Reviews for Big Ed's BBQ & Bar in Waukegan, IL
Wow!!!! This place was phenomenal!! We ordered the catfish dinner and the combo dinner (ribs and burnt ends). Everything was... incredible. The catfish was melt-in-your-mouth goodness with a gorgeous crunch. The meat was falling off the bone tender. Iwanted to marry the mac and cheese, and the beans, and the mashed potatoes. Also everyone was so friendly and kind!!! Read more
Best rib joint ever!! Could not finish a full slab due to sooo much meat on the bone. All served dry rub and BBQ sauce of... varying kinds and heat on the table to pick from. BBQ beans, excellent. Had the sweet potato side as well. Throw in the sweetcornbread muffin and this is a meal with plenty of leftovers. I double darn you to go and enjoy the feast. Read more
You don't really expect to find great BBQ in Waukegan but this place is delicious! Burnt ends dinner with coleslaw and Mac &... Cheese was great and a good amount of food. Sauces then elevated the flavor to the next level! If you're in Waukegan make sureyou try Big Ed's. Read more
Big Ed's BBQ is a great spot! Welcoming friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere. The Hot Links were on point and the sides were... incredible. My wife had the half chicken which was wonderfully seasoned and juicy. I would highly recommend Big Ed's! Read more
We were deciding between spots and I'm glad we came here. I was shocked they had a few local beers that were good. The catfish... and rib tips were also very good. Our sides seemed to stand out also. I would recommend to a friend! Read more
I always forget to take a pic when I get food here. Some of the best Mac and cheese you can get without making it in your own... kitchen. Some of the best bbq around. Have to try if you in town. Try anything. It's all good. Read more
One the absolute best BBQ places I've ever eaten at(I'm from the South.) Some of the most tender brisket you'll ever have in... your life, it doesn't even need any sauce. Everything is great, including the cornbread! Read more
First time coming here. Staff was friendly and the food came out quick! I got the brisket sandwich which was perfectly cooked,... tender, fell apart in my mouth. The fries just came out of the fryer, hot with just the right amount of salt. I also picked upthe standard Mac&cheese which was okay nothing special. The place was clean but very much a bar vibe.
