4-star BIG & little's brings Chicago street food into Midway

BIG & little's runs at a solid 4-star rating, so expectations can sit higher than typical fast food in the Main terminal at MDW. It’s the same Chicago-born brand known in the city for tacos and riffy takes on street food, now dropped into airport form. You’re not getting white tablecloths here; think quick counter order, food in hand fast enough to eat before boarding.

The listing shows “Main” rather than a specific concourse gate, so plan a few extra minutes to find it once you clear security in the main terminal area. Signage at Midway usually clusters food near the central food court and along the concourse spines, so expect BIG & little's somewhere in that post-security flow, not pre-security. If you’re tight on time between flights at MDW, aim to spot it on the overhead boards as soon as you exit the TSA checkpoint.

Price tier isn’t published here, but assume above basic fast food and below a sit-down grill, lining up with its 4-star reputation and Chicago street-food roots. That usually means you’re trading a few extra dollars for something more interesting than a $7 chain burger. If your budget is rigid, ask for prices before you commit to anything heavier than a basic taco or sandwich.

The menu isn’t broken out in this data, but BIG & little's inside Chicago is known for tacos, seafood items, and sandwiches, so expect some version of that theme at Midway. With a 4-star rating, odds favor those signature items over generic burgers or sides. If time allows, scan what people ahead of you order and match the high-volume picks; in airport operations that usually tracks to the better dishes.

Hours aren’t listed here, so treat BIG & little's as “core flight-bank” only: assume early morning openings may be limited and that late-night service might wind down after the last big departures. Practical move: on arrival at MDW, check the digital directory in the Main terminal for its exact location and posted hours before you count on it for a tight turn.
