Service was amazing! They make their punch in house and all of the food we had was incredible. The gorilla fries...I'm still dreaming about them. The crawfish gorilla nutz?? Perfect blend of spice, seasoning and tenderness. There wasn't anything we tried that we weren't falling out the chair for with how good everything tasted. Cannot wait to come back!

I just tried the cabbage and mac n cheese. Both were tasty. However, the service left a lot to be desired and is an opportunity for growth. The lady behind the counter was small chatting with, I'm assuming, a customer at the counter when I walked in. When they finally stopped talking, she just stated at me. No, "How can I help you?'", or "Dining in or pick-up?" Nothing. I spoke to her and relayed that it was my first time there but she was no help. I finally told her my order, and she took it and my money and said,"You can sit down." Someone brought my sides out about 10 mins later, placed it on the table I was sitting at, and then walked without a word. Bad customer service can kill a business. I'd suggest they make some changes to improve that.

Mmmm. I was stuffed and the food was amazing lol It was my 2nd time eating here. Pick-up both times. 1st time, it took a loooong time to get my order, but it was delicious. This time it was ready when I opened the door aaaaannndd it was delicious. The grabbage (cabbage) was yummy, wings (jalapeño ranch & buffalo lemon) were wonderful and the fries were just...fries lol I liked the buffalo lemon flavor best. Wished the jalapeño ranch was HOT, but still an okay flavor. Strawberry waffles didn't even need syrup. They're like the 'dessert' of the meal I really like this spot. Yummy food and you get a lot of it.

I don't even need to see or taste their food. I ordered nearly two hours ago through Doordash. The Dasher had to wait at the store nearly 40 minutes. Now that I've finally received the order, and the food looks pretty good, I'm updating this review to say, I absolutely will not be eating at or ordering from this establishment again. The fries were not even cooked and the mac n cheese was extremely dry. This just may be the worst experience ever!

This food here was soooooo good. We went in the middle of the day on Saturday so they were BUSY. They truly make everything to order. Yes, we did wait an hour but there are signs that say this can happen. So I wasn't surprised but it was worth the wait. We got the gorilla platter, came with 18 wings. 3 flavors, we had the strawberry, wet honey lemon and gorilla. They were all delicious. We got fries, Mac and cheese and the grababage. All the sides were okay. We got all 3 flavors of waffles, strawberry, cookies and cream and cinnamon roll. They were extremely good. Not over cook and no gooey either. Just perfect. And last we had the chicken gorilla Nutz. Not for me but my husband loved them. We will definitely come again and get wings and waffles and order online so we don't have to wait. But the staff were so friendly and helpful to us while we were there. Give them a try.

It's wonderful when you have a restaurant within a 5 mile location from home what went well during my first visit to Gorilla nutz! The service came with a friendly smile. Food was served hot and within minutes. I can vouch for the fried pork chops, the chicken and two thumbs up on the sides of greens/cabbage and Gouda Mac! A go to snack will be these amazing Gorilla Nutz because I love Boudin! The food quality Was superb and platter & meal portions were enough to serve 2 persons.

Service was good and inviting. The ordering method was simple. The food was pretty good, will be coming back to try more of the menu.

I heard about this place and the new location on the radio. The interior is nice, I like the color scheme. There's plenty of seating. I ordered online and the estimated wait time was accurate. The food was, sadly, average. The spicy strawberry wings were not spicy and did not taste very strawberry-ish. The lamb chops were good, not seasoned much though. Strawberry waffles were unique and not too sweet so that was good. I was disappointed in the grabbage, it was really greasy and not seasoned that well. The Gouda Mac and cheese was GREAT, the Mac and cheese with the crawfish was okay, but the crawfish were frozen. Overall, I'm glad I supported a Black-owned business but I wouldn't return.

What's the most unique wing flavor you've ever tried? How about Spicy Strawberry? That's just what I had the pleasure of eating when I visited Gorilla Nutz on Live Oak, inside Uptown Eats. I enjoy new and interesting flavors, but I would have never imagined Strawberry Chicken Wings, but they are delicious! Wonderfully caramelized, sticky and sweet, on big, savory, tender wings. I don't get over to Dallas often, so I couldn't stop at wings. On the side, I had their Grabbage (mix of greens and cabbage) which is a terrific spin on classic greens. The two are a great counter balance, adding flavor to the cabbage, while eliminating the bitterness that turns people away from greens. (I'm not one of those people, but mixing the two is truly the best of both worlds). I also had the Gouda Mac & Cheese, which is rich and sticky - just the way I like Mac & Cheese. I had to stop there, because that was more than enough food, but I am so anxious to stop back for the Lamb Chops, Shrimp and Grits and their other unique wing flavors! Along with some more traditional flavors, Gorilla Nutz also serves up Buffalo Lemon, Wet Honey Lemon and Tropical Lime! This is a shared kitchen, and all carry-out, so know that before you go. Check out Gorilla Nutz. You have never had food quite like this!

Gorilla Nutz is a mid-sized spot where you can sit in and enjoy your meal. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the man at the register was exceptionally friendly and helpful, taking the time to talk me through the menu and help me decide what to try. We ordered the buffalo wings and the legendary strawberry wings. I was initially skeptical about the strawberry wings, but they were absolutely delicious--I couldn't stop eating them! Both flavors were cooked to perfection. The mac and cheese was tasty, and the street corn, while different from the traditional style I'm used to, was an enjoyable twist served casserole-style. I also tried the sweet tea. While I prefer southern-style sweet tea, this version had a slight lemon touch that was still refreshing and good. The meals also come with waffles but I didn't try them because I was too full. Overall, the food and service were excellent, and I'd definitely recommend checking out Gorilla Nutz if you're in the area!

We walked in to an empty restaurant but I'm so glad we decided to stay! These folks were very friendly!! Customer service was on point! The wings were great! We had the tropical lime, gorilla & buffalo lemon. We were careful to ask that they not be over cooked after reading reviews. They were cooked perfectly!! And those flavors were fire The Mac and cheese had a great flavor and texture. The corn had good flavor but was overly cheesy! Good street corn just has a bit on the top. The fries were nice, fresh and crispy not soggy. The greens were definitely Glory mixed with cabbage. The flavor of those canned greens is very distinct so I could taste it. And the cabbage was too mushy in the greens. Please don't short cut on the greens. Try a sauté method on fresh greens and add in the cabbage when they're nearly done. I stopped eating Glory because of the preservative taste. Those could have been much better on the palate. The Gorilla Nutz were nice. They were served with cheese but we put that on the side cause well, Mac n cheese, corn n cheese, sooo ‍ we didn't eat more cheese. The waffles tasted soft and like they had been pre-cooked. A fresh waffle would've been great but we ate them nonetheless. The shrimp and grits were also very tasty, however, they were floating in some type of oil. We couldn't tell if it was butter and olive oil or just oil. It was a bit too much. We used a napkin to get some of it out. The grits could have cooked a few more minutes. The texture was a tad gritty but that happens with grits. Otherwise very good! We will return. It was worth the drive out especially to support a BOB! We've got to try that lemonade next time!

Shrimp and grits lovers--do not sleep on Gorilla Nuts in South Arlington! This spot on Matlock serves up the most flavorful, well-balanced, and satisfying shrimp and grits I've ever tasted. The shrimp were cooked to perfection, the grits were creamy and rich, and the whole dish was bursting with flavor. On top of that, the staff was super friendly and the vibe was great. 10/10 recommend if you're craving something delicious to add to your foodie bucket list. #Shrimp #Grits #Food #Restaurant #Arlington #Foodie #Vibes #Gorillanuts
