Not really a review but just a fun fact: The original cast of the Power Rangers: Austin St John, David Yost, Amy Jo, Thuy and Walter all came to this exact restaurant in the 90s when they were filming the Power Rangers.

Always a #1 spot 😄 for the best steak and eggs, Penny our waitress has been there only 22 years, landmark in LA.

I can gush to you for days about this absolute landmark of a place. All of the different kinds of people that come here are so interesting and the people of Toluca Lake(and beyond) have been coming here for a long time. This last time I went I had the sweetest waitress (shout out Ella) and had a big ice cream Sunday with fries. That’s a good evening to me!

My son and I were visiting Burbank for a Walt Disney Studios tour. We stayed at a fantastic little motel - a mere 5-10 minute walk from Bob's Big Boy called The Tangerine (both of us would definitely recommend staying there). We drove in from San Diego on a Sunday and didn't get in until 8:00pm... being a kid from the 1970's and fondly remembering our town's Bob's Big Boy - having the opportunity to take my kid to this ORIGINAL location was fabulous. So at 8:30pm on a Sunday - we were greeted by Bob's statue - appropriately adorned with a Dodgers jersey celebrating their World Series win! We strolled into the lobby - only to be met with a 25 minute wait list! The place was hopping! Every booth was full, every counter stool taken. The energy was great, and the memorabilia on the walls of the movies filmed on location there were a great way to pass the time! If you do go - it's worth looking up the history of the place. Lots to learn and appreciate about the architecture, big neon sign, how it's evolved over time - and what has remained the same. Once seated we were lucky to get a fantastic wait staff. She was energetic, efficient and so pleasant. The menu is definitely "diner-style" with an LA/CA bent. The portions are large and very tasty. Most items you order come with a "side salad" to start, and when they showed up - I was shocked. The salads were BIG. We could have easily split one. I ordered their veggie melt - and it was very, very good. My son, went with the good 'ol cheeseburger, which as a picky eater - he enjoyed! The milkshakes are also tasty. As a side note - we did witness and smell an order of their fried chicken go by... if it tastes as good as it looked and smelled - I would order that next time. We were told that folks order it "to-go" often, especially for tailgating! What really surprised me was the amount of the check. All in (entrees, drinks, milkshakes AND a slice of cheesecake to-go) cost us a grand total of $50.00. I don't know if that sounds like a lot or a deal to you the reader, but for me, I found it an extremely good value for what we all got. Especially nowadays when going thru a fast food drive thru can easily set you back $20.00. Finally, I encourage folks to check out their kitschy gift area. Not only do you find the standard Big Boy memorabilia - but also a few selections of delicious deserts to-go - should you want to take one home and have with a coffee or a tea. When in the area - we will most definitely eat here again. Thank you Bob's Big Boy!
Went to Bob's for the first time in almost 40 years, and although Nadia our waitress was WONDERFUL, the food was less than stellar and nothing like I remember. The burger LOOKED great, but it tasted mediocre and like cheap meat. The coke slaw was absolutely BLAND. No reason to ever go back....
