My parents go for the B52 omelet, be aware the omlete is HUGE, so if you have a smaller appetite go for the mini version. Or get the bigger and take home leftovers. I am in love with the Warthog.

It's small but cozy, about 26 seats in the place, 6 tables total. 5 four tops and 1 six top. If it's nice out there are many picnic tables outside to eat at.

Our waitress was extremely sweet and helpful, an older woman who said she'd only been working there for 4 days. Even though she was new she did a good job, there were only a few other tables with people. The food I'm sorry to say was not good. The breakfast sausage had a really odd taste, I'm not sure what it was but after a couple bites I didn't eat anymore. Everything was just ordinary or blah, nothing special, I've definitely had better diner food. I could have handled the food though compared to what happened next. A woman, who I am assuming was the owner, came storming in. She was in a bad mood for some reason and the waitress soon left, I don't know if she got fired or what, I hope not! After the waitress left, the owner was rushing around the place and very loudly complaining to the cook about the waitress, how she didn't know how to do anything and was messing everything up. Very unprofessional and uncomfortable for us diners. We all just kind of sat there quietly and tried not to make waves. I won't be back. The food and the unprofessional behavior is not my cup of tea. Oh and one last thing that struck me as odd for a restaurant. The owner said she had to run to Sav A Lot to get bread. Really? They get their food from a grocery store rather than Gordon's or a restaurant supplier or something? Kind of makes me wonder if that's why the sausage tasted "off"!

It was a snow day. Schools closed. The waitress was friendly and came fairly promptly, as we were one of 6 customers at the time. I ordered an egg white veggie omelette which was a problem for the cook, who loudly scolded the waitress for getting the order wrong. The manager then got involved because the cook went in to the office to complain and wanted to make sure that we were going to be charged more. ( the menu said $.99 but he wanted the waitress to charge more). He appeared to not know how to make a veggie omelette . My omelette came out yellow, rubbery and with egg whites inside - with egg shells. After a couple of crunchy, rubbery bites , I also noticed that the onions in my hash browns were raw, cup up , onions on top of my hash browns. We called over the waitress, who was still complaining to the manager that she didn't make a mistake in our order, to ask her to please take my egg shells, rubbery food, and so not to trouble the cook more, just give me 2 eggs over easy and some hash browns. About 10 minutes later, the cook (spending several minutes sitting in the office), cooked my eggs and I was brought over a plate with only 2 eggs, (which were done properly and no egg shells). I had already gotten The hot cakes, which were done correctly. After about 10 more minutes, (watching the cook in the office, I wondered if I was ever going to get my hash browns), b finally the cook went back in to the kitchen and the waitress brought over my plate, explaining that the onions were now cooked. My husband had far passed eating his food and had I waited for the hash browns to eat my eggs, they would have been cold. In the end, the waitress brought us a bill charging for the veggie omelet that I didn't eat and extra for the egg whites, that I also didn't eat. We were happy to just get out of there , so we paid the extra money and left. $32 for this breakfast. I would have thought the manager would have been more helpful, apologized and or comped my meal. Not!! This is Not a place I would recommend. Too bad, because I grew up in Michigan (although I now live in Florida) and was excited about trying Big Boy again from my past. Rating this place a 2 in generous. read more

The vibe was tranquil and casual. Autumn, our server, came over within minutes to take my drink order. Soon my friend arrived and we were ready to order. I ordered tea and the baby back ribs with no sauce which came with 2 sides and corn muffin. I only wanted the ribs so the sides and muffin were packed to go...and went home with my friend. The food came out quickly - I would say that we had food on the table about 30 minutes after I first sat down. The ribs were okay - they were a little bit dryer in some areas than expected but not inedible. Adding a little bit of BBQ sauce made the dry bits less noticeable. Throughout the dining experience, Autumn returned several times to make sure that things were ok and to see if we needed any drink refills. She was a good server to have, I recommend asking to be seated in her section if possible. Otherwise, it was a decent experience and I would consider dining again.
