    Cute lil retro Big Boy
    Stephanie S.

    Came in for a quick bite. From the time I walked in, everyone was SO friendly! The vibe was awesome and I felt as though they genuinely wanted to ensure everyone dining there was having a great experience. It's diner food, the menu was huge but what I thought was awesome was this salad bar! Love a good salad bar. Although I didn't get the salad bar, my side salad was delish! I really like their ranch! The chicken tenders are hand breaded, and had a very good flavor! That breading was awesome! I also loved the seasoned salt that they had on the table. Being I live in New Orleans, my go to seasoning is Tony's so I was totally unprepared for the explosion of different spices. Looking at the ingredients and I see why! Curry powder, ginger, umani medley, sage.... Like WHAT?! Yes! I need a case of this stuff!! I do want to thank Rachel for her outstanding service! Completely went above and beyond for ya girl! Great spirit that just shines right through! Becky and the gentleman that seated me, (I think he could be upper management), were very nice and attentive as well! A quick simple bite that totally exceeded my expectations by looking at pictures from YELP! So glad I decided to form my own opinion and take better pictures!

    Its hit a miss . When it comes to takeout orders.. meaning check your food at the restaurant . You will not get your money back if you're not satisfied, you've been worn. It's not like it was in 2015?.

    The reviews on this Big Boy seem to be barbelled between love and hate. The loves understand that it's a Big Boy and not Chez Money in Bham. The hates seem to , well not like anything. Like the review that didn't like the "clamp shouter!". Thanks Einstein. When in Rome as the saying goes, do as the Roman's do. Well when in Big Boy do as the Big Boyans (?) do. Don't expect a cheap gourmet lunch. Go in knowing that this is going to be old school hearty fare and you'll be fine. I am of the latter group and ordered a Big Boy, fries and an iced tea with the salad and soup bar. ( Hey I had a gift card!). I was torn between "the best cheese burger in the world" the name of which they have somehow trademarked and the Big Boy but I went with the original. As for scouring the world for other cheeseburgers to compare, while appealing, seemed out of the question. I started with the salad bar which was great with, wait for it...iceberg lettuce that was fresh and crispy and all of the other faves. The soup(s) had to wait for another visit so I'll withhold judgement. My burger and fries arrived in good time and was fantastic. The Big Boy is basically what McDonalds ripped off for the Big Mac. Two patties, sauce, lettuce, pickles, you get the drift. The fries could have been in a bit more...hello 5th star, but were fine. Iced teas were brought in quick succession and were fresh with a nice wedge of lemon. They had some great looking deserts but that's for next time. All in a great if a bit pricey lunch. But hey everything is pricey these days. So put on your retro hat and your big boy pants and step back in time for a great lunch at an iconic restaurant. And you're really shopping local because the chain in headquartered in Warren! Big boy, oh boy...Go!

    Strawberry pie

    Average. I came here today with my parents, they wanted to take advantage of the 99c strawberry pie special (99c with purchase). I think the last time I went to a Big Boy was about a year ago, but before that, like 10+ years ago ... this one is right by my house, though, so was convenient. The pie was a bit disappointing. It's basically just strawberries, with strawberry goo (gel?), and pie crust. I liked the pie crust but thought it would be more like an actual pie. However, their other pies near the check-out counter looked good. My mom got the "cookie pie" which was just a flat cookie (not your typical "cookie pie") topped with ice cream and whipped cream. It was still tasty, though. Service was overall fine. I noticed they're open until midnight on the weekends which is good to know in case I'm looking for a late meal or snack. They also had free WiFi, which was nice.

    This was the first time I have been to this location. I ordered the Strawberry Belgian Waffle Blockbuster. It was delicious it had fresh strawberries and whip cream. It was so good. It also came with eggs bacon and sausage links. My waitress Julia was awesome.

    A burger that you would never believe. -#cheat on beef. Ya right lol

We started with fresh juices--detox: a bright orange juice that tasted like a refreshing citrus blend Immuno: a carrot, orange and apple blend. Both were vibrant, freshly made, and genuinely delicious. Eggs Benedict with hash browns: perfectly poached eggs, Canadian bacon, and a generous, creamy hollandaise sauce on an English muffin. Hash browns were crisp and nicely browned. We also ordered the classic breakfast with two eggs, ham, and hash browns--simple, hearty, and very satisfying. The food was beautifully presented, the outdoor setting was pleasant, and the fresh juices were a standout. A great spot for a relaxed weekend brunch.

My servers are usually always attentive. Today was very weird though, so I don't think I'll be coming back. I ordered an Americano and then was some discussion from the barista (?) on whether it was a single or a double espresso shot. Then someone, I didn't look to see who, was ranting about how Americanos are SO STUPID and why wouldn't I just order a $2 espresso shot instead. The guy sitting at the bar asked her to repeat it and they all laughed. WTF? If you're going to talk trash about your customers, at least wait til they leave. Rude.

Maybe once a month. Came here with a friend. Host was incredibly overwhelmed and snappy with us. Short haired, older woman. We get seated. I order a chicken salad. When it comes I notice the whole dish smells a little funky. I notice the manager walking by so I wave her down and mention it. She's rushing and barely hears me out. I continue to eat it with her reassurance. Later, I'm woken in the middle of the night, very sick. Vomited for so many hours I went to the hospital and had to get a shot of anti-emetic. Not even a matter of if I wanted to come back here (they acted slammed while the seating in the building holds maybe 50 people all at once and they have a fully kitted staff) It's a matter of health and safety on whether I CAN come back.

    I've driven by Whistle Stop Diner plenty of times and always wanted to give it a try, so I finally…read moredecided to stop in and I'm so glad I did! It's a cute, small, quaint diner tucked away in a neighborhood. They have plenty of seating both inside and outside, and we were greeted quickly by the hostess, who gave us a table outside. The outdoor seating was really nice and made for a relaxing experience. Our waitress was super friendly and gave us plenty of options and recommendations to choose from. I decided to go with the an egg plate with bacon and the Apple Blueberry Pancakes. Those pancakes were AMAZING! They were honestly the highlight of my meal, and I'm still thinking about them. I already know I have to go back because I want to try more things on the menu--but if I'm being honest, those Apple Blueberry Pancakes are the main reason I'm going back! Overall, I had a really nice first experience. Cute atmosphere, friendly service, and pancakes worth coming back for. Definitely glad I finally gave this place a try!

    I've heard about Whistle Stop Diner and wanted to try this place out. While on my way to the cat…read morerescue to donate cat food, I decided that since this was in the area, I would grab a bite and check the place out. There's limited parking but it's not terribly impossible to get a spot. I walked inside and the place was jamming! Patio was full, families waiting outside, and the windows open. Since it was just me, I was able to get seated at a two top, unfortunately right in the middle of the place. There was bar seating, but I wasn't feeling it this time, so two top table it was. The menu has a great selection of breakfast and lunch items for most anyone. I was torn between the breakfast burrito, potato pancakes and the breakfast burger. After asking my waitress some questions, I went with the breakfast burrito with chicken instead of chorizo. (no pork for me!) I made this decision based off the fact that they were able to swap out the pork for chicken, and it wasn't a massive burrito, I loved the food and it was just the right portions. Hash browns were good, but tasted a bit funky. I don't know how to describe it, but maybe it was like the grill just got cleaned? I didn't finish them all because of the odd flavor, but also due to me inhaling my burrito at an accelerated pace. My server was fantastic and handled everything like a champ. Decor is spot on and I enjoyed my time here. Will return in the future!

The place is small, but well laid out, and the service is spot on. As soon as we were seated, are drink orders were taken immediately. I love omelettes or sweet stuff for b-fast. They get them both right! First time, I got the Spinach, avocado and Swiss omelette, and my driver got the Fruit explosion crepes. We shared, of course. I'm not a potato person, so I always substitute tomatoes for potatoes, when they let me. Their tomatoes were good quality, sweet-ish, not mealy, or too snotty. The crepes were gorgeous to look at and a pleasure to eat! Second time, I got the Elvis french toast which did not disappoint! Warning, they're rich, you may need a glass of milk to wash them down. My driver got the Florentine Benedict and he loved them. They know how to do brunch!!!! I'll definitely be back.
