So, allegedly Krispy Krunchy Chicken used to be only a gas-station based chain? I would not have…read moreguessed, but it makes sense. The quality is not at the level of the inimitable Dave's or Hot Chi, but better than fast food (excluding the Spicy McCrispy®, with a Sprite, that's another conversation for another day). I ordered two tenders so I'd have something for the beer at Green Mill next door to wash down. The Tenders were just about to be made fresh, and thus I got them as fresh as they come. While not the most thorough or crispy breading ever, the chicken had a medium light coating of medium crispitude. The breading had some basic seasoning, but what stood out was the chicken, which was tender for white meat (I think), and had some saltiness seemingly from being brined. The staffer working behind the counter was kind and friendly, and for chicken made fresh, it came out in a reasonable timeframe. Final verdict: while not a destination, KKC is perfectly fine for some textbook "good" chicken if one is in the area and needs something to put in one's stomach.

Man gas station chicken gets a brick and mortar store! Bruh! Gas station chicken back in the day…read morewas on point! I never thought I would ever eat food from a gas station, but this was the only time I broke down and did. The crispiness of the skin, plus the flavor was on point! Add the biscuits, mashed taters and cole slaw and you had a meal. Fast forward to 2025, and KKC has moved from the gas station to a proper storefront. Located just down the street from The Green Mill and my favorite goat meat taco place (Birrieria Zaragoza). The chicken and biscuits are still just as tasty, they still run out of side at the end of the night, but so glad they are here. Much nicer than trying to find parking in a gas station to get chicken. The Doctor, Queen and I decided to stop in there for a bite to eat after spending several hours at The Green Mill listening to the wonder Chris Foreman on the Hammond organ. I remember when this space was a Mexican restaurant, so it is spacious with plenty of seating. We placed our order and the gentleman working the counter was pleasant. The food came up fast and was hot and delish. The side dishes are a good compliment to the chicken, if they have them. Not surprised as the gas station locations use to routinely run out of sides. Minus some missing sides, I have already been back to get food and will be returning. Be aware that while there is street parking, it can be difficult, especially with concerts at The Riviera or Aragon Brawlroom

The rice was a little bland, but when mixed with the chicken juices, it made a great vessel for the chicken flavor. The poppers were just ok, but did offer a solid side to go along the meal. The storefront is in a strip with a neighborhood market and a bar. The menu was big with a lot of options. The decor was basic with a handful of tables, meaning that it's primarily a take-out/delivery spot. The person who rung me up gave me extra sauce, and made sure I was given all options. Great service.

Not my first time at this location. I've been coming here since the grand opening and my previous…read morevisits were 4-5 stars...but NOT anymore atm. First and foremost is always the food. My double burger with cheese and all the trimmings was really good, fresh and the fries too while they were hot. It was an exceptionally busy early evening, so I'll give the staff some consideration that they were obviously pressured and stressed...and some were handling it way better than others. Kudos to runner Chris and my two cashiers, but some others were dismissive and one in particular bordering on rudeness. Still not sure why the confusion over my first responder discount that was always offered since inception and at any other Chicagoland Culver locations without question, but at least I was offered the "military" discount and that was something. However, Chick -Fil-A has good food too...and NEVER a problem with them. So, pretty sure I won't be back for a good while. Like the commercial says...eat more chicken...wink wink.

**MY EXPERIENCE:**…read more Stepping into Ba Le Sandwiches felt like diving into a vibrant slice of Vietnamese culture right in the heart of Chicago. The moment you walk in, the irresistible aroma of freshly baked baguettes and spices hits you like a punch. It's not just any sandwich shop; it's a community staple. Every visit is an adventure, a culinary journey that never fails to wow. Picture this: layers of savory meats, crisp veggies, and zesty sauces nestled between perfectly toasted bread, all served up with a smile from the owner. The sandwiches are a steal--affordable yet bursting with bold flavors that make you crave another bite. I have become regular, always eager to explore new combinations and stories behind each creation. It's more than a meal; it's an experience that connects us to the vibrant tapestry of Chicago's multicultural scene. I will be back!

I've tried different proteins for the tacos: STEAK, LENGUA (tongue), TRIPA (tripe), PASTOR (pork), and BISTECK. They are all delicious, tender, juicy, well-prepared and well-seasoned. The lime, cilantro, and onions on each taco are fresh and give so much flavors. The rice and beans that come with the entrees are so good as well. Service is always friendly and efficient. The place is neat, the bathroom is clean, and the prices are very reasonable. I will never get tired of coming here to eat. I heard that their margaritas are worth trying too. I'll try those after work hours ;)

You've been up since 6 am sweating and lifting heavy boxes. You just paid your movers an excessive amount of money and got yelled at by a neighbor for blocking the alleyway. It's 1 pm and you're HUNGRY and want a DRINK. This was our experience walking into Taqueria Primo Chukis. We ordered some very well-priced margaritas, my husband got tacos and I got a chicken burrito. YUMMMM. Great portions (my burrito was huge), simple yet flavorful recipes, and great service. The house salsas were great as well and actually quite spicy. After inhaling our food in record time and declaring this our favorite restaurant of our new neighborhood, only one question remained - was it actually that good, or were we just starving from our move? Don't worry, we put that to the test! We came back with a group on a perfectly normal day and had a spread of enchiladas, tacos, burritos, and flan. Somehow, I think it was even better the second time!! My husband now suggests this spot for any and every meal. You will not be disappointed if you are looking for simple yet delicious mexican food.
