    Ok... so the office group wanted to go get fast food, someone suggested this place, and I was like alright where is it. Apparently this was the location of the once Southern Belle's Pancake house, Now it's a sit down picnic table style fast food joint. I ordered the #1. two Chicago dogs, fries, and a drink. It was only $5.25. They totally packed on the fries. I was stuffed. Will definately go back and get their gyro after I've starved for a few days. I think their portions can feed a small army.

    As of February 1, 2011 the rib special price is going up to $15.00 a slab. Its still a good deal and their food is good.

    One of my favorite places to go good food and good price that is why I go every Friday.

    Had the gyros. Was surprised at how large it was! Definitely good value.

    While I think it's more well-known for their hot dogs and gyros, I had the pizza burger (with bacon added), and it was delicious! Would definitely go back again! Fries are mega-hot when you get them. Well-worth the 10-15 minute drive from my house in Arlington Heights!

    Decent food and selection. Staff is friendly and place is always clean. Best thing there is the beer battered onion rings.. So hard to find out there.

    As one who lives by eating at non-franchise fast food, I can tell you that Big Sammy's is my favorite restaurant in the area. I characterize Sammy's by the good food, reasonable prices and fast friendly service. Chicago area hot dog stands can be judged by (obviously) their hot dogs and trimmings, but also by the italian beef/sausage combo. The hot dog stacks up against the other restaurants by the copious fresh ingredients. The dog itself is a bit skimpy, but I suspect that's because they have been running a $5.00 two-dog special with fries and a drink. The combo sandwich is marked as one of the better ones that I have had recently, with as much tasty sausage and quality beef than can fit in a bun. The french fries stand out as being so good that I am willing to risk breaking the low-carb diet. Big Sammy's is a dependably good lunch spot.

    I used to come here for Bosco sticks. it was the only place i knew that still sold them (they were my favorite from the high school cafeteria). They don't sell them anymore, which is such a shame. The owner said it's because they got too expensive (i'd still pay premium price for them, ahem) but I still like it because the food is tasty and really cheap.

    Big Sammy's is great food and great prices, it's as simple as that. It's been in business for a number of years and it's THE establishment in Elk Grove for gyros, cheesy beef, burgers, and more. And even if you're living paycheck-to-paycheck, they have a sweet hot dog deal guaranteed to fill you up. Do you need more convincing? Well, here's some food for thought: in just the past few years, Big Sammy's has grown exponentially from their old location in Elk Crossing Center (remember "Fradillio's Hot Dogs"?) to their new location by the old Sears Hardware, and now they're in more towns too! I'm not saying you should eat there because they have a solid business model; it's just a testament to the fact that people love this place and are willing to travel to get their awesome food. The service is good too - quick, friendly, and personable. I've never had a bad meal here, and if you're lucky enough to catch Big Sammy himself, strike up a conversation with him - he's a great guy. He travels to each location to actually do work (which I have a profound respect for) and loves chatting it up with the customers when it's not busy (which, fortunately for his business, is not often!) I wouldn't consider them the same quality as a Portillo's, but it's a close second; and since Portillo's doesn't offer gyros, Big Sammy's is the place.

    I saw an ad in the newspaper for this place. I was in the area so decided to give them a try. I had the hot special. The hot dogs were good and there was a good amount of topping available. I liked the fries. They also give you a good portion of fries. It was clean inside. They people are very friendly. If I'm in the area, I would go back. I want to give the ribs a try, since they have a pretty good deal going right now.

    Pretty good deal, $8.88 is the total price for most combos. If you eat all the fries too, you'll leave full. The hot dogs look thin and don't look like they'd be good, but looks can be deceiving. They're no Superdawg, but they are pretty good. The best $8.88 combo deal is the Gyro plate, just cuz the thing is a mound of meat. All in all, this place is a great local place. Oh, and Sammy's also has the best fries. They're thick, but nice and crispy on the outside.

    My husband and I came by today! We gave up Subway to give this place a try! This joint is like a cleaner version of "Shorty's" (in Wooddale) and a smaller Portillo's. Their menu has a variety of Portillo's type foods. We ordered the hot dog, gyro and fries. *Pepsi products* Hot Dog w/Everything Minus Mustard was pretty good. The actual size of the hot dog was smaller (definitely no Costco size). Though the size was small, it was decent. It came with sport peppers, pickle, relish, mustard,... not bad. not bad. Gyro was good. Lots of fries. I will come back again. A-OK in my books. **It's a little on the pricier side for the food that it is. Hot dog was $2.49. and gyro combo (with fries and drink) was $8.50...

    Been eating at Big Sammy's for almost 10 years now. Decent food, but the size keeps getting smaller andthe price keeps going up?? Spent $9.40 for the gyro special the other day, and there was not as much meat as in the past. Has anyone else noticed the new cups are not the 22oz advertised? Barely holds a 16.9 oz bottle of water......maybe 20oz at most.

    Not a bad hot dog place. A little expensive for the type of food but the quality is not bad at all.

    If you want to have the watery shits after eating at this place, by all means, please go ahead. Every single time I have eaten here, I have gotten sick.

    I stopped in here for lunch one day. It is hidden at the back of a strip mall parking lot off of Biesterfield. The place was a basic hot dog joint with plenty of seating. It was clean and not too busy on the day I was there. I ordered two hot dogs, fries, and a drink at the counter. Ordering "everything" on your dog gets you mustard, pickle, tomato, sport peppers, and onions. They served it up very fast. I was not impressed with the quality of the food. The buns were those cloud-like fluffy white bread things. Very cheap. The hot dogs were generic... no Vienna beef here. My trip to Big Sammy's cost me seven bucks. This wasn't a bad place, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here again.

    Not a bad place. They have decent food but I've had better in comparison to other hot dog / combo sandwiches places. It seems a tad more pricey than other places but I don't mind paying a little extra considering it's 5 minutes away (convenience factor). I do like that it is open until 10pm out here in the burbs as I come home late at times. Pluses... -Gives you a lot of fries! -Pretty good portion size -Pretty fast service. Minuses... -Wings are pretty small -Ribs seem small and not very meaty Overall, an pretty decent / average hot dog / burger / gyro joint.

    Went to Big Sammy's tonight. Bought 2 gyros 2 pizza puffs and an Italian beef. The price was $25.25. A little pricey for a hot dog joint. I got home and the beef was so tough I could only eat a very small amount and the sandwich. Wasn't worth the price although my husband and son loved the gyros, I was less than thrilled.

    Work nearby so I've stopped in for lunch a few times. Last time in I ordered the Italian beef w/fries lunch special; throw on cheese and peppers and my total came out to $10.75. The sandwich gave a whole new meaning to greasy; it was tasty in spite of falling apart the whole time I tried to eat it. All in all, a decent lunch stop but a touch on the expensive side.
