Bob's Big Boy

So, I started this blog with one of my favorite childhood places, Bob's Big Boy. They are back in Orange County for the first time in years and plan on opening more units soon. The first Big Boy is in Orange, in the Stadium Promenade shopping center on Katella and Main.
So when I walk up to Big Boy and see Bob proudly holding up his hamburger namesake, it instantly transports me to my childhood years. During this visit, I will meet up with my girlfriend and parents before the Duck's opening night at the Honda Center. The place is packed, but the wait is less than five minutes. It is big, with many tables and plenty of wait and support staff.
So now on to the thing that has kept bringing people back to Big Boy for all these years, the food. I immediately knew what I was having for dinner: a Big Boy with fries and an extra Big Boy. I know there is a lot of food, but I have been looking forward to this, and the burger does not disappoint. The double-decker burger has two patties and a great combo of mayo and their famous red relish. A masterpiece on a bun! The burger is as good as I remember. The fries are average but are not meant to be the show's star.
For dessert a hot fudge cake to share, (Sorry no photo available). Kind of skimpy on the hot fudge, but still a great way to top off the nostalgic meal! The service was excellent, and we will definitely be back.

Grew up with Bob Big Boy and enjoyed this one. Glad to see the comeback. Everytning is the same except the salad that comes with the combo. The old salad was better, iceberg lettuce on a bed of iceberg lettuce covered in Bob'd blue cheese dressing. Of course the lettuce was always slightly wilted, but what the heck, it is Bob's.
