The food is sooo good! The wait staff are so friendly. Every time we come to eat here they make us feel welcomed and the restaurant is very clean. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. My favorite dish besides the Big Boy sandwich is their French Toast! It's out of this world crazy good! I am so glad they brought Big Boys back and that it isn't gone for good! They also have the best regular normal French fries too! Thank you for choosing Plymouth to put this restaurant in! read more

They're usually very nice at this location, but I had a rude server today with an attitude problem. The food was okay. read more

Breakfast here is excellent. This particular location is in a strip mall, so it doesn't have that old school vintage vibe, but what are you going to do? Even the Mona Lisa is falling apart. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Big Boy - "Toast" - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Plymouth, Michigan

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 read more

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. read more

Big Boy - Excellent strawberry pie - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Plymouth, Michigan

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. read more

We had classic Big Boy burgers and fries. Upgraded to waffle fries and everything was fantastic! The service has been exceptional every time we've gone here. They aim to make this a great dining experience! read more

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! read more

Big Boy - My Mickey Mouse pancake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Plymouth, Michigan

Ordered a carry out farmers omelette with wheat toast and a side of fruit. The omelette had good flavor - especially from the onions- but it was a little too salty for me. The fruit was definitely cut fresh which was super impressive. Usually when you get a side of fruit from these kind of establishments you can tell it's been sitting for a while and it's not super fresh. Overall good experience and the whole meal cost about $11. read more

Went for the nostalgic classic Big Boy Burger and fries and Hot Fudge Cake. Was not disappointed. Food was delicious. Our server Allyssa was amazing. Friendly attentive and handled all our special requests with blinking and eye. As an out of towner restrooms were super clean.! read more

Twice I had lunch there and find that it doesn't compare to the "old" Big Boys days. I had a slim Jim sandwich the first time. It was over toasted....difficult to eat. I can't remember what I ordered the next time but, I can truly say it was not a memorable experience. The service was slow--I'd say below average. read more

My adult grandson and I ate there on Thursday and IT WAS EXCELLENT. The waitress was knowledgeable and so nice. Our supper tasted FANTASTIC and smelled WONDERFUL. A strawberry malt and strawberry Belgian waffle was ordered for dessert and they were as delicious as it sounds. The owner even came by our table to say hello. The price was standard but the attention, preparation ( shout out to your cook!) dishes, menu, restaurant (eg., seating booths, cleanliness, restrooms) was EXCEPTIONAL. Highly recommend for any occasion, from family meals and celebration dinners. With their obvious great staff, management and offerings I hope the owners consider opening another Big Boy near me in ANN ARBOR. HINT, Plymouth & Green Road would be a excellent location. Freeway exit for 23, no mid range restaurants nearby, UM north campus and three hotels right there. I would be a regular if you did :D P.S. If you do decide to come, make sure to put BIG BOY on the roof. read more

The sliders both chicken and burger were great. Swiss Miss was perfect. Fry's were good. The onion rings not so good. They need to go back to the originals. The grand kids love it. Will be back. read more

Amazing food, amazing service. Super clean, and fantastic specials. The owner is the best...he introduced himself one lunch, and hearing my wife was vegetarian, offered to make her a special grilled cheese which she loved! read more

My wife & I went to the Plymouth Big Boy to meet our son for dinner. He and I had the fish & chips and my wife had the Big Boy and fries. The food was as good as we remembered. The server was friendly and attentive. It's nice to have a Big Boy near us again. read more

Food was good and fast. Wait staff very nice. Just felt too cramped especially at lunch time

It's was a fine place to eat, just nothing very memorable. Food was just alright for what it was (C)

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.
