THERE'S A NEW CHICK'N TOWN…read more I'm not vegan or vegetarian. I love my meat! Honestly I eat everything from seafood to steak to vegetables. I don't play favorites. It's all about balance and moderation when it comes to my meals. I've not been a fan of fake chicken breast because it never tastes right. I'm was really blown away by Skinny Butcher Crazy Crispy Chick'n! These chicken sandwiches really taste like chicken. The breading on the outside is crispy and the sandwich bite is fantastic. I'm truly amazed at how fantastic these plant based chicken sandwiches tasted. We ordered the Original Chick' Sandwich, Buffalo Chick'n Sandwich and the Chick'n Parm Sandwich. All of the sandwiches came on a potato roll. Which is honestly the best roll ever made. It's soft and absorbs all of the flavors. It's the perfect bun for any sandwich. The Original Chick' Sandwich comes with a mayo sauce and pickles. The Buffalo Chick'n Sandwich has a mayo based blue cheese sauce plus pickles. The buffalo sauce is really tasty with just the right amount of kick. This sandwich was definitely my favorite. I truly loved the spicy kick. I thought I was eating a real chicken sandwich. I also needed to try the Chick'n Parm Sandwich. Hey I'm Sicilian! Let's put this place to the rest. It was fried golden brown and topped with marinara sauce, oregano, fresh basil and melted mozzarella, provolone & parmesan cheeses. My Nonna would have thought this was a fresh real chicken breast. I highly recommend all of the plant based sandwiches here. They also have waffle fries! It's been since forever since I had waffle fries. I loved how tasty they were. It reminded me of being a kid. I'm not an expert when it comes to plant based food. I just want my food to taste good and not be filled with chemicals. They advertise that the plants used in this chicken are pea based and not soy based. That seems really important but I'm too lazy to search my web browser for more info. If you know the answer sent me a message. I'd love to know. Yes I'm giving you homeowner to do in my review. It's all about interacting on Yelp. This location is very unique. It is a ghost kitchen located in a Wow Bao on Clark and Diversey. You can order through Grub Hub or Uber Eats for delivery or pickup. I decided to pick it up because I didn't want my chicken sandwiches getting soggy, as they toured all of Chicago on their way to my house. Pick up was super easy. When I walked into Wow Bao I told the guy I was here for my plant based chicken sandwiches. He chuckled and immediately knew who I was. He then asked for a few minutes, as the chef in back finished building them. Plant based food is not a replacement for real meat. It's meant to help feed our planets growing population. If it can lesson the footprint, then I'm all for it. I really don't miss the meat at all, especially when it tastes this good. So if you're looking to go meatless, then this is your place. The sandwiches are solid and I highly recommend you try the Skinny Butcher because his chicken is crazy good.

The staff is famously surly, and that's clearly part of the experience, so if you know that going in it adds to the fun. It's more playful than serious and definitely gives the place its own character. I also thought it was cool how they give out free dogs after Bears wins. That kind of generosity and local spirit makes it feel like a true neighborhood staple. Definitely a memorable stop and one of those places that feels uniquely Chicago.

1 Star - Absolute Dump, Do NOT Go…read more Went to this so-called "hot dog joint" last night and what a complete waste of time and money. The fries were super saggy and limp, like they been sitting in old grease for hours. Tasted like cardboard soaked in week-old oil. The hot dogs? Forget it. Way over-salted, tasted like they dumped the entire salt shaker on them. The buns were spongy and smashed all over the place, looked like someone sat on them before serving. Everything was just sloppy and gross. Service was terrible too. The guy at the counter acted like I was annoying him by ordering food, no smile, no "thank you," just threw my bag at me. Whole place feels like a dump. Save your money and go somewhere else. Never going back. On top of that they all have TDS

They have 2 locations on the north side, this one didn't have that great of parking like the W Armitage location but you can probably park in the lot across the street like I did (I went during afternoon when wasn't as busy). Apparently, they are cash only but I think they have an ATM on-site. If not, I would just order online through GrubHub, it doesn't change wait time or anything. I ordered a Double Cheeseburger with fries and soda. The service was fast and the prices were great. Now if you asked if the quality matched, I would say absolutely. The smash burger had the right amount of sauce, perfect char, wasn't cold on the inside. The fries are fresh cut from potatoes in the back, and you can really tell during presentation. I would next time see if I could try their cheese fries as they have that upgrade option as well. My overall rating of my meal is 9.4/10 This is up there for some of the best fats-food burgers I have had, up there with staples I really love like In-N-Out burger. I would recommend stopping by if you are in the neighborhood, is good to support a Chicago local chain like these especially for the value you are getting for the price. $11 for an amazing burger, fries, and soda is something you don't see everyday.

Really your top 5? What can I say different strokes for different folks. I ordered trouble cheeseburger. Red Hot Ranch has a decent Smashburger but nothing I would put in the top 5 burgers in Chicago. I'm not sure how or why he rated this burger so high? The prices was certainly reasonable. I got a double cheeseburger w/tomato, lettuce & a sauce that looked like thousand island dressing w/pieces of onion & fries for $8 plus change. Good price point, decent burger but sorry to say not in the top 5 for me. I realize food tasting is subjective to your personal taste.

I ordered the ice cream on my mobile app,and once I reached the store, the server said their ice cream machine wasn't working, and offered cookies instead. We didn't get any sauce in our orders with the burgers, so we requested for a ranch sauce and the server's face seemed as if we were asking for some money out of his pocket and said we'll have to pay extra. But he didn't care for the fact that we had to settle for cheaper cookies instead of the ice cream which seemed a bit odd, as I haven't experienced such an attitude in any other BK in the town. The store itself is clean and the parking space is ample.

It's one of the best places to get top tier cultural flavors. The location is perfectly central, approachable, but authenticly local. Decor is as you'd think a beef shop in Chicago to be, service is a little more on the cheerful side due to the Greek influence. Prices are on par with dining in the area for quality Chicago. My go to order is the Italian Combo with a gyro platter to snack on the sliced meat and fries. My 2nd fav order is the Big Daddy burger (tsaiziki and bbq on the side) and a Maxwell Street Polish giving you a bit of everything Chicago. Usually places evolve to the changing wants of the neighborhood, but they sell Greek and Italian equally well. They have always done beef tallow, and it's a shame they have to mention it becuase the rest of the world went away from that when they didn't. Great fries, and a good amount per order. I have yet to try the salads, but it's hard to wow people with them when it doesn't say Salad's in the name... The beef is tender (gyro, roast beef, burger), well seasoned, rendered. The breads are toothsome, soft, crunchy, chewy. The sauces and condiments are crunchy, smooth, blended and balanced. The pizza puff is another far less known Chicago staple for the picky eaters, they also have chicken tenders for the kids. All in all it's a 1st rate stop off for all things Beef and all things Chicago.

It was a little over $13 for just the sandwich, which is kind of pricey, but it's big and you could probably split it with two people. I would skip the fries. I think a small portion of fries was a little over $4, and they were just average.
