This is an old-school, fried chicken place. The equipment is dated (and well-maintained), and the…read morelove of making the food is evident. We had been trying to get dinner at this place for a while, but carry out isn't something we can do without some planning. Fortunately, fate intervened, and we were able to plan for me to pick up two 4 piece dinners, and get it home on a cold, winter day. My wife called in the order ahead of time, asking for it to be ready by a specific time. My order was ready, right on time. A four piece dinner is comprised of two pieces of white meat, and two of dark, along with a good portion of fries, a vinegar based cole slaw, and a nice biscuit with a home-made honey-butter that made it taste really good. The chicken is hand-breaded for each order. The cole slaw is made fresh. The fries are made fresh. The honey butter is made fresh. FRESH. I know, what an odd concept in fast food where they mostly take pre-made stuff out of the freezer and put it into the fryer. This is real fried chicken. The sizes of the bird pieces are average (not Wal-Mart "average" which isn't average, but REAL chicken average), and were more than enough to make sure we weren't hungry afterwards. Some tips: 1. Turn the corner if headed eastbound, and park in the lot east of Lothson's. 2. The hours are the hours. This is a one woman shop, and they open for Dinner at 4:30 pm with the LAST ORDER taken at 7:00 pm. 3. Get there a few minutes ahead of schedule to pick up your order. 4. To avoid waiting too much, call in your order if you can. For "to go" dishes on a cold night like this was, the owner put a plate on top and napkins in the bag, and then stapled the bag shut. 30 minutes later after driving in my car home, the chicken and fries were still nice and hot. You want it hotter, put them in a cooler with no ice to better trap the heat. If you are local, you won't need to do this.

We sat at the outdoor patio bar where they had two screens playing sports games. We started with a John Daley & Huskie Punch. The punch tasted similar to a painkiller which is tropical and fruity. The John Daley tasted like it had more tea than lemonade but it was refreshing. For food, I got the Honey Garlic Boneless Wings. I loved the flavor of the sauce and the medium order came as quite a big portion. They were very crispy and well breaded. My husband got The Fat Boy burger with a side of their famous Cajun Fried Potato Salad and Baked Beans. The burger was juicy and flavorful. The potato salad wasn't too spicy but tasted delicious. I see why it's so famous! Overall, this was a great summer hang out spot! I was thoroughly impressed by the food quality and atmosphere Fatty's has to offer. I will certainly be back with friends!

Being just after the usual grazing time for him we found this establishment that checked all the boxes for the three of us. Outdoor seating as well as indoor seating was available, seat yourself style. We sat inside. The noise level was not loud at all. Perfect for table conversations. The menu had too many tasty sounding items. I chose the Fatty Melt with the Cajun Fried Potato Salad and Coleslaw. My wife had the Chicken Club Wrap with Onion rings and Beans (for me). The little had the 2 mini sliders with fries. Being family we share the sides and the onion rings were a hit. The number one treat in my book was the Cajun Fried Potato Salad. The bean had a good smoky flavor to them. Last but not least our server should get top billing in the review. Jordan did a fantastic job accommodating our requests and took the time to answer questions without feeling rushed. She made us feel more like a friend than a patron. Hats off to you Jorden! Thanks for making our visit enjoyable.

New day, new review…read more We hadn't visited in a while (time marches on) and I had a burning taste for the Dirty Bird. So back we went. The theme is still the same - CHICKEN EVERYWHERE! It's clear, and they love chicken. I mean they REALLY love Chicken! First off, they are FAST. They were very busy - almost every table filled and they kept filling after people left. After we placed our order, our chicken (two Baby Bird meals) came out HOT and FRESH within around 7 minutes. With my appetite, the Baby Bird is the right size, and I have a big appetite for their chicken. Service was great as well - our drinks were checked, and the server was very pleasant. What a great place to visit in Downtown Sycamore! The drink menu is still impressive, and they even have a Whiskey Acres Bourbon-infused barbeque sauce.

The restaurant is small but a decent amount of tables for the space with cute chicken decorations. Our server was so sweet and delightful. We ordered our drinks and answered all our questions. She was helpful with her opinions on items on the menu and helped make it possible to narrow down the difficult choice of what to order. My friend ordered the soup flight(only available in the fall) and I chose fried pickle burger. (I know a burger at a chicken place) the soup flight had three cups of the soups of the day and a four cup of the brisket chili. It also came with a grilled cheese sandwich. Plenty of food! My deep fried pickle burger was a thick patty, crunchy onions and 2 thick deep fried pickle chips with a dill sauce on top. The burger was juicy and the toppings were delicious with a little crunch. The Dirty Chicken will be a stopping point on my return trip to Sycamore!

This is what they gave me for $5, and they also messed up the rest of my order…read more I called BEFORE I came in and was told my order would be remade. The guy I spoke to was nice and agreed to fix it, and the lady on the phone said they were already making it. I get there, and that employee is gone. A different lady is in charge with a terrible attitude. She tells me she can't help me, then straight up says I'm lying about my wings being the wrong flavor. I ordered Louisiana Rub, I know what it tastes like and the wings were plain. She goes to the back, comes back, and offers me seasoning to put on the cold wings I brought in. That's not a solution that's lazy and disrespectful. I refuse, and then she comes back again and says they'll only remake 5 wings, not the full 10-piece combo they messed up (half Lemon Pepper, half Louisiana Rub). Completely unacceptable. This whole situation was a waste of my time and gas, and I had to deal with rude, unprofessional service on top of it.. I'm done with this location. I'd rather drive somewhere else than deal with this again. My advice go to any wingstop in the world but this one!

Worth the Drive - One of the Best Pizzas I've Ever Had**…read more If you're looking for authentic Neapolitan pizza, make the trip to **Iniga Pizzeria Napoletana** in DeKalb. It is, without question, some of the best pizza I've ever eaten! Every pizza arrives beautifully blistered with that signature airy, chewy crust that only a true wood-fired oven can produce. The ingredients are exceptional--from imported San Marzano tomatoes and creamy mozzarella to fresh herbs and premium toppings. Each pizza is handcrafted, simple, and absolutely bursting with flavor. Our favorites? Mais Pizza - sweet corn, creamy cheese, and just the right amount of char...unexpected and unforgettable. Hot White Pizza - rich, spicy, and incredibly satisfying. Pesto & Burrata - fresh, vibrant, and decadent with perfectly creamy burrata. San Marzano Tomato & Sausage - classic done to perfection. Sometimes the simplest combinations are the very best. The menu extends well beyond pizza with charcuterie, salads, gelato, desserts, cocktails, beer, and wine, plus gluten-free crust options for those who need them. If I had one suggestion, it would be to refresh the indoor atmosphere a bit. The food deserves an interior that matches its quality and creativity. The outdoor patio, however, is a wonderful place to enjoy a meal on a beautiful day. Brent as your server will take up another notch! And here's a bonus..Monday is half-price pizza.You'll probably find me there. Iniga doesn't just serve pizza--it delivers an authentic taste of Naples right here in Illinois. It's a destination restaurant that's absolutely worth the drive. Highly recommended!

It was a cold night in DeKalb, Illinois. However, it was nice and comfortably warm in Iniga's…read morePizzeria. We decided to drop in since it had just opened, and we wanted to see what they had to offer. If you look at the name "pizzeria napoletana" you may get the idea that this isn't Pizza Hut. It isn't. This is (according to my wife who has been to Naples in Italy) pizza the Napoletanese way. Thin crusts, interesting toppings, and different than mainstream American pizza. When we arrived we were promptly greeted at the door as we walked in, and given a choice of bar or dining room seating. We selected the dining room. Both areas were warm and comfortable, with the usual things in the bar (big screen TV) and dining room (art on the walls, nice tables and chairs, nice booths). We started with the Bagna Cauda, which was delicious. It seemed to be a little light on the garlic compared to my friend's version of the dish, but it was still good. It was served with bread, fennel, pepper and zucchini for dipping. It could have fed 4. For pizzas, my wife ordered their Margherita Verace, and I ordered their Puttanesca pizza. The Puttanesca had green olives, brown olives and white anchovies. The crust was very thin - so thin that I ended up cutting this with my knife and using my fork. I couldn't even fold it - the crust is very soft. I tried my wife's Margherita Verace, and it was similar in crust. It had lots of good stuff on it, and tasted good. Drinks were reasonably sized. I had a glass of wine which was fresh, and my wife after trying to order (and pronounce) Raganrok found that they were out of the sweet mead, so she went with a Negroni instead, which she said was quite good. The bathrooms were clean, but chilly in temperature. I hit the hot air hand dryer as I walked out in an effort to warm up the space. Clean, all fixtures worked, and well kept. The question boils down to this: Are you willing to experience pizza the way it was originally made - or not. If you are willing, you should try this place out. If you aren't willing - well, that's on YOU to change. You're missing a lot.
