Saturday Night Cheeseburger @ Big Catz BBQ

by MBIP


Live, from Knoxville, Illinois, it’s Saturday Night Cheeseburger starring this week’s host, Big Catz BBQ and featuring special guests, Artie and Michelle.

Now please welcome, all the way from Knoxville, Illinois, this week’s host, Big Catz BBQ!

There’s the Saturday night dinner driver, Artie Fowler, behind the wheel as he steers us to our location in Knoxville, Illinois for this week’s Saturday dinner at…

Big Catz BBQ!

And here we are, there’s the Big Catz Soundgarden, but there’s no live music tonight, so we’ll just head on inside the front doors and begin this week’s Saturday night adventure!

The sign says to seat yourself and so we went into the dining room and that’s just what we did!

There’s Artie seated at our booth and we’re all set for our Saturday night dinner!

We glanced at the menu and we found out that they have a nice cheeseburger selection. Perfect!

Here’s Michelle who took our order and delivered us a beer. Michelle owns Big Catz along with her parents Tom and Debbie Worden.

It’s hard to believe, but the last time I was here was seven years ago when they won the MBIP Sandwich of the year award. Seven years? Fun flies when you’re having time!

The bar was completely full, so I wasn’t able to get a shot of the beers on tap. Sorry about that!

There’s the gaming area and pictures of Abraham Lincoln and Da Bears!

There’s a corner of the dining area, a nice Pabst mirror and some of the daily specials on the walls in here.

Check out the Big Catz BBQ signage and branding happening in here.

Meanwhile, back at our booth…

Our Saturday night dinner is being delivered!

We started out with an appetizer order of the Sweet BBQ Chicken Wings and they were absolutely juicy and delicious!

Artie got the four piece fried chicken dinner and I got the Bourbon and Bacon Burger with homemade cole slaw.

There’s Artie digging in to his fried chicken dinner and he said it was delicious and gave it a high rating!

The homemade coleslaw was crispy and delicious and the cheeseburger looks fantastic!

It’s topped with haystack onion rings and I got mine with pepperjack cheese and they serve it up with their homemade bourbon sauce and this is such a tasty cheeseburger!

All the flavors blend well together, the burger is seasoned perfectly and it’s served on a toasted and bakery fresh bun. It’s a delicious and classic cheeseburger!
