Delicious! I tried the Popeyes ain't sh$t chicken sandwich and the macaroni and they were both a hit! The chicken sandwich is huge and delicious! The pickles and the slaw on top compliments the chicken perfectly. Not sure what kind of cheese is on the Mac, but I believe it's a white cheddar. Anyway, it was a perfect compliment to the chicken sandwich. I will definitely be back. read more

Fries and Sammy were very good if in the area I'd hit again. Wait wasn't to bad considering a line formed after me

Food is average at best. I had the hot honey sandwich. It was mostly breading, and the slaw tasted like just raw cabbage. Fries were cold. Watermelon lemonade was the only really great thing about my meal. Try Budlong's Hot Chicken if you want a worthwhile sandwich! read more

Give my son and i food poisoning chicken wasn't all the way cook they need to put Harolds chicken back if you trying to get sick eat here I promise you won't have to go to work the next day!!!!!!!!!! Just nasty read more

This food is overrated and overhyped. I've been two times because I wanted to make sure the first time wasn't just a bad visit. THE ONLY THING good that I had was the watermelon sugar drink. The tenders had that weird clear string in it when I pulled it apart think the white of an egg. The fries are regular crinkle cut fries. Nothing exciting there. Today I had the elote corn and that wasn't too bad the char on the corn was perfect but all that mayo on it made all the cheese fall off so I was eating corn and mayo. No ma'am! The chicken honey butter chicken sandwich was not good either. That mayo is weird. Now the good part is the spice levels are great love that but this is still a no for me. read more

Everything I thought they would be & then some. It's addictive & after that 1st bite it's no turning back I drive from the south suburbs past ummmph teenth Popeyes to go to them because it's worth it. Consistency is key & they got the chicken game on lock . read more

This was my first time visiting, it was very clean and the cashier was very nice. The food is definitely too expensive and not worth the price. I purchase the 6 wing meal, mild and it was awful! Bad taste left in my mouth, terrible flavor. The wings were HUGE and disgusting. The Mac & cheese was gross, too much cheese not enough noodles. The watermelon lemonade was not good either. Try at your own risk. This was my experience. read more

1st off they advertised corn on the cob and gave a me a cup of corn soup in a bowel and stated that it was supposed to be Mexican corn in a cup. I was pissed wasting my 4$ for something that taste like it came from a can. I threw it out right in the parking lot. the chicken tenders came only 2 in an order but was ok. overall the food quality was not worth it. read more

The service was ok The food was NOT GOOD! Got the signature s chicken sandwich (can't remember the name) and a regular chicken sandwich, disgusting! Threw it away immediately.

Hot Chi Chicken - Popeyes ain't shit - Chicken Shop Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I think you should support Black Owned Businesses, and this is a pretty upscale place compared to where the area is at, so go and check this place out regardless. I give Hot Chi a 3.75/5 , on its low days. On its high days I give it a 4.25. It is not a bad place but sometimes food quality can fluctuate. I will rate the menu items I had individually and give a break down. The Tender Combo - Over all pretty good, but also pretty in offensive. The texas toast needs some improvement, it really isn't as good as it could be. I think they should look into browning the toast in the butter more, and both sides at that. The chicken itself is fine and sauce is good. The fries aren't offensive so they make a good side. The cheat day fries - I was honestly most excited about this menu item but was the most disappointed. There is just too much sauce going on in the fries and it makes it too soggy. The flavor of the cheese and sauce overwhelm the chicken and fries so it feels like you're just eating solids without really differing what solid you are eating. I think if they toned down how much sauce and cheese used it could help accentuate everything it has to offer rather than dull it. Mac N Cheese - It's not bad but if you are looking for ths taste and consistency of homemade mac n cheese you won't really get it with this item. If you just want some mac n cheese however you can totally get it and probably be satisfied. read more

I gave this spot a try based off my love for chicken sandwiches and they let me down big time with their mild honey chicken sandwich that was not cooked all the way (raw in the middle), I was so disappointed cause I had been trying to catch this place open a few times. read more

I had corn here and really liked but now everytime I come in here they never have eben after only being open a few hours they need to do something about that or I gotta keep giving them a low rating food is good but they need to do be on having way more than they having read more

This place is still new but holy sh*t!! The food is so good. I've tried just about the whole menu and nothing has disappointed. Thick pieces of chicken dipped in sauce like I've never had before, the flavor is insane. I got the cheat day fries and they were crispy even with all the sauce on top. The cashier was so wonderful and made sure they got my order right (I had some modification). Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

I ordered the honey hot medium chicken sandwich which I liked. Unfortunately the rest of my family thought they ordered mild which seemed to have a higher spice level than my medium. The restaurant was very clean and quiet. The service was also very helpful. They made sure to make that your order was just right for you! read more

I wouldn't recommend the Popeye's ain't shit didn't taste anything but the sauce and couldn't finish the sandwich almost vomited it back up. The fries were good. Would go back for the fries only read more

The chicken sandwiches are so delicious. The mac and cheese was awesome. My wife loved the elotes. You have to wait a bit for the food, but the food is so fresh, so it's not a big deal. read more

I ordered a 6 piece wing and a popeyes ain't sh!t sandwich with a watermelon sugar drink was told 5 to 10 minutes only to wait over an hour for unseasoned chicken wings and a subpar chicken sandwich then I was told I needed to wait longer because they had to make the watermelon drink fresh at this point I was already pissed, I never got the drink this place is super overhyped if you value your time I wouldn't even bother read more

So fresh and juice the chicken not dry man I love they chicken honey butter sandwich I'm going today.

If you want a off the wall chicken sandwich, that is Instagram ready. Come check out hot shy chicken. A very unique and delicious type of chicken sandwich. Everything is good including the lemonade. I recommend this bar for the chicken sandwich lovers. Make sure you try that Popeyes and s*** sandwich read more

Everything looks so good but the Popeyes ain't crap is not good at all. Way to much batter and seasoning will not get again

I placed a pickup order for food and to my surprise a lot of the items looked good online but in person it's a different story. I ordered the wings in medium for myself and the hot honey chicken sandwich in mild, Mac n cheese with the watermelon sugar and sweet tea to drink. We'll start with the positives: the honey hot chicken sandwich was everything and more! The sauce had a nice flavor sweet and spicy and the chicken was juicy and tender. The meals both came with fries that were crunchy and plentiful but some sauce on the side would've help its case. The drinks could've been better; the sweet tea wasn't sweet just flavored with peach and the watermelon sugar drink wasn't the best it could've been but bearable. The wings did not match the pictures with the added seasoning and they were pretty big for party wings. Not to mention they gave me the wrong heat level (mild) but even still they weren't anything different and definitely not worth $13. The Mac and cheese was a total letdown, literally tasted like cheese and noodles with no extra flavor! Very bland and very disappointing. The packaging could be better since the sauces were seeping through the paper box container, maybe adding a layer of foil or parchment paper would contain the sauce and such. I would recommend sticking to the hot honey sandwich or just any sandwich if you're looking for a new thing to try. Imo it's not worth the price so try at your own risk! read more
