    This restaurant has a delicious menu. I tried the honey butter chicken that was mouthwatering and the sloppy fries that has a layer of Mac n cheese and I choose to add chicken. It was my favorite! The restaurant has comfortable searing and tvs around to watch games. Very clean and the staff was friendly. Definitely recommend

    Food was delicious! Portions are perfect, and they definitely don't skip out on the fires lol

    Located behind the coffee shop MOTW on Main Street and Maple.

    My husband and I have been wanting to try Rude Rooster since they opened and finally made it. We each ordered the 3 piece chicken tenders combo and an order of cheese bricks. The cheese bricks are homemade and the breading is so light and crispy and the cheese is one of the best mozzarella I've tasted. The chicken tenders breading was light and crispy and the chicken was moist and tender. They are very generous size. Huge order of fries. Coleslaw was cold crisp and delicious. Love the rude sauce. Like the vibe of the restaurant. Tables and chairs, very comfortable. The decor gave an urban feeling and welcoming. Service was great. Owner came out and talked with us. They also have smash burgers which we are going to be back to try.

    I've been meaning to try Rude Rooster and finally got around to it. The parking lot is narrow and tight, with one entry lane and one exit lane, so keep that in mind if you come at a busy time. It's in the same strip mall as Kebab Bey and MOTW. The interior of Rude Rooster is fairly big and looks decent. I like how they have a huge menu posted right up on the wall before you reach the ordering counter, so you don't have to look up and behind the counter. Their menu is similar to other hot chicken places, with tenders, fries, sandos, etc. I ordered a 3-tender combo with mild heat level. It included fries, toast, coleslaw, and Rude sauce. The tenders were generous in size, but a bit on the chewy/tough side. The fries had a very tasty seasoning. The toast was decent, and the coleslaw was tasty. The Rude sauce had some kick to it; definitely not as sugary as the orange sauce at other chicken places. I will say, too, that the mild version at Rude Rooster has a little more kick than the mild version at other chicken places. Overall, it was an enjoyable meal. Not the best chicken I've had, but not bad. Pricing was on par with other chicken places and service was not rude.

    Rude Rooster in Lombard is a great new spot for Nashville-style chicken, smash burgers, and southern sides. I really loved the corn riblets and the chicken wrap. The food is halal and made fresh, which makes it an easy choice. The only downside is that the parking lot is small and shared with an apartment/condo complex, so it can feel a little unclear whether you'll be towed. Otherwise, the service is friendly and the atmosphere is sports-trendy, clean, and I left already planning to come back.

    Chicken tenders and smash burger

    Shoutout to Rude Rooster for making tasty burgers and chicken! I surprisingly liked the burger more here. And that's no knock on the chicken. The fries were nicely seasoned as well with a hint of cilantro. A very cozy restaurant space as well. Will definitely come back here!

    Deep fried corn. Yum!

    Great hot chicken sandwiches! The mozzarella bricks are solid hot chicken spot that opened near the Lombard area. Definitely a must try.

    Hard, flavorless chicken. Got sick from it, stomach felt sour for days. Don't recommend.

    The rub on the chicken had a foul taste to it. Chicken itself was moist but just tasted weird- could not finish it.

I had a medium soft serve cone and it was HUGE!!! The soft serve was so smooth and creamy. This was a great stop. I can't wait to get back and try out some other goodies! Great service, great ice cream!

    Okkkkkkk. I have high standards for ice cream, especially when it comes to my dipped cones…read more The zero ice is fast and friendly. Everyone working there genuinely looks like they like working there. They're kind and give suggestions. They understate how large everything is, but that maybe a good thing so they could up sell. The negative experience for me was that I was aching for a sprinkle dipped cone. I got a large ice cream and dipped. It turns out it's hard to dip a cone that is beyond large (I was told it was going to be smaller which is why I ordered the L, but that's ok). The dude that took care of my cone tried real hard to cater to my needs, which made this a better experience, but if you grew up with a dipped cone, then you know the lively taste of a dipped cone. The flavor of the soft serve was good too, but it didn't have the smooth consistency I was looking for. It's hard to explain what I'm trying to say...it could've been smoother. I'll try this place again with a smaller cone, but everyone enjoyed their cones. You could get different varieties of dipped and sundaes. They also have hot food and I want to try that out.

    What a delectable little ice cream shop! (I shouldn't say little, it's definitely medium-sized, but…read moreyou catch my drift) Kimmer's is such a cute pink ice cream shop, with classic black and white tile flooring for that old timey feel. It doesn't get more local than them. With a plethora of unique ice cream flavors to pints to bring home to, they really have got all an ice cream shop needs. I especially love their Parent Trap flavor which is cookies 'n cream with peanut butter. I love that you can add toppings too like sprinkles, m&ms, chocolate chips, and much more. It's all super customizable. They also have some gluten free and dairy options which is nice. The staff has always been super friendly; it's usually a younger crowd of workers who are very personable and sweet. I always feel welcomed walking in. I've been to their Wheaton location which is a hit, too, and I do really love this Elmhurst location nestled in downtown Elmhurst. They also have unique daily specials which I saw in-store like their sparkly Wednesdays where you receive a free sparkle cone upgrade if you wear sparkly clothing. On Mondays you get double punched on your loyalty punch cards for scoops only. Super fun! You already know I'll be back. What a great ice cream shop!

They had the perfect amount of creaminess and sweetness, and the pumpkin flavor especially reminded me of fall. I really liked their outdoor dining area. You're surrounded by beautiful, elevated planters filled with flowers, which makes the space feel very inviting. I also appreciated that they use metal spoons for sampling their ice cream instead of plastic. Such a nice, eco-friendly touch! Great service, too! The only downside is that if you're unfamiliar with the layout of the mall, the shop can be difficult to find from the parking lot. My GPS kept telling me I had arrived, but I was still in the parking garage! Jeni's is actually a couple of floors above where I was. Other than the parking situation, I definitely will be back to try more of their flavors!

The employees were patient and kind. The inside is beautiful with plenty of seating, but since it was such a gorgeous day I opted to sit outside. And of course the ice cream was delicious. I got the butter cream birthday cake and the honey vanilla. Truly tasty. I'm happy I finally caught up with the rest of the world and discovered this gem at Oakbrook!
