Service was friendly and the prices were quite reasonable. The empanadas were large and crispy. The filling was subtly flavored, which is very Venezuelan - NO SPICE! I was a bit disappointed with the service however. I order a pastelita and finished both empanadas needles it came out. I asked the waitress to cancel it. The food I had was good, but I don't appreciate having to cancel a dish because it's taking too long.

I had a strawberry margarita and Modelo as a beverage. Margarita is fresh and not premade strawberry mix and liquor content is standard. I have also had empanadas, caldo de Res soup, seafood soup, steak tacos, and pollo enchiladas verde during my visits. I have never had a bad meal and I have always had left overs.

I was pleased to find that The Original Chickies was listed on Uber Eats when I searched for it. It…read moreis a restaurant that always catches my eye while driving down Roosevelt Road en route to my barber. Its 4.9-star rating out of 20 ratings was the assurance I needed that I would have a quality experience. Looking through the menu at Chickies, I was interested in the Cheese Ravioli, Eggplant Parmigiana with Mozzarella & Red Sauce, Hand-Cut French Fries, and Jumbo Pizza Slice with a drink. I must say that I was surprised to see so many Italian items on the menu at Chickies because I always pictured it as a burger restaurant. I ended up ordering their Eggplant Parmigiana with Mozzarella & Red Sauce because it was the one thing my taste buds desired at the time--other than a slice of pizza, which I can honestly eat every day and not get bored of. I love ordering online for the convenience and the ability to schedule a pickup time. Most of the time, my orders are ready--or nearly ready--upon arrival. By the time I reached the restaurant, my order was being finished behind the counter. While waiting for my order, I just could not resist ordering a cherry milkshake--a rare item for me to see on a menu--while browsing through the menu to kill time. I joked with the employee that it is an item that will surely lure me back to Chickies. Because of this smooth experience, the likelihood of me ordering online from this location again is very high. "Mmmm... That is good!" was my first response after taking a sip of the cherry milkshake, which tasted exactly as it sounds. I had quite a few sips before even driving out of the parking lot at Chickies. It was so good that my mouth watered between sips, and I failed to take any pictures of it--which you will have to forgive me for. I was very pleased with the size of the Eggplant Parmigiana with Mozzarella & Red Sauce. It was beautifully presented and tasted delicious! Each bite offered a perfect blend of savory eggplant and rich red sauce, so I wasted no time finishing it. If you are staring at the Chickies menu and cannot decide what to get, look no further than the Eggplant Parmigiana with Mozzarella & Red Sauce--it will leave you feeling thoroughly satisfied. Being that I had a great ordering experience, I would surely order from The Original Chickies again whether it be Uber Eats delivery or takeout whenever visiting the area.

But I entered the soul food circus. The parking lot!!! As much money as they bring in it is night time to refigure the parking situation. It's cramped, no flow of in and out and it takes forever to get out. Or in. Once in, I waited to place the order but there was so much chaos! Wrong orders, orders never made, customers ordered items, waited only to be told the item they had been waiting on was sold out, changed the item and wait some more. Door dash and pickups were extremely chaotic and the waiting room was crowded. One woman was literally waiting 30 min on an extra order of potato salad. It seems like ordering ahead did not help cut down on anyone's wait time. I had no issues with staff. They remained professional in the midst of this chaos but I would just like to see more organization to their set up!!! I truly want to support local, especially POC, but I can't waste any more time hoping for them to get it together or revamp their systems. I can't speak to the taste of the food because I only order cornbread. After today, Jiffy Mix will be back in rotation because I can't handle this much chaos and stress.

My waitress was Vicki and she was pretty pleasant, so that was a plus. The fish ceviche opener is a real nice touch - though I'd prefer fresh cooked chips with it over the crunchy tostada pieces they serve. I ended up ordering shrimp empanadas for starters; $6.99. They were cooked/fried just right as they had a very light brown color, not greasy at all and were piping hot. Came with a "Thousand Island-like" sauce which suited them well. Enchiladas Coras was my entrée choice, this was pretty good and priced at $11.99. Refried beans, rice and a salad (I've never understood why so many Mexican restaurants insist on including a salad with their entrees and put the cold lettuce and veggies on a hot plate - no sense to me, but that's another soapbox). Another reviewer noted that the salsa tastes like seasoned lime juice - I'll second that opinion. It would be nice if they had better and maybe a choice of 2-3 salsas. Reasonably priced Pacifico's at $4.75 each. But overall for me, a good experience. I've been by there when it's busy and I don't think I'd enjoy the place when it's like that. But on a quiet Monday night, it's worth a shot. One thing I will say is that I know seafood isn't cheap nowadays, but this place is generally a bit on the pricey side for the kind of atmosphere there. About half of the plates and silverware you get are to-go type stuff. With entrees in the $20 - $60 range on the menu (mine was one of the least expensive), the "to-go" stuff seems a little tacky.
