    Small town diner with big taste! Cooked all good to my liking, the best biscuits and gravy for miles! Don't hesitate to stop in!

    No way Jose's I grew…read moreup in Cedar Springs and recently went back after 40 years and this place was still open. Figured it would be fire for lasting that long, nope. Walked in at 5pm, no music, no people just the sound of the waitresses 4 kids pushing plastic grocery carts around the restaurant. Considered leaving right there until one of her kids gave me a menu. As I sat looking around at the Rand McNally framed map of the US and dusty piñatas for sale hanging from the ceiling I realized this could be really awesome or a night in the bathroom. I placed an order for a chicken quesadilla and two chicken tacos. The waitress then went and took her kids order, which was fries and chicken nugs. 30 min later her kids food came out and she yelled at the cook to hurry mine up. When I did get mine the quesadilla consisted of half block Velveeta (which I normally love) and half boiled chicken. My two chicken tacos came out as beef. Not one to complain, I dug in and my word, i shoulda went with my instincts to leave. The beef tacos main spice must have been sand since it had a strange crunch like I dropped them on the beach and stepped on them. The quesadila within 2 min solidified and was like saltwater taffy from Mackinac Island. I politely asked for a to-go box so I could dispose of elsewhere. Props to them for 40 plus years in business, my people from Cedar must never have been to a real Mexican restaurant or real restaurant general.

    Despite the other reviews, we had to try them. Everybody liked their food, particularly the wet…read moreburrito.

    A Breakfast Buffet! Wow! I went back to the Big Boy in Cedar Springs after staying away for a long…read moretime, and guess what? It was way better this time. It felt like finding out Santa really DID bring you the good candy. The best part? They have a breakfast buffet. A real one! Those are super rare now, like spotting a reindeer in the wild. But Big Boy has it, and they keep it filled up with fresh food. The whole place looked cleaner too--nice floors, tidy tables, everything looking happy. On my first plate, I grabbed all the yummy classics: * Thick French toast with warm syrup (it tasted like a hug!) * A pancake with sweet cinnamon apples on top * Crispy bacon * Sausage links * Scrambled eggs The French toast was the star--golden and soft and perfect. The pancake was a little old, but the apples made it taste great anyway. The meats were tasty too, just not super hot. On my second plate, I went for the savory stuff: * Fried potatoes * More scrambled eggs * Polish sausage * More bacon and sausage * And then... SAUSAGE GRAVY ON TOP! (Yes, please!) The gravy was rich and peppery and made everything taste extra cozy. Some of the food was a little cool, though. And I saw a pan of cheesy hash browns that looked very burnt--like "left in the oven since last Christmas" burnt. The server was friendly and checked on me just enough--like a good elf who knows when you need more chocolate milk. All in all, this Big Boy is back to being a great place for a big, simple, happy breakfast. The buffet is fun, the place is cleaner, and the staff is kind. If they keep the food a little hotter and swap out old items faster, it'll be even better. If you love breakfast buffets, this one is worth a re-visit. Smiling's my favorite, and breakfast buffets might be my second favorite!

    Took 20 minutes for someone to come and ask us if we needed help…read more Helped the couple that came in and sat themselves down after us. My step daughter ordered a cup of soup and was told that she could just grab it from the salad bar. Could see workers grabbing sides from salad bar for customers with no glove, or one gloving Food was adequate. I'm a big tipper but I couldn't justify my normal 30%, so I left a normal 20% in cash. Ambiance was 2010s pop with a Roku that was playing old westerns that gave up halfway in between out meal and went to the Home Screen. Booths were well worn down and some were even duct tapped. Big boy is not known for being gourmet or even a nice place to eat, but definitely would not pass a health inspection. As someone who worked in the food service industry I was disappointed.

The Victuals: By Jove, the fare is a culinary cavalcade of comfort! Their burgers are a meaty marvel, the grilled cheese a gooey treasure, and the BLT a triumphant trio of bacon, lettuce, and tomato. The chicken tenders are nothing short of poultry perfection, and the shrimp baskets? A seafarer's delight! Let us not forget the "tater kegs" - a starchy bulwark against hunger, and the onion rings - a crispy coronet fit for any appetite. The Establishment: The bar is a bastion of libations, the waitstaff a brigade of benevolence. Management? Why, they're the very paragons of hospitality! And the patrons, a convivial congregation of camaraderie and cheer! The Revelry: On the eve of Thor's Day, one can partake in a raucous round of trivia with the illustrious Annette and Randy - veritable jesters of jest! And lo, on the second day of the week, Taco Tuesday reigns supreme, a fiesta of flavors unfurled! The Fellowship: Fear not, gentle traveler, for membership is but a key to the spirits' keep. All are welcome to dine and delight in the festivities, no secret handshake required. In sum, the Glen Hill Post 287 American Legion is a beacon of bliss, a tavern of good taste, and a haven of high spirits. Huzzah! *The menu contains several unlisted items, these are just a few of my favorites.
