The BEST fried chicken in Chicago. I ordered the four piece chicken wings, with mild sauce fried hard! Perfectly fresh perfectly crispy perfectly savory! There is no place to sit so be ready to eat your food at home or in the car. The pricing is a bit up there, but it is worth it! read more

Really good chicken on the west side of Chicago. I wish that the service was better. I can see the host trying her hardest to please everyone. I placed my order at 8:30 PM and didn't receive my food until 9:53. This was a normal Friday. read more

A Gpan hot and fresh out the fryer what more can you ask for on a Friday evening. Dont forget to order rolls and a extra large fry. It's a chicken spot nothing to fancy, but the food is worth the drive everytime!!! read more

Uncle Remus - Gpan! - The image shows a takeout container filled with fried chicken pieces coated in sauce, along with two biscuits at the top and a side of sauce in a plastic bag on the side. The food appears to be from Uncle Remus in Chicago, IL, known for its fried chicken and distinctive mild sauce. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

So over time prices have gone up, I get it. As of this review they're charging $2+ per wing. Here is my issue: mini wings! I paid $12 for 4 wings and got 3.5 because one was super tiny. Some chicken shacks will compensate for the lack of size by adding an additional mini which is fair. Uncle Remus probably has the best sauce around so it's always a treat to have them but consistency is key. I don't like to feel cheated after spending so much for so little. read more

The chicken was fine. My husband ordered a 6 piece and we get back to the airbnb to dissidents he only got 4. I expressly requested light sauce and it was drenched. The Fish didn't seem fresh as the breading was peeling off as if it was reheated but not freshly fried upon order. Visiting Chicago Food was a big deal, and Uncle Reamus was given to me as a must try. I absolutely wasted $30 on this food. read more

I'm officially done with Uncle Remus chicken. I haven't been there in a year. They lack consistency in their food quality. I thought I'd give them another try after my last order a year ago wasn't great, I thought maybe they had a bad day. The Uncle Remus we loved back in the day is no more IMO. I also got food there 2 or 3 yrs ago for my cousin fr CA and I, and it was disappointing. I went last week and the chicken tasted 2 days old and refried, they forgot to put the roll in it, it took 25 min to get it (in person). It was a HUGE disappointment. The customer service is 2 on a 10 scale, staff acts so rude and unprofessional ‍. I don't know how they manage to stay open. Maybe their other locations are better read more

Here is a revised, unified version with the new details added and strengthened for clarity and impact: I tried to give Uncle Remus another chance, but once again my order was completely mishandled. The chicken tasted old, and the overall quality was nowhere near what it used to be. On top of that, the menu labeling is misleading--swai and catfish are two completely different types of fish, so calling swai "catfish" is inaccurate and unfair to customers. To make matters worse, I was supposed to receive shrimp with my order and didn't. When I called to report the issue, I was told to come back and pick it up--even though we're in the middle of a snowstorm. That's unreasonable and shows a complete lack of consideration for customer safety and satisfaction. The service was just as disappointing. I stood at the pickup window while employees stood around talking, ignoring customers waiting for their food. Uncle Remus used to be a West Side staple known for having some of the best chicken in the city. Unfortunately, that reputation no longer reflects the reality. I'm honestly embarrassed to say how far this place has fallen. Major improvements in food quality, accuracy, and customer service are desperately needed if they want to regain the loyalty of longtime customers. read more

I ordered delivery for chicken wings with mild sauce in the side yesterday. Same order for the third time in 2 months. First time - delicious wings but they forgot the sauce. Second time - delicious wings and they remembered the sauce. But this third time the wings were far from delicious AND they forgot my sauce again. I don't like being let down so I won't be ordering again. read more

You can't go wrong with Uncle Remus! Consistent product over the decades. Good taste and value. I live in the suburbs, but whenever I am in the area, I make sure to order a wing dinner to take home! read more

Uncle Remus is always tasty. Their sweet, mild sauce is like liquid gold. I ate off of their food truck recently, so I did not visit a physical location, but it was fresh and fast! I also love the crisp of their chicken; you can't go wrong. The service was nice. read more

This place has changed a lot since it was a hole in a wall where you didn't feel safe walking into. The food is still amazing. If you are looking for a hard fried chicken with good sauce this place is for you. This particular location has gone through a nice renovation and feels new. The service was quick and people were nice. It's good that they have started to update now allowing for online ordering. They are more than just wings but the sauce is what they are known for. Also the icing on the cake was just that. Their chocolate cake made me and my wife want to go back alone. read more

Uncle Remus - fried chicken wings and french fries - Chicken Wings Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

There's nothing much else to say about Uncle Remus that hasn't been said before. I have now been to all three of their locations and all I can say is consistency. They had excellent customer service at this location. They were very polite and got food done in the amount of time quoted. I ordered their G Pan special. You get 10 pieces of very delicious fried chicken covered in their mild sauce. It's a great deal for about $11. And then of course you also need to order some fries with mild sauce to get along with your chicken. The mild sauce is much sweeter than Harolds, but it doesn't over power the chicken. The chicken is perfectly fried, juicy and tasted very fresh. I've been coming to Uncle Remus for years and I don't intend in stopping anytime soon! read more

I placed an order in the Uncle Remus App for delivery. My delivery was scheduled at about 1pm. I got a notification that my order was complete and would be delivered by "DoorDash". At 12:45 I received another notification that my order was delivered. Well I never received the delivery. So I called the restaurant to inquire and the extremely rude young lady who answered the phone basically told me that once my order leaves their resultant that it's not "on them" and it is what it is". What? So I proceed to call the delivery company DoorDash. They were very helpful even though I did not place my order through their App. Unfortunately their driver basically didn't attempt delivery of my food and would not even answer their call when they tried to reach out. DoorDash contacted the restaurant not once but twice. Once to reorder the food and have another driver deliver and once again after Uncle Remus cancelled the second order trying to rectify the situation. So I contacted Uncle Remus again to seek a refund since I paid them directly and never received my order. At this point I'm speaking to a "manager"". Another rude experience. So basically he said that the order was refunded cause he no longer saw it in The system. This was a flat out lie! Because this morning I checked my bank and the full transaction cleared. There was not a refund on my account. Uncle Remus has been a staple In The community for years. It's unfortunate that the level of customer service is lacking when the customer was wronged. I never received my order PERIOD! What the resolution should have been is they go after DoorDash for payment and refunded my money. I've had to contact my bank to dispute a transaction where I didn't not receive what I paid for. This is unacceptable on so many levels. Lesson learned ... stop supporting these black owned businesses that refuse to take care of their customers when the customers have been wronged. read more

placing mobile order was step by step and spot on. i will use this from now on. The pick up was quick & easy. Chicken was fresh as always.

Amazing chicken. Always consistent. I love grabbing a grab pan when in town. Recommend the grab pan with fries and extra sauce!

I was told this place had good food so this evening, I decided to make the travel. Not sure if the cashier was overworked or overwhelmed but her service wasn't nice. The cook didn't seem to have a sense of urgency being that there were a lot of people waiting. My 15 minute wait time ended up being 35. Like another customer, I got a refund and left. read more

I Love Love Uncle Remus!! Having grown up on the west side of Chicago, this became my FAVORITE spot for delicious, hot, crispy fried chicken. Now that I live an hour 1/2 outside of Chicago, I make it a point of grabbing some Uncle Remus whenever I'm in the city. Note, they no longer accept phone orders. You must order and pay on line. No problem there. My issue with yesterday's visit was, #1 I ordered okra.....they didn't have any!! # 2 the chicken was hard and dry!!! It looked as if it had been previously cooked then refried to warm it! Talking about livid??? I was totally disappointed!! This is unacceptable. PERIOD I was already on the highway headed home when I realized I had been served garbage!! Total waste of my money. The sauce was salvageable because it was on the side. read more

Uncle Remus - Over cooked fried chicken!! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I ordered the chicken wings with mild sauce the food was delicious and freshly cooked

Uncle Remus was at a food truck festival in my area. There were about 16 trucks but they were the best food and service by far!!! We started with tenders spicy and mild. The mild sauce is sweet and just sour enough to make it right. The spicy won my heart. It made your nose run but didn't burn your mouth. We ended up going back for wings and catfish. The catfish was outstanding. How do they make that crust so crispy and flavorful. May I also add that their prices were more than reasonable. I would actually be okay paying more. And let me tell you about their people. Incredibly nice and accommodating. There were lines at all the trucks but this was the one worth waiting for. My only sadness was that they aren't here every weekend. I'm an absolute fan for life. read more

We just discovered Uncle Remus during the pandemic. Shame on us! We've been missing out! Their chicken deservedly is one of Chicago's Best! We had the 8 piece dinner. I think. Whatever we had, we were certainly sad when we finished! Will be supporting this business both in Chicago and in Broadview. read more

I am not from Chicago but my little friend wanted me to experience mild sauce chicken while visiting. Ordering was easy and the inside of the restaurant was very clean. Service wasn't all too friendly but I'm from down south we have more hospitality. Let's get into the sauce ... it's was very sweet to me to have the name "mild sauce" so I wasn't too excited about it being all over my food. BUT the twice-fried wings were fire!! From the batter all the way down to the bone the chicken was delicious! I promise whenever I come back I want the chicken with the sauce on the side because I do like the other chicken spots sauce better lol so I may have to mix the two together to create greatness. read more

This evening Rosa J., a.k.a., "Foodie in the Hood," was looking for for some fast food. She didn't do her food thang on foot like the usual manner. Instead, she had a ride with hubby's work vehicle and heard him venting about his annoying work day. Yes, I temporarily change my title to the "Foodie in the Hood" since I was visiting "Uncle Remus" on the Chicago west side, on the southwest corner of Central and Madison. Street parking wasn't difficult at around 1830 hour. There's a memo posted on Uncle R.'s front door to remind patrons NOT to park their vehicles at the lot where Lawrence's Fish & Shrimp is. Well, most people certainly didn't read it. The movie/mixtape seller dude stationing inside Uncle R.'s made the PA...your car will be "toed." As long as your get your parking situation straight like a bamboo, you will be on your way to some legit, nice, and saucy chicken and fish. There's no seating; it's a take-out joint. Visa and master cards are accepted with a government-issued photo identification. After a semi-long wait (approximately 20 minutes), our order was handed to us. While their hot sauce was great for the chicken, the BBQ sauce was delicious. I almost finished the entire plastic container by dipping the dinner roll with it. We ordered the 2-piece catfish combo and fish and chicken combo. For $17, I was SO full. By the way, each combo comes with a dinner roll and a side order of fries. The wait time could have been a bit more excruciating if there were nothing to entertain me. I saw the professionally-done promo video about the history of Uncle Remus, the local family business starting from zero to three (3) locations in Chicago. With that smooth jazz music in the background and a motivational/inspirational word between each chapter, it made the time go by rather fast. Of course, some guy came in and sold some squares. As soon as he came in and saw my white hubby, he commented "no well, fuzzy is here." In actuality, "fuzzy" wasn't here because I knew this Caucasian dude's day job! Whenever I crave for frying goodness and don't feel like fixing dinner at home, Uncle Remus will probably get my business if I'm close by, whether the "fuzzy" accompanies with me or not. read more
