I'm sure there are times when certain workers are working and the service can get slow. That wasn't today. There were 4 servers on the floor and they were very attentive. We didn't wait long for our drink order. We didn't wait long to place our order. I did the breakfast & salad bar while my daughter had a big boy classic. Which takes time to cook. The bar doesn't. However, her burger got to us as I got back from the bar. That was not neglected. That was great. Her order was accurate as per her request. The breakfast bar... read more

I always get the best service from the waitstaff and fabulous food! My favorite time is for breakfast and my favorite waitress (Kristen). She is always smiling and making me and my family feel welcome. I would definitely recommend this Big Boy to anyone who wants to smile and chow down. Thank you Cadillac's Big Boy staff without you I wouldn't have a great breakfast that I didn't have to cook!

We went for breakfast several times this week and the service was very good and the food was too. The Big Boy has real potato pancakes made with fresh potatoes. They were really close to the ones we ate in German. We were offered many coffee refills.

I love Big Boy. I eat here quite often as i live a block away. There are times when the service is really slow especially this one time when i was there for 3 hrs!! Between waiting for the waitress to take the order, bring our order and even the wait for our check it was so disappointing that night. The slow pace happens often, and it can be cleaner but i love going and its inexpensive and tasty. -1 star for the slow service and -1 for lack of cleanliness.

The Big Boy in Cadillac is really convenient for breakfast if you are staying at The Hampton Inn or The Holiday Inn - both of which are just up the road, less than a mile or so. I had an omelette with mushrooms, broccoli, bell pepper, onions, sausage, and cheese, plus a side of bacon and a cup of coffee. Service was friendly. It took a while for our food to come out, but they were pretty busy and they got slammed all at once I guess. My one wish was that they offered the option for spinach in their omelettes - which they ... read more

when journeying off into new areas of life sometimes there's a piece of your mind that seeks out something safe, like a hand rail to hold onto just in case your culo is not ready to endure the new newness that lies ahead. so in hindsight I now understand my need to peek my piehole into this retro stepback into 1970's safeness, where food was comforting, not always the healthiest for your arteries, but where mom and dad were always in the front seat on those long road trips where gas was $.26/gal for full service and howard ... read more

Improve... everything. This is the saddest place I've ever eaten in my life. This franchise used to be amazing and now it hosts overworked grouchy and rude waitresses (which there should be more of per shift!) cracked seats that are awful to sit on, barely cooked food and cooks abruptly screaming out orders from the kitchen (which is bad for the geriatric clientele and their hearts) This is consistent with this location and we have finally come to the conclusion it ain't gettin' any better. Should now be called "Big Mistake"

First of all I grew up on going out on the weekend with family and enjoying Big Boy! I am disgusted by 2 locations in Michigan that we tried Traverse City and Pontiac 1. Both locations are filthy! 2. The smell of the old rancid grease is nauseating 3. The fries are soaked in the old stinky grease 4. The big boy burger was awful PLEASE take a week to clean and change out your grease A very disappointed customer!
