    I was limited with options and decided to try big city chicken during a quick layover- bad choice! The buffalo chicken was dry, barely had any buffalo, and not warm. Waffle fries came with the sandwich and those were good.

    It's a good spot to grab a quick bite in the airport. I got the spicy chicken strips which have a cake to them and the fries, which are nice. The service is fast and efficient. And the ambience is quite casual for airport.

    A pic of the worst chicken sandwich you ever seen.

    see the pic for reference. the worst chicken sandwich in the world. The employees seem to hate anyone that nots black, and purposely squeeze their sandwich. it's supposed to be a sandwich not a football or squished sub. I would fire this whole crew. I don't want to hear them endlessly talking shit, I just want a decent Sando and a dash of service.

    Flying through Chicago Midway airport and we're all hungry so we shared a 9 piece original chicken strips. It comes with fries which I really enjoyed. Chicken was decent not the best but ok for airport food. Kinda pricey at $28 but we split it between 3 of us so it was very economical. Next time I fly through I'll probably get it again. Service was good but the line was very long!

    Chicken sandwich and waffle fries
    Sir W.

    The chicken was cold, waffle fries were tasteless. Just grabbed in on the way through - don't do it. Chicken sandwich is little more than a chicken strip on a bun.

    Located near gate b7. For &20 for 7 spicy! Chicken tender and fries. The chicken wasn't spicy hot in my mouth just on my lips after I was done eating. Chicken was good fries weren't that great probably cause the chicken was on top of them and made them soggy. Quick serve.

    This place is small. You place the order on a kiosk. The food seems like it was made to order but it wasn't. The chicken was hard and dry the fries was salty and warm. I didn't take the food back because I was getting on the plane back to Philly. And the pictures that displayed around the store looks delicious. But what you receive isn't what you got the taste, the look, the temperature, and the chicken was very dry and hard. Their fries was real salty. The staff was nice and helpful. I believe if the food wasn't so salty and fresh it would've been so delicious. When we was riding to our gate to get on the plane I said to my husband that chicken look so good I want to go back and get some a dinner box. Then after I went and looked at what I received I was mad. Please check your food after you received it to make sure it's right and it taste good.

    Fried chicken sandwich
    Jen S.

    I mean if you are hungry this place will feed you. But it's not mind boggling yummy. My sandwich was fine but not worth the cost. Please note you order at a kiosk not the counter. Be careful when you order. The sandwich comes with fries. It is sneaky and as you go through check out it asks if you want to add fries. You don't need to. Almost made that mistake. Airport food is airport food. Nothing spectacular here. But not awful

    Chicken and Egg Breakfast Sandwich. $15.63! WTF!
    Michael G.

    So I rolled the dice to come here for a quick bite for my layover and overall, I felt ripped off after eating my chicken and egg sandwich. First, there's a dedicated line for those paying cash or airline employees. I went to that line and at the front I was told they are only doing kiosk and card payments. So I go to the other line and use the relatively easy touch screens, avoiding the almost $6 tater tots and other add-ons. Turned out that my single sandwich with tax was an astounding $15.63. Definitely not worth the price. I originally misread that it was $3.99 which would have been a good deal, not $13.99. There were a lot of people in line and the wait for me to get the sandwich was short. There were at least two employees in the kitchen that I saw. The sandwich itself was meh. Wasn't bad, but wasn't good, either. I got through it and some of the chicken was tough. Roll was ok, eggs were cooked. I'd probably take another shot at Big City Chicken, but be more aware of what to expect. Should've paid more attention to your Yelp reviews! And for most of what's available here in the Chicago Airport Terminal, nothing seems to be that great based on your reviews so maybe I did luck out.

    9 piece spicy chicken strips with waffle fries
    Josiah H.

    We're at Chicago Intl for a layover with the family, and we're looking to get something to eat before taking off. We were there close to when the food court was going to close, and everything was either expensive, running out, or not very interesting. Then I saw a few people with Big City Chicken walking from a different area, so we decided to check them out. We ended ordering several chicken strip meals in the spicy setup which were nice and crispy, hot off the fryer and perfectly spicy. Overall: Would definitely come back here if/when I'm back in the Chi-Town airport.

    Chicken was bland and mediocre at best. This place is a real canes. Wanna be with extra rude customer service. I stood in line at the cashiers for nobody to really even give me the time of day until I asked and they told me to go wait at the kiosk since I was using a credit card. Then it took forever to get the meal. When I got it, I had ordered chicken tenders and waffle fries, a Nashville, hot chicken sandwich and a grilled chicken sandwich. All of which really had no flavor and didn't look anywhere close to what the pictures on the menu looked like. I love fried chicken, I love fried chicken tenders and fried chicken sandwiches. Popeyes chicken sandwiches totally blow these things away and for $15 for a sandwich with some fries, it's totally not worth it. I understand that they were busy, but that doesn't mean you have to be rude at the same time when you're talking to customers. Unfortunately disappointing.

The italian beef however, that is a different story. The flavor was throughout the beef & I liked how it did not have to rely on the juice to get the flavor. Speaking of the juice that had a perfect amount of spice. I have to say this is one of my top Italian beefs that I've ever had.

I downloaded the CFA mobile app years ago and discovered that their user rewards have some of the "highest yield" of any fast food place. For instance, I probably squeezed 5-6 chicken sandwiches out of them for completing the customer satisfaction survey. No frequency limitations apply, mmmokay! This location is on Cicero Ave in the Burbank neighborhood of Chicago. It sits on the periphery of Ford City, a mall that's seen better days (with a very post-apocalyptic parking lot). I've stopped in a few times for lunch, and while their drive-thru isn't the fastest, employees are friendly and they're generous with sauces. The 3 tenders medium combo is $10, a fair price these days. Be sure to ask for 'light ice' in your drink so you don't get jipped - pellet ice is a very sneaky cost-cutting tactic! Personally, I think the chicken sando at Popeyes is better than here, however Chick-fil-A's breaded nuggets easily surpass the competition. Speaking of which, I got a free 8ct nuggets (valued at $5.50) just for placing an order through their app. I guess I owe a big thanks to Erin F, operator/manager of this Ford City Chick-fil-A! It's much appreciated and I know a certain 4yo that will directly benefit from the freebie.... provided he's got bbq sauce nearby. * TL;DR * Yes, you can have one of my waffle fries. Okay fine, two, but no more than that. Up to this point, Chick-fil-A's been very kind with in-app rewards redemption, extra sauce tubs, and other various goodies. Factor in their overall wholesome vibe and there's not many negative things I can say about this chain. I've got 1,253 CFA points to spend, so I'll certainly be back.
