Big Sammy's Hot Dogs Ii - Elgin

Been going here for years but will have to cut them out of the rotation. Brought my 2 sons here for lunch. Almost $50 for the 3 of us. Over $15 for the cheeseburger meal? Come on. Prices have been jacked WAY up. Food is better than the big fast food chains but it's not worth double the price.

I was in hundreds of hot dog joints in town and suburbs and never came over a hot dog joint like this. They do an excellent work that serves well-connected meals. The burger was juicy and delicious. The frits were crispy to perfection and not in fat or over salted. I was there during the lunch break and all the employees did a fantastic job. Your hard work should not go unnoticed.

Wide range of foods. Good service, I like the friendly old man especially. Food is pretty good, I can say that they have a lot of trouble in providing full-bodied dishes. My only complaint is that the Pommes were a little lame. They had little taste.

This is now my place for hamburgers and/or chicken sandwiches. Prices are great, less than most local chains and much better. The burgers are beautifully grilled, toppings (I like mine with almost everything) and fresh. The chicken gros are also good. Get them with the original sauce instead of the honey mustard. I didn't do a Chicago dog here, but I'll do it soon because it's based on what I ate here, they'll get it on site. Also the online ordering option works great. When I waited for the first time as so many people waited for their order, I thought it was rude to complain after my online order. But... if you order online and pay, just go up, 9 times from 10 it is already waiting there for you. Update: order about 10 times after my first review of Big Sammy, my 5-star review still applies. Only today ordered by them and the quality is still top notch. You were busy today and I can taste why. Get an order from Pommes. An order is enough for a family of 3 or 4.

Good food for great prices and friendly service! Italian beef, hot dogs and gyros under a ton of other options.
