    A nice restaurant with a good variety of traditional American meals. Breakfasts and brunches are the best!

    Burger Antics is one of the most fun and delicious burger spots in the area. They're always coming…read moreup with creative, flavorful combinations, one of my favorites had a ramp chimichurri that was so good I actually asked for a to-go container to take some home. The burgers themselves are top-notch, great blend, cooked perfectly, and packed with flavor. The drinks are also excellent, with a solid variety to pair with whatever you order. The staff is always friendly and attentive, which just adds to the experience. It's a place that clearly puts thought and creativity into everything they do, and it shows.

    Disclaimers: - No…read morethe inside isn't the biggest. I was a bit hesitant about that before going as well. - Yes it's really only a burger joint. They have different appetizers and things but not a super extensive menu Do not let these things deter you tho. They're just facts. This place was pretty delicious. Mac n cheese was (I think) the best I've had from a restaurant in a while. I love the type of fries that they pair with the burgers, they were fresh & not too salty. Our burgers were also very good. Apparently they have a new burger/dessert of the week each week so those items do change. They looked like they'd have good drinks too, I'd definitely come back to try. It can be a bummer that it's not a place where you can eat, drink, then hangout a bit so don't expect to be allowed to sit for too long. Service was also very nice

    After seeing a TikTok vid, I decided to give this spot a try. There was a parking lot but it was…read morefull so I parked on the street. Upon entering it was decent, clean, decor was sub par not the best. No menu listed but a monitor showing digital pics of dishes. The owner took my order; she was nice, friendly. It seemed like they were a bit over each other in the kitchen or with orders. I waited about 30 minutes but after inspecting bag they forgot to include the side of spaghetti and yams which were pretty small for $7 each. No music playing but in the next room they had a football game playing on tv. I ordered the fried chicken dinner for me with mac + cheese and cabbage. The chicken and mac + cheese were decent but cabbage was a bit dry, unflavorful. I also ordered the meatloaf for my other half with mac & cheese and garlic mashed potatoes. He said it was good. The spaghetti was good but the container was cracked and leaked in the bag. Yams were average, u can bypass them. Overall experience was decent but not superb. At least I patronize them.

    I always want to support black owners so I came back to eat at this location when it orginally…read moreopened with the orginal owner.. I see there is a new owner and I was so disappointed this time in the $79 cost for family meal to much for the quantity of food that was given and the presentation of the food look like it was heated up in styrofoam containers toxic (see pics)!! The dressing was good stove top with gravy, mac cheese noodles were melted cheese in a styrofoam container warmed up into the microwave, the chicken was good, but it was soggy because it was next to my greens, the yam's some were not done so they were hard. And they tasted watered down.It wasn't good! The taste of the food it was not like mama's.

    We recently tried The Original Chickies and had a mixed--but overall decent--experience…read more The staff was friendly and helpful, which definitely made a positive impression right away. The cheeseburger was okay, but the patty was smaller than expected and could have used a bit more seasoning to really stand out. It wasn't bad, just a little underwhelming compared to other spots. The loaded fries were a highlight--topped with cheese, Italian beef, and fresh jalapeños. They were flavorful and absolutely massive, easily a meal on their own. We also had the breaded steak sandwich, which was decent but could have used some jalapeños for extra flavor. Portion-wise, it was very generous and easily enough for two people to share. The chicken fingers were just okay--good size, but again, a bit more seasoning would have helped. The mushrooms were solid, and the onion rings were better than most--big and crispy--but there were quite a few broken pieces. We also tried the famous cannoli shake, which tasted exactly like you'd expect--a cannoli in liquid form. If you like cannolis, you'll probably enjoy it. Overall, not a bad spot with generous portions and friendly service, but some items--especially the burgers--could use a bit more flavor and a larger patty to really stand out.

    Every year during Lent, people ask me where to find the best fish sandwich…read more After trying the Cod Sandwich at The Original Chickie's Beef, I've got my answer--Chickie's in Hillside, Illinois! Perfectly crispy cod with tartar sauce and that classic, no-frills flavor that just hits right. It's only around Fridays during Lent, which makes it even more of a must-have this time of year.
