In Search of Deep Ellum’s Best Late Night Eats | Eater Dallas

"A halal-cart-style late-night staple serving chicken-and-rice plates, with weekend kitchen hours stretching until 4 a.m., making it a reliable final stop for very late-night diners in the neighborhood." - Amy McCarthy

I’ll admit it—I’ve been missing out. First visit to Big Guys Pike Lake and now I get the hype. Thanks to Aimee Habeck for the nudge! We kicked things off with cheese nuggets and Reuben rolls, followed by a JD BBQ Chicken & Bacon pizza and a full burger lineup: Western, Mushroom Swiss, Bang Bang, and classic Cheeseburgers. My Western Burger was spot-on, and the tots deserve a shoutout of their own. The surprise cheesecake bites at the end? Elite move. We’ll be back.

Our third time here, love it! Food is great, large menu for choices. Prices are decent. Service has always been fantastic-something that seems to have gone downhill most other places. Big Guys, keep those servers happy because you don't want to lose them!

Ordered for take out, was ready in only 10 minutes! Food was hot, fresh, and delicious. Great prices too. Try the western burger, I think it might be my new favorite burger in town! My wife also REALLY enjoyed the fried green beans!

Even though we live in town, it gives the "up North" relaxing vacation vibe. Patio with Pike Lake's view, pull tabs, slots, and win every time duck games for kids and adults. Food and drinks and staff is amazingly friendly. We had Sam tonight, and Sandy in the past. They make you feel at home. Their genuine personalities and atmosphere make you want to come back for more.

THE MONSTER OF ALL BURGERS! Feeds 4 men, or 1 Viking! Over 2 lbs. of awesome! Duck Ragoon: amazing rustic spin on an American classic. Scenic forest countryside. Specials 7 days a week. Discount if you pay cash.

Fantastic burger and delicious wings. They had a great selection of sauces, of which I highly recommend the sweet heat. The Bloody Mary was a nice level of spice and refreshing tomato juice. Reasonable prices for beer, and very friendly staff. Just a solid bar I do wish they would stop using styrofoam to-go containers though

Great little bar. We have never had a meal we didn't like.

I called before we went and that was a sign. Melanie was annoyed that we called to see if our group of 4 needed reservations and what the special was? Monotone and indifferent. AYCE Wing Wednesday is a joke! Oily, greasy, breaded, disgusting, overcooked, and cold in the center, frozen wings. The non friendly server named Melanie was the bartender over who over estimates her hotness, and ignores her customers. She has zero personality. She's there to text and get some attention from the male regulars. She never followed up on our food or drinks and would be working harder if she was sleeping. Melanie comes to work to flirt with some dude who's there to watch her work and drinks for free. Staff and bartender were playing on there cell phones, texting and playing pool, while bar patrons waited for drinks and food. This place has gone downhill. Wings are breaded, overcooked.and disgusting and super oily. You can't peel off the breading. Just gross! Wings at Kwik Trip are 10 times better and are pre made. The cook is the only one who is actually working.

Great server and nice seating on deck overlooking lake. hamburger, bun, onion, tomato were delicious, but don't order the Swiss burger, canned mushrooms, and processed Swiss cheese..

Both myself and wife got sick today after eating there She had chilli which almost seemed like it came out of a can. The onion rings were not cooked properly. I had shrimp and garlic bread The jalapeño peppers were good. The young lady who was our server had zero personality

The evening at Big Guys started out as a fun Friday night out with friends. The vibe in the restaurant was fun and we were talking about coming back during the summer. We ordered our food. Our friends ordered the fish fry and my husband and I ordered breaded shrimp. Service was good, our meals were good and then we were on our way. Two hours after our dinners my husband and I became violently sick. Our friends were perfectly fine, but our vomiting lasted for hours. My husband has rebounded but I'm still feeling lousy and in bed for the second day. I am not sure what the cause was but I was very surprised to read another review on Yelp where another couple was sick after eating at Big Guys

The worst chicken sandwich ever. Tons of fat, not trimmed or marinated. The parts that weren't fat we're also inedible - had a weird thick texture like it wasn't chicken? or maybe was frozen & unfrozen several times? Also appetizers had freezer burn, how can they still be in business with such awful food?'v

This hole in the wall bar provides a great view of Pike Lake in Hartford. The food was amazing and the staff are beyond friendly. I stopped in to grab a quick lunch at the recommendation of my fiancé's family. I ordered the cheese soup with Brats and the steak sandwich. The sandwich was very tender and the steak was like butter. The soup was absolutely delicious. Next time I'm back in Wisconsin in the Hartford area I'll be stopping by here!

Trip back to my childhood hometown and really wanted a good Friday fish fry - I wasn't disappointed! Wait staff pleasant, view terrific, food hot and fresh (also the potato pancakes are TO DIE FOR). Next time I'll get the perch - think it might be better than the pollock. Oh, also - great views.

We were passing through and decided to stop in. We had no idea what to expect. We loved it and if we're ever back, we'll stop by. The food was very delicious and reasonable prices. The cheese nuggets were fantastic. The lady behind the bar was so friendly and funny. They have gorgeous spacious patio. Next time we have to get the pizza!

Best Burgers & Fries in Hartford! Their fries are awesome. Never came to a bar where the food was so consistently tasty! Monday night they have $4.50 burger and fries and it rocks! Kids love it. Beautiful view of Pike Lake, can't beat the prices.

Dive bar. Lots of TVs. I come here for a burger and fries. Burgers are cooked exactly as ordered and are half pound patties of delicious greasy burger. Fries are perfect. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Good spot if you have kids. Nice view of Pike Lake and a deck overlooking it as well! Service is good too. Can't beat it for an $8 cheeseburger and perfect fries. The cheddar nuggets are a great appetizer too!

Fish here is very good! Beer battered and they have a cajun style one that we also like. The place is right on Pike Lake and has a great atmosphere!

We have lived in Hartford for years and this was the first time eating at Big Guys. Definitely the best burger in town. Tots and fries are yummy. They have have the best wings around. Be sure to get the bone in wings. The restaurant was clean and family-friendly. Big Guys is a must try if you want pub fare in Hartford.
