Chicago Munchies - Crispy Chicken Sandwich & Fries - Fish & Chips Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

SERVICE: 5 FOOD QUALITY: 1 DRINK QUALITY: N/A ORDER TIME: 1 AESTHETICS: 1 NOISE LEVEL: N/A MENU SELECTION: 3 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 2.2 Think of this place as a low end fast food restaurant with no drive through. Ordered nuggets which were not good. They were super thin fake meat nuggets which made them extra chewy. The fries were your typical thick frozen fries. Fast food takes a few minutes from order to get your food. Took 20 minutes to get my food. The employee at the register was very nice which saved this from a 1 star. read more

Very nice people and that really is the only good thing I could say about this restaurant. Food was made in old oil so it tasted old and burnt. I had heard good things about this place so I gave it a shot so maybe I caught them all on a off night I don't know but it just was a bad experience!! read more

A little dirty and lots of homeless hangout, but the food was amazing. Had the chicken wings and a cheese stake and chicken. Pro tip, order ahead. They get backed up. read more

Went in for their wings for the first time. The wait was a little longer than expected and they weren't too busy. Plenty of parking spaces in the lot, but expect to pickup and go. Their seating area is not that well maintained and i dont believe its the best place to dine in. The food however was really good and it cameout hot and fresh. I'm a huge fan of their seasoning and fries. They also do not have any diet products in their soda fountain. Overall 4 Food 5 Service 4.5 Atmosphere 2 read more

I purchased the 4 piece catfish filet and fries meal for the third time ever on Tuesday 7-9-24. The first 2 times everything was delicious. The third time, my fish was dried out/not edible for me. I didn't feel like coming back out that day because I live about 20 minutes away, so I stored the food in my refrigerator and gave them a call today Friday 7-12-24. I was told that since I didn't come back on Tuesday, that there's nothing they can do for me. All I wanted was my food replaced! read more

thank on you Joan!! for everything you do for a service. Great food is the best chicken place for Miles. Keep it up. Jason

I'd been meaning to try out Chicago Munchies mostly to test out their Philly cheesesteak - and I was pleasantly surprised. Philly steaks can be a huge miss if the meat is chewy or if the meat to cheese sauce ratio is off - but these guys definitely nailed it. In addition, I was really excited to see that they have a complete zabihah halal menu which only a handful of restaurants in town offer. Each sandwich is decently priced with a large side of fries and a drink. And they have daily specials Monday thru Thursday. Check out my menu pix. Will definitely be back to try out their famous fried fish and other sandwiches! read more

Tried this place for the first time and my family and I really liked it. Their Philly Cheese Steak sandwich with hot peppers was delicious! My kids enjoyed the cheeseburger and I really liked the double cheese burger with gyros. Everything on the menu comes with fries and drinks and since we didn't need that many drinks they gave us bottled water for the remaining drinks. The lady who helped me with my order was really nice. It's hard finding Halal burger joints here so this one's a keeper. read more

Walked in and walked out. $15 for a cheeseburger? I know we're in a recession, but wow. That better be the best burger I've ever had. Crazy prices! read more

There have been at least 2 or 3 other attempts at a food spot in this location in the 8 years I have been in Kalamazoo, with varying degrees of success. Obviously none of them were successful enough to last. THIS one has some serious potential. The format is a typical urban neighborhood food joint. Mostly fried foods such as chicken, fish, shrimp are the mainstays. They also serve a variety of sandwiches such as versions of the Philly steak, burgers, chicken, fish, polish, and even gyros! The menu is pretty deep for a corner shop. First impressions. Based on previous visits (former food spots) at this spot, I was expecting what I call "shabby hood chic" which is basically clean enough to pass inspection but obviously decor is not a priority. I was pleasantly surprised. The interior is very clean and well lit. The paint scheme is colorful. There is even a flat screen in the ceiling corner that was playing kid friendly movies. Approaching the counter I was immediately greeted by a very friendly counter person. She told me to take my time as I stated I wasn't familiar with the menu. I ended up going with an old staple of mine - fried chicken wings. I use that as a litmus test for neighborhood joints. If they can't do wings well, I'm not trying anything else! It took about 15 minutes or so to receive my order, although there were only 2 other people ahead of me. But that is to be expected, as it's not "fast food" but more "cooked to order". The chicken was absolutely great! The wings weren't tiny. They were plump and juicy and the breading had just enough crunch. As typical, they tend to be heavy handed with the seasoning (unless you request them not to be), but I also typically like that. They have a small self serve area with additional seasonings and condiments, including a mysterious one labeled only as "crack". It smelled tasty so I added that to my order. It tasted fantastic on the wings! I definitely plan to return to try some other items on the menu, although I was warned away from the catfish nuggets by a friend that preceded my visit to Chicago Munchies. According to him, the portion was HUGE but the nuggets were a bit over "hard" and there were bones. Bones in catfish nuggets is a deal breaker for me so I wont be trying them. But there is a whole menu of items I WILL be trying! Looks like Fish Express over on Riverside has a serious contender :) TIP: Parking can be tricky as the small lot is shared by a popular beauty shop/store an a credit union. There are usually open spots near the north entry of the lot, near the dumpster. read more

Okee doke...where do I begin? Well, I'm in town for the weekend and I was searching Yelp for a place that serves fish. This place came up. I haven't lived in Kalamazoo for at least 20 years so the area didn't raise any red flags. As I walked into the restaraunt I was struck by the number of "NO LOITERING" signs inside and in the parking lot. There was one man waiting for his food but other than that, no one was around. The counter area was protected by glass and I had to bend down to speak in an opening. I was only a few words into my order when I was interupted with, "HUH??" This happened several times until I was able to finish telling the cashier what I would like. So as I'm waiting....THIRTY MINUTES.....for my food to be ready the parking lot quickly fills up with loiterers. There seems to be a large extended family with kids and about a dozen young men. There's a small fight that breaks out, some type of domestic disput, and some guy barges in spewing vulgarities about the price of the perch dinner. The cashier asks me what type of pepsi product do I want with my meal. They don't serve diet pepsi (wait, what?) so I opt for a bottle of water. Getting out of the building was challenging as it was blocked by about half dozen loitering men engulfed in the thickest cloud of marijuana smoke I've ever experienced since college. I quickly got in my car and got the hell out of there. As for the food, I can't really complain but it wasn't what I was expecting. I didn't eat most of it. But I can't really recommend this place as "family friendly" or really even recommend it period. I wish the owners good luck but please do something about the loiterers. read more
