⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jacquline Maggetti
5 Stars! A Nostalgic Gem in St. Anthony! What a nostalgic treat! It’s been decades since I’ve been to Big J’s, and while I’m not sure if it’s under the same ownership as when I was a little girl, one thing’s for sure, bravo to whoever is running it now! When we pulled up, the drive-thru was packed, so we decided to dine in. At first, we were the only ones inside, but by the time we finished our meal, there were only two tables left open, on a Tuesday evening! It’s clear this place is loved by locals and visitors alike. We ordered a little of everything: fried pickles (so good!), a pizza bomb, small pizza, BBQ bacon burgers, fries, a corn dog, and of course, shakes. Every single item hit the spot. The food was fresh, flavorful, and arrived quickly, even with a few order modifications. Everything came out exactly right. The restaurant itself was clean and welcoming, and the entire experience just felt like a throwback in the best way possible. It’s easy to see why this place is still buzzing after all these years. Skip the chains! Big J’s is a true St. Anthony icon. Let’s keep this local gem going strong for decades to come!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — T Streb
The place is pretty small so seating is limited. I recommend takeout. I waited 15-20 minutes for a pizza bomb. I highly recommend it if you've never been here before. It was my first time and I'd rate the pizza bomb a 8/10. I would love to come here with family and friends, but if I do go, I'd go before the lunch hour rush or before dinner when seating is more readily available, otherwise, the place lives up to its reviews.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Arni Jonsson
Seriously good burgers, professional service and clean environment. Reak strawberry shake is fantastic.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Norman Tweet
Visited twice; had a burger and fries and then a pizza bomb (what most of us would call a calzone). Both meals were tasty and priced very reasonably, especially for a small town eatery. The kids working there were professional, but service can be slow when it's busy. It has a drive thru option as well.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Nathan Burdette
This place has been around a long time, but inside it’s kept clean and the group I was with was really glad we found this looking for places to stop for lunch. Their strawberry shake was super good, and I thought the food was good for the price. A solid option for a quick bit to eat.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Patricia
I ordered a sausage pizza bomb( calzone) while on vacation this past week in this awesome little town. This Calzone was so so good. I’ve had calzones in NY, Chicago and many different places. I was hesitant because I never had a good balance of ingredients. This pizza bomb was perfect. Not too much of one thing and plenty of the right things. Perfect balance. From the time I called until I finished it, everything was. Awesome
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Sean Ache
This place has the best burgers that I've ever eaten. I haven't asked them where their meat comes from, but I'm pretty sure it's local. They have specials every day of the week and my favorite is Monday - you get a huge double cheeseburger, drink and your choice of fries or tater tots for under $8. I highly recommend bring an appetite because you won't be eating for the rest of the day.
