Franks For the Memories

This place has been on my radar for years. Today a buddy and I were in the area at lunchtime, and decided to stop in for some wings. I'm so glad we did!The inside is loaded with sports memorabilia - mostly Buffalo Bills stuff, but some Bears stuff as well. The owner is from Buffalo, and this place is known for Buffalo wings so I get it. We both ordered a pound of wings with their traditional hot sauce. The sign says: "Your girl friend can handle it", but I'm pretty sure my girl could not. They were delicious but definitely had some heat. These are some of the best wings in Chicagoland! But don't take my word for it: Franks is in the National Buffalo Wings Hall of Fame! Service was friendly and quick. We met the owner and he seems like a good guy. Can't wait for my next visit!

Awesome boneless wings. Nice workers/cooks. Pretty fair prices as well. Worth the time.

I was recommend to visit here from many people. Finally stopped in, and now I see why people hype it up. It was delicious! We called in our order and it was ready when we arrived in about 10 mins. Small little spot with a few booths inside. Kind and quick service. Food was very fresh and smelt amazing. Tasted even better! Crispy and juicy, full of flavor. We went with the garlic, bbq and medium and they were all great. As a self proclaimed ranch connoisseur, the ranch was so creamy and paired perfectly with the wings. Highly recommend this spot. Definitely the best for around for fresh, quality, flavorful wings.

Best wings anywhere. I love the medium and the teriyaki. Excellent fries and cheese curds. The service is fast and accurate.

Decent wings. A little too saucy for my taste. Outdoor seating is pleasantly old school.

Was excited to try these. Extremely disappointed & confused. Confused because the wings were extremely over cooked, we're tiny & very bad. Very dry wings with shrunken skin.

I hadn't been here in... I'd say at least 15 years. When I was younger I used to eat here quite often and I'm glad to say that the wings hold up. I had the medium spicy wings and they were just like I remembered. Crispy and saucey. They should really give you wet-naps, your going to need a face wash when your finished. The place has barely changed physically, it's a real throwback to a simpler time. I also had some mac&cheese wedges which were great, they were a nice break from the heat of my Buffalo wings. They have outside tables so it's a great spot to eat outside when spring rolls around as well. I still recommend this joint, I'll try to make it back sooner this time.

Top notch wings. I've been to the Anchor bar and this is about as close as you'll get!

Solid buffalo wings. A few locals told me this was their favorite place. So I have to eat at a local gem. Overall good, not sure if I would go out of my way to eat here, but their wing are good and flavorful. Fries and large and filling. A good spot if you are in the area.

Very small place with often a little bit of a wait. There is a reason there is a wait and there is a reason they have been in business for so long. The wings are super tasty and excellent! Definitely a must try place! Just as a tip, order the day before for big events like the Super Bowl and pick up the day before or be prepared to wait in a long line. Like most things lately, they are a bit pricey.
