THE MIDWEST'S BEST BUFFALO WINGS SINCE 1984
Franks For The Memories is a family restaurant in Mundelein, Illinois grown famous for introducing the Chicagoland area to the delicious taste of "Buffalo Wings" which originated at Buffalo, New York's Anchor Bar in 1964.

Jim and Carol Schultz, natives of Buffalo who had relocated to the Chicago area years before, decided to open the restaurant and share with everybody the tasty morsels that made them homesick. Today, Franks for the Memories, run by Jim Jr., serves up hundreds of pounds of Buffalo style chicken wings each day with the authentic side of celery and blue cheese dressing to those who seek a unique and great tasting meal.

If you are a wing fan, you gotta check this place out. Otherwise consider yourself incomplete. Frank's is waaaaaaaaay better than the Anchor Bar in Buffalo!

The wings were excellent here. Very meaty. I had read the reviews previously and have been waiting to go until I had the chance today. I tried the mild and the teriyaki. Both were excellent. The blue cheese dressing is to die for as well.

The owners are from Buffalo and the wings are authentic. And they are VERY VERY VERY good! They are also a great value! The other food is also good, but the wings will blow you away!

FRANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

Franks For The Memories and Buffalo Wings

An experiment in 1964 at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, N.Y. caused the creation of “Buffalo Wings”. The owner, Theresa Bellissimo, took chicken wings, removed the tip and cut them at the joint, leaving the drumstick portion and the flat part. She then deep fried the pieces and basted them in a butter and hot sauce recipe. From what was an improvised snack for her son and his friends grew to be the most popular item at their restaurant. The popularity eventually spread to numerous other restaurants in the Buffalo area, and from there, down the east coast and all across the country.

20 years later, Jim and Carol Schultz, natives of Buffalo who had relocated to the Chicago area years before, decided to open the restaurant and share with everybody the tasty morsels that made them homesick.

Today, just as my parents did, we prepare our Buffalo Wings authentically - they are large, meaty, crispy and delicious. Select from mild, medium, hot and extra hot sauces as well as several specialty sauces. Family owned and operated for nearly twenty-seven years, our Buffalo style wings have continuously been a Lake County favorite. We hope that you enjoy!
