Fry the Coop Quick Review

[jason05gt]

They're opening a new store in Darien on 75th and Fairview Ave (Old Steak & Shake).

 

[greasy]

The Nashville sandwich comes with some sort of sauce on it. Not a hot sauce, more of a blackened ranch or something.


I used to love Fry The Coop, but they're expanding too quickly and it seems like the quality is suffering. The last few times I've had it, it wasn't like it used to be when it was just the one location in Oak Lawn.

Just went there last week for lunch, food was on point and delicious. Got the chicken tenders and waffles, waffles had bacon in them….so damn good! Been to both Elmhurst and Prospect Heights locations, never disappointed.

Went back tonight (for the first time since 2020) with greasy. Got the chicken and waffles (sorry the pic isnt totally in focus, I didnt catch that I had manual focus on). Went with medium and while Jim told me the medium was still going to be hot, it was not hot. It was fine but I should have gone with hot. Chicken was good but I still find it to be missing something, I cant figure out what. Waffles were great, but I didnt really get any bacon taste, despite bacon being mixed in.

TLDR: Next time, get hot.

Big want.

I wish I was man enough to ignore threads like this, now I must just keep getting fatter and eat the shit out of this.

Mook is in denial.

I literally have no clue how one can enjoy Poopeyes so much but this is just so so.

I enjoyed it! But something is missing for me.

Just based on the picture, that looks amazing. Do want. I live within 5 minutes of the Oak Lawn location and still have never tried it.

Terrible. I’m going to end up at this damn place too much, it’s close to work.

 

[radioguy6]

finally got to try the Elmhurst location. I ordered a nashville fried chicken sandwich with the crazy dry rub and seasoned fries.

The chicken was great, very moist and crispy. The crazy rub packed the heat, definitely cleared my sinuses but the creamy cole slaw, coop sauce and pickles countered and complimented that heat really well. Fries were just ok.

Will be back to try their insanity rub and those waffles

Has anyone tried Nashville hot chicken from Burnin Mouth in Lombard? How does it compare to Fry the Coupe? I've read and seen a few positive reviews.

Had Dave’s Hot Chicken last week. It wasn’t bad, I’d go back if I was in the area but wouldn’t go out of my way for it

 

[Pro Stock John]

I'm near a Dave's had a few times, I'd hit one up if it's on the way.

My son went to Honey Butter Chicken today on Elston by the Fire Station. He said it was phenomenal. I’ve been wanting to try it, but the line is always insane when I’m over there

 

[Pro Stock John]

Yeah I like HB quite a bit.

 

[Caleb515]

Been to Honey Butter several times and it’s always legit.

This is from a few weeks ago:

OG sandwich, biscuits and gravy and of course their muffins and honey butter ??

 

[Pro Stock John]

Been a while since I been at HBFC, but they used to have signs up telling folks not to grab tables until they had their food, something like that, seemed to work.

I want to try this place. It caught my attention when I was driving past it.

Went to Honey Butter a few months ago. It did not live up to the hype. Split two sandwiches and neither were great. I wouldnt go out of the way to go there.

SO MAD! haha

I love it
Honestly my wife would probably agree with you. We went to the prospect heights location a few weeks ago and it wasnt spectacular. Its not amazing but its good.
