    Southern Omelette with sliced tomatoes and fresh fruit
    Glenn J.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Nostalgia through and through. Breakfast and lunch available. Huge portions and great service. Decor inside is classic red and white. Fantastic selection of desserts, breakfast, lunch & dinner items. A great place to stop in for a quick bite and some great memories

    So good, classic

    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!!!!

    Had an excellent meal at Big Boy. The restaurant was really clean and spacious. The waitress was really nice and friendly. The food was hot and fresh and oh so tasty.

    Mozzarella Sticks
    Gavin N.

    Went to Bob's Big Boy for the first time the other week and I gotta say, this place has got to have the best burger I've ever had. When we first sat down we got to order pretty quickly, everyone there was quick and very kind! The first thing that came out was the Mozzarella Sticks and I can't lie these didn't quite taste as good as I thought, I never had bad mozzarella sticks but this one lacked a lot of cheese within the actually stick. So most of it was breading. The second thing I ordered was the Big Irish burger and that has got to be the r best burger ever, Im never really a big fan of restaurant burgers or even diner burgers but this one has changed my opinion further more, the perfect saucing, with the bun as well as the grilled patty was incredible! The ambience of this establishment also felt cozy, bringing back times I used to eat as a kid with Ruby's Diner so it was nice to see that touch with the establishment!

    Classic hot fudge ice cream cake  Well half of it

    Our waiter Dakota was amazing. He was attentive and helpful and kept coming back to check on us but not too often. Will return because of him. Food good too

    Went down nostalgic lane when visiting Bob's Big Boy in North Corona aka Norco. Location is right off the freeway in a strip center tha thas plenty of parking . Food was delicious, just look at my pictures. I don't think I finished everything, but everything was sooooo good. Been a long time since I had chili spaghetti but I was not disappointed. The Big Boy was great and their special sauce does the trick, nirvana. The service was friendly, quick and supplied a good laugh to bond our relationship. The decor inside is updated but still has the old school feel of what I grew up with. Stop in if your new, come revisit if you have been here before. Everyone's visit is different but mine was 5 star. Tell them Kris w/a K sent you.

    Veggie burger with fries
    Christina C.

    Iconic restaurant in Norco, we had to stop and try it. Friendly staff. Ambiance is a diner vibe, clean and decent. The food was average. The chocolate cake sundae was underwhelming. My veggie burger was ok. My daughter loved her Oreo milk shake. Prices are on the high side. I was expecting more, more flavor, I overhyped myself about coming here.

    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.

The burger bowl itself has very limited sauce options, which made it dry and lacking flavor. We also ordered a burger with tots and an order of fries. While waiting, I grabbed a Dr Pepper from the soda fountain and it was clearly out of syrup. Nothing like paying for a drink that tastes like watered-down carbonated disappointment. The biggest issue was the service. We waited and waited for our food, but our number was never called. Meanwhile, we watched multiple customers who ordered after us receive their food. When we finally went to the counter to ask about our order, we were told that someone else had picked it up. Sorry, but I don't buy that explanation. Our number was never called, and this location is small with only a handful of people dining inside. We absolutely would have noticed if someone had walked off with our order--and so should the staff. It felt more like our order was forgotten or skipped altogether. After bringing it to their attention, they finally made and brought out our food. Unfortunately, the food wasn't worth the wait. The quality was noticeably below other Freddy's locations I've visited, and everything just felt underwhelming. Between the dry burger bowl, bad soda, long wait, and poor handling of our order, this visit missed the mark.

Honestly, from service to portion to food Quality, across the board everything was fantastic. Prices are fairly standard nothing exorbitant. The portions are great. I ordered the fried calamari which might've been the most tender and fresh calamari I think I've ever tasted. My wife had the Caprese salad, which was really fresh and well done. For the main meal, I had crab stuffed ravioli, and my wife had the steak beef bowl, which was enormous and could easily be shared with two people. The ravioli was excellent. The sauce was excellent. The flavor and the subtle sweetness of the crab shined through. My wife's steak bowl was also amazing. The steak was melt in your mouth tender. A very subtle heat in the seasoning from red chili, I believe. Chefs kiss. Our server was amazing and I feel horrible for not remembering her name, the woman who was working the front area was helpful and knowledgeable and just very welcoming. A special bonus was the old school 50s and 60s music. My mom would have loved it. This place is a definite guarantee for anyone who enjoys great quality food. We will be there again. I would've taken pictures of the food, but I am an absolute glutton and finished it...lol

Pull out of the drive-thru, and parked down the street so I can get into this colossal thing. I pull it out of the bag and BAM!! oil just starts spewing from the bottom like they forgot the drain plug!!. It leaked all over me, my center counsel, seats, all over!! Good thing I was wearing casual clothes and nowhere to really be. I get that it's grilled in oil but how is it possible for that much oil to come out?? I mean ALOT!! I didn't know if I should eat it, or take it to Jiffy Lube. But I ate half of it and chose not to get down to the oil pan part, which was disappointing because it was actually good. Be careful if you order this if you're wearing something nice. I never had one do this before. Four stars because BB is usually better than this. Just want to share my review. Ask for extra napkins.

I do get it with a lettuce wrap instead of a bun so it's high protein and keto friendly but the best thing that they have is honestly their french fries which are always piping hot. And I usually get a side of ranch to dip them in instead of using ketchup however they do have Pepsi and diet Pepsi instead of Coke or Diet Coke and I'm not a Pepsi fan. I'm a Diet Coke fan so if that's a dealbreaker for you then I wouldn't get the meal. I would just get the fries and the burger. The best time to come is around 11 in the morning or around 2:30 to 3 o'clock otherwise the line could get seriously long if you're doing the drive-through and if you're going inside during prime hours, you might get a little bit stock because the drive-through will temporarily block you from getting out so it takes a few extra minutes to leave so I highly recommend doing the drive-through or having more than enough time to be able to eat inside. The staff are always friendly and you can see how they hustle so I never feel annoyed and they've only ever gotten my order wrong once unfortunately they never answered the phone and it was a drive-through order so there was that one downside but otherwise all of my orders have been super hot and fresh and correct.
