Since it's next to the AMC, you might want to time your movie going to take advantage of that deal. It's also well air conditioned, has a couple different seating areas and nice patio. If you don't know what to have, the counter people are helpful-- we didn't feel rushed. Chicago dog did NOT have a poppy seed bun which was a bummer (also wasn't steamed) and the piccalilli was pretty sweet but it was a good bite. Italian beef in a cup was a good keto option and the cheeseburger slider was tasty, juicy, and nicely medium rare. Skin on fries were a bit flaccid-- turn up the temp in the fryer. Worth stopping by as a value snack, esp before a movie. More like 3.5/5

The Fire Chicken Bowl definitely has a bit of a kick; I'm not big on spicy food, but my mom enjoyed it. The Korean BBQ Chicken Bowl had sauce that soaked nicely into the rice and tasted great, though the chicken itself was a bit bland. I recommend getting an extra side of Garlic Parmesan Aioli to dip the chicken in. It made a big difference. Overall, the bowls were pretty filling, and we enjoyed them.

Yes the place is run down and dated but you are not here for the ambiance or decor you are here for the delicious wings which they have the best! Everyone in my group was blown away by how delicious the wings were and we all will be back anytime we are visiting Chicago!

This spot is such a classic! I have been coming here for many years and always love coming back…read more Just an FYI that it is cash only. They also have an ATM machine if you don't have cash. Generally this location is usually pretty busy almost every time I have been here. Not too loud, definitely a place where you chill and hang with your friends over some wonderful wings! The food comes out pretty fast though & it's a spot where you can order, eat, and leave in a reasonable time. The wings have gotten a little smaller over the years, but I still come back because it's just so good. My usual order are the spicy wings and waffle fries. Something about the waffle fries that make it so good. I always have to have it. The wings.....you can't stop after a few. It's also addicting and you have to eat another one. Writing this makes me want to go on another road trip to get wings and waffle fries now!

My first thought was, "This is like Chipotle, if Chipotle was actually good," and I'm sticking with that. Perhaps that can be the new slogan for Guzman y Gomez. Run with it, put it on your bags and cups, just make sure to pay me back in free burritos. It's not exactly the same model as Chipotle. You don't watch the magic happen, so there's no opportunity to request a little more of this or a bit less of that. But the staff here are so eager to please, I always find I get exactly what I was looking for anyway. If you need a little more of anything, just ask, and they're happy to oblige. Plus, this place has so many more options than Chipotle, it's crazy. Better food, better atmosphere, just better overall. During my first visit, I had the pleasure of chatting with one of the chefs, Dustin, and I could hear the passion for cooking in how he spoke about this role here. He broke down all their vegan options for me and made sure my first burrito was an absolute hit. It's probably that first visit that got me hooked, so G y G is lucky to have a guy like him. Two vegan mayos, chipotle or herb, both delicious. Pulled shiitake mushroom, seasoned beautifully and cooked to order. Perfectly cooked rice, yummy fajita veggies, salsa options galore, it was all spot on. Super authentic Mexican? No, but that's ok. "Inspired by authentic Mexican food" is fine by me. And how'd they manage to get so many friendly employees? I've been here a half a dozen times, and everyone is so damn chipper and happy to help. Plus, the music is upbeat and fun, not some dreary corporate playlist. I actually *want* to eat in, which I rarely look forward to in a fast food spot. I'm loving it. There are times when you just need something satisfying and fast that doesn't break the bank. This place brings that energy via fresh ingredients prepared with expertise. Plus, as I said, Chipotle is garbage. I'm glad Guzman y Gomez decided to pop up in Evanston.

They charge extra for sour cream, but have three salsas in dispensers out by the drinks dispenser, along with onions, cilantro, and sliced jalapenos, and they give you a few tortilla chips with your bowl. Overall, not a bad deal. The chicken was well-cooked. The green salsa was a tad spicier than I'm used to, and the chipotle salsa was a little milder than I expected. Bathroom was clean. On a Thursday evening, the place was fairly crowded, but seating was still available. I'd go again.

I was able to smell the chicken a block away, so I had to try them…read more This place is a cute little hole in the wall. I ordered the 4 piece dark with mild sauce and a small rib tip. I also ordered a side of cole slaw and red beans and rice. The guy behind the counter said they don't have mild sauce for the chicken. Then he told me the sauces that they had, so I said no sauce. I guess he was also relating the sauces for the rib tips when I already said no sauce. They cook the chicken fresh and may take a little time. When I got home, I was ready to dig in but I found out the sauce discussion left my rib tips with no bbq sauce. I called them and a nice lady told me I would be taken care of the next time, I visit. Thank goodness, I had bbq sauce. But I tried the tips without sauce and they were seasoned well. I put on some Sweet Baby Rays on them and dang it was good. The tips were tender and a lot of meat. The chicken was so good that I wish I would have gotten more. It was seasoned and crunchy. The Cole slaw was okay and the red beans and rice was good, just which it had a little more pot liquor. I would definitely go back. Also the prices that they have online is really outdated.

I would rather endure the pain of the Gympie Gympie plant sting, better yet, consume regurgitated bird seed topped with a glaze of mystery trash can liquid, even better yet, I would rather eat a Plethora of highly infectious fungi, rather than eat this horrific meal again. not only was the meal heinous, the service was horrific. I aged approximately 20 years after waiting in this empty shell of a restaurant. This store, better yet, the company is a waste of resources that can be used for genuinely useful purpose. This restaurant is the epitome of slop and a cash grab, I never had huge expectations for this establishment, however any semblance of hope I had for this meal to be enjoyable at all, has been shattered. I pray that the staff, which are entrapped by their company contracts, free themselves as soon as possible and look for an occupation that is worth their time. How could a human being possibly spend any sort of their precious life in such a lifeless and appalling workplace? If Dante's inferno had a 10th level, this store would be an accurate representation of such place. A place in which the utmost of humanities greed and gluttony festers within the confines of this establishment, is how i would describe this place. If Sisyphus was forced to eat at noodles in company for all of eternity, instead of pushing the rock up the mountain for all of eternity, I do not think he could do it. this meal required me to muster the entirety of my courage in order for me to take a measly two bites. in conclusion, the hatred I am feeling for this establishment at this exact moment in time is so severe I do not think anything could ever make me more enraged. so congratulations, you've pushed yet another customer to their absolute limit via your horrific rendition of pad Thai. The Snoodle doodle cookie was good though. 1 star. Would not even recommend to someone that is starving. Sincerely, Ben N.

I will cash in my gift cards and stay away. I do not think black people are accepted in the store so I will not go back. This is very disheartening but there are plenty of places to get food from in Evanston. Tyra Holloway

Ordering was easy on their digital tablet. they had tables both inside and outside, and since the air-conditioning was cranked, we decided to eat outside. It was so nice that their staff delivered the food to our table. I got their Elechik'n sandwich and fries, while my daughter chose the Thai Sweet Chili Grain Bowl and an Oreo shake. Overall, everything tasted great, except I felt their sandwich was a bit salty. This isn't fine dining by any means, it's more of a vegan fast food restaurant. I love that they had various vegan and animal rights magazines on the counter for patrons to read. Also, the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. We learned that this location recently got a soft serve ice cream machine and they can make sundaes. We'll have to try that another time!
