This place was honestly really good. We got Fry N Chicken to go and it was still hot and crispy by the time we got home. The chicken was crunchy on the outside, juicy inside, and actually seasoned well not bland like a lot of fried chicken spots around here. You can tell it's fresh. The fries were also solid crispy, not greasy, and nicely seasoned. Portions were good and it felt worth it. Not gonna lie, it reminded me of Raising Cane's in Dubai. It's hard to find fried chicken around here that's actually yummy, but this one definitely hits. Would 100% order again. read more

Fry Chicken Fries - 5 TENDERS MEAL - Chicken Shop Near Me - Niles, Illinois

The store is bright and clean walking in, my hopes are high for a good meal. I look at the menu and realize it's nearly $17 for a chicken sandwich meal. Ouch. There are only variations of chicken on the menu: sandwiches, tenders, wings, and fried chicken. And the fries, of course. Chicken and fries. I ordered the smoky chicken sandwich. I get rung up, my wallet much lighter. The tip portion on the machine passes by before I have a chance to add anything. Wait, did the cashier just wiggle the tip jar at me? Yes, yes she did. RUDE! No tip for you! The fries were average frozen crinkles. The sauce on the sandwich was okay, as was the brioche bun. There was more breading than chicken, though. Disappointing, especially for the price. Three and a half stars for the food, minus one and a half for the price, and demanding a tip for ringing up my order. read more

Been craving for FRY for awhile now. Its a small place. Service is great but it takes a while for food because they make it FRESH. I ordered Tenders Wings and a Zinger and holy cow my bill was $$$. When I heard my total. I was like what the H did i order. I relooked at the price calculated and seems abt right but I really wanted it so closed my eyes and paid lol. Qhen i got home and opened everything up. I was like ohhhh this is so worth my money just based on the size of each piece alone. You'll know what I mean in the picture. The only new thing i had was the Zinger and it was sooo good. I would definitely go back for this sandwich. It was huge! Chicken waa tender and juicy. Seasoned well and cooked perfectly! If you havnt, must try! Happy Eating!!! read more

I've been here a few times now and it's simply really good food made fresh with a different flavor profile than any similar spots. The tenders here are amazing! The best tenders I've had hands down. Today I tried a Rizzo bowl which is yellow rice with chopped up tenders on top with a sauce of your choice (I got cheese). The rice is excellent, really well seasoned and flavorful. The tenders didn't seem to have the same seasoning as when you just get them whole, so that was a bit of a let down. The cheese sauce was a bit lacking, I'd like more of it but it was also not as thick as I would expect. Overall very tasty but it didn't live up to the other menu items. They've done more with the inside, it's got character now and seems like it's fully finished which is great to see. The place is a little more expensive than other chicken places but the fresh factor makes it worth price. read more

OMG! Is this the best fried chicken I've had so far??? If it's not, it's pretty damn close. I'll talk about the chicken soon but let me tell you a bit about the restaurant. The restaurant Fry is the first of it's kind in the West. It's a franchise from Iraq and only in Dubai and several middle East countries. They take traditional fried chicken and infuse middle Eastern and Indian spices to give it's food all the love it deserves. All the chicken is hilal so expect the prices to be a little more than usual fried chicken joints. Don't let this turn you off because its SO WORTH IT! On to the chicken...YUMMMMMM! The chicken is SO moist and tender but has a great crisp on the exterior. The spices are all too familiar to me as it has turmeric, and several other eastern spices that just ooze deliciousness! They're fries are tasty and amazing. I tried the standard fries but topped with lemon and black pepper. The dining area is decent sized but very clean and modern. It has dining up to 40 ppl. Moe is amazing the service was on par with most restaurants of it's type. You can see how he values the food and how it tastes. Looking forward to coming back and trying the chicken bowls! read more

The chicken is pretty good--solid quality, nicely breaded, cooked perfectly. The food all seems fresh, and that counts for a lot. However, it's just kind of plain, so relies on sauce for flavor. They do offer a few good ones (Santa Fe is #1), but my personal take is that if I need sauce to impart flavor, I'd rather order from one of the local Korean chicken joints. Lotsa flavor there! Onion rings are pretty good, cole slaw plain and bland. So at the end of the day, it's good food but not high on my list when I think of getting takeout. read more

Great fried chicken! The cheese sauce for the fries is also great, but you don't get enough in one cup for even a small order of fries.

Their chicken is just not very good. I've been a few times although I'm not sure why. It's near some things my wife likes, so each time I think I'll grab some nice breaded wings or some other fried chicken and I leave disappointed each time. Mediocre fries as well. The soda my most recent time served in a can also seemed past date but not sure. Kind of pricey too. The chicken just lacks any flavor. There are better places elsewhere. Further, if you require Halal, there are also better places like Holy Buckets for fried chicken specifically. read more

Had a lovely visit to the Fry. The owner took a lot of pride in the fact that everything was fresh and healthy & certified halal. The chicken and fries had a unique coating and was worth trying. They also offer burgers and wraps, dine in or carry out. It's a great family friendly restaurant. read more

Great service , and they food is half off right now. Overall great vibe and ambiance. Definitely they are improving !

We ordered a Chicken Sandwich, a Cheese Burger, Load fries, and the tiniest possible side of the spicy mayo sauce. Tiniest spicy mayo ($1.11) side. It was a strange experience asking for sauce since the chicken sandwich had more bread than chicken and had to charge the card again for the tiniest possible container for a sauce. Baffled! Chicken sandwich ($10.99) was a 3 star. The chicken was cooked well, but the portion of the chicken could've been a little bigger. It is a chicken sandwich; therefore we should be able to bite proper chicken in each bite instead of the bun bites. Single Cheese Burger ($12.99) absolute scam - 0 stars!!! Frozen and tasted like a cheap patty. Why even have it on the menu? Loaded fries ($10.99) a generous 3 stars. If you expect a customer to pay $11 for fries perhaps look at the amount of fries and the chicken you're loading it with. Overall I don't recommend this place until the portions reflect the price and cleanliness can be prioritized. The tables were dirty with wet marks and food smudges. read more

The chicken itself was really crispy and flaky but it's a total ripoff for the price. The portion sizes are a joke. The chicken was good but not worth the price. There are better options nearby like cm chicken bonchon pita inn and bb.q chicken if you're in the area. I hope they fix the prices to make it more comparable. The lady on the phone who took my order said the "big platter would feed 2" but the rice barely covered the bowl. The portions were a joke. read more

A Soul-Crushingly Bland Disaster: The Worst Fried Chicken Experience I have had bad food before, but Fry Chicken 'N Fries truly outdid itself in the race to the bottom. The crust was crispy, sure, but what's the point when it had NO FLAVOR?! It was like biting into a crunchy void of disappointment. No salt, no spice, no life--just a soulless shell of wasted potential. The chicken underneath? Dry, overcooked, and utterly joyless. It's almost like they dunked it in hot oil and just hoped something magical would happen. Spoiler alert: it didn't. And don't even get me started on the so-called rice bowl. I swear they must have reheated leftover rice from last week because it had a weird, foul smell. It was soggy, stale, and covered in some bizarre sauce that did nothing but highlight how off-puttingly bad the whole dish was. Fries? Bland. Sauces? Meh. Overall experience? I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. If you want crispy fried chicken that actually tastes good, save yourself the misery and use this proper recipe instead: How to Make Crispy, Flavorful Fried Chicken Ingredients: * 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or drumsticks) * 2 cups buttermilk * 1 egg (for extra crispiness) * 1 cup all-purpose flour * 1 cup cornstarch (key to crispiness) * 1 tbsp salt * 1 tbsp black pepper * 1 tbsp garlic powder * 1 tbsp onion powder * 1 tbsp smoked paprika * 1 tsp cayenne pepper (because food should have FLAVOR) * 1 tsp baking powder (for extra crunch) * Vegetable oil (for frying) Instructions: 1. Marinate the Chicken - Mix buttermilk with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Add the chicken and let it soak for at least 4 hours (overnight is best) to make it juicy and flavorful. 2. Prepare the Coating - In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and baking powder. 3. Dredge the Chicken - Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, shake off excess liquid, dip it in the flour mixture, then back in buttermilk, then in flour again. This double-coating makes it ultra-crispy. 4. Heat the Oil - In a deep fryer or heavy pan, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). 5. Fry the Chicken - Place the chicken in the hot oil and fry for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Internal temp should reach 165°F (75°C). 6. Drain & Enjoy - Let the chicken rest on a wire rack (NOT paper towels) to keep it crispy. Now THIS is how you make fried chicken--crispy and packed with flavor. Something Fry Chicken 'N Fries should learn before serving another round of bland, soulless misery. read more

First time here, and probably my last...unless someone else tries it and tells me it was a fluke. You have 3 choices of wings, crispy, buffalo, and BBQ. I ordered the crispy and buffalo. $20 for 12 piece crispy. ($1.67 per wing-whole wing!) $10 for 5 piece buffalo. ($2.00 per wing-separated wing) The crispy wings were the whole wing...flat and drumette. The chicken was tender and the batter was crispy.....but zero taste...not even salt! They included some sauce... Santa Fe=okay Garlic=okay BBQ=thumbs down The buffalo wings looked more traditional...wing was separated, saucy, and not crispy. The buffalo sauce was SPICY, but the taste was off. I couldn't even eat them. I really wanted to like this place, but it's kind of expensive for what you get. And I get it...everything is expensive these days, but these are chicken wings...that didn't even come with fries. If you decide to try this place, definitely get the crispy wings...you get twice as much for your money. Bring your own hot sauce!!! LOL! read more

Great chicken and excellent sauce. The fries were good too. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly.

I'm at a loss for words, I see this place right next to the old Toys R us location in Niles, and I'm like, sure why not. Thinking fast food chicken, I go in and order and my first thought was what to get. I decided let's just try their basic fried chicken and compare it, as I've been on a life time search to seek out the best of everything. So, my initial thought was 7 pieces for $22 bucks, hmm, a bit pricey, but inflation is everywhere so I get it. Then the lady at the counter says 20 minute wait. I'm like, hmmm not so fast food. I end up getting the chicken with fries and rush home about 10 minutes, worried I'll lose the crisp. I get home and I look at the chicken and I'm like interesting. I get the thigh and break it open, by the way, thigh is always the best part of the chicken, there is no debate. And I'm like what the heck, it's crispy, not just crispy super crispy. I'm like wtf, I taste the chicken and I'm like WTF. Immediately I'm wondering how the frick is this chicken being made. I get my kid and my wife to try it and they are like... Holy crap. I'm like, I know, right! Honestly, I'm not doing justice to describe how good this chicken is. By the way the fries, while taking a back seat in description is superbly done as well. So, go figure the next day, I told my kid, let's stop by there again for lunch. This time I tried their zinger sandwich and chicken rice bowl. Again, I'm like... WTF after tasting both, without a doubt this is THE BEST fried chicken period. Honestly, people don't know about this place, but if they tried their chicken sandwich compared to Chick Fil A, Chick would be out of business. There is no comparison. I got a chance to talk with the owner to find out more about the chicken and I definitely gonna explore more of the menu as they had other stuff. What I did find out is the chicken isn't frozen, they don't use the typical egg that you need to mix with the batter. The batter is special and unique way of doing it and I'm still in shock how good this chicken really is. After having this level of chicken I can't go back to the way things were. read more

Hot, delicious, crispy fried chicken with a light Indian spicy. Fries kinda bad - lukewarm & chewy. Sauces not quote average for fast food. Rolls fairly tough. The menu was kinda confusing and prices on the high side. I just wanted a couple of thighs and fries and was stuck having to buy a 5 piece meal. I could have bought a 3 piece for $2 less. Then I had to wait 20 minutes while the place was empty. That said... the fried chicken was really good! read more

In regards to fastfood chicken, I would place Chick-fil-a, Popeyes, and Cane's in the top tier and "Fry - Chicken'n Fries" in low to mid tier. The meal didn't leave us satisfied. Average food. There is a Chick-fil-a down the road if your looking for a chicken sandwich. read more

My wife and I went on a Saturday evening with no idea what to expect. I kind of figured it was fast food/fast casual. The customer service was excellent and exceeded any expectations we had. We were given information on the food and the owner let us sample a tender to see if we liked it and we ordered some to share. I also ordered the fried mushrooms which were fresh. We would definitely go back there. read more

I came here for a second time, and I am happy to inform you that the experience was nothing short of phenomenal. The food was beyond delicious, and the workers were kind and helping and extremely considerate. The new decor was extremely colorful, and the colors were very aesthetically pleasing. I ordered a single burger and fries, which the cashier said was their most popular item; I now understand why. The burger was chargrilled to perfection, and the choice of bun, sauce, and ingredients were like a party for my taste buds. The fries were perfectly fried and salted as well, and I will be sure to come back again for another round! Would recommend this all for who would like to try a local family owned restaurant with halal fried chicken and burgers beyond deliciousness. read more

Fry Chicken Fries - 5 pc tenders - Chicken Shop Near Me - Niles, Illinois

Was unaware the food would have Indian spices added to it as it's not my thing. Expensive for what you get as well.

I have been a loyal customer of Fry since it opened, but now they are cutting corners. Sauces always came with my order, but today, after placing a $70 order, the lady at the desk refused to give me any sauces. They seem to no longer provide the red sauce and wanted to charge extra for it. They've just lost a customer. read more

I decided to give this place a shot and I'm glad I did! I got a meal (3 chicken fingers + fries and drink) and it was the perfect amount. The chicken was very crisp, juicy, and loaded with flavor. Fries were crispy and the seasoning was great. We got 3 sauces: hot sauce (think Crystal or something similar), spicy fry sauce, and creamy garlic sauce. All 3 were great and I was alternating between them. My wife got chicken rizo which was a bowl with rice, sliced chicken fingers, and cheese sauce. She loved it. Everything really hit the spot. We'll be back! read more

It was my first time here. I asked about ingredients since one of my children has food allergies . The lady named " Gigi " seemed friendly at first but incorrectly told me that their mayonnaise based sauces didn't have eggs in them . I received my greasy chicken in my to go bag even though I never ordered my food to go . I paid extra money to try 2 of their sauces and , when I dipped a french fry in my ($1 each) sauce Gigi screamed at me that I couldn't eat in the store . She even used the F word and claimed to be the owner / manager . I am a middle aged, middle classed woman who has eaten french fries out of take out bags in many, many places without " triggering " anyone else before . read more

I went in and tried a little bit of everything. The fried chicken sandwich was my favorite part. The bun was sturdy and the chicken was perfectly breaded and cooked. The tenders were delicious. The chicken was soft and juicy and the breading was crunchy and delicious. Really really good all around. Also had the fried mushrooms and onion rings and both of those were delicious as well. Would absolutely recommend to anyone in the area and I think it's worth traveling for as well. Will absolutely be back. read more

Very good chicken. We had a sandwich and the tenders and both were really tasty. Owner was also very nice.
