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.
