    Great sandwiches!!! Very friendly service. The kids love the sandwiches. Great value for the price. I'll be back next time we're in the area.

    Nasty dirty soggy worst. Staff does not care about service. Had multiple bad experiences here and I won't give them another opportunity.

    The service here is always amazing! It's just a normal mom & pop diner as far as atmosphere -…read morenothing special. Breakfast is pretty good but that's where good stops. I've had meals for lunch and dinner here when meeting family members who are live near to here. The food is very very salty and lack luster. Clio does not have a ton of options but I think next time we will be trying something els

    This had to be the worst experience I think I've ever had going out for breakfast. We had looked up…read morea place to have breakfast on our way home from Frankenmuth and this seemed like a nice family restaurant. When we sat down, our waitress, asked for our drink order and brought it probably within 10 minutes. At that point, the waitress said she would go get her pad to come and take our order. We probably waited another 20 minutes watching her run around the restaurant and finally asked another waitress if she could come take our order , so she called over our waitress who apologized for taking so long. We put in our order and saw the waitress walk over to the computer screen and enter our order. At that point we were waiting and we knew it was memorial day and things might take a little bit longer, so we were allowing for a little extra time however we noticed a table behind us and a table in front of us who had arrived after us, and not only place their order, but received their food while we were still waiting. The person I was with finally called another waitress over and said that we've been waiting over an hour for our food and he asked to speak to the owner or the manager because he was very upset about us waiting so long. At that point another new waitress came over and apologized and said that our waitress was in the back room having a meltdown over the situation and that she was going to buy our breakfast for us. My friend was very upset. I was a little more calm, but he said there's no way we are paying for this order. We've been here over an hour, that waitress walked away and then came back and said she wanted to verify our order so that everything was perfect on the order. we gave her specific details on our order and she went in the back and said it would come out quickly and I believe it it came out then in 20 minutes. My theory is that the first waitress somehow enter all the information in the computer and lost our order so that when that other waitress came back to check on the specifics of our order, she was actually taking our order from scratch and they had to go in the back and make it up brand new. The food was fine but maybe a little bit greasy, but with the whole fiasco with our order taking over an hour and a half and us watching other people come after us eat and leave while we're still waiting for our food was very upsetting. As soon as we got done eating, we just got up and left the restaurant. The first waitress never made any kind of apologies to us, and I thought that was a lack of professionalism and kind of tacky. Obviously, we would never go back here and I believe they need to come up with some new strategies for training their staff and telling them how to deal with customers and how to take orders properly.

    I'm rating this for what it is, compared to other Big Boy locations, not trying to make it…read moresomething it's not. You don't go here for healthy. You go for the Big Boy burger, fries, and that mix of mayo and ketchup on the side. You already know what you're walking into. That burger alone feels like you gain weight just looking at it, and honestly... that's the point. And you do not skip the Boston Cooler. That's non-negotiable. This spot, especially in Michigan, is one of those places you hit on the way in or out of Saginaw. It's part of the routine. Some locals might be over it, but if you didn't grow up around it, it's almost like a rite of passage. Does it need a deep clean? Probably. But you kind of make peace with that walking in. The mindset is simple: the food is cooked, you're here for the experience, and you know exactly what you're getting. It's one of those old-school, almost historic-feeling joints you just don't drive past. You stop, you order the classics, and you lean into it.

Even the coleslaw was fresh and tasty. The waitress provided excellent service. The food was promptly delivered and did not disappoint. Don't let this old favorite slip away as many have. You can't go wrong with a Slim Jim or a Big Boy hamburger.

    Given prior reviews, this place must have really upped their game!…read more Two of us stopped here on a Monday night as we wanted a decent meal deal without being limited to burgers and fries. The vibe was comfy as they had a Lions game on the TVs and some of the patrons were interested. The restaurant was about 40% full at 7 pm. We ordered from the 2 for $25 menu, which let us of each get a house (or caesar) salad and entree. The house salads were fresh and generous, with chopped cucumber, tomato, cheese and croutons. We both ordered the chicken parmasean fettuccine as entrees, expecting a lot of pasta with a small portion of chicken. That's NOT what happened! There WAS a generous portion of pasta with ample sauce and a thick, full half chicken breast. It was fried, but not greasy, and topped with an appropriate amount of flavorful tomato sauce and cheese. It also came with a breadstick. Because we were driving through the area, we did not order any drinks, despite the many specials and options offered. Our server, Ally, was friendly and checked on us at the right times. The restaurant was clean, although we did notice a table go uncleared for a relatively long time, not that anyone was left waiting. I've avoided Applebees for a long time, but I'd come back. It was a good experience, food and deal.
