So, I'm not originally from this area. I'm from way down in the deep South. Never heard of a Big Boy in all my life. I noticed they're always busy around lunch time though, so I figured I'd give them a shot. I don't get the hype, lol. The fries are very bland and tough. I don't think I've ever had chewy french fries before this place. Went with a friend and we had mozzarella sticks to share. They were the best thing, but the marinara sauce tasted kind of sour, so we spat that out and tossed the rest. The burger was very, very mid. I asked for them to remove the middle bun because that's just too much bread, but after unwrapping it, you would have thought they smashed their fist down into it - it was flat in the center and the condiments were all running down the sides. The taste is kind of like a worse Burger King. Anyway, yeah. Probably won't be back. Could have been just a bad day for them, but this was not at all worth the calories and money.

Spent money on an order, got nothing delivered, service was rude extremely, nor did they refuse to refund. Phone response was even vile about responding. They even called back to try to berate me.

The burgers aren’t very good. Whatever brand of burger patties they use taste like processed filler. The chicken is OK nothing special. They do serve the small cut french fries which I really do like and their onion rings are good. Food is always hot but very average.

Ate here since a little kid. Always get nuggets, fries, and gravy. Sometimes frozen coke....gravy is a must have with fries imo.

Delicious! I ordered ahead and got a coney dog with mustard, onions, and pickles. I like salty fries but these were a little too salty for me so having a cup of gravy to dunk them in helped quite a bit. Overall, I would go back for a coney.

Big boy is always a must-stop for me when passing through. Their pizza burgers flying style, fries with gravy, and hot-n-tots are just to die for. Cholesterol be darned!
I had a really disappointing experience at Big Boy. The customer service was terrible — the lady taking my order was extremely rude and unprofessional. I was placing my order and was just about to add meals for my kids, but she cut me off before I was finished. I even had to ask if she was still on the line because it seemed like she was done with me, even though my order wasn’t complete.
It felt rushed and disrespectful, and it really ruined the experience. As a customer, I expect at least basic courtesy and patience, especially when ordering for a family. Unfortunately, this visit left me with a very negative impression.

Just like I remember from the late 70's. Very nostalgic eating there. When I ordered he said they were out of dark meat, but I could wait if I chose. By the time I got to the window, it was ready. The line looked daunting but was actually very quick. Will stop again next time I'm in Bismarck.

Glad to see one of the American tradition restaurants still going. Stop by and get a brown cow!
