I never will. I was with a boater once that did and somehow hooked the rear of his trailer to the car behind him .
Another guy in a bass club I was in came to the ramp with a mangled fender on his trailer and a long scratch in his boats gelcoat where he caught the yellow post on the drive through. I wonder if that McDonald's sausage and egg were worth it? I bet Ronald the clown was laughing at him.
I do it all the time. I have a list of boat friendly drive thrus. There are some around that are too tight to get a trailer through.

Sometimes. At a Hardee’s close to the lake I will stop and get a biscuit. But it has plenty of room.
No way...........
Some I do, ones I know that are manageable, otherwise I don't go in blind. If you don't know don't go. There's some drive throughs I couldn't get my super duty through without going in the landscaping or over a curb
Not just no but Hail NO!!
No, most around here make a tight left turn that you can barely make with your truck. No way with a trailer.
I do it a good bit... Never a problem. I have pulled a trailer a million miles, and have skills that others obviously don't.

Sometimes if they have enough room to make the sharp left turn. Don't see anything wrong with it if you're careful. Likely less trouble with he boat than parked out on the outer edge of the parking lot, out of sight.
There's a Sonic Drive-in in Davis OK, near Arbuckle Lake that has two order boxes and parking for trailers. I've stopped there a couple of times and had a burger and a malt after a long day on the water.

Don't worry Ma'am....
I'm only here for the Bass.
No. I go straight home. Only stop when towing is to put gas in the boat if needed.

I hate pulling my boat through the busy gas station and trying to maneuver the trailer close enough but NOT too close and then dodge all the yahoos in there getting their lottery tickets and Monster drinks. I gas my boat with 5 gallon cans in my garage.Originally Posted by Transom

When I need some grub.
Nah. I either pack a granola or Rx bar, or just wait until I get home.
If I’m out fishing or hiking and just occupied with something else I usually go almost all day without eating. Usually have to remind myself to drink when I’m out fishing

It all depends on how it’s set up..some you can, some nope ain’t happening….
I’ll usually just park and go in… I’m a hand washing freak so I probably want to use the restroom and wash my hands anyway… (I always have a bandanna in my back pocket as I hate them stupid blow dryer things!!
Maybe just don’t be stupid. Plan your swing. Evaluate it before tucking in line. But if you dont feel you can, then don’t. We support your stance.
