    The food was really tasty! Got the catfish, green beans and Mac and cheese ( a little too cheesy for me). But I had to give three stars due to wait time and customer service. when you place an order at 1:00pm and told it will be ready in 45 mins and you are waiting an additional 65 mins after your time that's insane. So two hours for 4 entrees. Cannot give a quote on when the food will be ready. The young lady working the front was sweet but I cannot return based on that alone. If you do plan on attending be prepared for the long wait.

    It's a really small place but it's cute! There were 10 of us who were in desperate need of some soul food so we decided to give this place a try! They were very nice but they were out of several items. They were out of greens lobster tails, and the seafood rice. I was a little disappointed because I really wanted the fried lobster tail and the greens. I ordered the catfish and it was not that good. Hence the four stars. They fried the fish very hard to the point where it was dry. Also I don't like only cornmeal for a breading. I think it needed a little flour in there. But even if it was just the corn meal. It was fried too hard and it dried out the fish. The shrimp were very good and the mac & cheese was on point. They do not serve alcohol so it's BYOB. We ran down the street to the CVS and got some beer and coolers. Parking might be a problem, so be prepared to park in the alley. Overall, we all enjoyed ourselves and everyone else enjoyed their meals. I just did not care for my catfish. My brother loved the pot roast and my other Girlfriend really enjoyed the cabbage and the string beans.

    Met some friends here on a Saturday afternoon. There is really no available parking lot so you have to park in the alley or on the side street. Dining area is small but we were able to get a table for four upon arrival. There is a wait for the food since it is cooked to order which is fine, The temperature inside was very warm and made it a little uncomfortable. They have you pay after you order your food which was different for a dine restaurant. The food is served in Styrofoam containers in preparation for needing to take any leftovers. The only recommendation for this would be to line the containers with parchment paper for the fried food items. My friend had a hole iburned n her container of fried catfish that was hot. The container my sister had was also melting from her fried chicken wings and my container had imprints of the fried shrimp I had ordered. The fried shrimp were good, but I was disappointed in the portion and size The shrimp were not what I expected from what I saw on their website. There were 8 shrimp and they come with two sides. My bill was $37. The mac n cheese and fresh cut fries were excellent, but the cost of the meal was overpriced. I would have expected to pay $20-$25. I would definitely go back for the sides.

    As a fellow former Chicagoan, I came in hoping for the flavors I grew up with. Unfortunately, Big Bacons missed the mark for me. They do get a point for cooking to order, which I appreciate. I ordered the fried chicken wings with double mac and cheese as my sides. But let's talk about those wings... Every Chicagoan knows fried chicken wings = whole wings. What I got were party wings, and while I'll own that I should've asked to confirm, I did check Yelp photos beforehand and saw at least one showing whole wings. That wasn't the worst part, though. The wings looked like they were those pre-breaded and pre-frozen, and the breading was way too heavy. It was also either the heavy breading or they were jumbo-sized. Either way, I didn't enjoy them, I couldn't even eat them. Now for the bright spot: the mac and cheese was creamy, cheesy, and comforting, this side dish actually reminded me of home. That's where Big Bacons earns its second star. If I return, it'll be for the mac and cheese. But if you're looking for true Chicago-style wings, this might not be the spot.

    Food was great... I like my mac n cheese a lil loose goosy... Yams whr on point... Instead of mac & cheese next time, I'll probably just try the cornbread ... 25 bucks a plate...wud of liked more food... maybe I'm being greedy? 7$- banana pudding...wud of liked more...I think it was tooo small... Server was nice but brought the digital (pay thing) a lil early... just started eating.... Didn't even finish our food yet....that was a first?? Lol ...no biggie.... Server was very young...was very nice...just needs a lil more experience.... :) Overall....2 pple=$77....$23$-tip...wud of liked a "thnx u" but by 5pm place was PACKED n she was busy...so I wasn't trippin... :) Wud luv to come bck but was pretty expensive...... Probly be back! Need to support our PEEPS

    We waited one hour and fifteen minutes for our meal. Inconsistent pricing: The Seafood Rice was listed as $14.99 on the menu, but the digital payment machine showed a price of $15.99. Similarly, the whole wings were listed as $24.99, which I asked although it's unclear I received 6 party wings, I would not have ordered party wings at that price Lack of staff knowledge: While friendly, the server wasn't adequately familiar with the menu, potentially leading to the pricing inconsistencies and impacting overall experience.

    I think this place was good. I loveddd the cabbage it was so good and flavorful! The sweet potatoes weren't my favorite but my cousin enjoyed them. The catfish was good and fried hard like I like it. I really wished they had tartar sauce because that's mandatory for fish lol but the food was good. The music was really good and the vibes were super chill. The only thing that's weird to me is that they come to your table and take your order, but you pay as soon as you order. Thats a different considering we ate in, but I'd come back when I come to town again.

    First time going to this place! My dad asked me to come and try it because he saw a video on Instagram so I came, the service was great they informed me about everything in the menu even the things they did not have in that moment. The wait time was pretty long but it was definitely worth it. The food tasted absolutely phenomenal and i would gladly come here again. The environment inside the restaurant is a bit small but it give a home like environment which makes you feel comfortable.

    Pros: The service was really good. The team was kind. Food was delicious, ambience and renovation of the house is cute. Very seasoned. Apple Pay, cash and card accepted. Parking is meh, but our car was safe. Next time I'll sit outside. Bathrooms were clean. Cons: HOWEVER...the wait was excruciating and long. Over two hours for two plates. Then they ran out of items we ordered. I appreciate the running out, for real, that means things are good. Kool Aid-wow, sweet, cut with water. Next time we will sit outside. They take payments before they bring your food. Suggestion: order ahead even if you're dining in. Don't go hungry. Enjoy yourself and be kind. They are working as fast as they can in the back. Be gracious. Tip in cash to reduce the electronic fees.

    Most items on the menu were sold out. It took us well over 2 hrs to get our food never again! I hope they last

We each ordered a pizza but they took almost 45 minutes to arrive, my friend had a simple pepperoni while I had the truffle. The pizzas were ok but at $21 each they weren't worth the wait. When the bill was brought to our table I asked for it to be split by person since my friend an I were paying separately but the staff member split the bill in half so I ended up having to partially pay for my friend's drinks (they ordered something while we were waiting for the pizzas). It's not a big deal but the staff member was like "ok sure" and promptly ignored my request. There was also a 3% credit card surcharge so that was kind of annoying. I left a small tip but that was being generous. I wanted to go to the pub mextdoor but my friend convinced me that we should go here instead. I won't be making a return visit.

    These wings are fire!!…read more Was grabbing a pizza at another restaurant and I had to get some wings with it. So I stopped at ATL WINGS on Roosevelt. We were quickly greeted as soon as we entered. It was our first time so we asked some questions and received some suggestions from the worker. We ordered a 24 piece and fries. With the 24 piece you can get up to 4 different flavors. So we went with HOT, an equivalent to a classic Buffalo wing, Chef Special, Lemon Pepper, and SPICY ATL. If you can't handle spicy, stay away from SPICY ATL. Its super hot but so good! The place is casual. You order at the counter and then sit at a table and wait for your order. There are plenty of tables throughout to choose from. The wings were good, meaty, and juicy. The service was great! The fries were a little soggy for my liking. ATL Wing, we'll definitely see you again!
