Tony's Fried Chicken

Holy moly that was some good fried chicken! Enjoyed the mash potatoes & gravy and coleslaw as well. Highly recommend.

I went here with my partner on a Monday afternoon looking to pick up some lunch. This place accepts hot food EBT, if you're eligible for it. I got an 8 piece chicken and 4 spicy chicken tenders and some potato wedges.This is a mom-pop vibe shop and I wanna help out but I still be honest, I'm not crazy impressed. The food is genuine and smelled incredibly good but once we started eating, there's not much that differentiates it from other standard/sub-standard fried chicken. I couldn't help but think of other chicken options, like hotboys, or other chain or restaurants, and help to think if we would've been more satisfied elsewhere.It's a good value though. It served us 2 meals for about $32, which is honestly pretty respectable!If I'm on a crunch and need a bite close by, it's not bad, but it's not my first choice.

WHY WE WENT HERE:- wanted to try a new (to us) fried chicken jointTHE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE):- located on the corner of 23rd Ave and 42nd Ave- located next door to Hi & Buy LiquorTHE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE):- not a dine-in type of place; it's literally an order and take-out type of placeTHE MENU:- various fried things including American fried foods and Indian fried foods; menu differed from the front (outdoors) vs. inside (by the cash register) but apparently all items are available to orderWHAT WE ORDERED:- bone-in chicken- honey biscuits- potato wedges- onion ringsTHE TASTE:- the look and taste was reminiscent of (good) Krispy Krunchy Chicken locations, especially the honey biscuits- chicken was very crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside; seasoned nicely - honey biscuits were good!- potato wedges were solid; hard to find a place that messes those up- onion rings were decent; could have been better if they were packaged in a box vs. in a bag; everything but the onion rings traveled well in the car ride homeCUSTOMER SERVICE:- kind of feels like they rush you to order and get out- we were led to believe that the sauces that are in "cups" were in-house; we were surprised to see that it's $0.85 per small Sweet Baby Ray's condiment cup of the Buffalo Wing Sauce and the Barbecue Sauce (just have your go-to condiments at home ready; better deal that way vs. buying the sauce here)

The 5 stars is strictly for the chicken and chicken alone. This is some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. It's crispy, juicy and flavorful. We did order some sides: biscuits, macaroni and cheese, coleslaw and potato wedges. The biscuits were nice and drizzled with honey, while the rest of the sides were hit or miss. Don't get the coleslaw, just don't.Overall, the star of the show is the fried chicken and it's definitely worth the trip. Pro tip, definitely call ahead or order through an app and give them about 20-30 minutes since they fry the chicken to order.

Took forever for my food, I was the only one in there. and the chicken was very greasy.

Delicious and crunchy fried chicken! Loved the biscuits as well. The gravy on the mashed potatoes could've used a little more flavor.

Craved for fried chicken but didn't want to go to KFC or Popeyes due to bad customer service so I found this place and decided to try them out and OH MY GOODNESS! The fried chicken was so good! FYI, the chicken did have a little bit of spice to it for those of you who can't tolerate spice at all. When I say very little, I mean minimal. It's not spicy where you'll need to drink water to bring the spice down. Let's just say it's perfectly seasoned, juicy, and crunchy! They had sides on their menu but we were strictly craving for fried chicken so we only got that. Will definitely order sides with the fried chicken next time. Did I mention they had good customer service? From now on, this is our go-to fried chicken spot. Highly recommend this place if you're craving Popeyes/KFC but want a better customer service experience.

The chicken was good, a lot like KFC, but the guy forgot to put the BBQ sauce in the bag, and I ordered the samosas, and I was disappointed you could get the frozen ones at Costco that taste better, and they come with the better sauce. The mashed potatoes was about as good as what you get at KFC, and the macaroni and cheese was probably worse than KFC.For how much everything cost I don't think I'm gonna go back

surprisingly good! lol dont let the strip mall scare you, this place has good fried chicken. they made it fresh so we had to wait 15/20 min for a family meal but thats find with me! fresh is better. also the "hi and buy" market next door has alot of snacks i dont see at most places.

First off the fried chicken is good, not great but good. The sides are lacking but hey it's a small place in the heart of Oak Park. The gentleman working and cooking the chicken was very pleasant and he even helped me to my car with my huge order.Drawback: the area! I would never allow my wife to go get food here! Too many vagrants and homeless and what I can only assume were drug dealers and not good ones either. A place like this in a nice neighborhood would do much better!
