What a great restaurant! With a 24-hour breakfast, it's always packed. The cornbread was soft and fluffy and so yummy. Our waitress handled the entire place and didn't miss a thing. She was attentive and nice. Oh, and they are open 24 hours! We may never go to Perskins again. I would definitely recommend this place!
Good food and friendly staff! Coming from NJ and missing "diner" food, this was a great find.
Outstanding breakfast place. The food is tasty and the amount is hearty. We ordered a variety of things and were not disappointed at all. The waitress was very friendly and even invited us to come certain days of the week for various specials. And they have Grits! Ordered the corned beef hash and eggs with home fries, chicken, French toast and a pancake (thought it would be small) my bad. lol. Will definitely visit this rustic big breakfast place again.
Good food fast service and friendly people. Usually have breakfast but lately late lunch or early dinner. Great home style meals that will satisfy anyone
From Michelin starred restaurants to down home diners in one week- follow me for lots of variety in my culinary adventures! LOL Not being a Deland local, I don't know if there is a "Big Rig 1", but I kind of suspect there is. Big Rig 2 was right around the corner from where I was working this day, so I stopped in and was pleasantly surprised. For what it is, a kind of dive-y diner frequented by locals, I really liked this place. I'm from South Carolina originally, and I literally felt like I had went home and stepped back in time some thirty plus years. Fried chicken, collard greens, green beans, and Sweet Tea ( NOT "sweetened tea"- that's a Yankee word ;) ). Yummm. Everything was delicious. Don't go in expecting anything fancy, but if you like good Southern cooking and your waitresses sweet but sassy, this place won't disappoint. Next time I'm in Deland, I'll come here again! Or maybe I'll try to find "Big Rig 1" after all...
I've always said , you can't really screw up breakfast, well you can sure make it great !!!! I was in the mood for something more southern, I got the fisherman's breakfast , 3 big pieces of fish , one biscuit and gravy and hash browns , my buddy got the steak and eggs special . Wow everything was great and plentiful , you will not go home hungry .
Liver and Onions Liver and Onions was a delicious and nutritious meal . Excellent service and food.
I rolled my 18 minus 14 wheeler into the parking lot. I voiced my best "PSSSHHH" air brake sound to complete the effect. Finding this place online, we had a big case of 'review envy', in a mouthwatering way. Welcomed in a Big Rig way by Bethany holding the door open for us was a real nice touch. Beth, as they call her was to be our server as well. Very impressed, I was already mind-writing this review. Understand that the menu is a teasing collection of homespun favorites mixed with intriguing combinations. Bologna, that oft-forgotten sausage plays a big role in several recipes. Grilled bologna and eggs. Egg, cheese & bologna sandwiches. Bologna grilled cheese. Etc. You can get a good ol' PB&J sandwich, with grape jelly. My Fav Fab One, also known as Beth, ordered the 4 Piece Fried Chicken Dinner. I had been considering a northern style pork cutlet sandwich. Or, a Philly Steak Hoagie and a cup of chili. Chili is awesome on a cool November day. Lots of tongue tingling choices, so many wonderful choices. But, when the 'other' Beth stepped in to take our orders, I was already imagining some Big Rig pigging out on some fine fried chicken! THE BEST fried chicken either one of us has EVER had! Sweet. Juicy through and through. Lip smacking, finger licking damn good! We were getting a lot of smiles per gallon on this poultry-leum! Ohhhhhhhhhh man! Cornbread. The cornbread raised the bar to a level that will never be matched. Think 'cornbread cake'! Moist. Sweet. Moist. Sweet. Heaven to eat. Hands down the bestest cornbread ever. By the time we put our forks down, we were in La La Land. The food. La WOW! The service. La Wow! The whole experience. Yep. La Wow! I could literally eat every meal, breakfast, lunch and dinner at this place. They are open 24/7 after all. It would be a real 'Weigh Station' expectation. Tell them John, and my Beth sent ya!
Open 24hrs, even on holidays (yes that includes the big ones), and the full menu available all the time? LOVE. This is a southern local diner in Deland that has one of the most extensive breakfast menus I've ever seen. We were driving home from Ocala and needing dinner on a Sunday night, when I spotted this gem and busted a U-turn! This place gives me Waffle House vibes, without the open kitchen. There were people eating, to-go orders being picked up, and a generally welcome-to-all energy. We came when the waitresses were swapping shifts, and it was nice that the one who clocked out checked on us before leaving. They have a very large menu with so many southern classics that I love. They also have specials boards around the restaurant, and tonight they had a pot roast that came with 3 sides, bread and a slice of banana cake for $15.50! Yes, that seems like a high price for a diner, but it was so much food and also they deserve to charge more in this ever increasing price market! It was worth it too. My husband got the fried chicken which was a half a chicken with 2 sides and bread. Our meals were so big, we could've shared one easily. We both have leftovers for lunch tomorrow! The food looked average but it tasted above. The pot roast was fall apart tender and the brown gravy really set it off. The mashed potatoes, yams and green beans were all solid choices and I really loved the cornbread. The banana cake was super cute and the perfect end to my meal! 100% will be back here again.
