Chicago's Chicken Shack Broadview

See, I knew when I walked in and saw that the only drinks they served were bottled water and cool-aid. This has to be good,and I was right. I had the sample plate wings, perch, shrimp, pickles, orka, coleslaw,fries, and a slice of white bread. Yep, I should have known 3 different cool-aids. Yes, the cook throw down for me. I've tasted them all using the fries to cleanse my palette. Yep, it's good. No one dish overpower the other. I only peeked at the dessert enough to know where I going for my next cheat treat.

This was my first time here. The restaurant is beautiful inside. I ordered chicken wings and chicken sausage. The wings were super salty and that's the only season I tasted. The fries were old and hard. The chicken sausage was good, but overpriced. The kool-aid is just a cup of sugar. I do plan on revisiting to see if maybe that was just a bad day for the restaurant or if that's their norm to serve old salty food.

This business is one that I will continue to patron. The young lady at the cash register was so sweet and informative. She had product knowledge. I got a free drink because of the 5 year anniversary and it was CLEAN in there!! And the crunch on this chicken!!! Baby!!! Please don’t hesitate to come to this business! 5 stars!

The food is A1 the naked chicken and that sauces🥹🔥 my favorite go to. Fried pickels and sweet potato pie or banana pudding I stop in daily for. The customer service reminds me of home. Good conversations and family vibes.

I’ve seen this place for awhile and one day decided to try them. This was the best decision I’ve made when it comes to chicken and has become one of my favorites. Nothing less than great. I come here at least once a week to eat. The staff here have the best hospitality and cater to whatever you need whether you’re dining in or getting them to go. The food is fresh, the music is good and the prices are unbeatable. If you’re in the area and want home felt service and great food I highly recommend trying Chicago’s Chicken Shack. -Kwality

Decided to finally give this Chicken Shack a try. It's mainly wings and sides, so if you're expecting full/half chicken or thighs and breast you may want to look elsewhere. Now if you're looking for some chicken wings on steroids (not really they just look like they are) then this is the spot. They have a couple of flavors to choose from. I tried the lemon pepper which was a little under seasoned, but that's because I'm used to them being a little over seasoned. Fried okra and fries for sides along with shrimp and catfish as separate entrees. All orders are served with a side of coleslaw and a slice of bread, but the only give you one slice so if you need more don't forget to ask. Sauce is added to the chicken during preparation. If you're not into mild or hot sauce then I recommend letting them know when placing your order. All in all it was a good experience. Enjoy!

The chicken, shrimp, fish, were fried to perfection, and seasoned perfectly! The Kool-aid was perfect, just like old times (I got red 😂). The coleslaw was delicious and the sauces complemented the meal perfectly! I really enjoyed this meal. Bring this to Youngstown Ohio please!!

I just want to acknowledge Ambrose, Ms Liz & Ms Mary for having compassion & taking great care of my family during our time of bereavement on July 5, 2025. I had the pleasure of dining in months ago so because of the exceptional service, cleanliness of your establishment, quality & quantity of food we were pleased to order chicken wings & recommended white fish for a memorial service. Several of the quest wanted to know where did the food come from. We truly appreciate your additional contributions. With sincere gratitude & continued blessings on your business from Wayne Edwards & the Pledger family

The reviews were right! Listen, this is an excellent example of good, quality, customer service & food from a black owned restaurant! Friendly & knowledgeable staff & This chicken good than a mf bro! fr doe

Stopped in here while at a party down the street. The place is great. The food is great! The energy was awesome from the moment I walked in! I hardly ever tip for fast food, but the energy was so great I had to leave a tip!

Fresh ! Fresh ! Fresh! Not often you can catch a chicken spot that cooks to order... Well here is one, If ever in the Broadview area just west of 18th St on Roosevelt and don't mistake west of 18th St. stop by and some chicken or fish at the shack! You won't be di

I know this must be a prank! This is my first time ordering food from this restaurant. This tiny itty bitty cheesecake is $4.50! Wow! That is not a $4.50 worth of Cheesecake. Yes, it's good but it's a rip off! If you going to sell pie or cheesecake at your establishment you should consider adjusting the size of the dessert or lowering the price. If there was a picture showing the size of the Cheesecake I would not have purchased it. Consider adding a picture so us as consumers wont be bamboozled. I took photos to show the actual size of the Cheesecake. As you can see it's as big as a travel sized hand sanitizer

Spoiler Alert: Best chicken tenders I have ever had. It was a blustery evening - a light snow whispered around me as I got out of my Jeep in search of some fried chicken. Nothing beats fried chicken when it's cold and the snow is beginning. I walked into this place - lit up and inviting and crossed to the counter where the woman was helpful and explained everything to me. I - uncharacteristically chose tenders. I rarely eat tenders, but lately I have been seeing friends order them and I thought I'd try. They come with fries and lemonade. When she brought them to the table I was struck with how big they were as well as how fresh and crisp the fries were. I always have to ask for well done fries - I forgot to ask and these were perfect. The chicken was also fresh and perfectly cooked. There was no grease or greasy aftertaste. They were truly delicious. I was feeling good. The snow wasn't going to bother me. The lemonade was tart and sweet and balanced perfectly. All in all - this was a great introduction to a new place with amazing food and pleasant service. Get there. Don't be chicken.

Love this place! One of my favorite chicken restaurants in the western suburbs. Casual always clean and Service is always very professional. The owner does a lot of volunteering and supporting local youth so that's always a plus. The chicken is always hot fresh well seasoned it has always been just consistently good. Prices are decent.

Today is my first time visiting this place. The place is really nice, very clean and the lady that took my order was patient and nice, excellent service. The chicken was Delicious seasoned and fried just right. This will be my go to place when I want some good fried chicken.

The food is excellent cooked to your order.. the service is off the chain..nice friendly clean atmosphere

ok, kids. this one's for you... this chicken is OFF THE F'ING HOOK. damn. best chicken i've had since dooky chase in new orleans. it's a black-owned business with a convenient location. plenty of street parking and the owners are wonderful. and i'm not kidding - their chicken is amazing. crispy skin (even after a 20 minute ride home), most tender meat and perfectly seasoned. the okra is also amazing and the only drinks they sell are bottled water, homemade sweet tea, lemonade and three or four flavors of kool-aid. they have some great deals on mondays and tuesdays and we're definitely going back to try the chicken sandwich and fried catfish. the food is way too good to keep this place a secret. BEST FRIED CHICKEN IN CHICAGO. hands down.

I wanted to give a shout out to the closers of this establishment on 03/21, I'm so upset I didn't have cash on me and wasn't giving a tip option on my receipt!! I recently moved into the neighborhood and came across this place on Uber eats!!! Let me tell you the flavor and the food was on point and just simply amazing!! On 3/21 I called at 8:32pm they close at 8:30. The voicemail had already picked up but the worker went ahead and still picked up the phone he said we are closed but I'll still accept your order. It's been awhile since I've been meet with that type of exceptional service!! I ordered my food and picked it up around 8:45! I really appreciated the effort this man took and the cook for preparing my order!! Again the food was great the establishment had a great vibe! Please check them out when in the area or even if you're not it's worth the drive!! I can't wait to come back and try more things!!

Food: I ordered "my girlfriend isn't hungry" lol I think that's what it's called. 2 wings with fries! So fresh tasting and delicious. I promise I was eating like I never had fried chicken before lol also had the fried okra....THE BEST! Most places have frozen okra that are just tossed in oil yet I strongly believe these were not...just the way they were seasoned instead of that breaded stuff! My friend also ordered chicken along with fish and kool-aid! I will for sure be going back....for kool-aid and their desserts. The place is a really nice size for dining in. Customer service: great and attentive! They will bring the food to you when dining in! If you are in a rush I probably would call in first for a pick up versus doing a walk in. Not an annoying long wait...... but a wait yet the food arrived fresh and hot! While waiting the tv was playing some good hits along with Xmas songs!

The best chicken around! Always made fresh daily! The service is awesome! And the prices are reasonable!!! The owners are also great individuals that are Chicago natives! They have multiple locations!! The one in Broadview is the best, hands down!!

100% The Very best fresh fried chicken, fish and shrimp I've EVER HAD. Perfectly seasoned and nobody's gonna starve with their portion sizes. I've eaten at a number of them and each one has been exactly how I like it. They have excellent quality control so you ALWAYS know what you're getting and getting your monies worth!

I went here and ordered some wings. I love wings and they did not disappoint. Good size to the wings, fried just right (crispy), seasoned just right. Good job. (They claim they do not use any salt). Lots of room in the restaurant. A simple menu, but I like it that way when you excel at the items provided. Custom service was good. And since everything was good, "I Won't Complain" sung by Elder James Lenox (R.I.P.)

First let me say I do not like fish. I came here to pick up some for my son. I was headed to another place, but turned down the wrong street. I figured why not try something new...I'm game. Let me start with it was very clean! The employees all made it feel like you walked into your gmoms house. I ordered my food and patiently waited(perfection takes time). I got my order and walked to the car. As I got in the car, I started to smell the delicious aroma. I had to do it, I had to open the bag and taste a little...just a little... 5 minutes later... Me: standing at the register Cashier: is something wrong? Me: Um, no (wiping crumbs from my mouth as I whisper can I order another dinner please. Cashier: What happened?? Me: I ate my sons food. Needless to say, the fish was seasoned to perfection! Hot crispy and delicious!! I went back the next day...just to make sure. YEP! It's a winner!!

Fresh ! Fresh ! Fresh! Not often you can catch a chicken spot that cooks to order... Well here is one, If ever in the Broadview area just west of 18th St on Roosevelt and don't mistake west of 18th St. stop by and some chicken or fish at the shack! You won't be disappointed !

The newest & hottest restaurant in Broadview!!! They're known for their fried chicken, catfish, & shrimp. They are giving all the other businesses in the town a run for their money! Literally... The food is fresh and made to order. The prices are competitive for the area. THEY ARE BLACK OWNED!!!!!!! I enjoyed the food that I tasted at the grand opening and the owners/workers were AMAZING on their very 1st day with lines that were hours long. They handled everything very well. Im excited to see the long haul for the establishment. Please go support & check them out!!! Blessings to this business.

This is my first time going to this restaurant. The wings were very good, you get fries and coleslaw. The wings and fries were cooked to perfection, I did not need to add salt or pepper it was seasoned very well. It kind of taste like Harolds's chicken, I would say it's little better. The only reason I did not give it 5 star is the customer service was not very good, but I'm not there to make friends. Still good customer service is always a good thing. I would recommend Chicago Chicken Shack.

The food is really good. Hot, fresh, and is everything I hoped for. We ordered ours with hot and mild sauce which was served on the side rather than on the chicken. Next time I'll be more specific. I honestly liked this better than Harold's because in my opinion the chicken is seasoned better and can stand on its own while to me Harold's needs the sauce. I'll definitely try it again.

I ordered chicken wings and a small catfish dinner. I was extremely disappointed because I have heard only good things about them. The chicken was fried really hard and it was very dark, as if it stayed in old grease too long. It had a scorchy taste. The fish appeared to be fried in the same old grease. It was really hard on the outside but the inside was mushy. Maybe this was a bad day for the cook. But I know the cook noticed how hard and dark that chicken and fish looked and served it to me as well. I will not be going back.

The food is always fresh. Wings are my favorite and so is Chicago Chicken Shack. I grew up in the south side and Harold's is a fan fave of course. The Chicago Chicken Shack is my new fave. Very customer focused staff. Continue the good service.

I love supporting a local black owned business. But, this business will be a never again for me. I saw the 5 star reviews and was like ok I have to stop in there one day. Well today was the one day I came inside to order some chicken. I was on my lunch break and happy that I was the only customer. I placed my order a 4 wing dinner fries included. I told the lady to make sure my wings were fried crispy (no mild sauce on the chicken only mild sauce on my fries. She handed me my receipts and told me it would be a 20 minute wait. I went back to my car and waited until 20 minutes. Went back inside my order wasn't ready. I waited and waited. I was now getting frustrated and ready to get my money back. The lady kept telling me my order would be up shortly. It was well over the 20 minute wait time. I thought maybe someone had to run out and buy some chicken wings. I get my order and nearly ran out of this place. I should of checked my order before I left. The chicken wings were so small no mild sauce on my fries. Better yet NO mild sauce to be found. Forgot to mention the lady was unprofessional when handing me my food. Not one apology came out her mouth for the long wait. I can say the chicken was very well seasoned and the fries were nicely hot and seasoned. But the service here sucks. I rather go to Uncle Remus next door next time.

Placed an order, slight delay in the order, but the customer service was very good, compensated me for my time. Now to the food, HOTTT, CRISPY and FRESH. The food was excellent perfectly cooked. Delicious, better get you some!!!!

I have family that reside in Broadview and they have been talking about this new chicken spot. I was thinking Ok no big deal another one to add to the list, along with Uncle Remus and Como's. Fast forward I was in Broadview around lunch time and decided to give them a try. I called in to place the order. Ordered 4 orders of a 4 piece with wings. Every order was specific and different. I must admit I just new they were going to get something wrong, but they did not! Impressive. The wings were really good and seasonsed very well. I do not like my sauce on my wings and prefer to add my own so I opted for the sauce on the side and honestly I could of eaten the wings without sauce, which is very rare for me when ordering fried wings out. This is what I meant by cooked and seasoned very well. You can tell evey order is made when placed and they not just making big batches of chicken and have them sitting waiting to sell. Price point is comparative to most chicken restaurants. I also like the fact it's a black owned business. It's good to see minorities opening businesses that predominatly blacks patronize and servicing this demographic. I will be back to support them and hope they can sustain the food quality and provide great customer service - which will determine if they fly or fail. I'm rooting for them to fly...

Nostalgic Chicago wings my order was made to order and fresh I highly recommend this place mary went above and beyond 2 make sure I was accommodated great food from great ppl

This place is new and my brother wanted to try it. They were unorganized and wasted my time when I went in the restaurant to order. They said I had to order online. There was a QR code to scan which did not work nor did the website work from which they told me to order online. So I had to call them to place the order over the phone when I was just inside the restaurant and could have just placed my order then and there! I have also heard other stories from around the neighborhood about this place and some miscommunication. But it could have been an honest misunderstanding and the staff were not unfriendly, just a bit unorganized. The food was nothing special, I've had way better. We tried everything on the menu-which was not extensive. Fish, chicken, shrimp I think (fish and chicken for sure). We have not had the desire to return. But glad we tried this new chicken shack.

I tried the chicken wings with mild sauce, okra and sweet potato pie. It was all so good. The wings and sauce ratio was perfect. I can't wait to go back.

Chicken too salty, over cooked. I threw the chicken away. Charged me over $10 for four wings. I wanted to support this new black owned establishment but... nope.

Really good seasoned chicken, we love it here here and the staff is always nice. Also the fish is

The best fried catfish in city and I dare anyone to argue with me! I love this place! They have the best wings, catfish, fries and mild sauce I ever had. The restaurant is located in broadview and I live in Rogers park so it was a hike to pick my food and go home but it was still fresh when I got back! Highly recommend this restaurant and when you go you have to ask for Aramis, she's the best!

Prices good food a hit will be back. Make sure to get some banana pudding friendly staff and very clean

great chicken, well worth the wait for freah chicken to the order. very personable and friendly.

I was pleasantly surprised the staff was friendly the lobby was Clean and spacious I wish I could sit and eat.The chicken was seasons so well and the sauce was even better. Only downside was the chicken did take longer than I'm used to but it was cooked fresh and it was busy so I'm not going to Complain so the second time I called in first and that made it even better soon as I walked in my food was up!!

Chicken is a very busy Market but for a chicken wings to stand out the way that theirs did was amazing I love how it didn't take long to get my food, the customer service was very good they were very friendly and attentive, even though it was busy they did not forget about me which was great the owner was very friendly and introduced himself to everyone they follow all Covid rules and regulations. The inside and outside was clean to Perfection this is definitely my new spot for all of my chicken shrimp and fish needs . Keep up the good work you guys will be there forever and I can't wait for you guys to open up the Crest Hill location because that is right by my house thanks again great chicken

Heard about this place for a while and read reviews. Just know you can't always go off a review and I'm glad I gave it a try. Wings were a nice size bigger than I thought due to inflation. The shrimp also delicious which had this spicy flavor. The fried okra was amazing along with the spinach dip. Overall everything was great and will definitely try again.

Mannn this chicken is the best yet. I love some good, seasoned chicken. Doesn't need any sauce but the sauce is great! And not to mention, THE SHRIMP is OH-mazing

I drove from Elgin to Broadview and what a disappointment. The chicken had a smear of mild sauce on it and the sauce was not that good. A small catfish has only one piece of fish and the fish is not fresh. The fish is some type of breaded catfish . The food was really salty. The best part of the meal were the fries. I will be sticking to BaBa's the food is so much better. The food was not good enough for me to go back again. The pictures on the website must have been photo shopped . That is 2 hours of my life I will never get back. And 27.00 down the drain

I crave chicken wings with a crispy, tasty batter and moist meat. Look no further cause this is it. The outside of these wings is a complement to the inside. Get them while they are hot!

Amazing! I've eaten alot of catfish & chicken in my days & most of my life but to taste a chicken wannnng & catfish as I have at The Chicago's Chicken Shack in Broadview IL is something serious! Trevor Chicken King you're THE BEST...I dont know what you've done but continue doing it the taste & flavor is Great! I've hurt myself eating 3 times Lol Thanks Trevor! Very Unique

The catfish fillets were extremely good. I asked if it was real catfish, not that imitation Swai fish from Vietnamese river. Catfish from the Delta river, or farm raised in USA. I was told it was real catfish fillets. The fish was seasoned well, the fries were good, and the banana pudding was fresh and good. Thank you Judy for your service.

Have you ever been sleep and dream about eating chicken for lunch?! If not that's because you ain't never has this chicken before. The best I've had hands down! Chicken is always fresh and that sauce be calling me! If this is how crackheads feel over crack I can relate when it comes to this chicken

I have lived in Broadview since 1986 and haven't had chicken that tasted this good. All I have to say is DELICIOUS. They cook their food when you order so it comes out nice and fresh. The SHUCKLING STRAWBERRY LEMONADE excellent as well and the banana pudding so good. I am very pleased with my experience and will definitely be going back very soon. Thanks for opening up in my town.

The chicken wings are very good my family really enjoyed them I sent my son daughter-in-law they can't wait thank you Chicken shack for coming to Broadview we love our chicken. The hibiscus lemon drink is very very good my love sy

I have been following Chicago Chicken Shack on Social Media for quite sometime now. I finally made the hour commute to go try them out and I'm so glad I did. Let me start off by saying I am a big time foodie and always looking at new spots to eat. Fried chicken is one of favorite foods as well. You can tell the wings were cooked fresh and perfect, they were very moist and had the perfect amount of sauce and seasoning. I ordered 2 10 piece dinners for me and my wife because I'm used to some other spots where the wings are small, but this was not the case with Chicago Chicken Shack. The wings were so large that me and my wife only made it through one order. They were very generous with fries which were also great. The piece of bread was fresh and also came with a side of coleslaw which was perfect. I have been to probably every chicken spot in the city and you can definitely TASTE THE DIFFERENCE HERE! Unlike other chicken establishments, the young lady who helped me was very polite and professional. She thanked me for my business and I point this out because unfortunately that's not the case with other chicken places I have been to. Now I'm hoping that they bring one out south!
