Bob's Big Boy has been a hang out since the 50's. Those who were too cool for school would gather to show off their hot-rods and discover the latest auto mods everynight before and after cruising Van Nuys Boulevard in a parade of over-the-top lead sleds. The food is the same now as it was then: burgers and fries with shakes so thick they had to be eaten with a spoon. Bob's is the last of it's breed and a thowback to post-war Southern California.

One of the last remaining restaurants in this old time chain of burger joints which flourished from the 1950s-1970s. Known as TOPPS Big Boy in Illinois, and known as AZARS Big Boy in Indiana, and known by other names in other parts of the USA. BOBS is your typical 1950s era coffee shop and burger joint, and the food is no different anywhere you go, no matter what the name is. Good burgers with french fries. Enough said.

This is THE original. A 1940's "coffee shop" landmark. Good food at good prices. Known for their Bob's Big Boy combo (an awesome hamburger & fries). Friday nights the place truns into a car show (I've seen everything from a Model T to a Countach). Car-hop service on Saturday nights. Close to Burbank Studios and Warner Bros. Studios.

A cultural landmark, this restaurant will serve you good food at low prices. I recommend the Original Bob's Big Boy combo ... and their Bob's Big Boy Blue Cheese dressing is out-of-this-world! (Check out the pictures and plaques as you dine ... Being located so close to Burbank Studios and Warner Bros. Studios, many films have been shot there! You could be sitting in the booth that Robert DeNiro and Val Kilmer sat in, during the filming of HEAT!) Great Family Style restaurant, that won't drain your wallet!

How can you go wrong with the original Bob's Big Boy?? This great "Jetsons" style 50's diner was deservedly given landmark status for it's great roadside drive-in architecture. The original Bob's menu is still being served with my old favorites like the chili-size (try it over spaghetti!) and of course the Big Boy combo. You can still get fed to the gills and out the door for under $10 a person! The popularity of this cultural landmark always makes for a great time people watching as well, with the young crowd taking over on Friday and Saturday nights. A popular hang out for the local car culture too, and on weekends a virtual automotive museum of hot rods gathers in the parking lot. Pure fun, all-american style!
