We were greated at the door and seated promptly. It took a long, long time for someone to take our order. Then it took 40 min to get one French Dip Sandwich. No one ever gave us a bill. I kindly asked the hostess for a take out box. She told me.she was too busy getting tables ready and would give me a box later. There was no one waiting for a seat... She had boxes right at her finger tips and walked past me 5 or 6 times. I went up to pay. No one was at the register. I picked up my own take out box and left the appropriate money plus a tip for our server. The food was good. The wait time and hostess was very poor.

Hands down best breakfast spot in Arcata. It does not matter how busy they are, the service is always on point. The food is always fantastic especially the Karen's potatoes. Place is a little snug but adds to the overall laidback ambiance of the restaurant. Big Blue is always the right choice when it comes to breakfast in Arcata.

Big blue is super unrated. Huge portions inexpensive and good quality food. Great location right on the plazza. The Benedict is served with a massive portion of potatoes and their huavos rancheros never fails to satisfy.
Great little Cafe, with great service and food.Ordered the two egg breakfast with bacon, country fried steak, and Karen's potatos.Service was quick and very kind. Overall, it was great and clean.Would recommend stopping by for a good cup of coffee and a meal.
