. Unfortunately, this visit marked the end of an era for us. Will have to find another go-to for our food stop as we travel north for the summer.

Prompt, friendly service & very tasty food. Great when you want to grab a quick bite but are feeling burnt out by fast food. Definitely worth stopping by!

Fantastic! Fat Boy opened with new owners this year and it is exactly what you know and love about a drive in. This is a true throw back to the best parts of summer childhood. The carhops are fast, friendly, efficient and make the experience great. The food is priced better than any chain restaurant junk. Let me tell you. The food is so good. We got a cheese burger, hot dog, fries and onion rings and they were are so well made. If you are going to try anything though try the fries and onion rings. They are top notch!! We will be coming all season to enjoy the hospitality and food..Glad to have this icon up and running.
