I haven't been to Big Sammy's in a long time, maybe a year or more, but after going there today I think this will be my last time giving them my business.

The Italian beef I had was great, as well as the pizza puffs and the cheesy logs. Another person had a veggie burger and was quite impressed with taste and quality of it. Overall, I would highly recommended Big Sammy’s to anyone in the Chicago area because you will definitely be happy with...

Gyro, Cheese Burger, Wing, Fries, Cheese Curds, Marinera Sauce, Cheese Sauce and even Ranch... all just appetizing! Who ever is your guy working the kitchen deserves praise, the man is a legend.
