Big Ed's Main Street Soda Grill - American restaurant in Vermilion - 5502 Liberty Ave, USA

What an amazing place. This is truly Heaven by the lake. The nostalgia of all the classic items throughout the restaurant and the service was outstanding. Best service we have had in a long time. They are a 10/10. Don’t pass this place up. Because of the service we will be back and the food is the bonus. It was so delicious and filling. I can’t put it in words that are worthy enough for how good it was. Don’t walk but run here for multiple meals. I can’t wait to go back again. Love it!!!

This is an awesome place. You get them old school type of vibes, food is delicious, and those milkshakes are a MUST! Staff is always very friendly and make you feel very welcomed. My family visits this place every year when we are up this way and always pleased when we leave!

Wow this place has it All! We stumbled upon this gem of an eatery on 4th of July while we were out on the bike. Stopped in vermilion to check out the water and sites and spotted this place right away. The ambiance was amazing a soda shop with tons of memorabilia. Everyone employed here was smiling, nice, and attentive. Even the young man washing the dishes greeted us when we walked in Kendall was our server and she was amazing! She was sweet and had an infectious smile. We ordered burgers and fries and I can't go on enough about how good they were. And hot! I don't think I've had food come out so quickly and be that hot. I also had a chocolate malt and it was delicious. The prices were very good under $30 B4 tip. This is definitely a must stop place if you visit Vermilion!.

Highly recommend this Sofa Grill, not only was the food delicious and the service was perfect, but it was so much fun to dine in and listen to old music (70s) and enjoy the memorabilia. The milkshakes are SO good! Honestly, an appetizer and the milkshake would have been enough, because the milkshake is so filling, but that’ll be for next time.

If there were 10 stars I would give this gem 11! First time here and tried the schooner, a Chicago style dog. Plenty of variety with the dogs, burgers , and milkshakes! Can't believe I have not been here sooner. Everyone that visits Vermillion, must stop in at this amazing place!

What a fun little place to eat! My husband and I were passing by and he looked in and saw the old-fashioned soda bar, so we knew we had to pop in. We each got a chocolate shake and we also ordered onion rings and mozzarella sticks for a savory snack. Everything was delicious! The onion rings were perfectly fried and came with a delightful dipping sauce. The mozzarella sticks were melty and crispy and the milkshakes were soooo good. We were thrilled that we were given the remainder of our milkshakes from the blender mixing cups as well - we demolished alllll of that yummy chocolate shake goodness.

Big Ed's soda Grill is absolutely awesome! Wonderful retro ambiance, busy and focused workers, including the teenagers! And the food is absolutely delicious! My default order is a cheeseburger with fries and a chocolate shake. And let me tell you, each one of those items is an absolute favorite for me!

What a happy place! After several restaurants nearby were closed (or closing before the listed time) we happened on Big Ed’s. We were greeted warmly, had lucious ice cream treats and went on our way with a smile! Thanks to the staff for their great service and enthusiasm about what they do. You made our day.😀🍨
