2 reviews for BIG & little's
Great new takeout spot located on a very interesting little strip of ethnic carryout eateries and cab stands. Next to the Somalian eatery (which is also a gem in it's own right) Tony is offering a pretty interesting and unique take out menu with such items as fish tacos, squid tacos, beer mussels, crab tostados, as well as the usual (but probably better than most) burgers and fries.
I had the fish a chips which were really solid. I could have used one more piece of fish, but I can't really complain too much. He did give us free drinks and extra tacos for being first time customers. It seems like he is setting out to make some quality food and fast service, which is great if you are someone that works in there area. On top of that, Big and Little are going out of their way to make sure you enjoy their food and service.
But I also have to say, if you are in the area and you are adventurous, you should also check out several of the small cafes and carryout places offering such food as Indian/Pakistani, African and Middle Eastern. Orleans has become our alternative go-to spot when we head out to grab some lunch.
Feck me, I thought for sure I'd get an FTR out of this. Beat to the got dang punch. Oh well. (As you can see, I've given up profanity, even in the face of adversity.)
Not to discount the two reviews prior to mine, but the shrimp is insane. It's not frozen, but battered and fried to order. Tony can fry a shrimp like nobody's business. They're the big, high quality shrimps too, not the $4.99/lb at your local Dominick ones. (Yes, I'm fully aware that this entire paragraph, save for one or two sentences, is full of grammatical mistakes. You're a total deck if you care though.)
Don't feel like going to Hopleaf for mussels? Gary and Tony got your back. Grilled squid tacos? Sheeet. I don't eat fish and chips, except for the chips, but they're up in that betch like an unborn baby too.
5 stars for a seafood-heavy, extremely reasonably priced, delicious menu and friendly service in a fast food setting. There's a parking lot too. You need to go through the alley and go into the lot that says CPS. I'm 4 srs.
