Chicago Chicken Coop - 3 pc Chicken Tenders - Chicken Wings Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Called in order and it was ready upon entry. Lady on phone was nice, attentive and able to repeat my exact order. Love the fact they ask if you want bread and/or slaw so that its not wasted! One of the few places I can get great perch fish. Ordered the 3 wing 3 perch dinner and it was plentiful. Chicken is always amazing. Inside was simple and seating area was clean. Plenty of parking. read more

I called in my order for 6 wings and large catfish nuggets. I was told 20 minutes. When I arrived the lady told me my order was coming right up. I didn't get my order for another 15 minutes. The fries were terrible. Looked and tasted like Aldi brand crinkle cut fries. The chicken tasted unseasoned and awful. The catfish was overcooked and barely edible. I will never return read more

Comparable to Popeyes fried chicken, but still juicier. Beware of ordering on DoorDash because the prices are about $4-5 more than ordering in person with the same wait time. read more

I visited the Chicago Chicken Coop a few weeks ago on a Saturday night, and it was about 5 customers so they were pretty busy. The store was clean and tidy. The customer service was average. Normally Fried Chicken restaurants have mean and rude cahiers that roll their eyes at you, but the cashiers here did seem to have some manners. The chicken was cooked fresh, seasoned well, and it was good! On the other hand, the Mild Sauce was watery and lacked flavor. It was a turn off. The fries were ample. The coleslaw side is very small. They offer specials on certain days. Checkout the pictures that I posted to see the flyer. read more

Really didn't read the reviews but if chicken is the topic can't see why this place don't have 5 stars chicken real good I'll try the fish and shrimp later read more

Best chicken wings and catfish in the world!!!! Every visit is the best! Never changes. The workers are polite and treat you very nice. I have recommended them to families & friends read more

Wow, so disappointed. It's a real deal breaker if I don't even get a friendly vibe from a place. I haven't been here in forever and I can sadly see why. It is definitely a family owned business and the amount of cursing and rudeness is apparent and it starts with the older ones on down. Just sad. No type of customer service skills. I really wish I could give it a good rating this time but they definitely left a sour taste in my mouth and my money could definitely go to other more professional establishments. read more

I hate paying for what for someone 'felt like doing', instead of what I requested :-( Out of the 8 times I've received food from Chicken Coop my order has been correct 15% of the time!!!!! There used to be a wait on food, because it was REALLY COOKED FRESH. However now they're able to get orders out fast because they RE-FRY the protein. Request my fries FRIED HARD every time, ALWAYS GET SOFT, HALF COOKED POTATOES. Two stars because order takers dont give attitude. (Though I had to literally, no exaggeration, repeat my order at least 5x one evening) If you dont like it why so many visits? Because my bf's son requests it, as a result of the recent Harolds Chicken Shacks closing down (83rd Ashland). New Management, Cook, Owner, whatever is necessary to PROVIDE BETTER PRODUCT/ FOOD! read more

Hey check the dates on the cakes. I just alerted the cashier that the German Chocolate Cake date needed to be check. She said I just put those in there they expire on Feb 14, 22. When I told her it expired on Jan 8, she mumbled something and went back to the phone. She told someone on the phone these people irritate me. This app. will not let my post the picture of the case of cakes. I waited for my food about another 6 minutes and She NEVER once even check the case to remove it. She handed me my slice of Yellow Cake and my food. Pray my Chicken, Shrimps and Cat Fish is fresh! I was not loud or nasty when I notified her about the German Chocolate Cake. The cashier with the Red knit head net on her head should be trained on how to deal with customers better. The one was for customer service Review of food: Shrimps were a just a little to salty, the chicken and fries were a little on the hard side but the fish was good. Upon going back to rate the food it allowed me to add the picture. Food review four stars read more

Chicago Chicken Coop - The expired German Chocolate Cake. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

High quality food with excellent service. It was our first time there. So navigating the menu for us required patience from the staff. The fish and chicken were 9 out ten. Very happy with the taste quality and freshness. The wait wasn't to long. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. Our order was to go but eating in clearly would've been more than comfortable. Looking for to going back. read more

I ordered via grubhub for pickup, 8 piece chicken dinner, 3 piece chicken tender dinner and a small catfish dinner. Food was ready at scheduled time. The chicken was tasty but they forgot my sauce on the side. The chicken tenders were hard and dry and the catfish was fried very hard and unedible. I say go for the chicken and fries, you can't go wrong! read more

This was my go to place. I ordered my usual 1/4 white. Taste good but This time the breast was extremely small.

Yes, it took a while for a 8pc with fries, I thought it was ok. My husband thought it was really good, before I told him his first words were that it taste like Harolds. It was piping hot, my fries weren't raw, the sauce was okay. Thought it was weird that they threw the fork on top of the wings full of sauce, instead of inside the bag, but aye. I guess what should be obvious isn't! read more

very pleased with the service and all the food that I've ever got from there been going there for the last maybe 10 since they've been there

The food was really good. I can tell it was freshly cooked and not sitting around then recooked. My only complaint is I asked to add a wing to my meal and I did not receive it. read more

This is my favorite spot. I have been going here for years and over never had a bad experience. Their phone etiquette could be better sometimes but that's it. Food is always good and hot!! read more

If you love Harold's then you know this is basically Harold's. I moved out of Illinois about 10 years ago and a lot has changed wkth the ownership of Harold's, including them closing the location on 87th/Dan Ryan. However this location on 87th/Kedzie still gives me my Harold's fix whenever I'm in town. I always get a 4 piece wing (or 6 if I'm feeling froggy) with mild sauce and it never disappoints. read more

The food was awful and small portions. I ordered the combo and got 4 pieces of chicken (the chicken was cooked in old grease or something) it was not crispy chicken at all and the smallest chicken wings I have ever seen. The Catfish was okay, and the 3pcs of shrimp were okay. The fries were apparently cooked in the same old grease that the chicken were cooked in so dark and limp fries...for $20 totally not worth it at all. read more

My husband and I came here around 11:15am on a Saturday (they open at 11am). It was a customer ahead of us who ordered 4 wings and fries. My husband ordered 4 chicken wings, fish, fries and an order of breaded mushrooms. THEY ARE SOOOOOO SLOW! Maybe it was because you just opened, the grease wasn't hot, the order takers and the cook are to busy talking loudly about NOTHING. We finally got our order about 35 minutes later. The breaded mushrooms were fried to a dark, brown crisp, almost burnt. My husband's food was good according to him. If we do come back, I'm not getting the mushrooms. read more

Food hot and fresh cook just as I ordered. , service was fast and on point , nice decor friendly atmosphere

So I called in @ 645 for 6 wings... I went in and paid @7 and @ 735 I informed the cashier that I only had 6 wings and she said she was gone fix it for me after I requested a refund. So 40 mins after a call in and paid. No thanks!!! I wanted a refund. This is always an issue. Dont call in because you will still have a ridiculous wait time. I want be back anytime soon. read more

Ordered small catfish nugget. Very tasty and seasoned well. Had their nuggets at a party 3 months ago and finally made my way over here. Nuggets and slaw was good, customer service was great, but wasn't so happy with my fries. It seems like they were old or recooked or over cooked whichever one, they were horrible. Also the place is very clean. The wait was a little long but that's ok because my nuggets were hot and fresh. I'll be back. read more

My wife and I live in hickory hills and wanted to taste some real good seasoned fried chicken! We would always pass this place but never thought to try it out, my wife moto has always been if she looks in a restaurant and there's no one in there it probably doesn't taste like much! Boy was we wrong! It was like eating Harolds back in the day! Sauce the chicken the fries all A+ will be dining again! And definitely not over priced read more

I was excited to see a 2-for-1 deal on the 3 piece chicken dinner. I ordered two so I would get the half pricing only to see what they considered to be a THREE PIECE! I got a thigh, a normal sized leg, and what looked to be a drumette from a party wing order! I know times is tough, but THIS is what you think is OK for a customer to pay for THREE PIECES??? 2-1/2 MAYBE! read more

Chicago Chicken Coop used to use the Harold's chicken moniker until Harold's threatened them with a lawsuit so they changed their name. However just because the name changed their recipe for chicken didn't. They still use the Harold's recipe including the mild sauce. The location on 87th & Kedzie is my go to and my go to meal is either the 1/4 white fried hard with salt, pepper & mild sauce on the side or the 5 wings fried hard with salt, pepper & mild sauce on the side. Their chicken is always fresh and tasty. They're a bit on the pricey side but the chicken is well worth it. The service while friendly, is very slow which is why this review got only 4 stars. Even if you call your food in ahead of time you still have to wait a good 15 to 20 minutes when you get there. Other than working on their time management skills I have no complaints or gripes with Chicago Chicken Coop. I actually frequent their establishment more than I do Harold's chicken. All in all if you want some delicious fried chicken that is a little pricey and you don't mind waiting for, check out Chicago Chicken Coop right off 87th & Kedzie. read more

I have stopped in and doordashed from here many times, sometimes it can be delicious most times they drop the ball, so inconsistent!!!! I like the hot and mild sauce so I request it on my wings and more times than not I get one or the other or not enough at all and when I order the sauces as an extra they never show up in the order , the place has potential but they need better quality control , it seems like they just don't care enough to keep my business I recommend only picking up yourself so you can complain there and get your food how you like it! read more

You are absolutely crazy if you walk in and order food here. There's an hour to an hour and a half wait to get anything out of here. I'd suggest that you make the 4 mile trip to Harold's on 87th and state and spend the rest of your time doing what you'd like. read more

I called in to place an order at 10:15 pm, the woman answered "hold please." I waited for at least 4 minutes on hold. She took my order and told me "itll be ready in 25 minutes" and then hung up. I didnt even get my total amount! I arrived at 10:40. The place looked fairly clean, there was no one inside. I walked up to the counter and one woman yelled to the back " Tay can u take her order!" No greeting or anything! 'Tay' walks up to the other register and looks at me. And the conversation went as follows: I said "Hello, i placed an order over the phone." Tay: "phone number" Me: 773-xxx-xxxx Tay: "$24.xx" (Transaction completes) Tay goes and bags my food. Hands it to me. Me: Thank you and have a good night I proceed to walk out and check my bag. There seemed to be no cakes. I ordered a half dark dinner, 5 tenders and a slice of chocolate cake and a slice of red velvet. I step back to the counter. Me: "are my cakes in here?" Other girl: "no." Tay: "no" At this point I'm baffled that they both confidently said "no" like it was ok. Me: "Ok, well i need them." Tay: "Obviously, you sure do." Now im getting upset because there is no way that she can be this disrespectful when she made a mistake! Me: ok well i was on my way out the door so when were you going to give them to me. Tay: i really dont know what was in your bag, i didnt even really look at the ticket. Me: can i just have my cakes please. She put them in the bag and i left. This was my first and LAST time eating here. customer service is just that, SERVICE. I could have cooked my own food at home and avoided disrespectful and rude people. However i wanted to be SERVED. This women need other occupations if they cannot handle their job duties. I was on hold forever. I was never greeted upon arriving. She was very blunt and rude. She did not give me my complete order. When I asked She made it seem as if it were my fault that I forgot my own cakes. Then proceeded to tell me she didnt know what was in the bag, she didn't look at the ticket! 'Tay' didn't do her job at all. If you want to keep Chicken coop open, get rid of her and never employ people like her again. She is Just ungrateful and rude. The chicken was salty and the tenders were dry. read more

I've been a long standing fan of The Chicken Coop but of late I've found the chicken to either be over cooked or burnt. The fries are almost-always under cooked and the lack of sauce undermines the entire meal. Please stop shorting us on the sauce. When I pay for extra sauce give me extra sauce! read more

It's February 1, 2020, and I've been trying to place an order. The phone just rings and rings. No one bothers to pick up the phone. After so many rings, you get a fax machine tone. I've called seven times tonight, we're going to Popeye's now. I'm sure I'm not the only customer who has experienced this. You would think they would hire a call taker for phone orders, and to help with the volume of customers on the weekend. Seems this establishment is not run efficiently, and could be making a lot more money with another employee or two. Every time I go there, you see one or two female employees busting their butt to get the orders out. I'm sure they don't make a lot of money, but they are doing their best. I've tried to support them, but I'm done with them now. read more

I've come here many times before. They usually say orders take 15 minutes, realistically it's more like 20. Today I called in my order and it took 40 minutes to get that order to me AND they left sitting on the counter for a couple minutes getting cold. There's a real Harold's around the corner, so I guess I'll see if the service is better over there next time. read more
