Big Guys Sausage Stand

This evening a group of «Big Guys» invited Rosa J. to their «Sausage Stand.» By the way, there wasn’t anything romantic since she really just got down to business on searching for good, affordable, and comforting street eats.
I purchased a groupon for this place. I was pretty excited to see the Groupon deal since I’ve always been wanting to try it out.
Free parking is available behind these Big Guys’ habitation. Dine-​ins are certainly feasible, with a few chairs and a table against the window facing the J-​O grocery store across the road. Michael (assuming that was his name), with a catchy green Irish shirt, was a nice dude who engaged some fun conversations with hubby about some random Irish things that I didn’t comprehend entirely. That was ok, since I wanted those strong «hombres» to grill me an order of «buffalo chicken sausage» with blue cheese dressing on the side.
Those hombres grandes did an excellent job on perfecting their sausages. Please, there’s definitely no innuendo when I said this. The flavor was on point, and so was the buffalo sauce. The sauce was slightly mild than what would expect. I’m typically not a «tangy» kind of gal when it comes to dipping sauce, so this buffalo chicken sausage was a solid «A» for me.
Hubby was able to get an Italian chicken sausage instead the usual «pork-​based» sausage. How funny that his Chinese zodiac is the pig and he and Mr. piggly wiggly can’t get along.
The Groupon Deal allows two (2) orders of specialty sausages, a large order of fries, and two (2) large fountain pops. Tax is not included with the deal, so prepare some green bucks for that purpose.
Free refills for pops are provided upon request. I believe BGSS is a great neighborhood staple. I don’t live nearby so it isn’t too convenient to make it here often. However, I will keep this spot in mind when I’m out and about in Berwyn/​Oak Park areas.

Second time ordering from here loved it day one. Garlic fries are AMAZING enough to for 4 people on one order. Their burgers are to die for, but let get to what I’m reviewing right now… The Gumbo with shrimp chicken and sausage. I give it 1 star. The gumbo was beige in color and thick like a gravy the shrimp was grilled and packaged separately and was over cooked. The gumbo reminded me of a bad can of Campbell soup. As a creole and someone who knows gumbo. This was NOT it.
Also ordered the Italian beef asked for it NOT TO BE DIPPED asked for mozzarella cheese and for it to be toasted with sweet peppers, here is what I got… a super soggy in toasted Italian beef with a shit load of hot peppers and swiss cheese cheese and American cheese on the side I was clearly supposed to toast myself.
I’m not sure if it was because it is a Saturday or if the crew tonight just didn’t give two shits.
Oh and we ordered their cookies for dessert (6) but what we did not know is that they were the size of a face. Have not tried the cookies yet but I have a suspicious felling that they are going to be super dry and there is no milk in this housr.

A hidden gem in the area. Wish I had discovered earlier. Everything is made from scratch, and that is translated in the taste.
Burgers are delicious. The buns they use are a brioche and are awesome. Sometimes my burgers are not cooked to the temp requested, but are never raw nor overdone.
They have their own hand dipped corn dogs. Yummy.
Fries are freshly made, I believe cut in house. The serving sizes are huge. The BG (butter garlic) fries are really good, but you can feel your arteries clogging when you eat them (so I alternate between them and regular fries).
You can order online or call ahead. Otherwise it takes about 10 min for them to cook your order.

Yummy in my tummy.
On my way to Brookfield Zoo we decided to stop by one of Chicago’s Best Restaurant. I’m always down for a quickie to-​go spot. I quickly read over some Unilocal reviews, then ordered the shrimp po-​boy with fries. Well my partner and I ordered a large fries which was ridiculously huge. Plus the fries were just thrown in the paper bag, which was odd to me.
But anyways, the po-​boy was DELICIOUS! The shrimp were juicy, moist and grilled well. The shrimp were a nice size too. My boyfriend ordered a burger and his brother ordered chicken tenders, which were also just thrown in the bag as well.
