50 Best Chicken Wings near Elmwood Park

“was here with cousin, had good time, bartender Paula was best, offered menus & prompt service. the cheeseburger 🍔 is HEAVEN! 😓 HA.“

“Very nice place. Great service,respectful bartenders..“

“Once I placed my order, I called to request a few special modifications. I was pleasantly surprised when my food arrived—it was hot, fresh, and absolutely flavorful! Everything was prepared exactly the way I requested, and I truly appreciate the employees for paying attention to every detail. I spent about $80 on wings, and they were definitely worth every penny. Thank you for the amazing service and delicious food!“

“We went last night for the first time… Great menu options, food was delicious, portions were perfect, staff was really nice. I had the Grilled Salmon, he had the Braised Pork Shoulder…definitely recommend both.“

“First and foremost, the staff is hands down the best! Literally the friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered! And I’ve tried a few things on the menu and nothing has been a let down. Usually I regret straying from “the usual” but I never do here. The crab rangoon is the best I’ve ever had, the wings surprised me with how tasty and well cooked they were, the basil chicken egg rolls were bomb (so is the basil chicken over rice), and the Khao Soi is a best seller for a reason!“

“Food very good and customer service is great“

“Charleys Cheesesteaks & Wings is a great spot for a quick and delicious meal. Their cheesesteaks are packed with flavorful, grilled steak, melted cheese, and fresh toppings on a toasted roll. The wings are also a highlight, with plenty of sauces and seasonings to choose from. The portions are satisfying, and the food is best enjoyed fresh and hot. Overall, Charleys offers tasty food, good variety, and a convenient dining experience. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys cheesesteaks, wings, and fries!“

“When it comes to hidden gems in The Windy City, Budacki's Drive In can be counted among them. It's practically tucked away in the Ravenswood neighborhood near a school, but quite an awesome find for quintessential Chi-Town staples such as the Italian beef and the red hot.

I have a cousin who grew up within walking distance of Budacki's so it's a huge part of his life story, even after he moved to the suburbs. That said, he tends to take me or my older brother here whenever either one of us come to visit from Texas. It's safe to say that we share his immense love for the nearly 50-year-old hole in the wall.

Up until Thursday, I had two visits. For my most recent one, I ordered the Letter A , or the red hot combo. Aside from a pair of what I believe are the best hot dogs in the world, the meal comes with fresh cut fries and a drink. I confess that I didn't get a good look on the price, but I can assure you that you get your money's worth.

Each of the red hots was made fresh and specific to my request. I wanted them dragged through the garden, and the kitchen staff delivered. What I sunk my teeth into are a Vienna beef decorated with a tomato, sport peppers, a pickle spear, onions and hints of salt and mustard. All of which are held together in a soft bun.

The dogs were paired with a delicious, abundant amount of fries. They were so good that I finished them even before the tube steaks themselves. In Chicago, it's nearly a law to keep your red hots free of ketchup and on your fries, but I ate my long taters without ketchup. That's how tasty they were. Before I forget, I should mention that there's an outdoor dining area for customers to enjoy their food at.

The neighborhood Budacki's is in has gone through several changes, but the restaurant has withstood the test of time. Sadly, however, the heir to the business, Jae Lee, recently passed away. And this review is dedicated to his memory.“

“Went here with my Auntie, Fizi and Nick was very friendly with us, they were guiding us throughout the way and even pointed out what we can do to get a discount. We presented a coupon but we forgot to check the date, it was invalid to use already. But then Fizi helped us with the app and we got the $5 discount (not much but it’s something) Then Nick was friendly and attentive with our food as well. Great staff, good food, good price. Good job 👏“

“I love the variety of options available and the weekly deals are great. The staff @ oak park location are very kind.“

“I've driven by the place for a year and kept thinking I should drop in. Finally stopped for a slice last month, and went back to try their smash burger just recently.

Love the place. They have excellent food and a kicky little interior, but I loved chatting with the owner as he made my food. One of the owners, at least. Anyway, curious to try their other offerings, and happy to meet a local small business owner and find them to be just good people. To me, that has more impact than the menu. But the menu is worth the trip, all the same!

I know the owner reads these reviews, so I say thank you for your excellent efforts. It's not a small thing to feed strangers food made with care and love, and it matters to some of us when we see it. Nothing but the best to you, my friend.“

“Food was great! I ordered the 20pc meal deal traditional wings with cajun fries for 2-3 ppl + a side of mac&cheese. Buffalo lemon pepper and sweet chili were delicious! Really great wing spot. Just very bummed that I did not receive my mac&cheese in my order…would’ve loved to try it and didn’t think I’d have to double check to make sure I got all that I ordered :/ Only reason I didn’t give this place 5 stars..“

“Service and food is great. I found the place by accident“

“The food was absolutely amazing! It was so hard to choose what to get with such a big variety to choose from that all looked and sounded amazing!! We definitely had the wings that were soooo sooo delicious and some other stuff that also was amazing! Took about 40 minutes to get there but so worth the trip and will be a regular spot to visit! Can’t wait to come back!!!“

“I had heard Monti's was the best place to get a Philly in Chicago, and since I've been craving one lately, I had to give it a try. I can honestly say it's the best Philly I've had in Chicago and the surrounding areas. It definitely did not disappoint.
I ordered mine with extra mayo and white American cheese, and it was absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly, the service was great, and the whole experience lived up to the hype. I highly recommend giving Monti's a try if you're looking for an authentic Philly cheesesteak!“

“The wings themselves are always cooked just right - crispy skin, juicy inside. And the sauce selection? Forget about it. Lemon Pepper is a classic for a reason, but I'm also a huge fan of Mango Habanero

for that sweet-and-spicy combo“

“🔥 Highly Recommended! Flame On Peri Peri is hands down one of the best spots for flavorful, juicy peri peri chicken! The spice levels are just right, the portions are generous, and the service is fast and friendly. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or dining with family, this place never disappoints. Don’t miss the loaded fries and their signature sauces — 10/10!“

“Food was great staff member Johan was very responsive to double checking my order when I asked him to. Only bad experience Stephanie had a very bad attitude problem or rolling eyes not ok with me. Employee needs to be trained again in customer service thank you“

“Stopped in for some much needed food after a long flight, and man was it worth it! Mike the bartender immediately started cracking jokes and welcomed me to the city with a smile. The food was amazing (definitely recommend the chicken sandwich), and the beers were well priced! They also have daily specials. Will come back here ASAP the next time I’m back in Chicago!“

“Amazing dine-in pizza spot. Unique pizzas by the slice means everyone can try something different. Their pulled pork pizza is the best slice I've ever eaten, bar none. Cheese curds are delicious too!“

“Weve had Rosati’s before so many times (who hasn’t?) but we have been coming to this specific location for 2 years countless times & it has become a favorite!
The pizza is always cooked perfectly-No matter the time of day-We’ve Had it at 1 PM and 1 AM and yet it still taste amazing every time!
It has been so consistently good that when we have friends from out of state we take them here for pizza & it’s a huge hit with them! So much so where they now ask “Can we go to Rosati’s again when I come back?”
Lastly, the staff are the sweetest people! Not to mention, they also are the most patient people on earth because we have been there on many busy afternoons and late nights (where let’s just say people are not acting the most classy after drinking) and yet they always are so kind to everyone. They even give out little fries & extras (:
I could go on and on about this location, but if you ever have the chance to go or debating on going- go for it! We are so glad that we accidentally found this little place on a random day 2 years ago!
Btw: We are Vegetarian & I know some people hate on cheese pizza because it is “too plain“ but The cheese pizza here is amazing-You don’t even need any sausage or pepperoni!“

“I went after work (9/10/26) around 11 pm, the girl who took my order was super sweet and so nice. Everything I order was warm and tasty. Sometimes it’s not what you order is the way they take care(welcome)of you. Thank you again.“

“Great Food. Would highly recommend.“

“Chicken is excellent and tasty 😋 We always order here for so many years. Highly recommended to all my family members and friends. ☺️😋😍“

“our friend/landlord brought us to you all and it was so good and fresh and juicy and it was the best food I've ever had in a long time! I really recommend this place!!“

“The pizza is always delicious. One of the best pizzeria I’ve been in a while.“

“Just tried Pizzawala's and I'm already planning my trip back tomorrow, that's how good it was.

First off, the atmosphere? Super clean, tidy, and wide open with plenty of tables. It felt welcoming and spacious, not cramped at all.

Now the pizza top notch quality. You can tell they make it differently (literally their motto, and it shows). It doesn't taste like your typical Indian style pizza, it's got its own thing going on, and it works beautifully.

Here's the game changer, I sprinkled lime on it for the first time, and wow, that bright, tangy kick took it to another level. I ate the whole pizza by myself.

If you haven't been yet, go. And if you have, try it with lime. No Kidding.

UPDATE: I walked in, and the place was spotless clean, open, tons of seating, almost like they knew I was coming and wanted to impress me. (It worked.)

This time, I tried a different pizza because I'm a grown adult who makes bold decisions and wow. Their 'made differently' motto isn't just a tagline, it's a promise. It doesn't scream 'Indian pizza' it does its own thing, and it's beautiful.

Pizzawala's, you've officially become a habit. I'll see you tomorrow. (Probably.)“

“Dean always makes the visit; but the Wings, Buffalo chips and RC are what always bring us back.“

“Food is amazing! Highly recommend out of all the pizza places in Norridge, this beats the rest. Villa Napoli was my spot up until Rosattis came into the picture! Great team, very friendly and always have a positive attitude. Carlos is phenomenal!“

“The food there is delicious, fresh and well worth the money. I had ordered 5 meals from their and the price really was a wonderful surprise. It was a lot cheaper than I thought it was going to be. The staff there was very professional and the wait for my food was very fast and accurate. Great food, wonderful employees. I will definitely be eating there again real soon. I will take my son with me because he really loved the food.“

“If you are looking for an incredible dining experience that perfectly balances amazing flavor with high-quality ingredients, HALAL PIZZA POINT is an absolute must-visit. They manage to deliver an outstanding variety of options that keep you coming back for more.
​The crust strikes the perfect balance of crispy on the outside and wonderfully chewy on the inside, serving as the ideal foundation for their fresh toppings and flavorful sauce. Beyond the classic favorites, their specialty pies feature beautifully seasoned meats that set them apart from standard pizza spots.
​The service is consistently warm, welcoming, and prompt, making you feel right at home whether you are picking up a quick takeout order or dining in with family. For anyone seeking delicious, premium halal options, this spot truly hits the mark!“

“Food was good as hell frfr and u get a lot with the chicken Alfredo and broccoli 🥦“

“flaming hot chicken is legit 🔥, I will die over this“

“Great customer service, they’re very kind & ms Shelly is a sweetheart“

“Wingstop has some really great flavors, and the wings themselves are usually pretty tasty. I like the variety of sauces, especially Garlic Parmesan and Lemon Pepper. However, the wait time can sometimes be a bit long, and occasionally the wings aren’t as crispy as I’d like. Overall it's still a decent spot for wings, but consistency could be better.“

“Excelente servicio... amable, respetuoso y eficiente.“

“Came across this gem on our way to Chicago for a concert. Delicious wings and shrimp, generous portions, and most of all the owner was welcoming and engaging. Would definitely make a special trip back!“

“Muchas Gracias 🙏 a todo el Equipo de Apollo Campero especialmente a sus directivos y asociados muy lindo el cambio de colores y además ya hay salsa de México 🇲🇽 y muy pronto 🔜 prometieron el cambio de sus tortillas para mejorar muchas cosas buenas y su sabor único míl Gracias a su equipo de trabajo de parte de DeliaMar Mega Shop y Floreria DeliaMar les esperamos en Indiana nueva sucursal soon.“

“the wings were so good absolutely delicious food and nice staff , good for hangouts and good beer“

“Great experience at Popeyes! My food was delivered quickly and everything was fresh and delicious. I also really appreciated being accommodated with a free spicy chicken sandwich since my reward points weren’t showing correctly through the app. Fareed, the cashier, was so sweet and provided excellent customer service. Thank you for making my experience a great one!“

“Rosati's Pizza never fails to impress! Their pizzas are always loaded with fresh, quality toppings, and the crust is perfection. Every bite feels like a flavor explosion. Plus, their delivery service is fast and reliable. Rosati's has become my go-to for delicious pizza every time."“

“Everything very delicious try the quesabirrias!“

“Fantastic crispy chicken tenders. Mac & cheese was incredible as well.. worth every penny. Will be back to try rest of menu no doubt 🔥“

“Mason (director of ops) help my situation. Food is great as usual the staff was great just waited a bit longer than normal. I live in walking distance so I dont mind waiting cause I know the food is worth the wait. The ranch is amazing here too. Appreciate you all.“

“They have good food catfish filets and chopped tenders the cashier is very friendly been there for years I enjoy coming there for that cheese mild food always hot thanks Buffalo Sams“

“Truffle has and very clean and aesthetic environment, service was a decent time and food is hot and fresh , the server torey is very nice and attentive, makes sure you’re good and your meal is as well ,overall good experience would recommend!“

“Pleasantly surprised meeting friends for breakfast at this restaurant on the main level of a hotel in the O'Hare area. Conveniently located if you are staying in the area or before/after a flight or if you are picking someone up. Food was delicious. Service was excellent. Friendly servers who let us chat a while with no pressure to move along. Nice atmosphere and many options that looked appealing on the menu. Would go back when I'm in the area and would highly recommend stopping in for brunch/lunch.“

“Food is good but should be more consistent which orders. Normally we get 2 pieces of bread and now we only get one. Usually we get a bunch of hot and mild sauce and now we just get one of each. No pop with our dinners either when they usually come withcit. Usually when the Mexican ladies they be packing the plate but when they not its like they count the fries they give you.“
