Smash Burger combo
Imran F.

Food, spot on! Service, spot on! Ambiance, spot on! The fries are probably the best fries I've had in a long time! The beef was fresh and made just right with that sauce! I would highly recommend you stop and try it yourself!

I've been seeing videos of Meetches Wings and Things all over Instagram for a while now. Funnily enough, my cousin had even sent me this place before, so it had been on my radar for some time. One Saturday, I happened to be hanging out with that same cousin when we started getting hungry. I was open to just about anything, but naturally, my mind went to wings. This is a cousin I've traveled around the country with trying different wing spots, so it only made sense that we'd consider another one. We went back and forth between a few options before finally landing on Meetches. I guess you could say it was about time. The restaurant was only about 30 minutes away, so the drive wasn't bad at all. We were both curious about the place, especially knowing they fry their food in beef tallow. Walking in, the food smelled great, which only made us more excited to eat. After looking over the menu, my cousin went with a smash burger and 10 boneless lemon pepper wings. He was actually more excited about trying the burger, while I already knew what I wanted. I ordered 18 wings split between lemon pepper, honey BBQ, and Buffalo. Once the wings arrived, the first thing I noticed was how crispy they looked. After taking that first bite, they definitely delivered. The exterior had a satisfying crunch, while the chicken inside was juicy and tender. One thing I found interesting was the taste from the beef tallow. It's a little difficult to describe, but there's a noticeable difference compared to the fried flavor I'm normally used to. It doesn't completely change the wings, but it adds something different that I enjoyed. I started with the lemon pepper, and these had a great crunch with every bite. You could actually hear the crispiness as you bit into them. They were generously coated in seasoning, giving them plenty of flavor without needing any sauce. The honey BBQ were just as enjoyable, with a savory BBQ flavor and a hint of honey that came through afterward. The sweetness was noticeable without overpowering the sauce. Finally, the Buffalo had that familiar tangy, slightly buttery flavor I always enjoy. Even with the sauces coating them, both the honey BBQ and Buffalo maintained their crispiness, which I appreciated. Honestly, I couldn't pick a favorite. All three were good in their own way. My cousin really enjoyed his smash burger as well, so we both left satisfied with our choices. Overall, these were definitely better than your average wings. Nothing overly complicated, just well-cooked chicken with good flavor and a slightly different taste thanks to the beef tallow. I'm glad we finally made our way out to Meetches, and I'd happily return. With the variety they have on the menu, I can easily see myself bringing some of my other cousins here. Another wing spot crossed off the list and one worth keeping in mind whenever I'm craving some good wings.

10 Boneless Korean bbq

If you want delicious fast food, this is your place. Overall the wing sauce choices win hands down! The Korean bbq sauce was spiced and flavored perfectly with enough sauce to dip the crispiest French fries in and the smash burger was wonderful. Lacey and crispy. I had the Meetches peaches for dessert which was like peach cobbler. It was a bit non descript when it to it being peach or apple. However, it wouldn't keep me from coming back. Great food and incredibly friendly owner.

Fries and 10 Wings (5 chimichurri and 5 garlic Parmesan)
Alyssa G.

My boyfriend and I popped in for a quick midweek date. He was extremely hungry after work and I moderately hungry after work. The staff was friendly--the owner was even out and about talking to customers! The food, which is cooked in beef tallow, was delicious. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The onion tanglers melted in my mouth. The smash burger was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The wings left a little to be desired in size and price, but the sauces they came in were delicious. Extremely hungry boyfriend ordered a 2nd burger (We split the 1st one!) and that one's patty was not as crispy and it was loaded with too many onions. The flavor was still out of this world without being too salty. Bonus points for unlimited fountain drinks! I would definitely go back, but for the "& Things," aka the burgers!

Food described in post

Wings were very good, better than Birds Nest but Franks for the Memories in Mundelein is still the best. Teriyaki sauce was good however there was lots of sesame seed as an added sprinkle. Hot sauce was prefect heat - flavorful but not can't feel my tongue hot. Seasoned fries were delicious. Not sure if they have unseasoned fries. Gyros has potential - tzatziki sauce was good had some paprika sprinkled on top, pita a little over toasted, and gyros meat had good flavor but I got the dried - over cooked crusty outside. They had a donkey Kong jr arcade machine that worked and it was free. Pretty cool addition. Staff were friendly and order was completed fairly quickly considering wings were made to order. I'll be back to try other items

Chicken skewers

I decided to pop in after seeing a TikTok review online saying how good their food was. It's only a few minutes from my house so I decided to give it a try. It's cooked to order. I got chicken skewers with a side of fries that came with Pita & two grilled lemon wedges. The food was cooked well. The chicken was glazed in a honey mustard sauce that had a decent amount of kick to it. Definitely not spicy but flavorful. The portions were large for the price of the food. I spent Just shy of $20. All the food had a ton of flavor. I got my food very quickly. They take the extra step of bagging your food to keep it warm on your drive home.. so bonus points for that. I would definitely come here again. I heard their Smashburger's are excellent as well. Definitely will be back.

I paid around $17 for a smash burger fries and a drink. Totally worth it, they are very polite and the place was very inviting.

Don't sleep on the Philly. Everything here is delicious, you will have to make multiple trips to try everything, or maybe not? You decide.

I can't say enough great things about this restaurant. The service was super - helpful and very attentive. Can't wait to go back.

Drinks are nice and they provide very good water quality The hibiscus pineapple spritz was tasty with a light flavor. Dominated by mint and pine apple the hibiscus was a dim note. The Bloody Mary was delicately made with lovely easily readable notes of lemon and lime. The pepperoni olives add a delightfully erotic combination. I have no way to describe this Bloody Mary other than erotic. There's an anchovy chunk hidden in the olive muted by a creamy sauce. It gives a lovely salty kick to an otherwise calm Bloody Mary. Honestly I like a calm Bloody Mary that has a lot of defined flavors rather than a shelf made clusterbomb of chemicals. This tastes like home made pours. The calamari appetizer is soft and almost reminds me of the yesteryears of long John silvers fish sticks. But more refined with octopus for the core flavor. What a delightful recipe. Mushroom blue crab. Very soft and enjoyable. A lovely lightly salty earthy treat with a rich crab slice covered in batter. Lightly spicy in the aftertaste. A great minimalistic mid meal palate cleanser. Their lemon braised chicken I was only able to get a tiny taste by the time the press plate made way to me. The skin is actually IMPRESSIVE. I can only imagine the meat inside but the other press member who ordered that dish had a lovely time with it and said it was fresh and made him happy to eat. The Margherita pizza was flavorful despite missing a lot of visible basil. I would appreciate more leaves next time but this isn't a demerit as much as it's a presentational desire to have. This whole restaurant carries a delighting spirit. It's very easy with the music here the good food and good people to slide upward on the mood scale. This isn't a bistro. This isn't your stuffy formal place. This is a place to flash your fashion in a daytime club atmosphere. This is a place for a business luncheon where high level service needs exist. Addendum V1: This restaurant was a sensory nightmare, as a person with autism I can only call this restaurant "socializing on extra hard mode" the acoustics are not very good with the curved walls and there is poor to no noise isolation, if you're sat next to the windows and the tree cutting team starts cutting ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR DINE (Or ask for a new table, the waitstaff are glorious people here who will accommodate most any request. They are great personalities and everyone is very sociable. There was a three way birthday at our table and they brought out wine and fireworks for us to all take pictures with. I found the birthday presentation simple classic memorable and highly photographable for pro photographers looking to experience lighting in an exotic location. LIGHTING and ENVIRONMENT is where I had to take a half star off, due to the existing California Pizza Kitchen design having been overlaid on top of much like a Bathtub remodel all of the existing CPC issues were brought to the new location, some were reduced others weren't eliminated at all. Sound propagation in the restaurant is a total mess, the windows at mid day allow too much noise and could use a thin soft black curtain that mutes the dull city landscape. The atmosphere here at dinner changes so I'll have to revisit this restaurant at evening time and see how the sensory noise problem is, but visiting this restaurant at lunch is something I'd save for a quick drink at the bar rather than a drawn out meal. Having a drawn out meal here definitely sounds better at evening. When I get complaints about being socially unresponsive and am almost unaware that there were long periods, clearly I was retreating onto working on the phone trying to extrapolate a review from a limited amount of food instead a full menu flight in one bite serves. The complaint was that this review isn't detailed enough, this should resolve some of that and as for lack of details, well stop complaining on this one because the conditions I was creating my review in. Also I left out one of my FAVORITE rooms to review in a restaurant, the waterclosets... Here they were impressively clean and well decorated. The atmosphere here is minimalist modern eclectic, the only thing I hate is that damn ceiling and those walls. Fix the acoustics in here and I can probably go back to a five star. Oh and seriously, more basil on that margarita pizza.
