Fish fry's are every Wednesday and Friday. The portions were large and the price was right. Will definitely revisit this place again.

Any of their bbq sauces are great and pair well, but we highly recommend giving their original a go because of the perfect balance of sweet, savory, with a bit of a kick.

"Old School" customer service, Hospitality and appreciation for our customers is key and loyalty goes both ways friends. I was very interested to try the food here after trying a couple items that were served at a friend's party. I asked to say Hi to the owner as a entrepreneur myself. They said they would be out shortly at my request, being my first time and spending well over $300 to try some of their dishes I was extremely insulted to see that the owner never had the courtesy to say Hello as I waited. In my world, "old school" customer service is success because without customers you have nothing. I also believe that you should always remember where you came from. The food was very pricey for the Area and not worth the disrespect I felt. After this experience I'll stay with Hecky's in Evanston where we are recognized, greeted by name and given a positive everything when I walk in by the owners Daughter, Gigi...RIP Senior. Hecky's is located North Shore with more than fair prices, above par food and traditional style barbecue. Big Ed's is in Waukegan and we paid double plus for the food and a very poor customer service experience ‍ along with overpriced barbecue and sides. I got lots of sauce for not enough barbecue. If I could have cancelled I would have but it was the first time and the last time. I asked one last time "What happened to the owner who was supposedly was going to say Hello?" They said he left through the side door because he was busy. His picture is on a large sign outside and this man was at Aldi when I stopped for apples on the way back home to Arlington Heights. Go to Hecky's in Evanston, Smoque in Chicago, even Joe's Barbecue in Hillside. Good Luck Big Ed!!!

I probably would have picked a different place had I known they didn't have a good local selection at the time. I did order a sandwich which was delicious and was from the restaurant next door.

After dinner we popped into the other side of the bar which is an art gallery and the bartender was so friendly, welcoming and fun! We walked around the art gallery, enjoying the beautiful exhibit and sipped our cocktails for at least an hour. This was such a wonderful experience, we will def be back!

The space has a chic, moody vibe with dark walls, colorful artwork throughout, and plenty of personality. There's also a patio outside, making it a nice option for a summer evening. I could definitely see this being a fun spot for date night or getting together with a group of friends. Quick note if you're planning a visit: Lucky Duck is closed Sunday-Tuesday, so plan accordingly! We had to try their famous Bourbon Slushee -- and YES, it lives up to the hype! Made with Tennessee whiskey, sweet tea, and lemon, it's light, refreshing, and perfect for a summer evening. Definitely a must-try! For food, we ordered the Duck & Bacon Wontons, Teriyaki Beef, and Coconut Shrimp Bao Buns. Coconut Shrimp Bao: My favorite of the dishes we tried. The coconut shrimp paired really well with the sweet chili sauce and scallions. The flavors were nicely balanced, with just enough sweetness from the coconut and chili sauce. Teriyaki Beef: Tender and flavorful, although it was a little on the salty side for my taste. Duck & Bacon Wontons: Flavor was good, but these honestly reminded me a lot of a crab Rangoon. If you're a crab Rangoon fan, you'll probably enjoy these! One other fun detail: Lucky Duck has a gallery next door that doubles as a boutique event venue, which makes this area a fun little spot to check out before or after dinner. Overall, a cute Lake Forest spot with a fun atmosphere, refreshing cocktails, and some unique bites. And that Bourbon Slushee? Don't skip it!

It is counter service so probably best to figure it out online before walking in. I ordered "the classic" with wicked bacon and a side of potatoes. I was feeling experimental today and this was where I went with it. The classic sandwich has an over medium egg with cheddar cheese, their "wicked sauce" (a tomato aioli) and I added the "wicked bacon" which was a sweetened bacon. The flavor contrast of the sauce and the bacon against the brioche bun, egg and cheese make the salty sweet contrast very subtle. The potatoes on the side were lovely. Salty, savory goodness which I wish were a little crispier. It was good. Overall, it was good. The price was a bit of a drag for me though.
