Even though breakfast turned out OK here, the place felt a little old and neglected. We had the brekafast buffet which was quite reasonable at $4.99. Ordering breakfast from the menu seemed quite expensive compared to the buffet (a simple 2-egg breakfast was $6.99!). The bacon and sausage at the buffet was great and all you could eat. The eggs...

Great burger with great French fries!! Great service too. The burger tasted like REAL beef, unlike chain restaurants. Highly recommend this place for a wonderful meal while traveling through the desert area.

It's no longer a Bob's Big Boy, but the menu hasn't changed. Service was good. Burger was a little overcooked, but toppings were really fresh and tasty.

Big Boy restaurant Barstow is now "Bun Boy." I've had three meals here now. I have absolutely no complaints about the new Bun Boy. Food was good, restaurant was very clean, to include the rest rooms. Service was very good, prices are on par with other casual sit down restaurants. In my opinion the music was just wonderful (60s rock).... More

We stopped in at the Big Boy Restaurant in Barstow on our way to Lake Havasu. I hadn't had a Big Boy burger in years. I'm happy to say they are still very tasty! Mine came with lots of fries. The place is in a commercial area just off the freeway and a convenient lunch stop along I-15. It was... More

Its Bob's Big Boy, common now we all know Bob's it were we hung out as teens in the 60's. It has not changed much all though they did away with Pappy Parkers Fried Chicken and the red dressing for the salads.

My wife and I have visited this Bob's several times on the way back from Vegas and yet to see good service. Yesterday, we stopped in for lunch, two of about eight customers. We were seated promptly, but it took 20 minutes for the server to ask us what we wanted to drink and another 15 to take our order.... More

Have eaten here several times now. You just never know is service is going to be good - this time it was, former times it has been sub par. Milkshakes - well while my table mates loved their Stawberry and Banana ones - my Chocolate Peanut Butter one was SCARY - and it wasn't Halloween yet. Lumps of Peanut Butter... More

This was a lunch stop on the way to Las Vegas. My kids had never eaten at a Bob's, had never seen a giant "Bob", and did not even associate the delicious salad dressing we often buy with a real place. So we gave it a try when we saw it at a lunch stop. Same atmosphere I remembered from... More
