Uncle Remus SFC - 47th Street

Fried Okra was horrible, nothings inside the batter. The chicken wings were pretty good. I traveled some miles to check this place out because it was featured on a television show. I won’t be going back. I arrived around noon and place was empty.

I grew up on the westside I always like Uncle Remus chicken especially the sauce. I was shocked that it was one on the Southside .The place wasn't as busy but they did have alot of door dash orders. I got mix pan chicken wasn't over cook and the sauce was good. I didn't know the rolls didn't come with pan.

Chicken was fresh and VERY good. Taste much better than the other locations I've been to. Chicken is cooked to order. I prefer with no sauce, so I can put the amount of sauce I want on the wings. Fries and cole slaw are also good. Prices are a little high, but chicken is worth it. Manager, K.D., was super nice when I called and made sure everything was right.

This is the third time that I have ordered from you all and I consider myself on a yours regular. Your fish was not cooked. It was right and the chicken was over cooked last time. I ordered the fish from you all it was nice hot and melting your mouth this time. It made me sick on my stomach and the chicken was overcooked. The fries was decent, whoever you had just cooked on Saturday February, the 22nd should know how to prepare food much better than this.

I so hate to share this review. So I live in Aurora and after church service I would periodically stop here but the last couple of times I've been disappointed. The food does not taste the same and I understand they fry the chicken - fish and everything else in fish grease. This time the last of fish on my chicken was strong where felt really sick. 🤢. The prices have gone up sooo much to the point I realize now paying these prices and trying to contribute to black business is not worth getting sick. Hope they do better with the prepping and cooking of food.

The catfish at this place is excellent, its flaky and the batter is just a light cornmeal coating. Dip into that hot sauce for heat and zing. Their wings are also very good. The batter is crispy and crunchy, kerping the meat moist and hot. Again, dip it in that hot sauce. I was disappinted with the fried okra. The batter was too dense and not able to taste the actual okra. Just tasted like breading. A lighter tempura-like batter and okra stalks (instead of coins) would be a vast improvement.

Apparently, Harold's Chicken has a Westside rivalry with Uncle Remus, so being a South-Sider, I had to check it out. First time ordering takeout orders. Placed an order online and got a text when my order was ready. I ordered two tray meals (dark meat only), two orders of French fries, 6 rolls (split in 3's on the trays), two large coleslaws, and two slices of chocolate cake. The chicken was good and fried fresh, same for the French fries. Really liked the sides. It was a bit pricey for only two people, but we did enjoy the food and had leftovers. Customer service was nothing special, but I would order this once in a while and would recommend trying it out to others. As far as the rivalry goes, I think both chicken places are good, but Harold's Chicken is hard to beat. 👌🏽👍🏽

Uncle Remus on a good day beats Harold’s. The turkey wings are massive, coating is crispy with a great mild sauce filling in the crevices. Fries and okra are great too. Note to the (amazing) chefs - the breasts can easily be overdone and get dry
