This was the first time I have ever eaten in a Big Boy...the waitress was shocked... It was a very new restaurant and not crowded at all...I was very pleased to hear they dump the coffee every half hour yo ensure freshness...it was good coffee! The service was friendly although not very attentive...we had to ask for more coffee as well as condiments. The waitress did tell the manager it was my first ever visit and he made time to come by and chat with me and also thanked me for coming in. We went back the next morning as ... read more

Ok I want to preface this with the fact that the last time I ate here I came home and wrote a review that was really scathing and critical. Its been a while and I decided to see if things had gotten any better. Much to my pleasure they had. The food quality and service had returned to what it once was. I ordered the veal parmisian and it was really good, as was the side salad. The only negative was they forgot the garlic bread, but with the portions of the rest of the meal I was full before I ran out of food anyway. As for... read more

Very surprised at how cute and clean this location is! Salad bar was average, but soups were great. My mother ordered a party melt and it was amazing. Would definitely come here again.

This is an American tradition. I get the classic big boy and the soup and salad bar usually. One complaint is that the dishes aren't always clean when they are put out at the salad and soup bar. Usually pretty good customer service. Good price. Don't get the lemonade, wayyyyy too sour

Stopped here on our way to DTE (Pine Knob for you hard cores out there) twice in the last week. Its pretty easy to get to and right off the highway, so when your chug-a-lugging it to a concert but want to eat real quick before you get there, then this is a good place. Like the other poster mentioned, people do look at you as you come in, but then once seated I look at others when they come in too...so whatever. I don't think they thought anything about my looks (pretty conservative looking on the surface), I figured they th... read more

I actually worked at this Big Boy when I was in High School and I have to say it isn't too bad. Overall it is a clean restaurant, which is important because some other places have flies and bugs swarming their salad bars. Not here though, the items in the salad bar are refreshed frequently and most of the stuff is fresh. The menu is the same as all the other chain Big Boys, and the service is good. It's located by Great Lakes Crossing, across the street, and you can usually get a table no matter what time it is. PS- p... read more

AWFUL Experience. Went here with my grandson today after a busy day at legoland. Came in here and was not greeted by any server and sat for 15 minutes without anyone approaching our table. Was told they were out of crayons For my grandson and when I asked for a waitress, I was told they only had one. We waited a total of 20 minutes, couldn't stand it anymore. So left without even getting a glass of water and had to leave and go find dinner elsewhere. I love the Big Boys on Maple rd! Do not waste your time going to this Big B... read more

Stopped in for lunch because my mother and I had been craving a with onion rings upon arriving. I placed my order and was then told that they no longer had any onion rings they were out, so I ordered french fries to replace and then I proceeded to order salad , they were out of garlic and oil dressing. How does a restaurant run out of two of the three items I'm going to order? Simple, bad management. On top of that with about 12 customers in total in the place, it took well over 45 minutes to get my order I the counte... read more
