The restaurant is so much bigger and livelier and were so excited to see all of their success. Definitely come early to be able to try their brisket and Tony Mac! You wont regret anything you try but those are defnitely our favorites. Oh and the ribs, if you're looking for the incredible smokey juicy flavor look no further. 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 ordered the 8 piece family pack. Which comes with a whole chicken with green onions and jalapeños and 3 sides. I got rice, mashed potatoes, and extra green onions. Everything is so delicious. It also comes with 4 sauces. 2 red ones and 2 different green ones. My favorite is the lighter green one. It has a little kick but it's still pretty good.

Service was quick, the price was reasonable, and the matcha was perfectly balanced between all ingredients. I was tempted to grab a snack like a pastry or avocado toast for my drive but again was in a bit of a rush and indecisive! This will definitely be a go to coffee/matcha spot when I'm in the area!

Master Sushi may be a misnomer of a name but it still wasn't that bad though. A cheaper option but not crappy flavor. There was actually quite a lot as far as portions. Coming here and finding out there was a drive thru was making us feel uneasy about it. It's got a dining area inside, and you order at the counter covered in big pictures. This for sure wasn't a high end place, but it still ended up having okay taste. Good enough. It's about $8 for a roll. The Avocado Roll is the one for vegetarians. All the others have meat or seafood, which is the one bad thing about it. The roll was good though. Got to say it was better than expected. It's located on Grand Avenue at McCaree. They have a children's menu and one roll okay for vegetarians.
