That’s $8.40 in inflation adjusted dollars.

That meal would be at least $12-$15 at most places these days

Definitely agree with you, but I went to their website to confirm. Special price for baskets this summer is 8.99. Big boy platter is 10.50. So, not as egregious as I would've thought

Ok, not AS egregious. I’m mostly surprised that there are still Big Boy’s. Now, I wonder about Howard Johnson’s and Ponderosa.

Honestly, that seems pretty damn good these days. A Big Mac meal near me is around $14-15 and a Big Boy is so much better.

You forgot to add "corpo greed" when calculate inflation .
