"This local establishment has been doing business in the same location for 62 years. There is a reason for their longevity: they do things the right way. The menu is sufficient enough to offer something for everyone. The restaurant is clean, if not real upscale and trendy. The washrooms are immaculate. The glass at the entry isn 't covered in hand prints all the time because it is being cleaned as necessary. There are TV 's so that you can watch as you dine if interested. My wife and I have lived in the immediate area for 15 years and Booby 's is a frequent choice for us. We have enjoyed a majority of their menu options over the years and while all good I do have some favorites. The onion rings are to die for. The cheese fries are fabulous. I love their soup. Their milk shakes, especially strawberry, are wonderfully tasty without being overly sweet and artificial tasting. Gyros, Fajitas, BLT, Corned Beef, Chicken Parmigiana sandwich... all really delicious. And then there are the burgers. They 're big and charbroiled, juicy and perfectly cooked. I love the BigC as burgers are probably my all time favorite food. I 'd rather enjoy ONE of these treats every week or two than a fast food burger daily. I ask for condiments and tomato/pickles on the side so that I can control how much of it goes on the burger. I love the type of pickles they use as opposed to the standard hamburger pickles, and the tomatoes are always really nice. You just can 't go wrong here. Highly recommended!"

"Some places are gourmet and hip. This place is not. But don't let that dissuade you from coming. In fact, on a recent Saturday night, the parking lot was nearly full when we arrived at 7:15. (Dinner before 7 is prime dinner hour here . The place is not full of twenty-something's. It's a rather older crowd. But they know what they are getting here and, like me, are more than happy about it. We got a table; paper covering the table. Which is good because you can get kinda messy. Service was terrific. We had a very attentive server who met every need and filled every water glass (multiple times, yay! . We started with escargot and mozzarella sticks. The sticks are more like logs and I worried if it wouldn't be warm in the middle. I should've have worried. These were legit mozzarella sticks with lots of flavor and gooey cheese. The marinara sauce is solid without being too spicy or garlicky. We then got the house salad. Never disappoints. Big portion, fresh ingredients and great dressings. For main courses, my dining companions really enjoyed their lobster rolls and their scallops with fries. That's probably the way to go. Never been disappointed with their fried fish. I ended up getting an Alaskan cod topped with mushroom. It wasn't my favorite fish meal of the year but it's solid and it's more that I wanted something a little more substantial. The mixed vegetables that I got with it were well seasoned and cooked just right. Desserts were a big hit too. The triple chocolate mousse was too good to pass up but the lemon cake was also a bit hit too. Overall, every time we come here we are happy with our meal. Reasonable prices, good service. A lot of other restaurants could learn a lot from a place like this. It may never win awards or draw the cool crowd. But it has a good following and those who know, go."
