Big Boy 660 U.S. 131, Kalkaska, MI 49646

"I used to love Big Boy. I worked as a waitress many years ago and ours was manager run very well. Food was cooked and served to please the customers. Now, I have gone to 2 Big boy locations in Gaylord and Kalkaska and I am in awe of the food that comes out. The chicken was so terrible looking and I wish I took a photo. 3 of 4 meals was tinged black. The manager was apparently the cook also and said the chicken looked perfect. She couldn't take criticism of her own cooking. The tomato slices were horrible looking. Pale and spongy. That should never be sent out to the customer. Ever! It's sad to see how the care has gone out of preparing good food these days. These places have very poor management."

"I always go for the breakfast buffet. I love the biscuit and gravy.! Eggs are kinda dry usually and never refill them very often. Not alot to the buffet but I think it's worth it."

"Great breakfast buffet! Good food, not great service, good value. It was a very busy Saturday noon and there was a wait. Some regulars got seated before the small crowd forming in the front pay area. No excuse for that. Once seated, the waitress was ok. Took a long time for our drinks, almost finished our first buffet plate before the drinks came. The breakfast buffet was very good. Plenty of options and it was kept well stocked with fresh food. We all ate our fill and left happy. 8-20-22"

"Our party of six stopped in here on Easter Sunday as it was one of the few places open. All of the staff members we interacted with were great and did an excellent job. Several people in our group had never been to a Big Boy before and were really surprised at the wide variety of options on the menu. Everyone found something to their liking and all of the food was great. In the current times, with the overall experience of eating out being less than great, it was nice to enjoy a meal in a restaurant again!"
