Our fish and chips were prepared to perfection. You order at the counter and then wait for your name to be called. There are picnic type tables around…

Actually, I went to their Midway Airport location, which was my first time trying them. Had the Big & Littles special, Carnitas, Mexican Beef tacos. All were so yummy! The meat servings were great but the fish serving was too small,especially with all of the toppings. When next I visit Im going to one of the restaurants so I can try from the extended menu, which sounds even tastier!
I have had a number of lengthy layovers at Midway recently and finally tried Harry Caray’s. It is the best choice for a sit down restaurant, but it is far from great. The service was a little slow, which would have been frustrating if I were in a hurry. The food and drinks were acceptable, but not memorable.
Do you ever find that the closer you live to a restaurant, the longer it takes you to actually try it? Charles and I had been talking about trying Big & littles for years, before we finally dined there last week. Big & littles got a little famous when a visit from Guy Fieri landed the River North restaurant on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. I would say that Big & littles fits into the diner category. It does have booth seating, even though it is a big more casual than most diners.Big & littles has a fast casual concept. You order from the counter up front, and your name is called when the order is ready. The menu at Big & littles is fun that is just the best way to describe it. There is a little of everything, including fish and chips, burgers, poboys, and tacos. This might be the perfect restaurant for me and Charles he can be a typical Brit and have fish and chips, meanwhile I can satisfy my constant need for tacos.Charles loved his gigantic order of fish and chips (pictured above). It was two massive pieces of cod piled over a generous serving of fries. He even said that it was better than most of the fish and chips that he has had back in England. Something tells me Big & littles will become his go-to place for the dish.I ordered tacos, of course. I had the short rib taco that was a special that day, and the pork taco. It was under $10 total, and the perfect amount of food for dinner (and I might have stolen a few of Charless fries). For a fast casual restaurant, Big & littles has some ingredients that are more gourmet. The short rib taco (pictured above) was wonderfully tender and had just enough topping to compliment the beef and make the dish interesting without overwhelming it. The pork taco packed more heat, and was definitely something I would order again.We both enjoyed our meals at Big & littles, and it made for a very cheap date night. We spent just over $30 on two meals. Had we known that the restaurant is BYOB, we would have brought beer which would go very well with just about anything on the menu.Big & littles is tucked away on a quiet corner at 860 North Orleans Street, just a short walk from the Chicago brown line stop. There is a second location in Lakeview on Belmont near the Belmont red/purple/brown line stop. They do not take reservations, but they have a generous amount of seating. thekittchen.com
BBQ Pulled Pork Wow. BBQ sandwich that melts in your mouth and doesn’t break the bank. Chas it down with some truffle fries and you have a winner!
Great place had the soft shell crab po boy would recommend going.
Very happy to have made it here!. This was on my hit list of places to go in Chicago and I’m glad I did. I’m also glad I had sufficent cash to get what I wanted! The Foie Gras Mousse Burger was mouth watering. I have little experience with foie gras so the mousse format was something special. On top of a perfectly cooked hand spanked patty it was truly a bur-gasmic experience! (yes I just said that…) I tried a bite of her Lamb Gyro for good measure and must say they do it well. The tzatziki sauce had a nice zest but it was messy and kinda hard to eat. I must admit I saw this on Diners, Drive-Ins’ & Dives which influenced my decision to dine here and I’m happy to say Guy didn’t let me down! If you’re in Chicago I wholeheartedly recomend finding you way here with some cash in hand!
Great food, great prices. We tried their fish and chips and the talapia tacos. Both were delicious. Also had some of the truffle fries which were good too. If only we could have gotten a beer with our food…
