A little later than expected, Fat Boy Drive-In in Brunswick will open this summer after online speculation about whether or not the roadside attraction would return for another season.

A popular spot for burgers, sandwiches, frappes and more, the 1950s-style drive-in will open for the 2026 season on Friday, June 26, according to a Facebook message from the business.

A “long, bitter winter” caused plumbing damage and set back the opening date this year, a representative of the business said. In previous years, it opened in May.

The Boulos Company recently listed the restaurant for sale. It appears to have also been up for sale in 2024.

In addition to car-side dining, Fat Boy is unveiling a new play area for kids and picnic tables this year.

The Burton Family founded Fat Boy Drive-In on Bath Road in 1955. The Burtons sold the summertime spot to local restauranter Mike Jerome in 2020, according to the business’ website.
