We were excited about Big Norms. We moved to Waukegan and like hot dog joints. Here's our…read moreexperience: 1) Adequate hamburger. Nothing special. 2) Gamey italian sausage with "lumpy" texture. Ordered sweet and hot. The sweet peppers were microscopic. Bun-no texture--supermarket quality. This is a signature thing in Chicago but not here--mushy. 3) Wanted onion straws per their website. Not available. 4) Cashier was miserable--no small, nor personality. Over charged me! Told me it's automatic! I have no problem tipping when a waitress comes to my table. I'm obviously handicapped and I had to walk up to the counter, place the order, and then when the order is ready, I had to somehow out, juggle it to bring it back to my table. NO TRAYS! 35 bucks for two sandwiches some onion rings and a couple of soft drinks. Never again. There's better in town. I see no reason to return.

Hot dog was good I think it was deep fried like other places the bun was good. The Italian beef…read morehad a strange flavor I'm thinking it was Tajin but maybe wrong definitely different from others. I would get the deep fried hotdog again.

My first time having a Chicago style cheesesteak hoagie and I was very impressed! I've had Chicago…read morestyle hotdogs before (once went on a hunt for "the best") and cheesesteaks, but I've never had the 2 together. My hoagie was full of delicious and perfectly cooked steak, full of seasonings, oil and mayo making it slightly wet like I like (I love my sandwiches saucy). The bread was tender yet sturdy enough to hold all the wet goodness, and to my surprise, the onions weren't overpowering. I was tempted to save half of my sandwich for later that day, but it was so good I ate it all in one setting. Unfortunately my waffle fries were non-edible. They were all fried way too hard and crunchy like rocks which was disappointing. The service was quick and extremely friendly! Since they were out of curly fries they gave me a few extra waffle fries (just wished they weren't cooked extra hard!) and I was offered an iced water cup for the road on a 92 degree day!!! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area and maybe even give the fries another try!

Went in for a burger and we ended up ordering the grilled chicken club and the Italian beef and…read moresplitting them between us. The grilled chicken club was delicious and beautifully seasoned and the Italian beef was also delicious. I particularly liked that none of the food was overly salty--often a problem with Italian beef. I liked that the bread for both sandwiches was soft but toasted and was really fresh. The place was spotless and the service was good. We got fries with one order and the homemade chips with the other. Both were very good but the chips were thicker than I expected and a surprise standout. I wish I had room for one of their ice cream desserts as they looked really good. We will go back here

I ordered takeout on a weekday and service was pretty fast. The employees are nice. I was really…read morelooking forward to a delicious burger and wings moment but this was not it. The reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because it's extremely mediocre. I was sad that I did not like any of the food here since I saw so many 5 star ratings but it truly tastes like frozen grocery store quality. I think they could improve by adding better flavor to the food and making it more fresh.

If you're looking for some good ole American food with a scrumptious shake, check out Sammie's!…read more They're totally underrated. I love their shakes and they have a bunch of options. I've tried a pineapple coconut one and a raspberry one. Both were fantastic. I've also had a chicken gyro, hot dog, and their beef/sausage combo. Everything was delicious and I would definitely reorder.

Basic sub place in Lake Villa for those looking for cheap ass food. It unfortunately isn't that…read morecheap however. Sammie's only has the cheap taste it seems. Mostly subs, but there's some other things to get. There's fries, gyros, hot dogs, and greasy slop like this. A lot like an independent version of Subway but not as good. In fact it's a pale imitation. The atmosphere is pretty depressing, and it's not exactly clean inside, explaining why so many customers get takeout. It's about $9 for a Veggie Sub, pretty high. Just has the basic vegetables. It's nothing special at all. This may be the healthiest thing on the menu to be honest. Has lots to get as far as sandwiches of course. It's just not that impressive to be honest. There could be improvement for quality.

It had been awhile since my last visit. Not their fault but mine, my travel schedule changed…read more Since my last visit they had a fire and were closed for several months. My dogs in this visit were just fair as they were luke warm and got lost in the bun which was also just fair. I used to look forward to stopping in for a hotdog but today's trip, didn't leave me with that feeling of wanting to to return for a hotdog special. Fries were ok as was the fountain drink, but the dogs were fair at best.

You get what you came for. Chicago style perfection…read more Came for lunch, ordered through the drive thru. Took less than 10 minutes beginning to end even though the line was to the entrance of the drive thru. My hot dog was perfect, exactly as I hope. Chicago style comfort. The onion rings were crispy and fresh. No notes.

For a decent hotdog, hamburger/sandwich. Basically your run-of-the-mill hot dog stand/fast food…read moreit'll work. It just depends on the time when you come. It seems the later that you are the food there is older. So I would recommend getting there for an early lunch to get the fresh items especially the fries. Even though it is "cooked", (later on) it just seems that the fry oil and everything else is overused by the end of the day so you may get that old oil aftertaste... Other than that, it's OK. It can be hit or miss depending on when you show up. Just my opinion... sometimes it's 4 stars, sometimes you are eating your food thinking, "Why?" Good Luck
