Fast service, good value, mild flavor. The good news is that it is run by Chinese people, but I…read morebelieve they have toned down their cooking to suit an American palate. The Cantonese noodles with char sui pork suffered from noodles that were partially stiff and partially soft. The char sui pork was okay in flavor, but would have benefited from a longer marinade. The green beans and pork was cooked just right, but lacked any distinguishable flavor. It should have more of a garlicy soy sauce aroma, but it was pretty plain. If you're feeding kids, it's a good deal.

Just delicious! We thank them all for their southern hospitality!!! We will definitely be returning!

I had a rib tip dinner, which came with 2 sides, and purchased an extra side of green beans (which…read morewas $6.99!!!!!!). My total was just over $30, which is absurd; particularly since the ribs were on the tougher side - almost as if they were reheated.

When I first moved to the area, I was ecstatic that I found a place like "home" but tonight was the…read morebiggest disappointment ever. I would not be supporting this establishment again. It's more downs than ups. This evening I ordered a catfish dinner x 2 at $22 each. The results were a singular catfish filet split in half (each piece was from a different one) with a few fries. I drove over 50 mins round trip and going forward, I'd rather sit in traffic going into the city or cook it myself (I was too lazy tonight). Thank God, I had spaghetti to offset the fries

We were excited about Big Norms. We moved to Waukegan and like hot dog joints. Here's our…read moreexperience: 1) Adequate hamburger. Nothing special. 2) Gamey italian sausage with "lumpy" texture. Ordered sweet and hot. The sweet peppers were microscopic. Bun-no texture--supermarket quality. This is a signature thing in Chicago but not here--mushy. 3) Wanted onion straws per their website. Not available. 4) Cashier was miserable--no small, nor personality. Over charged me! Told me it's automatic! I have no problem tipping when a waitress comes to my table. I'm obviously handicapped and I had to walk up to the counter, place the order, and then when the order is ready, I had to somehow out, juggle it to bring it back to my table. NO TRAYS! 35 bucks for two sandwiches some onion rings and a couple of soft drinks. Never again. There's better in town. I see no reason to return.

I wanted to love this spot, but it's definitely far from perfect. The place itself is bigger than…read moreit looks which makes dine in an actual option. Unfortunately it's not very clean... so that's not a very appealing choice. Dirty tables, sticky floor, empty boxes strewn about. It doesn't show much care for the business, which is a huge red flag. They have a very limited menu and it's not very logical. We had the broasted chicken, a two piece, and the number 2 meal. So the broasted chicken was good. The piece weren't as big as I would have liked but had good flavor and doneness. The tender that came with my meal was quite good, the spice level was accurate for my heat level choice which is hard to achieve. It was a bit on the salty side. The slider... first of all this is not a slider, it's basically a full sized chicken sandwich. It was overdone. Good flavor but tough. The fries were fine, nothing special but not bad. They have pictures on the wall that don't represent their actual food. I always hate when businesses use these generic stock photos. They even have a poster for a latte they don't actually have on the menu. Everything was made fresh at least, it didn't take too long to come out but it was obviously prepared to order. If they would clean up a bit and work on their inconsistencies I could see ordering here regularly, but as it stands I won't be back for a while.

They must either mix their own mild sauce or have it made just for Hillery's because it wasn't some cheap, off the shelf crap just to marginally fit a function. I wish I'd have known ahead of time so I could have gotten more (someone made a lunch run since there is no delivery). I don't really have words for the rib tips other than OH MY F****** GAWD! How the heck does someone have rib tips that meaty, that dense, that tender? Even reheated, they rock!

Inside, it's nothing fancy. You pretty much place your order at the counter and wait around for your food. No tables or chairs to sit at, so basically it's just a takeout place. Looks like they do cater as they have different sized pans on display for you to see how much food it can fit for your party size. I was craving some bbq and some sides such as Mac n cheese and collard greens and was disappointed that they did not carry either or. Their main sides were fries, coleslaw, and fried okra from what I can remember. I decided to go with the rib tips dinner. I ordered the extra large portion as I was going to share with the hubby. Took about 15 minutes for my food to be ready, so not bad. It came with fries, coleslaw, and 2 pieces of bread for a total of $20. The rib tips were 'aight. The meat was a little tough to chew and not falling off the bone as I normally like. Also, they were cut in huge chunks and not really in bite sized pieces. The sauce was okay but it did not really blow me away and neither did the coleslaw. The fries were pretty bland as well and could have used some more salt or seasoning. It didn't even come with ketchup in my carry out bag. Overall it was meh. I still would like to try their wings some other time and see how that goes.
