“We are from WI and found Big Ed's because it was close to the hotel we stayed at. Unfortunately they we out of a few favorites but we found others and all 3 meals were outstanding. I had a full rack of ribs which were amazing and the wings were just as good. Service was great and super friendly...every employee was helpful and had smiles on their faces. Love the mom and pop local family business and already planning trips back to try the favorites they were out of as well as past the word on to everyone we know that loves BBQ. Well worth the hour drive!“

“Stopped by for the first time today after heading back home from a Wisconsin trip with my family and the BBQ was superb (Used to live in TN too!), but what really made it for me today was the service from the folks here, in particular, Kat! She was extremely kind to my whole family and 2 kids, and provided table service that most full service restaurants should! (This is a counter service restaurant- seriously above and beyond). 110% would recommend.Kid-friendliness: Staff is extremely accommodating for children.“

“Man when I say this food is beyond amazing it is. The mango habanero sauce is amazing better than any you guys will ever taste. The wings Better that than bdubs and wings stop the only bad thing is they close at night when the munchies hit. 10/10 for sure“

“The chicken was tasty, however, it's a bit of a nuisance that the smallest amount of chicken you can buy is a 10 piece. EVERY fried chicken place in the world have 2+ chicken combos. No 1 person can eat 10 pieces of chicken in 1 setting, true, the chicken can be taken home, however, for out of towners (which they get a lot of) can not. They should serve combos like other spots, they'll make more money.Update: ok, so after driving from Chicago back to Michigan, I realized a few things. 1. The "wings" weren't wings, they were actually wing dings, and the thought of eating 10 wings just for myself was outrageous, however, I am kicking myself, because I could have totally eaten 10 of those wing dings. I got the chicken around 1145 am, got home close to 8pm, and those buggers were still crunchy, yes CRUNCHY. I popped them in the air fryer and they were DELICIOUS. Best wing dings I've ever eaten in my life! Get the 10 wing dings, you will eat every one. I got the Galbi spicy ?. Even the pickled radishes were fresh and delicious. 5 out of 5 for me, and I dont even like chicken like that.“

“My favorite chain steak restaurant, we make a habit out of stopping at this location on road trips that take us up I-94 as it's right off the highway. Food is reliably pretty good, and represents a good value. Would recommend checking in to the wait-list online before going. Even then the wait from check-in to getting a table is sometimes longer than I would expect and the entrance/exit area gets extremely crowded and chaotic.“

“We accidentally found this place, but glad we did. We tried their chicken nuggets and fries, the clams sandwich, the clam chowder (it was a bit thin but stilll good, the bread pudding dessert (this was yummy). This place offers quick service, is close to the interstate, limited seating. Would highly recommend this restaurant .“

“My favorite diner in Waukegan. In full honesty, I love the small hole-in-the-wall aesthetic. Some may find it cramped, but I think it's cozy. I love sitting at the bar, drinking the coffee, watching the cook do their thing. Menu is good. Staff is kind.“

“The food is always fresh. They’ll always get my order right. I’ve been coming here for 40 years! My adult kids live about 50 miles away but whenever they come to visit we ALWAYS get Ming Toy, nothing compares. My favorite is Chicken Hong Sue and the chicken is always perfect. My new son in law doesn’t have a Ming Toy favorite YET, so he tries a bunch of things, and EVERYTHING is great! Any friends who come back to Waukegan from out of town always stop for Ming Toy. It’s a treasure. ⭐️⭐️⭐️Parking: Parking is on the corner of Lewis and Yorkhouse. It’s tricky if you aren’t used to it, you really need to be careful.“

“this is one of those places that you drive past and never try. glad i finally gave this place a try! the food is really delicious, they definitely have a unique flavor! the place is cash only, but thats how you know the food is going to be good! ordered the jerk chicken & rib tips! will be catering a friendsgiving from this place!“
