I've visited Big John's Treat Shoppe several times and each visit has been consistently enjoyable. The staff are always friendly, even during busy times when there's never been a long wait. I've also used the drive-thru to order a cheeseburger, and the service was quick. Their prices are fair, portions generous, and the food consistently tastes great. Located in a small shopping center not far from Interstate 75, there's plenty of parking available. It offers a comfortable setting suitable for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. read more

The only good part of this place is the breakfast drive thru. It is good and the service is very good... that being said the menu choices on the board daily have gone way downhill. It is not worth the money I could get better food options from chain restaurants sadly. The burger that has been hyped up is not even as good as Wendys and the service there is pretty rough. Every time we go I feel like I'm inconveniencing them from working. This was once a 5 star place but I wouldn't recommend it anymore read more

Not far from the interstate so I made the detour to try this place out. It was a mid-January Saturday morning and the place was packed, so I sat at the small bar since I was dining alone. It wasn't a long wait and the friendly staff took my order and asked all the right questions on how I wanted my eggs cooked. I had the "special" from the blackboard which was two eggs cooked to order, sausage patties, and a biscuit with sausage gravy. All those items were good quality, properly cooked, and tasted good. The staff ensured my drink refills were prompt and I paid at the register, so no wait to check out. read more

Nothing special. Basic budget food purveyor menu items. Instant potatoes (by texture), canned/bottled gravy (by taste), bland peach cobbler. Service was great and the prices were reasonable, the saving grace. Hard to say if I would return. read more

I had a 9 hour drive ahead of me this morning and decided to try this place at the start of my trip. I was incredibly disappointed with one of the two biscuits that my boyfriend and i ordered for breakfast. I obviously cannot be sure how/if this was missed when the food was being prepared but i couldn't believe that a whole clump of gray hair made it into the biscuit! We were already back on the road and a ways away by the time we noticed and unfortunately couldn't go back to show them and get a refund but I hope this establishment can reach out and make things right. The prices were extremely affordable despite the current state of things and their google rating was great so I was expecting much better care being taken when preparing the food since many other patrons spoke of good experiences. (we are both in our twenties so this gray hair cannot possibly be ours) read more

See all

A very good place to get a "home cooked meal" We eat here at least once a week and can honestly say we have never had anything bad! Great breakfasts too and great homemade chicken salad! S & S read more

Great down home Southern cooking. They have a full menu and and array of three daily specials and it is recommended you get there early because this place gets very busy and the specials sell out fast!!! No matter how busy they are, they never fail to deliver on great table service either. Call in, walk in, dine in, or drive thru. Nothing fancy just plain good. read more

Burger was good. Needed a little pizazz, but fine. We like coleslaw with a little sweet, this is not. Fries were basic crinkle Staff was mixed one was very nice, 2 made me feel very out of place... like I was annoying them. Basic diner setting , we ate outside because we had a dog with us so did not pay attention to the inside. read more

Great food, fast service! Everything was fresh and well seasoned. Best hidden gem in Calhoun. Made me feel like I was at Grandmas house! read more

The food was wonderful and the staff was great! Would recommend it to anyone, also gave a great classic environment that we are always looking forward to! read more

My favorite thing about this restaurant are the employees. They are always so kind and helpful. The food isn't a 5 star restaurant, but it definitely holds title for one of the best southern home cooking places in Calhoun. It's a good place to stop at and always recognize the food will be good. As for the inside, it's not the cleanest but no bugs or rodents. read more

Went here to pick up pancakes for the kids. The person who took the order was polite and helpful. I like how they had drive-through pick-up orders. We only order kids' pancakes and side bacon. Pancakes were nothing special. Bacon was cold and just too thin. read more

Burgers are always good. Got the chicken tenders they were very small and not very good. Seem like something you'd get out of a frozen bag. With all the chicken farms around you'd think they would source fresh chicken. read more

Very good burger! We love finding the local spots. Looks like this place is where they all go and I understand why. We will definitely stop again. read more

Breakfast, burgers or meat and three are tough to beat. Great service and they are hustling with refills.

Always great foot and service! Would recommend Big Johns to anyone. We eat there at least once per week

I usually get the cheeseburger combo with tater tots and fries. I love the food here they never disappoint. It's usually never crowded so they always serve well. The place not too small but not too big. If you love some good homemade burgers and stuff like, than this place is for you. read more

Best burgers in Calhoun and best country vegetables and meals. This place never disappoints. Out of the many visits we have been here only once was our burger not cooked the way we requested...I reached out to them and was told to make contact on next visit which I did and of course our next burger was perfect. Was going to take a pic but was so good forgot to take one. If your looking for really good food and service this is the place to go. read more

Local as Local can get. It's OK. Reasonable prices for a lunch. Not a place to take a first date though.

Love this place. Great food friendly service. The hamburgers are excellent and they have a great breaKfast as well.

Good food and fast friendly service. Fair prices.

Really good breakfast! I love their biscuits and gravy! Their cheeseburgers are delicious! The servers are so sweet!

You wouldn't expect this place to be so good given its location, but that's wrong. It is really good. The ingredients seem to be fresh, and the service is great. Best of all, they have REAL fried okra, not the frozen stuff you almost always find. That alone would bring me back, but the rest of the food was really good too. I'll be back. read more

Big John's has the best burger in town!!! BBQ and homemade chicken salad are great too. They are family friendly and everyone is welcome

Hit the spot. I was craving a cheeseburger and this one was good. Sides of okra and onion rings were tasty, too. None of it was 5 star worthy, but it was good. I will probably go back. read more

I love Big Johns. Their breakfast is fantastic and you can always run into a friend and have a chat. The service is incredible!

Great Food and service. I eat out 90% of my meals and this is the best food for the price in Calhoun. Never had a bad meal . All the employees are super nice and serve you with great service. The owner comes from behind the grill to greet the guest in the dining room. Wow , never seen that in any other restaurant, Give the food and whole team a excellent rating. read more

Excellent service. So far everything I've had here is good. Burgers are some of the best in the area, slaw dog is good, slaw could be a little creamier. Friendly service. They do close a little earlier but a great little local place. Very reasonably priced and they have daily specials. One of the few places you still get a meat and veggies without it being an all you can eat buffet trough. read more

Best B-B-Q around. Very fairly priced. Will eat there many times.
