Global Highlander: Great fried chicken sandwich (the original is slightly spicy, and the spicy is apparently very spicy), good coffee from Dark Matter Coffee, and a variety of donuts.

J L: "Sweet Heat" fried chicken donut sandwich and the original fried chicken sandwich made spicy are top-notch. Get both!
Kenney Marlatt: My favorite order is the spicy chicken biscuit sandwich with just pickles. The Nashville Hot is also excellent if you want more heat.
Bobby Kennedy: Spicy chicken is fantastic. Great biscuits, slaw and cobbler too. They fry to order so call ahead if you don't want to wait.
Taryn Goodge: This place has some of the best Fried Chicken in Chicago, easy. Their biscuits are heavenly, and the mac and cheese is incredible. Please try this place!
