I don't live in the area, but I happened to be nearby and had to stop in and check this place out. I'm really glad I did. I ordered the chicken mac and cheese, and it was so good. I've ordered the no spice, medium, and hot, and every level was flavorful. Fair warning though, the hot is truly hot and definitely brings the heat in the best way. The hot was my favorite. I skipped the wings and sandwiches this time since they were a bit pricey compared to what I'm used to back home in the city, but honestly the chicken mac and cheese was more than enough to win me over. I would absolutely order it again without hesitation. There are also a few tables if you want to dine in, which is a nice bonus. read more

Staff was very friendly and I got my order quickly. Looks like most people order to take-out but there is plenty of seating indoors. Quality of food is good but lacks flavor. My favorite part of my meal was the fried pickles. We ordered cajun fries but got regular fries which was disappointing. I would be open to going back and trying other items on the menu. read more

Ordered online for a delayed pickup. I was slightly late due to traffic and the person at the counter did not seem amused that I was 'late' though they still have 2 hours that they're open (the only person losing was me with maybe slightly sad chicken?). However, I did pickup the food without incident. The mild chicken is HOT... if you want really mild you might have to pick no heat. However, chicken is delicious and not greasy and the toppings of my sandwich (pickles, slaw) were perfect. Pricewise, things are reasonable and while service was a smidge crabby today, on previous visits, they've been friendly. Small spot if you want to eat in. Worth a visit but try to be on time if you order for pickup! read more

Just my opinion I wasn't a big fan of this place. I came here one day with a friend who recommended that we check this place out. We were second waiting in line, and you would have thought the line was out the door. We waited for 15 minutes just to place our order. The guy behind the counter looked frustrated and upset. Never really much acknowledging the customers. The online orders were coming in and he was overwhelmed. There was only one cook, one person cleaning tables and the guy behind the counter was trying to be a Superhero. That he neglected the customers coming to place their orders. There were a few people who came in and got tired of waiting and left the restaurant. Finally, we were able to place our order. I ordered the 3 pc Tenders Meals and a side of Mac & Cheese, and my friend ordered the Fricken Chicken Meal. I was so disappointed with the food. Overprice, lack of taste and unprofessional service. Just doing too much up in this place for me. Well, I supported this neighborhood business. Not sure if I would return back. If so, I would hope to update with a better review and more stars. read more

Huge shout out to Antonio who was my server today! Dropped by during rush hour for dinner before going home. This chicken shop opened about a year ago and they have been killing the game with service and food. I decided to order the Leghorn chicken sando and Antonio gave me a free Mac and cheese side to try (I was skeptical - can't just try anyone's Mac and cheese). The sandwich is massive. fresh cut jalepenos and crispy Cole slaw matched with decently portioned chicken tenders that are crisp to perfection. What more could you ask for?! Do yourself a favor and get medium as a flavor. Hot is overwhelming and if it's your first time, you wouldn't be able to enjoy the goodness of the sandwich. The Mac and cheese is highly cheesy and gooey. It's thick and hearty. Definitely surprised me as a fast food restaurant but I surely enjoyed it. I am sure I will return and grab another item. If you're in the neighborhood, check this place out! read more

Twice we have placed an order thru door dash. Both times we were called to be notified that they were out of certain items. First time ok sure no worries. Second time it was multiple items. When I suggested to the woman that maybe they should update the site she said she shouldn't do anything. I immediately canceled the order . The food is good and I was really kind of shocked that this had happened. read more

You know the food is good when there's only 5 star reviews! I'm so glad I finally got to try Chubby's Hot Chicken. It's a casual restaurant shop on Madison street that has a simple menu. I stopped by for a quick takeout order for lunch. Food came out really fast! I ordered the Foghorn Chicken Sandwich, which is Nashville style chicken with slaw and jalapeños. When looking at the sandwich, the chicken is massive! And, I've got to say that this is one of the best chicken sandwiches that I've tried in the Chicago area so far! The chicken is well fried yet so juicy. The Nashville seasoning gives a kick of spice added on with the flavors from the jalapeños and pickles. I was greatly surprised by Chubby's and definitely recommend! I'll be back for sure! read more

This is a small chicken establishment located in Forest Park, and it is by far one of the best chicken sandwiches I have had in Illinois. Interior and menu are straight and to the point. Nothing flashy, just a really great sandwich. Service was really quick as well since I came in the middle of the week around 1 pm, so I am not sure how busy things get here. I ordered the Fog Horn Chicken Sando, Nashville style, and it comes with jalapeños slaw, pickles, and a sauce on top. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and flavorful. The Nashville heat is definitely there blended in with the jalapeños slaw. The slaw is also very fresh and flavorful. Definitely compliments this style of sandwich. I highly recommend giving this place a try and making them your go-to chicken sandwich shop. read more

Delicious! I ordered the 3 tender combo, which comes with the tenders, which you can get spicy or not, fries, and a roll. I took my food to go, but there was limited space to eat, although the place was completely empty. I easily could've gotten the 2 chicken tender combo, since I couldn't even finish the meal with 3. The roll just seemed like a roll from a bag, but it definitely helped me cool off my mouth! Overall, yummy chicken and hopefully I'll be back soon! read more

The medium-spice wings were absolutely delicious with just the right kick. The bacon burgers were solid too--really satisfying. Service was excellent, and the jazz and blues paintings on the walls added a great vibe, giving the place an authentic Nashville feel. read more

I'd love to give this place 5 stars but the while the food was good, the whole experience was chaotic. I stopped in to find about 8 people inside waiting for food with not a single person dining in. A bit bizarre and then I looked in the kitchen. Three people all of whom looked fairly overwhelmed. Maybe someone called in sick or there was a rush but you should be prepared for stuff like that. Ordered the foghorn chicken sandwich and was a bit confused with what I got. With a chicken sandwich I expected a chicken breast. Instead I was given a chicken tender sandwich that was a bit underwhelming because it was so messy to eat. Next, the description said jalapeno coleslaw. Excellent. I love jalapeño slaw. What I received was far from it. It was raw, shredded red cabbage and pickled jalapeños from a jar. Just lazy. It was still good but a bit misleading on all fronts. Tighten it up, guys. Make some small service and menu tweaks and this place will do extremely well. Giving three stars because I'd be embarrassed taking a family or significant other here based on what I experienced. read more

The chicken tender platter with French fries was very good. I asked for mild and it had a nice little kick to it; very good sauce. I also got the house sauce for dipping & it was very good. This is counter service with booth style seating. The order process was fast & correct. Friendly staff. Good lunch! read more

Came here on Saturday afternoon with 8 teenage girls. 3 of them chose not to eat because they weren't hungry, and the other 5 all ordered something different than each other. Now if you know anything about teenagers, they are picky eaters. I can say that everyone of them was absolutely amazed with the food. They thanked us so much for getting them to try something other than McDonald's and other places. I had the specialty chicken sandwich. Medium. And it had the perfect amount of kick to it. A touch less than Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich and more than the other guys who don't open on Sunday. The fries, onion rings, wings, and fried chicken, were all reportedly amazing and "wayyyy better than uncle Remus". The ambiance was perfect. Small enough to be cozy. But large enough to hold about 15 guests. I imagine most ppl take their food to go. And here is what puts them above and beyond. The three girls who weren't hungry...the employees brought out a tray of food for them out of the kindness of their hearts. They were very appreciative and told me they ate it even though they didn't have to room for it. The girls were absolutely humbled by their generosity. Amazing food. Amazing employees. What more could you ask for? read more

The food here is terrific, more specifically that chicken sandwich, Fog Horn Leg Horn is delicious, and hands down the best chicken sandwich ever!

Kudos! read more

Ordered double turkey burger, yummy. Will visit again! Used online to order my food. When arrived at business order was hot and ready.

The chicken tenders are delicious and the perfect combination of crispy breading and juicy chicken. Tried the Foghorn Leghorn sandwich and it had the same awesome combination of juiciness and flavorful crunch. Fries were standard but didn't need to be anything else except a side to the excellent chicken, though adding a cup of cheese made the fries even better. If you're tired of the big chain chicken sandwiches and tenders or just looking for something new, Chubby's Hot Chicken has to be given a try. read more

Underrated, delicious, reasonable prices!! Friendly staff. Recommend anything on the menu. Nice seasoning and stayed crispy even on a drive home. The a la carte menu is great if you don't like sandwiches. read more

Love this place so much! Very glad they brought the burger back to their menu. It's honestly my favorite burger in this area. They have a double patty burger but they let me get the Jr. burger, which is only one patty. It's on the kid's menu but said it was fine that I ordered it. The burger is simple- patty, cheese, pickles, diced red onion, and a special sauce all on a soft (I think brioche) bun. This review ended up being all about the burger. It's that good! read more

Spent $65 for dinner here and asked the women at the counter if the dipping sauces I paid $1 each for were I. The bag, her response, Yep! I put them in myself! Got home and not one single dipping sauce in the bag. Called to let her know she in fact didn't put my dipping sauce in the bag, but they don't answer the phone, so this is the only avenue to go down, I would have to say the food is some of the best in the area, but that BS attitude when asked a simple question on my order is what this review comes down too, this isn't the first time the sauce has been left out of the order. read more

I came to restaurants March 2026.The ladie whom i placed order with nice and pleasant. The cook (heavy set ladie with dreads) unprofessional...I ordered a variety of things off the menu from fish sandwich, chicken wings and chicken tenders Mac and cheese and fries..The mac and cheese was Dry and flavorless not cheesy at all..I told the ladie my order specifically no onions of no kind on my fish sandwich,due to allergies. Got my food bit into it, it had all kinds of onions on it. Took it back to explained to the ladie it has onions on it and could they remake, she told the ladie who was cooking. (Heavy set Ladie with dread)Cook went on a rampage about how "I should have read the menu" I told her I did and ladie who took order told her I did TELL HER no onions on anything..She took onions off and gave me back THE SAME sandwich, it still had onion juice, smelled and probably tasted like onion to, and said I'll be good.It was So unprofessional and rude I had no choice but to throw it away. I had to take benadryl to stop reaction. Im sure that she was not trained in that manner and legal action should be taken due to me explained my food allergies, she disrespectful disregarded it.I hope this issue get address and fixed and training properly done. Will not be returning or recommending this place..very irritated read more

The service for this place was really good. They were busy but they did a good job relating to the customers. The place is more of a take out spot or an after bar stop in place. The food was good.

You won't find a better Nashville Hot anywhere. That includes in Nashville. It's one of those rare things that while you're eating it, you realize it's the best you've ever had. I order mine "medium", which online you can do by choosing mild and hot and making a note. Don't sleep on their double burgers either though. Delicious! One of the best burgers I've ever had. I'd pass on their kids meal chicken nuggets. They are good for adults, but their too fresh for kids that are used to processed chicken nuggets. Overall, a great place to get lunch! read more

I'm not sure if it's the new management or if the workers are not properly trained, but we waited a *full hour* for two chicken sandwiches and a cheeseburger. My kids were starving and grumpy by the end of this debacle, and the place was full of people waiting and frustrated. There seemed to be something awry in the kitchen, with four workers mostly standing around, confused. The man at the register was apologetic and very kind, but we unfortunately ended up having to take our order to go. We ate our sandwiches in the car on the way to a show. The food is as delicious as we remembered, if a little messy to be eating while driving. Too bad we weren't able to enjoy the meal in the way we had planned because we probably won't choose to come back here--at least not for a while. I hope they iron out the wrinkles and get back to the way they were before; it has real potential. read more

The chicken sandwich tasted great, and that's all that really matters. I was a little disappointed to get some tenders on a bun instead of a nice chunk of chicken like I've seen everywhere else, but it was still good nonetheless. Mac n cheese was also solid. The bathroom was closed and the tables were greasy, but at the end of the day, you're here for a chicken sandwich, and it hit the mark. read more
