I wish I could give it a zero. What kind of a restaurant closed its salad bar at 7pm and then doesn't have soup that's on the menu. Place was disgusting and the food was bland. Waitress disappeared for 20 minutes twice and never checked on us. Manager Monica was unconcerned with the horrible service we got and gave me a discount for the soup we never got. I encourage everyone to go elsewhere

We stopped here on our way home this morning for breakfast. The restaurant wasn't busy yet, a few tables were filled, but a lot of seating was open. We were seated by a polite young lady acting as hostess/waitress. It took several minutes for an actual waitress to greet us and take our drink order. One of us opted for the buffet, but 2 of us opted to order from the menu. We placed our order and while we waited for our order to be prepared, the person in our party who chose the buffet went to get their food. The buffet w... read more

This Big Boy was filthy, poor service. The bathrooms were disgusting. I have ate at other Big Boys and this one in Clare, Mi gives a bad reputation to the other Big Boys in Michigan.

Absolutely unacceptable and disappointing experience. We have stopped here a few times and found it to be wonderful..... not the case on Memorial Day. They had a long line of people waiting for tables and 8+ tables were left sitting unclean and empty. After 20 minute wait, we decided on the breakfast bar to make things easier (we thought). The bar had a spoonful of eggs, no bacon, no biscuits, 1 waffle, and 4 pieces of fruit that looked like they had been there for two days. The floor was full of food and garbage. My sandals... read more

Stopped on our way north with grandsons 4 and 9. Waited forever to be seated. Waitress finally came and sighed each time we said our drink selection. Got one cup of coffee, no refills because they were out of coffee. Order came 55 minutes after we were seated. Forgot to punch it in. Potato pancakes were nothing more than hash browns in circles. The corn dogs were so overdone that the hotdogs inside were scorched. The patty melt was also. overdone. Terrible. On the plus side, they took our drinks off the bill. Never again!... read more

The milkshake that was served was nothing like the picture on the menu, wrong cup, poor presentation, bad taste, the manager was asked if this looked acceptable, she said yes.
