The burgers themselves are top-notch, great blend, cooked perfectly, and packed with flavor. The drinks are also excellent, with a solid variety to pair with whatever you order. The staff is always friendly and attentive, which just adds to the experience. It's a place that clearly puts thought and creativity into everything they do, and it shows.

They have different appetizers and things but not a super extensive menu Do not let these things deter you tho. They're just facts. This place was pretty delicious. Mac n cheese was (I think) the best I've had from a restaurant in a while. I love the type of fries that they pair with the burgers, they were fresh & not too salty. Our burgers were also very good. Apparently they have a new burger/dessert of the week each week so those items do change. They looked like they'd have good drinks too, I'd definitely come back to try. It can be a bummer that it's not a place where you can eat, drink, then hangout a bit so don't expect to be allowed to sit for too long. Service was also very nice

The menu is extensive with plenty of options and the space is very welcoming (though not very large). Our server came and we ordered drinks but then didn't come back for a while. We finally ordered but when food and drinks started coming, the timing was all over the place. Two meals didn't come until at least 20 min after the rest and the majority of us were done eating by this time. The one meal that took the longest was a side of scrambled eggs! The quickest thing to make out of all of our orders. Price wise, the spot was reasonable but with the service I'm not sure how fast we'll be back.

Always searching for new restaurants (to us) in the area and came about the Chew Chew. We were…read morefortunate enough to be there during their Mardi Gras celebration and got to try unique Cajun type dishes. We started with the Hurricane Punches to drink - but they were a little too sweet for our liking. For food - we split the Red Fish Tacos and the Shrimp / Crab Cakes. We loved both dishes - me more so the crab cakes and my husband more so the tacos. I would highly recommend both - if they're on the special menu again! For dessert we split the Banana's Foster. The dessert was fine - had all the components that melded well together, but completely melted by the time it got to our table - so it was like a soupy ice cream. Still good - but I'm sure would have been better in a "gel" form! Overall - I would go back.

Mashed potatoes were a little dry and the gravy looks kind of funky, but actually tasted pretty good. The chicken was slightly dry, and the breading isn't as good as it used to be. I feel like they need to change the grease in the fryer or something. There are plenty of other better chicken places so unfortunately this is why I haven't been there in a while probably. The service was very good and quick. The inside was just as I remembered small clean with old-school pictures.

That being said, some friends of ours here in Chicago bet they could take me to Joliet, Illinois (some 30 miles outside of Chicago) and share with me the best fried chicken I've ever had. This sounded like a pretty heady challenge, so I could not refuse. Enter White Fence Farm here in Jolliet, IL. I'm going to call this place a restaurant / museum: A restaurant #1, as (yes it did) have the best fried chicken I've ever had - hands down #2, a museum as this place had old cars, old appliances, old tchotchke's and decorative souvenirs and nicknacks from the 1920's, 30's, 40's to the present - it was crazy! I've never seen anything like this ever. I was in awe!!!!! But, yes, you come here for fried chicken. There are a few other choices on their menu, but no, you come here for the chicken. They automatically include 5 or 6 side dishes like coleslaw, marinated beets, cottage cheese, potatoes and a kidney bean salad; and here's the rub - you can never run out of any of these side dishes. They keep on replenishing them. And they were all insanely good???? But, back to the chicken - it was light as a feather, juicy as hell and absolutely delicious. All of my above locations sited in this review had delicious fried chicken couldn't hold a candle to White Fence Farms, chicken. Not only was our dinner fantastic, but the walk-around this crazy museum was like a walk down memory lane. I don't think I enjoyed any meal this much since I moved to Chicago three years ago - PERIOD!

It's got that classic Chicago fast-food feel, the kind of spots that have been around forever, but this one looks a bit more modern, colorful and cleaned up. Staff was super friendly and helpful. We just wanted something quick, so I went with the double cheeseburger and fries. The burger was loaded. Two patties, cheese, and all the toppings. Not just the usual onions and pickles either, this had lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard, ketchup... the whole thing. Honestly, everything I want in a burger. First bite, super juicy, really flavorful, and it still had that nice char on the meat. Fries were those hand-cut style, a little uneven, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was really good, Left satisfied. I'd definitely be coming back.
