"Chkn-Box, a casual fast food spot from WGCI DJ Mike P, opened in late January at 400 S. Financial Place near the CTA’s El stop at LaSalle/Van Buren, according to the Tribune. Patrons can expect a tight menu of chicken tenders with fries as well as several sauce and seasoning options (think spicy Buffalo, lemon pepper, and mild sauce). It’s all conveniently served in a shoebox — a historical practice for some Black Americans, who during the Jim Crow era were barred from train dining cars and often faced overt bigotry from restaurant owners when they traveled. Their solution was the shoebox lunch, an affordable meal cooked and packed at home, ready and waiting when hunger struck." - Naomi Waxman

We went to visits the tower formerly known as Sears and stumbled upon this great find. Within walking distance of the Willis tower! A tiny store front that packs plenty of flavor!!! The home made pezy juice was amazingly flavorful and refreshing. The hot honey which was recommended by the cook was so good I had to stop by for seconds on my way home.

I can honestly say the wings were delicious. I like small wings, so I was pleased with the size of the wings. The fries were fresh and hot. I had the 24 gold and the hot honey, and both were delicious. I also tried the tenders, and those were my least favorite. I will be back again just to see if they're consistent with the flavors and the freshness of the food.

Food was fantastic and cooked to perfection. The chicken wings are flavorful inside and out. The hot honey sauce is to die for. I literally have only great things to say about this place. The staff were pleasantly nice and the cook helped me decide on best options for me based on my palate. Overall, I highly recommend Chkn Box! Can’t wait for more locations around Chicago.

First time visiting Chkn Box Chi- I was in the neighborhood and decided to stop by. The owner, Mike P was outside and very pleasant! One word: FYE! Delicious! I ordered Fake Nuggets w/ Peezy Juice (breaded cauliflower) & fries; hot honey sauce & lemon pepper. - worth the money 😋. I’ll be back! Nice vibe, small stand-up dining area, good customer service!

Nice concept. A lot of hype due to the owner. Saw some of the cast from The Chi while waiting for my food. I know it is downtown so it will be pricier than if it wasnt. The chicken did seem like they were frozen tenders from costco or sams club. Some of them were more breading than actual chicken. 3 tenders & fries will probably not fill you up and might make you feel like it wasnt enough for $12. Still too new so it can only improve. Will check it out again in the future to see if any changes are made to what I thought were areas if improvement.

I took a train and a bus and it was worth it. I had the 4 piece lemon peppa steppa with the peezy drank. They need to start mass producing that drink. If you go, please get the drink! The mild sauce… hate to say is even better than Harold’s.

Neutral about it. Things to keep in mind if you’re visiting there is no indoor dinning area we went to a nearby food hall. TikTok shows wings but on their actual menu only lists tenders. I bought the flight, runs a little over $20 with tax.
