👍 Initial Thoughts: the name is misleading. When I read "Chicago Munchies" I was thinking more of iconic foods like Chicago Style Dogs or Pizza and stuff along those lines. Instead, this is a fish and chips, fried food type joint. Cleanliness: Besides the occasional homeless person outside the front... People often mention fries,

    Initial Thoughts: the name is misleading. When I read "Chicago Munchies" I was thinking more of iconic foods like Chicago Style Dogs or Pizza and stuff along those lines. Instead, this is a fish and chips, fried food type joint. Cleanliness: Besides the occasional homeless person outside the front entrance the tables, floor, and bathrooms were clean. No complaints. Food: I ordered the 2pc Catfish Filet and 3pc Perch. This came with fries, bread, and coleslaw (although I never got the slaw). The best thing about this place is everything is cooked to order. So, the wait time was about 30+ mins or so but the food was exceptionally hot. Ideally, you wouldn't eat there but by the time you get home your food would be the ideal temperature. The batter and breading on this fish was very tasty. Also, the cuts of fish were thick, white, and flaky. Very impressed by the portion to price ratio. Final Thoughts: Overall, I gave this review four-stars because the name of the restaurant was misleading, the wait time was much longer than expected (although I understand that is the trade off between freshly made and already made). So, in the future I would call ahead to order. I usually wait a few days before reviewing a restaurant to allow the food to go through me and see how I feel the next day. With that being said the next day was fine and the food did not upset my stomach or cause any unwanted bathroom trips. I would try this place again and recommend it for anybody looking for a good fish and chips joint.

    Their Philly cheese Chicken and Beef steak sandwiches are so delicious and satisfying. Gyro plate very generous in portion and tastes amazing. The Head chef and owner of the restaurant works very hard. Unfortunately this is not located in a safe neighborhood. Best for takeouts only, we place our order 15 minutes in advance so that we do not need to wait. Update: Try their chicken wings- yum!

    It says it’s Hala but there os no other indicator of knowing if it’s hala or not so they need to clear that and explain it more instead.

    Hot food burning through styrofoam causes cancer now the styrofoam is directly on my food, continually putting hot chicken wings straight out of the fryer into styrofoam containers is not healthy for customers, the food even burns through the container in some instances.

    The food is good and the portions are huge. The lady behind the counter is all smiles. I only went 4 stars because the dining area could stand repair and some people may not be comfortable with the location. If you can get past that, go hungry because you will get a great meal.

    First time here. Ordered 2 perch dinners that came with bread and fries. The perch was delicious. I gave 4 stars because the fries were hard and we had to be persistent on getting more sauce. 5 huge pieces of fish were in each dinner. Seasoned very well. Also had 2 coleslaw which were very tasty.

    We ordered for pick up and food was hit.chicken was seasoned well and hot my only complaint would be please stop putting cheese on Italian beef sandwiches!! It just doesn’t work. Anyone who has ever had a man authentic Italian beef sandwich would no that’s a serious no no. Other than that the food was really good and I would order from them again.. just not the Italian beef 😂
