The food was delicious especially the fried chicken. The Rose Deokkbokki was really great as well. The Kimchi Fried rice hit the spot for sure. Very genuine Korean tasting food.“

“Alex was a gem! My grandson had been wanting to try this place and we stopped by on his 11th Birthday at the Melrose Park IL location.

“Salute indeed this place has great food and friendly service and they take good care of our Veterans at our homeless shelter for Veterans.. Thank You.“

“Chicken and rice was delicious. Ordered “mild” and it was spicy, so no need to go spicier than that really, unless you like heat. Took a little while for the food to arrive. Patience required. It’s not fast food, more sit down. Robot brings out the food which is fun. Nice people.“

“Best chicken sandwich I ever had! The chicken soup was also amazing!“

“Food is always phenomenal. Staff are super nice. I haven’t tried anything that I didn’t like. The portions are too big for one person which is not a bad thing. Always got leftovers. I find myself craving this place at least once a week lol“

“Muchas Gracias 🙏 a todo el Equipo de Apollo Campero especialmente a sus directivos y asociados muy lindo el cambio de colores y además ya hay salsa de México 🇲🇽 y muy pronto 🔜 prometieron el cambio de sus tortillas para mejorar muchas cosas buenas y su sabor único míl Gracias a su equipo de trabajo de parte de DeliaMar Mega Shop y Floreria DeliaMar les esperamos en Indiana nueva sucursal soon.“

“We used to go to their old location all the time when we lived in the city, so we were excited to check out the new location now that we have kids—and it did not disappoint!

The fried chicken and biscuits were delicious, and the portions were huge. The kids’ play area with books, trucks, Connect 4 and more was an awesome surprise, plus the kids got fun crazy straws! It’s genuinely kid-friendly without sacrificing great food.

And the $2 beers with a meal were an unexpectedly awesome deal. Great food, great prices, and a perfect family spot. We’ll definitely be back! 🍗🍺“

“Great regular and Spicy fried chicken, plus I love that they serve gravy to dip your chicken in“

“Amazing salads and even more amazing people!“

“I have seen these place at my fyp i decide to come in 10 mins waiting for a 12 sandwich is a bit crazy
I try it nice heat but not hot for a 10 kind I was expecting hotter
I appreciate the 30 napkins place I. The bag
I like the atmosphere and kitchen was undercontrol but no hospitality as my POV“

“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!“

“Awesome food here good service and very friendly staff makes you feel welcomed more than any other fast food place“

“Henri is so happy with the customer service at #cfamelrosepark #chickfila!! his parents accidentally used my birthday reward and the assistant director gave them three new rewards to make up for it! can't wait to dress up henri for cow appreciation day! #rebeccallawrence thank you!“

“Its great place for chicken sandwiches and fries. I had the spicy delux chicken with Mac and Cheese and fries. The Mac and cheese was a bit cold and tasted like KFC Mac and cheese. The fries were crispy and hot, A+. The sandwich had a nice crispness to it, and had nice flavor, it's not spicy for me at all, but still could for some who can't have spicy. The sandwich wasn't soggy either, like other chicken sandwiches, where the breading feels cold or soggy. This one felt fresh and crisp. Will go back soon to try their other options like the fried chicken, and maybe even their spaghetti to try out.“

“Really enjoyed the chicken here! The soy garlic and snow onion chicken were both tender on the inside and perfectly crispy on the outside. The flavors were delicious without being overwhelming. The tteokbokki was also perfect. The spice level had just the right amount of kick. Service was also speedy and awesome.“

“Truly an awesome surprise, decided to order on a whim and found the best chicken tenders I've ever had in my life, not exaggerating. Really happy I happen to live close to here. The two owners are very nice and friendly. Do yourself a favor and try Ciao Chow“

“Came here on a Saturday afternoon. Not so busy at 5pm but as soon as our food was served many people came for their takeouts. This is a store with more than 35 year old history. They established their reputation with very solid presentation of food. Chicken was crispy but not oily. Drums, wings, and thighs are all great. Fries too. They made fries using the same oil to fry the chicken I believe. They also offer multiple choices of fried fish but they came a bit oily.
They also have options for vegetarians! Their Greek salad was so fresh! I asked to remove the cheese and put the sauce on the side and they were able to accommodate it. The cucumbers were sweet and bell peppers were crispy.
Highly recommended.“

“Kiki's fries with chicken and mango habanero sauce. amazing 😍“

“GREAT STAFF SERVICE THE FOOD WAS WELL COOK VERY CLEAN IT WAS MY FIRST TIME THERE ITS A COZY PLACE“

“I ordered the chicken tip & wing combo and the Jerk chicken egg rolls 😋 everything was a hit!! 🔥 sauce is delicious can't wait to try something else from the menu💯“

“Fresh out the grease, hot and ready“

“Tacos tacos and more tacos. Very good tacos! Highly recommended.“

“I went for the first time and it blew me away. It was quiet at this time and we were the first orders of the day, but the food came fairly quickly. I ordered the Byrd bomb and it was a very generous portion as I had hoped. The sauce is amazing, and the chicken is flavorful and cooked to perfection. The fries are amazing with the seasoning, and the toast was warm and buttery. Extremely satisfied overall, will come back again!“

“Hot fast and fresh! Get the wings fried hard, salt and pepper and mild sauce.“

“Thank you for all of your services. Good food“

“Such a great place! The chicken was absolutely delicious**—fresh, juicy, and packed with flavor. I love their hamburgers, which was one of the best I’ve had!** The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.

Everything tasted fresh and satisfying, and the portions were great. Definitely a place worth trying. I’ll definitely be coming back! 🍔🍗“

“I had mixed feelings about my visit to Port of Peri Peri. The food was honestly excellent and full of flavor, so I have no complaints about the quality of the meal itself.

However, the customer service really let the experience down. The staff didn't seem friendly or welcoming, and when I asked questions, they either didn't respond properly or didn't seem interested in helping. The dining area also looked like it needed more attention—several tables were greasy and didn't appear to be cleaned promptly, which made eating in feel a bit unhygienic.

If you're planning to try this place, I'd recommend ordering takeout instead of dining in. The food is definitely worth trying, but I think the overall dine-in experience and cleanliness could use significant improvement.This keeps the review balanced by praising the food while clearly describing the issues you experienced.“

“Food was great. Always is! The main issue is the cleanliness of the dining area and lack of aesthetic appeal. You guys make a killing. Invest in your diner and get your workers more help. They do as much as they can! Great crew! Paint your walls. Decorate the store. Get better seats. Scared more don’t make no $.“

“Great place for grilled chicken . The side dishes are also good. Friendly staff always on point;)“

“I order Daves Hot Chicken ALL the time.. Always get door dash and the order is always 💯. Today I went and ordered carry out, and I haven’t done that since they first opened, as well as when it was my first time.
I never write reviews but I had to make it known;
Jose took my order & it was a BIG order, with a couple precise requests…not only was he quick but was very patient with me! He made sure everything was all correct and on point! Super appreciative of that because its rare now adays getting customer service that goes above & beyond.
So this employee was definitely an absolute rockstar!. Overall experience was 10/10; as well as the food of course!💯‼️“

“Best waffle fries AND Market Salads with Apple Cider vinegarette dressing are a lovely combo!!! Great service and very well run with a strong management team.“

“Stopped by Chick-fil-A in the Irving Park/Addison area while passing through Chicago. Like most Chick-fil-A locations, the food itself was good and consistent — the chicken sandwich was fresh, crispy, juicy, and exactly what you expect from the brand. The waffle fries were hot and well seasoned, and the service moved relatively quickly despite the restaurant being quite busy. Staff were polite and professional, which is something Chick-fil-A usually does better than most fast-food chains.

That said, the experience was disappointing overall because the bathroom was closed during our visit. When you’re traveling, especially with kids and family, access to a restroom is not a small issue — it becomes part of the overall customer experience. After driving around the city and stopping specifically to eat and take a break, finding out the washroom was unavailable was frustrating and inconvenient. There didn’t seem to be much communication around it either, which made it even more disappointing.

The restaurant itself appeared fairly clean and organized, and you could tell the staff were trying to keep up with the flow of customers. But for such a high-traffic location, basic amenities really matter. It changes how comfortable and welcoming the experience feels, especially for families, travelers, or anyone stopping in during a long day.

I’ll still say the food quality and customer service were better than many other fast-food places, which is why I’m not giving it a lower rating. But the closed restroom definitely impacted the visit enough to bring the overall experience down.

Overall: good food, decent service, but the lack of restroom access made the stop far less convenient than it should have been.“

“If you're looking for the best chicken in Logan Square, Chez Poulet is an absolute must-visit!
​We tried a bit of everything, but three items completely stole the show:
​The Chicken: Incredibly juicy, perfectly seasoned, and full of rich flavor in every single bite. Easily some of the top-tier chicken in Chicag
Mindys Bread: Absolutely phenomenal! Fresh, chicken flavor, and the perfect pairing to round out the meal.
​The Mac & Cheese: Hands down delicious. Ultra-creamy, rich, pure comfort food, and one of the best side dishes you'll find in the neighborhood.
​Great food, fantastic flavor, and super satisfying portions. If you are anywhere near Logan Square and craving top-quality comfort food, do yourself a favor and check out Chez Poulet. We will definitely be back!“

“One of my favorite fast food restaurant 😋 They always cook my food the way I request.“

“I sent my friends to this place with my highest recommendations. I go their often. This recommendation is always successful. The dishes they serve are flavorable and the stuff is efficient and cooperative. Whenever we eat in this place we have a pleasant time. I warmly recommend this restaurant.“

“great customer service thanks again!“

“When visiting nearby friends,we order fish.With ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, this is a better j.j. fish in area(B-). North Ave&Laramie is too expensive (F). Madison & Central food is old, decrepit,dehydrated,constantly refried ,old food- taste like yesterday. Horrible.(F)Their cooks,are going to run them out of business.“

“1st time beign here after passing it every time for the past 10 years. You walk into a clean fresh bright joint greeted by the women. Menu on the tvs are clean. There is no dirty corner to me that screams alott about the place. So super props for that. Ordered a 2 item fish special. Perch & catfish and comes with fried and a slice of bread. Easy on lemon pepper. And double fried. It was a great experience. Food was delicious. I wasn’t expecting this place to be clean the way it was tho.“
