How have I not stumbled on this place before? It's less than five minutes from home, but it's hidden on a less traveled part of a less major street, kind of off the beaten path. I discovered it when looking through Yelp to see what else was nearby that I hadn't tried before. I've been there several times now, and so far have always gotten the Italian sausage. It comes au jus for dipping, and it's is flavorful, plentiful, an all-around delicious. Seating is okay - a little lumpy and aging, but somehow it adds to the charm of the place. Service is quick and very friendly. She even remembered me the second time I came in, and greeted me like an old friend. Parking outside, at least the times of day when we've been there, has been plentiful. There are also some gaming machines in a side room, for anyone into that. We're just there for the food, and will definitely be back many times! read more

I was in the area and had a taste for a hotdog. I stopped in here and when I walked in I was able to detect a strong odor of weed! It was dark and the person behind the counter said the kitchen is closed, (it was 6:30). I was not going to order anything even if the kitchen was open. I left and drove west and found Booby's (yep that's the name of the restaurant). Decent hotdog read more

Needed a quick meal with some friends and stopped by at Biggies right by Niles West. Boy, was I surprised. This suburban restaurant is the perfect place for a meal with your friends, family, both for dine-in and take-out. Let's talk about what I personally ate: - Mac N Cheese - Veggie Pita - Fries - Mozzarella Sticks I was ready to feast and Biggies was the place to be. This is a place of comfort and a chill meal out and about around town. Can't wait for my next visit! read more

Good fast service. Burgers and fries were great! This will be our new quick stop for really good food

I used to frequent this place quite often years ago. I think ownership may have changed because I don't recognize any of the staff or they got new staff. I happened to be in the neighborhood and was looking forward to eating here. Ordered sausage egg and cheese croissant. Staff is nice. Staff is friendly. Unfortunately the sandwich was sub par. Instead of a sausage patty they used about three sausage links sliced to make the sandwich. I ordered mine for on the go. Hard to eat a sandwich like this as you try to keep the links in place while driving . The sausage links were freezer burned too. Awful tasting. I kept belching for the rest of the day and all I could taste was the sausage. I will not order here again, unfortunately. It's too bad. read more

Great food, great environment, and fun slot machines! I recommend the Buffalo tenders they have a dry rub on them that is spicy and flavorful. They also have their signature sauce which is AMAZING, get it!! read more

This place is weird. They make a solid hot dog and fries, but the menu is really limited, with not too many options outside of burgers and dogs. No italian sausage or italian beef, no turkey burger. They do offer a "falafel fritter" sandwich. I tried to stop by there yesterday for a quick dinner, but was denied. The parking lot was full but the restaurant was empty, except for two old ladies sitting at a table, who informed me that the grill closed at 1:30. This was at 6 pm. No explanation, no signs, nobody in sight who looked like an employee. Doors were open, but apparently they were closed-ish. Were those ladies affiliated with Biggie somehow? So curious. I started spinning all these strange fantasies, like maybe there was a cult sacrifice going down in the basement, or a mafia conclave. Those ladies were the lookouts/decoys. So...if you can catch them open, Biggie's might scratch the hot dog itch but not much else...unless you're into video poker [eye roll]. read more

Biggies is my new favorite burger in the area and it isn't even close. My wife got the gyro plate and we both agreed it's up there with any of the other gyros you can get close by. I say we because she tried my burger and claimed half as her own. I don't blame her, it was that good. And don't forget the Biggies sauce! read more

My friend and I stopped by and got a cheeseburger, grilled cheese, fries and jalepeño poppers. The wait time was quick and everything tasted fresh! The fries and jalepeño poppers stayed crispy throughout our meal. Would definitely recommend to stop by if you're in the area and would like something quick. read more

Had the burger and fries at biggies. So goood!!! Will definitely go back here to try some other menu items.

Went into Biggies for the first time. Ordered a gyro sandwich and a side of fries. Asked for everything on the gyro expecting a normal gyro, but after taking a few bites I realized they used sautéed onions instead of raw onions. That complemented the sandwich very well!! The fries were also amazing! Place was also well maintained and clean. As well as staff wearing proper attire during these times. Will definitely return to Biggies and try the rest of their menu! read more

The best spicy fries. I lve spicy food & they have a good amount of kick. Glad this is next to my work.

I was starving after work so a co-worker and I went to grab a bite to eat. We went to "Biggies" located @ 6004 Oakton in Morton Grove, IL. This is a fast food place that has a pretty decent double bacon cheeseburger. Of course there were 2 burger patties on a toasted bun w/cheddar cheese & bacon. I had an everything burger with lettuce, tomatoes & onions on a toasted bun. I added Sriracha hot chili sauce. What a great way to start the day a true breakfast of champions (as long as I don't have a heart attack). It was a pretty good burger. read more

Finally decided to come here after trying to find a burger spot In the area. Decided to order their new item menu (jumbo wings) The buffalo sauce was great. Nice kick but not too much. Burger was grilled to perfection and good combo with fries. Will definitely come back to try other menu items!! read more

I wanted to write about this little diner I came across while running errands. I was told it was under new ownership. The diner is very clean, food is excellent and great prices. You should try this little diner. You definitely will not be disappointed. read more

burgers good bun could be little smaller crinkle cut fries great nice people work there very kind!

I used to come here every day when I worked across the street just for the Merkt's cheddar cheese fries. I walked in today and got a hot dog special only to find they no longer offer the side of cheese, use a cheaper type of french fry, and all the fixings for my hotdogs were in a separate container making me assemble it like I was at a baseball game. This spot has definitely given up on food in exchange for the slot machine traffic. Go somewhere else. read more

It's a good thing that the restaurant has a nice location, and I found it when I was looking for a spot to eat. I found this restaurant in the area. I was not very familiar with the place, so I was just glad that I was able to find a good spot quickly. Parking is also available in the restaurant. It is clean. It is also small, which is perfectly fine. It is a normal type of restaurant with a nice view, clean and bright surroundings, with many tables and chairs available. It was not busy when I went there, and I am so grateful that it was because I was really able to get food fast. The service was really quick. The staff behind the counter were nice and friendly, and the food was served after a short wait after ordering. I almost forgot about their menu, which really has a variety of options. Their menu is so wide and I did not really expect it. There were a variety of choices, and the prices were fair and reasonable. I just decided to have a double cheeseburger, crinkle cut fries, and four buffalo fried tenders, which all had a nice portion and were also fresh and hot when they were served. All I can say about the food is that it was all delicious. I loved every single one of them, and my favorite is definitely their buffalo fried tenders, simply because they were crispy, tender, and the flavor was amazing. It was my first visit to the restaurant, but it didn't feel like it. Food is delicious. Prices are fair and reasonable. Service is quick and friendly. read more

I have been working in this area for the last two weeks and Biggies is my favorite place for lunch. Great menu. The new owner is devoted to making Biggies a success. Let's help him succeed by putting this place on your regular lunch rotation! read more

Fast food that doesn't taste like it. Terrific fries and burgers. A must try if in the area!

Worst waste of 11 dollars ever. The combo is dry no flavor and only 4 inch sausage. I work at local pace bus garage and cant wait to share picture wit our 120 drivers. I was warned but i thought they were being cheap....not wrong at all if you see this place drive by as fast as you can read more

Avoid this place. Their "menu", if you can call it that is super limited and despite being told that the menu was changing a few months ago (which is why we thought we would give it another try), it hasn't and if anything, they've eliminated even more items. We attempted to get lunch from there just today and was told at 1:30 in the afternoon that A) They have no more french fries B) They weren't allowed to put ketchup on my burger. How the hell are you not making french fries at lunch time?? And well, you make what you want out of the no ketchup thing what you will, they acted as if it were a rule. I should also mention I asked for grilled onions and was told they didn't have any, although they obviously have both onions and a grill. We were treated as if our requests for food were an imposition I completely regret giving them a second chance. I will never go there again and they're only a few block away. They would have gotten a lot of business but it's apparent that customers just get in the way of the poker machines. Added bonus - The burger I ordered was straight up trash so there's zero reason to go, even if you're desparate read more

This location is very much open! The food is fast and great. Burgers are big and you add your own condiments so you can put on as much or as little you want. Same for the hot dogs! read more

This is one of those just eh places. The staff is friendly to their customers but the place was dead if you don't count all the elderly ladies playing video poker in the side room. I was the only person there. For an establishment on a busy street I'd expect more customers. Was the food good?...it was ok- not great but I've had worse, but there are much better places I'm heading to first. The fries were hot and crispy so bonus points for those, but the burger was average. The only other turnoff was the staff arguing with people on the phone. They are open late, so that is a bonus since most places are closed after 10. Their menu is typical to a hotdog joint, and the place looks clean. Overall seems like it's well loved by it's owners, just needs a little revamping to keep up with the competition. There are hundreds of these types of restaurants in the Chicagoland area. read more

I come to the slot machines, and occasionally I'll buy a hotdog. Today I come in and there is only one other person there besides me and when I asked for grilled onions on my Biggie dog I was refused by the older heavier man with glasses. First he says I don't have grilled onion then I ask if be has onion at all. His reply is "yes I have onions but it takes too long to grill them." I said ok and walked out. I've never been denied grilled onions before for such a rediculous excuse. Does management read this page? I'd like this addressed. read more

Not sure what happened to this place. I was pretty happy when they reopened about 6 years ago. The food was good and a lot of options to choose from. I don't eat out every day but over the last couple years this place has gone downhill. First the menu changed. They eliminated a lot of items. Today was my first time back in about 6 months. Wow. The place was gross inside. Floors were sticky. Tables not clean. I went in the bathroom to wash my hands and they were out of paper towels and I noticed they were out of TP too. The menu has even less now. Pretty much just burger, hot dog and a salad are your only options. The burger now is like 1/4 lb. Fries were cold. No more bringing ketchup bottles to your table, there's just a big pump at the counter. I don't see coming back here any time soon. I am not a gambler so that part doesn't appeal to me. I work in the area and always appreciated the quality food. That seems to be gone so I guess they are relying on people buying hot dogs and slots to stay open. read more

I went into biggies and got a cheeseburger with fries, fries were well seasoned and very tasty cheeseburger was delicious. During this pandemic biggies is doing a great job of keeping everything clean and sanitized all staff were wearing their mask. Thank you for food and keep up the good will definitely be back for more read more

Had the Chicago dog which was ok but not hot, sriracha chicken tasted good & could be hotter & Merlot cheddar burger which was like warm & meat tasted old & had gristle. This place is just basic fast food, nothing special. Nice staff. Do yourself a favor & eat at Boba Burger instead!! read more

I Love the chix pita sandwiches here,the salads are big and with the chix made fresh and as for the Gyros sandwiches they are big as well enough to fill anyone's stomach for awhile. read more

The food might be great if the kitchen was ever open. This is definitely a gambling joint and not a food joint. What I have had there was extremely greasy and not particularly good. Many places that actually serve food first and foremost are way better and in the neighborhood. read more

Original review from March 2016: This has got to be the most depressing place in Morton Grove. I waited at the counter for a few minutes, watching little old ladies gambling away their social security checks, and no one ever came to take my order. I literally never saw an employee. I also noticed the very limited menu and conclude, as did a previous reviewer, that this really is just a place to play slots and video poker and no longer an eating establishment. Edit added after the snarky reply from Valerie April 2016: Glad to have confirmed that food is no longer really your thing so I won't waste my time stopping in again. But you have got to be kidding me about "screening" your gamblers. Do you think I just fell off a turnip truck? read more

I used to love this place. I would eat lunch (and sometimes dinner) here regularly, sometimes every day. The food and selection was very good... and that's very hard to come by in this town. Unfortunately, the owner seems to care a bit too much about money. Can't fault anyone for that, but she could be a little less two-faced to her customers in the process. Now, I have no moral issue with gambling. In fact, I enjoy it responsibly from time to time and actually go on a large yearly trip to play Blackjack. It's something I actually really enjoy. But please... if I come in to eat lunch, let me eat my lunch in peace. If I say I'm not interested in playing video slots at 11:30AM on a week day, don't incessantly suggest I try them every other visit. Don't wave framed pictures of customer "jackpots" min my face, telling me how much money people are making on them, while simultaneously telling me how profitable the machines have been. You'd think someone would get the hint after the first couple of dozen times. I put up with it because the food was good... but it was becoming increasingly obvious that the food came second to the gambling. read more

I love this place. The owner is a sweetheart and the ambiance is friendly. Their chicken breast on pita is absolutely the best in the Chicago area. read more

This was our pit stop while yardsaling today. It was very bare bones, but clean, and reasonable priced. I like that you can help yourself to free drink refills. Ordered the hot dog special (2 dogs, fries and large drink) for $6.15. Everything was hot & fresh! Will return! read more

I absolutely love this place. Dollar for dollar one of the highest quality and most filling burgers I've ever had. They're still hitting a few hiccups with food availability and sometimes incorrect orders but they jump hurdles to right any wrongs. On food and price alone, 6 out of 5 stars. Good friendly service, hope they stick around. read more

the service here is very nice, friendly staff. the food is solid. also you can get a bottle of beer for 30 cents more than a large soda. pretty incredible. i had lunch on a weekend with my kids. we left happy read more

This place is not closed. I ate there today. Had a double cheeseburger with lettuce and onion. It was tasty. Fries are OK. The one thing that bothers me the most about this place is that when you leave there, you smell like you have been standing in the fryer. There must be ventilation issues. The lady who takes the orders I believe is the owner, she's kind of fun to watch and a little bit of a smart a##. Kind of cool. Can't go back because I don't like smelling like a french fry. read more

To say that this place is a dump is disrespectful to garbage dumps themselves. Never in my life have I seen such horrendous customer service before. The disrespectful "people" taking my order were some of the rudest people I have ever seen in my life. You get treated with more respect in North Korea than you do in this radioactive wasteland. So I order one of the squirrel kidney burgers and an order of goat sticks, which costs around 10 dollars. Expensive. My friend buys an order of goat sticks and also a fountain drink. So me and my friend split the drink. He goes up to get a refill which causes the animal behind the counter to angrily bark out "no refill you a*sholes shared" What? We each bought a meal around 10 dollars and this guy has the audacity to tell my friend he cant get a refill because we shared? No where in this "establishment" does it say you can not get a refill if you share. NO WHERE! He bought it and is guaranteed as many refills as he wants, just like everyone else who purchases a fountain drink. Soda costs about 10 Cents for every 20 Oz and this guy is illegally denying us a refill because we shared? The whole staff should take anger management classes, as this was scandalous. Good going Biggies, you lost 3 once loyal customers. Well actually more than as our very large friend base well never be eating at your restaurant again, and who knows, maybe that will put you out of business! We will now make sure to dine at Barnabys and at McDoanlds, where we will know we are treated with respect and actually receive good food, not your rubish in a plastic basket. Plus we will know that we are slowly killing your "business!" What a great feeling! We all hope you enjoyed saving 3 cents on some Pepsi, as that probably costed hundreds of future dollars from us and now former customers. All the best!
