   I had colleagues in town and took them to Big Star for a casual end-of-day dinner. Instead of breaking the proverbial bread, we shared queso. There were five of us and a booth was perfectly conducive to conversation. The vibe and food were great.

   We love Big Star! We had a larger group and we sat in the new section with the TVs so we could watch the Bears Game. The food and the Margs were delicious and we had amazing service!

   Antonio our server was amazing. The appetizers we ordered came out so fast we were still placing our taco order. Our 2 and 4 year old enjoyed playing with the foosball table. Tacos and margaritas were good. Elote portion was smaller than I expected but delicious. We arrived at 5 pm and it started to really get busy around 6 pm. Large indoor seating space.

    The experience was good based on the food and service. It was diminished by the number of dogs that were in the patio area. As large as the patio is there is space to separate dogs from those who do not have them. As a person with a pretty severe dog allergy that diminished my experience exponentially. Seeing a patron put a spoon from the restaurant in their dogs mouth was disgusting and concerning. Additionally my food was brought out on the same plate as another patron, and we both have food allergies that did not support that practice. It would be helpful if in the future the server verified that the food should be put on the same dish. I cannot imagine its conserving that much energy to not put all the food on the same plate.
