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.

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'.

I highly recommend the French Tickler (drink)

We came by for some ice cream after dinner and with it being our first time we weren't sure what to…read moreexpect. When we walked in it was total chaos with 4 different lines, some folks waiting to order food, some waiting on take out and others just not sure what to do. We had about 10 people cut in front of us to order ice cream because we weren't sure and they just kept helping people next to us. After about 20 minutes of waiting we finally got our orders only to be totally shocked that each cone with 1 small scoop of ice cream was about $7 each. When the ice cream didn't even fill the cone. We should've just gotten a point for that price since the pint was $8.50. The ice cream was really good, but perhaps we'll try an off time where it's not full of people to visit 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!

A lack of good places around it certainly helps it. You can get a few healthier bar food options. Chill place when it's early. It's kind of far from a lot of other things, so it's mostly the same few regulars. There's Bob And Anne's close by, but that closes early though. Good prices. It's about $5 to get well whiskey. Food is actually amazing for a bar. There's even a few vegetarian options. It's about $8 for a Beyond Burger. This comes with potato chips or another side. Of course there's plenty of traditionally greasy stuff to get. There's pizza and wings that are popular. Good stuff as far as what to get in a bar. It's located on Greenwood as you can tell by the name obviously. There's slots and plenty of TVs, so it's got lots of entertainment, and there's food options for vegans and vegetarians.

Whether you're eating something as filling as a 'pound burger' or getting your own customized shake flavor, Poppys never disappoints! The inferno wings are, hands down, the BEST breaded wings in lake county. They are crunchy, spicy, goodness and they are one of my go-to items on the menu. Poppys is extremely cheap for the amount of food you receive. Everything comes with regular fries and you got it - no extra charge! Try getting a hamburger with fries at McDonald's - they'll look at you like you're crazy! But, guess what? Poppys has exactly that! If you haven't had them before, you have no clue what you're missing!

We got the Cali burger which had avocado and bacon and I'm forgetting the name now but one with a fried egg and bacon. The buns on the burger were so good (I think they're brioche buns from Turano) - soft with a good bite. And the loaded fries we got were also delicious with green onions, bacon bits, cheese, and some sour cream. I learned that the fries are made in-house not bought frozen and pre-cut. Next time, I would just get regular fries bc they're so good as is! Would love to go back to try the smoothies. Everything seems to be made with care and quality at Twisted Burger and can't wait to go back.

We came back to try new things!…read more Superman regular size milkshake-- tastes like cotton candy! Creamy and light throughout even after sitting in the fridge. El Zorro burger-- this was really good. There's a beef patty under the chorizo, so the chorizo flavor wasn't overpowering. Sauce is also not overpowering and not greasy. The large fries is definitely pretty large. The cuts are of potato without additional coating before frying so the flavor is of potato itself and added seasoning afterwards. I prefer it this way since the oil soaked ones are soft and delicious, but my kiddos prefer more crispy and crunchy end pieces. The Baja fish naan is still our favorite. Because of the loaded fresh veggies. Would come back to this local POC owned establishment to try more of their shakes and burgers!

We traveled here for my brother's Navy graduation and his one request was burgers. This place had 12 listed on the menu so I knew it was the place.

The restaurant has great indoor and outdoor seating. And an arcade for any one who is a big kid at heart. Day 1 of the trip and we are already planning our next stop in!

Absolutely recommended with 5 stars!…read more I heard about this restaurant from TikTok as it is rated the #1 restaurant in Lake County, and now I see why! We stopped in for some lunch. We were greeted by owner Marlene, who is absolutely wonderful. We placed our order and got some fresh lemon water. I ordered the lunch special Chicken and Gyro plate, and he ordered the Lamb Kabob Plate. While we waited for the food, we chatted with Marlene, and we were given some baklava (love that stuff). My goodness, the aroma coming from my plate was so good. The meats were cooked to perfection, and the vegetables were just right. He told Marlene that was not his first choice for food, but this meal changed his mind. The pitas and sauces were delicious as well. The presentation is nice, and portion sizes are large. I brought some home. I feel so bad because I forgot to tip, which is crazy for us. But, this just means we have to return soon and give a large tip. Don't skip trying this place.
