    Perfect for date night or family dinners!! This review should've been written months ago. But, with two little kids and work, we haven't been going out to eat as much as we'd like. We finally made it to Gus' on our anniversary night. And in true Mike and Ashley fashion, we brought our kids with! We were promptly seated by the friendly staff. The menu options all looked delicious and the kids meals are a great deal: $7 for an entree, side, drink, and gelato. Ashley ordered the Southwest Chicken Salad and I got the Cajun Grilled Chicken Sandwich with fries ($10). Everything was delicious. The fries and house made potato chips were so good as well. To top off the meal, we were treated to two anniversary desserts: key lime pie and chocolate cake. Easily the best chocolate dessert I have ever eaten. Unbelievably good. The key lime pie was also delicious, but didn't compare to the chocolate cake. Extremely tasty food, friendly service, great prices, and close to home. We will be back!!!

    Came here for lunch on a break from work. As soon as I got inside noticed it was nice and clean and updated interior. The staff greeted me with a smile and walked me to my table. Service was kind and prompt. The potato soup was delicious and the calamari was so tender and light. I saw that it had nice little seating area outside. A full bar and variety of options to dine from.

    Cute place with a great menu and great service. Kind of hidden from the road but not hard to find. Nice mix of Greek and American food.

    Said it was open and when we got there it wasn't. Very frustrating. The online information was incorrect. Seems like an easy update.

    Very reasonably priced and tasty food. Attentive service. When food was delayed, they made it up with great deserts. We'll be back.

    Not a fan of the food, employees are rude, service is slow even tho the place is empty, and the food is tasteless. Not worth it.

I been to Big Ed's when he had the smaller place and every time I pass by Waukegan my vehicle has a lock on Big Ed's to go eat. EVERYTHANG I tries there so far was delicious. Meaty ribs made my mouth water, the burnt ends were fire, all the sides I tried were terrific SPECIALLY that BBQ Tony Macaroni I call BBQ Ice Cream!!!!!! Only thang bad about goin' to Big Ed's BBQ ius you have to leave at some point!!!!! For all the folks that complain in his reviews either you are gettin' paid by his competition, jealous your Mom can';t cook like this when you grew up or you are from the UK and can';t handle seasonin'.

    Always hits the spot! We used to frequent their old restaurant across the way and now that they've…read moreopened up their new location we had to check it out. 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.

I went here with a group of 5 via a reservation. We were immediately welcomed and greeted by a wonderful host who sat us and explained the menu options and recommended we try everything. We did just that we tried over half the menu and everything was incredible. Highly recommend the deviled eggs, brussel sprouts, bao buns, spicy edamame, udon noodles and more. After dinner we popped into the other side of the bar which is an art gallery and the bartender was so friendly, welcoming and fun! We walked around the art gallery, enjoying the beautiful exhibit and sipped our cocktails for at least an hour. This was such a wonderful experience, we will def be back!

The space has a chic, moody vibe with dark walls, colorful artwork throughout, and plenty of personality. There's also a patio outside, making it a nice option for a summer evening. I could definitely see this being a fun spot for date night or getting together with a group of friends. Quick note if you're planning a visit: Lucky Duck is closed Sunday-Tuesday, so plan accordingly! We had to try their famous Bourbon Slushee -- and YES, it lives up to the hype! Made with Tennessee whiskey, sweet tea, and lemon, it's light, refreshing, and perfect for a summer evening. Definitely a must-try! For food, we ordered the Duck & Bacon Wontons, Teriyaki Beef, and Coconut Shrimp Bao Buns. Coconut Shrimp Bao: My favorite of the dishes we tried. The coconut shrimp paired really well with the sweet chili sauce and scallions. The flavors were nicely balanced, with just enough sweetness from the coconut and chili sauce. Teriyaki Beef: Tender and flavorful, although it was a little on the salty side for my taste. Duck & Bacon Wontons: Flavor was good, but these honestly reminded me a lot of a crab Rangoon. If you're a crab Rangoon fan, you'll probably enjoy these! One other fun detail: Lucky Duck has a gallery next door that doubles as a boutique event venue, which makes this area a fun little spot to check out before or after dinner. Overall, a cute Lake Forest spot with a fun atmosphere, refreshing cocktails, and some unique bites. And that Bourbon Slushee? Don't skip it!
