Chick-fil-A

★★★★☆ 3.6 (34)

"Stopped by this location for lunch and this place was a madhouse. The lobby area is very small and it was super crammed at the pickup area. The line to order was also very long.There is like 5 flights of stairs you have to take up to the dining room floor and on this hot sunny day we did not have the energy to go up them. We passed on the stairs and waited for the elevator which took forever.. its the slowest moving elevator ever.Once upstairs we luckily found an open table right away and we cleaned it up. Our meal was good and nothing was missing. They were definitely not stingy with their sauces here as they gave us like six of each flavor when we had only asked for two. We didn't interact with any employees since we ordered via the app. Overall our lunch was good."

"Wow this place is delicious! I love chicken tenders so was delighted to see this place open after Roost left a few years ago. You order at a tablet (love not having to talk to someone while I decide, and 10000 points to them for not even having a tip option- I LOVE that at a fast casual place where you place and pick up your own order), and food is ready in a few minutes. I got the 3 pc tender meal for $10.99 and it comes with fries and up to 3 sauces. I got the 24K gold (a mustardy sauce), hot honey, and buffalo. The 24K gold was by far the best- so tangy and delicious! It was great for fries too. The honey was also good, but the 24k was my favorite. The buffalo was my least favorite mainly because the other sauces were better. The food is served in a cute lil mini shoebox (adorable). The tenders were freshly fried and delicious, and the fries were also very tasty. Everyone that walked into my office as I was eating said it smelled delicious, but it tasted even better! Will definitely be back. Tasty food, friendly staff, and good value for the price!"

Luella's Southern Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (993) • $$

"I heard all great things about Luella's and decided to order recommended items from their menu for lunch today.Parking: Street parking was challenging, however I did find parking 1 block away.The place is fairly small and the place was crowded. Energy in the place was happy and bright.There was a line in front of the register.Tables were for small parties; there was even a table for one (1) at the front window (I will eat at a table for one next time, if needed)Diners looked happy and all the food on the tables looked amazing!Food: I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken with Waffles and the Mac & Cheese. Chicken was perfectly fried, just the right amout of crispiness. I got Nashville hot sauce on the side. Maple syrup comes with waffle. Mac & Cheese was Cheesy and delicious, I saved some Mac & Cheese for later.Thank you, Luella's and friendly staff for a delicious experience! I plan to order every item on your menu. Thanks again!"

Parson's Chicken & Fish - Logan Square

★★★★☆ 3.6 (1152) • $$

"Visited this local establishment before a theater evening. I sat at the bar and was promptly helped. I wavered between fish or chicken. I once had the chicken sandwich delivered to a houseparty. Anyhoo, I remember that being good but can't tell you much more about that selection. The bartender recommended I try the fish sandwich. I was good with that selection. In addition to the sandwich which came out within 10 minutes, I grabbed some fries and $3 cheap beer. Sandwich was hearty and fresh. Fries were hot and plentiful. I enjoyed both. I had leftover fries that my theater mate ate on the way to the play. I was fan of this sandwich but on my next go around, will request additional pickles and sauce on the side. All in all meal was good but things sure are getting expensive. Cost me $27 with tip for fish sandwich, fries and beer. Tip: fries come with aioli but charged for ketchup so ask for swap if aioli is not your thing."

The Budlong Southern Chicken

★★★★☆ 3.8 (398) • $$

"I think 2 Stars IS MORE THAN GENEROUS!I ordered via delivery and was EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED ON SOOOO MANY LEVELS!While the delivery box and items were presented as a "delicious" assortment-the opposite was true!The Mac and Cheese tasted like "pure butter" no cheese!The Chicken Sandwich was NOT TENDER and after two bites it hit the garbage can.The Cole Slaw looked "healthy" but was unflavorful...For me, sad that I spent the money as I had been wanting to try their Chicken Sandwich and sides for over a year! BUMMER!"

Hot Chi Chicken

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (17)

"Spicy chicken sandwiches have been the rage over the past few years. Working in the Loop, I opted for trying out Hot Chi Chicken in Revival Food Hall. It was not a bad idea.I ordered the Popeyes Ain't Blim Chicken Sandwich. I got it spicy. It was messy and over-the-top delicious. I'd order it again. The fries were crispy but slightly lukewarm by the time I had walked a block back to work.The prices are what you can expect from downtown restaurants and cafes. I liked the sandwich, and the menu has a few other offerings. This won't be an ongoing thing, but I could enjoy one of their other sandwiches every so often."

Crunch

★★★★☆ 4.3 (8)

"If Crunch looks familiar it's because it was a longtime favorite Good Morgan now with a new name, new menu, and new ownership. We bought several sides which we'll save for shabbas dinner so I can't report on them just yet. However, we brought the loaded fries home for lunch and I'm overjoyed to report: in one word, AMAZING. And, that was after a long drive back home. Fries notoriously don't travel well and I have no idea why they still tasted great but they did. They are indeed loaded, no skimping on any of the ingredients and no skimping on the serving size. So big in fact that we still have a lot left over...when I update this review after shabbas I'll let you know how well the loaded fries reheated."

CM Korean Fried Chicken of Evanston

★★★★☆ 4.2 (24)

"Dined in on a Saturday night. Firstly, the food and ambience were decent and met my expectations - at least in terms of quality, temperature, freshness and taste. No wait (as we were the only customers).However, value and service were both below average. Specifically, counter guy missed one of the items we ordered and did not add it to our order because they misunderstood us asking about the ingredients of one of the entrees as canceling it. We didn't realize it until 10 minutes after our food was brought to the table. I went back and asked about the fried rice dish and they said "Oh, I thought you cancelled it." SMH. Sigh. OK. Never mind.Something annoying you should be aware of: they charge you a 3% "convenience fee" if you pay by credit card. This just screams greedy/shady IMO. The bill was just over $48 for two orders of wings, 1 order of fries and two canned beverages from the refrigerator. Guy tried to charge us for a bottle of Aquafina because my son asked for water. They have a big container of in the form of a self-service water cooler - yet he assumed Aquafina bottled water. No. So you get a teeny little plastic cup (think Dixie Cup) to use with the self serve jug. SMH. But the "convenience" fee? If anything it's more convenient for the restaurant to not have handle cash - yet they punish the customer for paying by credit card. Sorry, but that's wrong. I've not seen this at any other restaurants. IMO, it's nothing more than opportunistic scam. Unfortunately that was the most memorable thing about the visit. I don't envision going back."

"We went to this place for sehri and while we were the only group there their buffet was really good the kabobs and chicken tikka were awesome and while i didn't eat everything in their buffet since it was suhoor. i highly recommend people to try this place out. this was our first time going for suhoor to devon and we really enjoyed it here as a group of 8 people we had a fun outing"

Hot Chi Chicken

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (16)

"Best hot chicken sando in Chicago! We tried both of them at Revival Food Hall before heading to The Nederlander for a fun musical, and they hit the spot. Both of the glazes, the honey butter and harissa, were amazing. The watermelon sugar drink was the perfect accompaniment. If you like crinkle cut fries, you'll love theirs. I know where to go next time I'm craving hot chicken!"

Chubby’s Hot Chicken

★★★★★ 4.9 (74)

"Huge shout out to Antonio who was my server today! Dropped by during rush hour for dinner before going home. This chicken shop opened about a year ago and they have been killing the game with service and food. I decided to order the Leghorn chicken sando and Antonio gave me a free Mac and cheese side to try (I was skeptical - can't just try anyone's Mac and cheese).The sandwich is massive. fresh cut jalepenos and crispy Cole slaw matched with decently portioned chicken tenders that are crisp to perfection. What more could you ask for?! Do yourself a favor and get medium as a flavor. Hot is overwhelming and if it's your first time, you wouldn't be able to enjoy the goodness of the sandwich. The Mac and cheese is highly cheesy and gooey. It's thick and hearty. Definitely surprised me as a fast food restaurant but I surely enjoyed it. I am sure I will return and grab another item. If you're in the neighborhood, check this place out!"

Hello Jasmine - Lincoln Park

★★★★☆ 4.1 (155) • $

"Love to have a restaurant with a full selection of delicious Taiwanese drinks and food. One has to be warned before they make a visit that portion sizes are between generous to quite large, so it's important to bring a large appetite or friend when you're making a visit here. Since everything is so good here, it'll be hard not to try to finish everything you get (for example, the popcorn chicken is a box of all meat, and the bento is packed quite tight and can easily be shared between two people).The drinks here are done quite well, exactly to the special order of ice or sweetness that you desire. This is with high quality ingredients and the boba has the right amount of chewiness to it. The popcorn chicken was tender with a good crispiness to it and the salt and pepper wasn't overwhelming. The bento box is a fantastic way to try lots of different Taiwanese favorites and snacks at the same time including the tea egg and Taiwanese sausage. The pork rib was marinated well and quite crisp. Overall, great food and drink make this a spot I'm excited to visit again in the future. I was very glad to see everything prepared in such an authentic way and to see a menu that's different from what you see at other boba cafés nearby."

The Mixto Cuisine

★★★★★ 4.8 (81) • $$

"Gloomy and pouring buckets outside, but inside Mixto it was bright and cheery with pretty tile-topped tables and friendly staff. We came in during brunch, so the menu reflected both breakfast and lunch items. Some of us ordered a Greek omelet, a smash burger with sweet potato fries, and a grilled chicken sandwich. I ordered a Cobb salad with grilled salmon-- the greens were fresh, the bacon bits were extra crispy, and the salmon was cooked perfectly with a whole sliced egg. This was a generous, colorful, filling entree sized salad. My friend had a cup of tasty tortilla soup and also enjoyed the chicken tostadas topped with lots of fresh avocado and accompanied by a green side salad.This was a cozy family restaurant that takes pride in showcasing quality ingredients and providing tasty food with good value. They were friendly and accommodating. I hope to return to try the dinner entrees."

FRY

★★★★☆ 3.7 (32)

"OMG! Is this the best fried chicken I've had so far??? If it's not, it's pretty damn close. I'll talk about the chicken soon but let me tell you a bit about the restaurant.The restaurant Fry is the first of it's kind in the West. It's a franchise from Iraq and only in Dubai and several middle East countries. They take traditional fried chicken and infuse middle Eastern and Indian spices to give it's food all the love it deserves. All the chicken is hilal so expect the prices to be a little more than usual fried chicken joints. Don't let this turn you off because its SO WORTH IT!On to the chicken...YUMMMMMM! The chicken is SO moist and tender but has a great crisp on the exterior. The spices are all too familiar to me as it has turmeric, and several other eastern spices that just ooze deliciousness! They're fries are tasty and amazing. I tried the standard fries but topped with lemon and black pepper.The dining area is decent sized but very clean and modern. It has dining up to 40 ppl.Moe is amazing the service was on par with most restaurants of it's type. You can see how he values the food and how it tastes. Looking forward to coming back and trying the chicken bowls!"

Chef Art Smith's Reunion

★★★★☆ 4 (162)

"My mom and I recently went to Chicago and this was the first restaurant we went to upon arrival on 6/14/2024 and let me just tell you, the food was smack your momma (but also please don't) good!This would have been a five star review, however service was slowwww and it took forever for someone to greet us, otherwise this place was the move. Great location, good outdoor space and great food. We ordered and we recommend: the fried catfish meal which came with hush puppies and corn grits and collard greens, in addition to that we got a salmon Caesar salad - we shared it all. The food was perfect, no notes! The catfish was perfectly cooked, flavorful, crunchy exterior and a soft and perfectly textured interior, the grits were surprisingly good, lick the bowl good, I am not sure I knew hush puppies were bomb, but they were little balls of awesomeness. Also, someone's grandma was in the back making the greens, they were so delicious and just the right amount of tartness. Let us not sleep on the Caesar salad, the dressing was yummy, the salmon was plentiful, the croutons were crunchy and well seasoned, all in all just perfect!Get off my review and check this spot out! Said with kindness!"

Big City Chicken

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (93) • $$

"Overall: Quality chicken sandwich for one of the better meals at the Pier.The good: Hands down one of the best fast food chicken sandwiches I've had (granted, I haven't had Popeye's). Thick cut of chicken that is breaded well, and comes with my favorite buffalo ranch option. The buns were great as well, and the sandwich as a whole is pretty large. The waffle fries were also a huge plus and were seasoned well. Truly one of the better options at the Pier for a quicker meal.The not-so-good: Pricey, but at least we were full and happy. Long wait time too, probably about 10 minutes (after ordering, which took another 5) during peak dinner time.Food: 9/10 Atmosphere: N/AService: 7/10"

CM Korean Fried Chicken 충만 치킨

★★★★☆ 3.5 (15)

"Korean Fried Chicken is the bomb but only CM has Korean Fried Chicken Livers. Soy garlic or spicy. I prefer soy garlic. Cost is $13 which is worth the cost. There are about 10 tables that you can sit, the area is small but you are able to watch the TVs hanging up or just people in the hallways. Take out orders are convenient as you will get a text when your order is ready for pickup. CM is located in the 88 Market across from Pure Tea. Free Parking."

"I was craving pho for lunch and browsed through Uber eats and found Standard Pho!I checked Yelp and saw Standard Pho was rated a strong 5/5. Read a few reviews and I was sold! My bowl of to go pho definitely did not disappoint and 100% lived up to my expectations!!- Portion size is generous (ginormous!)- Broth is very flavorful and hearty - Brisket was a much thicker cut than usual for pho but was tender melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness Probably the best tasting pho I've tried in Chicago (granted I've only tried 3 other places). I was bummed my Thai iced tea never made it to me but it may have been a mistake by Uber Eats. Will definitely order from again and recommend for a delicious bowl of pho!!"

Sir Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.1 (16)

"Let's talk chicken. Let's talk details. 1st- can we talk about how freakin CUTE/Adorable the logo is? I'm weird and I look at all of that and details are super important to me. 5 stars for logo, the OG name, and packaging. Also- Please come out with a game with your sir chicken and I'll surely play. :) 2nd- crispy, juicy, crunchy crunch, and with a unique Asian spice/seasoning. Very flavorful. Sign me up! Sir- your chicken is la premier. 3- It's a pop-up inside PERILLA Korean American Fare (also fire with the cutest inside patio and a dope Michelle Obama mural) and RUN and try before it's no longer a pop up! I hope you stay for good though! :) I love my chicken and Sir Chicken brings chicken in many ways and you won't know what to order so I recommend trying them all. The house made sauces are so good so make sure to order extra on the side. Choice of: Original? Hot and spicy? Honey butter? Buffalo? The Buffalo is my favorite. I know there are battle of the Chicken sandwiches and I can definitely say Sir Chicken is a top contender. It's also free range chicken so we are talking QUALITY. The chicken sandwich is not only good but I love that they also give you options such as dark or white meat. Most places you have to ask but hellloooo I love my options!!! The tenders are also good and not your average. All the sauces are made in house and don't forget to pair it with them house spicy fries, macaroni, and slaw! I also got it delivered and 5 stars for arriving hot! I'm coming back for them Honey Butter Tender sandwich! That's looks so good too!!! Thanks Sir."

CM Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.1 (52) • $$

"Welcome to Lincolnwood! I've so been looking forward for you to open and I'm sorry for this long overdue review! We love the simpleness of the menu and now we've got even to a point where we know what to get. Our favorite is the garlic soy tikku and the obligatory snow onion, and we also like the red hot gizzard. We tried red hot wings, but we enjoyed much better when it was smaller bites with gizzard because it's quite spicy. They have a loyalty program where if you earn 7 stamps, you can redeem for 1 free whole chicken. Each stamp is for a whole order so if you only get wings, it's only 1/2 a stamp. I am proud(?) to admit I have scored one because we have Korean Fried Chicken nights too frequently! Snow onion- raw sweet onion with special sauce. Typically served on top of original chicken but for takeout, they put on the side so wings don't get soggy. Tikku is their signature flavor that's smoky. It's a unique flavor to chicken wings. It's best tasted when served hot. Gizzard- may sound disgusting but it's quite chewy, and if you're from Korea, you might've grew up eating it. Soy green onion is also good if you're a green onion fan. What are you waiting for? Gooooooooooooo!!! Ordering via phone is easy peasy. They're super nice."

"One time, walking up and down Broadway, we could not resist the smell of the grilled chicken out of this corner restaurant. We decided to walk in and order...the menu is pretty simple...whole chicken, half chicken, quarter chicken...then you pick your side....easy.The chicken was so delicious....the portion was large and the flavor profile of the marinate was right on point....The place is like a diner, so it's no frills, very casual, almost what you see in Latin America. But the taste will have you come back...again and again...."

Hot Chi Chicken

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (61)

"If you like, spicy, deep-fried chicken sandwiches, you've got to try this place. I get a lot of spicy chicken sandwiches, and this one blows them all away. I will be going back here. It's right on the way to home. How can I resist?The atmosphere isn't much to speak of but it's basically a fast food joint, so what do you expect? It does have a really fun name for one of their sandwiches "Popeyes ain't sh@t"I like spicy and they're hot, is really hot. They also have another s flavor called "call ya mama". Sadly, I haven't tried it yet, but I'm nervous."

The Budlong Southern Chicken

★★★★☆ 3.6 (9)

"A new food "hall" and it has a Budlong Hot Chicken? YES! A great little location serving up their delicious food from a friendly staff.They have a small menu, but everything sounds great. I went with The Southern (as I'm a sucker for Pimento Cheese!), served in Nashville Hot sauce, a side of fries, and a root beer. The chicken was fantastic! The flavor was pretty spicy but it was absolutely perfect for me. And the portion size is pretty decent. Sure, prices are higher than I'd like but this is not a run-of-the-mill spot so I can stomach the upcharge.Most importantly, they chicken was ready FAST. It was literally just a few minutes from standing in line to eating, and that's great during a weekday lunch time. And on top of that I got to pick breast or thigh meat - bonus!While I usually don't stray this far east for lunch very often I will certainly remember that this place. If you've never had it, give it a try!"

Harold's Chicken

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (97)

"Downtown location.. Wasn't crowded, everything was cooked to order... Food was fresh and hot, ordered a bucket of wings, fries, and a side of grapes and bananas pudding. Wings and fries was really good with the mild sauce on the side and the banana pudding was really good.. Great service and everything was takeout."

bb.q Chicken Lincoln Park

★★★★☆ 3.8 (52)

"As someone who loves wings, BB.Q Chicken has quickly risen to the top of my Chicago foodie list. A group of friends and I had the pleasure of ordering takeout from and we were amazed. There is an extensive selection of flavors to choose from. I highly recommend the Honey Garlic, Soy Garlic, and Cheesling options. All three are excellent! The Cheesling flavor, in particular, was a pleasant surprise. It's not often you see this choice on a menu. For anyone looking to try something unique and flavorful, I would encourage it. The crispy fried chicken is made to perfection. It's cooked just right, with an optimal level of crispiness on the outside and tenderness on the inside. This sets it apart from other Korean chicken places. BB.Q Chicken also offers a wonderful variety of side dishes. Our personal favorite is the Ddeok-Bokki, a classic Korean street dish with rice and fish cakes. I dipped my chicken in the sweet and spicy chili blend for an extra zing. I would give it a 10/10 recommendation. Give it a try. Overall, the portions were generous, ensuring a pleasurable experience. The prices were reasonable, considering the quality and taste of the meal. With so many Korean wing spots in Chicago, I would highly consider BB.Q Chicken as your next wing stop."

TSAôCAA

★★★★☆ 3.9 (248) • $$

"I was looking for a shaved snow/ice place and this one seemed to fit the bill. I'm honestly quite surprised there aren't more places around Chicago serving this type of dessert. This store has a small free shared parking lot outside with limited spots. Portion is huge and meant for sharing. I went with a peach and mango combo. The fruit tastes very sweet and fresh, with syrup drizzled on top. The shaved snow is very light and creamy and there's a surprise bit of red bean sandwiched underneath the layer of fluffy snow. It's the perfect antidote dessert for a hot steamy Chicago summer day."

Berwyn Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.1 (30)

"Love this place! I've had the chicken wing dinner with a side of mac and cheese. I've also had the fried shrimp and the chips. The chicken was very tasty. I wasn't a huge fan of the mac and cheese. My favorite item is the fried shrimp and the freshly made chips. The shrimp are HUGE! They are perfectly fried and well seasoned and come with your choice of sauce but they are so well seasoned you really don't need sauce. The chips are nice and thin cut and light and crispy. Although it's called Berwyn Chicken, I'm totally hooked on the shrimp!"

Migos Fine Foods

★★★★★ 4.9 (21)

"There are a few restaurants in Chicago that both defy convention and still have delicious food. Migos Fine Food is one of those restaurants. First, they have an a wide and eclectic menu with a good variety of food. They have everything from Mexican food, like tacos and tortas, to more American style comfort food. For example in my one order I got tacos, French fries and a smash burger. Second, their food is delicious. I went for lunch and I ordered French fries, a fried chicken torta, a lamb smash burger, potato empanadas, chicken al pastor tacos, glazed donuts and a fried chicken torta. Everything I ordered was delicious. I particularly liked the french fries which were crispy and perfectly fired, the tacos were very flavorful and the fried chicken torta which was juicy and huge. Also, the glazed donuts, that are cooked to order, are a must order for dessert. Third, the decor is colorful, bright and fun. The restaurant is small, but it's colorfully decorated. In particular, I liked the green feature wall with their logo in neon and the beautiful mural. The cool decor makes eating there an even more pleasant and fun experience. Fourth, the service is friendly and passionate. Everyone I interacted with was nice and seemed to love the restaurant and their jobs. One note, as many of the dishes are made to order, don't expect the speed of a fast food restaurant. However, the extra bit of time it take is well worth it.In sum, this is a must visit hidden gem."

GG’s Chicken Shop

★★★★☆ 3.8 (104) • $$

"New favorite chicken sandwich! And Chicago has a lot of great options- but dang, this one takes the cake. Off the bat, the space is so cute. The design is retro with a fun diner feel. You place your order at the counter which works well because the menu is limited so there isn't much to mull over regardless. The staff working was so efficient and welcoming! I ordered the crispy fried chicken sandwich, complete with b&b pickles, cabbage, spicy mayo, and hot honey on a brioche bun. My husband got the ranchy chicken sandwich and we shared waffle fries, elotes, and Mac n cheese for sides. Our meal was delivered to our table in about 10 minutes, it was a quick turnaround. Everything was incredible. The flavors compliment each other so well, and the breading on the chicken had the perfect crunch. My favorite side was the Mac n cheese, but tbh all were five stars!! We loved GG's and can't wait to be back."
