Fat Cheeks is a sandwich shop, but the menu is delicious. Try the Lobster Roll, and you will be in great Joy!!!! Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. The classic soft bread roll is stuffed full of claw and knuckle meat, warm tender, and loaded with real butter. That is all. Simple, but if you like Lobster, that is what you taste. Pure, juicy, eyes rolling back in your head as your smile broadens in pleasure.Shrimp sandwich, fried fish, fried chicken all hand made to order. I will be back. Next tlme Lobster BLT.

The buttery lobster roll is actually better than any I’ve eaten, including the Maine rolls I ate last month! This place is top notch. The shrimp roll with the avacado sauce and herb garlic butter added just the right touch for the huge prawns in this dish. I also highly suggest fries as they are perfectly fried to order with a crispy outer texture and fluffy potato inside (can I say “perfect” fry? . Some of the friendliest people on the island! Be sure to tip the staff, they deserve it!! I normally am one and done as I try to find local non-chain restaurants to enjoy, but this is a definite place I will be a repeat, every trip!

Food took around 15 minutes which I thought was a little long but can’t complain because the food was hot and fresh. I think there should be a sign or the person working the register tell customers where to pick up since I noticed many people would have to walk to the counter and then to the back to pick up food after their reminder device goes off.

As stated before I am originally from Maine and worked in the Seafood industry, so when I see a lobster ???? Ihave to stop. I also went crazy and did the BLT which is way out of character for me as a purist. However, I was pleasantlysurprised how it came together. The price is high but what one would expect in this area. Sherri had the spicy chicken sandwichand although messy, very good. The service was very friendly and the fries/ lemon tar well done. They even made us fresh ones.Sitting outside was relaxing and comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and well kept. We also noticed security walking around.We are gonna come back and check out more down here in the future.

The roll was buttery without being greasy and it was filled with the luscious lobster meat. The bread was soft and crispy. I think a side of fries to share would have made itperfect!
