This place is another absolute gem in Geneva, IL! They pressure-fry their chicken using 100% beef tallow--no seed oils! Everything we ordered tasted incredibly fresh, hot, and delicious. The pork tenderloin sandwich was the standout for me. It was perfectly seasoned, tender, and--did I mention GIGANTIC?! It was seriously huge and absolutely delicious! The coleslaw was fantastic, and the garlic mashed potatoes were delicious as well. And whatever you do, don't forget to order the corn fritters! At first, I expected them to have more corn in them, but once I took a bite, I couldn't stop eating them! Don't judge them until you give them a try--you might be surprised by how addictive they are! Honestly, everything we ordered was delicious. You can tell they put care into their food, and the quality really shows. The service was excellent! We were greeted with such a warm welcome, and our food was brought right to our table piping hot and fresh. Great food, generous portions, friendly service, and lots of delicious sauces to choose from--what's not to love? Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in Geneva,IL!

Pork Tenderloin Sandwich
Jeff G.

Had a wonderful meal, everything was great. The pork tenderloin sandwich was huge and perfect. So hard to find in the burbs. The chicken was good and juicy. The fritters were equally good as was the fried pickles. The staff were so sweet and helpful. Answered all our questions and brought the food to our table. You order when you walk in and then they give you a buzzer. Cute setup in an older home. I love that they kept the rooms separated, gives a very unique atmosphere. We will be back.

Well, Geneva has added a chicken place to its cadre of restaurants. A great addition to town. The chicken is outstanding. Fresh, moist and delicious coating of light breading. Fries and hush puppies equally delicious. Service was friendly and efficient. Don't let the construction deter you from trying this new establishment. Will be a repeat customer!

Had to give Honeybird Fried Chicken a try after hearing they were connected to Riganato Old World Grille and honestly, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The chicken was excellent. Crispy, flavorful, and most importantly not overly greasy. You can absolutely taste the difference between this and a typical fast food fried chicken spot. It feels fresh, homemade, and actually cared about. Not really fair to even compare it to a corporate chain because this is clearly on another level. The coleslaw was probably the best I've had in a long time, honestly since Carson's Ribs in Chicago. Super fresh, creamy, and balanced perfectly. Mac and cheese was solid too. Definitely more of that Velveeta-style comfort mac, but no complaints there because fried chicken is clearly the star of the show. What stood out just as much as the food was the atmosphere. Friendly staff, great service, and even the cooks in the back looked genuinely happy to be there. That kind of energy says a lot about a place. If you've been to Riganato before, you can definitely see the same quality and care carried over here. Highly recommend checking them out. In my opinion, it beats the other local fried chicken spots around here like Atlas.

garlic mashed potatoes

food was really good. staff was nice. i think they could use some gravy for their chicken and potatoes is all. but very nice place with a lot of parking and outdoor patio. it was super clean inside too which is a huge win! definitely somewhere to go for dinner if you live in the area or even just pick up!

Squares is sub…read morepar in a pizza area, they appear to be thick rectangular, nearly 2" crust probably pre made with basics and TOPPED with your chosen ingredients. i wouldn't bother unless i were on a LONG riad trip with kids dying fir pizza. BUT! the chicken is worth it. Light breading, all tenders (unless you want wings). We haven't gotten past the BBQ chicken salad or classic caesar as they are the best. A few issues: -Young guy with a deep grumbly, disinterested voice/attitude failed to check online orders (i only say he failed because when i got there he said, "i didnt see the order come in." huh, not my fault. I thought maybe he was new so let it go. -I have learned NEVER be the first order of the day. After 2 times of dried out chicken with too many burnt parts, we learned. (Do they have the cooking oil too high trying to get to correct temp quickly or are they using yesterday's leftovers? -ordered BBQ Chicken salad, "fried BBQ chicken, separate Please." Lettuce was cooked by the time i got home. OH! same guys deep voice answered when i called to ask if i failed to specify chicken separate. He mumble my order exactly as i thought i entered. I presented my issue because $its a $13.00 $alad. He answered, uh yeah sorry." i replied, "and?" so AFTER i pulled ig out of him i was reimbursed though, i will check to c if it cones thru. if the owner/mgr reads this, You will EASILY know if you have the bkah voiced-mumbler, if you call. I have to say the regular daily young man, is PERFECTLY courteous, genuinely nice and has NEVER made an error. He also is articulate and friendly. if you speak to a male, slow-talking, mumbler who has no idea what custer service is, i warned you. Plan your visit accordingly as it is still worth it, if they cant get slug-voice-mumbler some courtesy and articulation training, this pka e is in trouble. no one wants to pay premium prices for curbside etc.

I have a pretty good heat tolerance and liked the spice of extra hot but just regular hot is good enough I think and a bit more enjoyable. I was surprised how much food the order came with when I opened the box. Thick chicken tenders and generous portions of sauce, pickles and slaw too. The fries were nice and crispy and I like the seasoning. Staff was very friendly too even though I showed up while they were getting ready to close down for the night. I picked up my order to go but the restaurant was clean and I wouldn't have minded eating there. Also was able to use sign up reward and get a free drink with my meal too which was nice. I'm sure I'll be back soon.

No one was here besides me but in reality...who wants spicy food at 10am? Not to mention, most people are probably working at this time Upon entering, I was greeted by Mira (I believe). She was very friendly and asked if this was my first time and she explained the menu and the different options. I really appreciated her and that level of service For my late breakfast, early lunch... I got the Daves Big Trio with Hot as my pick. It came with 6 Bites, 4 mini sliders, and 2 pieces of Mozzarella sticks and 3 sauces. Everything was crispy and delicious. For someone who does eat spicy food... Hot was perfect. The first few bites, I thought "Oh...not bad at all...not spicy tho". However, the hot just kept building and building and around halfway mark, I had to drink some water and it was creeping towards "wow..spicer than I was prefer to eat as an everyday thing". Overall, the food was delicious, and hot was hot. I would return in the future.

Close to closing time, and "Joseph" happily took my order for "this and that" with total patience . Even asked when I was done..."are you sure you don't want anything else?" Honored a coupon I had forgotten to send with my son for pickup...everything was perfect on order.... Chicken was very good...although crust is almost too thick and crunchy for my taste. Thighs were nice and juicy and delicious! Legs could have been taken out a touch sooner...a little too dry. Family loves the fried mushrooms...and we tried bread sticks for the first time! Fought over them! . Much more our taste than biscuits. Also like that there are so many other choices on their menu! I would have gone to a 5 star review, except surprised hours were only to 8PM on a Saturday. Then website says 9:00 on Sunday? Need to straighten that out...otherwise super happy customer!

I wondered how is Brown's chicken staying open? for $11.49 this was not a quality meal. The person who plated up the food should have taken 2 minutes to make sure all food items are nice and hot. I'm just wondering what items are the top sellers?

I have driven past here many times and finally decided to try it. We came to dine-in on Wednesday…read morenight around 7:30pm. The service was a bit slow, but there were only two people working. It took about half an hour to get our food. We enjoyed watching Deal or No Deal on the TV while we waited lol. The guys working were really friendly, brought our food to us and even asked us how we liked the food. I would probably only order takeout from here in the future because they had those orders ready on time. I ordered the 6 piece boneless wing combo, which comes with fries and (possibly?) a drink. I did not realize that I could only choose one or the other for the combo: a drink or side of sauce. While ordering on the kiosk, I selected cheese sauce and it replaced my drink because they were under the same category of options, which I didn't even notice. Although I felt like it was my fault for not double-checking, I still don't think a tiny container of sauce is a fair drink substitute... oh well. Another thing to note is that online when placing an order/viewing the menu, it says the combo comes with a 20oz bottle of soda even though they only had 12oz cans in stock. I think these discrepancies could easily be fixed, and might prevent some confusion/disappointment among future customers. I appreciate that they gave me two extra wings because the boneless are somewhat tiny. For my sauce on the wings, I chose to try the Buldak-Gochujang and it was a little sweet with a hint of spice. The plain fries were just okay. They offer a bunch of different topping options for the fries, which I might be interested in trying next time.

The tables were also a bit sticky, which didn't make the best first impression. That said, the food was really good.

Visited Southern Cafe (SC) for Father's Day. Understood it would be a longer than average wait but…read moregiven our previous positive experience, thought it would be worth it. When we arrived, there was no one else waiting and I'd guess that only 75% of the tables had customers. Couldn't have been more wrong in our decision as we waited for over an hour post ordering before we actually received our meal. This is the longest we have waited for breakfast... EVER. Anyone with kids knows having kids sit still and wait with minimal sources of entertainment is hard enough, then add hunger to the equation and it's a recipe for disaster. What could have made our experience better? 1 - Be transparent about your delays upfront -- Empower your diners to make a decision around whether they'd want to wait or not given how busy you are. Don't continue to seat customers when your kitchen is severely behind and hope diners don't notice. 2 - A small gesture goes a long way -- It would have been nice for SC to offer a couple of biscuits given the excessive wait. 3 - Don't add insult to injury... by bringing butter and ketchup 30+ minutes before the meal arrives. It added to the frustration that even my 7yo remarked "what are we going to do with butter, we have no food". They offered more water even when all our water cups were clearly full. Don't really understand how more water would make us less hungry? Looking at another recent 1-star review, I can see the same pattern as our experience. This restaurant clearly doesn't fail gracefully on busy days... and they don't seem to care either. At the conclusion of our meal, we didn't even get the typical "how was your meal" question from anyone. I guess they already knew.
