first time ever at a big boy last night, we had a little david lynch tribute night of our own. we really enjoyed and were pleasantly surprised by the food- we didn't expect much from a "chain". summer was really sweet and we would definitely come back, at least for cherry pie and a damn fine cup of coffee. i thought this spot deserved a higher rating, i had a good experience and usually don't eat at places like this.

My friend and I stopped for breakfast and we met Laura. She was the best person and waitress. Was friendly, knowledgeable, experienced, and very attentive. She was the BEST!!! She is an asset to this restaurant. Thank you Laura for everything. We will be back.

The food could improve, but the service was amazing. Christie is a great general manager with good personality who truly wanted to hear my recommendations.

I must admit that I am biased because I was a kid who grew up having Big Boy and have probably been to a ton of their locations in the state. Although I order the same thing every time- the spaghetti dinner with the wonderful garlic roll (slim Jim bread), it is always hot and yummy. It makes me feel like a kid again as a young adult and reminds me of when I'd come here with my family. This location was good when I went and my server was very friendly. I truly hope they slow down on closing locations because some of us really... read more

Few budget chain diners are going to rate very high. Denny's, Big Boy, etc., they're ubiquitous and generally mediocre in terms of their culinary qualities, but that's fine, it makes them predictable. So don't take my rating as a negative. The meal was ok, as any meal at a Big Boy is probably going to be. The restaurant was clean. The server, Shannon, was good and had earned a very good tip, which I would have given to her if she hadn't totally disappeared. I got my meal, I got my drink, I got a refill, and then she was out... read more

Sorry I gave in to nostalgia and ordered a Slim Jim which I loved years ago. It was small and not particularly tasty but the ONION RINGS. ... oh my word, they are still the best. Things have gotten terribly pricy ( no shock there ) but I'm eager to go back for an actual Big Boy and more onion rings!!!
