Waukegan is in Illinois, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Waukegan follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Juda Haley a month ago

The food is just not good: dry meat, no seasoning in the food. Just bland. If you are not serving the meat with sauce on it ( who ever heard of bbq meat with no sauce on it??) at least season the meat. Baked beans taste like just out of a can. Mac and cheese was dry and tasteless. Salt, pepper and garlic powder wound fix a lot of the issues. Also, no smoke flavor. Big Ed’s BBQ has absolutely nothing to worry about.

First time customer and dined-in. We were lucky enough to sample their baby back ribs and they are so soft and succulent. Ordered the turkey tips with baked Mac and rice with red beans for sides. My father had the Italian beef, baked beans, and fried liver. All items were so good, we highly recommend people to give this place a shot! The service we received was good, the facility is clean, and the atmosphere was very welcoming.

We stopped by here for lunch on our way to a meeting. The food was delicious! The rib tips were so tender and my fiance ordered the brisket which just melted in your mouth! And i absolutely can't forget those collard greens! So flavorful and some of the best seasoned greens I've ever had from a restaurant and I've had alot lol! Will definitely go again if I'm up that way.

The ribs were delicious let me not forget about those greens and cornbread. I ask the lady did the yams taste like someone grandma cooked them she said yes they were delicious also and the chicken was oh so good.

First time orderingβ€” order at the drive-thru- 8-price mixed chicken 1 large mashed and gravy 1 large red bean and rice 2 biscuits/2 cornbread 1 lbs ribs Total was about $60 Took about 10 minutes to make the order. Chicken are crisp and tasted very similar to the old Browns that they combined with and took over. Very moist and cooked perfectly. Sides were all fairly tasty Ribs are seasoned nicely, really liked their sauce. For $60 there is easily enough to feed 4-5 people so $12-$15 per person is not bad in 2025. I’ll definitely order the chicken again, I’m not a high fan of smoked meats.
