Labor Day weekend 2025 we stopped here for lunch. It has been a while since we patronized a Big Boy restaurant. Our lunch was placed to go since we had our pup with us and there is no outside seating at this location. Our wait time was no longer than if we had dined inside and our lunch was really good and hot. The floor was bit messy perhaps because it was the lunch hour so who knows.

I go to Big Boy exclusively because I can still get a large slice of pie for $3.49. In all the years of exploitative "inflation," the price of the pie has only gone up .50, and it beats the pants off the overpriced Sysco deserts at other chains. But this review is for the fish sandwich at this location. I didn't think I would be able to eat it all, but it was so delicious I left no trace and got my pie to go.

Humble place. Terrific variety menu and fun overall time. It even has its local funko pops and iconic story.

Good food! Great service! Best prices! You can't beat a Big Boy senior breakfast served before 11 am Mon- Fri. Enough to eat and well worth a stop .

Perfect place to grab a meal anytime of the day. I noticed the best meals come at night, along with free entertainment from the staff and customers! This Big Boy has the Impossible burger that is 100% plant based, and gives you all the good feels of a diner burger. The staff is so friendly and the food is good. You can't go wrong!
