    The #1 Hot Honey Sandwich Fries
    Edward M.

    I would give this place zero stars , the chicken sandwich was so thin and nothing but breading and the sauce was nothing special and on top of that the cashier was bitting on his nail while taking my order how gross, save your money and go elsewhere

    The hot chi salad is so good. I'm glad there's something lower carb on the menu. I will be ordering this again.

    Tish and Rakia had great service they greeted me, were genuine and gave honest opinions about the spice level. The food is amazing, I got the medium level spice and I'm not dying of heat it is just perfect. Very spacious in here with many tables.

    I love this place it's STILL my favorite. I have tried everything and love everything but my favorite is still the Popeyes ain't shit chicken sammich and the only thing I don't really care for is the actual cheese on the cheat day fries... the customer service is always courteous and I wouldn't mind eating in the small space but they are so busy I would prefer to buss my sandwich down on the go

    12/ 15/2022 First thing is, they don't open at 10:45am, I went there at 10:45 and waited until 11:45am. They did a good job advertising in social media so I came to see the hype.. People were inside there taking their sweet time and saw me and didn't even have the decency to tell me that they weren't open or they were running late.. they just kept getting ready to open and setting up and I got tired of waiting almost an hr and left. I was excited to try this place and drove all the way here but can't wait forever. I don't know how often this happens and I understand it opening a few minutes late, but over an hr is insane. I guess I'll have to update my review when I actually try it. Luckily wing stop was a 30 second walk.

    Hot chi chicken sandwich

    I stopped by on a Saturday because I've seen this restaurant on tik tok and I love a good chicken sandwich. I am impressed with the price point and amount of food. $11 gets you the sandwich and fries. I do appreciate being able to select which heat level you prefer. The food was hot when served and the fries had a nice crisp crunch. The sandwich was well seasoned (a bit heavy handed seasoning). And a tasty sauce as well. The chicken sandwich met my craving of a hot chicken sandwich. Restaurant seating is nothing extravagant but a few tables and chairs. Free Parking available.

    Could be very inconsistent/hit or miss experiences depending when you choose to go. The hours were wrong on maps and said closed Saturday and Sunday, and closing at 3pm Monday & Friday. And 7pm on Tuesday-Thursdays. The phone number on maps will direct you to the neighboring restaurant "Firehouse" Usually decent service during the daytime before 2pm if the owner is inside. When the owner is not there service could be hit a miss I would not recommend coming after 2. Service is off.. would rather go to Fry the Coop or Parsons after 2 Waited 21 mins for food hot honey chicken sandwich, fries, & shake. Ordered online hoping this could expedite process, but i saw people ordering and leaving before i received my order... as well as several uber eats picking up food. with no explanation as to why? I had to ask what could be taking my order so long and was told "I don't know, we have a lot of orders" from cashier and he walked off as i was talking to him. Which still does not explain watching people order and leaving with their food before me. Orders that were just received by kitchen able to exit long before I. A nice young woman in back told me that they just dropped something which was appreciated. As theres only 2 sandwiches to choose from, it was confusing but surely better than no explanation. Working in both fast food and sit down restaurants I understand being busy but not blatantly skipping over customers orders though. Everyone was serviced before I was able to leave. Even if busy, should at the least be able to provide some kind of reasoning as to why my order in particular could be taking longer. I was mostly treated as if I should not be there by male cashier. I did not order anything special as the only entree menu item is 2 chicken sandwiches and tenders. Male cashier in yellow hat at register was very unprofessional telling me we dont have salt, without even checking. Ive had salt for the fries last time i was here with owner. Please at least be sure before confidently telling me "we don't even carry salt". Worst customer service from the face of the business, the cashier, that ive had in recent memory.

    Yes it's hot. Perfect weather in Chicago for a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich. I had the Hot Honey Butter sandwich "Hot" and the buttermilk Mac & Cheese. Both were delicious. Service was quick and the place was packed.

    Crinkle Cut Fries

    I was in the city visiting my dad and a friend recommended that I try Hot Chi Chicken. When I tell you this was a very good choice for lunch I am very pleased!! The young lady at the register that took my order was very knowledgeable!! She told me what the sandwiches had on them and explained the different levels of heat. She was very nice about it didn't give me attitude or seem frustrated about my questions. I ordered the Popeyes Ain't Shit chicken sandwich medium heat with extra garlic mayo and baaaaaby it was waaaaaay better than Popeyes! I had fries with it and a Watermelon Sugar drink that was extremely good.. tasted sweet but not overly sweet with a hint of mint!! Delicious it's mostly a carry out restaurant but there are tables in the establishment if you want to sit and eat. There is free parking on the side and back. It's really good YELP family try it!!

    This is on their website this is what they advertise this is not what I got
    Asia M.

    Decided to try this restaurant out today there was no wait I ordered two chicken tenders fries and the elote 1. I live exactly 5 minutes from the restaurant and my food was cold The chicken taste like they just poured cayenne pepper on it . No flavor 2. The fries that everyone talks about was regular crinkle fries absolutely nothing to talk about 3. But the worst part of my dinner was the elote .... Seriously false advertising on their website they have a full ear of corn.... What I received was creamed corn with parsley or some type of greenery on it ... I threw that mess in the garbage. I should have went with my first mind and went to Wingstop ! $16 down the drain never again

    Hot Honey Butter Chicken Sandwich
    Niyaaa D.

    This spot was tasty and welcoming. The hot honey chicken sandwich was delicious. It was crunchy and moist. They offered a variety of different heat levels too! The best thing on this menu besides the sandwich was the grilled elote corn. It isnt your typically elote corn. This was amazing 100/10 recommend. I didnt have any problems with this place. Definitely deserves 5/5 stars! The service was great. As soon as you walked in they greeted you, which was welcoming :) I absolutely loved the atmosphere of this place. Its well decorated but not entirely too much, it's just right. :) :)

    So I came here when they first opened and the staff was really nice and welcoming! Elote-very good Chicken tenders- good Mac and cheese-made a mistake and threw it away and never had a chance to taste it Sauces- don't remember what they were but they were good Teas- so refreshing and good Chicken sandwich- gave me fat sandwich and I was disgusted I took it in and they replaced it, but my mental was forever changed from the fat sandwich

    I was really excited to try this place, but it was mostly hype. The food was ok. I probably will not go back.

    I came here because tiktok named this Harold's number ine in Chicago and I just had to see because…read morethe one on 87th and state is the best to me. I got there and its your typical Harolds. Im standing at the window for like 5 minutes because I dont think the casjier could see me because the window is covered up with so many signs they can barely see outside. I think a car came thrue this building because they were missing a wall. Im not sure but anyway when I finally got to order my food, of course you have to try the chicken. So on thr plus side it was not busy and I received my takeout quick and sadly there was no place to sit and eat so i had to eat in my car.. Upon first glance, it looked delicious, everything was hot and fresh. Chicken was crispy and delicious. The fries was crispy and they even thru in an extra wing. I could have use a bit more mild sauce but it was not that drastic for me to complain. Taste wise it taste like every other harold... personally it comes into second place for me after 87 and state or tied... Either way I was not disappointed and neither would you

    This has always hands down been my favorite Harold's since I started driving in 2000. I always tell…read morepeople to go here. No matter what time of any day, this Harold's has NEVER failed me. Unfortunately today, I was highly disappointed. I ordered 6 wings with mild and hot and the wings were awful tasting. They were really dark, the fries were undercooked, and the sauce was completely different from what I've always had (not good). I understand that change could be good but whatever changes they're making here is a bad decision. It's unfortunate because the cost of food now a days, I cannot support this location anymore due to this bad experience. I'll be sure to tell others of my experience today as well. Sorry!

A few pieces of shrimp & two tenders. It comes with a biscuit, side & drink. The flounder filet is monstrous for just $6. There is an enourmous amount of spicy mayo on it as well which is totally unnecessary. Just spread a small amount of mayo with a butterknife...don't take a ladle & put the sauce on like it's a pizza. Nothing was bad, but the amount of mayo on the fish sandwich was off-putting. When you open the bag & there's sauce all in the bag, that's a problem.

When i got up there, the door was locked. They were having some type of meeting and they " were" not letting customers in the restaurant. I , at that point , called them on the phone, and they Said they would bring the order to the door. I waited, outside in the cold , patiently. 10 or 15 minutes went by I was freezing, and finally i saw one of the workers taking another order out to that person's car. I flagged him in his way back - in, and notified him about my order, and in a few minutes he brought out. I felt like they treated me like a dog who was trying to get free chicken, after I paid my hard earned mone. Popeyes has horrible customer service and sometimes horrible chicken.
