Great takeout joint for tacos, burgers, and fries. Indoor seating is fine but the food travels well if you're in a hurry and order in advance. The tacos are reasonably priced and make for a great snack to share with friends while out and about or headed to a ball game.

Picky eaters will enjoy more traditional options. No one will bat an eye if your kids are loud or messy.

  • Thomas Nelson

Go there for the day specials. Most of everything else is overpriced for what you get. They charge $4 for a taco worth $3. So, $2 Tuesdays are when to get the tacos. Their Wednesday burger deal is solid too. Their Thursday BOGO chicken sandwich you can skip, you'd get a better chicken sandwich at Popeyes or even Wendy's. If not there for a deal, Fish & Chips or Hotdogs are a solid options.

Here’s my honest review. The food is wonderful, but the atmosphere and service is incredibly uncomfortable. All three times I’ve been to B&L’s, I’ve felt incredibly unwelcome. Ordering something will annoy the owner and cashier. Anyone who walks in will not be greeted with a smile. I have hope for B&L’s, because they have a wonderful menu! I just hope one day when I might decide to give them another try, the atmosphere will be different.

This is a little place on Belmont we stopped in for a quick bite. It has a little of everything, tacos, burgers, sandwiches, but the seafood is definitely the star of the restaurant. Their most popular items are raw ahi tuna items. You order at the register, pay and then if dining in sit at a table. The restaurant is not large. I ordered the tuna wrap and was surprised the tuna was raw, but the sauces on it were delicious and spicy and different from the usual. They have a lot of other items that sound good so looking forward to coming back.

  • Paul Xumsai

Fusion-style fast-food restaurant. The food is remarkably good here. This place is almost always packed and there is usually a line to order food. Food is made-to-order, so be prepared to wait. The food is definitely worth the wait. My favorites is the Pork-belly Po'Boy (fried pork belly with maple syrup - YUM), tacos, and truffle fries. Breakfast sandwich's are good as well, but the hash brown is a bit oily. There's a reason this restaurant was featured in DDD, it's a dive. Nothing fancy, just good food.

  • Jeremy s

Garbage. 2 stars because the fries were good. Pork was bland and had no flavor. street tacos are small but $4 and up. No flavor. The ahi taco was decent but the lemon wedge was almsot the same size. . Never again. Waste of money overall. Hipster place that have no taste buds. They were better when they were across from La Cordon bleu

Go somewhere else. Ordered the fish and chips, absolutely terrible. Soggy mess, the fries falling apart from their own weight once lifted. The wet mush that was meant to be the crust on the fish wasn't strong enough to hold the fish either, so everything immediately came apart into one sloppy pile of regret. I've never hated an order of fried fish before. Rude staff is one thing, but when you're serving trash as well, no thanks.

A low-key neighborhood spot, but next time I’ll get my food to go. The fried chicken sandwich and cajun fries were delicious. It took about 20 minutes to get my food, but I was given a heads up this was the case. Customer service was not great and I did not feel like they appreciated people coming in.

  • Sasha Nicole

So good! Had the Hawaiian pork tacos and the Mexican Taco. Hawaiian was generous portion spiced just right with bits of sweet pineapple. Mexican taco was very tender and juicy. Handcut fries were perfectly crisp. BF had breakfast tacos and chorizo and egg. Couldn't decide which he liked more. Prices are very reasonable. It is NOT Cash only! Saw people eating lots of really good looking food - we'll definitely be back.

  • Kristin James

My family and I were in the city for an expo, and decided to try this lovely little place. The tacos were amazing and those cajun fries... Mmm... Flavor packed! Give this place a try if you're in town!

  • David Hong

Really enjoy Big and Littles because their food is quality (real fish and meat and such) and unique. I've come a few times and the food is good. My only complaint is they can pay more attention to the food quality to be an actual "premium fast food" place. The fish was slightly overcooked. They've had cheese that was not yet melted in burritos. I'd recommend a burger.

  • Noga Sachs

This place has the best, most affordable tacos in the area and in a great little venue outdoor seating too! They do a great job on some fusion style tacos, burritos, fries and burgers and they're all at a great price! Thus is a byob that's right next door to 1000 liquors so it's ready to get a nice drink for cheap with your dinner. I'd come here any time!

  • Ashley Mo

I love coming here for $2 Taco Tuesdays, which includes shrimp and food options! The service is friendly and the food comes out hot and quick. You will probably need some napkins after eating.

  • Aaron Quintanilla

Big & Littles is my go to neighborhood spot for inexpensive but outrageously delicious food. Their menu is small, but each item is done very well. They items are all well balanced and far exceed the expectations for the price. The churros are an extra special treat, best and cheapest in the neighborhood. More

  • Nabeel Zeeshan

I ordered the fish and chips (grilled white fish with fries) with some tarter sauce and it was delicious. Grilled instead of fried because everything fried is beer battered. I wish they put more pieces of fish though. The staff is super friendly.

  • Gamaliel Torres

I’d heard about BIG & Little’s before, but was finally convinced to go by a friend. I decided to step out of the ordinary and try a fish taco. Wasn’t disappointed! I tried the Samurai taco and the Portobello Sandwich, both had delicious flavors!

First time here, we already got another groupon to come back! We tried a variety of tacos, cajuin fries and truffle fries. Then because we were pigs, we got another taco and some more regular fries with dipping cheese. Every taco I ate kept

  • Maddy Grayson

Ok, we just got home with our carry out order of 3 Chicago dogs and 2 fish tacos. All 3 hot dogs smell like moth balls, have stale buns and dried out dogs they should be ASHAMED to sell. We each took one bite, spit it out and threw them in

This is the kind of restaurant that I strive to find. No frills with creative menu choices and amazing tastes. 10/10 will come back again to try the rest of the menu. 3 words: Ahi crunch wrap. Get it. You won't be disappointed. Fish and

  • Alexis Bonaparte

Nice little spot, all the tacos were priced at $3.19 with a range of types of meat and complex toppings to enhance the flavor. It wasn't your traditional onions and cilantro Mexican signature, but their twist on the fan favorite was

  • TJ Travels

The tacos were super good. Shrimp , fish & lamb gyro . The cocktail sauce is very nice. Soft shell crab really stands out, the whole shape and flavor is excellent . All the COVID rules are followed. Food was made to order, loved it.

  • Chris Lazar (StarLazar)

The recommendations the cashier made were pretty stellar. I wasn't a huge fan of the short rib taco that I had. I don't remember the name perse but it was something with a sweet sauce/jam on top and it just didn't go together.

  • Morgan McKinnon

Cashier was very rude and said I seemed uptight when I was ordering. I thought he was joking at first and then he said “my impression of you is that you’re uptight.” Kind of off putting when you’re just ordering food.

  • Marla Minnella

Shrimp and chips basket hit my late night craving! Fries were seasoned perfectly and the shrimp batter was tasty!! The cocktail sauce it comes with isn’t too spicy and complimented the shrimp and fries well!

  • Grace Kleaveland

tried this place bc of the good google rating but it was mid at best. fish tacos were mushy and bland. tried the shredded beef as well and it was dry and lacked flavor, but not as bad as the fish. More

I lived in New Orleans for 13 years, so I'm picky about fried fish...but this basket was perfectly done and very flavorful. Fries were great, too I ate every bite!
