Fat Boy's Seafood Kitchen

We had heard this was the place. We wait for months for the reopening. Finally saw on FB it had reopened, with limited days/hours. **cash only** (didn't realize until we got there) We both ordered the large platter. Plenty of food. Quite atmosphere. For us the lack of any seasoning was a bummer. The batter on the fried seafood just didn't exist. For those who prefer that, this IS the place. It was a bit bland for our palette. However we are glad it reopened, so we could try this place. No alcohol, simple menu. If looking for a quiet place to grab a bite, Thu/Fri/Sat this is a good option.

I got a shrimp Poboy and fries and as always it was delicious. I love this place! It's way better than the place next-door

This place definitely needed an updated review. Met friends from the North Shore here for lunch on a Saturday. Known for their seafood but also for their burgers. The 4 of us opted for the latter. Each couple chose a cheeseburger and a slaw burger. Hand- formed patties. Thick and juicy. The slaw was a great addition flavorwise, but the cheeseburgers were great just as they were. The buns were different: more like square rolls. No complaints.Each came with a huge portion of crinkle fries. Meh. Half of the burgers left in to go containers.Nice friendly service. Will definitely be back. This time for what is in their name: seafood.Cash only.

Had a fine meal here. Was driving through the area and needed some food. They do only take cash but have an atm (requires a pin.) I got the shrimp poboy and husband got the swamp fries. The poboy had good soft bread and a lot of well-crusted-but -not -so-much-you-can't-taste-the-shrimp shrimp. The swamp fries are swampy with a rich soupy gravy. Service was friendly and there are a few small front porch outdoor tables if you're still a person who eats outside. Recommend

Employees are slightly rude. The food amazing. Annoying they only take cash payments.

Grabbed lunch while waiting for a kayak tour. The tour coordinator recommended Fat Boys. The restruant next door looked crowded. We ordered at the counter when we entered. TMy husband had a bowl of gumbo and I had the fried shrimp dinner. The gumbo came with a bowl of rice, coleslaw and toast. There was lots of chicken and sausage. There were at least 12 good sized shrimp, fries, coleslaw and toast. The shrimp were crispy, coated in a cornmeal batter and tender. They were very fresh and flavorful.

Decided to try this place out. I heard it's better than middendorfs and it's right next door. My boyfriend got the swamp burger which is a burger with roast, gravy, and cheese on it. It was perfectly seasoned, not too juicy and messy. Very tasty. The fries were just okay. I got the shrimp and catfish combo. There was a lot of food for my buck. The seafood was fresh but I wish there was more seasoning in the batter. A little Tony's would have definitely taken this up several levels. The catfish was thin and airy. They also were cash only which is always a little disappointing in this day and age.

Best seafood around. Skip Middendorfs and eat fat boys and you will be very happy you did. Like moms cooking for you.

A hidden gem it had the best tasting chicken and sausage gumbo I've tasted. The seafood platter was nicely fried and oh the garlic fries were awesome. Homemade coleslaw. Restroom was clean even though it was unisex. Customer service was great!

This place was so good! Hot, fast and delicious. Way better than their next door neighbor. Cash only.
