They kind of reminded me of McDonald's fries - Bulgogi was a large portion over rice - the half chicken was crispy and tons of sauce and the Buffalo spicy was SPICY! - the extra drumsticks were huge!

Great wings!!! If you're looking for a no- frills sports bar with good wings - this spot is it!…read moreSuper casual inside with lots of TVs. For my group of 4, we shared the Crow Platter which includes 50 wings with 5 sauces and 1/2 garlic parm wedges and 1/2 output onion rings. This was plenty of food and we left with lots of leftovers. The sauces we got were the Jim bean bbq, lemon pepper, garlic parm, sweet n spicy, and hot chipotle ranch. All the sauces were soo good! Definitely very sauuucyyy. Bone-in is def the way to go here. The wings are a decent size too! The wedges and onion rings were pretty average. Kinda wish the platter automatically came with ranch/bleu cheese (its extra cost).

I skipped the wings this time and went with a grilled chicken wrap to keep things on the lighter side. It was a solid choice. But the real standout for me was the breaded shrimp tossed in their chipotle buffalo sauce. Crispy, saucy, and the kind of appetizer you keep reaching for even when you say you're full. Also worth noting at Output.... the drink menu is extensive, so there's no shortage of options to pair with whatever you order. Overall, great first visit. Next time, I'll do the responsible thing and actually order the wings like everyone else does.

I've been walking past this place for like 10 years and finally went in, and honestly... I feel…read morelike I got mugged by a sticky-floor college bar. $18 mixed drinks, plus a 4% credit card fee, is wild for a place that feels like it survives on spilled beer, bad decisions, and trust funds. The happy hour is the best ticket. The beer was good tall frosty mug, I'll give them that. But anything beyond beer felt offensively overpriced. The food was good $19 for 9-10 wings were actually the best I have had in a while, smoked then fried tasty and the pork fries seemed good. The crowd was very North Shore college kid energy, like Dad's AmEx is somewhere in the room picking up the tab. Would I come back? Yes and because staff was way cool down to earth and that and wings sold me. Might make Big Daddy's occasional stop but not an everyday watering hole.

House made buffalo sauce, may not be the traditional style most are used to but amazing sauce nonetheless. All the sauces are good but buffalo is my favorite.

Once you eat one wing, you'll be on the last one before you know it, you won't be able to put them down!

We had been craving some seriously good BBQ and kept hearing the same thing: You have to try…read moreWilma's. I'm glad we listened! First off, this place is enormous. It's the perfect spot for a large group, a fantasy football draft, game day, or any sports-watching event. The television screens are massive--there's virtually no chance of missing a play. Our server was fantastic. Friendly, relaxed, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. I also loved that she had a little robot assistant helping deliver food. It struck the perfect balance between technology and hospitality without losing the human touch. She guided us through both the menu and bar selections, and from there everything just kept getting better. The first thing we tried was the Soul Roll, and wow. Imagine all your favorite comfort foods wrapped inside an egg roll and fried to perfection. Brisket, mac and cheese, greens, and yams--all bundled together and served with a sweet yam syrup dipping sauce. It sounds outrageous because it is... in the best possible way. The ribs were tender and practically fell off the bone. The links brought just the right amount of spice. The fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and delicious. The greens and yams were flavorful, and the baked beans? Absolutely magical. As for the bar, it was a mixed experience. I ordered a lemon drop and was told they don't sugar the rim because it creates a mess on the floor. Personally, a lemon drop without a sugar rim feels a little incomplete. However, the bartender did earn some points back by serving it in a highball glass instead of one of their smaller martini glasses, explaining that we'd actually get more of the cocktail that way. Fair enough--I can appreciate that kind of honesty. If you're visiting Chicago and looking for great BBQ, put Wilma's on your list. Come hungry.

I really wanted to enjoy my visit to Wilma's BBQ in downtown Chicago, but unfortunately, it fell…read morewell short of my expectations. My party of four visited for Sunday brunch, and the restaurant was basically empty when we arrived. The escalator also wasn't working, which wasn't the best first impression. We ordered fried wings, rib tips, and drinks, but our food didn't come out together. For a table of four, it's disappointing when everyone isn't served at the same time. The biggest disappointment was the lemon drop martinis. After one sip, they were far too tart and overly citrusy for our taste. The glasses were still nearly full, so we politely asked if they could be remade or exchanged for a different cocktail. We were told that all alcohol sales are final. While I understand restaurants have policies, I was surprised there wasn't any willingness to accommodate us, especially since we had barely touched the drinks and simply wanted a different cocktail. As for the food, the fried wings lacked seasoning, and the rib tips were rubbery and didn't have much flavor. Being from Texas, I enjoy BBQ where the meat stands on its own, so I asked for the BBQ sauce on the side. Unfortunately, even with the sauce, the rib tips didn't have the quality or flavor I was expecting. The staff was polite, but the food quality, drink experience, and overall execution didn't live up to the reputation I was hoping for. I hope management takes this feedback as an opportunity to improve because the restaurant has potential.

First time trying Harold's and fortunately it'll be my last…read more I came based on a recommendation as it was my first time visiting Chicago. initial impressions, just going in the establishment, another reviewer described it perfectly as "dingy"... Most of the food was a major letdown. The chicken came out hot, so I'm assuming it was made to order, but both the tenders and wings were overcooked, dry, and pretty flavorless. For what I paid, especially the side portions like the okra were pretty disappointing... Taste wise, it was the best tasting thing I got, but still very skimpy portions... literally maybe a few tablespoons of okra lol. The customer service was even worse. On Sunday morning, August 9, 2026, the gentleman working the register made an already disappointing experience even worse. The large partition at the register made it difficult to hear him especially with all the loitering bystanders coming in and out of the establishment and how loud things were behind the counter in the kitchen. so when he first asked if I wanted a bag, I asked him to repeat himself. I said yes the second time, he handed me my food, and then said "thanks, dumbass." I don't think he realized how loud he said it, trying to say it underneath his breath I guess... I just kept my composure and left since he had already handed me my food. No need to make two fools out of this situation. There was no misunderstanding or mistake in what I heard. I can only assume he thought he could get away with saying it because I had to ask him to repeat himself earlier, I really don't know what his problem was... Either way, if you don't have much patience, you need to get off that register bud, and do something different... Can't have horrendous customer service and subpar food. First visit, first impression, and a very easy decision not to come back. Especially with so many better places to get chicken of all things... I can't see any reason to spend my money here again.

(Kari's Rating 8/10)…read more Came in on a Friday night about 8 o'clock, and I didn't realize there was a basketball game tonight, so the bar was really packed with IU fans. I heard off this place from an Instagram video from a food blogger. There wasn't initially seating when we first got in, but the bartender/hostess helped us make a makeshift table. We also didn't have a chair so she had to go find a chair and she found one so really appreciate her hustle. The wings came out pretty quickly, the honey barbecue wings were really sweet, and came with a substantial amount of sauce. The ranch was impeccable. It was not too thin and came with celery. The birds nest hot sauce was relatively hot for a medium. I was definitely feeling the spice after two or three. I think there was a little too much sauce on the wings for me, personally, but overall very good. The volume is really loud because everyone was there for the game, so we kinda had to yell over each other to have a conversation. We got our check pretty quickly and the servers were really attentive. I would definitely come back if I was in the area, but I probably wouldn't come all the way from River North for this again.
