It was supposed to be a 1/4 pound. It had to be near 1/2 point. Nidely charred and crisp. It was on a sesame bun and had lettuce pickles, onions and tomato and a nice sauce. It was amazing. The onion rings were good, but I thought didn't have the onion taste I was looking for. The fries were crisp and all in all it was way too much food. The service is quick and it seems to be a popular place. It seems almost like a Harolds with a stark front with plexiglass window to place your order and pick up food. It's a bit off-putting. I don't think it's in a bad neighborhood so it's a bit like overkill on the security. Particularly since it's in a strip mall.

5 stars the best wings in Chicago by far!…read more Took a bunch of first timers here and they were like what are we doing in the middle of Evanston? 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!

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!

This used to be Good Guys Burgers…read more Apparently under new management. Took a chance on gas station burgers like I did gas station tacos last year. Bot times I was pleasantly surprised. No food poisoning. Alright, so the beef is a bit salty but the quality of the ingredients beats Epic and the other places that want $16 for a goddamn burger. Super fresh brioche buns, good selection of fresh veggie toppings. These guys want $9-12 for great smash burgers. Plus fries, quality thin cut. I'd suggest keeping it simple and not getting cheese or anything on there. They're not there yet. Growing pains. Drinks from the gas station selection. No booze. No seating area - take out only. Their tech is not up to snuff, but the cook knows his stuff. Breath of fresh air compared to the prison grub quality shite up here. I'm really hoping they get some good business to stay open and give those other overpriced slop houses we all know on the north shore a run for their money.

The food was amazing, especially the BRISKET which is hard to find in Chicago! The FRIES are very unique and seasoned, somewhat of a different texture, flavor and seasoning than regular French fries so I was very pleased. I also had the greens and Mac and cheese. The greens could use some smoked turkey or flavoring. You won't be disappointed! I also want to say that after my first visit, I came back two (2) days in a row! I am appreciative of the staff, CONSISTENT smoked/barbecue food selections, which is a rarity, and great prices, especially the Specials.

Better to go to a small independent business than to a chain. In Niles there's a place for peri…read moreperi that's not Nando's or Port Of Peri Peri. Flame On Peri Peri is a singular restaurant serving hot ass food. Kind of seems like it mixes American fast food with Mediterranean options such as chicken and falafel among protein options. This type of cuisine typically uses meat but there's a falafel option for those getting the meaty stuff. After hearing about it one time, I came here. It's located in a nice strip mall building, modern looking. This is an order at the counter type of restaurant. Has some spicy ass food. There's a sort of Mediterranean fast food kind of feel too. It's about $10 for one of the Rice Bowls. The vegan option for protein is the falafel. These were plentiful, a good value. Also you get a choice of sauce, and I got the creamy hummus. This also came with hot and white garlic sauce. It was fucking ass hot. This had serious hot peppers in there. For sure I would go here again. It's expensive so not all the time of course. There's a pretty big menu full of options like bowls, pitas, and salads, and there's options for both meat eaters and vegetarians.

In the meantime, I ordered a Hot Chick (medium heat), with a side of fries, some extra pickles, and the garlic sauce to make my Slavic heart happy. The food came out fresh from the bubbling oil, it could be handled without burns, but clearly spent no time under a lamp. Both the chicken and the fries were fried to a delectable crunch. No twice-fried-as-an-excuse here, genuinely well done. My only note is that it feels as though the fries and chicken *may* have spent an extra 15 seconds in the fryer. While the innards were tender, it felt as though a tinge of moisture was sacrificed without need. The fries were seasoned perfectly, and other than the usual delight of dipping them into everything on the plate, they were perfect as they were. Fantastic amount too, not the starch overload of Five Guys, but not a skimpy serving either. The chicken sandwich was the real star. The medium contained some proper spice without having smoke come out the ears. It was well sauced, and had a great hit of acid from the pickles. Out of left field came the slaw: I was not expecting to like this to the point of almost leaving it out. However, it was fresh, felt homemade, and wasn't a mayonnaise bomb. Would order the again without complaints or reservations. I also had a chance to try their house-made lemonade. I appreciate that they use zero-calorie sweetener to cut down on sugars. However, it came out too sweet for my liking. It would be helpful to have options of level and type of sweet. Final notes: The server behind the counter was very welcoming and friendly, and the food came out in a reasonable time frame considering how fresh everything was. Final verdict: A case where I say it's a good thing Nash Bros is a little bit of a hike, otherwise I might visit too much for my health. Barring some minor notes, everything was scrumptious, and I'd happily order it all again (and likely will!)

I checked out this restaurant for the first time recently as we were in the area and wanted to grab…read moredinner. So we decided to give Nash Bros a try. We got here about 30 minutes before closing time. The restaurant was somewhat busy w/ dine-in and carry-out orders. I ordered their original Nashville Hot fried chicken sandwich made Xtra Hot based on their heat level offerings (which was the highest heat level) and my wife ordered their Honey Butter fried chicken sandwich with mild heat level. I also got their House Fries that were seasoned crinkle cut fries. We asked for cups of water but were told that they were out of cups, so either buy water or can of pop. They did not have fountain drinks. The food came out shortly. My etra hot sandwich tray was tagged as 'Hot' w/ three symbols. I asked them if that meant the sandwich was just 'Hot' and not 'Xtra Hot' and I was told that if I ordered extra hot then it meant it was extra hot. My sandwich was really delicious. The flavor was good and the texture was nice. The Xtra Hot flavor was not overwhelming but also it did not seem like the extra hot they said I should be mindful of because it was going to be very spicy. My sandwich was decently crunchy and the pickles and coleslaw had a tad bit of sweetness that went well with the heat of the fried chicken. The Brioche bun was well toasted. The fried chicken patty was decent in size. The Honey Butter fried chicken was a major letdown. It's a sandwich in Brioche bun w/ fried chicken and only spicy honey butter (no pickles or slaw). The bun and the fried chicken were drenched in melted butter but there was no taste of sweet heat or just sweet honey. The fried chicken patty didn't have any flavor either. We mentioned it to the staff members and they apologized for the way it turned out for us. The crinkle cut fries were okay. They were soft and unevenly seasoned. The seasoning was decent in taste. Overall, we had a decent experience. The service was okay. My original Nashville hot chicken was delicious but the Honey Butter chicken sandwich was anything but delicious. The restaurant aesthetics were decent. They have a live band performance area. It's a nice, friendly restaurant with a decent menu variety. We weren't wowed by the food but I would say that the original Nashville Hot fried chicken sandwich was worth trying.
