Bob's Big Boy

On the Grid : Bob's Big Boy

"Bob's Big Boy may now be a nationwide chain, but Southern California is where it all began. Designed and built in 1949 by famed "Googie" style architect Wayne McAllister, this early Bob's in Burbank is nothing like its franchise cousins across the midwest. Every Friday night the parking lot fills with pristine classic cars, hot-rods, museum cars, and even a horseless carriage or two. Friday nights at Bob's is where classic cars come to tailgate. You can even still have food delivered to you car on the weekends, or if you choose to dine inside, perhaps sit at the "Beatles Booth" where the Fab 4 once enjoyed a bite from this classic American diner." - Jennifer Beatty
