50 Best Chicken Wings near Wilmette

“First time at Valley Lodge Tavern and it was an outstanding experience. Cozy atmosphere, great service, top notch management, impressive menu and food. Thank you!“

“Arrived at 8PM on a busy Friday night. We were seated immediately and service was quick to our table. Our appetizer was served quickly, but it took a little while for our entrees to arrive. The food was delicious - fried cheese curds, sliders, and a burger with fries. Restaurant was noisy, but not so loud that we couldn't have a conversation. One patron was loudly complaining that he was seated between two large parties and was unable to enjoy his meal due to the noise. We were happy with our visit, however.“

“Good Buffalo chicken strips and onion rings!“

“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.“

“$20 bottomless wings on Monday and $10 pizzas for happy hour (5-7 PM). Great deal! Amazing service! Did not get the waiter's name but we loved his positive energy!

Small caveat is that the wing sauces were sauced inconsistently. Some batches were super saucy, others a bit drier. Standout flavors were honey miso and truffle parm.“

“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“

“Lovely place. Good staff. Yummy food“

“Solid crispy thin crust! Buy by the slice to satisfy a quick craving, or order a whole (small/medium/large) pizza. Pasta sauce and dessert pies are also delicious! The place is no frills, so don't expect fancy silverware. Terrific add to the neighborhood!“

“Stopped here for a quick bite during my road trip and was impressed with the quality of their pizza. One of my favorite slices I tried was the Shawarma pizza. It’s very unique, different and packed with flavor . Def recommend giving them a try.“

“Afeera was very helpful and patient, it’s my first time at Charleys and first time in Illinois and I was happily surprised to see a cheesesteak place inside of a Walmart instead of McDonalds, Charley’s was on my radar coming here and being able to get an old school was definitely a good afternoon meal, thank you 🤙🏼“

“We just had our first order from this new establishment. Everything was just how we like our wings. Also a shout out to the boxing of the wings and tater tops. Cardboard with venting to prevent steaming. They were still hot enuf to drive home and eat. We have a new wing staff. The staff was very helpful too. With smiles“

“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!“

“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!“

“Budacki's is a classic neighborhood stop for fast eats. It boasts a broad menu of comfort food, from Polish dogs Chicago-style to gyros and Korean fare. It's not a large or contemporary space, but around rush hour, you'll find it full of regulars from blue and white collar workers to young families and school kids. If you're visiting, there are other spots that do something similar. But if you're new to the neighborhood, be sure to make the trip, and you'll easily find yourself a regular too.“

“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!!“

“Absolutely incredible. Very very nice staff and guy took our order. Explained everything so clearly and was extra patient while me and my friend decided what we wanted to order. We also came in at a weird time for lunch (2:30pm). Guy was so great. Split everything in our order for us because we wanted to share. Food was absolutely amazing to match the service. 5 stars. Well done.“

“🔥 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!“

“These were the best chicken tenders I’ve ever had.

EDIT: I have returned to the unforgettable chicken tenders and tried them with a Nashville flavor rub this time. It’s even better. I feel so lucky to live close by 🤗“

“The philly steaks are to die for, ask for extra chess and watch your life change. They also have some really good beer, I don't drink beer often but I did the last time I was here and I have to admit I think I'm a regular now 😂“

“This is my first time at this restaurant, and I was told it's good. So far, the Chicken Tender Lunch Special I ordered is great.“

“Such wonderful customer service I haven't had Buffalo Joe's in about a year anytime I'm in town I always make sure I stop at this location want to give a huge shout out to Christian Paul Starr Serenity David and Jada their energy was so awesome food was very fresh and tasted wonderful will be back soon thanks for making my day please make sure to stop in this location if you're looking for good food and good energy ♥️♥️♥️“

“This Chicken Hut is simply the best.
The chicken is high quality and cooked fresh over an open fire.
Every order comes with warm pita. The sides are also great. They make the best homemade mashed potatoes and gravy, coleslaw and delightful Spanish style rice. Their homemade salsa is delicious. All deserts are very good as well. Prices are great and the service or delivery are swift.
Eduardo, his family and team, are a favorite for good reason.“

“Birthday pizza party!! Perfect pizza / on time delivery 🍕 📦“

“A true unknown gem of Chicago, this place makes hand down the best fried chicken—you would never guess. The staff is always friendly and the service is always fast, even though they fresh fry each order. Do yourself a favor and try it once and you’ll never visit the McDonald’s right across the street again.“

“While the neighborhood bars are getting worse, this place keeps getting better and better. Fricken love this place and had an amazing time!“

“My son went to a concert at the Vic Theatre and couldn’t find his car right away. They were so kind and gave them something to drink and a slice of delicious pizza. What a great place.“

“Love the food and there open late!!“

“Viet fusion has brought me back to Vietnam. Fresh ingredients you can TASTE! The owner is so wonderful and very friendly! Ordered the FAMOUS bahn mi(viet fusion bahn mi), I kept hearing about and let me say.. this is one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. Fresh, crispy and delicious. Presentation was amazing as well. Bread was soft and I wanted to order another LOL. Pho here is traditional and I can say the servings are large! Don’t be shy to ask what’s in the soup! Drink menu is also available just have to ask! I will be back! So happy I finally went in to try.“

“First visit there tonight and it was a lot of fun. Everybody there was really chill, was having a good time, and the bartenders were absolutely amazing. Can't believe I didn't come here sooner but I'll definitely be here more often!“

“If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would! The fried chicken here is absolutely phenomenal—crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, with seasoning that hits all the right notes. You can tell it’s made fresh, and the flavor is perfectly balanced without being too greasy.

The sides are just as impressive—[mention a side like “the mac and cheese is creamy and comforting” or “the coleslaw is fresh and tangy”], making every bite feel like home. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality.

The staff here are friendly, attentive, and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting—perfect for a casual meal with friends, family, or even by yourself when you’re craving something delicious.

I’ve had fried chicken from plenty of places, but this spot easily ranks at the top. Highly recommend to anyone who loves comfort food done right!“

“When our daughter chose your place for her birthday dinner we were skeptical. From the time we walked in until hours later we enjoyed every minute. The service and food were great. Thank you!“

“Ordered the avocado Philly cheese steak and the 10 piece lemon pepper wings. The food was great. That Philly was amazing. Even the wings were good. Perfect season blend with perfect crisp cook. Was suprised based on past reviews but the food was good and the people were polite and accommodating. Food came fairly quickly as well.“

“Catered from Villa Rosa for another Family Party. The food is simply outstanding!!!
The sausage and peppers literally melt in your mouth. Great Service, easy ordering process, great food. Another great Northwest Side establishment.“
