Service was great, food was amazingly good. The chicken sandwich was delicious but the fried chicken was incredible. Probably the crispiest chicken I've ever had.
Absolutely powerhouse of a fried chicken sandwich, but don’t sleep on the sides either!I got the original fried chicken sandwich and unlike other establishments it actually has lettuce, tomato, and pickle, with mayo as well. Bun was soft, chicken was juicy, and for such an easy concept it’s kind of a wonder so many places mess it up - but not North Branch.The sauces were very good, the mustard was dark, vinegary, and very flavorful while the BBQ was more sweet than spicy it did hit the spot.The slaw was very good, cold, creamy, and crunchy. The cheesy potatoes were also super good, they’re like steamed and the heat melts the cheese on top.Very little wait time for me, like 6 minutes during lunch hour, which is fantastic.Overall, I strongly recommend North Branch Fried Chicken!
This is some of the best fried chicken in the city! Made to order, this was hot and juicy all in one bite. The breading was not too heavy but just right for that perfect crunch, but was not greasy. The sauces complimented the chicken. Also the cole slaw side was creamy and slightly sweet, definitely one of the best slaw ive had. Looking forward to trying their chicken sandwiches in near future!
Love this place! Definitely one of my favorite local spots. Everything I’ve had is delicious: fried chicken sandwich, pulled chicken tacos, fries, chicken tenders, buffalo chicken wrap, etc. North Branch Fried Chicken is a treasure.
My only regret was not coming here sooner. I've had this place bookmarked for awhile now and this place is just down the road from where I'm at. The place is somewhat unassuming, but look for the blue building, located just across the street from the Gladstone Park Metra train station. They mention that you can park in the parking lot of the John's Import Foods lot, right on Austin and Northwest Highway, but there was also plenty of street parking right off of Northwest Highway.North Branch Fried Chicken is a great place offering friendly service and just damn good fried chicken. The format is you go to the front counter, order, and then they bring the food out to you. The overall ambiance of the place was clean and simple. They had a TV showcasing the NHL Awards on that random night I went, and Red Hot Chilli Peppers playing on their speaker.I ordered the "Chicago Fried Chicken" sandwich, which consisted of mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and of course, a buttermilk fried chicken cooked to perfection. The crisp of the chicken was absolutely perfect and the overall sandwich was top-notch. The sandwich came with one side, and I went with their cheesy potato, which was a big portion. It was cheesy and the potato was cooked perfectly, and was in the perfect sized bites. Definitely give this side a try, if you haven't already.Food was good, staff was good, and overall dining experience was fantastic. Highly recommended!BATHROOM REVIEW: Located down the hallway, past the kitchen, the bathroom consisted of a urinal and toilet. Sink was clean and functional, and overall pleasant. Sit or squat? Sit!
I like the food here a lot. Decided to try something a little bit different today, tried the red hot. It's like their normal breaded chicken sandwich but dipped in their hot sauce. It was. It was quite delicious! The fries were on point today - very hot and very crispy/crunchy. Nothing worse than a basket of limp fries lol. The dessert looked delicious, it was a Oreo tres leches cake - unfortunately I took this to go and I wound up dropping it. Grrrr.... Looking forward to coming back so I can try that next time.
Excellent food great customer service
Friendly atmosphere and yummy food. Great event space!
They did a catering job for us and our guests couldn’t stop talking about the wonderful food. Thanks, John and Yvonne.
GO HERE NOW! Seriously. We had Chicken Sandwich and a double burger and both were delicious. The chicken was BY FAR the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. Pure white meat cooked to perfection juicy and the breading was crunchy but not too crunchy. The sauce was the hot sauce which had a warmth but didn’t crush the flavors. It was divine. Buns were super soft and toasted. Owner was working and you knew he takes great pride in the quality of food and overall customer experience. Absolutely LOVED this place and will definitely be coming back and telling everyone. Go go go!
