Best WLM Reviews
This place has been saved in my "want to go list" for a while. I was walking by after a long afternoon, and decided to get some food to cheer me up. There were some other people waiting for orders, chatting with the employees. It was such a warm welcoming vibe that instantly cheered me up (what a cliche)! The man who took my orders was so sweet, he gave me some suggestions, and an extra soda ????
The food smelled soooooo good. When I sat down on the bus, the girl next to me asked where my takeout was from, and we chatted about chicken wings until I got off.
Prices were super reasonable. I'm not a food photographer, my bad, but I got:
- Chicken Wings w/ Seoul Sassy (it comes with garlic bread!)
- Chicago Dog
- Korean Beef Rice Bowl
My roommate and I loved everything, and had leftovers for round 2!
I don't usually leave reviews, but really wanted to shout out this awesome place for shattering my high expectations! ❤️
First time I had to try the steak bowl. It was very good. Almost everyone I saw was getting dogs and they looked fantastic. French fry’s were great. I’ll be back soon. Recommend.
Chicago likes its wings like it likes it’s quarterback, a little sassy. The owners of Budaki’s are also the owners of Crisp! You immediately find that out because they also serve the Seoul Sassy Crisp wings at this location!
This is honestly one of my best finds because it’s a no nonsense grab and go type place with an emphasis on quality food. There is minimal seating inside but when it’s nice weather there’s tables outside. You can order all the foods Chicagoans love here, hot dogs, pizza puffs, the Crisp wings, Italian beef, Philly cheese steak, breaded mushrooms, mozzarella sticks, Mac and cheese bites, cheeseburgers, Korean steak bowl, corn dogs and of course you can wash all this down with a milkshake!
The prices are the best in the area and the prices on the board also include the tax so there are no surprises about how much the Chicago government is taking from you! In a neighborhood with a lot of fine dining options this place sticks out more than Biden doing a commencement speech at Morehouse.
Unlike Diddy, I sincerely make no apologies for my love of this place. I cannot recommend this place enough. It may single-handedly be the pound for pound best taste for value in Chicago!
Kinda makes you realize how unseasoned Portillos is and how greasy Al’s is. TBH I was just sort of expecting this place to another greasy spoon joint. The beef was so soft and not fibrous or dry. Whoever is working the grill made the food so fast I barely had enough time to scroll my feeds before the food was out. I asked for my beef super soaked and they made a little dish out of the foil and my sandwich was sitting in a good amount of its own juices.
Korean steak bowl is good. Done better than alot of Korean restaurants ???? beef is super tender and the scallions are a really nice touch. Made me a little homesick for my mom on this rainy day. They were nice enough to give me a little bit of kimchi. I would say the only thing I thought was lacking was some kind of pickle element to the beef bowl. Easy fix though and not everyone likes pickled foods so it’s understandable.
Staff are so kind and sweet. Had a bit of a rough day so this visit really brought my spirits up. Also as a strawberry cheesecake lover the milkshake was really nice. I liked that it wasn’t too sweet.
Big parking lot
If you are a fan of McDonald's fries you will love these. The only difference is these are better. Overall the Italian beef and beef bowl were great. Kinda unusual to have a $11 minimum to use your credit card, only reason this isn't a 5 star.
Italian beef - amazing. Sloppy but so good. We also had the fried chicken wings - much bigger than we thought. We got greedy and ordered 5 wings instead of 3 for two people as appetizer. It could have been someone’s main. The service was fast and friendly. The restaurant and the tables outside were clean (and they gave us alcohol pads with the paper napkins). If I lived in Chicago, I would stop here all the time. Also it’s within easy train ride of Wrigley and makes for a convenient lunch stop before the afternoon Cubs games.
Been going here for over a decade. Expansive menu with plenty options. Fries are always cooked to perfection. Italian Beef and Hot dog specials are go tos. Seoul Bowl is good too if you’re in the mood to try something different!
Delightful spicy wings, fried to perfection! Delicious Korean steak bowl with a tasty sauce over well-cooked rice. Don't just have burgers, dogs and fries here. Try it all!! Their prices are reasonable. Today I paid around 16 dollars for five LARGE wings and fries. Around twelve dollars for the Korean steak bowl and $1.75 for two cheese cups.
