    “At Chicken Salad Chick, a legend arose, A shining star wherever she goes. Her name is Maggie Garvy, remember it well, For her customer service is simply unmatched, you can tell. I walked through the doors, just another day, Not knowing my life would change along the way. But Maggie appeared with a smile so bright, And suddenly everything felt just right. The chicken salad was good, that's true, But Maggie's service was something brand new. She brought more than food, she brought inspiration, A customer service experience worthy of celebration. No five-star review could ever explain, The joy that Maggie brought to my brain. The world may be chaotic, the future unclear, But Maggie Garvy makes everything better here. So here's to Maggie, a Chick-fil-Aβ€” Wait, no, Chicken Salad Chickβ€”legend of the day! May her greatness forever be known, For she changed my life with a customer service tone”

This has been a real treat for me to eat for over 50 years now. Nothing better than a bag of hot fritters for the long drive home. The Downers Grove Take Out restaurant has a bit of nostalgic equipment, but if they sold merch as well, they might do even better business.”

    “looks as tho everything is done in house. the fries are fresh cut potatoes. the patties are hand made. the chicken is I think the best fried chicken I've ever had. texture of the frying and pinch of lemon pepper balances extremely well. prices are dirt cheap. if this exact item was at a downtown gastro pub it be selling for $12.99 which people would gladly pay and it be famous like Au Cheval with a line and not the $2.99 I paid. a lot of care of actual not taking shortcuts goes into the food preparation. I even saw the guy put on a brand new pair of vinyl gloves to prepare and cook the food. they are moving locations next week glad I came across them while here on business. I'm super critical and knitpicky and rarely think a good item is something pretty amazing even their house hotsauce very vinegary and balanced. Former chef. I even criticize my own failed attempts at perfection that others think are amazing. He could probably beat Bobby Flay but that doesn't seem to be an exclusive accomplishment anymore Lol.. go try this places chicken. not expensive nothing to lose well worth it.”
