“Had such a great experience at Port of Peri Peri! The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor, but what really made our visit special was the service. Dazlin was amazing—she was so helpful, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. She really went above and beyond for us. Definitely coming back again!“

“Being from the suburbs traveling downtown can be an experience. This particular experience made our day. Moving our daughter into DePaul we came upon the owner of Red Light chicken who gave us a few pointers in parking near his establishment, after taking the time to help us find a spot he happily welcomed us with a free chicken sandwich which I’m happy to report was delicious. It was nice meeting you tonight and I’ll be certainly stopping by again - Fries are a game changer to!!!“

I also love that Dave’s isn’t stingy with their special sauce, setting them apart from so many others. I really hope they keep innovating with fun items like corndogs,keep up the great work!“

“what a great restaurant. the food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. it was a great way to end our day in Chicago“

“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.“

“I finally tried CM after years of walking by it and it was fantastic. I walked in and ordered the Curry Chicken to go. Took about 10 minutes and I sat down at the bar for a beer while I waited. Service was great and will definitely be going back.“

“We were looking for a late night bite to eat while visiting Chicago and Serena’s was the spot! Service was friendly and food was delicious! Highly recommend. Will definitely be back for our next visit.“

“Honestly one of the best fried chicken spots in Niles! The chicken was super crispy from the outside and juicy inside 🔥 The seasoning is on point and the fries are fresh and well-seasoned.

The place is clean, service is fast, and the staff are friendly. Perfect spot if you’re craving comfort food or a quick bite.

Definitely coming back again and highly recommended! 👍🍗🍟“

“I've been wanting pancakes for the past month and finally went for some this morning. The pancakes were PHENOMENAL! My pancake jonesing was fulfilled by a more delicious pancake than I imagined was possible. They were huge and I could only eat one 🤤 The other reheated perfectly in the microwave - the texture was interior, but the taste was still fantastic. I've been before, but got other things. At this point, I can confidently recommend the breakfast sandwich, beignets, and pancakes. Oh, and get yourself an orange pop for breakfast... Be bad, treat yourself!“

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

“Chicken is very delicious“

“I just wanna say their bento boxes are sooo good. Like whoever making them back there putting their all into it cause it’s so good and perfect. They are also well accommodating to request. Everything taste so fresh. Staff is also really nice and attentive!!!“

“Alright now… let me tell y’all about Dave’s Hot Chicken the way it deserves to be told…

Baby, them chicken sliders? Lord have mercy.
Crispy, juicy, got that sauce drippin’ like it got somewhere important to be, and that little slaw sittin’ on top actin’ like it’s healthy or somethin’. I keep goin’ back like I owe them money.

Now I’m not new to spice, alright? I can handle heat. I looked that Reaper level dead in the eye like, “Do your worst.”
…and it did.

Ate it just fine. No tears. No shame. Felt like a champion.
Few hours later? My stomach said, “Oh, we fightin’ tonight.”
So just know… you might win the battle, but your insides gonna file a complaint later.

Now let’s talk about this situation they had the nerve to call:
“Large Top-Loaded Spicy Buffalo Mac.”

Let me tell you what I THOUGHT I was gettin’:
A big ol’ tray of creamy mac & cheese, chicken piled on top, cheesy, gooey, worth every penny.

What I GOT was…
a mountain of fries…
with a light dustin’ of mac & cheese like somebody sneezed cheddar in the general direction.

$15.99 for fries in a mac & cheese costume.
I felt lied to. Betrayed. Misled. Hoodwinked, even.

But look… I ain’t gonna stay mad.
Because them sliders? They got me in a toxic relationship I ain’t tryin’ to leave.

And when it comes to catering? Oh they SHOW UP.
Order them boxes for the staff and suddenly everybody actin’ like you Employee of the Year. Morale goes up, complaints go down — it’s basically HR-approved happiness.

Final verdict:
Go for the sliders. Respect the spice.
And don’t let that “top-loaded mac” fool you unless you in the mood for fries wearin’ a disguise.

No stars for atmosphere, i always get it to go.“

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

“A tad obsessed!! My son loves guava smoothie, I love the coffee boba and street food. It’s hard to resist the fryer faves with the cold smoothie. My husband loves the iced tea, which like all the drinks, you can order with varying levels of sugar, or no sugar at all.“

“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“

“Hands down punching the family and not just smacking your mama good chicken tenders that are juicy. Second, highly recommend the fantastic crinkle fries and Texas butter toast. Lastly, the sauces are out of this world 🌎 🌍“

“Definitely lived up to the hype.“

“Ordered Chicken Thigh Skewers and had a coupon for additional menu item free. Chose 12 wings. Got home opened bag and had 18 wings, no skewers.“

“Chicken was on point! Had the Chili buffalo chicken sandwich and Nashville hot wings. Definitely recommend“

“Best hot chicken in Chicago“

“Excellent food! Excellent service! DON’T MISS THIS PLACE WHEN YOU’RE IN CHICAGO!“

“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!“

“This place is amazing. Best food & best service around. We we in town for 9 nights and got dinner here 2 of the 9 evenings. You can't beat the service. You can just show up and order take out and they have your order packed and ready to go in minutes. Highly recommend this place.“

“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.“

“Went there for the first time. The staff was very welcoming and helpful after they realized it was our first time. The food was fresh and delicious. We got chicken sandwiches, fries, and mac. We don't live in the area but when we come by we'll definitely stop by again for some food.“

“Wonderful to work with Jay to support BMS girls lacrosse. Donated 40 tacos for pre-game meal!“

“The chicken bowls are amazing and a good value. Most of our party were able to take leftovers for the next day. The sauce choices are incredibly flavorful, you can't go wrong. Personally I liked the mild spice, lemon pepper chicken thighs. The server was very helpful and courteous. Overall, a great choice for a meal while in Chicago.“

“Edit: I was able to call the restaurant about 9 days later. They opened late the day I ordered online, but the online system did not have the updated hours. I was able to get the refund from the restaurant. (Be aware that the restaurant does not always pick up the phone… might be better to visit them in person if you want to ask them a question.)

Ordered online on Thursday around 4pm. Restaurant was closed, and no one picked up the phone. Same thing today (Friday) at 2:30pm. I will be calling my credit card company to cancel the transaction.“

“Sweet & Spicy Chicken Wrap, with mango & Lime sauce. Side order of Honey Sweet Potatoes.“

“Always a good time at this place“

“Got the green onion chicken tenders. They were delicious. Also got the smashed pear drink. It was also great“

“I didn’t dine, but it was decent sized space. The host was very receptive as soon I walked in to pick my order. Very great service from initial experience. 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.“

“Their chicken is super excellent really light and fluffy. Their menu is exceptionally limited however there’s literally only a handful of things, chicken fingers and chicken sandwich sandwiches, and only one option of a sauce. The sauce is really good, but they should have another option like maybe honey mustard there sauce taste a little bit like thousand island dressing or maybe Russian dressing. The business is exceptionally popular with young people because the business is really good at social media marketing. Also, the business seems to be really good at getting popular sports figures to be in their commercial which does help them a lot. The indoor atmosphere is a little bit quirky, a little bit cool and I like it. Their fries are adequate nothing special to say the least if they could, if I would recommend they improve anything to go further they definitely need to improve their fries but again their check-in to fingers is five stars. I don’t know how many times a year I could eat year because the menu is so very very limited.“

“I stopped by Byrd’s Hot Chicken and it definitely delivers on the heat. The space is casual and no-frills, the kind of place you go when you’re craving something bold and messy in the best way.

The Nashville-style hot chicken sandwich was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The spice level actually means something here — even the medium has a solid kick, but it’s balanced with just enough sweetness and tang. The fries were perfectly crispy and held up well next to the saucy chicken.

Service was quick and straightforward, which fits the vibe. Overall, Byrd’s Hot Chicken is a solid go-to when you want comfort food with real heat and big flavor, no fuss, just good spicy chicken done right.“

“First time the food was very flavorful and reasonably priced. Waiter was very helpful in explaining foods and dishes to try.“

“Stopped by Hot N' Spicy Chicago on Devon Ave for a late-night bite and was impressed. Grabbed the Chicken Chutney Roll—tender chicken wrapped in a soft paratha with a tangy chutney kick. Also tried the Masala Fries, which were crispy and packed with flavor. The staff was friendly, and the place had a cozy vibe. If you're in the area and craving a flavorful halal meal, this spot is worth checking out. Definitely coming back to try more of their menu.“

“Frosted drinks now come with slushy plain ice instead of chick fil-a ice cream. I can tell the amount of ice cream has been reduced dramatically. The price stays as firm as before though. For example: frosted coffee was signature ice cream and coffee blend. Now it is coffee and slushie ice, maybe a little bit ice cream. Cost saving initiatives?“

“IT'S CHICK-FIL-A!!!!!!!!!“

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