Shame no chicken options were available when we came here for dinner so i had to have beef when i try my best to avoid beef. However the beef burger i had was lovely. Had a gluten free bun and that was delicious. Chips were okay. However the atmosphere was a bit flat. Drinks over priced also. But we did enjoy our food

Not our usual type of eatery (husband is not really a burger fan) but I persuaded him to give it a go and we both enjoyed our meal. The burger was very tasty and the rosemary fries were delicious, as was my milkshake Staff were friendly and attentive and even made my husband a cuppa although it was not on the menu.Top marks. x

We (Family with three children) visited BBFBC on a Sunday lunchtime and were very impressed by the whole experience, to the point where we will definitely be returning on future visits to Folkestone.The staff were very attentive & friendly and there was plenty of room for a buggy.The food on both Adult & Children's menus were exceptional and our party enjoyed both Burgers & Hot Dogs. The previous excellent reviews are deserved without a doubt.

Had a really lovely experience. Popped in on a whim and was not disappointed. Waitresses were really attentive, offering a high chair before we had to ask for one for our 2 year old. Food was fab. All 3 of us demolished our meals. Delighted to break my SlimmingWorld diet with you guys!

Enjoyed a day-trip to Folkestone last Saturday for a final family beach day of the summer; the day was topped off by a lovely meal at this burger place on the High Street - staff were welcoming, service was fast, and the burgers were fab; the fries were especially nice - not oily at all. Felt pretty full afterwards, but walked it off on the way back to the train station.

I've always loved a burger from a young age, something about Big Boys just makes a burger THAT bit more special. The variety of burgers (from chicken, to meat and various toppings) accompanied with milkshakes or alcohol means there's something for everyone.The staff are amazing, especially Ellen who couldn't have been more helpful, warming and welcoming when I took my grandad yesterday for National Burger day!

I used to visit this place regularly around 5 years ago on and off. Its good to see them still going. Back then I would tell everyone they were the best burgers in Kent. Especially the fat elvis burger. I would visit as often as I could. The burgers were always cooked fresh, pink in the middle (they would always say the burgers come medium is that okay) I would say of course it's the main reason we come here.The last 2 times I have been i have been so disappointed. The burgers have completely changed. They seem to be cooking them from frozen now. The whole texture/taste has completely changed. Never ever pink and both times they have been over done. Even after double checking if the burgers were still cooked to medium. Will not be returning unfortunately

We wanted a quick, tasty lunch during our visit to Folkestone, had seen Big Boys had good reviews, and was even featured in our B&B's recommended list, so we thought we'd give it a shot. Having been shown to a table, we waited 10 minutes to be given menus and then a further 15 until someone came to take our order. This was with the restaurant at about a quarter capacity. When the burgers arrived, we were very disappointed to see that they were considerably overcooked (had asked for medium) and with no seasoning, which left a nasty taste of iron in the mouth. The amounts of grease on both the burger and fries (which tasted rancid) only added to the experience, and not in a good way. The one saving grace, and the only reason for giving it two stars instead of one, were the milkshakes, which were absolutely delicious and imaginative.

Situated on the old Folkestone highstreet about half way up the hill, this restaurant is a must visit if you enjoy burgers, in all honestly one of the best burgers I have ever tasted. They are so juicy with a perfect balance of flavours. Currently you are only able to eat outside and all order are served in boxes with wooden cutlery. Burgers come complete with rosemary fries.Ordered our 1st kit for today- can not wait to eat that Before lockdown my partner and I used to visit monthly - missing the place now can't wait for you to reopen!

The Fat Boys set up a guest menu in unit number 1 in West Hythe.Had the Ordinary Boy burger with buffalo fries, my friend had the same burger but rosemary fries. Burgers cooked to your preference, and where great. The rosemary fries are delicious but the buffalo fries (rosemary fries smothered in hot buffalo wing sauce and blue cheese) where out of this world. Mustard was expertly squeezed in a covid safe manner by the lovely Georgina. Coupled with the fantastic beer from The Hopfuzz brewery it made for a fantastic evening.

The kids had really been looking forward to eating burgers at this restaurant. Unfortunately everyone was put off by the fatty bacon. I felt that customer service was all but absent due to Covid19 restrictions. Finally a £10 off the total bill for 5 people rather than 50% off per person felt expensive in comparison to other restaurants in Folkestone. Won't be rushing back.

Really surprised to give this place just an average, after visiting here previously and having a pleasant experience.We called to make a reservation on a Saturday night and alarm bells go off immediately as the waitress is pre warning us on the phone that there will be a delay on the food as they are busy. Unfortunately many other places were fully booked and we really wanted to go out so accepted this. Upon arrival our table had mess underneath the table as pictured. The waiter came and took our order and then explained they had run out of a lot of things. The food took 40 mins from seating to eating, which we expected so fine. Mayo bottle was empty so asked for another and the waiter offered chilli sauce, which needed a good wipe. We requested our burgers med and med rare, as pictured it was well done. We didnt want to complain as we overheard the staff celebrating that they had run out of everything and if another customer came in to tell them "sorry we cannot serve them". The staff were very polite to customers however were completely unprofessional in the conversations they were having amongst themselves that customers could hear. Not sure what happened to the herbs on the the fries, not as described on the menu. The blender which was right next to our table table was very loud as was the rowdy table next to ours. All in all, not the night out we were hoping for. These are just quick fixes that could make an average restaurant, excellent.

Dropped in here on a Sunday, it was VERY quiet. While other restaurants were packed.Hoped we hadn't made a mistake.But we defiantly didn't .. I have no idea why they're not queuing for a seat here.The burgers were amazing, juicy and fresh. A good size and they certainly weren't mean with extras. I had the 'Fat Boy' plenty of bacon etc. And I don't know if we were just lucky but we all agreed the fries were the best we'd eaten in any burger restaurant, piping hot and really crispy. (not the floppy flappy fries most places serve). Our group all had different burgers and all were of the same high standard. We would all recommend Big Boys Fine Burgers and will be back

We never thought you could get a worst burger than Burger King. The whole experience was awful from food to the service and rude staff. The food had no flavour and was greasy and salty and felt like it be reheated.The chips just tasted of oil and were hard. The staff wasn't interested in our view on food and it was very expensive for what you got. We were both ill the next day. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

I asked for the vegan burger, and she told me they make special buns for their selection of vegan burgers. They also have the Fat Elvis burger (no one tried it), with peanut butter and jelly (jam), and the Reuburg, a burger with salt beef. The milkshakes looked amazing. Definitely worth a visit.

Went for a burger with a few friends and was immediately greeted by an unhelpful and completely unprofessional attitude from the waiting staff. Upon finding our own seats in an almost completely empty restaurant, I was told there would be a wait for food due takeaway orders clearly taking precedence over customers in the restaurant, I accepted reluctantly. I was then told the wait had increased, again I accepted and attempted to buy a drink. It was a this point I was told that I couldn’t even have a drink to pass the time (an hour long wait). I decided to cut my losses at this point. Extremely disappointed.

On arriving we were first told food would be about a half hour wait (which was fine) as they had alot of take away orders going through. We found a table to sit at which was fairly easy as the restraunt was not even half full. To then be informed it would be closer to 1 hour... we decided this was also ok and would just have some beers in the mean time, went up to order a beer and was told that she couldn't serve us at the moment as was very busy... after being told this for the 3rd time we got the idea they did not want us there as they couldn't even serve a drink for us while we waited and decided to leave... if the attitude of the staff was more helpful I would have stayed.

My family and I visited yesterday lunchtime. My daughter and myself ordered the vegetarian option ‘The Chick’. We waited ages for the food to come, which was surprising since it wasn’t busy. When our burgers came, they looked very strange....the actual ‘falafel’ burger was about 2inches thick, very pale looking with a weird soft texture. I don’t think the patty had actually been cooked; the taste was ok and I managed to eat half of it but the texture was very off putting, like eating a savoury version of cookie dough. My daughter didn’t like hers at all, mainly because of the texture. I did speak to a member of staff at the end of the meal but she didn’t seem very interested. My other daughter enjoyed her hotdog, but for me this was a disappointing visit.

Ate lunch there as a special destination for our young kids based on positive reviews. Big mistake. Had to wait 25min for food even though restaurant was not busy at all- with very young children wait times are a huge concern. All the food was made with low quality ingredients, cooked badly, at very high prices. Soggy, flavourless chips; milkshakes were just milk with a small amount of Nesquik; we asked for burgers rare and were told chef could only do medium rare, which we agreed to, but they arrived well done. Kids’ meal came with microwaved frozen veg, and the pulled pork on my burger was frankly gross and looked like it came out of a can. We also asked if the kids meals could be done half and half in the kitchen (we’d ordered one burger and one hot dog and asked if they could be split and plated in the kitchen to avoid the kids kicking off about food being divided in front of them). Waitress said no, even though this doesn’t really seem like a big deal to us (and yes, our 3 year old did freak out when we tried to make him share his food with his sister, kids are irrational but that’s part of the family restaurant demographic). In all paid £46 for very poor quality food, most of which no one ate, and indifferent service.

One of the best burgers i had lately. The location and service were very nice as well. Brilliant! Definitely will be coming back soon.

The burger really was fantastic! (I had the one with the cheese inside it) and the chips were first rate as well. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because we were told "there is a bit of a wait" as we walked in - it was 12.30 and there were about 5 other tables in the restaurant - surely they should have been able to cope with this many people at such time?! But it wasn't a long wait and the food was fab.

My boyfriend and I walked past this restaurant twice at about 7pm but it was closed both times! Came back for our lunch and were not disappointed. Delicious veggie burger and great beer selection. My boyfriend had the cheese stuffed burger which was very cheesy! The rosemary fries were some of the best we've ever had. Great little burger place, just a shame it wasn't open for dinner

The lamb burger was absolutely delicious with a thin slice of halloumi and peeled red pepper 💛 The chips are really tasty and crunchy and the whole place has a fun atmosphere. The kids’ menu was great - the fish fingers are homemade with tasty...

I’ve been to Big Boys maybe 5 times now and I can honestly say that these burgers ROCK! Not only that but the Rosemary fries and onion rings are fab too. If you love a good burger, you’ll love this place - I for one can’t wait to go back!

We returned for a second visit as we loved it the first time round, not disappointed at all! The Juicy One is definitely Juicy and the fries are sublime! We will be back again. Thanks.

We had a great meal here recently. The food was fantastic - huge portions! The burgers were juicy and full of flavour and the cheesy chips were great.

Friendly staff, great service and as always, fantastic food. The burgers are amazing and they ask how you want them cooked. My favourite is the cheese filled one My husband prefers the Fat Elvis which has peanut butter and jam in! Second time visiting as we are not local but when we go into Folkestone, this is top of our list of places to eat!

My last visit was over 2 years ago. I had contacted them in the week with regards to making a booking and a request for specifics for my son. On arrival the staff were very welcoming & checked that we were happy with the reserved booth. Drinks & food orders taken with patience so my son could order his own with his do's & don'ts. The food was quick & did not disappoint; hot, good size portions & sooo tasty. We also had dessert; or heaven on a plate; ferrero roche cheesecake. We weren't rushed & the wonderfully friendly staff checked on us throughout. My son & I were meeting old friends of mine & it was such a lovely chilled out time resulting in catching up & a new bond built. Its important for us to find places that are accommodating, patient & friendly; you hit the nail on head for which I am very grateful & hope other families now visit for the same reasons. Thank you **

We popped in for a half term lunch before a visit to the cinema in Folkestone. The food is great and the customer service was exceptional. Our visit was slightly longer than planned due to a mix up with orders but the staff dealt with the situation perfectly. Thank you.

Big Boys has become my new go-to place of the year. Excellent food, good welcome, perfect. Mexican burger is something else. It's all good.

The place is compact and has too many people in there using the bar aswell as the restaurant. Its a nice atmosphere but seems pressured because of space and customers. After ordering,they forgot one of the meals completely,until we asked where it was. The food was nice except the portions seemed small compared to the price charged. £6 for fish fingers,mash and beans child portion..

Mientras que fuera pasear de Folkestone a Sandgate, decidimos que debe parar por una pequeña libación y quizás algo de comer. Lo que necesitábamos para encontrar algún lugar que aceptaron nuestro perro pequeño, el primero pub que encontramos no ofrecen que y fue que nos encontramos en el Royal Norfolk Hotel, y sí son sin duda perro amable, siempre que su perro permanece en una ventaja. Nos dieron una cálida bienvenida del barman encantador, oriundos de la República Checa y de los clientes habituales. Nos sentamos en un cómodo sofá y se normalizaron por una pinta de Whitstable Bay Pale Ale y mi esposa tenía unas Crabbies. Nos relajamos y estudió el menú, que ofrece una gran variedad de platos de "clásico pub, compartimos un tazón de nachos seguido de gambas y patatas fritas para mí y Chilie y arroz para mi esposa, junto con otra pinta y un vaso de Sauvignon Blanc. La comida era abundante en parte, absolutamente frescos, preparados a la orden y 'casera', la pasta de la cerveza en el Scampi era lite y crujientes. Pasamos una tarde maravillosa en un encantador y cálido y agradable pub, prueba que, muy recomendable.
