On our way to register for our baby shower we got hungry and swung in. The decor gave you that old time big boy feel. We partook in the breakfast buffet for the first time in years and were very satisfied. I loved the smaller portions of waffles and pancakes that allowed me to try several combinations without getting too stuffed. I really enjoyed the fresh fruit selections. Staff was very friendly and attentive, which was a pleasant surprise as they were quite busy and we have started getting used to having less than great ... read more

Living in TN one of the places that I miss is Big Boy. There is nothing that compares down here so this was the perfect place to have lunch during our recent trip. The service is always great at this location and the food is delicious. Our visit was great and our waiter was spot on during our recent visit. The salad bar is always fresh and well stocked. My favorite soups are their Cabbage Soup and Broccoli and Cheese Soup! I will be back during our next trip.

This is your typical big boy. When you go in you know what the food choices are and what they will taste like. Service is friendly but slow. Prices are normal if you get dessert can spend up to 17 dollars per person. Not horrible but I think there are better choices up and down john r for your money.

This big boy has always been good the few times I've been here. The salad bar has always been fresh, and I notice they are always busy. They are still staying on top of things here, not like some that dropped the ball and long gone.

Ask for Ruth!!!! Two friends and I came in today, 4/1/2016 (I'm still here) and got awesome service from Ruth :) she broke down what each egg temp meant to make sure I was getting what I wanted and had a smile the whole time. She checked in a few times to make sure everything was great and held good conversation( not forced) with the tables around us too. I ended up with a $18 bill and felt she deserved the $20 tip we left. Go Ruth!!

Big Boys food is really the same across the board. It is all good food all the time. The only problem with this Big Boy is the long wait. Everyone at my table ordered breakfast and for eggs, it took such a long time to get to our table. Of course when we got our food we were happy. It did taste great. I hope this Big Boy picks up their speed and next time, in the far future, they won't be as slow.

Great experience. The establishment is clean and the service was very friendly and efficient. The manager was present on the floor checking on all the guests. Even though I came during the dinner rush our food was out of the kitchen in a few minutes. For those not familiar with the big boy chain, it is standard American... Burgers, chicken and fries.

I've been here twice and both times I've been very happy with my experience. Notably, our server Rhonda. She was happy to be our server both times. My son is a bit persnickety with food, people, places, and things. She was smiling, very pleasant, and gave us the impression she was happy to see us. She engaged in small talk with my son, which made him feel very important, and was very helpful with the many questions I had about the soup, and salad bar. My son now tells me this is his favourite restaurant,and I'm happy to ... read more

It's a Big Boy, what do you expect from them? It's a decent diner type food restaurant. I kinda wish they would do more with the menu, I would come here more often.
