    Here's an update menu with the prices. Shrimp and chicken are the best! Next time I'll have to add the daily specials.

    4 perfectly fried chicken wings with fries
    Tamara M.

    Everytime I go, the staff is always friendly and the food is delicious! The wings are the perfectly fried and of normal size. Not too small or looking like a turkey wing! Its the perfect size for a chicken ans sometimes they will sneak you an extra wing.. I been going to Hienie's for years (since high school when I moved into the neighborhood) and for some reason the recipe has stayed the same.. flavors delicious.. from the huge slice of pizza, perfectly fried golden shrimp and chicken.. they have other stuff too but thise are my fav! Back in the day they use to have tables where you can sit and eat but they took them out. So you cannot eat in there anymore which is sad. They need to consider bringing it back

    Chicken

    Hienie's is my favorite community staple. It's been around forever for a reason. The service has improved significantly over the last couple of years. You can always expect it to be busy, but food usually takes no longer than 20 minutes if you order ahead. Food is always made fresh and there's something on the menu for everyone. If you're a local, you likely know all of the daily specials. Our go to's are: chicken, gizzards, onion rings, shrimp, perch....the chicken sandwiches are good too. Throw in a slice of pizza if you're extra hungry. We love this place and are always happy to support!

    I got their fried shrimp bag from their food truck when they were downtown, which came with a solid portion of fried shrimp and fries. Love a yummy battered fried shrimp, and I enjoyed this one. I do wish they had funner sauces (I think fried shrimp would go well with a creamy sauce over the hot sauce they have), but generally liked their shrimp and made my tummy and day better to have it for dinner.

    Home Sweet Home Chicago!

    Amazing place but the chicken tenders were hard and burnt. But other than that it was great.

    This is a taste of my childhood. I always stop here when I'm back in town. Just wish they'd bring back the old perch pieces.

    Shrimps are not heavy battered. Just wish they offered turkey spaghetti instead of beef. Need more side choices if you want a shrimp dinner.

    I hate that I can only give this place 1 star! This is the worst slop shop on the Southside. The…read moreservice is some of the worst I have ever experienced. The girls who work there are disrespectful, rude, and belligerent. There is no ambiance since there is nowhere to sit for a dining experience. Therefore, the ambiance focuses solely on how you are treated by the staff. As for the food, it's ok, again, for a slop shop it's ok, but because of all of the other issues with staffing, I will never ever visit here again!

    I decided to come here on 1/13/24 and try their chicken based off a video on Facebook advertising…read morethem and the positive comments that followed. The prices are super cheap for a good amount of food. This used to be a Seashell fast food restaurant. They conveniently have a drive thru which was great because it was so cold that day so I appreciated that. My order was the 30 piece legs and thighs with lemon pepper (it comes with fries), a strawberry lemonade and a mango lemonade. The young lady cashier who took my order was pleasant and very friendly so that was a big plus. I was anxious to try the food. The lemonades were pretty good, the mango was the tastier of the two. The chicken was a pure disappointment. The drumsticks were the smallest drumsticks I have ever seen in my life! But, the main issue was all of the chicken were way too salty to the point of not being able to eat it. I had such high hopes for this place. I paid a total of $34.13 which is an excellent price for all of that food but all of that goes out the window if you can't eat and enjoy the food. I don't think I will be coming back but again, I will say, wonderful customer service.
