We have been a couple times now and love it. It's what you would expect from an old school, small Town diner. Great food, great service, homey feel ! The owner is great and so nice to the kids, the server we had twice is great and her kid is the bus boy who is nice and polite. They have classic diner foods that don't disappoint ! read more

Excellent home cooking. The service is always great and the atmosphere relaxed. The food is always delicious, definitely a go to when you want some real comfort food. read more

The service was good but we picked a busy weekend. The food was good and the pancake was enormous. Only order 1, you won't eat all of it. We will be back. read more

Once again I had the opportunity to have a great lunch in the Big Rig. As usual the specials were excellent. I ordered the fried fish with rutabaga and greens. My wife enjoyed meat loaf with a house salad and mashed potatoes and green beans. Everything was perfectly prepared and delicious. The Rig is open 24 hours a day and decorated with a 1960s posters and photos. Each time I visit I enjoy the Deep South atmosphere and food. Grits, greens, fried chicken, gizzards and corn bread is on the menu. Check it out! read more

The Big Rig 2 - Fried Shrimp, Onion Rings, Corn Bread & Cole Slaw - Diners Near Me - Deland, Florida

Good food and friendly staff! Coming from NJ and missing "diner" food, this was a great find.

Got a take out for two. Fried pork sandwich w/ fries. Amazing sandwich. The pork was as big as their pancakes. Made two sandwiched of meat. Fell apart I asked the young lady if she could bring it to my car... she respectfully did .,I'll go back Was my first time there . read more

This place is very small and could use a new ceiling. It looks like it's been here for years! The food is good service is good. The prices are ok. The cornbread is the best around!! I have only been here twice and I would definitely come back. Don't look at the ceiling tho it's disgusting. read more

Breakfast was always good although portions are huge for a guy like me. The pancake is absurdly huge and a turnoff when I just am in the mood for a short stack. Still the cooking is great overall but lately theyve been allowing dogs in the restaurant and I dont mean service animals. I mean loud yapping dogs that are an annoyance. I also am sensitive to fur so I find it rude that this is even allowed. There is plenty of outdoor seating and other pet owners use it which is fine. I just dont feel like going back if this persists. Even the waitresses I asked about said they arent allower to question it. read more

If you're looking for good diner food with excellent service this is the spot! We ordered Eggs and Sausage w a pancake which spilled over the entire plate it came on! I got the fried pollock w grits and Biscuit and gravy ( have to at a diner, people). Crispy fish and fluffy biscuit with creamy gravy. Comfort food at its finest. read more

Loved the pork tenderloin with gravy collard greens and real mashed potato. The pork was very salty so next time I'll ask for no extra salt. Forty-five-minute drive and it was well worth it. we will be back soon! read more

Everything was wrong. I had hair in my food. Ate there once never again. Service was slow and crappy. Took forever to even tell someone there was hair in my food. Looks run down. Needs updates & to be cleaned better. read more

My kind of place. Nothing fancy. Down home food. Service is good and servers are nice.

It was a strange weather day, while I was on the road, craving some comfort food like a decent Patty Melt. Not a small town interpretation, but the REAL DEAL: rye bread, Swiss, grilled onions and a nice, fresh beef patty. This place has a following for at least a 60 mile radius because they CAN cook! They offer amazing breakfast specials: recommend the scratch biscuits + pancakes! Great fish sandwich, hot wings and of course an AWESOME Patty Melt! Delicious. Sadly the soup of the day was cream of spinach! (I'm sure they were expecting a home run with the grandkids.) But nice to know a place that serves homemade soups in the area! They also offer extensive sides + breads (including fresh veggies served Old School like Nan's!) Yum! read more

Saturday morning kinda busy. But seats available. Still took awhile for water or greeting. Food was ok except for hair in my easy over eggs. Also dirty in general. They remade the eggs but eww. Thought this place was a classic. Skip it Over priced to boot read more

The place is a small cute mom and pop type restaurant. The food was delicious and the food portions were not small. The service was good. In the time frame we were there the restaurant remained busy. read more

Not sure how I feel about this place. Just another diner. Pretty good breakfast menu. Everything I had was good. Scrambled eggs and steak hash. I need to try more and there is so much to try. Could be a 4 star, but the waitress was super crabby the day I went. I'll probably go back in a few months. read more

You are immediately greeted with if smiles and a friendly hello. This is our second visit to this little gem we found. Service is outstanding, food is fresh and delicious!! 10/2/16. This is our 4th visit. Brenda and all the girls are GREAT!! Brenda really makes you feel like they are making breakfast just for you. The food is AWESOME and always fresh! Huge portions too. Today I had the 20 shrimp roll. I passed on the fries that come with it and had green beans instead. I could not finish it and I didn't touch the roll. The shrimp were Medium size, big enough to taste the shrimp and the breading was not greasy or overpowering. We are so happy we found this place!! Come on down and try it out!! read more

This little place may not look like much, but it sure is good. Breakfast here was yummy, and the service was quick and drinks were refilled quickly. The waitresses were friendly and the prices were reasonable (steak and egg special with toast, potatoes, etc was $8.99). read more

Great food, enormous portions, friendly and fast service. Been eating there for years. Highly Recommend AAAA++++++

This place is right near stetson and it's open 24 hours. Think of it as another waffle house. The food was good and they serve you a lot but I still find that the prices are too high. For a waffle house so food, you expect cheaper prices. At the end of the day this isn't a gourmet restaurant, but other than that it's a good 3 AM munchy spot! read more

It was kind of dirty and the service sucked. My mom's iced tea was old and it was like pulling teeth to get anything from the waitress. The BLT was ok, but skimpy for the price. Also, there was 'Trump' propaganda on the wall, but we'd already eaten before I notice, or we would've left. I won't give a dime to a Trump supporter or a business that contributes anti LGBTQ+ groups, like Chikfila for example. read more

friday night , 7:00m not super crowded . I'm in my classic car with wife and dog . we wanted to eat outside at one of their many outdoor tables. normally it's an ok lace but tonite I have to over watch the hot rod as it's part of the family like my dog Teddy. They don't or won't serve outdoors. it's not that busy, 3 waitresses. won't come here again and they are lucky I'm old now bc back in the day . Burnt rubber and Chaos and mayhem .

This gem of a find is a wonderful spot. Home cooking and wonderful staff. Even though they were short handed for the holiday, the staff was attentive and the food served perfectly. I had the steak tips that were tender and tasty. The fried catfish was also perfectly fried and fresh. Would definitely recommend for breakfast or lunch! read more

Went here on Christmas Day, happy to find a restaurant open after our Christmas plans changed. They offered a Christmas special or you could order off of the regular menu. The service was excellent with regular check-ups and a smile by our server, and the food was good ole' country home cooking that tasted dandy! We just bought a house in DT DeLand so we will definitely be frequenting Big Rig 2 more often. Loved it! read more

We spent the night in Orange City the night before, so the next morning we were looking for a new breakfast spot to try. From the reviews, we got the impression this was a popular spot for locals. Upon walking in, it gives off the ambiance of a Waffle House. Definitely more cafeteria-ish than homey. I felt very unsure about staying, but I squelched my misgivings due to the great reviews I'd seen. My husband got the smoked sausage and eggs, and I got the steak hash with eggs. My husband really liked his sausage, so he let me taste it, and I'd agree it was quite good. Honestly, I don't know what all the fanfare is about the steak hash, because I really didn't care for it. Also, the coffee was the worst i believe we've ever had, and neither of us could drink it at all. The iced tea wasn't much better. If they had better drinks and better ambiance, I could give the place four stars based on my husband's breakfast, but since my breakfast also only merited three stars, that's what I'm going to have to go with. read more

We were traveling from the keys on Thanksgiving. We had the Turkey (real roasted, carved) with stuffing, mashed, veggies, pie, the works! Unbelievably good! So thankful you were open. Sorry you girls had to work but you gave us all a gift to remember! read more

If you follow me you know I love diners! This one is no exception! How I've missed it all these years I have no idea! We were greeted promptly with a smile. My husband and I split the basic two egg breakfast as we were on the motorcycle and didn't want leftovers.....plates so generous.....we still had left overs! The food was fresh and quite tasty and we'll definitely be stopping here again! read more

The Big Rig... this spot was special. I was visiting my mom and helping her move so naturally, she was a bit stressed out. She wanted breakfast so I looked around the Deland area for good breakfast and stumbled on the Big Rig since they are open 24/7 and we wanted good homemade type of breakfast. I'm so glad we decided to stop by because their service was amazing and their food was just as good. My mom got some eggs and ham with some toast and hash browns, which she loved. I got their country steak with gravy, fried eggs and hash browns and I asked for a biscuit. Their biscuit is OK, nothing special... but everything else was amazing. The eggs were perfectly made and went well with my hash browns. My server said their country fried steak was very tender and she was not lying, the most tender and tasty I've had. If you're looking for breakfast in the Deland area give them a try!! Quit going to these national chains and give the folks at the big rig a try!! By the way, our server was the best.... she smiled and laughed with us all throughout, it was great!!! -Roli Eats read more

Is this a 5 star restaurant? Of course not. Is it a 5 star community breakfast place? More like a 10 star. Pleasantly greeted when we entered. Beverages brought on the double by one of the most pleasant waitresses ever. Specials explained, questions answered, orders placed. Out came the food - super hot, exactly as ordered. Beef tips, eggs, home fries and raisin toast. Meat was deliciously tender. Amazing how hard it is to get a perfectly cooked breakfast - this place does it right. If we lived in DeLand it would be our go to breakfast place. We don't, but we'll DEFINITELY be back. If you do and haven't been - shame on you! read more

The corn bread. Like whoa. Yelp does it again! This place isn't much to look at, but the corn bread, ginormous pancakes, and grilled chix made up for it. Great stuff. Came here with 8 family members on a late Thursday night after driving 14 hours (me not them). They were all skeptical but then the food came and made us all believers. Pancakes the size of a bicycle rim for reals read more
