Who's ready to see this building gone!? We're tearing it down to make more parking! That's a game changer for us. More parking means easier access to our building, which lets us host big events! We're thinking a name change and better signage. Let's face it, half of Battle Creek thinks we are just hot dogs and although we love hot dogs... we're so much more than that.

Bigger and better things coming our way. As always thanks for all the love and support. We'd appreciate if you'd help spread the word.

Are we shutting down? Pssshhh. Hell no! We're expanding! 🥳🥳🥳

Battle Creek’s Big Boy is back!

After months of rebuilding following last year’s fire, we stopped in to see how the newly reopened Big Boy Restaurant is doing—and the first impression was a strong one.

Fresh remodel. Updated booths and dining room. Same classic comfort food. And a level of customer service that shows they’re serious about making a great comeback.

From loaded waffle fries that may just beat Chick-fil-A to a surprise act of goodwill from management, there’s a lot to like about Big Boy’s fresh start.

Is it worth the return visit? We break it all down in our full review. 👇
