Cannot go wrong with the Classic Big Boy Combo. If you like Bleu Cheese with your fries , ask for a side of dressing and go to town !

Eater

From the glowing logo to the Big Boy himself out front, this is a destination for anyone who enjoys taking a bite out of nostalgia as much as the food. Read more

Friday nights, come to see free car show. Loads of vintage cars . Walk up order window in the back. Bring a chair and chill outside if you like.

Brendan Rastetter

I spent a lot of late nights here and drank way too many of their amazing milkshakes . I regret nothing. And you have to order a burger . Go with the Super Big Boy with fries ...chili cheese fries !

Susan Belander

This is a classic so cal place for a Big boy combo and a shake as well as a historical spot everyone should visit at least once!

JNET

I’m happy this place is surviving the covid lockdown. Car hop service stayed opened throughout 2020. Social distance and enjoy a burger . Closes early though. I love this place!

Jennifer

Chili size spaghetti is a bizarre (but delicious) option. And it comes with garlic toast !

Lee Simpson

Solid dinner food in the last remaining original Big Boys.

John Kidde

Burgers , shakes , fries , and you can flavorize(new word) your soda . Plus, if you go on the right day there is a classic car show in the parking lot .

Frederic Peeters

A place you really need to visit when you're in CA for the atmosphere, and the hamburger culture ... but i was not 100% happy with the classic bigboy burger .

Offbeat L.A.

Opened 1949. Oldest remaining branch of the burger chain. Mixes streamline modern with Googie. Remodeled interior.

Ed R.

It's Bobs! How can you resist their classic burgers and Chili spaghetti ? No one does it better. Wish they'd come back to Northern California. (I think Bob is secretly a Giants fan, anyway.)

Bob Gallo

They want you to sign up to their site over the phone then send you a free coupon for food but you have to print it out. Yes, I carry around a printer all the time !! BS this is

David Caffrey

I love Burgers ! Fridays people bring their Hotrods and other classic cars to show off, it is AWESOME! And well worth a visit just for the experience. the coffee is good too

Sean Robison

The Big Boy is one of the tasty classic burgers . Can't go wrong with it.

Sean Miller

Get the original big boy combo . I grew up on this burger and it is still my favorite!

Matilda Clements

The vintage car show on Fridays in the parking lot is classic awesome!! Combine that with the Big Boy Burger combo can't be beat!

Ana Reza

Tried to get dinner but the wait was 45 minutes and my boys were starved. Fun car show Friday nights - I’ll be back to hopefully change to happy face.

Frankie

Must see car shows on Friday evenings. Also the bacon cheese burger is awesome.

Paul Coyne

Friday Classic Car Night has become a recurring date for my 4yr old daughter and me. Lots of colors, fun people, and classic, if basic, food.

Scott Mann

Can never go wrong with the original big boy combo but if wanting something different try the open face hot turkey sandwich very yummy

M Gonzalez

Lovely place, there’s nothing like it. Try a milkshake .

Michelle Arnaiz-Dela Rosa

Chili spaghetti hits the spot! Shakes are great too.

Kelsey A

Make sure you try the cherry coke with your burger . Also the seasoning salt is a must for your French fries !

ScottySauce

Get the famous double big boy classic burger and a hot fudge ice cream cake for dessert . Be sure to get a picture with the Big Boy.

Florence

My favorite movie Heat was filmed here.

Michael Chernick

Best burgers shakes and hot fudge cakes along with top notch French fries .

Lauren Moreno

Chili spaghetti is the best! Diet coke with side of Vanilla , salad ranch on side with bobs seasoning in it. Heavenly!

Lauren Timm

Gotta stick with the classic whenever dining here! Big Boy Burger & fries don't forget a wonderful chocolate milkshake !

ScottySauce

Meli Mel

It was great.. Out of all the banana shakes I've had at other places theirs was the best!!

Michael Mahoney

Get the big boy combo or the chili spaghetti .

Chevrolet

A classic retro diner , Classic Car enthusiasts pull into the Drive-In every Friday night. +2 points if you spot a classic Camaro and Corvette!

Mack Shahnazarian

Great food awesome atmosphere

Sinan Hotic

USDA choice Delmonica Steak is really good!! ( try w Mash Potatoes )

Scott Rudolph

If you are there at night - ELI is the Server to request...If you would like dessert ask for "Ross's Ass"...It's Whip Cream in a cookie/waffle cone with a cherry on top!

Sean Robison

Classic Big Boy. Enough said.

Joshua Chaney

Try the Vanilla Coke ! Like non you have ever had!

Raman Gulati

The burgers are more fast food than gourmet... gotta try something else on the menu next time. Warning: the parking lot in the back gets pretty full at lunchtime!

Sydney Berger

Chocolate milkshake with an All-American Burger #Mmmm #BobsBigBoy

Jairo Arreola

First time here. If you plan on having lunch , arrive early to beat the crowd!

Claudine L.

The best chicken tortilla soup ; the cheesy-creamy kind w/ perfectly crunchy tortilla strips .

Benny D.

Bleu Cheese Burger is the best!

SundanceTV

The Push Girls embrace the finger-lickin' good California historical landmark . So should you.

JNET

Bobs Big Boy is a COVID2020 survivor!

Sherri Camarillo

Get the French toast deep fried, not grilled. Squeeze a little of the orange wedge on it before adding syrup . Then smile, you are about to taste heaven.

Nathalie Duran

I always come here for the deep fried French toast ! Well done! <3

Matilda Clements

The original Big Boy burger can't be beat!

Matilda Clements

Classic experience - an "original!"

Kevin Allen

It's Saturday afternoon and half the parking lot is blocked off. My tip is there are plenty of restaurants across the street.
