    Two sliders, one hot, one mild
    Jon T.

    I spotted the waving flags for Epic on Manchester a few days ago and decided I needed to try some hot chicken. I took Ms T for lunch and we had a good experience. The restaurant is clean and bright. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We decided to split a basket of two Hot Chicken Sliders with a side of fries. I was a little concerned the term "slider" would mean "small", but these sandwiches were more than enough for us. We definitely did not go away hungry. The benefit of it being a "slider" is that the bun is not a giant, oversized pile of bread. I cannot imagine eating two of these at a sitting. She ordered mild and [surprise-surprise] it was a little too hot for her. I ordered Hot and it was plenty hot but very good. I must admit I will not be trying Epic Blazed. It would be beyond fun, but I will re-order the Hot. We both wished for a bit more salt in the seasoning, but at the same time enjoyed it a lot. I liked the slaw on the sandwich and can see getting Tenders with a side of slaw when I don't want a slider bun. I also like the fact that they offer Smashburgers. Their fries are crinkle cut "50-caliber" size and as such, may be a little hard to fry. We liked the seasoning on them, but they were slightly underdone. Not bad, I ate every one of them, but they were just a little underdone. Epic Hot have checked all the trend boxes with Hot Chicken, Smashburgers and Kale Slaw! And of course they offer wings. This place is very close to home and I am pleased that Ms T would return. I am glad to have them in the neighborhood.

    #2 - chicken sliders with fries

    Dropped in on a Wednesday afternoon. Ordered the chicken sliders with fries. The fries were pretty good, not overly seasoned or salted but not bland. The sliders were good but not great. The chicken itself was solid, and the heat (medium) was significant but not overpowering. My biggest disappointment was finding the wet sauces are not available for sliders. There are a couple that sounded really interesting, but even on request was not offered for sliders. Overall a decent choice, but not a "can't miss" option.

    It's Epic so you need to check it out! 1st the meat is 100% Zabiha. There is no guessing if it is hand slaughtered..it is!! The owners use to own Salaam Market a few businesses up from this restaurant year ago. it's great to see them back bring great halal food! 5/5 juicy hot and fresh chicken

    Chicken sliders with a chicken tender. The number 1 menu item.

    Absolutely delicious! A slider is the size of a whole sandwich. Super friendly and great flavor! Cannot recommend enough!

    WOW! I moved to IL side from CO about two years ago and have been in search since of genuinely GOOD…read morefood. I only wish I had found it sooner. Hats off to you POPP. I will be back with my family. :Order: Large wrap with corn and chicken x 2 (orders. Had to share with my spouse)!!!

    A couple weeks ago my husband and I were running errands and wanted something healthy to eat. Since…read morewe were nearby he suggested The Port of Peri Peri. We had not been there since having new ownership and hoped it had not changed in taste and quality. There was absolutely no need to be concerned...it was possibly even more delicious. Located in a strip mall next to a Fresh Thyme Market, Peri Peri has a pretty nondescript dining area. It is clean and comfortable, and perfectly fine for a counter service establishment. The owner took our order and went out of his way to help me select a "milder than mild" sauce. I am no longer able to tolerate very spicy foods which is a shame because the peri sauce is extremely flavorful. My husband always opts for the spiciest or nearly spiciest option and had his usual 1/4 dark chicken but chose flame-grilled corn on the cob, which was good but not the same as his usual rice. I decided to opt for the Falafel Rice with the lemon pepper sauce. I was not disappointed. The owner also provided us with a generous serving of hummus and pita on the house - a nice complement to the meal. I love that the food is prepared fresh and not sitting there waiting for me. It may take a bit of time but it is worth it. The new owner and staff are very friendly and happy to answer questions. The food is very good. If you haven't already, I highly recommend dropping in and giving them a try. I think your taste buds will thank you!
