Gorilla Nutz

1st let me give the establishment its flowers I love what yall are doing and the food was great.... Now whoever the lady was that took my order was rude asf had my order and wouldn't give it to me took her sweet time the nice lady Mayne the owner had to come get me my food .. but again food was great

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!

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.

December 2024Wait time : 20-30 minutes. Price: a little on the expensive side. Cash price was $63 and some change There was a charge to use a credit card =$66 and some change. I believe they run a "happy hour" daily 2-5 (I saw this through an online food delivery app)She asked cash or card, my friend said card, and she changed the price. She said she didn't recall seeing signage for a credit card fee. Food ordered : Lambchops, Gouda Mac and cheese, and grabbage (cabbage / greens) Strawberry wings + Porkchop (1) Skillet street corn and grabbage Waffles (I requested the cinnamon roll but both received were regular, from what I could see) ^^^^ waffles come with these meals. We did not order them a la Carte My friend said the lambchops were salty. She said she would try it again if they didn't have the mustard as the base. Both the lambchops and the porkchop were heavily slathered with mustard prior to breading and frying. If you're not a fan of mustard, don't bother. Porkchop 3/5, a little on the dry side. Lambchops 2.5/5 per my friend. The grabbage was ok- re-orderable, but the cabbage could stand to be cut up some more. 3.5/5 rating from me. 2.5/5 for my friend. Gouda Mac and cheese. 0 / 5 for me- I spit it out. 0.5/5 for my friend. It tasted spoiled to me. THAT SKILLET CORN THO? The star of the show 10/5!!!!!!! It will be a must order each and every time. They cooked that with the love they should've shown the Mac and cheese. Strawberry wings-- re-orderable. Good flavor, but not spicy (I believe spicy is in the name -Spicy Strawberry 4/5. Waffles- light and fluffy , good flavor. However, it was not a match for me for the entree. It was random. One gripe about the waffles, is that they're served in the styrofoam container, and the waffle was so hot that it melted the container and we just didn't eat the waffles at the bottom, because of that -- just out of precaution. Foil liner on the bottom or a different container would fix that. Overall, I'm willing to try it again but won't try anything they base in mustard, and will try during the happy hour for a cheaper price.

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.

The customer service was amazing, the restaurant was very nice and clean. However, I think there should be some changes to the food. The Ceabbage (Greens/Cabbage) taste like they come out the can (Glory Greens). They're overcooked and soggy. The Boudin Balls and the Wings were overcooked or maybe even cooked in older cooking oil. The waffles taste like cake the best part for me.

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!

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!

I definitely will not be going back. A friend and I dined in and food was served in a styrofoam containers in black plastic bags. So you have to unwrap and eat your meal out of these to go containers. Way too much ice is put in drinks, I really had high hopes for this place.

Food was pretty good. Lamb chops could've been more tender. Mac and cheese, cabbage and greens and pancakes were really good though
