Wings Over Evanston

Closed July 24, 2015. Even in a university town, poor customer service and mediocre food will do you in…

Love their large wings! Waaaay larger than wing stop, buffalo joes, and other places. I recommend their spicey garlic, mustang ranch and garlic parmesan… bbq is good too. So many flavors to choose from.

Ordered to go ⁵⁄₂₈ after 8pm. Wings are good. Sweet potato fries are usually soggy and they are not friendly at all over the phone. Very short and no thank yous. Only ordered cause buffalo Joes was closed.

Northwestern might not survive without Wings Over to keep us going during those long late night study sessions. I prefer bone-​in to boneless wings because they’re crunchy and more fun to eat, but either option is perfect if you want a decently priced meal or snack. Honey BBQ is my favorite non spicy flavor, but my real love is that they offer a full range of extra spicy buffalo flavors. The spice level I choose really depends on my mood that day, but they’re always good. Waffle fries are great and sweet potato fries aren’t bad!

This place is so unprofessional. We ordered a meal at night from these people and the driver never showed up. Then when we called the person on the phone was rude and said the order would be right out. She actually hung up on my son. It never showed up again. When I called no one answered the phone. I went over the next day and demanded my money back. The woman called me the next day (because apparently there is never a manager there) and said that they had reimbursed me. I just checked. NO REIMBURSEMENT. These people are so inept. I just filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

The fries are really soggy here, and the wings are nothing to write home about. I’ve had various flavors of their boneless and bone-​in wings.
Regardless of those traits, I order from this place when I’m just too tired to give a sheet. The speed of delivery is very good (always within 30 min for me), and they’re open late.

I went here one night around midnight. The place smelled like dirty water and the workers were just texting on there phones. I then ordered my boneless wings meal and wait about thirty minutes. When I bought my food back it was cold like it was sitting around twenty minutes and tasted awful. I tried to contact management in the store and by the franchise, I was ignored by both. I will never try this place again and recommend it to no one.

Given it’s late night hours, I order wayyyyy too often from here after a late night out. The good thing about it is the fast delivery and pretty decent wings. The bad part is anything other than the wings.
I am a fan of the Honey BBQ, Honey Mustard, Teriyaki and any of the pre-​soaked sauce boneless wings. The wings are usually cooked tenderly and they lay on a heavy dose of sauce, which is the way i like my wings.
However, their french fries and waffle fries are pretty bland and disappointing. Often times the french fries will arrive soggy, having sat in a closely tied box for too long. Their onion rings are pretty good but one order always has too few onion rings, which is kind of a rip off for its price.
In short, if you are starving with no options at midnight, I would go with them. Otherwise I would look elsewhere for wings.

This place is horrible… The only thing that was good wast the Sprite. The food was very fresh. I ordered the boneless wings with the sauce on the side, it was clear that they watered down the honey mustard. The waffle fries I ordered was soggy and lacked any seasoning… I will NEVER order from here again…

Came here from west rogers park to try a diff place for wings. I ordered 15 «naked wings» fried extra crispy with 3 sauces on the side… Absolutely delish! I am a wing connoisseur and this night the wings were delish! Ill be back again!

As a wings-​fanatic and starving student, I used to order these babies three times a week. I know.
I will almost always get teriyaki, honey bbq, and golden bbq. The dry rubs are okay, but it’s all about the extra on sauce. The phone service isn’t the best sometimes, and I’ve had some impatient, kinda rude answerers. They made «all flats» an option on the website, but didn’t give it to me whenever I tried to check it off. Also refused it on the phone. Then don’t make it an option, know what I mean?
Otherwise, I have never been disappointed. Optimal for college students who need a late night fix. Not for the cholesterol levels though.

I’ve had great experiences with wings in the past, but I just had a terrible one. I ordered my wings at 10:00 and at 10:45, the online order form said they were already delivered. I didn’t get a call or anything. I called them up and calmly asked what happened, so the cashier said she’d send another over and it’ll arrive very soon as there is a delivery man ready. This was a polite and reasonable interaction.
I called back at 11:30 asking where my wings were and the cashier got angry with me. I asked if I could get something free in return for them taking so long and the cashier yelled that they’re already giving me a free order by delivering it again after the first one got stolen. She then accused me of taking the first one and asking for another to be delivered free. After now getting accused of being a thief and getting yelled at for wondering where my food was after 1.5 hours, I asked to speak to the manager, but the cashier said the manager was too busy to talk to me. I paid online when I ordered, so I couldn’t even back out. The cashier hung up the phone on me, saying I was wasting her time. I haven’t gotten my wings yet, but I’m scared to eat them if they do finally arrive, as they may have spit in it.
In the past the food has been fine, nothing special, but this cashier is incredibly rude and the manager clearly doesn’t care about the customers.

Garlic-​Parmesan boneless wings are my jam! This place does great wings and boneless! Good for kids. Good for grown ups. A little pricey but their stuff is super fresh!
The buffalo sauce is on the spicy side so be careful. Even the wimpy sauce has some kick so beware!

They Took 25mins To Give My Food And Wouldn’t Let Me Dine In Cause They Closed In A Hour.

It’s perfect for those super late night visits as a hangover cure. The wings are pretty big as they claim to be, but they aren’t that great to eat. They are edible and convenient and that is all. Service is really non-​existent as it’s more of a fast food kind of feel with only one person in the front taking orders and handing them to you when it’s ready. They have a huge seating area that seems to be empty every time I have been in there.

I would like to leave 4 stars based on the good but the service we got when we ordered was just a joke. When we walked up to the counter we never even received a hello. Once we started ordering she seemed miserable to have to be working. She shouldn’t be working a job with face to face interaction. On top of that the kitchen staff had their rap music blaring, literally to the point I thought there was a club out back. Very professional.

I used to love ordering Wings Over, and, honestly, I really love their honey bbq wigs. I even love their fries, which are usually crispy and steamy (although sometimes they arrived soggy).
About a week ago, however, one of my close friends ordered Wings Over one night — and it never arrived. He called them twice to ask about whether or not his delivery was going to arrive, and he was assured both times that it was. Obviously, it never did. He then called the next day to ask if he was being refunded for the wings that never came. He was assured that the refund had already gone through (without anyone informing him) and that the money should show up in four to five days.
Four to five days later, the money still hasn’t appeared in his account.
Not only is it unacceptable that his wings never arrived, the customer service he received following this incident was awful. No one ever apologized for the error, and he was informed literally until Wings Over closed that his wings were «on their way.»

I’ve only ever ordered from this place, so I can’t speak to the ambiance of the restaurant, but the food they make it pretty decent. I’m honestly not that big a fan of the wings themselves, but the waffle fries are awesome, everything is pretty cheap, and the delivery time is short.

SO disappointed. I’ve been meaning to write this update for a while now, but because my first few encounters with Wings Over Evanston have been largely positive, I tried to overlook their recent string of disappointments. BUT my most recent experience was so bad it had to be done.
The last time I ordered from here (i.e. a couple days ago) I ordered delivery about 45 minutes before closing. I understand that late night orders are more of a hassle, but my experience was unacceptable.
1. Order was late.
2. Two of the 10 wings were broken and had bone shards in the order.
3. One of the chicken wings looked undercooked (pink liquids seeping out after I took a bite)
4. Completely forgot to include the dressing.
5. Barely any sauce.
Unacceptable, Wings Over Evanston. You lost a valuable customer.

Love, love this place. Sometimes during a long study sesh, Wings Over is the only thing that keeps me going. Delivery is fast, food is always hot… what’s not to like?
Their normal wings are very delicious and juicy (while Buff Joe’s has a yummier classic sauce, I think, their wings are significantly smaller). It’s always fun to munch on these with friends late at night. Boneless wings are also amazing — I order these when I’m just eating by myself. They’re always juicy and hot and perfectly fried.
Favorite dry rubs: garlic parmesan (it’s so addictive and delicious, but on the saltier side) and mustang ranch. Favorite sauces: honey BBQ and cajun BBQ (both are on the sweet side, but it’s so good).
