Big Eds BBQ - Waukegan (IL)

5 /5 d figueroa: Food was good, we had a group of 3. We enjoyed the atmosphere, the cashier was nice, very helpful with the ordering process and suggestions, they were good about clearing off our table of trays once done with food. Very clean. Love the new location much better, plenty of space, much bigger, cafeteria style. Brisket and ribs were good, than dipped in the different sauces it was bomb. I love corn bread and that cornbread muffin was awesome. Mac & cheese is usually off the chain but this time around it was okay probably cause we came in close to closing time, the mash potatoes were great, wasnt crazy about the coleslaw but again it was probably because it was close to closing. Well worth the price, you get a healthy amount of food, you wont leave hungry and will actually leave with left overs.. lol We will most definitely return.

5 /5 Skyler Donner: This is no bs barbeque! You walk in and walk to the counter, grab a drink and order food. They give you a number if you have a special order otherwise everything is cut up and plated right in front of you. It cant get much better and simpler than that! Ive been grilling and smoking for a long time and Ive ate at many smoke shacks this definitely competes with the best of them. I had brisket, burnt ends, mac and cheese, and yams. Honestly everything was pretty solid. The burnt ends definitely dominated the plate but the yams were my absolute favorite. The atmosphere is so so depending on what you are looking for. Lots of space and a bunch of little tvs. It works great for big groups or even family dinner. I personally think they could add one really nice big projector and Id show up for all the football games. Otherwise everything about this place is top notch, service is great and prices are fair.

5 /5 Phillip J. M.: Does Michelin give stars for BBQ? If so this place is 5 star Michelin rated. Truly off the scale in every way. The staff is so polite and kind, the food is other worldly and the prices are low for what you get. Come hungry.

4 /5 angel gonzalez: Stopped by for late lunch. Burnt ends were already depleted. Got the big plate with ribs and brisket, special mac n cheese, and mashed potatoes. The ribs, mash and mac n cheese was good. Brisket was a bit dry. The sauces were all excellent with a variety of flavors. Corn muffin was good. Pulled pork was plentiful and tasty. Cole slaw was good.
