Chicken Shops near Crystal Lake, IL

“The cashier was smiley and friendly. Received our order pretty quickly, too. The reasons I didn't rate 5 stars is because the toast was barely toasted and a bit soggy, and the chicken tenders seemed very small for the price. Not to mention, half of the breading came off of one of my tiny tenders. Overall the flavor was decent. The Canes sauce is the only reason for the 4th star. Had a much better experience the time before. I'll have to give it another shot a different time.“

“Always a great experience at the Crystal Lake CFA! Recently placed a catering order - everything was delicious, hot, ready on time and, as always, the staff were wonderful!“

“After a rough couple of weeks, I really needed a win — and Sticky Fingers in Algonquin delivered in a big way. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine Southern hospitality.

We ordered fried shrimp, wings, and fries, and I’m not exaggerating when I say I’ve never seen shrimp or wings this big. The homemade breading was golden perfection — light, crisp, and some of the best I can remember. The sauces were spot-on, adding just the right kick, and the fries nailed that magic balance: crispy outside, fluffy inside.

The little touches here really add to the charm. A bucket of lollipops and a bottle of Frank’s Hot Sauce sit on every table, and the décor gives the whole place a playful, welcoming vibe. Their canned soda selection is a nostalgic throwback — every flavor I loved as a kid — and the staff was so attentive and warm. Big smiles! They truly care about your experience.

Prices are very reasonable, and the daily specials make it even better (Lobster Sundays, anyone?). I even overheard other diners promising to return — and same here. I told the staff to get to know my face, because I’ll be back often!

Four more words: — Banana pudding. Caramel cake. 😮“

“I really love their crispy chicken! Friendly staff.“

“I just got Dave’s from the drive-thru. I can’t express how much I absolutely adored Morgan who was taking my order and was as sweet as can be! She’s such a hard worker for a young girl. I wish there were more people like her not only in the service industry, but also I wish there were more people like her in this world. Dave’s, if you have an employee of the month, a plaque of some kind, a raise, or a scholarship, Morgan deserves that and more! I work in the service industry myself and it’s not easy, you definitely come across people who are hard to get along with. Even though most of the time people are trying their best. If anyone ever has something negative to say about this store or Morgan, it will be the guests' who is in the wrong, not Morgan’s! I can’t wait to come back and hopefully see her again the next time I order here!“

“this place is amazing! food & milk tea is perfect you can tell they’ve put a lot of effort & care into their business the gentleman who helped me & my boyfriend was working alone it was very busy & he was so kind & quick paced absolutely love this place!“

“super rico y muy buena atencion recomendable“

“We love our Algonquin Chick-fil-A! Everyone is so pleasant. We always get greeted with such a warm welcome and with a smile.“

“I haven't been here in a while but was really craving some chicken. I did a mobile order through the app, which has changed since the last time. Everything was relatively easy, including earning some rewards. I really like the way they remodeled the inside. Everything was ready on time and accurate.“

“Ok, the menu is limited to mains of chicken tenders and chicken tender sandwiches. But the chicken is moist, and the breading is seasoned well. For me, the stars of the show are the Texas toast and the Cane's sauce. The sauce has a bit of a kick and is savory, and I dip everything in it. Cane's has become one of my favorite fast food joints.“
