This was the first time at this location!! I have been to the Avondale location before and I am very excited that the burbs get to experience this place! Upon arrival we were greeted during a busy lunch time! The food here is always delicious! I decided to go away from my normal order and get the spicy chicken tendies and they did not disappoint!

Dined here for the first time ever! I would definitely recommend and return to this location! I had been dying to try HBFC ever since they first opened up in the city about a decade or so ago, but didn't feel like making the schlep to the city and having to deal with parking and getting carjacked and killed! So, having the Glencoe location open up is a God-send! I ordered 4 pieces of dark meat chicken (which came with 4 cute, tiny corn muffins and a container of honey butter). I also had the pimento dipping sauce, plus 2 sides (Kale & Cabbage Slaw and Roasted Garlic Grits), and sweet tea! My whole order came out to $46 (includes tax). Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, hearty and overall, amazingly DELICIOUS!!! I also loved the restaurant's open, airy and casual/relaxed ambiance! They also played cool music overhead. The employee who took my order (Nolan) was very cool --professional, knowledgeable, helpful, patient and friendly! In addition , the restaurant is very clean (including the washrooms)! The other cool thing about this place is that they serve alcohol and have happy hour specials! The North Shore is very lucky to have this new awesome restaurant!!!!!

Did a carryout ordered the chicken with biscuits. Both were extremely dry. Very over priced, would not purchase again. They do not accept cash.

This was my first time trying HBFC in Glencoe. I’ve been a huge fan for years of the food and location in Avondale.The space itself is light and bright with cool art on the walls and a clean, elevated, and playful ambience. My husband and I sat in the back and were delighted to see a mixture of other couples on dates, groups of friends, and family gatherings where children were playing with magnetic letters on a big board. The thoughtfully designed space offers something for everyone.The staff were friendly and helpful in offering suggestions and discussing specials. They seemed to take pride in their work and genuinely want to create a positive experience for guests.We ordered a basket of tenders, corn muffins, mac & cheese, a beer and a cocktail (I don’t remember which one but I remember it was exactly what I was hoping for), and a slice of Bang Bang Pie.The breading, seasoning, and tenderness of the tenders was particularly delicious. I think a chef’s kiss or that look of giving an enthusiastic thumbs up when a staff member asks how it is and you have a bite in your mouth and can only offer happy, satisfied gestures is how I would describe it.Will definitely be back. ?

Delicious food. I had the ramen noodle fried chicken in pimento sauce, which was only offered for a limited time but was really good, I told anyone who was listening they should add it to the permanent menu. But everything we ordered was great, except for the side of mac and cheese, which was a bit dry and not too tasty. Service was great, starting with them asking us if we'd been there before - we hadn't but our daughter had. The restaurant has a nice casual vibe. The price is a little high for a quasi-fast food place, but they do not accommodate tips and are dedicated to the community, so all is well. We will make part of our restaurant rotation!

Our first time to the Glencoe location. We are familiar with the original location. First - super kid friendly. My kids loved the chicken strips meals. They had a magnet board that my kids loved while we waited for our food. I ordered the two piece chicken meal. The chicken was great! My husband reflected that it seemed dark but it was perfect in flavor and texture. We also tried the pimento cheese fries and had a pack of the corn muffins. Because my daughter is a big waffle fan we also got the waffle (no chicken). The combination of honey butter and maple syrup was great. They only have this option for brunch but it is a must try especially if you love waffles. In summary, this was perfect for kids and the food was great!

Really love honey butter fried chicken. Something so satisfying about eating a whole chicken and not having to worry about bones (beside the leg, and no wings apparently) that's not in strip form. Great seasoning and love that honey butter. Went to the one in Avondale a few times but have not had the chance to eat in at this location. So thrilled that the north suburbs have a location in Glencoe. This place is pricey. Their mashed potatoes are great but there is so little gravy, and that really shows when ordering a large size. They sell sauces on the side but they can be pricey too. Put less salt on those fries please. The corn bread are great. They look like they have a great breakfast menu, would love to try it some time.

Ordered 8 pc chicken dinner for takeout - white meat super dry with no flavor. Color was dark brown and not golden for sure. Fries were crispy all the way thru, looked like they have been put thru a panini press.

Great food! My wife really enjoyed the waffles and service. The chicken was very good as well. Mashed potatoes was just okay.

Great food and a nice atmosphere. Chicken strips with ghost honey were my favorite. Definitely will be back!

A welcome addition to Glencoe. Great food, service, and atmosphere. Loved them in the city and so excited they moved with me to the burbs. Very kid friendly. Excited for the patio to open up this summer.

Very UNDERWHELMED. 1st chicken tender basket returned because they were cold. Not much of a value here. Chicken sandwich with honey butter was just ok. Nothing special. Chicken tenders as I said were cold. 2 nd batch were hot but greasy Corn muffins were good but 5 small muffins for $8.00... not worth it. Good luck guys. Need to do better

My wife & I wanted to try this new place. The menu was small. Our chicken sandwich was small & very expensive. If you've ever been to Hattie B's in Nashville, well it's more affordable and three times the size sandwich. We did love the French Fries and they were good. No value & just ok. Glencoe is charming & it was nice to try but not as good as Clucker's in Highwood.

Incredible meal and such friendly staff! We shared Kale Salad with Charboiled Chicken, Chicken Strips with Honey Buffalo Sauce, and Pimento Mac & Cheese. All the food was delicious - I especially appreciated such the fresh and tasty salad option. Will come back again and again!
