This is one of the nicer Big Boys we have visited for breakfast. It appears to be newly renovated. The staff was very friendly. The manager came out to visit with some of the frequent guests, which was a refreshing sight. The breakfast buffet was well maintained and looked delicious. The family was pleased with the options. Coffee is excellent. However, I ordered off the menu - corned beef hash and poached eggs. Yum! Highly recommend this big boy location for a satisfying breakfast. Best option in the area.

I enjoy the breakfast here, especially the lumberjack potato pancakes. The service is always good here but the lunches and dinners are not as good. The french fries are terrible now.

Food is very good! However service seems to be lacking in the past probably 18 months. There was a longtime management team that I see has been replaced and there seems to be a lot of turnover (maybe contributing to the service issues)

I love this Big Boy. You just can't beat the Slim Jim sandwich plus the waitress was super sweet and quick with beverage refills.

I love this Big Boy. I don't know what it is, but this Big Boy is easily one of the better ones I've been to. The burgers are delicious, the Belgian waffle with strawberry sauce is delicious, the spaghetti is delicious. Everything I've had here has been pretty good. The plates/cups have been replaced with the new anniversary ones and they're way better than the old ones. Another plus? The waitresses here are super friendly, along with the host/hostesses. You're usually never left waiting to get a table for too long.

What can be said about what USED to be a great family restaurant that just doesn't really care anymore. They have re-vamped their menu, gotten rid of menu items, brought them back, recreated the hamburger a few dozen times. They just don't really care anymore. The last five or six times I've been in there over the past few years, nothing seems to change. Let's just talk about the Big Boy's in Imlay City on M-53. My first recommendation is to stop at a gas station or truck stop to use a restroom before trying to use the o... read more

At 4 pm, placed an online order for 5:45. 2 Olga's sandwiches, fries and snackers. When I arrived at 5:45, they stated they had to remake my order because they had made it at 4. I thought that was great that they didn't try to give me food that had been sitting. Waited for the remake and drove the 5 minutes home. Sandwiches were fine and fresh but the fries were ice cold and the snackers were hard and dry. Both were so heavily seasoned, they were inedible.
