The chicken here is fantastic. I'm from Wisconsin and love a good broasted chicken IYKYK.. this checks the boxes. Salty, juicy, tasty chicken. I recently have been on a spice kick, can't find anything spicy enough type vibe, the XXX here destroyed me. A euphoric experience. Through the pain it STILL had mad flavor. Excited to go back and tone It down a notch with the Nashville. Sides were super solid, sauces are great, good shit all around.

One of the best fried chicken sandwiches in Chicago. Have it with egg on a biscuit ???

Tried this place for the first time yesterday and unfortunately we were disappointed. The chicken we ordered tasted as of it was cooked in old grease. It did not taste well and obviously was not cooked with day of ingredients. Considering the prices here it is definitely is not worth a second try.

I found this gem quite by accident. The soul food style Menu is quite extensive and has a lot of Items and meals you don't see anymore. The food is delicious and taste like it came out of someone's grandmother's Southern kitchen. You really gotta check display out. The prices are very reasonable for what you get.
OMG, y’all. I wanted to give to 5 stars sooo bad, but my purse said NO. I paid $30 for what you see pictured. I could not say no to my taste buds. I really wanted one and everything but I settled for this. I swear I felt like I was back home and NC, and was the Carolina meal without some Cheerwine? Not nothing! So let’s get to it.Sunrise Chicken Sandwich: What’s the Carolina meal without some swine? NOTHING! lol. So I got this sandwich on the biscuit of course and I chose the original heat level and then I got a side of hot honey sauce and dipped the sandwich. (Yes, I’m a dipper.) Perfection. The chicken was crispy and juicy. Which was a total surprise to me because I do not like chicken breast because they’re usually dry but this one…juicy. I’m also a biscuit kind of store so I’m in love. I’m in love with the biscuit. They sell their biscuits frozen and you can bake them at home. I almost got it, but I would’ve been doing too much.Cheerwine: I know y’all are probably like what is this? Just imagine if Dr. Pepper and Cherry Coke had a baby. That’s the best way I can describe it.Mac & Cheese: I got the mac & cheese because I saw it was a popular item. It wasn’t my favorite. It was creamy mac & cheese but it seem to be a water down creamy mac & cheese. It wasn’t for me, but I did eat it and I did finish it. I ended up crumbling the bacon that fell off my chicken sandwich and putting it on top of the Mac.Peach Cobbler: I’ma be honest, when I saw this I was super excited because it looks exactly like the peach cobbler that my family and I make. And when I tell you, it tasted like it too. I’m in love. I’m literally in love and I’m so happy that somebody has brought this type of peach cobbler to Chicago. Usually you see the peach cobbler with the pie crust (which I appreciate), but this peach cobbler right here! This style of peach cobbler is my first love and I fell in love all over again.Another thing that I must mention is that the food traveled well. So I probably stay a good 10 to 15 minutes from this location. Surprisingly I did not eat in the car. I actually waited till I got home and everything was still a good temperature and delicious.
They claim to be the best fried chicken in Illinois, and I would agree, but to be fair it's the only fried chicken place I've had in the state. I'm pretty particular about fried chicken living in the south for so long and this did not disappoint. Something about the spices hit different, and the chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy. #thingsthatmakeyougimmm

Average chicken. Staff was friendly. Wouldn't add to my must visits but if you're in the area, and can't find anything else, it may scratch the itch for fried chicken.

Very very very good, the Nashville hot spice level I would say isn’t that hot so definitely try it. The hot honey sauce is great?. Will definitely be back to try the bowl.

This place sucks I promise. Do not go here. Food is actually very good but the food will take 1 hour no less. And they do not care they take 1 hour long.

Best damn chicken in the state, as they claim. Juicy, tender and flavorful. The hot sauce will burn, but it's still full of flavor.Best biscuits I've had, but it's the chicken I'll return

I think the food was amazing and the sweet tea was amazing as a southerner. Service was decent for a cold Saturday. But I understand any of these other reviews. (I also got the bread pudding to add onto that price average)

The Mac and cheese is EXCELLENT. Also the spicy stuff they have is legitimately spicy.
