Agee’s Pizzeria & Grill

Tasteful and Zabiha so it’s a plus. The down side it’s greasy food but that’s expected with the menu, they just make it taste good.

Best HALAL fast food Restaurant.
Reasonable prices. Love there gyros and pizzas.
MUST TRY!!!

After hearing quite a bit about Agee’s, I finally made my way up to try this place out.
Like some of the other reviews have mentioned, this isn’t the safest place so make sure you go during daylight hours.
The service here is very kind and casual, the place is run by 2 or 3 young men who are always very nice and more than willing to help you make your decision. There are SO many items to choose from — which can be a bad thing if you have difficulty making food decisions, like me. :P
I’ve had the Maulana burger and the spicy grilled chicken sandwich.
The Maulana burger was indeed good, but nothing too extraordinary.
The spicy grilled chicken I got was recommended to me at my second time at Agee’s, and it was absolutely delicious! It was a generous piece of chicken that was cooked perfectly (most grilled chicken sandwiches I’ve tried tend to be dried out from the inside, but this was perfectly moist).
I do think I will be back because the brothers here are really nice and the food is good, but I don’t know if I’ll particularly be making special trips just for Agee’s.

Never given out a one-​star review before, but this place earned it.
A simple order, I thought. Two items: 16″ cheese pizza, and a gyros. Easy, right? The guy who answered the phone and took my delivery order seemed to grasp that much. But then we come to the tricky part: my address. Carmen Avenue. Car men. C-​A-​R-​M-​E-​N. I said it slowly. I enunciated. I spelled it. I spelled it slowly. I did these things several times. If one could hear a blank stare through the phone, I would’ve. He asked what it was near, grasping for some sort of landmark, adrift in a sea of ignorance. I calmly explained it was between Lawrence and Foster. I’d already told him the house number, so I foolishly assumed he knew exactly how far west it was. Anyways, Foster and Lawrence are two widely recognizable streets in our neighborhood. Yes, OUR neighborhood — I live a little over a mile from Agee’s! Hence my bewilderment at the situation. So, after more spelling from me and befuddlement from him, he told me the total was 20.40 and it’d take 45 mins to an hour. Ok. Now we play the waiting game…
…the waiting game sucks, let’s play Hungry Hungry Hippos!
But wait! A phone call! Why, it’s confused guy, calling me back ten minutes later, to ask about my goddamn street name again. Carmen! Car, like an automobile? Men, like the plural of man? No? Too many syllables in Carmen? I’m running out of ideas for how to explain this. Perhaps charades? Dunno how well that’d go over the phone, but I’m getting desperate. It’s a half mile north of Wilson. You know, Wilson? The street you’re ON right now, perplexed guy? Charlie Alfa Romeo Mike Echo November. Understand? Nothing. Fuck me.
So an hour goes by. The waiting game, indeed it does suck. Finally another phone call. A girl this time. She also wants to know what street I live on. Facepalm. Carmen. I say it once, she makes a sound of understanding, and I hang up as she starts to tell me how long it’s gonna be til she arrives.
After another 20 mins or so, a total of an hour and a half have passed since my initial call. I’d hoped to have dinner before going to work, but it’s become clear that won’t happen. I leave the cash with my wife and drive away, hungry and pissed off.
Fast forward a couple hours. I’ve walked the dogs (that’s my job, I’m a dogwalker), and now head home for a long-​awaited dinner. It had indeed arrived… eventually. Two hours after my order was placed, it had arrived at our house 1.2 miles from Agee’s. It was stone cold, of course. Not only that, but I discovered an additional, mystery Styrofoam container full of breaded mushrooms. Cold ones, sure, but I assumed it was a good-​will gesture, an apology of sorts for the incompetence of the staff at Agee’s. Not so fast! My wife told me the total was 24 bucks, not the 20-​and-​change baffled guy had quoted me earlier. Pizza is 11 bucks, gyros is 4.50, tax, delivery, seems like 20 and change is about right. But to charge me another $ 4 for some mushrooms I didn’t order, that’s just the last straw.
Unacceptable. Look, I’ve had my share of shitty jobs, I’ve worked customer service, fast food, and I know as well as anyone that hell is other people. But take a little pride in your job, people. I hope whoever owns the joint reads this review, and reprimands the entire staff, or at least the guy answering the phone. You know, the guy whose job it is to take orders correctly? Maybe hire someone who has some idea of the streets in the neighborhood. Or the alphabet. Or someone without shit in their ears. They should be embarrassed.
Welcome to my one-​star club, Agee’s. It’s very exclusive.

First off, HALAL.
The food here is pretty good and tasty, The staff here is also very friendly and courteous. The food comes pretty quick as well. The menu is pretty extensive with a lot of variety. I would definitely recommend this place for the food and service. The only bad thing about this place is the atmosphere and location. Not located in the best of places. The guests that walk in to the place are not friendly. Because of the location, random people will walk in and be loud and rude. Take-​out would be the way to go with this place. They have delivery as well which is a huge plus.
We had the pizza with wings. Both the dishes were very well cooked and tasty. My wife ordered the gyro cheese-​burger which was a good size burger. The best amongst the order was the pizza and wings along with the fries.
Definitely worth a try! I would go back for the pizza and wings and maybe try a few other dishes but only for carry-​out or delivery.

Awesome little Chicago-​style fast food place across the street from Truman College. Y’know, the type of place that has EVERYTHING on the menu?
I stopped in here drooling with glee when I saw they had fried chicken gizzards on the menu. HOT DAMN! I didn’t care that I already had a sub from Jimmy Johns in hand, gizzards are hard to find!
$ 5 got me a giant styrofoam contained packed full of fried gizzards and fries. Totally by guilty pleasure food.
I’ll be back to try the other stuff — after all, they do serve pizza, fried chicken, subs, soup, salads, seafood, sandwiches, gyros, tacos, burritos and wings.

Yummmmmmy! Aside from the the crazy location where random people walk into the restaurant just to talk, curse and yell, this place is delicious! Zabiha Halal and close enough to home that I can have some great fast food within minutes.
I went here with my siblings and we ordered a bit of everything and I loved it. My favorite is their Chicken Philly and their wings! I also love the staff, they’re friendly and sweet. What more can you ask for?
I just wish they’d change the location, I sometimes avoid going here in the evenings just because it gets kind of creepy and feels dangerous walking around if I park really far because of the neighborhood.
