Any place that serves breakfast all day is OK in my book. I was in the mood for a waffle at dinnertime so I went with the Strawberry Belgian Waffle and made it a combo by adding eggs and bacon. Everything was cooked well; you gotta eat that waffle fast though, before it gets soggy. I wonder if you can request it cooked a little longer so it can stay crispy longer? I did like that the strawberry slices were firm, so it's not just sludgy jam. They seem to be pushing the lemonades so I went with Desert Pear.. it was way too sw... read more

I always loved going to Big Boy every Saturday as a kid. The buffet is the way to go. Friendly staff, good service.

There are some ups and some downs with the place since they have changed the menu. The one good thing, was they added a vegetarian burger, and it is not bad it all depends on how you get it done.

Done the Steakhouse one it is not good because of the BBQ Sauce just in my opnion does not taste good with it or with the tomato that comes on it. Also, it all depends on who is cooking and who you're waitress is as well. There are two girls in there, not ... read more

I just returned to Big Boy while on vacation yesterday morning. My husband and I ordered their new Boston Creme Pie pancake thing with eggs. We split it because we had a wedding and reception and didn't want to get full on breakfast. The waitress was really nice (as always!) and when we told her we were sharing it, she brought it out cut in half!! Both eggs and pancakes! I thought that was really sweet! Very nice service, and AWESOME breakfast. I woudl have eaten that whole thing by myself if it was just for me - it was so,... read more

I actually would give it 2 1/2 stars if I could. Both food and service are very inconsistent. Fairly recent menu changes have reduced portion sizes and/or raised prices. This is a decent place to go if you want a basic meal, but ask if the fries have been sitting for a while.

Went here today (10/12/25) after church for lunch. 10 people ahead of us waiting to be seated when we got there, and a sign saying "please wait to be seated". We waited 10 minutes, and NO hostess even came over to talk to the people ahead of us, and more people were coming in the door. About 1/2 of us then walked out the door and went elsewhere. 

Business response:

Hi Mike. We are so sorry to hear about your experience with the long wait and lack of service during your recent visit. This is not the level of service we strive to provide our valued guests. We would greatly appreciate the opportunity to address this issue and improve our processes. Please contact us at feedback@bigboy.com with more details about your visit.

Not sure what's going on, but Big Boy is no longer what it was. It used to be good food. And affordable. Now it is neither. What a waste of money to eat there.
