    The year was 1936 when a young man named Bob Wian founded his innovative hamburger restaurant. Designed to serve as a meat up and a meeting place. The meat up concept inspired the first double decker hamburger. Extra bun pun intended for the 2 pattie burger made with 3 slices of bread. A franchise that expanded the image of a proud standing boy in overalls as a legacy in American pop culture. An image you will encounter along any road trip today. Whether it be a restaurant. A shop of nostalgic toys and tee shirts. A postcard inside a travel center gas station. A poster board of fun facts, within a place of Oddities. Even on a American antique roadshow event. There is a special type of connection about finding Bob. In all the right places in time.

    Dear Bob's Big Boy, Thanks for keeping my childhood on the menu. The Big Boy Burger still stacks up -- literally -- and The statue out front still grins like he knows all my secrets. The booths are somehow smaller now, or maybe I'm just taller. Either way, that statue of you holding a burger still makes me smile like I'm 7 with a milkshake mustache.

    My husband has been wanting to stop at Bob's Big Boy for a long time, so we finally pulled the trigger. Walking into the restaurant, I was reminded of days gone by. The ambiance was just what I needed. The big question for me was whether it would still be as good as I remembered from our high school ditch days. The answer was an astounding YES! Our waitress, Michelle, was kind and accommodating. The fries were hot and crispy, and my burger was perfectly cooked. I could only finish half, but to be fair, I ate most of the fries. My only real complaint is the $6 upcharge for the onion rings my husband substituted for his fries. But they were worth it. Would I go back? Absolutely YES. You can't beat a nostalgic meal like this!

    Side salad

    We hadn't been to a Bob's Big Boy in many years. Today we went with family and had a wonderful experience. We all had the "Famous Chili Size". It is a garlic bread, topped with a hamburger patty and covered with chili and cheese. It comes with another side of garlic toast which was very good. Then, you also get another side choice. The choices range from salads, french fries and a few other choices. I was pleasantly surprised that it was pretty tasty. Everything was hot and came out pretty quickly. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. All staff we encountered were friendly. The main reason for the 5 stars was the service. Our server, Dakota was excellent. Fast friendly service, helpful with questions I had about the food. He checked on us multiple times to see if we needed anything.

    The food is good. If you had Bobs big boy you know you have to have the chile spaghetti and the hot fudge cake. The service was good and the place is big.

    Southern Omelette with sliced tomatoes and fresh fruit

    Nostalgic settings at Nob's Big Boy. They have a large dining room with large booths and a few tables available in the front. I was promptly greeted by Michelle who seem to be running a one man show as the hostess, server and cashier with a genuinely cheerful smile. The southern omelette was very fluffy but a little scarce on the sausage and hash brown filling but was fresh and still tasty. It's a bit pricey but I would gladly pay extra because of the great service from Michelle. She is definitely the 5 star at Bobs Big Boy.

    Service was amazing. Thank you Kayoko! I read some negatives and wasn't expecting to stop by- but that combo plate was calling my name!! Place was packed - customer was eating alone- asked if I wanted to share a table- sure I will and I'm buying!! Great conversation and Norco folks are just friendly!! The combo plate and strawberry shake was delicious- wanted the hot fudge cake - but a guy needs to know his limitations!!

    It's been awhile since I've been here. Decided to meet a business associate here for breakfast. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We ended up ordering breakfast omelets with a side of baskets gravy and hash browns.

    This is not the big boy that I remember the hamburger was just OK but the side salad was good. The service was excellent. The decor was excellent the prices I felt we're high for what you got. This owner has a lot of big boy statues, including one on top of the building. I like the western look to big boy and inside this place they do have ice cream shakes and pies if you want a big boy shirt they have a good selection and as I said before service was excellent.

    I hadn't been to Bobs big boy in a long time. The menus changed the food was great and the customer service was excellent. We ordered the Bob's big boy cheeseburger with bacon combo and chicken fried steak that came with hashbrowns, eggs, and biscuit with gravy. which was all to our liking. The interior is big with plenty of tables and booths to enjoy your mail. They also have outdoor dining. I won't staying away for so long. We'll be back soon.

    Great nostalgic visit. Clean restaurant with great food selection. Staff is very warm and friendly. Blueberry pancakes were delicious. Can't wait to come back for patty melt, which is an all time favorite of mine. Located in beautiful Norco with plenty of parking and easy roadside access.

    So good, classic
    Lora M.

    We treat ourselves to the Classic restaurant I remember as a child growing up. Now we bring our grandchild. We always get the classic Big Boy Combo, so delicious as I remember as a kid. The Hot Fudge cake brings back memories too. My Grandson got the Banana split & my husband got a chocolate shake. Everything was fresh and delicious. Our waiter was amazing too, so nice a courteous I wish I remembered his name, but he gave us privacy, but always made sure we didn't need anything

    Classic Bob's Big boy combo
    Judi B.

    I can't give an unbiased review. I've loved Bob's Big Boy for 50 years and nothing has made me lose that obsession. Brought my Mom here (after 10 years) to visit the Norco location. It's the typical Bob's site with several Bob's statues and diner vibe inside. Luckily we had Michelle as our server who was a hilarious delight. Had the classic Bob's Big Boy Combo with salad. Salad with bleu cheese obviously. Salad was crispy fresh, with an abundance of cheese, croutons, tomatoes and chunks of cucumbers. It was a tad overdressed but their bleu cheese dressing is worth it. The burger came out fresh, hot and oozing with the best relish I've ever had. The bun was soft, burger patties were cooked to perfection, cheese was slightly melted, lettuce was abundant. Every bite is what I want my heaven to be. The fries were golden brown with deep fried outsides and soft middles, just like a good fry should be. Best part was dipping them in more decadent bleu cheese dressing!!!! As a surprise, we got a birthday hot fudge cake for my mom's birthday. This was soft and spongy, slathered in deep, rich hot fudge. The vanilla scoop wasn't the square pre-formed ice cream I remember, but was a nice complement and balanced the richness of the fudge. A perfect experience from start to finish, great seating, service, food and price!!!!

    Is the breakfast buffett still open?

    I don't think so, they have the buffet area in the restaurant, but it's not being used, not even a salad bar.

Of all my go-to dishes steak frites is probably the hardest to find a decent example for a reasonable price out in the wild. That's why I think Kenwoods is doing a real service of offering a fine example of one for the $25 price point. It was juicy; the chimmichuri, while not the classic bearnaise,sauce, still brought the flavors out in the steak; and the fries tied the whole dinner together like The Dude's rug. I would order this dish every time I come here. The service was great. All my substitutions and requests were handled promptly and courteously. And the server literally checked how I was doing every time she passed by. This is how all restaurants should train their staff. The space is great. It's got a nice energy to it. And although I usually hate bars and gastropubs because of how obnoxious the din can get, I didn't mind the noise here. I appreciated the open floor plan and the place has more TV's and screens to rival Mission Control. This is a good space to chill with friends and have a meal. All in all, this is a good find and a welcome addition to my rotation for when I'm feeling a hankering for steak frites.

For my entrées, I ordered the Rack of New Zealand Lamb and the 12-ounce Tajima Australian Wagyu Ribeye. Both were cooked to perfection and were delicious! I will say that this is definitely a little on the pricey side, especially since we weren't celebrating anything special, we simply came out for dinner.

I also tried their Fried Green Tomatoes Appetizer which was so good and a personal recommendation from my Coworker Bartender who raves endlessly about it.
