BOB'S BIG BOY RESTAURANT OF BURBANK, CALIFORNIA

Bob's Big Boy, 4211 Riverside Drive, Burbank, California, USA.

The 'Bob's Big Boy Restaurant' at 4211 Riverside Drive in Burbank, California, is the oldest remaining Bob's Big Boy in the United States. Built in 1949 by local residents Scott MacDonald and Ward Albert, it was designed by noted Los Angeles architect Wayne McAllister, "incorporating the 1940's transitional design of streamline modern style, while anticipating the freeform 50's coffee shop architecture. The towering Bob's sign is an integral part of the building design and its most prominent feature."[1]
The restaurant was designated a California Point of Historical Interest in 1993.
The MacDonald family acquired the restaurant in 1993, rehabilitating the tower sign, adding a patio and remodeling the dining room. Carhop service was reintroduced on weekends and a weekly classic car show is hosted in the parking lot.[1]
This location has a table in the back where The Beatles sat. For many years a plaque commemorated this, but according to store employees, it was stolen and replaced many times, and is currently not in place.
