You kind of know what to expect at a Big Boy so no need to explain. The restaurant is clean. The waitstaff is always extremely nice and friendly! It seems that they work as a team and always make me feel welcome. The breakfast buffet is yummy and the regular menu is always prepared well and quickly. It's definitely one of the best Big Boys in northern Michigan.

I like this location. It's clean. The food is good and the staff is friendly. Only weird thing is that they actually count your onion rings to make sure they didn't give you too many. A half order is always 8. Funny, but definitely not a deal-breaker.

I go to the Traverse City Big Boy to get my favorite, the Belgian Waffle with strawberries & whipped cream. The waffle is always cooked perfect served with sliced fresh strawberries & lots of whipped cream, yum!

I have lived in Michigan all my life and have never been to one. The two in GR closed down so I didn't get to try those before I moved out to GR. We were waiting for our hotel room to open at the Great Wolf Lodge across the street. We chose this place on a whim since we had 8 people with us. We were seated shortly and had the most wonderful waitress. Everyone was so friendly. Vast menu of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Something for everyone on the menu from pasta, hamburgers, meatloaf, seafood. Loved the simplicity and the... read more

My hometown got rid of the Big Boy restaurant. Visiting this location on Vacation and after a day at the Traverse City fair. The dining area was clean. The layout of the restaurant was identical and brought back good memories of dinner at my hometown location. The waitress was friendly and kind for providing our table with its own pot of coffee! Thank you!

This place is very good. It reminds me of iHop but with better burgers! The staff was very nice and the prices were reasonable. Family friendly or a nice place to hit solo after a movie or for a quick breakfast.

Always good food, friendly staff, busy atmosphere on Sunday mornings. My food was brought right away even though the place was packed. The wait staff is always attentive and helpful. The buffet is a bit pricey, but tou can order plenty of food off the menu that will fill you up just the same. I often come on Sundays and will continue coming back.

When ever I have went there the food is Super good and it's not badly priced, but the waiting staff is horrible! They check on you once and always seem like they would rather talk to each other than wait on their customers.
