Big Ange's Eatery

Just found my new favorite bbq in this area! 1st visit here and Chip was so helpful in explaining their menu. I’m a huge fan of brisket and he gave me a sample of the brisket. Wow, so good! I got their 1/2 lb prime brisket sandwich, and this was one of the best brisket I’ve had…so tender and juicy, without being really fatty! I will definitely be back for more!

Came here for the first time , was greeted and given Brisket samples which were amazing. Tried Pulled pork,smoked pastrami, Brisket sandwiches also 1/2 slab of ribs , sides we got were coleslaw, potato salad ,mac n cheese and onion straws, all the meat was great the briskets was the best and my favorite Coleslaw needs some seasoning did not see any nor think it had any. Potato salad also needs the same The mac n cheese was spot on , Sauces were great additions . Definitely be back for burgers and sausages with the fresh cut fries. Id say maybe switching to beef tallow for frying would take some foods to the next level. Thanks Ramnu reviews

Big Anges's has the best barbecue in Illinois. The food is fresh and high-quality. I can't choose if the pulled pork or brisket is better so I get both. Every item they have on the menu is a banger, it is my favorite guilty pleasure. The staff are very friendly and even offer samples of the meat to help you decide. The interior old music memorabilia on the walls are cool.

Our first time here and we are already talking about coming back! We loved everything, tried all types of meats, all are savory and melts in your mouth. The Mac and cheese and potato salad are superb and even the fresh lemonade! The best bbq place we’ve been here in Illinois.

Come hungry if you go to Big Ange's! The food was delicious. We ordered rib tips, brisket, mac n cheese and onion rings. They did not disappoint! We also got the strawberry milkshake, do not skip out in the whipped cream!

This is a hard review for me. I have had my favorite BBQ place for 20 years. I did a whole summer hitting every BBQ place in a 50 mile radius of my home. I finally made it Big Angie’s Eatery and was really impressed. So much so that it has become my new favorite place for beef and pork BBQ. Moving my local favorite to number 2 spot. I tried a Reuben sandwich and also a brisket sandwich coleslaw and haystack onions. I also tried the sirloin tip BBQ it was closer to a smoked prime rib than a roast. I didn’t put sauce on anything which is unusual for me. None of the meats needed anything they tasted great just how they were made. The haystack onions were crispy on the outside, yet moist in the middle, not overly breaded, but properly covered. The Reuben sandwich was delicious. It had light sauce and was not overly cheesy, with the flavor of the pastrami showing through. They also sell ribs and many other sandwiches including meatballs,beef, cold sandwiches and even hotdogs I got there shortly after it opened and they’re already a few tradesmen sitting there eating but by the time I finished the place was packed with no tables available and this was well before noon. I grabbed an extra sandwich to take home because I don’t live close to here even though it’s a drive I definitely will be back. This is a place that has very moist meats. If that’s not your thing and you prefer stuff a little dryer. This place is not for you. The staff was fantastic, very friendly, very inviting. I also tried their homemade orange juice, lemonade, combo freshly made each day. It was wonderful each fruit complemented the other prices were average for a barbecue place. The value was there I got more than enough food to fill me up. If you’re a fan of barbecue, this place is definitely worth your time even if you’re nowhere near it, take the drive and go to big Ange‘s eatery !

Friendliness greets you with freshly cut samples of their specialties that make you want to eat everything on the menu. Home made quality sides. Large portions, great flavors. Totally worth more visits.

Overall 5/5 !!! Came here just in time before closing time and so glad we did! I had an Italian beef with fries and let me tell you 10 out of 10 !!! Ended the day with a chocolate shake with homemade ice cream.
