    If you are craving a fried chicken sandwich, Fry the Coop is the place to go. The restaurant is decorated simple but nice and clean. Friendly staff. Somehow I feel better knowing the chicken and fries are fried in beef tallow versus other oils. The chicken is juicy with yummy breading. I like the coleslaw on the chicken sandwich. The fries are tasty too! Consistently good food. Yum!

    This place is such a mess and so inconsistent. I went recently and if I hadn't checked before leaving, they would have sent me home with a large coleslaw instead of large pickles. But of course I didn't taste the actual food until I got home, which is when I found out that it was a higher heat level than I ordered. Both me and my significant other remarked upon this. We always order medium--that's been the heat level for years--and they gave us one at least a level up. I couldn't eat it and it gave me a stomach ache. Lastly, they almost never have mac and cheese. I came between 4-5 pm and thought surely they'd have it since it was fairly early on a weekday and would give my toddler another option for what to eat, but they were out. If they're constantly out, wouldn't that suggest maybe they could make a little more? Worst of all I can't say I won't return because it may be the only one that has a drive-through, and since my daughter's often with me I need to pick and choose how often I get her out of her car seat since she can be difficult about it sometimes. Just wish I could count on this place to actually get it right more often than not, but they have a terrible track record.

    It was delicious! Went for lunch and chicken patty was big and juicy! You just pick your heat spice preference and which sandwich. I absolutely love the mac and cheese it's got a lil flare to it. Cute place and clean, staff and manager were super nice and asked to take our dirty trays after eating. Great experience.

    The medium Nashville style hot chicken sandwich and fries were great. Fries were amazingly crispy. Chicken crispy and great tasting. Medium wasn't hot enough for me. Cole slaw on top was great.

    Visited this location again with my son and it was excellent. He tried the "Tender Flight" chicken challenge which he said was the hottest food he's ever had at a restaurant. I had the nuggets and seasoned fries. It was great

    Came back to order from here after many years due to its inconsistency and poor service. Not to my surprise I had a terrible experience with my take out today. Food looks great and well seasoned but it has no taste. I don't get it. Chicken is dryer than the desert and had spots of pink in one of the sandwich (I know they double fry so it could've been just the chicken and not undercooked). The breading on the chicken is rock hard and dry, chicken on the inside dry, coleslaw has no flavor, pickles look deprived of hydration. The only thing this has going is the coop sauce which I barely had enough of on my sandwich. I'm so underwhelmed especially because I chose to come here instead of other hot chicken places. I called the store to explain my issue, but THEY NEVER ANSWER. It just hangs up after 20 rings. Whatever is going on here with fast cook times, it must be convenient but the food is terrible. What a waste of money.

    I went to Fry the Coop to get a take out order. When you enter the restaurant you will notice what a fun place this is. From the colorful and fun decorations to the plants, this is an inviting atmosphere. I ordered the chicken and waffles. I was very happy with the food. The chicken and waffle reheated well in my air fryer. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, especially when paired with the sauce that was included. The waffle also crisped back up nicely after being air fried. I didn't taste the pearl sugar as much as I did the bacon. There was A LOT of bacon in there! I was very happy with my experience and look forward to going back. I highly recommend Fry the Coop!

    Second week in a row visiting, and unfortunately it will be my last. Today we waited about 15 minutes in the drive-thru to pick up our online order. It wasn't moving, so we reversed out and parked just to go inside. When I got to the counter around 12:30, the person working didn't say a single word. I greeted them, asked for my order, and even after I said thank you, I got silence and a blank stare. I didn't even bring up the drive-thru wait, but the lack of basic customer service was hard to ignore. On top of that, my order has been wrong two weeks in a row. Last week I ordered cheese fries and didn't receive them. This week I ordered messy fries and they came without chicken. Less email marketing and more attention to accuracy and customer service, please.

    I went here for lunch on Saturday. Pretty empty. The menu is pretty basic - maybe 10 items. I went with the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with mild. I wish I would have gotten hotter. Fries were a bit cold. Portion size was good. I actually went to downtown Nashville a day later and had Nashville hot chicken two days in a row. I had a good comparison. I want to come back here and try a hotter temperature. It's hard to beat some of the more famous places in Nashville like Hatties but being so far away in Chicago, this place is still good. Fried chicken is all the rage these days.

    Social Inn has been on my to-try list for some time.  My husband and I finally had a chance to…read morecheck it out on a Monday evening recently.  I made a reservation via Tock that I already had an account for years, so that was simple. On a weekday evening, as expected, the restaurant was not busy.  We were promptly seated at a 4-top table (2 × 2-top) against the right wall, with some other 2-tops on both sides.  Like many reviewers had mentioned, the venue was beautiful, modern and chic. There were 7 tables occupied, including us.  The music that they had was not too loud, just that customers' conversations were amplified by the box shape open dining area.  If we focused enough, we could hear every conversation if we wanted to.  This was obvious when a table of about 6 women got seated at a table near the front door, some of them laughed and talked very loudly.  My husband and I just found it funny and didn't let that bother us.  However, when the restaurant is filled on busier days, it might be a different story. Our server, Patrick, was very nice and attentive.  Since they did not list drinks on their menu except those with alcohol, I asked him about non-alcoholic drinks.  After a brief "discussion", he asked me to leave it to him to make me a drink with mango.  He came up with a beautiful drink that was good and refreshing, with some mango flavor.  It was Virgin Paloma on our receipt for $8, which was reasonable.  He was very polite and checked in on us several times at appropriate times during our dinner.  The pace of the dinner was good, we spent a total of an hour and 15 minutes in the restaurant. Patrick might be the only waiter serving all the tables that evening, though. I also ordered Grilled Octopus ($22) which was very good, tender and flavorful, but was a little too salty to my taste.  The small pita bread wedges were warm and fluffy with some crispy edges, the beet hummus was creamy, and everything was delicious and tasted fresh.  I generously shared 2 little bites of octopus with my husband and I finished the entire plate, it was so good!  My husband really liked his Spiked White Fish ($29) and I shared a bite of that too.  He also had a House Salad for $6, that was a very good value.  He enjoyed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc Crossing ($12) too.  We also shared an order of Crème Brulee ($8), that was creamy and cooked perfectly.  We ordered a takeout order of Rigatoni with Sausage ($23), that was a good portion, and was still delicious and al dente the next day after being microwaved. I am so happy that we found Social Inn - a hidden gem in Plaza del Prado, it's not far from home, with comfortable and beautiful ambiance, excellent service (from Patrick), an attractive menu with enticing food (fresh ingredients and appealing plating), and reasonable prices, we will definitely be back!

We were in the area late in the day and remembered Social Inn was open, so we went. We ordered a variety of items. I had the Social Burger (at least 1/2 pound), we also ordered their chicken dinner salad and the beet hummus. Everything was delicious. I did order my burger medium and it was delivered well done, but it was still good. They also have one of the best gluten-free buns I've ever had. I do wish they were open at lunch time still, but I understand they need to be open for their busiest hours. Social Inn is a great option when you are in the Glenview area.

We were able to get a table fast, and oh boy, TVs everywhere. Pretty much anywhere you sit you can see at least five.

I got a Bleu Cheese & Bacon Burger, which was pretty great and came with a mound of fries. My daughter got the Mac & Cheese from the kids menu, which ended up being an adult's plate size of mac and cheese. Not complaining -- just you can probably split this between two kids. The beer list was also great. We had to wave the server over a few times after waiting a while for our checks and refills, but overall, this was a pleasant visit. Would come back.
