Fat Jimmy’s

We are frequent visitors to Fat Jimmy’s after sporting events with our kids. The buffet is piping hot and fresh. It makes for a quick meal and everyone is happy! The salad bar is yummy and the bacon chicken ranch pizza is our family favorite! Nice staff too!

First visit to Fat Jimmy’s! We were trying to find a pizza buffet on Sunday and had low expectations since no one ever seems to be there, but it was pretty good! They had about 8 different pies ready and a couple were fun and experimental. Very pleasantly surprised…

My family of four, 2 adults & 2 kids, visited Fat Jimmy’s Middletown tonight to support a fundraiser for our school. This was our first visit and it was a hit for the entire family. My 9 yr old said, «that was really good tonight! Can we go back?»
Pricing is reasonable — for $ 25, we all go the buffet and the kids drinks were included. My husband and I opted for water. We were pumped about finding a pizza buffet at night. You can also order full pizzas, calzones and sub sandwiches or carry-​out.
The buffet included taco soup (yum!), salad, garlic balls, cheese bread, a variety of pizza and cinnamon balls. Considering our school packed every seat, the team at Fat Jimmy’s did a great job keeping the food hot and ready as well as clearing tables.
My kids also enjoyed the coloring pages, Dum Dum suckers and giant chalk board on the back wall.
Considering the crowd, bigger parties fit comfortably by pulling tables together. They also have 4 large booths to fit 6 – 8 people sitting at the windows.
Looking forward to returning — and thank them for providing our school families with a great night of fundraising.

Great pizza at a great price. Had a buffet for lunch, and the pizza was great. Had a large selection of hot pizza, and salad. Pizza was thin crust and reminded me of a new York style pizza. Thin crunchy crust with lots of good cheese. Ten bucks including drink. Well worth the trip,

Ate this pizza at least once a week when I was pregnant! Craved it! Lol! 8 years later we still love it. And the owner «Fat Jimmy,» who is no where near «fat», is so nice!!!

Just ok… Pizza options were constantly replaced and hot. Not a huge selection, with pizza that tastes a lot like Cicis.

The buffet was good the wife liked the fresh salad and I liked the selection of pizza and COOKIES!

On my never-​ending quest to entirely avoid if possible the major fast food chains, my boys and I stopped by the Middletown Fat Jimmy’s after a rousing afternoon of laser tag at Renaissance Fun Park just down the road, because what’s the point in burning calories if you can’t carb load after?
I’m trying to recall if I’d ever been to another Fat Jimmy’s at some time in the past. While that may be possible it was apparently not memorable so I’ll approach this review as if I were a newbie. This restaurant is fairly no nonsense and not large, the interior is a few tables, chairs and a few TVs, a large mural depicting I suppose a variety of photos of Fat Jimmy workers and regulars on the wall as you enter. A pizza/​salad buffet reminds me strikingly how similar this is to a Mr Gatti’s. But it does a couple things better, (1) the food, and (2) the price. The food tastes better and the staff is pretty good at keeping fresh pizzas up on the warmers. The price is fantastic as the 3 of us ate and ate for under $ 17. And on a Saturday, no less.
While I would consider adding a little warmth and maybe a few booths to the interior to make it a bit more inviting, I give Fat Jimmy’s props for keeping things simple and cheap, too.

Love love love the pizza here, fresh and natural ingredients make the best pizza. Don’t love the layout of the place, but other than that, yum!

First visit tonight. Walked in and noticed kids eat free on Monday nights. WIN! The pizza as others have noted is not great but good enough for the price. The buffet offers lots of options. The cheese bread, garlic balls and sweet balls are awesome. To top it off beer is cheap if you care to indulge. I will be back next Monday with the family :)

I have no complaints about Fat Jimmy’s lunch buffet. I love pizza and love all I can eat. Winning! You must, if you do nothing else in life, try the grilled chicken ranch pizza. Oh an sweet balls!

Love’em and miss’em since they moved. Best Stromboli I’ve ever had. Pizza is good but the sandwiches are why I go. Miss the roast beef.

Took the grandkids for pizza today. The buffet offers a variety of pizza with all the standard favorites. They also have what they call «balls» which they serve as a dough ball with garlic butter and another one that’s sweet with icing. The salad bar is ok with two types of lettuce and a small variety of toppings. The kids enjoyed as they are not hard to please since to them quantity is more important than quality. I thought the pizza was just ok. It was kinda bland and didn’t have enough sauce. The salad toppings were fair, but didn’t seem to be fresh. The croutons were stale and there was no cheese or bacon which I consider staple to a good bar. Cost for four adults and two kids was $ 35. Used a coupon for drinks. While the price was good, the pizza was just so so. There are much better pizza places to choose from in town.

Great hot fresh pizza buffet in a very family friendly atmosphere. Very fairly priced & you can see the owner Jimmy working hard all the time.

They don’t have a lot of add ons to their salad. But if you like no-​frills pizza buffet, then, this place is for you!
