This place comes by way of recommendation from the "Black Foodies". I have no regrets. Excellent catch of the day. The food was fresh and hot. Ample menu choices but I sided with the parmesan wedges and spaghetti. I love the pitas; that was a different offering from the standard crackers. The spaghetti had soul; this was not the standard pasta and sauce. You gotta try. Fast service. Friendly atmosphere. Reasonably priced. Ample parking

Delicious food—-affordable and large portions!!! Hands down, one of the best restaurants in the south suburbs. The chicken wings and catfish dinners were absolutely amazing! I see a few negative reviews on here accusing this business of selling “swai” instead of catfish. Well, my 70 year old mother has been eating catfish her whole life and was taken aback by this accusation because she said her fish that she ate today was indeed catfish, and NOT swai!!! My mother and I agreed that this restaurant was well needed out here. The chocolate chip cookies were warm, soft and scrumptious. So happy that we now have this gem in our community. I look forward to returning to try the Turkey tender dinner next in the coming weeks. I’ll leave another review then. If you are considering trying this restaurant, GO!!! Don’t hesitate because you will not be disappointed!! ♥️

First time going was amazing! The energy I received as I was instantly greeted Coming in was unmatched. Very positive and welcoming. After a brief conversation with the owner I stepped outside and my food was ready in minutes. When I tell you I planned on eating this when I got home but it didn’t make it due to the delicious smell. Both meal never make it out the parking lot! Very very fresh and perfectly cooked. Turkey tenders are a must try!

I saw a review of this restaurant on instagram and decided to try it. Let me say It did not disappoint. We got the combo dinner with 2 sides. The catfish and shrimp combo with macaroni and spaghetti definitely didn’t disappoint. My husband got the homemade fries and Cole slaw. Everything was fresh and hot. The catfish and shrimp were soooo good, crunchy crispy and surprisingly light considering it’s fried. So delicious The sides were fresh, homemade and very good. Also they give soooo much food, which does not happen at most restaurants. Nu way grille you have customers for life.

I wqs looking for a nice rib BBQ joint and I had forgotten that they had established their business so I stopped in to try them out. Let me start by saying the service wqs prompt, friendly and made me feel welcomed. Their food menu is pretty easy on the eyes and the pricing is very adequate. Now, as for the food. I ordered a box of fries w/ mild sauce, a large rib tip and a hot link dinner. The portions were excellent, the sauce had a nice mild tang, the meat was tender and flavorful and we could just smell that smoke on it. The hotlinks were tender with some good heat but not overbearing. They have definitely earned my business and I will certainly be back. Thank you Nu Way for a great BBQ night.

My recent takeout experience at Nu Way Grill was a delightful surprise! We ordered a variety of dishes including the baked catfish, baked chicken tenders, and the turkey burger with sides of Mac n cheese, green beans, and spaghetti. The Nu Way bread was a standout - absolutely delicious! What made the experience even better was the owner's explanation of their unique way of doing things, the "Nu way." His recommendation to try the cookies was a game-changer - they were so yummy that breaking my diet for them was totally worth it! I figure it's just an excuse for an extra workout, right? Everything we tried was top-notch, and the service was both friendly and prompt. The prices were reasonable, and with the convenient location, I know I'll be coming back for more. Highly recommend Nu Way Grill for a tasty meal that hits all the right spots!

What can I say but great food, great service, great people. The owner made you feel like family and the food made u feel like you came home to a well cooked meal. If you don’t come and show this establishment filled with love and passion for their food as well as the people, well then I guess McDonald’s must be your home away from home and you just don’t care about quality, quantity, and compassion. This place has it all. The food was definitely made with love that will make you feel like Grandma and Grandad held had passed it down to mom and dad and held hands when they made it. I’m definitely coming back and I will be definitely trying everything on that menu. They made my Ma smile exceptionally and if she likes it then they are definitely winning for sure.
