Close-up of shawarma and falafel bowls drizzled with garlic sauce

Flare Guys brings bold, flame-kissed Mediterranean flavor to Wood River, Illinois. Every bowl starts with fresh vegetables, house-made sauces, and meat cooked low and slow for that signature charred, juicy bite — piled high with pickled turnips, tangy tomato-cucumber salad, crisp pickles, and our creamy garlic sauce drizzled on top. Whether you're craving a hearty shawarma bowl or crispy, golden falafel, every plate is built to order and packed with flavor.

We believe good food brings people together, and that's exactly what we're building here in the Riverbend area — a welcoming spot where quality ingredients meet fast, friendly service. From our kitchen to your table, Flare Guys is all about fresh, flavorful, feel-good Mediterranean food you can taste in every bite.
