I’ve not had Bobs Big Boy for over 35 years, they closed the location near me and the Red Relish that went on the Big Boy burger has stuck with me. When I found there was one in Downey and were in Bellflower it was a no brainer. I had the Big Boy, son had the Best Cheeseburger on the Planet, wife had the House Salad, Chicken with mashed potatoes and veggies. The place took me back to when I was young, server was outstanding, great food and my son said he didn’t know if it was the best on the planet but his cheeseburger was the best he’d had ever. Told him the Red Relish is the best pairing ever with American Cheese and meat and is what memories are made of. Super cool inside and staff is friendly and quick to make your visit the best. If you’ve never tried the Red Relish then do yourself a solid and order the Bobs Big Boy Burger and if your super hungry, order the four paddy one. Enjoy the pics! Plenty of handicap parking as well.
We love having to drive to Downey because there is a Bob's Big Boy there, and there are so few left in Southern California. It is always great.They make the best burgers, 2 burgers with a bun in between, topped with whatever you want. They are always made to order and they are just so wonderful.They have a full menu and you can get all of your meals there and everything is good. It is an old time diner, this one is very large.The food is just so good. They have a chili pasta dish, that my grandson goes nuts for. It comes with garlic bread and a side. They have dinner items that are all tasty.Their breakfast is excellent. We love their pancakes.This Bob's is just spotless, all the time. I see at least one person cleaning the entire time we are there. The place is big and older, but they really keep on it. The kitchen is super clean as well and the bathrooms are well maintained.The service is so friendly. They get to you straight away and are so helpful.The last time we were there we were the only ones there. So, go and give them a try. They need the business. This Pandemic has really hurt them and it is a large place so expensive to keep up.Parking is free in their huge lot and look out for the cool 50's cars that are sometimes there.
We went to Bob's Big Boy at the Downey, California location.As usual, the Big Boy Combination Plate was fantastic and delicious. Crispy, crunchy salad was scrummy yummy with their Original Big Boy Bleu Cheese dressing.And, the burgers were piping hot and flavorful, gotta love that original Big Boy red relish dressing in the burger!Mmmm...the memories and nostalgia hit hard, of when I was a kid, we would hit the Lakewood, Brea, and Hesperia locations on special occasions and I would always order the Big Boy Combination Plate!
Today before going home to Houston I stopped at a place I remember going to with friends on a Friday night back in 1985 Johnnie's Broiler as it was known then and Now it's Bob's Big Boy in Downey, Ca. Went inside, ordered a Coke & a Big Boy Burger with fries. They even have the original sign bolted to the floor. This place brought back a lot of memories from Good times with friends that sadly are no longer with us. I will be back on my next visit!?????
The service is always good ? and the restaurant is always clean and the music is the best
great food good prices yummy
Food was good and staff was friendly. Atmosphere was nostalgic for 50s dinner and music. Only thing missing was the Big Boy out front. Seats were comfortable and roomy tables. Family and kid friendly. Definitely go again to try other dishes.
I loved the fries and the Big Boy Hamburger was juicy... I also enjoyed the coffee... The only thing is that ladies took too long to take my order... For that reason I had to ask the receptionist to take my order since I was never appoached by the waitresses. I was starving and seating right at front by the entrance. I might still go again this year after this anyway. Thanks for the opportunity to see my comment. ✌??
Just like the old days. Great food, Jose was awesome as our server.Had the large Bob's big boy and couldn't have been better. Stop by, its got Burgers and Sandwiches to breakfast and deserts. Lots of seating and an old historic restaurant.
great serving staff and hosts were fast and set us right away great food and fun memories
