The Bob’s Big Boy statue, with his unmissable hair swoop and those checker-patterned overalls, is a beloved sight known to burger buffs cruising along Firestone Boulevard in Downey.
The welcoming figure has stood outside Bob’s Big Boy Broiler for decades, with a tempting hamburger held high, giving diners high hopes for what they’ll find inside the classic diner.
But those appetizing expectations have taken a turn for the eerie this fall with the anticipated return of “Zombie Bob” to the authentically retro restaurant.
Bob’s oversized hamburger is still raised in the air, but the entrance-close icon is rocking a spookier appearance, complete with a green visage and a brainy head-topper.
Inside, the spooky sights continue: Halloween Zombie Shakes are on the seasonal menu, with an “eyeball” topper and plenty of green and flavorful flair.
The snapshottable dessert is priced at $8.99.
Seeking other themed libations while Bob-ing it up? Zombie Lemonade, a dastardly drink on the limited-time line-up, arrives with a syringe full of sweetness — you add it to your sip — and some gummy worms serving as the tasty garnish.
There’s also monstrous merchandise for sale at the restaurant, items that pay fun and not-so-fearful tribute to both Bob’s Big Boy Broiler and the spine-tingling season.
All of these autumnal offerings will be moaning and groaning throughout October, so turn your haunted carriage in the direction of Downey before the month evaporates.
And if you call upon the square-meal-serving spot after the sun sets, you’ll savor some of the Bob’s Big Boy After Dark energy.
Think decorations, webs, tiny skeletons festooning various fixtures, Halloween-y illumination, and a fun-and-lightly-frightful atmosphere to savor while you enjoy your fries and chicken tenders.
One night in particular is going to have some additional October oomph: Oct. 16 is “Thriller Night” at Bob’s Big Boy Broiler, with DJ music, a costume contest, a station for slime-making, a Thrifty ice cream truck, face painting, and other festive fall diversions.
