“I tried this restaurant because the other Korean restaurant on the same road has gone downhill quality wise. I have been going since. Their price is just $1 or $2 higher than the other one but the food is much better quality and larger portion. You can tell they are very proud of their food. They make their own kimchi. They check on you frequently to make sure you are happy with the food. Highly recommend this restaurant!“
“Having been here many years ago, and returning, found that their food has improved, but the service is minimal at best with the owner and one staff waiting on all the tables. After we sat down to a half empty room, it started to fill up and there were not enough staff, not even a bus boy to clear tables.We ordered the Dolsot be Bim bop and the Yuk Guy Jang, which I order visiting new Resturants to see if they are consistent with authentic Korean food. The Yuk Guy Jang was good but much different than I’ve ever had before.I will try to visit again since I love Korean food too see if they are consistent.Be fore you go, look ? ⬇️ and hit the thumbs ? up.“
“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!“
“First time in this restaurant! From tender ribs to smoky pulled pork and melt in your mouth brisket, every bite is a flavor explosion!! But it’s not just about the meat—the sides are equally outstanding. Jalapeños cheese corn bread out of this world!“
“Loved the experience from this place! The food was phenomenal & service was high quality. Ended up getting the beef bulgogi, crispy tofu, & crispy crunch roll! So flavorful and yummy, highly recommend if you're looking for a lowkey Korean BBQ place! Will be coming back for sure ?“
“Always phenomenal bbq and ambiance! The owners are fantastic and always appreciate their customers. Have tried everything on the menu several times and have yet to have something I haven't thoroughly enjoyed. If you get the chance definitely attend one of their beer/bourbon/bbq dinners..super fun and delicious experience!“
“I've tried a lot of things on the menu, and I enjoy everything there. You can pick your sauce for all the near items, but I think the spice and flavor are prevalent without the sauce. The sauce is just a bonus, in my opinion. You can't go wrong with the food or dessert at this restaurant.“
“Excellent food and people. We are from TX and are big into BBQ. I was worried about even trying BBQ in the Chicago area since we're almost food snobs when it comes to this. Thanks to some of the previous reviews we gave it a shot and were in no way disappointed. The brisket is exceptional here, I won't say it beats all I've ever had but it is absolutely top 5 and a welcome surprise for this far north. The rib tips are excellent along with them. I can't speak for the sauces as we couldn't have them, but that should just speak more volumes for the meat, it does to me at least. The staff are also pretty awesome, give this place a shot they won't disappoint you in the slightest.“
“My partner and I have frequented several locations of Mission BBQ and the food and service are always great, but the Gurnee location's customer service is the best. They are always friendly and we never feel rushed when ordering. This is our favorite location to visit.“
“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.“
“Absolutely love this place, came all the time when we lived here but last year moved up to Milwaukee. We happily make the commute here, the food is always amazing and the staff are so kind and genuine! You truly get the sense they all enjoy working here and providing great service. Love this place and will never stop recommending them to everyone I talk to“
“I loved it here. Food is my heaven, and this place was out of this world! Their BBQ sauces to die for! Everything here was amazing. Staff was efficient and very pleasant. A lot of parking space and enough seats to sit and relax for a while wasn't crowded for a Saturday night! I'm definitely coming back here to try more. No complaints here, delicious chefs kiss“

“My family and I love coming here! Kid friendly, super clean here and we are always greeted sweetly by the owners and staff and they are so accommodating! One of our go to restaurants. We are always craving their food since there are a lot of tasty options~Few of our top favs!Honey garlic and gangjeong have been the top flavors fried chicken for us, perfect amount of spice and flavor and the chicken is nice and crunchy on the outsideTheir boneless options are good too pleasantly juicy on the inside with a nice crispy texturerose ddeok-bokki- the rice cakes perfectly cooked not too chewy not too hardperfectt texture and the flavors are so delicious. If you don’t have a high spice tolerance this can be a good alternative for you instead of regular ddeok-bokkiKimchi fried rice- delicious can’t go wrong ordering this dish here!We like to order fries and pickled radish with our chicken and it’s byob as well so you can enjoy a nice cold beer all together best combo!! (chi-maek) ❤️“
“The food is decent but with everything being al a cart the price really adds up fast.We paid $26 for 1 burger and a salad.No sauces fries etc .A bit much for my wallet.Parking: Just fineKid-friendliness: High chairs available. Very casual atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: The doors are very air tight so if you're coming alone in a wheel chair you may find access difficult.“
“Great service the moment we stepped in.They were so kind and welcoming.The brisket was so tender and juicy. The sauce i used ( they have 5-6 house made sauces) the sweet and spicy sauce, which paired perfectly. Tiny tiny kick with the nice tangy sweetness.I also tried their ribs, which were just melting in the mouth.“
“Personally to me the BEST BBQ in Lake County hands down !! You have a great selection of meats to choose from and the portions are fulfilling.. The meats here are smoked to perfection with flavor in every bite. You have a variety of sides to choose from, my favorites are the creamy spinach and the Mac and cheese. Nice size portions to go with your meat. Let’s not forget the pickles, THEY ARE A MUST! Sweet but tangy crispy crunch, go hand and hand with your bbq.Surprisingly today it was not as busy as your would expect for it to be a Saturday afternoon, but that meant no line for me and I was not complaining.The prices are worth the portions but be prepared to spend if you have the appetite !Parking: Shared parking lot with neighboring businesses“
“We stopped and picked up some ribs, jerk chicken, burnt ends to go. I am a confessed BBQ snob and I was blown away at the execution of cooking and the flavor. I dislike BBQ places that so do season adequately, but they delivered on all accounts.They were also very patient as I was looking over the menu and ordering.Will definitely be back!“
