Ok. I have to be honest. I can't give this place an unbiased review. Bobs has been a favorite of mine since I was child and they were everywhere. The service was excellent. I can't remember her name but she was an older woman that wore a mask and memorized our order. She was incredibly sweet and attentive. The food made me feel young again. This is no small thing. I loved it. read more

My friend from high school came to visit from Oregon. She had fond memories of Bob's Big Boy. My memories were of the ads on TV. Nonetheless, I'm down for trying this legendary diner! The place is on the outside looks modern but then the statues of Bob's remind you it isn't. The place is very spacious. They weren't very busy on a Friday night. We were seated in a booth. Iris who sat us was wonderful. She is also the cashier. Great customer service! Andrew, our server was also great. He took his time taking our and because they weren't busy, he checked on us often. I ordered the strawberry cheesecake milkshake as my drink. Iris brought it out and said that they actually put real cheesecake in it. It was thick. I definitely tasted the strawberry but am not sure where the cheesecake was in the shake. I ordered the build your own burger with veggie patty, mozzarella, lettuce, pickles, garlic mayo, steak sauce, and upgraded to sautéed mushrooms. I also subbed Onion rings for fries. Our food came very quickly. My burger was large. I really liked the sautéed mushrooms. The onion rings were also very good. They were well breaded and crispy. I was so full by the end of the meal. I had my dessert already so didn't get anymore. They look to have many choices of cookies on display. I will have to try it next time. They also had Bobs big boy merchandise for sale. It was fun to see what they had. There's very few Bob's left and I hope this one stays open! read more

Service was good and friendly. Food was OK. I still think McDonald's Big Mac tastes better somehow..but that's just me.

There are few Bob's Big Boy's left so whenever we run across one we have to stop in! Our experience today ranked 5 stars for several reasons: Our server Dakota was excellent, friendly & attentive! Our go to classic big boy combo did not disappoint - fresh burger & fries + the salad was cool & crisp (how I love) & Bob's Blue Cheese is just yum! The finale "hot fudge cake" we shared was perfection!! Oh, & the facility was also very clean which means a LOT! We would drive an hour to come back when we have a Big Boy craving... read more

Good, and service were good but it's always cold inside so my food gets cold quick. This will be our last visit because for simple food it is way to expensive. read more

Good food and service, lots of food enough for two meals. However I was so grossed out by the female employee with the green hair working the ice cream area that kept rubbing her nose with her hand and picking at her ear, that I will most likely never return to this location. read more

My family didn't dine out often when I was a kid, but we did eat at Big Boy every now and then. I learned that there is a location in Norco and set out on a short road trip with my own family to have lunch. The parking lot may look super busy, but there is a Dutch Bros in the same lot and they seem really popular. It was busy in the restaurant, but we were seated right away. All of the employees were cheerful and made you feel welcome. One of my kiddos actually ate a Super Big Boy combo and one had the build your own burger, I had a Big Boy combo with salad & bleu cheese dressing, and my husband had the roast beef club sandwich. For an up charge, my husband and I ordered chili cheese fries with our meals. My salad was crisp and the Big Boy bleu cheese dressing never disappoints. All of us loved our lunches. I offered to buy a banana split for my kiddos to share and expected them to decline because there was so much food, but the appeal of a banana split won out and they were so happy excited to have one. At the register they sell Big Boy T-shirts, magnets, keychains, and their special blend of seasoned salt. I was very tempted to buy a T-shirt. Maybe next time. My family loved visiting Bob's Big Boy in Norco and we will definitely make the drive again! read more

We won't go back again. I have never not given a tip. In fact, I usually tip quite well, even if the service is so-so. I understand how difficult being a waiter is and I like to show my gratitude. However, the experience we had with our waiter Dakota left us speechless. He seemed friendly enough at first. I have never had a waiter sit down to take our order but I thought cool he is being personable. We did have to wait quite a while for our shakes and food but that wasn't his fault. Shortly after we arrived, a young man who appeared to be Dakota's friend sat in the booth across from us and he spent some time speaking with his friend. That didn't bother us. The one thing that was suspicious is when Dakota slipped something small in his friend's hand who then immediately put it in his pocket. I still didn't have a problem with his service until we got our food. The ketchup was empty. My husband asked Dakota for another. I didn't hear it but apparently he said ok in a minute, then continued to talk with his friend. Since I wasn't aware that my husband already asked him for more ketchup, I waited patiently until he was done speaking to his friend. When he was done, he started rushing away but I quickly said excuse me but can we get more ketchup? He angrily responded pointing at my husband that he already asked. When he came back with the ketchup he again was angry and said "you just couldn't wait a minute?" Later my husband in a nice way tried to talk to him about how taken back he was by the response Dakota gave. Dakota just wanted to argue. We were planning on ordering some dessert but decided that we couldn't get out of there quick enough. read more

I was feeling nostalgic so wanted a Big Boy combo. It was delicious- fresh and hot off the grill! The server was friendly and attentive! I have been going to Bobs Big Boy for 60 years-it was special treat when I was a child. The restaurant was was very festive. read more

first timer here, everything was as I imagined it would be. We ordered the classic big boy combos and one knife and fork chicken plate, all of it tasty and wonderful. We also had an excellent server (Karen - you are amazing!!!) it felt like we also time traveled back to a much simpler time ambiance wise. thank you so much! read more

Wow. Over 1 hour sitting here waiting for our food and watching people come in after after us and order and leave. Finally got our food and surprise surprise it's was horrible. Cold, no flavor or way too salty. The waiter came over 3 times after we got our food but prior to that we only saw him once and that was when we ordered the food. Really disappointed. We will never come back here again that's for sure. read more

I grew up with Bob's Big Boy. I had many good meals and experiences there. There are so few left in Southern California that it is worth seeking them out. Many of the classic menu items are still there. Look for the menu notations. I had the Chili Spaghetti and a Hot Fudge Ice Cream Cake. This was a meal combination I had a lot of way back in the early 1980s when I was still in college. Bob's had a special for one month only for a mere $2.98. Anyways, it is substantially more now in price but it is still delicious. I noticed that the portion size is bigger now, too. The Hot Fudge Ice Cream Cake was rich and delicious. The ice cream definitely helped balance out the sweetness of the chocolate cake. The hot fudge sauce was thick and slightly chewy. This was a delicious dessert and you should leave room so that it can be enjoyed. The restaurant also has a small merchandise store. There are t-shirts for sale as well as memorabilia. They also have the Bob's Big Boy salad dressings for sale as well as their famous red relish. The red relish is delicious on a grilled beef patty. This restaurant has many of the Bob's Big Boy statues from former locations as well as one with a cowboy hat to commemorate Norco. Be sure to have a picture taken next to one. read more

Made an intentional trip to this nostalgic restaurant today for lunch. This took us back to a different time and we both reminisced about our childhoods and memories made at Bob's Big Boy. The food was just as we remembered and the service was fantastic. If you're looking to experience a little nostalgia make your way to Bobs. read more

Bobs Big Boy is a classic place to get food if you like great food and great smiles. I ordered the classic Big Boy with the Fries, and they are delicious and taste way better than diner food, which is mind blowing. The Big Boy looks like a Big Mac from McDonald's, but tastes 100x better than McDonald's which is a great place to go to and the Burgers are seasoned perfectly, with just the right amount of Salt & Pepper, and that's what I like on a good Burger. Their Fries are absolutely delicious with the Big Boy Seasoning, and they taste so fresh and have a ton of flavor, and you can also get the Big Boy Seasoning for home so that's a honor. If you love great food better than Dennys & IHOP check this place out, you would be surprised at how good it actually is. read more

Our family was visiting California from Texas and really looking forward to Bob's Big Boy for dinner. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst takeout experiences we've ever had. We placed an online order for takeout totaling over $100. When my nephew went to pick it up, the restaurant said they did not have the order in their system--despite the fact that their POS system had already charged our card. He was told he had to re-order the entire meal, wait while they remade everything, and was charged a second time for another $100+. We were told the original charge might be refunded tomorrow. After waiting over an hour total, he finally brought the food home, only for us to discover that one of the meals was incorrect. My niece ordered chili spaghetti and received only chili with no spaghetti noodles at all. By the time we realized this, the restaurant was already closed, so there was no way to call and have the issue corrected. To make matters worse, we are driving back to Texas tomorrow night, so following up in person isn't an option. Between being double-charged, the excessive wait, incorrect food, and no ability to resolve the issue the same day, this experience was unbelievably disappointing. This was not the quality or service we expected, especially for a family dinner while traveling. read more

Food was okay but not great. Service sucked big time. If the name on the check was actually our server, Karen, I would not want her ever again. She took our order. She placed it on the table when it was ready, walked away and never returned to see how our meal was, offer to refill our beverage glasses, or if she could do anything else for us. I attempted to get her attention because a requested condiment for my burger was missing. She would not make eye contact, instead turned away and went to the back ignoring me completely. When she did return at the end, she did ask if we saved room for dessert and I said no. She put the check on the table and walked away. This was my grandson's first to Bob's because I wanted to share something from my childhood days with him. Such a disappointment. AND they lost more of their sales because I was planning to order dessert for the two of us but with her lack of customer service, I decided I was not going to spend any of my hard earned money here. I can't say that I picked up on any sense of joy from any of the staff here. It's more like robots just going through the motions. read more

Love bobs classic combo, not many Big Boy left and this one is a very classic store,no car hop service,but lots of parking and right off the freeway. The place has the same looking menu and you have to have a shake and try the strawberry for sure. read more

We.come all the way from Whittier to this location. Every time we come here we have had a great experience. The staff have always been so wonderful and so polite to us. The food has always been so delicious. We usually will order a burger with fries. We have gotten their shakes and they come with the glass of shake with the metal cup it was blended in with the extra. Trust me the shake can be shared with 2 people. We have one near us in Downey but the customer service, the food and the clean atmosphere keeps us coming back. read more

My husband had the meatloaf dinner and peach tea which was super tasty. I ordered a burger and fries with a coke, it was okay. First let me say I have a handful of places that use ingredients and/or oils that don't upset my stomach and leave me in the bathroom. With that said, I will have to go back again and try something else off the menu to see if it happens again, because I really wanted to give it 4 stars. Our server was Laverne and she was great! She was friendly, thoughtful and has excellent customer service. This was like the original Bob's Big Boy 50's style diner. I love the decor of the restaurant. It takes you back in time to younger days. I also liked the gifts you can purchase. read more

It's Bob's Big Boy, what more can I say. I love their little restaurant here in Norco. I believe we are one of the few Big Boys wearing a cowboy hat. Yippee Ki-Yay!! The ambiance is about as good as it gets for Big Boy. They have done a lot to give it a homey country atmosphere. I had the Fish and Chips, which was great. My husband had the burger which he said was good. The up charge for onion rings was a bit much, but they do have endless Arnold Palmer which I love. Our server was a very sweet young lady who was extremely attentive. We arrived here just before 6:00 PM on a Friday and we were seated and served right away. read more

Always stop by on the way to Vegas for a burger! Never disappoints! Great service with great food!!!

If you are a bit older you will remember when Bob's Big Boy was all over California. Today this is one of a handful open. I had the classic Big Boy Combination. The double burger with it 3 part bun & the signature Red Relish. Still taste the same . The salad with Bobs famous blue cheese dressing and crispy fries or onion rings. Service is friendly and prompt. While I did not indulge the classic hot fudge cake is available. In addition to a variety of desserts. This location is one of a vary few that was built after Marriott sold off Bobs. It has a 50 dinner look . This Big boy has several Bob's statues including a one of a king Bob in a cowboy hat. read more
