    I've been meaning to try Rude Rooster and finally got around to it. The parking lot is narrow and tight, with one entry lane and one exit lane, so keep that in mind if you come at a busy time. It's in the same strip mall as Kebab Bey and MOTW. The interior of Rude Rooster is fairly big and looks decent. I like how they have a huge menu posted right up on the wall before you reach the ordering counter, so you don't have to look up and behind the counter. Their menu is similar to other hot chicken places, with tenders, fries, sandos, etc. I ordered a 3-tender combo with mild heat level. It included fries, toast, coleslaw, and Rude sauce. The tenders were generous in size, but a bit on the chewy/tough side. The fries had a very tasty seasoning. The toast was decent, and the coleslaw was tasty. The Rude sauce had some kick to it; definitely not as sugary as the orange sauce at other chicken places. I will say, too, that the mild version at Rude Rooster has a little more kick than the mild version at other chicken places. Overall, it was an enjoyable meal. Not the best chicken I've had, but not bad. Pricing was on par with other chicken places and service was not rude.

    Rude Rooster in Lombard is a great new spot for Nashville-style chicken, smash burgers, and southern sides. I really loved the corn riblets and the chicken wrap. The food is halal and made fresh, which makes it an easy choice. The only downside is that the parking lot is small and shared with an apartment/condo complex, so it can feel a little unclear whether you'll be towed. Otherwise, the service is friendly and the atmosphere is sports-trendy, clean, and I left already planning to come back.

    Chicken tenders and smash burger

    Shoutout to Rude Rooster for making tasty burgers and chicken! I surprisingly liked the burger more here. And that's no knock on the chicken. The fries were nicely seasoned as well with a hint of cilantro. A very cozy restaurant space as well. Will definitely come back here!

    Deep fried corn. Yum!

    My waistline is not gonna like this! Been waiting all winter for this to open. Well worth the wait! I ordered the deep fried corn and the Nashville Sando Combo, spice level hot. I saw the photo of the corn and wanted to give it a try. It was delicious. Perfect texture and their added spice hit the spot. For the combo, the fries were seasoned and crispy. Now, I travel to Nashville for work and have had many a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich. This competes with the best of them. The bun was perfect, the coleslaw was amazing, pickles perfect! I like the chicken hot and spicy and this was outstanding. Little burn on the lips (they have many levels), but not where you couldn't eat it. HUGE pieces of chicken breast, and cooked to perfection. Juicy, but not overcooked. A LOT of food. Nice. I'll be back to try the smash burgers! This place is tucked in. Go find it. Well worth it. This easily can be a meal for two.

    Great Mac and cheese !

    The rub on the chicken had a foul taste to it. Chicken itself was moist but just tasted weird- could not finish it.

    A gathering of ex-coworkers always means two things: great belly laughs and constant tea flowing…read more Pair that with good food and ACTUAL good tea, and you've got one for the books! We tried several things from this cafe, and everything was phenomenal, but there was one thing that was beyond all the stars, but here's a breakdown of it all: Potato Savory - so basically if you're looking for chaat, this is it. They call it savory, we call it chaat, but in either case, you can tell this isn't something pre-made and slapped into a bowl. The veggies were crunchy, not soggy. The chutney was sharp, but not overwhelming. And all the condiments and veggies and chickpeas together made a cohesive dish, well balanced. Definitely recommend. 8.5/10 Chicken Club Sandwich - this sandwich is....a LOT. In a good way! The pulled chicken is seasoned well. It's massive and there is a lot of flavor in each bite. This gives Chai Ho Jai (Naperville) a definite run for its money. 9/10 Filli Chicken Seasoned Flatbread - we tried this one second, and my God, it's a definite 10 out of 10! 10/10. Dynatime Chicken Flatbread - okay, so we tried this flatbread first, and I thought it was a 10/10, but then I tried the other flatbread and realized this was a definite 11/10! Lacha Melt Chicken - this was great, very akin to a quesadilla with a paratha. Unique concept, yes, but not my favorite thing here. And yet, well seasoned and delicious. 8/10! Pistachio Latte (Iced) - this was a stand out. This latte was SO delicious, I got one - everyone took a sip, and then we ordered more! Sooooo goooooooood!!!! 10/10! Now let's get to the STAR OF THE SHOW: The FRIES - the fries that came with all the entrees were hot, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The perfect specimen for a fry. Add to that the lovely spice powder sprinkled on top of them - they are delicious, melt in your mouth, and in addition to being the perfect accompaniment to the food, they're absolutely great all on their own! 100/10! Definitely recommend this place - the ambience and the service are both absolutely great. As long as the taste of the food remains consistent and this place remains clean and hospitable, this is going to be one of the top notch places in the area. Don't overcrowd the menu, either, it's perfect as it is!

    Came to the Filli Cafe today with my family -…read more The cafe has a nice open ambiance which can seat a decent amount of seating. The tv also had some random first person view of walking in a third world country which was strange - come bro play some Shah Rukh Khan music at least! The customer service is fast and friendly. We ordered the following items: - Masala Paneer Flat Bread - Chicken Dynamite Flat Bread - Paapdi Chaat - Chicken Shawarma Bowl - Butter Chicken Bowl - Chicken Dynamite Sandwich - Masala Fries - Zafrani Chai Honestly the taste wasn't there for me the fusion of Chaat with pizza and burger is not it. Overall mid experience :/

    The restaurant table set up is kind of bizarre. Different sized tables in the middle of the room…read more The tables all advertise the business The food however, is pretty good. The order area is nice and the electric menu boards are easy to read. We ordered the 10 piece bone-in chicken wings, in buffalo sauce. We were hoping that they had blue cheese as a dipping sauce but they don't. So we picked the ranch dipping sauce and it was just OK. When I first saw the chicken wings I thought they were gonna be crispy, but they're actually not. They are very moist and cooked to perfection. We ordered cheese sticks and they were eight in the order and they were delicious. Nice and crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. We also ordered two of the bubble tea. I got the Taro milk tea and my husband got the banana milk tea. They both had the tapioca in them and were so delicious! Best I have had! Really cold and yummy! If you're in the area, you should definitely give this restaurant a try. Next time we are going to try the Zinger Burger!

    Picked up a double cheeseburger and small fries. Halfway through the sandwich i bit into something…read morethat I could not even chew. Seemed like a piece of plastic or gristle or something inedible. The fries were completely soggy. Just horrible. Threw both food items in the garbage. While waiting for my pickup order, I noticed many tables were covered with a plastic coating that had cracked or peeled partially off. I hope they take better care of their food preparation than the tables. And this has not changed since I first started coming to the restaurant about 2 months ago. Finally, as I was leaving the restaurant, The bar across the door had some very sticky junk on it that I had to scrub off when I got home. Never going back to this lousy restaurant!!!

When I went to pick up the food, they were so nice. I waited a while, but it was totally worth it. I also asked for extra bread, and they didn't have any issue selling me some extra.

    First off. Menu boards not working had to order via touch screen which I find insulting. Also…read morerequired I enter a phone number which again is not their business. Guy, was nice, bolted back to kitchen so I couldn't even ask questions. After I ordered (3 piece perch and 2 dark chicken) it asked for tip amount up front and wouldn't respond to changing it from 15%. The table I sat at waiting was deeply sticky. And wobbled. The windows and doors were filthy and the place just looked not clean or well maintained. And you couldn't see the kitchen. Which is a real hazard I waited 30 mins which is normal cooking time for chicken, I used to work for a chicken place for years. Right off the bat the fish smelled horribly old. When I got home I swear I was given catfish not perch. And even if it was catfish it smelled old. There was skin on the fish which should be removed for fried perch. The chicken was a small thigh and leg that was ok I guess. The mild bbq tasted like open pit. The fries were adequate at best. I ate a bit of the fish but I'm gonna pitch most of it as it doesn't even taste worth the risk the smell warns me of. I hope I don't regret the small bit I tried. The chicken was ok but generally way overpriced and you could get a better deal at Popeyes down the street or browns a couple miles away. Hell you could get about the same a jewel for a fraction of the price if it was made fresh. I thought Harold's was supposed to make good products. I've had much better at the shop attached to the bp at exit 19 off the Eisenhower exp. All said really disappointing meal for $21 after tax and tip. Also they don't give printed receipts. Another failing of the modern age. I'm giving a 2 cause the staff was ok.

We LOVED the Dixie Chick. We also loved the grape salad. The second time we went, we decided to eat in. We ordered a croissant with the Dixie Chick and a bowl of creamy chicken and rice soup. Everything was very good. We jokingly argued about who would get to eat the cookie when an employee stopped by our table and brought us an extra one. Awwww.
