Four stars for a Big Boy? You bet. I'm from Waterford and Big Boy had always been a last resort restaurant. I am attending a class two days a week in Rochester and have stopped here for dinner each time. It is recently remodeled based on the reviews and while I didn't see the "before" the "after" is impressive for a Big Boy. This is probably the nicest Big Boy I've seen in Michigan. Definitely the cleanest. Of the three times I've stopped in, service was exceptional the first two and pleasant the last time as well. T... read more

The only time to really come here is for the breakfast buffet on Sundays. I haven't really had the lunch menu so I can't speak to that Though I've heard that they're slim Jim's are quite good. If you come here early on any days other than the weekends you'll be greeted by a room full of senior citizens, Or as they call them there the blue tops because of their grey hair. The buffet on Sundays is decent though, And you really can't beat their You pick four deal, four breakfast items for only four dollars. Aside from the break... read more

It's been quite a while since I visited a Big Boy, but since I'm a poor student again, I'm ballin on a budget these days and Big Boys is a nice casual cheap place for lunch or dinner. This location is nice, and was very clean the prior 2 times I visited. The service was great and our servers on both occasions were very attentive. The soup and salad bar was clean and everything seemed fresh and not like it was sitting out for hours upon hours. I noticed the manager constantly checking the bar to make sure it was clean which ... read more

One of the better Big Boys in the area. The staff is usually attentive and the food is what you'd expect from Big Boy. It's clean, cheap, and comfortable.

Whenever I eat at Big Boy I usually stick with ordering up a tasty classic like the Slim Jim. But I'm trying to go back to low carb eating and Big Boy is not exactly on my list right now. My luck would have it that my friends wanted to meet up there for dinner. So I agreed to go even though I'm also not fond of this particular location. I figured I would have to learn to choose healthful options at any restaurant so why not start with Big Boy! The first thing I see when I sit down is that picture of the huge Belgium ... read more

I ordered the Chicken Parmesan, which is usually superb at other Big Boy restaurants. Here, there was a much larger amount of spaghetti, with the chicken on top....the size of a very small hamburger. 'Shrinkflation!'. Too much spaghetti, not enough chicken....quite a surprise and a disappointment!

what happened Big Boy? you went in the tubes. The once fantastic salad bar is a disgrace- soups labeled wrong ( all of them ) all low burning because the are empty. No crackers, tortilla strips.. bowls where's the bowls! The salad omg, the mushrooms withered, the pasta hard looking - and tastes like only beet juice. No labeling on dressings- it's messy and yuck. Tried both anyway and lit stopped eatMing my salad was not good and tasted old. My poor slim Jim.. how can you mess up a slim Jim. The food just the pits!!

There were 2 waitresses working and 4 occupied tables-including mine. After being seated, myself, my husband, and kids sat for 20 minutes and none of the employees so much as glanced our way. We walked out and still were not acknowledged. I'll never be back due to the awful service.
