    Donut chicken sandwich ($13): breaded chicken breast with pickles and coop sauce on a glazed donut. Delicious!
    Eric S.

    BURNIN' DOWN THE HOUSE This popular chain serves top-tier hot chicken, but be warned: their spices are absolutely scorching. When I first heard that Fry the Coop was coming to our neck of the woods, I was ecstatic. Many years ago, I discovered the magic of their Nashville hot sandwich and it was love at first bite. Flash forward a decade and Bolingbrook now has their very own FTC on the corner of Lily Cache and Weber Rd. The original Nashville chicken sandwich ($11) is the obvious choice, but don't sleep on the spicy honey butter chix sammy ($11.75). If you're down with a fork-and-knife affair, the Messy Fries ($9.25) are a good value. Their seasoned house fries ($4) are very tasty. Other sides include mac & cheese and potato salad. A 3-tender plate w/fries is $12.50. For comparison, you can get 2 tenders w/fries @ Dave's Hot Chicken for $12.50. The same 2 tender combo w/fries @ Burnin' Mouth (inside Yorktown Mall) is only $9, and you can get a 3-tender combo w/fries & drink for $11 at Slim Chickens. Fry the Coop is pricey, but not outrageous. I recently found out they use six different spice blends for their hot chicken. You can pick from 'country' (paprika), 'mild' (cayenne pepper), 'medium' (habanero), 'hot' (ghost pepper), 'crazy' (Trinidad scorpion), and 'lil insanity' (Carolina reaper). Based on my experience with the eye-watering potency of Level 4, I assume Level 5 will send you to urgent care. Level 6 might kill weaker humans. I've never seen or heard someone order 'lil insanity', but I know it comes with a waiver and staff ask "are you sure this is something you want to do?" Let that sink in for a minute: they use habanero peppers in their MEDIUM! At most other places, habaneros are treated as an apex pepper, something not-to-be-exceeded. I can't wrap my head around the fact that there's two levels BEYOND 'hot', which should be called "Ambulance Ride" and "u died, bro". * TL;DR * I've loved Fry the Coop for a while now, and to have them ~this~ close by is probably a curse as much as it is a blessing. The quality is unmatched, but it's difficult to justify dropping $11/sandwich plus another $7 for fries + drink every visit. The chicken is succulent -- whether in the form of sandwich or tenders -- and their proprietary blend of spices is otherworldly. Fry the Coop's heat levels do not play around, so I strongly recommend choosing a grade below what you'd normally order. Once they coat the food in their wicked seasonings, there's no going back. Order happily, tread carefully, and have a glass of ice water ready just in case.

    The Lil Insanity spice level definitely packs a punch, but it's not the hottest thing I've ever eaten. I paired it with the Nashville, and the combination was incredible. The coleslaw balanced the heat, making it much more manageable. Honestly, you can't go wrong here.The food is nicely done and absolutely worth it! The place is super clean as heck which is truly appreciated!

    Fry The Coop was definitely a stop I would recommend you make, especially if you want to take a few moments and admire a lot of the old pictures that are carefully hung throughout the restaurant. I'm not sure if there is a rhyme nor reason to a theme of the pictures. Most of them are rather old but I'm not sure how it connects to the restaurant. Regardless I did take a few moments to look at the various pictures and most of them have a connection to Chicago and even Bolingbrook which is definitely appreciated. The employees definitely seem to engaged and were able to answer any questions I had about the menu which consists of various options all based around chicken nuggets and tenders, even including a variety of sauces. I'll be back and I recommend you do the same.

    This the tenders Platter with Mac and Cheese and Cole slaw, we tried a couple of sauces they have a nice selection.

    Went to the new " Fry the coop" in Bolingbrook and it was Delicious, I love that you get to choose the heat level you want, we had the "Tenders platter " with Mac and cheese and Cole slaw, the Mac and cheese was very good the chicken was spot on the meat was juicy and it had just the right amount of breading, we also the " Chicago Hot " sandwich I ordered it medium because it was my first time trying their heat levels it was made to perfection absolutely delicious the giardiniera was so flavorful with a little heat, next time I'm ordering my Chicken the next heat level up, I also had the spicy fries such great flavor similar to the fries you get at an old Chicago Hot Dog stand, I loved everything about this place I can't wait to go back, I also loved the picnic table seating it was very laid back, if your looking for a place to try a Chicken Sandwich give "Fry the Coop" a try.

    Cute picnic style tables.

    The food was delicious. We were greeted as soon as we entered, the young lady was very sweet and explained the menu and options clearly. My daughter and I ordered the Spicy butter and the Original Nashville. A really cute place to have lunch or dinner. The only reason they didn't get 5 stars is because when our order was called we didn't know he was speaking to us and got up to get our order... no biggie right? Well every single order taken after ours was served and brought to the customer at their table by gentleman that called our order... so the inconsistency was not there and made us feel a certain way.

    Went to Fry the Coop Bolingbrook location because for the past week I heard nothing but good things about the small chicken chain. And wanted to try them out, I was there at 11:55 am today and a really nice lady Mikahla worked the register she was nice, patient and pleasant to talk too. I didn't realize til last second that the medium equaled to habanero spice so I asked to change it to mild and she immediately requested the kitchen crew to change it from medium to mild instead, thank you for adjusting my request so well Mikahla. The Chicken and Cheese Sandwich is 11.95 a la carte this doesn't include the meal if you want the meal its 5.99 more for a fry and large drink. This place is on the pricey side so please be aware if you want to stay at minimum of $20. So the chicken and cheese sandwich and a small house fry is 4.59 a la carte for the fries. With tax my total was 18.20?!Wow!! Well let me tell ya folks was it worth the 18.20 the answer is Yes. It was definitely worth the money, the chicken sandwich traveled well and stayed warm during the travel home. Their house fries although this is my first time trying beef fat fries they had an interesting flavor to the fries. The fries have their skin on so kept half of the fries crispy while the more lengthy fries are crispy and fluffy inside. They had about 10 customers dining in at the time I entered and waited for my food. Wait time for my food was 5 minutes so great customer service and great food. Thank you again guys I will come back soon.

    I came here for a work brunch meeting and this was my first time here. This used to be the Bulldogs…read moreand you wouldn't have been able to tell. The space is so much brighter and welcoming! They offered your usual breakfast items and I opted for something more balanced like a protein heavy omelette and paired it with a side of pancakes. I also got the green smoothie and that was very refreshing and quite enjoyable. I got the mushroom omelette with a side of country gravy and fruit. It was very generous and ended up taking most of it home.

    OMG!! Where do I even begin. If I could give this place 0 stars I would…read more Anyway, my friend and I went here for lunch today. We arrived may be about 15-20 minutes before 1 o'clock. Upon sitting down, I noticed that there was salt and sticky stuff all over my side of the table. So, I asked the waiter to wipe the table, at which point he seemed fairly discombobulated and he asked if we wanted to move to another table. I said, no - I'd like to stay where I was and if you just get a rag and wipe the table. But, he wasn't sure how to do that without wiping crumbs into my lap. Well, buddy there's more than one way to wipe down a table without flinging crumbs in my lap, but I'll digress. He came back moments later with a small red bucket, ringing out the rag at our table side. I think at this point I was more worried about getting splashed with soapy, bleach water than I was with a crumb falling in my lap. After the waiter wiped my table I had to use my napkin to wipe up the tsunami of water that he left behind. WTH!! Ok, so we ordered our food. My friend ordered Corned Beef Benedict with hashbrown potatoes (not fruit), I ordered a Monte Cristo with fries, which came with a cup soup, so I ordered their Minestrone Soup, and I requested a side of Parmesan Cheese. A little while later, our waiter came back to inform me that they had ran out of the soup I ordered, and he asked if I wanted the other soup, which was Jalapeño something or another. Nah, I'll pass - thank you! Well, we waited a good 15 minutes for our food to come out and when it did, my friend did not receive her hashbrown potatoes, but rather a side of fruit that she did not order. She also received a small cup of Parmesan Cheese, which was supposed to come with my Minestrone soup that they "ran out of." Surprisingly enough, the waiter noticed that it was on her plate, so he casually grabbed it and set it over by me. Not that it would've done me any good considering, I didn't even get my soup, but, OK! Now let's talk about my Monte Cristo. At first, it looked great, but looks can be deceiving. The size of the bread was absolutely astronomical, but when you opened up the sandwich it reminded me of the commercial, "Where's the Beef?" Needless to say, I had to call a manager over to the table. When she arrived, I explained to her that the meat on the sandwich was being overtaken by the sheer amount of bread. Instead of offering solutions at this point, she was merely looking at me completely dumbfounded, so I had to literally ask her what we could do to remedy the situation? She asked if I would like my sandwich on thin bread. Sure, fine - that sounds great! When my second sandwich arrived, it was on thin "toasted" bread, not the French Toast style bread that it usually comes on. Well, once again, I had to call the manager to my table and send my sandwich back. I explained that my sandwich came out on toasted bread and that's not what I expected. She said, "well, the French Toast is the thick bread that was on your first sandwich. Well, look lady, it's not friggin' rocket science. Take the thin bread, dip it in egg and make French Toast, then add the meat and cheese. WTF!! At this point, I'm completely frustrated and flabbergasted at the sheer amount of incompetence with the most simplest tasks. My friend is literally done eating all of her food, I have eaten almost all of my French Fries and I'm still waiting for my damn sandwich. So, I received my third sandwich, which looked OK until I cut into it and realized that it was just thin bread, dipped in butter and grilled on the stove with one slice of cheap lunchmeat, turkey, and one slice of thin cheap lunchmeat ham. As for the cheese, I think a mouse ate the other half of it because it definitely was not on my sandwich. There was definitely more meat on my first sandwich even though it was being overtaken by an abundance of unnecessary bread. I called the manager over, yet again, and explained to her that the bread had literally been dipped in butter and grilled. I also explained to her that I am diabetic and I need to eat however, I am not paying for this food. During the 1990s and early 2000s I worked in the restaurant industry as a server and as a manager, and I can tell you this, I would've offered to comp the bill or a portion of the bill before ever waiting for a customer to tell me that they're not going to pay for it. With all that being said, I will never eat there again!! Once was more than enough! Don't even get me started on all the caked on dirt that was visible on the baseboards. Yikes!! At least the bartender was cool, and made a pretty damn good Mimosa, which I'm glad I ordered because after that shit show anyone in their right mind would need a good drink just to be able to cope.

    Tried Happy Bites on Route 53 for the first time, and I'm happy to say it did not disappoint!…read more We started with the zucchini sticks and jalapeño cheddar bites--both were beautifully crispy and really well done. We also tried the cauliflower wings in both Buffalo Garlic and Honey BBQ, and they were quite good with great flavor.

We like to order big when trying a new place! My favorite thing was the garlic parm fries - absolutely delicious! The burger was quite tasty as well. Definitely seemed like real beef (when compared to other cheap fast food joints). I liked the Italian Beef egg rolls: they were crunchy and much more like a traditional Chinese egg roll than I expected. A little spicy with the giardianiera. The Mac n cheese bites were meh and the cheese curds weren't all that great either. They both might have been tastier if they were still hot by the time I got them home. I would definitely try this place again. I heard the cashier mention a rewards program. Their prices are comparable to Culvers or Five Guys, but seems worth it.
