“If you're a trucker stuck at one of the many yards waiting for your appointment time, and you don't have to worry about your diabetes or high blood pressure; go ahead and walk on down to Dave's Hot Chicken. If you do have to worry about it just take a walk.

I'll tell you, the fries and the Mac is pretty damn good. I went in when everything was freshly made, almost directly after opening. This was my first time trying it. Wonderful first impression. The slider was damn good too. Fried to perfection.... The young lady that served the orders also had excellent customer service. Y'all keep it up now.“

It’s always delivered fresh and warm and the chicken is amazing the seasonings are fantastic! And the names of the items to order are hilarious also the humor in me makes me laugh at them!“

“We’ve been here a few times and every time the food is awesome. Super easy and healthy dinner option when don’t want to cook. We love the whole jefe chicken and order with broccoli, Mac and cheese, and fries (the seasoning for the fries is awesome). Service is great and the music they play is always top tier. Love this spot“

“This is one of the best chicken sandwiches you can get in Chicago. The biscuits are exceptional. The service there is fantastic! I only have one issue and it's that have they never have the biscuit batter because it's always sold out. 🤷🏾‍♂. The price on the drinks are also incredibly reasonable for a Roscoe village restaurant. Definitely recommend!“

“some of the best chicken I have ever eaten love that season and a perch is off the chain I recommend you try best in the West“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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💯“

“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.“

“I had an awesome experience here! The people were super friendly, the food was great, the best Mexican food in the area. I would definitely recommend to family and friends or anyone in general. It's a lovely experience, and i do want to add that the decorations are beautiful. Really makes you feel safe and comfortable as you're enjoying your meal with some nice coffee.“

“Considering how busy the place is can't complain on the quality food tastes good and they even bring you the food. The only real complaint is that you have to ask for the sauces but I would imagine that's a mixed issue with cheapness / customer fault as well from people taking too much 🤷“

“Probamos el pollo a la brasa y estaba espectacular, jugoso y lleno de sabor. Además, el café de olla es simplemente exquisito, el mejor que he probado en mucho tiempo. El dueño es increíblemente servicial, siempre con una sonrisa y una actitud que te hace sentir como en casa. Definitivamente, un lugar al que volveré una y otra vez. Súper recomendado.“

“Muy rica la comida excelente servicio ! muy limpio, felicidades“

“Calab is awesome and very friendly. The food is way better in the morning and afternoon then evening. I wont go here for dinner. Many times items are made wrong if you change anything on them and the portion size is not consistent for the waffle fries.“

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

“Chicken hands down but they're gyro cheeseburgers is 🔥 too. They kind of fell off on the Italian beefs. They're chicken gizzards and catfish nuggets fried head is a hit too. Yet, they need to understand that everybody don't like lemon pepper. Put it on the side and let one decide if they want it.“

“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.“

“The service was fast and friendly The staff was very friendly The store was very clean“

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

“finna go check em out Likesomebody...“

“I used to eat from years ago, and I stop by today. food is still 🔥🔥🔥“

“Yo, I ain’t have the most faith when walking in around closing time but yall turned it around and made me a repeat customer. I got my food mad quick and they even threw in a free biscuit. Good vibes frfr and then they even let one of the homies from the block clean the outside. Respect. I’ll be back with my big back ahh.“

“A crew member named Sofia was very attentive, she came to my table to ask kindly if we needed anything like a refill, napkins or anything else. She had a huge smile while giving us our order. She’s the sweetest, please don’t be mean to her.🩵“

“Really cool spot I like it better than Harolds chicken. There was a woman in there that was really helpful and kind. I ask for her name I believe she told me Monique. Thank you!! For all your help. A lot of times we talk about the bad and never talk about the good.“

“hot fresh all the time they never let me down“

“The older cashier who works in the mornings is outstanding!! She is exactly what this location needs! She is professional and kind to her customers!! The food has been consistently good but she is the face behind this location and one of the reasons I frequent this location. Kudos to her!“

“Had some breaded fish and fries today and it was perfectly cooked, just the right crispness I like. Thank you for the delicious food!!!“
