How has it taken me this long to get here?! Seriously, it's…read morebeen on my radar basically since it opened, and I keep hearing about it, but just finally made a plan to try it out. My cousin and I sat at the bar, and you can get full service at the bar. She ordered a hot dog and I had a pizza. The hot dog came with that weird neon relish, in typical Chicago fashion, and was on a poppyseed bun. The fries are crinkle cut, and I don't know what seasoning they use, but it was so good! A little sweetness mixed in with the spices. The pizza was good; thin crust and cut square style like they do in Chicago, which I forgot about and kind of hate. I should've asked for silverware, but didn't. Next time I'd ask for it pie cut instead. The flavor was really good though. It was a bit pricey for what it was - it was a 12" pizza, and each topping an additional $3. $21 just seems high to me for a thin crust pepperoni mushroom pizza. I had draft beer and my cousin had a mixed drink. She had no complaints about hers, and mine was quite good! So many places draft beer tastes a little soapy, whether it's the way the clean their lines or how they wash their glasses, but I didn't taste any of that here. There aren't many choices on draft but was a good variety. They also have a full bar and lots of canned beverage choices. They don't have the healthiest menu, but that's not surprising since they're known for Chicago hot dogs, Italian beef, and pizza. If you know what you're going for it's perfect! The vibe is good. The space is pretty open, gets a decent amount of light, is clean, and there is parking! The restrooms are tiny, but clean, and I appreciate that after you wash your hands the door opens out so you don't have to touch a handle. We went on a Monday after work, which does turn into karaoke night, but we had time for a couple drinks and food before that really got going. It also wasn't crazy in there and we could still carry on a conversation at the bar without having to yell. I'm glad I finally made it in, and fully appreciate having them in the North Monroe area. I will definitely plan to have more happy hours here!

The staff was so friendly and our food was ready in 5 minutes. The restaurant was busy but they kept getting food out pretty quickly. We were able to grab a booth in the front window to eat at the restaurant. I tried the classic Mad Dog and then tried two specialty dogs, the Don Ho and the Mac Daddy. The classic Mad dog was probably my favorite but the specialties were unique and delicious as well. The dogs have so many toppings piled on them that it gets quite messy but so worth it. My daughter enjoyed her plain corn dog and the side of mac and cheese. We will definitely be coming back.

We took our food to go and it only took about 10 minutes for our food to come out. My chicken quesadilla was phenomenal and the cheese pull was impressive. For a place that seems to specialize in fries, the other items are also fantastic. I tried one of the fries and they definitely deserve to have the restaurant named after them. My husband loved his burger and even told me he was glad I suggested we try something new over going to a fast food spot. We will definitely be back sooner than later.

Back when I first started coming here, they had the regular flat bottomed containers to put fries in. Last time I went, they gave me a container that has dividers in it which reduced the amount of fries they gave me. I'm a small person, it normally takes me almost an hour to eat a large portion of fry nations fries and most of the time my husband has to finish it for me, but I was able to finish the entire container in less than 15 minutes. If they go back to using the flat bottomed containers I might come back, or if they fix their prices since we're now paying the same price for less.

There is a unique selection of food - sliders, hash, subs, tacos, hot dogs, and sides! All very appealing! I will say there is no "kid" menu but we made it work with hotdogs! Also, no alcohol is served in this open area. Hubby got the Cuban hash and devoured it. I got the Cuban meal and couldn't finish it - even though I wanted to! Our boys each got hotdogs and they both looked really good! We also got a hot pretzel... HIGHLY recommend that! All in all, food was hot, fresh and came out pretty quickly.

We brought a couple of our younger kiddos to Ronnie Mack's to pass the time while we waited for our older kids to finish up some weekend business they had outside of town. We had never been here before, but the great reviews drew us in. I got a cuban sandwich and my husband got a hash. My cuban was incredible, but when I got a bite of my husband's hash, I was blown away. My kids got standard dogs (they don't know how to venture into the great unknown with trying new foods yet), and they were pleased. While we were eating, Ronnie called us over for a surprise bonus to our meal and asked us to give him some feedback on new flavors he was trying out. I don't want to give away the surprise, but once again, I don't know how many times I can express being "blown away". His knowledge and expertise with flavor profiles and balance is superior to most of what I have had. And I am well traveled! Ronnie, thank you for your generosity and kindness. If we ever find our way back down in Sparta, we will certainly be coming back to see you!

The staff seemed to be a bunch of young high school aged kids and they were all friendly and helpful. They were constantly cleaning the dining room which was great to see. The food took about 10-15min, which was reasonable because they were pretty busy. The fries were crispy and I enjoyed my chili dogs for what they are. I'd add cheese next time though because the girl taking my order wasn't sure what was included on it and I said to just make them how they normally do.

If I can get a whole rotisserie chicken at Costco for $5, then why does it cost $17 for 3 little tenders and 6 boneless wings? I understand that the restaurant industry is tough right now and ingredients/labor aren't cheap, but by virtue of the price alone I'm not sure if Wing Kingz will become a regular spot for me. Price aside, the flavor was phenomenal. The seasoning station is truly a thing of beauty. And the woman behind the counter was kind and courteous. All in all, a great spot for some great chicken. A little pricy but certainly worth a visit.
