Wow. We were blown away with how great this place was!…read more It seems like a good portion of their business is to-go, but we dined in recently and would happily go again. The portions are large (my burrito was giant!), the prices are competitive enough, the food is delicious, and the employees were all very nice. The space was very bright and clean. When you eat in, you're given chips and salsas for the table to start, which was a nice touch. Our meals (the aforementioned burrito and my husband's half chicken combo meal) took about 15 minutes to come out as everything is made to order. The chicken combo meal came with two sides (he went with the Mexican rice and beans), and also arrived with some grilled spring onions, a roasted jalapeño, and a full pack of locally made corn tortillas. Thankfully, it's 'help yourself' to-go containers because we definitely both ended up with leftovers. Afterwards, we were meeting up with some friends and immediately started recommending they check this spot out since they live nearby. We already can't wait to go again sometime soon!

Pollo Express is a family owned Latin American and Mexican restaurant that has been on my list for…read moreyears. It is known for its adobo-marinated grilled chicken. Immediately upon entering you can smell the chicken blended with Mexican spices. There is an open grill along the back wall with spatchcocked chickens laid out flat . We were greeted and seated and served chips with three varieties of salsa. I had the half chicken with two sides and my husband had the steak burrito. The chicken was excellent. It was so flavorful. The spices were blended so well and the chicken was tender and juicy. The burrito was massive stuffed with tender steak. The food was tasty and delicious. I definately will be back. Cash only is accepted.

Also, they ducked up my order last time and I don't notice until I got home. I called them and they were going to refund me, but I decided to drive back in and get it. They ended up comping the food that was missing and they threw in some more food that I ordered when there. It was their mistake and they did me right. I didn't ask for it but they did the right thing. They won my business. That's how you treat your customers.

This was my second time trying Cluck'n Wings, a newer spot in Ravenswood/Lincoln Square. I love…read morewings, and since they serve halal food, I wanted to check them out. I'm not halal myself, but I appreciate supporting diverse dining options. Ordering online was easy though pricy--my four buffalo wings with ranch were ready in 15 minutes and were just over $12 (before tip). Pickup was simple, the staff were friendly, and I even got a bonus fifth wing. There were a few tables inside, but I chose takeout. The wings were jumbo and meaty, but the heavy breading and sauciness made them soggy rather than crispy--just not my preference. If you like thick, saucy breading, you might enjoy them. The first time I placed a takeout order, I unfortunately got sick afterward. The owner reached out and genuinely wanted to make things right, which I appreciated. That's why I decided to give them another chance on my own time and dime and order the same exact meal--I believe a business should be judged by how it handles situations, not just by one-off issues, which can happen anywhere. This time, I didn't get sick! While the wings weren't my style, Cluck'n Wings has friendly service, easy ordering, and fills a niche. If you're looking for halal wings with a saucier, breaded style, it's worth a try.

The pancakes were fluffy with just the right amount of crisp around the edges. The chicken and waffles were perfectly crunchy and packed with flavor.

My brother got the shrimp and grits. I will say it felt like the service was a bit slow and we waited a bit for our food and even our drinks. Some people around us ordered the chicken and waffles which looked so good, it kind of overpowered what I was actually eating. It wasn't until I got home and ate my leftovers that I realized the breakfast sandwich was delicious. The egg was fluffy and the jam was yummy! My brother also enjoyed his food. We shared a side of Mac and cheese which I also thought was good. I would definitely return to try other things.

I came across Budlong Southern Chicken after discovering my favorite chicken spot relocated…read more From the moment I arrived the staff was friendly. She greeted us and didn't rush us as we looked through the menu. The inside of the restaurant is spacious and clean. I arrived closer to them opening so there were ample sitting available. Based on the inside they can accommodate a variety of group sizes. The vibe of the restaurant helped them get to five stars. They were playing a lot of classic 2000s music. For a moment I forgot I wasn't at a karaoke bar when a few of my favorites played. I ordered the mac-n-cheese & two drumsticks meal. I have a rule that I always order the mac-n-cheese if someone has it one the menu. Since I was dining-in a staff member brought the food to my table. The chicken looked delicious and the mac-n-cheese looked a little iffy. The chicken of course was delicious. It was a perfect mix of crispy and juicy. I was nervous to try the mac-n-cheese but I was blown away. It was a bright orange color so I thought it would give Kraft mac-n-cheese but it didn't. I ended up eating everything on my plate! Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by the food. I can easily see myself coming back when I'm in the area. It's a good vibe and the food was delicious.

Anyhoo... onto the lightly spicy fried chicken and honey butter biscuits. I catered 50 pieces dark meat and 30 biscuits and they were hit and still as delicious as I've ever had them, crispy, flavorful... all for $113.

They've always underestimated the time it took to make my larger order fresh fried, but I learned to adjust my expectations and plan for delays when I order from them.
