Spice N Eat

Sorry Unilocalers, but when a restaurant sells swai fish and call it ‘catfish’, I won’t return. I have southern cooks in my family so I know the difference. Plus I called and the person who answered confirmed it.

I tried all the different chicken and didn’t find one I didn’t like. This isn’t a place you want to eat at since it just has one bench. The prices are great and service is fast. The guys work hard and fast there. I like to grab food from here whenever I’m passing through. You can’t go wrong.

Good stuff here. The owner and staff always friendly and greet you like a long lost friend. The remembers your and always makes you feel special. I’d say the wings are their specialty and they are delicious of the 9 floors the Cajun spicy is awesome, just the right enough of burn.
The fish and shrimp are very tasty as well and priced as expected.
The corn nuggets are the best I have ever had, in fact I’ve stopped by to get a dozen for the ride home.

5^th new spot new this year!
Walk in & it reminds you of a Sharks/​JJ Fish type of place. Wings, fish, chicken, & shrimp. So I wasn’t expecting more than I expect from them! We ordered a 10pc whole wings w/​lemon pepper. It took about 10mins, and our order was ready.
Got home and the wings were fresh and hot out of the grease!!! Lemon pepper was evenly spread in the batter unlike the aforementioned chicken spots who dump lemon pepper on the wings at the end. Wings weren’t fried hard or under fried, but fried to perfection!!! I’m definitely a happy camper w/​this place.
They lost a star because the wings don’t come with bread or fries like other places, and the wings are the small wings too. Another thing, it smelled like someone was smoking cigarettes in there. But it’s definitely gonna be a go 2 for wings for me. It was FYE!!! LOL

They make the wings or wingettes here fresh to order. Best to takeout and order before. A lot of good deals and specials. You can mix the spices up here. Mix the rubs. Hence the name. Ahhh. They also have these really good jalapeño poppers. Love how you can pick between wings or wingettes. Great concept for the serious chicken wing enthusiast who like rubs instead of sauces.

Was very worried at first because when I called to see what time they close the person on the phone did not sound friendly. The food was delightfully delicious. Fried chicken, catfish and jalapeño poppers were all slammin’ with the chicken leading the pack with 4.5 stars. First time ever in my life that I’ve eaten those three items without any condiments at all and they easily complimented each other with every bite. Since I was visiting from Las Vegas I thought I would need to stay on the South Side of Chicago for that kind of taste, but I was wrong. Definitely a place for a good to-​go meal when staying at a hotel in the West Suburbs outside Chicago.

I’m traveling from Cali and was looking for some good fried chicken. The chicken is good. It’s fried nice. A little less seasoning than what I like but I added the Cajun spice for a kick. I must say the corn is really good. I would dine again. My husband ate the catfish and shrimp meal and had no complaints.

Cooked fresh n spiced to order!
The seasoning is good and you get your food hot!!! (I’ve gotten home several times only to eat 10 min later and steam still coming off food). Wings, TilapiaI are the two things I get the 80% oft the time, but will grab shrimp ever blue moon. Love the wedges. At one time they removed the wedges but have brought them back. (And now they removed it again!)
I normally don’t like winglets joints in general. I want the whole wing. Twice I’ve come here and they only had winglets and not whole wings which has made me skip them a few times as I didn’t want to waste time finding out if they had them or not) Usually will get the Cajun Spice over the lemon pepper as it has a nice little kick to it.
Make sure to check if they have the game day special (bulls/​blackhawks etc) that day as it’s usually the better buy. (20 wingettes with fries for $ 11)
$ 2 Pizza Puff’s! (everyone else seems to charge $ 3 in the area)… Haven’t tried the corn nuggets or zucchini sticks but they are next on my list.

One way to explain this place is Diamond In the Rough… The wings are fried perfect. No need to order extra well or hard. They are perfect. I suggest the lemon pepper, hot, and mild. Heck just try them all! Whole wings are the best value. Delicious, and great for parties. Not too excited about the sides. Call ahead because there is always a «well worth it wait».
Family owned business and the staff is nice.

I really wanted to love this place because of all of the great reviews. I wasn’t too impressed… Everything was greasy and not great.

Very good fix for the person looking for some delicious lemon pepper wings, I love the fact that the orders are made the moment you place them ! Service is very accommodating. A great wing place Very limited seating (like one table and two bar stools lol) so plan on taking this meal out.

Great food and awesome service! Go here often for their lemon pepper wings and potatoes wedges and never disappointed. Always hot and crispy and cashier is very polite and friendly. Highly recommend stopping in of you’re in the area

They serve similar food as Harold’s Chicken, but I like this place better. Maybe it’s the area, service, the lack of a glass divider, or the spicing options, but this place is better than your traditional chicken shack. I will say that they can improve on the preparation shrimp. Too many times, my shrimp have slipped out of the breading due to steam in the container. They try to poke holes in the container to vent but it doesn’t help. The shrimp should be placed in large fry bags or something to prevent them from sweating. Other than that, I would say it is pretty good.

Best BBQ Wings in Broadview !!!

In town for the week and saw this place on Unilocal and I was not disappointed! Small place with only two tables for sit down meal, but the food is to die for, along with the prices and customer service! I got the catfish and wedges but definitely plan to come back one more time before I go back to Cali! =)

Gotta love a place that states on their menu that while their food isn’t healthy, it’s made as healthy as possible! The whole wings are awesome and not the freakishly large wings with no flavor you find elsewhere. Chicken tenders are the best I have ever had. Ask your friendly counterman to mix up the dry spices for you. I like lemon pepper and ginger myself.
Service is top notch.

Love this place. They are very courteous and the food is always FRESH and tasty. Love the wingettes and shrimp.

Spice N Eat is okay — far from bad, but overall not great either. I was expecting exotic secret sauces to flavor the wings, but instead I got standard issue buffalo sauce and lemon pepper spices (not a sauce) on breaded wings. I prefer my wings without breading (or «naked»), and felt that with the breading they absorbed too much of the grease. I couldn’t help but feel somewhat let down by my dining experience from here as I had high hopes after reading the other reviews. That said, the seafood might be better with their breading/​spicing cooking methods, and who knows, I might go back and order my wings without breading next time.

I have seen this restaurant all the time next door the Chinese restaurant all the time and finally decided to go in a take a look. They have different kind of wings at a really great price. I usually get the lemon garlic which is my favorite. Whenever I have a craving for wings, Spice N Eat is who I call.

4 stars.
The whole chicken wings with Lemon Pepper are the bomb. My bro-​in-​law requests them everytime they come up for a visit.
I wish they had real fries, though. I’m not a fan of potato wedges.
Food is always hot and delicious. Never a complaint from me!
