Chicken Restaurants near Downers Grove

“I go out of my way to come to this location whenever I'm traveling through the Chicago area. I especially enjoyed the corn fritters and their coleslaw, made with a vinegar base. I have been eating at White Fence Farm for over fifty years and I don't miss it when I have an opportunity to stop for an excellent meal!“

“Really good chicken tonight, everyone is always friendly there.just wish I would have gotten my biscuits. Tried calling (several times) but no one answered. Mac and cheese was too soupy. Edit****manager called to let me know that they are going to make sure I get my biscuits and they have also noticed the Mac and cheese issue. Very happy with her timely response �“

“Lots of food for the money. Staff looked shorthanded but we’re doing an amazing job. Felt comfortable to eat alone in public. Ever since they opened I’ve never experienced a wrong order. Friendly staff. High school kids go there all the time at night and are welcome. Safe place to be..and very respectful.“

“I had an awesome experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken thanks to Dominick! From the moment I walked in, he was friendly, welcoming, and clearly cared about making sure every customer had a great visit. He helped me pick the perfect spice level and made sure my order came out just right. The food was amazing as always, but Dominick’s positive attitude and great customer service really stood out.“

“Definitely lived up to the hype.“

“The food this past Friday was amazing. The potato and the lobster could have been warmer but still excellent. Our server, Juanita, went above and beyond to serve all the tables in her section as well as stopping by to check that everyone was taken care of.“

“Chicken and fritters never disappoint! Outstanding service….they know how to get you in and out!!“

“wonderful food and affordable and tasty“

“Definitely lived up to the hype.“

“Tried Hangry Joe’s in Glendale Heights for takeout and everything was delicious. We ordered the Sando burger, chicken fingers, wings, loaded mac & cheese, and fries, medium spicy across the board. The spice level was perfect with unique, flavorful seasoning. The chicken was big, juicy, and cooked perfectly. Kids loved the mac & cheese, fingers, wings, and fries. We went around 3 PM, enjoyed great hospitality, a nice ambience, and even caught a cricket match on their huge screen. Plenty of parking and a great location. With so many fast-food options nearby, Hangry Joe’s really stands out. Will definitely be back, next time going spicier on the Sando! 🌶️🍔“

“It’s becoming a guilty pleasure of mine to stop by Fry the Coop on the way back from a long shift and using that as an excuse to eat out. I love their Tender Plate. The chicken is well spiced and flavorful, and the fries are well seasoned. It checks every box in my list to a good meal!
Be warned that their spicy levels should be taken seriously. If you can’t take the heat. Keep it medium at max.“

“I’ve been wanting to come here since Niall Horan (ex-one direction) said this was his favorite restaurant! Very delicious!“

“Thank you Ursula for all you do!“

“Had an awesome experience here and definitely coming back.

Everything is fresh and cooked to order, which you can really taste. The chicken came out hot, juicy, and perfectly grilled with that nice char flavor you want from peri-peri. Nothing felt pre-made or sitting around — they clearly make it when you order.

The service was fast and super friendly too. Staff was welcoming, helpful with recommendations, and kept things moving quickly even during busy time.

The real stars though are the sauces:
• 🌶️ Medium spicy peri-peri sauce – perfect heat level with tons of flavor
• 🧄 Garlic sauce – creamy, rich, and absolutely addictive

Get both on the side — trust me, you’ll want extra for dipping everything.

Overall: great food, quick service, and amazing flavor. Highly recommend if you’re craving fresh, flavorful grilled chicken done right.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Brandon provided absolutely amazing customer service! I loved how he smiled and approached me and my family with such a positive and friendly attitude. He made us feel truly welcomed. The Willowbrook Chick-fil-A location is definitely a number one spot for me — we’ll be coming back again for sure!“

“I live in Los Angeles and was in Chicago area for a job. I ordered grilled chicken philly for lunch and it pretty good, ive traveled the country as a Truck driver and have to say this is a top 3 chicken philly in my opinion... highly recommend this place!“

“Pretty good for fast food and I prefer their breakfast over their lunch and dinner. I always get the 4 count Chick-n-Minis meal and order an extra 4 count. It’s expensive for a fast food breakfast. Wish they had an option for 4 or 8 count, it would probably make it a little more affordable. I would stop here for breakfast more often but $15.55 is expensive, considering it’s only fast food.

I could get a lot more food for the same price at a sit down breakfast restaurant but I guess that’s what you pay for convenience. I just need to give myself more time and not pay extra for fast and convenient.“

“This place is an absolute Hit! If you love Chicken and traditional Eastern European/Balkan food this place is the place to be!“

“Great experience and the food was awesome.“

“Awesomely peachy shakes yum“

“Great crispy chicken mushrooms and fritters ..not greasy friendly service and attentive managers ordered food for parties and smaller amounts always great“

“Very Exciting News!!!

For the last several years when my daughter and I have gone to visit our family in Georgia they introduced us to this cute little restaurant called Chicken Salad Chick. After the 1st time it quickly became a favorite of ours, so every time we visit our family they know that we will be going to Chicken Salad Chick at least 2-3 times each visit.

Prior to 2021 we never even knew such a place existed.
It’s such a great meal, very light & flavorful, you just can’t go wrong with anything.

My daughter and I live in IL, so I have been checking the website to see if there was any chance that they would be opening any in our area.
I did find a few in Illinois, but they were all pretty far south from where I live, outside of Chicago.

The other day I happened to check the website again & I was thrilled to see that one recently opened in Glen Ellyn, IL.

I contacted my daughter immediately and we went the next day.
Not only was everything delicious as usual, but we had an overall wonderful experience.
The store was exceptionally clean.
Sonia, the general manager on staff, was very kind and welcoming.
The entire staff that was working there were all very friendly.
We love the menu, but the Grape Salad is our absolute favorite 💕

Glen Ellyn is still about a 40-minute drive for us if the traffic cooperates, but absolutely worth it.

The only thing I would love to see is a location open closer to the Schaumburg area!

Thank you to the franchise owners for taking a chance and opening up a couple in IL, we wish you much success and continued growth and expansion.
For anyone that has not been to a Chicken Salad Chick Restaurant, I would highly recommend.
Each chicken salad is so flavorful, they also have unique sides & yummy desserts.
Many gluten free options as well.
I wish I could give more than 5 stars

“Amazingly good chicken strips. A simple lunch special of 3 strips, a side and a Grape Crush. Freshly made, hot, and tasted like chicken. The breading was unobtrusive, letting the chicken do the talking. Mashed potatoes were good, the gravy wasn't salty as some chicken joints are. Biscuit rocked. Plus a gambling area and beer. If they are consistently like this, it's a sure winner.“

“Grabbed this to go on a whim and really enjoyed what I had. Ordered medium and it was a good spice level, but if you are sensative to spice, I would opt for the mild as it was hotter than I expected. Their portions are great for the price too. Was worried when I saw waffel fries because you usually only get a handful, but their bag was loaded. Will be coming back for sure.“

“delicious food warm environment“

“The cook was on point and the man who took our order was super polite Thank you loved it.“

“This little Browns Chicken has the Best people running it. Great customer service is what makes it Special. We drive across town just because of the way we are treated thru the drive through. The Chicken is crispy and fresh and golden brown. There ranch taste homemade. The lady at the window or man are always so nice it's our go to Chicken hut.“

“The chicken tenders were a good size, the breading was yummy and crunchy, and the chicken was juicy. The honey biscuits were good too. We got plenty of food for the price. For three people we got enough for two meals for a total of $50. The people working there were very nice and the food was ready when I got there to pick it up. Easy to order online.“

“I've gone here many times for food after work and stuff, and every time I come the service is constant, the food is always consistent and the atmosphere is ok I guess it's a fast food restaurant after all. But overall it's a decent place.“

“Tried wick’s chicken for first time today. The chicken is fried to perfection with a light breading that stayed crispy even with the commute back to work. The wick’s ghost sauce has a good heat and flavor. Will be back.“

“We moved back from Texas after 7 years of being away. It's great to have this available here. All three of my kids can unanimously agree to go here. The food is alway fresh and delicious and the service is just as welcoming as it is in Texas.“

“Great service was there for a blood drive wished they would have feed the donors“

“BB.Q has some of the crispiest, crunchiest, juiciest chicken I've had. Top notch. Dine in when you can for a fresher experience, but carry out isn't a bad option either. Incredible that they can slather these things in sauce and they are still crispy and delicious.“
