Bob’s Big Boy is a restaurant located in Burbank, a city northwest of downtown Los Angeles. The dinner, which was built in 1949, has since become a historic landmark due to its innovative design and serving as one of the best examples of Googie architecture that can be found in Southern California.
Designed by architect Wayne McAllister, the restaurant’s classic design remains mostly intact over 70 years later. The restaurant’s 70-foot-tall pink and white neon sign is a landmark in and of itself and is still as eye catching as it would have been during the golden age of the automobile.
Inside, you’ll find a wide range of classic American meals across the restaurant’s extensive breakfast, lunch and dinner/dessert menu with the venues double-deck hamburger the standout signature dish.
The restaurant was visited by the Beatles during their 1965 U.S. Summer Tour. The booth that was used by the band is the last on the right from the main entrance and remains popular with visitors. The restaurant was also featured in the classic Michael Mann film Heat, used as a location for several scenes throughout the film.
