"The reviews on this Big Boy seem to be barbelled between love and hate. The loves understand that it 's a Big Boy and not Chez Money in Bham. The hates seem to , well not like anything. Like the review that didn 't like the clamp shouter! . Thanks Einstein. When in Rome as the saying goes, do as the Roman 's do. Well when in Big Boy do as the Big Boyans ? do. Don 't expect a cheap gourmet lunch. Go in knowing that this is going to be old school hearty fare and you 'll be fine. I am of the latter group and ordered a Big Boy, fries and an iced tea with the salad and soup bar. Hey I had a gift card! . I was torn between the best cheese burger in the world the name of which they have somehow trademarked and the Big Boy but I went with the original. As for scouring the world for other cheeseburgers to compare, while appealing, seemed out of the question. I started with the salad bar which was great with, wait for it...iceberg lettuce that was fresh and crispy and all of the other faves. The soup s had to wait for another visit so I 'll withhold judgement. My burger and fries arrived in good time and was fantastic. The Big Boy is basically what McDonalds ripped off for the Big Mac. Two patties, sauce, lettuce, pickles, you get the drift. The fries could have been in a bit more...hello 5th star, but were fine. Iced teas were brought in quick succession and were fresh with a nice wedge of lemon. They had some great looking deserts but that 's for next time. All in a great if a bit pricey lunch. But hey everything is pricey these days. So put on your retro hat and your big boy pants and step back in time for a great lunch at an iconic restaurant. And you 're really shopping local because the chain in headquartered in Warren! Big boy, oh boy...Go!"
