Clare is conveniently on our way to a lot of our road trip destinations for my family of 4, and Big Boy is typically decent food, decent service, and a decent price. We stopped in at 7:00pm on a Saturday night, and the restaurant was somewhat empty. Our server took our drink order and disappeared for 15 minutes. We let another server know what happened (we couldn't find our server), and she came over with our bill. After we explained the situation again, 2 more servers came over to take our drink order. Once we finall... read more
Havn't used yelp before, but after this visit to the clare big boy I had to make an account to leave a review. The restaurants appearence right as you walk in is just dragged down and dirty. The staffs attitude immediately sticks out as very casual as if they're there to hang out. Was seated promptly due to the restaurant not being very busy. After being sat, the hostess brought our silverware, which was just tossed in front of us very unprofessionally. My silverware was tossed over my shoulder and spun from hitting my men... read more
My husband & I decided to go here today for breakfast to celebrate Valentine's Day. We got the breakfast buffet. There were lots of things to chose from. :-) Unfortunately, everything was cold and/or had sat so long in the warmers (that didn't warm) they were hard. There were no biscuits out when we got there (on the plus side of that though, is we got fresh ones. :-) They asked my husband how our food was....so he told them. EVERYTHING was cold! I did have my scrambled eggs heated up. For $12.99 per person + tip....we wer... read more
NEVER AGAIN!!!! I have watch as Clare BIG BOY has gone way downhill. After multiple "redoes" if you will, I am never going back. The wait staff is not professional, reaching across the table, drinks are refilled after 2 or more trips to the table. When the order does come there are things that are not omitted that you asked to be. Also the fact that if you are watching calories don't come here, there is no special menu. While I was not happy I purchased the salad bar. What a joke I found a "wipe rag" laying on what they ca... read more
I would not recommend eating here. The food was not good. The items on the bar appeared and tasted to be past their prime. Appeared dirty in general. Silverware was filthy. Wait staff was disheveled. Overall impression: Tired and gross!
So they're busy, but I don't know why. Server was trying to get us in and out as quickly as possible. Apparently cook was too as my kids' hot dogs were still cold. Not impressed.
This place is in need of a major overhaul.The booths are old and worn out. The bathroom is always a mess. I ate here about a week ago and was so grossed out. I had ordered a turkey club sandwich and fries. I had barely taken one bite of my sandwich when I noticed a chunk of saran wrap inside my sandwich. Ugh. The waitress asked if I wanted another sandwich but my appetite was ruined by that slimy saran wrap. She still charged me for my half a glass of soda though. I wont be coming back to this place. If you want a sandwich,... read more
This restaurant NEEDS an update and GOOD CLEANING. The women's bathroom is VERY disgusting. I live in Clare and when I go in there the only people I see there is out of towners. The tables are sticky and the doors are all gummed up from finger prints. They really need a good cleaning seats tables and the works. The food is not bad but the waitresses need clean uniforms no tattoo's showing no face piercings. Come on you could be a 4 star and possibly a five star dig in your pocket and clean the place up and set rules fo... read more
Food is typical Big Boy. Service almost always is bad. I always feel like the wait staff feels inconvenienced to have to wait on people. The "back" room smells very musty, almost a mold type smell.
