One thing is for sure: a return visit is in the cards within a couple weeks. As soon as the soda machine (for the water cups!) is installed, and the Hot Chicken Shawarma Wrap makes a comeback. In the meantime, I ordered a Hot Chick (medium heat), with a side of fries, some extra pickles, and the garlic sauce to make my Slavic heart happy. The food came out fresh from the bubbling oil, it could be handled without burns, but clearly spent no time under a lamp. Both the chicken and the fries were fried to a delectable crunch. No twice-fried-as-an-excuse here, genuinely well done. My only note is that it feels as though the fries and chicken *may* have spent an extra 15 seconds in the fryer. While the innards were tender, it felt as though a tinge of moisture was sacrificed without need. The fries were seasoned perfectly, and other than the usual delight of dipping them into everything on the plate, they were perfect as they were. Fantastic amount too, not the starch overload of Five Guys, but not a skimpy serving either. The chicken sandwich was the real star. The medium contained some proper spice without having smoke come out the ears. It was well sauced, and had a great hit of acid from the pickles. Out of left field came the slaw: I was not expecting to like this to the point of almost leaving it out. However, it was fresh, felt homemade, and wasn't a mayonnaise bomb. Would order the again without complaints or reservations. I also had a chance to try their house-made lemonade. I appreciate that they use zero-calorie sweetener to cut down on sugars. However, it came out too sweet for my liking. It would be helpful to have options of level and type of sweet. Final notes: The server behind the counter was very welcoming and friendly, and the food came out in a reasonable time frame considering how fresh everything was. Final verdict: A case where I say it's a good thing Nash Bros is a little bit of a hike, otherwise I might visit too much for my health. Barring some minor notes, everything was scrumptious, and I'd happily order it all again (and likely will!) read more

I checked out this restaurant for the first time recently as we were in the area and wanted to grab dinner. So we decided to give Nash Bros a try. We got here about 30 minutes before closing time. The restaurant was somewhat busy w/ dine-in and carry-out orders. I ordered their original Nashville Hot fried chicken sandwich made Xtra Hot based on their heat level offerings (which was the highest heat level) and my wife ordered their Honey Butter fried chicken sandwich with mild heat level. I also got their House Fries that were seasoned crinkle cut fries. We asked for cups of water but were told that they were out of cups, so either buy water or can of pop. They did not have fountain drinks. The food came out shortly. My etra hot sandwich tray was tagged as 'Hot' w/ three symbols. I asked them if that meant the sandwich was just 'Hot' and not 'Xtra Hot' and I was told that if I ordered extra hot then it meant it was extra hot. My sandwich was really delicious. The flavor was good and the texture was nice. The Xtra Hot flavor was not overwhelming but also it did not seem like the extra hot they said I should be mindful of because it was going to be very spicy. My sandwich was decently crunchy and the pickles and coleslaw had a tad bit of sweetness that went well with the heat of the fried chicken. The Brioche bun was well toasted. The fried chicken patty was decent in size. The Honey Butter fried chicken was a major letdown. It's a sandwich in Brioche bun w/ fried chicken and only spicy honey butter (no pickles or slaw). The bun and the fried chicken were drenched in melted butter but there was no taste of sweet heat or just sweet honey. The fried chicken patty didn't have any flavor either. We mentioned it to the staff members and they apologized for the way it turned out for us. The crinkle cut fries were okay. They were soft and unevenly seasoned. The seasoning was decent in taste. Overall, we had a decent experience. The service was okay. My original Nashville hot chicken was delicious but the Honey Butter chicken sandwich was anything but delicious. The restaurant aesthetics were decent. They have a live band performance area. It's a nice, friendly restaurant with a decent menu variety. We weren't wowed by the food but I would say that the original Nashville Hot fried chicken sandwich was worth trying. read more

The chop cheese sandwich was really good -- hot and super filling. Honestly, I was surprised how empty it was because they have a ton of options on the menu. Only downside was the service. The clerk told us to use the kiosk right away with no greeting, which felt a little cold. The sandwich was $13 and worth it, but it would've been nice if fries were included. I guess that's just how it is now. Good food overall, just not the best service! read more

I've been searching out a good smashburger in the area, something that compares with Small Bar downtown, but have yet to find it. Nash Bros does a great job on theirs. I also dig the fries, especially the seasoning, although the last time they arrived cold. I assume it was the delivery time though because usually everything arrives within a decent time, hot and fresh. I need to try the chicken next, as this place is already in a weekly rotation for me. Keep it up! read more

Nash Bros - Side Chick 2-Piece Tenders, Smashville Double Cheeseburger - Chicken Shop Near Me - Niles, Illinois

Nash Bros has a decent chicken sandwich nothing really special. I ordered a chicken sandwich with fries. My heat level for my sandwich was a medium. I got coleslaw and cheese on there, not gonna lie I was a little disappointed that they put a cold piece of cheese on my chicken sandwich (I Don't recommend cheese, doesn't add anything to the sandwich No taste waste of money) but other than that, the flavors were good chicken was tender and juice and paired really well with the coleslaw and a very soft brioche bun witch was nice. One of the main reasons for the four star is because the service was amazing! Very kind, greeted right away. The gentleman was very patient in explaining the menu. The restaurant is new and very clean. The one thing I don't like is the location, It's off of Milwaukee in the same parking lot as panda express but hidden behind. 100 % Recommended! read more

There are multiple definitions of hot, let's be clear. 1. Hot, as in temperature 2. Hot, as in spice level. 3. Hot, as in attractive. Not used in this review. The parking lot was crowded at lunch so I debated going in but the restaurant was fairly empty so not sure where all the people were. The counter person was very helpful in explaining the menu, which is based on Nashville hot chicken, and has varying levels of hotness (definition #2). I ordered the Hot Chick (definition #2), which is a chicken sandwich with pickles, coleslaw, sauce. I also made it a combo with fries and a drink. The staff person very helpfully suggested I get the sandwich cut in half and sauce on the side. There are booths along the wall as well as tables. There's a drumset in the front, so maybe they have live music? Cute neon signs throughout. The food was very hot (definition #1) when it was brought to me. I took a bite and some hot (def #1) oil or liquid squirted and burned my cheek (face). Ow! I was glad the sauce was on the side. Though mild, I still found it very hot (def #2). The sandwich was very large, chicken was thick and cooked well, and the sweetness from the pickles and crunch from the sandwich was very welcome. The fries, seasoned, crinkle cut, were ok. There was still steam rising from the hot (def #1) sandwich. My mouth was on fire from the hot (def #2) sauce, my cheek was still throbbing from the hot (def #1) liquid and I was uncomfortable so I took my food to go. If you are a fan of hot (def #1 and #2), you will enjoy the food. read more

The restaurant's location seems so hidden in the back, but there's plenty of parking. It was a quiet evening during dinner time on a Saturday which was surprising to me. Prices are comparable to other hot chicken places. Spiciness of the chicken was really good. Spicy is actually spicy and not "just a kick". The nachos were loaded. The waffles were good. There's a space for live music so I'm sure it can get lively. I wish there was more thought in decor and storage in the restaurant, especially since it's an established place. read more

Great service at a cool restaurant with really good food! I got the two tenders with the toast, and they were all great. Medium was not as spicy as I thought, I could've gone hot. The toast was so buttery and good. And the fries were elite! I'd definitely recommend my friends here! read more

Came here on a Wednesday evening. Doesn't seem that busy. Walking in there's a sign that said "hot chicks inside" which made me laugh. Surprised me with the country music playing. Their menu is pretty simple. The spice level ranges from naked no seasoning to xtra hot. I got the regular (there's a Chicago style with giardinera) hot chicken sandwich with medium spice. I love spicy but didn't want to go too crazy my first time here with the spice and not be able to try and enjoy the sandwich for what it is. The spice was there and didn't over power it. I'd be willing to try the next spice level up next time. The combo of the crispy chicken and the coleslaw and the brioche bun, hit the spot. Also got the house fries with cheese sauce. It's crinkle cut fries and the combo with cheese was delicious. If you want to add just the perfect amount of spice to every bite instead of the getting it on the whole sandwich, get the spicy ranch on the side! Decent amount of seating inside for a chicken spot. Also a cute little waiting area with nice chairs. Definitely coming back to try the smash cheeseburger and onion rings!! read more

I'm guessing this quirky place was a bar at one time. I fact, there's a drum set on a raised stage in front of the window. The quirky interior is all black and red. The gentleman at the bar, er, I mean register was polite and just a wee bit quirky himself. Menu prices aren't quirky, but they are pretty good. I had a Chicago Style Hot Chick sandwich. It was a fresh chicken breast on a toasted brioche bun with hot giardiniera. Very good. My fiance had a Side Chick slider, a chicken tender on a toasted brioche hot dog bun. She wimped out and got the mild sauce. She really liked the coleslaw on it too. Their crinkle fries were fairly crispy and well seasoned. The staff and customers were almost all Indian. Country music was playing and NFL football played on the tvs. That is quirky. I like quirky. Four stars from her, but the quirkiness pushed it to a five for me. read more

Jackie was great hostess will be back soon Chicken well preparedjuicy tender and crisp

Great burger, even better fries, and friendly hostess. Closes late, perfect for quick takeout. Recommended for a straight ahead, simple, burger and fries type of meal if you're looking for a change of pace from Portillo's. I didn't try the chicken, so I can't comment on it. This is functionally similar to someone who reviews Cheesecake Factory after eating the chocolate cake, but take it for what it's worth! read more

Second time visiting but this time I dined in the restaurant. I had another side chick slider because I already know that's good! I decided to try the smash fries this time, and although it's tasty, I preferred the season fries and will stick to ordering that. My kids tried the mac and cheese, and they loved it. read more

This was a very nice sports bar type resturant. There was a drum set in the front so I'm guess maybe they have entertainment at times. The staff was friendly and explained their entrees to the best of their knowledge . The food is hot like Nashville is supposed to be. If you like Spices hot chicken go for it . The naked and mild were still Spicey for our taste so I took the breading off the chicken. The chicken was prepared nicely . It's not my thing but I'm giving a good rating because I'm sure if that's your taste you will love it. Keep smiling o read more

Stopped here later at night for dinner and it truly is a hidden gem. We got a couple items and the hot chick was the star. We got medium and it had good spice. The smash fries were so good. It had chunks of beef on it with nacho cheese. The owners are super nice and asked how we found out about them. Overall, I would come back and try their other items. If you're a fan of Nashville style chicken sandwiches, I'd recommend this place. read more

Have been eyeing this spot for awhile. Right nearby the house and figured today was a great day to give it a shot. Its a nice casual spot with a pleasant ambiance, plenty of seating and friendly staff. We were greeted right away and he helped us pick out our options. We got the Hot Chick (most popular), Nash Nachos and Boneless tended bites. Food came out in a reasonable time and everything was definitely made fresh. I had the Hot Chick, medium spice. The chicken was thick, juicy and crispy. The coleslaw and pickles added an excellent contrast to the spice from the chicken and the sauce. The boneless tender bites were each crispy and the nash sauce was perfect to dip it in, with just the right amount of kick. The Nash Nachos is huge! Great portion with excellent ratio of nachos, chicken pieces, coleslaw, pickles and sauce. Overall, they did a great job with everything. I love fried chicken and I'm super happy to have such a great spot right nearby. Will definitely need to return to try more on the menu! read more

Nash Bros is a hidden gem within a hidden gem. This new 100% Zabiha Halal Nashville Fried Chicken spot in Niles hits your taste buds at different points in your eating experience. Let me start with the vibe. You walk into a Nashville themed restaurant that has dine in and take out. The colors are that of a country vibe, there is country music playing in the background and they even have live bands and a stage at various times in the month. There are TVs throughout the location and they have a sit up bar seating for people who want to watch the sports games or eat by the front. I especially love the room you walk past when you walk in which has nice seating and a IG wall that has a sign for great photos. Let me move on to the food: the menu is simple but executed beautifully. There is a Hot Chick sandwich and a Side Piece Tender. You can do either of those options with fries and drink and comes in 4 flavors: mild, medium, hot and naked(very light seasoning and spice) I ordered the Hot Chick sandwich in Hot with fries and Drink. The bun was soft and pillowy with the right amount of toasted butter. It melted as I took a bite. The chicken was crispy on the outside but moist in the inside. The hot oil and seasoning I could taste and had a great kick for people that would like spicy. It was the right amount of heat for me and made me enjoy the sandwich to the last bite. The chicken quality is unparalleled. Pure white meat and pull apart while being fully cooked all around. The spices are also in the chicken itself which I find amazing because they marinade the chicken in their seasoning beforehand and I can tell in the taste. Very well-done! The cole slaw is sweet and tangy and brings a nice balance to the sandwich. The pickles are sweet and also a nice touch. Let me get into this sauce. The sauce is next level- when you order make sure you order extra Nash Sauce: it is a mix between a spicy and creamy sauce and it pairs so well with everything. It has a small kick and a little sweet but it packs a punch. The sauce makes the whole experience so well rounded. The fries are crinkle cut and come sprinkled with their special blend seasoning. Fresh and crispy. They do not get soggy like most places and pair perfectly with the sandwich or tenders. I loved everything about this place and the staff is friendly and always making sure everyone is satisfied. You got to come check this place out asap. They are doing big things here and I am so glad a new fried chicken spot is here and to stay! read more

One of my new favorite Nashville chicken sandwiches! I ordered a mild chicken sandwich and the spice level was perfect. It was served very fresh, hot, and the chicken itself is huge piece of tender chicken. The seasoned fries were outstanding and seasoned well. I tried a bite of smash burger and it was delicious too. There was a hint of sweetness, just the perfect amount, not overpowering. Got the mild spice and it was just perfect level for a burger. Got the meal and the fries were well seasoned. Overall was really good! Highly recommended if you're looking for a good chicken burger. The ambience of the restaurant was really nice as well. Big thanks to the staff for an awesome service and experience. read more

Was driving with the husband trying to decide where to eat when we noticed the new sign for Nash Bros and decided to check them out. Theie menu is pretty simple, you have the hot chicken sandwich, you have the hot chicken tenders, and you have the combo that comes with one of the above, fries and a drink. They were out of tenders by the time we got there so sandwiches it was! We did combos which came with mildly seasoned crinkle cut fries and a glass bottled drink. We had our doggo in the car so we had to take it to go. Omg sandwich was mouthwatering, so juicy and tender. Huge piece of chicken with a thick crunchy breading, slaw, on a soft pillowy bun. And you really can't got wrong with crinkle cut fries so it was a delicious and very satisfying meal. With a menu so simple, they have to hit it out of the ballpark and they definitely have a home run with their chicken. Located in the little plaza behind Panda Express, be sure to check them out! read more

I placed an online order on a weekday afternoon and there was only one table occupied at the time. My food wasn't ready when I arrived but I only needed to wait an extra ~5 minutes. Hubby and I both had the hot chick (brioche bun, fried chicken, coleslaw, pickles, nash sauce). I skimmed through the reviews and some of them mentioned that it is spicier than expected so I decided to go with a mild spice level and hubby went with naked but with seasoning. They were both much spicier than we anticipated. I normally enjoy eating spicy food and typically get my food medium hot to be able to eat comfortably. The chicken sandwich was good but their mild spice level is probably the equivalent of what I'm used to eating for medium spice level. Hubby cannot eat spicy food and even the naked chicken sandwich with seasoning was too spicy for him (lol). We also shared a side of cheese fries. The fries were seasoned well and the cheese also had a kick to it (which I enjoyed but hubby probably didn't). Overall, the food is good and I'm glad we found a new place nearby for chicken sandwiches. read more

Well where do I start their food amazing and I get it every single Friday. Their service is not like a super great restaurant because they are still growing and I get that, I usually do takeouts but whenever I go there with friends and eat there the ambience feels really good and we have a good time. My favorite are the Nash fries cause you can the taste of the chicken, fries and almost everything else. I hope they open a new restaurant somewhere else but for now they are really good. read more

Very simple menu! Only 2 options and an add on for fries and drink. The interior was very simple as well and clean. I have a very very weak stomach for spice so I got the naked hot chick sandwich. You can get mild or medium or hot! However I will admit that the sauce they use was pretty spicy in itself. I went with a group of friends and they all enjoyed it! It was very casual vibes inside and the workers were smiling and seemed to enjoy serving the food. read more

Nash Bros - Mild chicken sandwich - Chicken Shop Near Me - Niles, Illinois

Hot chicken is indisputably Nashville's most iconic food - and Nash Bros serves it authentic. I'll be bold and even say this was better than what I had in Nashville! Mind you, I tried all the classic spots: Hattie B's, Prince's, etc., and never in a million years would I have thought my favorite hot chicken meal would be right here in Niles IL. We ordered the mild chicken tenders - the chicken was juicy and tender, while the breading was nice and crunchy. One thing I do have to note here, however, is although we ordered the mild - it was spicer than what I expected it to be. Nevertheless, the flavor and texture was outstanding all around. There is no doubt I'll be a regular customer here. read more

I went on a Sunday night and the wait was about 20 mins. I got the medium chicken sandwich with a cake jar. The sandwich was perfectly seasoned and had an enjoyable heat to it. I wish they double coated the chicken in flour to get a crunchier coating but, it was still good regardless. The coleslaw and pickle were nice touches! I'd say this is up to par with Chi Tea in Lombard in the halal chicken sandwich game. P.S. They are not open everyday. Check their Instagram for open hours @nashbros read more
