Big Boy

★ 3.5 / 5 (2371 reviews)

The local diner has seen a wide range of guest experiences, reflecting a decline in service and food quality. Patrons reported long wait times and disappointing meals, including stale salads and undercooked dishes. While some visitors lamented their experiences, others praised the quick service, friendly staff, and exceptional coffee. The highlight of the menu appears to be the chicken and waffles, alongside well-executed fish and chips. Despite mixed sentiments, regulars appreciate the cozy atmosphere and attentive service. With improvements in food consistency and service training, the diner could regain its reputation and loyal customer base.

Was d adams at Big Boy a mag?
I like going there on Sunday for breakfast it's always real busy. The breakfast is good however it's the employees who keep me coming back. Shout out to Barb, Courtney, Bridget and Theresa y'all are great at your job and always give excellent service. View all feedback.

What Gisselle Fritsch dislikes about Big Boy:
there worked for a month a day and on time did what I was told. I look at my day on the schedule and they tell me that they don't need me there are financial problems had 3 days to never report me that I showed up and had to go. the kitchen is dirty and nasty. arbys pays more to do less and they are more professional than this “restaurant” View all feedback.

Ever since I moved to the area, I have been coming to this restaurant. It has the best coffee in a cozy setting in the city. The staff is always polite and friendly, and they make an effort to know and take care of their regular customers. I have tried almost everything on the breakfast menu (except for items I am allergic to) and the food always arrives promptly and is delicious. I have never had to send anything back. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in or near Alpena.
