About Big John Steak and Onion
Big John Steak & Onion has been a Flint Tradition since 1972! They have 15 locations in Mid-Michigan. John E. Klobucar opened his first Big John Steak & Onion Restaurant on South Dort Highway in Flint, Michigan. “Big” John had been in the restaurant business for many years when he came across the idea to open the sub shops. He wanted an open kitchen where his customers could watch the steak sizzling on the grill. He always gave his hard-working customers a generous portion of steak, so they never left hungry. At first, he started with a limited menu consisting of the original steak & onion sub, a Koegel, Italian and a ham & cheese Sub. Today, there are many more varieties to choose from.
