"This '90s-themed sandwich shop, complete with action figures and Happy Meal toys decorating the space, is mostly made up of one massive bar. In fact, besides a small alcove in the back of the shop, Big Kids seems almost inhospitable to large groups. This means a lot of single diners or small groups of two will have an easy time finding a seat to enjoy one of the interesting collaborations between the former Blackbird chef and a chef from the New Orleans sandwich spot Turkey And The Wolf. The sandwiches (like the turkey, pastrami, and zesty pasta salad—yes all of those on one sandwich) are both creative and tasty. Plus they have the shiddy burger—one of the best burgers in Chicago—fun drinks like milk punch or the ecto cooler, and small bites like tater tots that are also very good." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru, josh barnett
