Top 10 Munchies Meals from Your Favorite Chicago Spots
EPIC Burger
Sometimes you need a meal where calories don’t count. Where you don’t care about getting some green on your plate or hitting all the sections of the Food Pyramid. Sometimes you just need a good old fashioned food binge. And when you have the munchies, there are a few Chicago spots with dishes that will satisfy any craving. Whether you want sweet, salty, cheesy or crunchy…these munchy meals are the way to go!
The Smoke Daddy Ribs Sampler: If you’re a carnivore who doesn’t mind getting their hands dirty, any one of Smoke Daddy’s BBQ platters will be right up your alley, but the Ribs Sampler is the coup de grâce. A sampling of all their amazing ribs…all on one plate!
Bonci Pizzeria’s Soppressatta Pizza: We love a whole pie now and then, but the nice thing about Bonci is you can try all kinds of pizza slices from one spot. Mixing and matching between the 13 varieties available for delivery means you can have their amazing Soppressatta Pizza but still have room for other favorites like the Margarita and the Meatball (All Beef).
The Double EPIC Burger: Bacon. Spicy Ranch. Extra cheese. Whatever you want on your burger, you can have it. These two-hand burgers are a simple but seriously delicious munchy meal, especially when paired with an EPIC Nutella or Peanut Butter Shake.
Stan's Donuts Maple Long John: Sometimes the munchies hit in the morning! And that’s where Stan’s comes in. The Maple Long John is a classic, but they also have Old Fashioneds, Bismarks and even Pockets with sweet filling to dig into.
Roots’ Mozzarella Sticks: These babies are giant, perfect for dipping, and worth every bite! You might plan on sharing with pals, but trust us, you’re going to end up wanting every single one of these for yourself.
The Sloppy Pig from Jake Melnick's: Warning! This WILL get messy! The Sloppy Pig lives up to its name thanks to chopped pork, brisket and chicken topped with cheddar and fried onions. We understand if your mouth has already started watering.
Bandit’s Disco Waffle Fries: For a unique twist on an old favorite, Bandit tops their fries with bulgogi-braised short rib, cheddar, and kimchi. It’s a messy, flavorful dish, perfect to share with your munchy buddies.
The Walking Taco from Big Star: If you’ve never had a Walking Taco before, let 2020 be the year! Made with corn chips, spicy pinto bean dip, cholula salsa, crema, queso chihuahua, onion and cilantro, all served in a Frito’s bag - It’s ideal for munching on the go.
Lucky Klucker Classic Buffalo Wings: Chicken wings might be one of the most classic munchies meals, and Lucky Klucker has some of the best in the city. We love the Classic Buffalo, but if you’re extra daring, you can also risk it for the biscuit and try the Chicago Fire for some extra spice!
Smack Dab Supreme Pizza: It’s SUPREME-ly delicious! ;) All jokes aside, this Rogers Park spot serves up amazing pizza by night and tasty breakfast sandwiches by day. They’re a great spot to visit for a feast, no matter the time.
