I ended up stopping here on the way to a friend's and I am so glad I did! Service: 4/5 They were quick and made sure we enjoyed our food! Most people order to-go but I decided to sit in and eat which I highly recommend if it's pretty empty. The place is really small but the service was spectacular and the countertop was clean. My only issue was the cashier thought It was funny that I called it the Pastor. More in a condescending way but I was too hungry to even entertain it lol Food: 5/5 I ordered the taco Al Pastor. It was AMAZING. The meat was seasoned well, the onions and cilantro were fresh and they did not skimp out on the meat. I ate two tacos and was pretty full when I left. Ambiance: 4/5 Like I said the place is pretty small so definitely not for a large group if you want to sit and eat. Otherwise, order to-go you will not be disappointed read more

Good food, pick up available. Food delivery is delivered. Less than 30 minutes. Excellent staff definitely recommended.

Avoid this place at all cost their food made me severely sick. The customer service is horrible the lady in the front always got a bad attitude. This place should be closed down. read more

1st time coming I got steak taco. Al pastor taco. And a bisted taco. Steak taco was ASS. Al pastor taco was sweet Asf. The bisted taco was the best. 2nd time going I order bisted tacos with everything (piko de gallo). Fire. 3rd time going today 1/7, I order the same bisted tacos with everything. I get home open my tacos n these mofos added onions tomatoes n jalapeños. Fucking disgusting. It's sad how you've been waiting to eat bisted tacos all day, you go finally get ur order , get home n open up your tacos to some big ass onions n tomatoes. Last time I ever come here. ***I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND**** read more

The Food was awful the big Al's burger was SO BAD I hated it the Service was bad and the ambiance was ok

1st and last time. Fries were refried and the Italian beef is terrible the meat is not cooked and is very chewy. Waste

I don't know what to say. I had the steak tacos with everything. And I was not wowed. In my own opinion I found that they were to salty. Plus it didn't have the taste I was expecting. And for the rice and beans, the rice was actually pretty good. The beans, just ok in my book. This is a small place. So the seating inside is not the best. It's the true definition of a fast food joint. (Not meant for dining in, just grab and go.) Found it kinda funny, when I finished my order. I turned around and waited for my food. I noticed a letter from the city of Chicago stating you could get sick from uncooked meat / food. And after eating there found myself burping and had to use the restroom facilities within the hour. I will not say the food was not cooked. But just didn't sit right with me I guess. You make your own opinion. But I will not be returning. Nor would I recommend base on my experience. People were nice there. But first time experiences with food last with me. read more

Big Al's is my go to on Grubhub. Their tacos Al Pastor are my favorite thing to order. I also love their philly cheesesteak sandwich, and my bf loves their gyro burger. Their Oreo shake is also very good. The only thing I'll change in my next order, is that I'll order salsa. I'm not sure if tacos and their other mexican food already come with salsa or if I have to order it because sometimes they send some, sometimes they don't. read more

I love this place! Best burgers in Gage Park! Fries could be better but the burger is really good!

Always a great go to for Chicago style hot dogs pizza puffs and gyro. Quick service great customer service and made to order so good here.

Good food. Greasy spoon quality. Only have one complaint. It was just about what I was told by the cashier one day and has stuck with me ever since. It went a little something like this, Me: I love this place because it's close to me job so I can walk here for lunch. Plus, there aren't many of these kind of places around here. Please don't ever leave guys lol Cashier: (Being friendly) Yeah the only other fast food places like this are a little farther south. But that's by all the black people so you never know what could happen there. So, we definitely have this area wrapped up because people are too scared to go by the blacks for this food lol Me: *Awkward weird half smile/ half mouth just hanging open a bit* I turn to my coworker who happens to be white and she said she couldn't believe what she said either. Now I myself am Black. I'm light skinned and constantly get confused for Puerto Rican or Dominican, especially in this area which is predominantly Hispanic/Latino. Maybe she didn't realize who she was talking to but that's besides the point. It was racist, and rude. And because of that reason, I can't give this place the complete 5 stars it deserves for the quality of it's food. An employee can represent the company it works for, With that in mind, one can ASSUME this is how everybody in there thinks...... read more

This is a legit fastfood burger joint. Everything is made after you order, so its all warm. You can tell they kinda cut corners with ingredients, but if you want food its your best bet over McDonalds. Burgers and sandwiches come with fries. I've really only had their burger, gyro, and Italian beef. Staff is meh. They greet you, take your order, then ignore you till the food is done. read more

I shouldn't have done it. Pros: Open late WiFi takes credit Coke in a glass bottle Cons: the food They serve everything from Italian beefs, to 5 packs of hot dogs, tacos, burritos, wings, etc. To their credit the place seems very clean with bright signs and plenty of security cameras. Stopped by for some late night eats, ordered a chicken burrito which didn't taste very good at all. The flour tortilla tasted very processed, the chicken tasted frozen and processed. Anyone who frequents fast food knows that none of this should be a surprise but the appeal of fast food is that something should make up for the fact that you know it's bad for you (like the taste, the place, etc.). The taste of Big Al's food made it quite obvious I was wrecking my body. Hopefully it will improve one day. I didn't know the burrito came with fries. Those were 'meh.' read more

Best gyro burgers and sandwiches in my area! They sell other things that I will have to try such as the chicken sandwiches and tacos.

This place has everything you need! Best of both worlds! Soups are delicious, don't forget to include one! They also stay super hot for quite a while... I don't know about hot dogs but the one I had seemed like it was sitting in the boiling water for a long time. place is very tight. There are tables but they're outside but I always take my food to go. Food is definitely authentic! read more

The bone in hot wings are really juicy! Their service could be a little faster, but I don't mind the wait if I know I'm getting fresh food

When my friend and I are hungry we want a affordable good place to order from glad big al's exists tbh

Sorry forgot pics...the delivery was quick. The French fries were still hot and tasted fresh..ordered my kids corn dogs those were crisp and my youngest ate it all. My Italian beef was full of veggies could of used a little more Mayo and seasoning but it was good. The mozzarella sticks were cheesy and fried nice. My first time eating here overall good experience I would eat there again, next time take pics!! read more

Ordered a chicken salad. Not expecting much other than fresh cut lettuce and decent chicken, I was pleasantly surprised. Chicken was plenty, salad was fresh, and price was good. Will come back read more

Great staff here! Great food too! I always order the supreme steak nachos with the chips in the side. Yes it's weird I know but I treat it like a dip almost! Thanks for accommodating my weird requests! The two hotdog value meal is so worth the $. read more

Do not come here! Placed an order over and the phone cashier was very arrogant, unprofessional, ignorant, she didn't know the menu. When I got the order delivered to the office I didn't get my drinks again. I try giving this establishment a second try first time I order didn't get my drinks, pay about 3.50 the drinks and just left it alone thinking they were having a bad day or whatever. But I was wrong. The food? nothing special, greasy and flavorless. read more

This place is awesome! Food is great, real deal chicago. The polish is real maxwell, and the burgers are delicious, same price as fast food, but better quality and flavor, and the portion is big too. The best part is that everything comes with fries! Freshly made too. I recommend coming here, it definitely beats the tastee freeze that used to be here by a longshot! read more

I've ordered several times from this place and not one complaint from me yet. Everytime I have gotten something different so I don't get stuck on one thing. Recently I got the steak fries minus the cheese which I don't like and O couldn't stop eating them. Personally I would of prefer the fries to be thicker like before but I still enjoyed them regardless. My husband likes the torta al pastor. My fave has been the burger... Will continue to go back to this place. read more

After a few months break, things seem to be moving a lot smoother here. I'm glad to say my previous issues have been resolved and the service is much, much better here than it used to be. Great place for fast, greasy and delicious food. There's not much space to eat on the inside, but they have a few tables outside if you wish to eat at the establishment. read more

Not worth the hassle. They mess up our order every time and the dumb ass girl at the counter is either deaf or dumb. She was too busy flirting with the damn guys from the bar that were in there that she couldn't even take my order right. When I come back to fix it she acted all confused and like she wasn't going to fix HER MISTAKE. Literally kept trying to tell me what I said and then she just stood there looking crazy, saying stuff under her breath and in Spanish. read more

Great philly cheesesteak. Pretty good burgers. Fries are meh. Park on the street when you come.

It's good but should change your times if you're not gonna be open. Your times say open till 1130pm and cook says it's closed. Wtf lol

Definitely worth the quick stop and it's better than your average fast food place. The Italian beef and Sausage are good and the burgers aren't bad. The cheese fries are very good and as long as you're willing to wait the milkshakes are too. The staff is friendly and bilingual which helps if you don't speak Spanish. Overall they have a fan in me. read more

Great place for some all-round great tasting chicago food. Cheese steak fries are the best. You can get an awesome burger for a great price. They are open all night and they even have bananna splits! Good customer service and for the time it takes, and what it costs your getting high quality food! A must try! read more

Chicken fingers are good. Burgers too. Real Chicago style dogs minus the celery salt.. I love gyros sandwich, but when I had it there, they put the toppings ON THE BOTTOM, next to the pita. What a mess! The tomato was smashed into mush. Otherwise, plenty of meat. Overall, good fast food reasonably priced. AND FREE FRIES! read more
