10 stars if i could!!! brisket melts in your mouth!!! tri tips are dripping with flavor!!! and you can walk up to the window and ask for samples!!! hand cut french fries & homemade mac & cheese!! rocco is the bomb over and above friendly & accommodating as are all the staff!!! every single one of them!! we were in from ohio and virginia to watch our granddaughter/niece who has qualified in the top 1% of irish dancers in the world for the 2026 world's irish dance competition in schaumburg and could not have found a better lunch than here! for real-we would return again and again if we could. free refills on the homemade orange lemonade, which is perfectly sweetened / not too sweet and not too acidic. do not ever pass a chance at this one!!

I recommend going to Big Anges Eatery. There food is awesome and so is the portioning size, it's the right amount and the customer service is awesome they are so friendly there. I give them 10 stars.

The food is good and fresh... I got a salad and a taste of delicious It's a Walkup counter where you order and pick up your food right down the counter. It was quick service. The place has a music theme. It's clean and presentable.

What a rip off! Ordered small beef, dipped hot, cheese fries and drink $24? If I would have ordered it through DoorDash I would have gotten the large beef for the same amount. Can't believe I got suckered to driving an hour for a sandwich that was gone in eight bites. When I brought it to the cashier's attention he said "that's what it is and why did I bring up DoorDash?" Won't bother with a return visit. Beef was decent but no heat and very little peppers for the extra buck. Fries were very soggy.

Sandwich fill out my bag so

I tried a restaurant near my house that serves a popular chicken sandwich called Rokko Pollo. I ordered two sandwiches for $41.05, which didn't include fries. The cashier accidentally gave me a bigger sandwich and charged me for it. When I asked them to cut the sandwich in half, the juices spilled and the sandwich fell out of my bag when I got home. Probably won't stop at this place again. No greeting or nothing. I really had high hopes for this place.

St. Louis Ribs
Annemarie D.

You order at the counter and then wait for your name to be called. I ordered the ribs and coleslaw. I added the blackberry habanero hot sauce and it made the ribs even better. I regret not buying some of their hot sauce to go. Despite not having table service, the employees walked around the dining room and checked on everyone. After seeing what other diners ordered I definitely want to go back and try more. I didn't love the coleslaw but overall Ange's is still 5 stars.

Barbarian Platter
Kelly D.

Big Ange's Eatery delivers not only on flavor but on hospitality. From the moment we arrived, the service stood out -- genuinely welcoming and generous. Since it was our first visit, a staff member quickly offered samples of their incredible smoked brisket and suggested the Barbarian Platter, which features a variety of smoked meats. We chose mac n cheese for the side which was delicious. The food was excellent across the board, but what really made this a 5-star experience was the way the team went above and beyond. Even after guests had ordered and paid, they continued offering samples of meat and their refreshing homemade orange lemonade. That kind of attention and care really makes an impression. Solid food, standout service -- worth every visit.

1/2 lb. Smoked Pastrami
Michelle F.

Big Ange's Eatery is nothing short of some serious smoked meats and delicious flavors packed into everything they make on a daily basis! We ordered a variety of items and would give them all 10/10! Beef brisket, ribs, smoked pastrami and chicken wings were all tender and flavor heaven all the way through. The meat is lean with just enough fat to keep it moist. Although their sauces were authentically delicious, in my opinion you didn't need any of them as the flavors in the meats were the showstoppers! The food was so good, we went back up to the counter and ordered the eggplant sandwich which was excellent. I counted at least 5 layers of very lightly breaded eggplant, cheese on a light fluffy bun with a beautiful tomato sauce. Onion straws and Mac n cheese were perfect accompaniments. Nice casual atmosphere and caring staff topped this place off as a #1 choice in my books for smoked meats. Big Ange's is the go to place for bbq, good eats and comfort food!

Half pound brisket sandwich.
Peter M.

Got the half pound brisket sandwich and it was huge. I could have easily made another half sandwich. The sandwich and the BBQ sauce were both good. I saw someone eating the fries and I'll have to try those next time.

How did it…read moreturn out, let's find out: Ambiance The Sratchboard kitchen has a bright and welcoming decor. The lighten in the place was warm. And the music seemed similar to a club beat but not obnoxiously loud. Service The service was great. Our server gave us some recommendations and the staff seemed pretty nice. The food itself did not take too long to come out. Also, when there was a mistake with one of the orders, it was taken care of without any issues. Food Fried potatoes This was a recommended side. The potatoes themselves were crispy with a fluffy middle. It came with a spicy mayo type of dipping sauce which tasted good other than the fact that dipping the potatoes in it did not really get that much sauce on them. I would recommend this side dish. French onion grilled cheese The French onion grilled cheese is a very tasty dish. It has the sweetness of the caramelized onion and nice cheese pull. It is a rich dish so eating cause food fatigue. We got it with bacon. It was good but not really necessary. Crispy chicken sandwich This is the chicken sandwich seen on tiktok. The cutlet is thick and it was fried with a light coating. The chicken sandwich was juicy. I think mine might have needed a little more seasoning (my own preference). Overall The scratchboard kitchen is a nice place to go and have a bite to eat. It has a nice array of food and drink options. I would recommend at least trying the food and enjoying the ambiance and service.

We ordered some drinks (no one got alcohol) and some appetizers. We got the Low Carb Yuka Fries and while that is not my bag, they were good. I was pleasantly surprised. We also had the roasted red pepper spread, which everyone enjoyed. Two of us ordered the Ultimate Steak Sandwich. I opted to removed the caramelized onions. The other person let them on. I also removed the garlic herb sauce but replaced it with a chimichurri sauce. That really kicked it up a notch and was good for dipping the fries in. They're fresh cut fries, so they were good on their own, but the chimichurri again kicked it up a notch. We also ordered the chicken bowl, the avocado salad, and the Greek style lamb chops. We all loved our food and were too full for dessert. It's a quaint little place, cozy for intimate conversation or a night out with family and friends. I think the night was made a little more fun when a couple came in and was seated at a counter height table and were making out all night. It was a lot and gratuitous. The table next to them were visibly uncomfortable and that made it all the more enjoyable to witness. Dinner and a show. Who knew?

This was my first visit to Which Wich and I was a little overwhelmed by the bags on the wall (you're supposed to mark which wich you choose with a sharpie). Instead I went up to the register and was walked back to the bags. Too many choices so I selected a tuna wich and fries. I waited quite some time. I was expecting a quick turnaround like at Subway or Potbelly's. No, your food is prepared behind a barrier and you were supposed to mark the toppings you wanted on the bag. It was about 20 minutes at which time I decided to take my food to go. I had a dr appointment so I took my wich into the office with me (didnt wanna leave a tuna wich in a 100 degree car). I carried my bright yellow which wich bag into the waiting room. The wich was ok, nothing spectacular. I prefer the tuna sandwich at other establishments. I wouldn't order the fries again. Next time I would examine the menu in advance so I could select which wich.

When I entered Which Wich I grabbed a sandwich bag and filled in my order. This was new to me but I was able to figure it out and ordered successfully. An employee also explained this to me. Because I wanted to try everything I could, I ordered a French Dip sandwich, French fries, milkshake, and cookie. The sandwich was fine, a little better than your average sandwich shop sandwich but not super memorable. The French fries were really good and I enjoyed the skinnier fries. The milkshake was again ok but not great. The cookie, I thought, was the best thing I had from Which Wich. The food was average but what was really shocking was the price. This meal was $25.02. This was really expensive. A dinner for two would cost over $50! This caused me not to want to go back. It makes it really difficult to take a family here for food. For adequate food and really high prices, I cannot recommend Which Wich!

There's also discrepancy in their menu and what they actually have available as it seems they also display items for the the cafe next door. We happened to arrive during happy hour so some menu items were discounted. They also have a complimentary salad bar. We ordered chicken karaage, potstickers, salmon avocado sushi, and I had the katsu sandwich. All the food items we ordered came separately over a span of 20+ minutes, with the sandwich arriving last and cold. Not only did the sandwich come on a cold sourdough bread, the meat also had an unusual texture and so I ended up throwing it out. The other items we ordered were lacking in flavor. The chicken karaage was prepared well but it had no flavor. I'm regret spending money at this establishment.

If customers are waiting before the restaurant opens, you know that you are in for a treat, right?…read moreI mean, this was our first time to Uma Japan Eatery (didn't know it was formerly Ramen USA) and we were a little confused when we arrived because there was signage for Uma, Ramen USA, and M Cafe. So we got out of the car and saw someone pull up in front of the restaurant and jump out at 11:59. As soon as the door was unlocked at 12pm, this customer went in, and a few others after them. This is a small joint, and it was already half full by the time we ordered, then sat down (they told us the table at which to sit). I didn't know, but asked, and found out that a salad bar and miso soup are also included. The salad bar was pretty decent, with fresh vegs. They even had French fried onions (my guilty pleasure) and a very good House dressing (ginger vinaigrette). The portions are enormous. The couple next to us got ramen, and it was practically overflowing. We ordered takoyaki (too much food, we didn't need). I had the Pork Katsu bowl and my companion had a Katsu curry. I wished I had ordered the curry -- it looked dark and rich and thick like pudding (not like a boxed curry). They also gave us a bonus piece of chicken karaage which was so large and crispy. I think I'll get the curry next time, or the ramen. We originally came because we were going to get a karaage sando, but get the curry.
