    A deserted Big Boy...7pm on a Wednesday.
    Kimberly S.

    I walked in and placed an order to go. The restaurant is clean and everyone was helpful but the place seems deserted. I hope it's more busy during breakfast time because I feel like that's what Big Boy is for anymore. Side note... the very few customers that were there the waitresses seemed to know by name and knew they were there for desert before they were even sat. Having regulars means they must be doing something right. :) Ps. I beyond love their tartar sauce. It keeps me coming back.

    Best Big Boy Breakfast bar is always kept clean and seniors rule here! Great place to take your 4 year old God Daughter's.

    The restaurant is overcharging for meals. They don't honor the Senior discount cards.

I only know how to find it because I used to live around there, but I wouldn't have known about it if I didn't search Yelp. The food really was amazing. There has been a huge influx of Yemeni coffee houses in the area, but the first that also serves a full menu of brunch food that includes traditional options and your more American options - omelets, pancakes, etc. I was in the mood to try something traditional. I went with the Lahm Sighar. It's a minced meat dishes with onions and peppers, with Yemeni flavors. It comes with a giant piece of khubz (think naan). Obviously you don't have to, but you're supposed to pick the food up with pieces of khubuz if you want the authentic experience. I would compare Lahm Sighar to Corned Beef Hash if you're at an American diner if you're tying to picture it. It was really crowded, so that's a good sign, but the service was still great. They made sure I understood what I was getting into when I asked for Medium Spicy. Since I only go back to the Dearborn area every few months now, I anticipate this is now my newest go-to brunch spot. So glad I found this place. :-)

    Nice family friendly spot or girls meet up for brunch. You can also text to reserve a spot in line…read more They do switch up their menu sometimes. This was a third visit for hubby and I. I ordered biscuits with turkey sausage gravy and hubby ordered The works omelette. Biscuit and turkey sausage gravy was a LOW for me. Light gravy and very light turkey sausage. Would not recommend. The Blackberry Bramble Sangria was a hit with me... yummy! The works omelette comes loaded with sausage bacon ham mushroom tomatoes and cheese. Looked great, but hubby felt it was overcooked. Also, be sure to let server know if you prefer different side instead of the lemon-dressed organic greens(small salad) omelettes are served with.

    This place is definitely worth a visit if you are ever in the Detroit area. First things first,…read morethey do not take reservations and they are always on a wait, that should tell you that they are good. We arrived in the middle of a snowstorm on a weekday. It was a Friday though around 11am and, predictably, they had a wait. We had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. It was totally worth the wait. Their ambiance is cute- the hallway is clean, they have bench seating and they put you on the list to get a text, so you could sit in the car if you really wanted to; we did not. They could use a foyer though. It was 22 degrees and snowing so every time the door opened we were instantly freezing. The menu is massive so if you're trying this for the first time and you're from out of town, honey bring as many friends as you can so that you guys can order everything!! Theeeee must have that I tried were the smoked wings. I have never had wings that were smoked and then fried baby they were crispy. They were seasoned to the bone and were delicious. I almost ate them all and had no room for anything else. We also did the berry pancakes which could feed 3-5 people alone; second of all, they're not overly sweet, which is why I did berries and not the peaches or anything like that; and, third of all, the pancakes are the size of your face, but they are fluffy and melt in your mouth! These were easily top two pancakes I've had in my life. We also tried the shrimp and grits, also a 10/10. A generous portion of shrimp, not overcooked and the sauce was bomb. They do put bacon on it if you're not a bacon eater pay attention. I tasted around it anyways but yes, we also tried a vegetarian omelette with home fries. This was just a 7/10 but probably because we only ever tasted it reheated because we were too full to touch it. It was 3 entrees and an appetizer and was definitely enough food to feed a family of seven. This is a must visit place, so if you are in the area and have never been: make time!!!! And take some friends. Each plate is a day's worth of calories!

I usually don't like to bring a group somewhere that doesn't take reservations but I took a chance on this place and happy I did. I ordered the berry pancakes and they were amazing. I don't like things to be too sweet first thing in am so I ordered without the cream cheese frosting and just added syrup which was perfect amount of sweetness. The portion was so huge I could only eat 1/4 of it. Everything else that was ordered around the table looked amazing and also had very generous portions.

    * adding a pic for my last review! The cute extra champagne for the mimosa. Lol…read more We came here again in 2025 and had another great experience. I ordered the Monte Carlo and made it deluxe to get a side salad and fries. It was very good. I forgot what my boyfriend got :( We got a to go order for his father, we got him a stir fry. The stir fry came with soup (chicken noodle) and salad and a bread stick. The garlic bread stick with a stir fry is a little odd, it would be nice if there was a choice of bread. The beer menu is nice! If you're a craft beer fan, there are a lot of options. Love the vibe of the restaurant, this time we're seated on the opposite side and it had a completely different feeling, more cozy than where we were seated the first visit.

This place is a nice size, they have an outside patio area for the nice days. Our waitress was super nice and on point with service. Ordered the 9oz Tropical Mimosa and it came in tall glass and was very good. I ordered the Jerk Wings, they were good but the sauce was more of a habanero spice that was too spicy for me. I also had a side of the collard greens that were a little too sweet for my liking and I tried a cup of the Gumbo that was very good and flavorful. My daughter got the shrimp and grits they were amazing, she also had a waffle and it was good. The waitress gave us two beignets for free since it was our first time. My daughter said they were good. I will most definetly go back to try other items.

    I've been to the French Toast Bistro location in Plymouth more times than I can count - even before…read moreit became a brunch place solely. The Canton restaurant is newer but just as popular. There was a long line of customers, but the wait was tolerable, barely 10 minutes. The restaurant is much larger and brighter; the large windows allow in more light. Service was quick, allowing more customers to be served. My rule for dining out is to select dishes I don't make well at home due to a lack of skill or ingredients. So here, it meant a lobster omelette and pancakes. Yes, I'm a failure with pancakes, despite the numerous, numerous times I've attempted them. One, I rarely keep milk at home, and two, my pancakes tend to burn. Sigh. The pancakes here are fluffy and delicious. I even liked the fake, thick pancake syrup served here. The omelette was savory and well-prepared. My friend had the baked French Toast, which looked appetizing and dessert-like. Service was quick and responsive.
