I saw this on Groupon last night and saw that it was pretty close to me. Thought I'd try it since I had a hankering for some wings. I will say they were solid wings and a great option for takeout. We got four 6 wing meals. The cook (and the owner?) gave us a few more wings which was nice. They have 40 sauces which was a little bit of a shell shock. I think I got too many of the same kind of wings. Hell, Buffalo, and Louisiana Ranch were all kind of the same. It's on me, but I wish I could have gotten a little more direction. Either way, the wings were great! I especially liked Hell since they were super spicy and had a really good taste. The only wings were cooked great! The fries were surprisingly good! We also got an order of fried shrimp which was excellent. They only "downsides" were there my dads BBQ wings were all wings and no drumsticks. It was we kind of a weird. Also, their website doesn't give all the great wing options so you kind of need to use Grubhub (which takes a portion). I'd recommend going there to order, but it takes some time to cook the food. Still, everything is cooked to order so you are getting fresh wings and some place to check out! read more

FireWings - Sauce menu - Chicken Wings Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My love was very excited to get a Groupon for FireWings, so we checked this place out recently. FireWings is a smallish place on Pulaski just south of Lawrence and adjacent to an alley. They seem to have inconsistent opening hours. We live near it and have walked past it at random times - sometimes looks open, sometimes looks closed. For a while they had a sign in the window touting a breakfast menu on the weekends, but not sure if they are still pushing that early agenda. The menu features wings of course, but they also sell burgers, burritos, and fried shrimp. They have a list of 40 sauce selections for their wings. Orders of wings and burgers also come with a side of fries. When we walked in to place our takeout order, we were told that it would take only 10 minutes. I was surprised, as I was anticipating a much longer wait based on some of the Yelp reviews. After my love and I witnessed a peaceful protest on Pulaski for about 15 minutes, we went back to FireWings and our order was ready to go. My order of 6 wing pieces with honey BBQ sauce was good if not great. The fries that came along with the wings rate a bit better, as they were crisp and flavorfully seasoned. The celery stalks were very basic, and the not-quite-ranch dipping sauce tasted pretty decent. My love went with the cheeseburger, and the bite of the burger I tried was tasty. I'd say FireWings is worth a try, but be sure that they are open for business! read more

Lots of choices for your flavor. The guy was really helpful with my order had some great recommendations. I needed it for their list The place is easy to miss. Right before the intersection. Their non wing items are on the chalk board at the top with the wings on a paper. Classic wing spot. The garlic chicken tasted pretty addicting. Chamoy mango really strong Chamoy favor. Punches you in the mouth with tanginess. The fries here are insane. Super crispy fries. Honestly might be my reason to give it that 5th star. Even though it was cover in a bag on the way home. It kept it crispiness. Man I would get another of fries if I knew it was this good. read more

Tried fire wings recently for the first time! We ordered 10 pcs with buffalo sauce, side of fries and slaw. The wings were fine. Not much sauce. The fries were delicious but very skimpy on portion. The slaw had no seasoning. Even just a pinch of salt would have helped. The celery on side were skinny and short. They were what you get at top of celery stalk. Overall it was ok. Prices good. There are better wings out there! read more

Excellent food and service one man show good father! Have been happy every tine and glad this affordable local business is doing well! read more

FireWings - Jamaica jerk!! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Recently this company came to our office for a pop-up restaurant via Fooda. Honestly - none of it was very good. They had advertised they had wings, fingers, and pita sandwiches. By the time I got there at noon - they were out of fingers. Ok - so, they had advertised a bunch of sauces for the wings. The reality was they only had buffalo sauce or naked wings. So, fine - they didn't have the sauce I wanted, so I went with the 6 piece buffalo with ranch dipping sauce and a side of potato wedges. The first wing I had was kinda slimy. The sauce didn't taste terrible - but I've certainly had better buffalo wings. The second wing I had was actually raw in the middle - so, I spit that out. The third wing I cut into so I didn't make the mistake of biting into a raw wing again... it was cooked fine but, again, still kinda slimy. I think the reason for them being slimy is instead of cooking the wings and keeping them warm and then saucing them before serving them - they kept the wings simmering in the sauce the entire time. Like many people, I like my wings to be kinda crunchy on the outside (like fried chicken) and then have them tossed in the sauce for a kick of flavor. If these were tossed in a sauce before serving, there should still be some crunch. The wedges weren't any better. A good potato wedge is crispy on the outside and soft/fluffy inside. These were just soggy and slightly cold. I ate a couple but they were also bad so I just threw the rest of them away too. Not sure what the issue was here. Maybe they just don't travel well? I don't know - but they weren't good. I'm sure going to the restaurant where these are cooked to order will probably give you a different experience. However, this is an opportunity for you to have a captive audience where literally hundreds of people can't leave the office and need something fast so they will try your food - many for the first time. You have to learn how to serve your food outside of your kitchen if you are going to do this in a catering style atmosphere. Fooda has been the way I have explored many new restaurants over the years and I'm sure I'm not the only one. This was definitely not the way you want to present yourself. No tenders. Bad wings. Bad wedges. It just wasn't a good experience. Best of luck to this company. I see amazing reviews on here and other platforms - but my experience did not mirror others. read more

Great flavors and big portions! They have so many different sauce options and dry rubs. Everything is always fresh and the fries are a bonus! Great to have a wing spot in the neighborhood that isn't a chain. read more

I ordered 3 orders of wings. Upon delivery I had only received 2 orders of wings. I called the restaurant and was told they would call me back in 12 minutes. Over 24 hours later I called back. I was told very rudely to call back in 48 hours. What kind of business operates this?!?! read more

Not sure if they are even open anymore. If they are, not worth your time. No phone numbers work. Basically every complaint on Grubhub is about how late their orders are. Waited 2 hours before canceling our order that never came. Grubhub support can't reach anyone. Place used to be great, but it is terrible now, and we'll never try again. It's a shame. read more

Best wings I've had in a looong time. Excellent selection too. I love the Orange Spicy, Thai Chili Spicy, the Habanero Mango and the Lemon Pepper Rub. I do agree they could add a few more fries and celery. But damn, its a lot of food, I probably don't need it.( But when I do....I just order extra ). For my Celiac and NCGS ( Non celiac gluten sensitive ) friends. I order here with confidence. I haven't gotten sick yet! Also, I have only ever ordered via delivery, (direct and grubhub) to my home and favorite café/ bar. They're aways earlier than the eta and very nice too. You'll never see me post pics of the food though...why waste time? read more

Such great sauce flavors and perfectly cooked chicken! The fries are also really damn good too. Definitely making this local place my new hot wings spot! read more

GREAT WINGS! Fresh, not frozen and you can tell. Plus, flavour choices go on for days. The lemon pepper was my favorite, it's rare to see that much flavor in lemon pepper wings. Yum! Will order again. read more

Have tried to get delivery twice, both times I never got food. want to support a local spot but it just doesn't seem like they can get it together. read more

The wings are excellent.... when they are open for business. I am not a business owner and I will not pretend I know how to run one but this is insane. The place is never open when they say it is. When it is open the food takes a long time. They would randomly only take cash even though they have historically taken card without any warning. As far as the wings go, they are excellent. The cook once said that they bake before frying them. I believed him. Not too sure now. The sauces are mostly consistently good as is the entire wing. I think if they were to successfully run the business properly they would thrive solely based on the quality of the wings. Unfortunately the business is run incredibly poorly. I don't understand how that works at all! And one can only try so many times to give a business hard earned money before giving up. I truly hope they figure it out because the wings are excellent. Until then 1 star. read more

Ordered delivery through their website and was pleased. Buffalo wings were on point: fall-off-the-bone but still crunchy. Fries were hot and crispy. We opted for the seasoned fries and got plain instead, but still happy with the result. read more

The wings taste better not having been frozen previously- I prefer the dry ones rather than the wet sloppy ones but that is my own preference read more

We ordered from this place for our weekly family dinner about a month ago. It was a good experience from the beginning. I found on line menu to be strangely short and called the place. They immediately texted me the photo of their menu blackboard and I proceeded with the order. Food was very inexpensive but was prepared and delivered quickly. My daughter had chicken quesadillas which she finished with gusto. The rest of us ordered wings -- my wife and son got regular wings with no particular ribs or sauces. Sounds boring, right? Not according to them! Wings were gone by the end of the evening with my 5 year old son eating 7(!!) wings. I ordered Buffalo wings and let me tell you: there's a reason these guys go by Fire Wings. This is not your chain wing restaurant folks! There if it says spicy it usually just tingles a little bit. Here I was finally having an experience I was craving: FIRE! Overall this place is barebones (pun intended) but that's how my perfect wing place should be. We are definitely ordering from these guys again! read more

Food was cold. When I arrived to pick up, the food was just sitting out on the counter. Not under a heat lamp like a normal restaurant. (Like what take out place doesn't have a heat lamp?) When I asked if the food was still warm the guy gave me attitude. You would think that in the middle of a pandemic you would be a little nicer to your paying customers. The wings we ordered were not that good either, will not be back. read more

If you look me up you will see I ordered almost a year ago... the time I ordered I waited THREE HOURS for my food to be delivered and by then I was gone. They called me and tried forcing me to pay NOW, I have them another chance and ordered food for my staff. We didn't get our food for ALMOST FOUR HOURS. WTF is wrong with you guys. I even called 3 times (every hour) to find out when my food would arrive and buddy told me 20min each time. Mind you each time I called was an hour apart. If you can't make my order then tell me no. You can't lie and expect me to pay full price I will never order food from here again the worst service of my life... read more

Lowkey for trying this for the first time it wasn't bad. The Parmesan garlic hot wings were pretty good. Falls off the bone good. I put 4 stars because it's not my favorite, yet, but just enough for me to like it. read more

I do not like wings. Period. But, my wife loves them. So, we stopped at this little place on Pulaski. Didn't look luke much on outside, it didn't get any better stepping inside. I ordered the Texas dry. My wife got the mango habanero. The special gives you fries and a drink for $10. The fries were fantastic. The wings were out of this world. Julio does an amazing job. Everything fresh. Nothing frozen. Definitely worth dropping in and enjoying good food. read more

(Delivery review) Great food, but the delivery driver was unbelievably rude - he refused to follow the delivery instructions, lied about it, and the last thing he said to me was "Don't ever order from here again." I called the restaurant to let them know, hey, you've got someone out there sending customers away - I thought it would be helpful! However, the two staff members I spoke with at the restaurant were equally rude and dishonest. I never did manage to speak with a manager, but I guess being a total jerk is how they roll at this establishment. Advice taken; I won't ever order from there again! Update: The manager eventually returned my calls; yup, the problem definitely starts at the top. read more

I love that they are using quality wings. They are large, meaty and were cooked to perfection. My favorite sauce is the carolina bbq, delish! read more

Very good wings, plenty of flavor combinations. Even if you don't like chicken wings, they have sandwiches, tacos or quesadillas.

I wanted to try firewings to support a local business. I ordered 20 wings, 10 Parmesan garlic and 10 buffalo habenaro. When I came home, my mother in law said something smelled burnt. I opened the bag and noticed the chicken was BURNT. Chicken was black. I tried one of them and it tasted burned. I called the owner and he said they bake them and then fry them to make sure they aren't raw. He told me he would give me a refund but he still hasn't returned my money via credit card. Look at my photos and compare them to the other photos in yelp and you tell me if my chicken is cooked correctly. read more

Delicious! My boyfriend and I love wings and this def hit on our top fav wing spots. The wings are crispy and not too fatty. There are so many sauce options. Favs being buffalo habanero and lemon pepper but the others we tried are deelish too. Oh and the fries are yummy. The owner is really nice and attentive. Came back twice in one month already. Soooo good and good prices! read more

Tried to order a couple Saturdays ago (6/15), and nobody would answer the phone. It was like 2pm in the afternoon, so I'm not sure what the issue was. Maybe they had an emergency that made them close. I plan to check them out again at some point, so hopefully it ends up better, and I'll update this review. read more

We've had fire wings several times and each time it hasn't disappointed. They have a great variety of sauces and their wings are meaty and tasty. The fries that come with the wings are also seasoned and good. Other than the wings, I've tried the chicken quesadillas which we also enjoyed but have to try the other menu items. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!! read more

The best wings in the area, a good variety of flavors and good price. Way better than bww and wing stop!

I come here very often actually and every time I come in it takes 30min for an order. I understand a wait time for wings but not 30min when no one is inside but me and my girlfriend. The thing is it's sooooooooo unorganized.... I can't wait every time 30min for 10wings. That's way too long. Funny thing... that isn't even the reason why I put 1 star. Today I had ordered wings for coworkers (who by the way waited 1 hour for a delivery that was never even sent). So I decided on going to pick it up because I didn't want to disappoint my friends. Once I got there, they told me they haven't even started on my order so I canceled the order in general. Mind you everyone waited for an hour and a half before we found out it wasn't even prepared.... SOOO everyone ended up ending the night on that note and went home.... once I got home I got a call for my wings (at 8pm but I had ordered at 5:45pm) whyyy in the world would I wait waited 2 hours and 15min for a decent sized order (4 people all together soooo about 40 wings) when I could have gotten any other place in less than 1 hour itself delivery..... Plus they sent the order out even after I canceled it because they dragged asss read more

Excellent experience! The owner is nice and seemed sincere. Prices were good for the quality/freshness and quantity of food, and sauces were flavorful and balanced. We ordered buffalo habanero wings (best of both worlds) and were definitely satisfied! Look forward to ordering again. read more

Long wait, but it's worth it, I like to be able to go and have one flavor and still have so many more to choose from! Great seafood too!
