    "Toast"

    Pancakes were burnt. Eggs were sent with the wrong cheese. Toast was untoasted. They took the plate i already touched back to the kitchen multiple times. I must have visited a different place than the other reviews are talking about. Do not recommend.

    Suite front

    Nostalgia... that was what I experienced when I saw this new location of Big Boy in Plymouth. This chain was popular back in the day when I grew up in the area. The business was founded north of where I live now, however most of the footprint is still in Michigan. The visibility of this suite off Ann Arbor Rd and Haggerty Rd was not great. The signage was minimal, and instead of having a Big Boy statue outside the restaurant, it was inside next to the entrance. I was accustomed to Big Boy being a standalone building with an old school diner ambiance. The interior of this spot was like a modern fast food joint. I didn't take photos of the menu, but it had all the standard fare like I remembered. A separate sheet listed the Seafood Fest which had offerings like a Pike-Perch Platter, Fish & Chips, and Popcorn Shrimp Platter. My friend ordered the first platter for his meal. I should have picked one of the burgers that featured the signature double-deck patties. I opted for a more conservative option of spaghetti with meat sauce. It was served with a grilled garlic roll that was split in half and a cup of soup. It was odd that my first choice of soup was already sold out, especially since we showed up at 1:30 pm. I ended up with a cabbage soup that had a tomato base. The spaghetti was nothing special, however the garlic roll was salty. I don't know why extra seasoning was added beyond the garlic. While I appreciated the opportunity to visit this franchise again, the execution of my order left much to be desired. The best part of the experience was seeing the history of Bob's Big Boy (as it's known in CA) displayed on the walls. I gave a three star experience for our lunch at Big Boy.

    Big Boy is a restaurant I have grown up with, remembering the days when my father took me and my brother to the one closest to us at the time (Ford and Evergreen). That location has since closed only to be replaced by a Red Robin, which has also shut down recently. There are not nearly as many Big Boys as there used to be, but still a good amount here in metro Detroit and I'm happy to see Plymouth has one currently. I took my son for some breakfast and it was nice and quiet at the time. I ordered a Philly Cheesesteak Scramble, which included eggs, shaved beef, veggies and hash browns. I got it with a side of hot cakes that my son absolutely loved. Despite having plenty of food to share with him he still wanted chicken nuggets and fries. I made sure he helped me get through as much of the meal as possible and he didn't say no to any of it. The chicken nuggets and fries were also surprisingly delicious (found out later it was Tyson brand nuggets which surprised me). Spent a little over $30 for all that with coffee and orange juice. Not bad to be honest as we were plenty satisfied with the food and service. Also worth mentioning that they have halal food options here, but not all the meat is halal. Definitely bringing my kids back to build some memories, as long as this quality is maintained

    Don't forget dessert!

    Big Boy is back in town. And it's new, clean, and fresh. Service is quick, friendly, and efficient. Big Boy menu in the full. Desserts and specials for the season. I would recommend. Food came out fast, constant stream of clientele coming in for pick up or to eat.

    Excellent strawberry pie

    It's been a long time since I have been in a big boy restaurant. I was excited when this one opened up in Plymouth. I went for breakfast this morning. I had a great veggie omelette with hashbrowns and biscuits. Followed up with a slice of famous strawberry pie. Delicious. Very clean. Great service. The interior is surprisingly bake. It looks a lot smaller from outside but it must see at least 75 people inside. Will go back.

    Slim Jim and fries

    I can't believe it! A Bob's Big Boy just recently opened in my area and I'm so excited. I'm not a big fan of the new location and the size of the business. The new Bob's Big Boy sits in the middle of a strip mall with other small businesses. There seems to be plenty of parking including handicapped The second week open and I'm still looking for a parking spot. Finally and now let's go in and look around. OMG! Not a single table is open and the customers are chattering uncontrollably. Mostly I can hear about the food and service of the new business. While I'm waiting, I just love the open concept and high ceiling and all the stencils and artwork that line the walls. So many colors but what stands out the most is the red decor, even in the bathroom. My turn to have a seat and I waited about 15 minutes and was seated by the front window. I haven't been to a Big Boy's in about 30 years. I was excited to try the slim Jim as it was my favorite. The wait time for my order was about 20 minutes but not bad considering every table was full. The waitress (Alyssa) was on the move the entire time ensuring every customer was taken care of. The lunch menu was simple (see photo) and very appealing. I ordered the Slim Jim and fries came with it. I ordered a second Slim Jim and upgraded with onion rings and an additional cost. Also, the pretzel bites with cheese and honey mustard sauce. The carbonation choice is Pepsi products. Very fresh and nice flavor. I will have to say that the presentation of the Slim Jim is a little different than what I remember. The flavor is there but I remember more meat! The ham is so thin but maybe that's why it's called a Slim Jim, any thoughts? The pretzel bites are a favorite and yummy. The food came out very fresh and temperature-appropriate. Nice job! Great customer service & Kudos to management as well. I appreciated the management/cook for visiting my table and asking about the food quality.

    My Mickey Mouse pancake

    Pleasant staff, good food, clean bathrooms I would give it 1000 stars if I could. I ordered the Mickey Mouse pancakes. They were delicious. I also ordered the hot fudge ice cream cake, 10 out of 10. I don't know why I'm rating it out of 10. It's five, yay!

    Great food, tried it as a carry-out, and it was tasty and a good value. Hope to be able to dine in for a meal sometime soon.

    The Meat Lover's omelette rocks - lots of bacon, sausage and cheese! Served hot…read more I opt'd for pancakes rather than potatoes. They were firm, not gummy. Service is very attentive without being obsequious. My coffee and water never got below half before refills were offered. The venue is small-ish, but now over-stuffed with tables. Plenty of space for the staff and customers to move without any bump & grind. I was catching-up with an olde friend and they did not rush us out the door. Thank you very much. One caution; it was noisy this morning.

    As soon as you walk in the door youll be greeted with a. "Hello" and almost always your immediately…read moreseated. If they dont have one ready sometimes theyll let you pick one thats just been finished but not cleaned and theyll clean it off as you sit down kinda thing. The vibe isnt anything fancy, basic diner chairs/rubbery plastic seats that have seen better days. But the coffee is always hot, and they keep bringing it by. The owner herself walks around chatting and pouring the coffee, shes this short European (maybe) woman with a bit of an accent but she's incredibly sweet! Her daughter also works there with her husband which i find so sweet. As i said the coffee is always hot, the food is always fresh and doesn't take long even on a busy morning with a packed restaurant! I dont know how they keep up sometimes but they do! If you like fish, go on a Friday night for fish fry and you wont be disappointed! The fish is crispy/crunch, hot and absolutely delicious. This is my favorite place to get a fish fry! And the best part about this place is? Its hella affordable, so be nice and tip those guys they deserve it

    I absolutely love their breakfast. Two eggs over medium, good sized serving of grilled ham, huge…read morepile of really good potatoes, and toast. The eggs are always just right, and I appreciate that. I always leave stuffed and the prices are super low. I will agree with the other review that it is a bit spartan in there, but I am more interested in good food at a great price. I do love the plants and the sun really shines into the place in the morning, and it is very clean.

The breakfast was pretty standard and the potatoes were good. The corned beef hash was basically corned beef chopped up in some hash browns (I only ate about 1/4 of them). Not the most appetizing, and unnecessary as the special itself was more than filling. While the food was easily 3 star, the atmosphere is why I gave it a 2 star rating. It's very spartan. There is no sugar or jelly on the table, and they bring you the minimum amount only if asked. I had to keep requesting refills on my coffee, and it was probably only 62 degrees inside (saving on heating costs)? If I had to guess, I'd say there were money issues, but that's just the impression I got. Would I go again? Probably. The food was good, but I'm still looking for that REALLY good breakfast with reasonable prices for my Sunday ritual.
