This is a tiny bar in a strip mall, it's the perfect "you cannot judge a book by its cover" spot. While from the outside (and inside) it looks like a dive bar. The food was delicious. We were on a mission for good wings and after a quick google search we found this place. Portion sizes were def huge for the prices which was nice, we left full and happy. Like the other reviews stated the man behind the bar also serves the tables, we had to order at the bar and get our drinks from the bar. They only brought our food directly to our table in the dining room. I'm not taking off any stars bc we were sorta prepared for that from other reviews. We will definitely be back read more

Fatty McGees - Great portion sizes for the prices - Bars Near Me - East Islip, New York

Amazing wings, at least two lbs of fries and the game is always on. No like literally whatever sports game is live, the music is getting turned off and you're hearing it! It's a dive bar so service is so so but the wings make it worth it. I recommend walking right up to bar, putting in your order and then taking a seat. read more

Your local dive bar with the best wings on Long Island! My husband and I love trying wings all over the island and so far Fatty Mcgee's wings are in the number #1 spot on our list! We had the Buffalo wings, Hoboe wings (mix of Buffalo and teriyaki) and a basket of fries. Keep in mind we already started eating the wings and fries before I took the photo They looked so good we couldn't wait! read more

Wings were amazing. The hobo sauce is to die for. Erik the owner one of the nicest guys I ever met

I ended up here based on a recommendation. When asking people from the area where to get the best wings. It is an old school bar with a fairly large seating area with tables. I believe the kids these days would classify this place as "retro" because of the 90's-2000's music playing and the 2 foot speakers hanging from the walls from an old radio system. It was clean and the seating in the bar area was updated. There was one employee who was serving the bar and the seating area. He was doing a great job handling drinks and food but wasn't the most friendly probably because he was running the whole show. The wings were up at the top of the list of wings in the area. They were hot, crispy, and flavorful. If you want to hang and have some drinks and hot food don't let the appearance fool you. read more

Fatty McGees - Bars Near Me - East Islip, New York

im pregnant and all I wanted was fatty mcgees wings (I've been coming here for years) I tried to place a order on the phone but no answer so I drove to order from fattys. when I got there I asked to place a simple wing order to go. she told me she won't place a order to go bc the inside was to busy and If I wanted to order I had to stay and eat. which makes zero sense? why would a pregnant lady want to sit in a loud bar when all I wanted was a order of wings to go. I never complain, especially a place I've been going to but this was alittle absurd. read more

Cool little dive bar, came here after going to Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park! Me and my gf were looking to grab lunch and I just googled bars near by and went off reviews. This place looked like the had good wings. I ordered buffalo boneless wings with a side order of fries and my gf got chicken fingers with a side of fries. Let me start by saying the portions of food here is very huge. Realistically you can order one order of fries and wings and split it. I regretted getting 2 order of fries when we could a just got one. They give you so many fries lol. Food quality was decent but the buffalo wings for my liking were a lil way to salty. The sauce they put on wings was overly salty for my pallet and liking, but the quality is there. Bartender was very attentive and a sweet heart. Drinks are nothing special, I got a margarita and it had a nasty after taste I didn't like. I think it was cause she put something in it off the taps and they were cleaned in a long time. My margarita had a after taste like if the taps were connected to the toilet bowl lol. I recommend just sticking to beer. Overall, not a bad bar at all. You typical local bar with all the local regulars. I would come back here and get food but definitely nothing to rave about. read more

Fatty McGees - Boneless buffalo wings - Bars Near Me - East Islip, New York

You can't always go by what you hear on TikTok/Instagram. We were in the mood for wings tonight and I recall seeing a video with Rob Martinez interviewing Chef Michael Clemente and he asked him what is the best place for wings and he raved about Fatty McGee's. So we said let's give it a go. We walk in and the first thing I got was a musty odor smell. Nothing terrible though. They didn't have a waitress so we had to place our order at the bar. Looked over the menu and decided to have the hobonero and Buffalo traditional wings. They sell them 12 in a basket. (That wasn't mention on the menu) also there wasn't a price, it said market value. ( we paid $17 for 12) We also ordered the bacon cheese fries. We waited about 20 mins for our food. Let's talk about the wings.. The hobonero sauce was a mildly hot BBQ sauce and the buffalo sauce was a medium spicy. The wings were on the small side, but were fried Crispy. Overall they were good, just wish there were bigger and meatier. The fires were like shoestring fries and were hot. I do have to mention is that they Do Not offer is Heinz ketchup. Looked and tasted like an Aldi's brand. It wasn't bad but it wasn't Heinz! Overall Fatty McGees was good but we probably won't go back. But if you're in the area stop by and try them out. read more

Great local "dive." The wings are, in my opinion, unbeatable. Friendly locals, great cheap food. What's not to like?!

Best wings on the Island. Ambiance is not updated but who cares. Service is amazing as well.

Not my kind of spot anymore, crap beer selection, crap service, crappy dive. The dive part I can get behind, even the wings are good but not worth the half hour wait. Not into this spot at all due to my hungry impatience, and their slow attitudes read more

Fatty McGees - Not bad - Bars Near Me - East Islip, New York

Fine local pub I visit often with friends bartenders are cool and the beers are too ;)

Amazing local bar, chill vibe and great wings 10/10. Definitely recommend trying it out

So this is a Sports Bar that is Cash Only and it's parking lot is shared with neighboring businesses, so parking space might be limited. As you enter, you'll notice that The Bar Area is pressed against the wall and is connected to the kitchen. There's two dinning areas, one that's closer to the bar with tables and chairs, while the other is set up with booths. They offer an ATM, Arcade Games such as Golf, Dart Board, Multiple Big Screen TV's, TouchTunes, and they play QuickDraw here. They have about 8 beers on tap, with a fairly large and diverse menu of food to select from, at affordable prices. Separate restrooms for men and women, and smoking can be done outside the front or rear of the building. It's unique feature is the walls that are decorated with a sports theme, including a collage of photos from its customers. This place has a cozy atmosphere about it and is worth checking out. read more

Wings 10 out of 10 bussin crispy and hot and the sauce is so good. Beers cold and the staff is nice.

Great wings! This bar is so Long Island it hurts "that's a good thing". The layout is nice, lots of TVs & great appetizers. One recommendation, offer a side of gravy with your perogies, sour cream is a just ok dipping option. That being said I'll be back soon. read more

I've drank here a bunch of times but finally had the full food experience tonight so it's time to leave a review! Dive bar you ask? This place has all the qualities. I tried to bring my 15 year old sister here once for food and she made me turn around because of the outside appearance. I come here weekly with my kickball league and Fatty's is courteous enough to house all of us and fulfill all of our drinking/eating needs. Tonight I ordered naked buffalo wings, just wings with no breading on them. The wings were on the smaller side but the sauce had just the right amount of spiciness to it that I like, served with chunky bleu cheese. The food took a little long and I was starting to wonder if my wings were given to someone else after waiting that long. The bartenders are awesome though and very quick to take your order! read more

This is the quintessential neighborhood bar. Very casual, relaxed atmosphere. Lots of tv's which are always tuned to whatever sports happen to be on, so if that's your thing you will love it here. They have a typical pub style menu, but the food is good and reasonably price and they have the best wings and their steak is outstanding. On Friday nights they have 2 for 1 apps which is a great deal. Along with a selection of beer on tap, reasonably priced mixed drinks and bottled beer. The bartenders are all friendly and attentive. So becoming a regular is very easy, which I have to say my husband and I are. read more

This was such a laid back place. The bartender was very welcoming and accommodating. The menu was well explained and samples of the sauces were given before we committed to them. Food was fresh, hot and all delicious. I had their famous wings and they were so good! We are from Texas and was so glad to find a great place to drink and have family time!! read more

Typical but amazing barfood. Went here last night with my son and had the burger, wings and mozzarella sticks. The burger was the best I have had in a really long time. Beats out any of these so-called gourmet burger places. Taste like simply seasoned beef cooked on the barbecue in your backyard just the way you like it. I asked for it to be cooked to medium and that's exactly what I got. The thick meat patty was soft and so good and the burger came with lettuce, tomato and pickles and a hefty portion of fries. The wings were amazing. Buffalo sauce the way it should be made. Extremely good classic flavor. The mozzarella sticks left a little to be desired. They were fine for bar food but not the best I've had. I'm only giving four stars because I think they should have a better beer selection. No Sam Adams and none of the craft beers that are rampant on Long Island. Bring in some Blue Point beer, Great South Bay, Montauk brewery, etc. The only thing they had was a Goose Island IPA. I'm not fond of IPAs as I would rather have a stout or a wheat beer (not Bud, yuck) to go with my burger. So many great breweries out here and none of them were represented in this bar. The waitress was very friendly and once she noticed we were there, took care of us right away. Everything was brought out quickly. My son said he now knows why the place is called Fatty McGee's. I will definitely be going back. read more

Fatty McGees - Fatty burger with bacon and cheese, wings and mozzarella sticks. - Bars Near Me - East Islip, New York

DIVE BAR. Darkly lit with a mixed crowd. Comfortable place to watch a game. Fatty's has some of the best wings in the area, and maybe even farther than that. I wish they would bottle and sell their Hoboe sauce, I find myself craving it all the time! Burgers/sliders are always cooked just right, and Friday night's 2 for 1 apps is a steal. Though be aware wings are not included in that deal. Only reason I'm taking a star off is their obnoxiously high $30 card minimum. They obviously want to make a little extra money off you with their ATM machine. That shit pisses me off. Bring cash. read more

Always a good time at fatty McGees! We come here for their jalapeño poppers and half off apps on Friday nights! They're apps are all really good, the only one I wouldn't recommend would be the disco fries. They brought it out with 4 slices of cheese on top, not even melted. We had to ask for them to pop them in the microwave to melt them a bit... they weren't that great. But everything else is ! :) beers and wings with fries YUM! read more

Pretty darn good for a dive bar. Beers were reasonable although we were there after happy hour . Apps from 7 - 10 buy one get one free. , that is from the choices of apps on the left hand side of the menu.. No wings are not part of the special. I believe that's weekdays not sure if every day. Wings were not the best but yes they were fresh and pretty darn good. The ladies room was very clean when I went and used it ,that's a plus for me. Friendly staff. Lots of Tvs. read more

Eh, it was OK. Two beers, chicken nuggets and fries & disco fries for $26 is alright I guess. The chicken nuggets and fries were not worthwhile, however the disco fries actually were worth eating. Not entirely impressed, but didn't expect much from a divey bar. Beer was alright. read more

The neighborhood bar I used to go to once in a while to eat and drink beer. Unfortunately they won't let you take food home anymore so this is the last time I'm ever going there. I would highly recommend not going to this location read more

One of the last good old bars. Great food, cheap beer on tap and lots of tvs. Some bar games and ATM. Cute boy behind the bar. The alarm by the kitchen which I thought was an old pay phone ringing adds to the charm. I drove all the way here from Merrick to try their infamous wings and was not disappointed. Crispy and meaty!! I also had their sliders which were great. Ample bar seating and a decent sized sit down area. I really fell in love with this bar. I just wish it was closer to me. Fatty McGees, my pledge to thee, I'll be back! read more

oh Fatty's. This bar was an accidental visit after a good friend's wedding. Dive bar doesn't even begin to describe this place, and that's one of the reasons I fell in love with it. My first visit was a pregame stop after a church wedding and before a reception. This was the first place I tried Shock Top on draft and that made me happy. The outside of the bar is ultra shady, no windows...you almost think you're heading into a strip club. Inside, plenty of NY sports garb on the walls, especially Islanders stuff which made me laugh. Beers are dirt cheap, bartenders were friendly and one let me take my Yankees pint glass home with me. The bar food is standard...I recommend the toasted raviolis, potato skins, and the grilled chicken sandwich. I returned to Fatty's this weekend for a birthday party and had a blast drinking cheap beers, cheap shots, playing darts and simply enjoying the crowd there. This is not a classy joint at all....the epitome of dive....but if you're in the area, definitely worth a pit stop. Only downside, make sure you have cash on you as the minimum to charge on a credit card is $25. read more

Delicious food! Awesome place to get a drink & chill out with friends. The boho wings are to die for and so are the loaded fries ! Definitely would recommend this place to a friend ! read more

Wings are great. Now that that's out of the way, service is just okay. The servers are good but it seems understaffed at times. Wait times for wings could reach an hour or more. Total dude fest. That said, I still pop in here and there when I have the patience. read more

I honestly do not know what all the hype is about...their famous wings?!? That's laughable...my fiancee has been dying to go out for wings...I'm told this is the local spot for wings and they're awesome...so we sit at a table and while there are a few people scattered around the bar the Bartender tells us we have to come up to order from him because he can't leave the bar...I'm sorry, but if you have tables available for seating and no server scheduled on, than your Bartender takes both the bar seats and physically approaches the tables for service...but ok, I go up and order for us. 12 buffalo, 6 bourbon, and 6 hoboe...they came out and there was absolutely nothing special about them. Most of them were not that crispy, definitely way over sauced, and the buffalo wings weren't even spicy...one of the other sauces smelled like Frank and beans, and the other sauce was alright...I would not go back here for wings, or food for that matter if they pride themselves on the wings and those aren't even that good...I guess they've been a staple in the area for so long people just think that's what good wings are, but we left very unimpressed and won't be returning. read more

A (very good) neighborhood dive bar - typical beers on tap and standard fare available by the bottle. Bartenders are quick and courteous and the food comes out of the kitchen quickly. I do enjoy the wings - buffalo and bourbon styles are great - haven't tried the hobo style yet. I've had the burger a few times and while it was OK, I not as much a fan as some others posting reviews - tended to be under done for my taste. Loads of TV's if you want to go in and watch a game. read more

Best. chicken. wings. ever. period. the. end. the bourbon are my all time fav extra crispy extra sauce on the side

My wife and I stopped here for some wings during a long drive home. We were very excited at the prospect of getting some wings off the interstate but were unsure as we were running on a deadline. A 20 minute stop turned into an hour waiting. Eventually, we left without even receiving wings. Now I have eaten thousands of wings during the course of my life and never have I had to wait more than 30 minutes. This place is obviously run by a incompetent fool who cant even manage to operate a venue that serves drinks and basic bar snacks. DO NOT VISIT! read more
