“OMG, the BEST food! My favorites are the burger and the pork chop sammy. Portions are huge-there's always enough to take some home. Prices are fair, service is cheerful and pleasant. Wish the space were bigger and had more tables. Big Bob's is one of my very favorites!”

“I recommend everything. It was so busy the morning that my friend and I went there that I did not expect to get good service from only two servers. The place was packed inside and out, and it was the best experience I have had eating out in years. The food was delicious. The service was beyond excellent. I don’t know how they did it, but those two ladies never lost their composure.for a second they were at every table met everyone’s needs. It was amazing.”

“Kim was such a pleasure to work with and was an excellent communicator during the tasting and planning stages. We really enjoyed her great customer service in answering all of our questions and personalizing the at-home tasting experience for us. We had so many questions about how to design the cakes and display them for our wedding guests and Kim did a great job giving us recommendations and guiding us throught he process. The day of delivery was seamless and we felt prepared for the big day, not having to worry about the cake. All of our guests were very pleased with the original cake flavors and declious baking. We are happy to have some leftovers to enjoy ourselves and can't wait to get birthday cakes and pies for birthday celebrations and holidays to come. Thank you Kim for making our day extra sweet!”

“The pastries are AMAZING. As good as or better than the best pastries I’ve had in Europe. Really wonderful.”

“We stopped in spontaneously for a weekday lunch. The atmosphere was calm and nicely decorated. The employees were attentive and kind. The food was pretty good with the exception of the pineapple slaw (served on top of white fish) which was fantastic. Also, not the kind of place I would expect to see a lot of young children, but they brought a basket of bristle blocks for my 4 year old. That might seem like a small, side note but it made all the difference in allowing us to enjoy our meal.”

“We just ordered 2 cheesesteak subs one on gluten free bread! And the other regular sub roll,They were outstanding! And the guy that took our order over the phone was so great! Thank you for a great sub and customer service from beginning to end!!!”

“The food is amazing and the staff is super friendly. It’s our favorite place to go when in the area. Always friendly and welcoming . If you leave hungry it’s your own fault . The cheese fries and garlic knots are sooooo amazing . Heck everything is good. They take pride in their food they serve .”

“The nachos are life changing and who woulda thought I'd ever crave a cactus taco??”

“This particular Waffle House is in a truck stop, it isn't too bad as far as that, they have all of the usual waffle house menu items and a few new ones that I hadn't seen before overall the food was good usual Waffle House fare. Over eggs medium were quite medium.
But the French toast, sausage and bacon was all pretty good. I think really the only complaint would be that every time we order biscuits and gravy they always come out cold, my daughters came out cold just like usual she just toughed it out and ate them as they were, service was very good very nice people and the food was very prompt as for cleanliness I would give it a B- only because the syrup was sticky as heck”

“Amazing food!! Birria Tacos, White Queso.. and a glass of Chardonnay!! ✨I highly recommend going and enjoying a meal in Hillsborough!!”

“The shrimp lo main was the best i ever had!!! fried rice was also the best i have had out of any Chinese restaurant 👍👍👍👍”

“Food and service are always great!”

“the amount of food 😋 the taste, and the veggie medley with sweet 🥕”

“No atmosphere but a rocking good crew of servers. It's a take out place.
I get the all beef combo German style with sauerkraut mustard and relish. Worth the money for a quick decadent lunch. Fries are always crispy enough.
Thanks folks!”

“The restaurant was clean and the employees were attentive and friendly. The only things that I did not like was that they do not have string beans like many of the other chains and I was unpleasantly surprised that the white sausage gravy that goes on biscuits is used as the gravy for the mashed potatoes instead of brown gravy?! Please change that.”

“The atmosphere doesn't do the food justice, though very clean looking.
Greek rice amazing. Had the Chicken Gyro Platter, good Suze portion, and Tzatziki sauce was out of sight.
Best kept secret in Hillsborough on personal opinion.

Parking: In front of restaurant, handicap parking available

Kid-friendliness: Kid menu available”

“To begin the staff was incredibly energetic and pleasant. The food was on point. Got a classic burger with fries, cheesesteak with fried pickles and fried onions. When needing a burger this will be my first thought.”

“This is the best Burger King I have ever been to. This location used to be really poor, but the current management team and employees are absolutely fantastic. They’re attentive, accurate, polite and kind. I’d post a picture but I ate the food to fast, it was so good!”
