Typical big boy with a smaller footprint. The buffet was small and the service was hit or miss at times. Nothing blew us away or made us want another visit. Served its purpose and filled a hungry stomach.

I love when I walk into a restaurant and the waitress, Becky, already knows exactly what my husband and I will order. It's just a special perk of living in a small town, with a restaurant like Kalkaska's Big Boy. Not to mention the biscuits and gravy are great!

It's the classic Big Boy I remember from years ago. I didn't expect gourmet food. The chicken fingers were yummy and my Greek salad was a good healthy choice. The classic Big Boy restaurant architecture is wonderful. Lots of space, comfy booths and somehow, they figured out how to keep down the ambient restaurant noise. Our server was friendly and the food came quickly. Note to owner: Please dust the layer of fuzz, clean the grease, and do some general maintenance. The place really shows the neglect. The padded booth... read more

We read the reviews and didn't stop before but decided to stop today. There are always lots of cars in the lot. The restaurant was spotless. The waitstaff was great. Teresa waited on us promptly. The meal was the best I have had, steaming hot omelet, hash browns done right, good pancakes. My husband had the strawberry waffle and he said it was very good. Now we know where to eat in Kalkaska.

I have lived in Kalkaska for a year and I'm just trying Big Boy for the first time. From the outside it's not much to look at. I tried the chicken tenders and was very impressed. They were fresh and delish! The staff was very nice and attentive. The restaurant could use some maintenance however. There were several water stained ceiling tiles in the dining area and above the salad bar. I'm not sure if their were active leaks or what, but regardless they need to be addressed immediately. It's kinda gross to think about roof wa... read more

I love this place! It's my favorite place to go for a meal. The manager (Kathleen) is always on top of everything, she moves from one area to another to help her staff wherever needed. The server's (Becky and Tiffany) work so well together, teamwork is definitely in place. Service was wonderful. Cody is a wonderful cook, he actually came out to make sure everyone's food was good. I can't say enough about Kalkaska Big Boy we feel like family here.

This is one of the cleanest Big Boy Restaurants I've been to! I've always had friendly service and excellent hot food. Their menu is pretty diverse if you've never been they have something for everyone. If you don't have time to sit in go online to peek at their menu and place an order to pick up. They are also partnered with DoorDash. They are pretty accurate on how long it takes to make so it will be hot and fresh for you.

Love their big boy burgers, brawny lads, and hot fudge sundaes, yum yum. Their breakfast buffet is good too
