It's not bad. I think the main problem is the fact that they pretty much always have new people working. I drive by it a few times a day. They advertise on their sign out front every few months, " hiring all positions"!

We were in Charlotte today and ate at the Big Boy. Our server Lydia was just perfect and professional. My wife wanted the Slim Jim, which is why we went. She loved it. I had the Pike-Perch dinner and it was very good. We both order hash browns rather than fries and they were fantastic. The place was very clean and parking was very convenient. Everyone there was super friendly. We wouldn't hesitate to return.

We had a nice supper here this evening, husband had the fried fish dinner and wife had shrimp dinner. Our food was good, but hubby said that the batter on the cod was way too thick and wife agrees. It was more batter than fish, and that batter could be cut in half really. The side of mixed vegetables were generous and delicious; the tartar sauce for the fish is amazing. Service was friendly and efficient and it's likely we would return, but just wanted to make mention of that extremely thick fish batter.

High recommendation for this BIG BOY. Our server was Elizabeth, and she was exceptional. Prompt service, and very kind. I came here with my family of 4. We had pretzel bites and boneless wings for apps, and I ordered the Philly cheesesteak. Two orders of fish and chips and a Slim Jim were ordered by the rest. My cheesesteak was juicy and delicious. The fish was crispy golden fried flaked and moist. I haven't been to a Big Boy in forever, and I'm happy I made the stop today!

I come here often and really enjoy this restaurant. The staff is friendly, and the food is great. My only complaint would be that the weekend afternoon staff is not as good with their service as the morning crew. During my last visit, we were not checked on very often, and our waitress was running around the restaurant doing virtually everything. She worked very hard but seemed to have no one giving her a hand. I definitely prefer eating here before 2pm on the weekends. The bottom line is that this is a great place to grab a... read more

Awesome experience! Jarrad and his manager Kent were very helpful. They made me a drink that wasn't on the menu and I was especially grateful for that. If you stop into this Big Boy you'll experience great service and kind smiles. Great chocolate Pepsi too! :)

Being hungry and never having tried Big Boy before, we decided to stop here on our road trip home. I have to admit, the Big Boy statue at the entrance was adorable and caught my eye...it's pretty hard to miss to be honest. Not sure this chain exists in IL. Least I've never seen or heard of them before. Anyway, this is a full service restaurant offering breakfast, lunch & dinner AND a soup, salad and fruit buffet. Comforting, hearty menu items including ice cream and pie. Sort of reminds me of an IHOP or Denny's but way ... read more

Not only was the food excellent and affordable, but the service here was top notch. I took a group that required some special requests and there were no hassles at all. We felt very well taken care of, and enjoyed our lunch very much! I highly recommend this location.
