Looking outside reminds me of Kenny Rogers roasters. They have variety of choices not just chicken and ribs, they have mexican food like tacos. We ordered the roasted chicken and ribs and very tasty but a little on the dry side. The sides we ordered are corn, mac and cheese and spanish rice taste good. I think the chicken would taste better if they add the salsa to the order just like pollo loco. It is a self service place so the food is quick. read more

Awful service and horrible owner that talked down to us when asking a question about a pick up order that was 87 dollars. Had to literally request a dispute because they said they couldn't refund it even though I never received any food! Avoid this place at all costs and save yourself a headache! read more

I had a meal a while back. It was good. I believe I had the half slab ribs. The ribs stuck to the bone a bit, which I like. The sauce was pretty good too. I would go back and should since I'm right around the corner. read more

Great chicken and sides were fresh mashed potatoes and Mac cheese is good. Even give corn bread. Kids say it's their favorite now. Highly recommend. Prices reasonable too. Chicken top notch. read more

The chicken here is delicious! It's juicy and flavorful. I had the chicken tacos, a shrimp taco and Spanish rice. The chicken is shredded in the tacos and tastes really good. Shrimp is cooked perfectly. My brother ordered the 1/2 chicken (I've attached a photo), that he let me try and I loved it! It's really cool that they offer 1/2 chickens, and for a good price in my opinion. You can also order a 1/4 chicken. It's definitely filling and convenient for lunch or dinner. Service is efficient- we usually order take out and our orders so far have been correct and ready on-time. read more

Ordered for delivery. It arrived super fast. Maybe 20 minutes? I had ordered the half chicken with mashed potatoes and Mac & cheese. Every was excellent. Chicken had a nice Smokey flavor, fell off the bone. The sides were also very flavorful, the mashed potatoes and gravy reminded me of my late grandmother's so that was a nice little treat. Definitely recommend and definitely will order again. Also the price is very reasonable for the amount of food. read more

Great fast & fresh!! Made my Friday POP! Had Carne asada torta -and- carne asada Burrito "dinner". Each had a unique standout moment. Im not supposed to have hot & spicy (But I loved it & ate it ANYWAYS!) The interior is always warm & inviting. Nobody gets 5 stars from me..........consider that! read more

Chicken is well seasoned and cooked here. I got the chicken sandwich and it was bussin'. I asked for no mayo, but they were generous and gave me some anyways. My sandwich came with two sides, which I elected for potato salad, which had huge huge huge chunks of potato, decent, but not overwhelming mustard. My other side was mashed potatoes, which was a generous portion with a pretty good turkey gravy. The place was rather loud, from a mixture of the employees yelling out your order, to when it's ready, and the constant banging of utensils, plates, and pans. Food was a 5-star, but the loud banging ambiance and not putting mayo, when I asked for no mayo, I need to take off a star. This place has outdoor seating too, that is covered, so it's a nice option if you want to avoid the noise and sit outside. BATHROOM REVIEW: Located near the front, the bathrooms consisted of single person bathrooms. The mens was dark, dank, and dingy, but it got the job done. There was a toilet and a sink, which appeared to be in working order. Sit or squat? Squat. read more

We walked in this place the first thing we noticed is how clean it was, and that they had plenty of seating. There are both booths and tables (we posted a video) We were greeted right away by Nacho he had a big smile on his face and he made us feel like family! He gave us suggestions and the over the counter menu is big, full of pics and very easy to read. We sat down and took out time looking and taking pictures of the menu. When we were ready to order we went back up to the counter (they don't wait on you) They have a Coke fountain machine which we love. They sell beer and other Mexican beverages. Right away we noticed they have Menudo which my wife loves. As a matter of fact she was thrilled with the Menudo here and said she rates this in the top three for sure! No chewy pieces and lots of "meat" I originally ordered the 21 shrimp appetizer for my meal and for just $2 more I got 2 heaping sides. For the sides I chose coleslaw and mashed potatoes with gravy. I also added 10 boneless buffalo wings with blue cheese for only $5.99 and they were mighty spicy. I would would definitely come back for the shrimp meal... the wings were too spicy for me... so if you love spicy wings... you will love them here! Next time I will order the BBQ boneless wings. We will be back for sure! This place is amazing and I highly recommend dining here. Check out the menu and videos we added of our food! They have two bathrooms one woman and one men and they were very clean. read more

Ordered for take out and food was amazing. We got a half chicken dinner with mashed potato's and gravy and mac and cheese. The dish also included a sweet corn muffin that hit the spot . The other dish was the chicken Caesar pita and I must make a note, since this was a take out order, they serve a huge salad in the pita and the pita absorbs the juices and gets soggy. I'd recommend asking for the pita on top and arranging your pita together later. Regardless of that, it was delicious. With the pita we had the coleslaw and the garlic potatoes. Recommend all the sides. Found a new favorite place. Highly recommend, you won't regret. read more

We arrived in town late in the evening and just wanted some good food. That is exactly what we got. The chicken was moist, the roasted potatoes were flavorful and the apple crisp was excellent. read more

Was excited to try this place and seeing all the sides made me want to choose like 4-5 sides to go along with our chicken meal. We settled on roasted potatoes and cole slaw. The portions are very generous. But the taste is just average to me. Food tasted bland and lacked flavor. We also got the quesabirria tacos and those lacked any flavor. Was a bit disappointed overall with the taste. The chicken was on the drier side but my husband enjoyed it. Maybe I need to give it another try. read more

Very good smoked chicken. Sides are fresh and good. Staff is friendly. Recommended for a lunch break spot

I work as a contractor and was looking for a holiday meal option. I came across this restaurant and figured I'd give it a try. The roasted chicken and BBQ ribs were very good. The mashed potatoes and gravy are excellent. The Mac and Cheese is pretty good. The only thing I tried that wasn't overly impressive was the baked beans. They were soupy. Over all it was a fantastic meal and I will order from them again. read more

Stopped here for the first time. I ordered a whole chicken to take home. It is delicious! Moist & flavorful. I will be putting some of it on lettuce for my next meal. I highly recommend it! read more

Extra BBQ sauce on the side should be offered since the ribs lack sauce. Ribs not meaty. Quesabirria was delicious. Good service, friendly staff. Owner says their chicken is their STAR item. read more

I ordered a meal here on DoorDash and the food was so bad. The chicken was dry. I will give it a three out of 10, but the sides were absolutely disgusting watery mac & cheese. The cornbread was so hard. It could literally break a window. 10 out of 10 would not come back again and that's just the hard truth. read more

Today, I had the half chicken with three side dishes- macaroni & cheese, potatoes & green beans. The food was decent, and especially the green beans, which were extremely good. The staff was helpful and the place was very clean. The only downside was that the biscuit was rock hard, very dry. Besides that biscuit, it was all good.. read more

I haven't been here in awhile and now I know why. They should be ashamed to call themselves a chicken place. All you see in the windows is advertising for Mexican food. Isn't this a rotisserie chicken place?? The employees were all talking Spanish and not very nice. Rush, rush, rush for what, no one was in there. I ordered the thigh and leg meal with potatoe salad and baked beans. The stuff on the hot table looked very old and dried out. I couldn't even eat the potatoe salad it was loaded with yellow mustard and horrible. I had to throw it out!! If I got 3 bites out of the 2 chicken pieces I was lucky. They were so small and full of bones and skin. Once you took the skin off there was nothing on the bones. Corn muffin dry as dust!! The place was dark and gloomy and very unappealing. I will never go back. It was a BIG waste of $12.00 to just eat baked beans!!! I could of had a can of beans at home for a lot cheaper. I hope people read this and take it seriously and don't go there. I'm helping you save your hard earned money for a good meal somewhere else. read more

First time here since I forgot the thanksgiving turkey lol I ordered 4.5lbs of sliced hot turkey. It comes with gravy on the side. The taste is so delicious and so soft with a lot of flavor. This place is hidden but I will be back to enjoy a chicken with a couple of all the sides they offer. read more

This simple little place has the best guacamole I have ever tasted. It's a fast casual style restaurant, so service isn't noteworthy, but the food was tasty. It's really a homey Mexican restaurant with tasty chicken and ribs. read more

The chicken is so juicy and so Good. The service is great, they are always so kind, i go there once or twice a week. Ramon is always very kind. read more

I LOVE MY barbecue and smoked chicken. They have some of the best in the Nortwest suburbs. A real treat

I had the roasted chicken with garlic potatoes fruit salad. My wife had bbq sandwich with Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. The chicken was dry and not that tasty. The garlic potatoes were greasy and slimy. Basic Kraft Mac and cheese is better. The mashed potatoes tasted like instant spuds. One and done. I won't rate it any less because I did not get sick from the food. read more

This establishment is truly awesome. The food is great and very fresh. We love the chicken and ribs. I haven't had a less than great experience. We no longer live near the restaurant but travel an hour each way about 2x a month to get our fix. The staff is very friendly and attentive read more

Everything tasted great and all 5 of us enjoyed our quarter chicken meals with various sides. Ordered online and it was ready to go when I went to pick it up. Very nice, pleasant lady assisted with pickup and grabbing me some sauces. Highly recommend. read more

Love the chicken!! Best spit chicken around. Mexican food good too!! Always a great taco con arroz y refritos!

I was super glad that they made the food to order and not pre cooked. I had the chicken sandwich (about a 10min wait), fries and mashed potatoes. Fries were...okay. Mashed potatoes were creamy with a few bits of actual potatoes(?). The gravy was tasty! Chicken, as I mentioned, cooked to order. That was awesome! Taste was ok. I think it needed a little something more to commiserate with the cooking style. All in all, worth the wait. Get salt and pepper to taste. Get the bbq sauce too. Curious about the other food items available. Till next time, I'd be back. read more

This place was awesome! Went with the hubby and family to get some dinner. Tried the family meal, the chicken was excellent - moist, savory, tasty, fresh. Came with several enormous sides - we picked potato salad for me, Mac and cheese and fries - sides were so big we couldn't finish them. We couldn't finish the chicken either it was so plentiful. Pricing was very reasonable. Seating is available inside, and parking is free in front of the store. The customer service was very friendly, and the food came out very promptly. Would definitely try other dishes! Recommend Hickory Rosters! read more

Owner was rude, floors and tables were faded and gross. Food was pretty good, have eaten here few times in the past, but after the poor customer service lately I will not be coming back. read more

Wouldn't recommend the salad with chicken - bit down on one bone, it happens, we all have off days - bit down on another bone and that was the end of that. Roasted chicken with sides was really good - liked it enough to almost give them 5 stars even with the bones in the salad. read more

Best chicken in Chicagoland . Chicken is full of flavor , so many spices . Meat is so tender , falls out of the bone . read more

Great Carne Asada!!!!! The slab of ribs was very good as well. My son loves the pasta salad every time. Service is incredibly friendly, professional and nice. We had ordered chicken and ribs from Hickory Roasters as a cover up for my husband's 40th surprise birthday and he is now 70. It is such a great old favorite to return to for dinners. PS the steak tacos were perfect. Thank you. read more

This restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside, so I'm glad my bf suggested coming here for dinner on a Sunday night... because it's not normally a place I would pick on my own. The food is really delicious, and service is fast and friendly. Not sure how healthy the food actually is, but it does seem healthy enough, and everything definitely has that home style from scratch feel. The inside is filled with chicken decor, kind of dated but adds to the homey charm. The restaurant seems to be family run, and it has an interesting Mexican twist with pico de gallo as one of the cold side options and Mexican soft drinks in the cooler. We got the half chicken and half slab ribs to share, and it was a ton of food. Very tasty. Muffin was a bit dry, but also very tasty. The corn seemed plain without salt or butter, so I suppose that was healthy, haha. I got the Italian green beans in an attempt at more greens, and it came in a tomato sauce with a hint of heat. A solid meal at decent prices. Wouldn't mind coming back here again someday. read more
