Friday nights, come to see free car show. Loads of vintage cars. Walk up order window in the back. Bring a chair and chill outside if you like.
Peter GutierrezJuly 25, 2016Cannot go wrong with the Classic Big Boy Combo. If you like Bleu Cheese with your fries, ask for a side of dressing and go to town!

Brendan RastetterAugust 21, 2014I spent a lot of late nights here and drank way too many of their amazing milkshakes. I regret nothing. And you have to order a burger. Go with the Super Big Boy with fries...chili cheese fries!
Susan BelanderMarch 18, 2015This is a classic so cal place for a Big boy combo and a shake as well as a historical spot everyone should visit at least once!- I’m happy this place is surviving the covid lockdown. Car hop service stayed opened throughout 2020. Social distance and enjoy a burger. Closes early though. I love this place!
JenniferOctober 15, 2014Chili size spaghetti is a bizarre (but delicious) option. And it comes with garlic toast!
John KiddeJuly 13, 2015Burgers, shakes, fries, and you can flavorize(new word) your soda. Plus, if you go on the right day there is a classic car show in the parking lot.
Offbeat L.A.January 28, 2016Opened 1949. Oldest remaining branch of the burger chain. Mixes streamline modern with Googie. Remodeled interior.
Frederic PeetersJune 10, 2014A place you really need to visit when you're in CA for the atmosphere, and the hamburger culture ... but i was not 100% happy with the classic bigboy burger.
Ed R.March 24, 2013It's Bobs! How can you resist their classic burgers and Chili spaghetti? No one does it better. Wish they'd come back to Northern California. (I think Bob is secretly a Giants fan, anyway.)
The Big Boy is one of the tasty classic burgers. Can't go wrong with it.
David CaffreySeptember 14, 2011I love Burgers! Fridays people bring their Hotrods and other classic cars to show off, it is AWESOME! And well worth a visit just for the experience. the coffee is good too
Sean MillerAugust 30, 2014Get the original big boy combo. I grew up on this burger and it is still my favorite!
Bob GalloSeptember 13, 2019They want you to sign up to their site over the phone then send you a free coupon for food but you have to print it out. Yes, I carry around a printer all the time !! BS this is
Matilda ClementsMay 30, 2014The vintage car show on Fridays in the parking lot is classic awesome!! Combine that with the Big Boy Burger combo can't be beat!
Ana RezaJuly 21Tried to get dinner but the wait was 45 minutes and my boys were starved. Fun car show Friday nights - I’ll be back to hopefully change to happy face.
Must see car shows on Friday evenings. Also the bacon cheese burger is awesome.
Friday Classic Car Night has become a recurring date for my 4yr old daughter and me. Lots of colors, fun people, and classic, if basic, food.
Scott MannMay 26, 2013Can never go wrong with the original big boy combo but if wanting something different try the open face hot turkey sandwich very yummy
Chili spaghetti hits the spot! Shakes are great too.
Kelsey AJanuary 30, 2013Make sure you try the cherry coke with your burger. Also the seasoning salt is a must for your French fries!
ScottySauceAugust 17, 2011Get the famous double big boy classic burger and a hot fudge ice cream cake for dessert. Be sure to get a picture with the Big Boy.
Michael ChernickJuly 5, 2015Best burgers shakes and hot fudge cakes along with top notch French fries.
Lauren MorenoApril 13, 2013Chili spaghetti is the best! Diet coke with side of Vanilla, salad ranch on side with bobs seasoning in it. Heavenly!- Gotta stick with the classic whenever dining here! Big Boy Burger & fries don't forget a wonderful chocolate milkshake!
Meli MelJuly 19, 2013It was great.. Out of all the banana shakes I've had at other places theirs was the best!!
ChevroletSeptember 20, 2010A classic retro diner, Classic Car enthusiasts pull into the Drive-In every Friday night. +2 points if you spot a classic Camaro and Corvette!
USDA choice Delmonica Steak is really good!! ( try w Mash Potatoes)
If you are there at night - ELI is the Server to request...If you would like dessert ask for "Ross's Ass"...It's Whip Cream in a cookie/waffle cone with a cherry on top!
Raman GulatiJuly 31, 2010The burgers are more fast food than gourmet... gotta try something else on the menu next time. Warning: the parking lot in the back gets pretty full at lunchtime!
Jairo ArreolaJuly 18, 2012First time here. If you plan on having lunch, arrive early to beat the crowd!
The best chicken tortilla soup; the cheesy-creamy kind w/ perfectly crunchy tortilla strips.
It's Saturday afternoon and half the parking lot is blocked off. My tip is there are plenty of restaurants across the street.
SundanceTVJune 7, 2012The Push Girls embrace the finger-lickin' good California historical landmark. So should you.
I always come here for the deep fried French toast! Well done! <3
Sherri CamarilloJanuary 31, 2010Get the French toast deep fried, not grilled. Squeeze a little of the orange wedge on it before adding syrup. Then smile, you are about to taste heaven.
