Stopped just to get a gift card. Although right before closing, the staff was very nice and helped me right away.

This is usually a good restaurant when I order in person. My door dash driver informed me that she could not get my order due to a large turkey at the door harassing the customers so my order was canceled. I did not believe it until I went up there myself and seen the workers feeding it bread. A few more customers drove off due to the turkey walking up to their doors. They should feed him from out the back door.

It was quiet, the staff wore genuine smiles, and even though they forgot my salad, it was waiting for me with a positive attitude and an honest young lady apologized. I will definitely go back, and eat in

I have been eating Slim Jims since I was 12 years old. I picked one up today 11/20/25. It tasted sour not good. They have gone down hill in food. So now I have to get a true Slim Jim on Ford Rd.

I googled the reviews for this location before agreeing to come here because Big Boy in general has really fallen off in the last ten years, even pre-Covid when they started shrinking their menu... anyway, I can see why some of the reviews are the way they are - if you're expecting classic Big Boy experiences, this is NOT that, and never will be. It clearly favours take-out service (weird, but alright), and the retrofitting of the building definitely changes the vibes. (It's two building suites turned into one, in a 'plaza' of a Starbucks that would normally come with a Qdoba and Panda Express (seriously, what is up with that??), except instead of the Qdoba block and Panda Express block, it's just one Big Boy with a sliding wall between the two blocks inside!). So the vibes were off, architecturally. Womp womp.
The service wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything to write home about. Don't go to be friends with the waitstaff - they're not mean(!), they're just there to run your food and run your check. And that's fine for me (as long as I don't have to flag you down for drink refills, lol)!
It seemed more like a non-descrip a-little-run-down Coney Island than it did a Big Boy, which was disappointing, but not the worst. I'd still probably go back, but I wish things didn't cost so much! If the cost reflected everything else about the place, it'd be fine - but I'm definitely paying more than that food is worth, lol.

My niece and I grabbed lunch, and the server and manager, those two awesome plus-size Black queens , were super friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and hot, and we didn't have to wait long. The only thing was, the floor by the bread near the kitchen entrance was kinda gross, and some buns fell. It's right there in plain sight, so they should clean it up, but other than that, it was a good experience.
