Had the pleasure of eating at the Big Boy restaurant in Gaylord. What a treat! Big Boy food as it should be! Terrific Slim Jim and great Swiss Miss. Did I mention fantastic service as well. Thank you for excellent dining experience!

Placed an online order on my way home from up north. Was pleased to see the business take precautions against COVID and also that it was pretty clean and orderly inside. Service was very friendly and smooth and I enjoyed my spicy chicken sandwiches. Will definitely be back for next time!

Had to stop in here because both my husband and I hadn't been to a big boy in over 20 years since it's no longer in our area. Pleasantly surprised! We were helped by a gentleman named Jim who is one of the best waiters we've ever had. Kind, quick, efficient! We both had the classic big boy and were very happy with it. The facility was also very clean. The cook also came out and asked everyone how their meal was. My only critique is the menues themselves were rather sticky. But I'm not gonna hold that against them. This was a... read more

An average Big Boy Restaurant. The place was busy, but maintained the cleanliness pretty well. The wait staff was kind. The food was ok. Nothing special. Just picked this place as we were traveling through the area. We have them in Grand Rapids so we kind of knew what to expect.

We had good service (from a brand new waitress - so maybe things are improving). The food was average to good, the portion size just right, and I liked the retro decor. Highway access was easy. I had a side salad that was very good. Going in mid afternoon I didn't even think about trying the salad bar, but that would be the case anyplace.

We had many issues here with food and service in the past ( Usually get breakfast or salad bar). But, the last 3 times, service, food, and salad bar were really good! I'm not sure. But, think they must have new management, that is doing a *much* better job!

The food was Bob's Big Boy food so you know what you are getting. Breakfast at lunch? You got it! My eggs and hash browns were good, as were my wife's. My 6 year old gave a big thumbs up on the pancakes, but thought the bacon was over cooked. Two kids had build your own burgers and their thoughts were read through nothing being left in their baskets. My oldest had a Reuben and in teenage fashion said "it was just a Reuben." The tables were kind of clean. The food was slow to come because they obviously we're putting the Big ... read more
