Like many I was drawn to Chicken Shop by way of its Instagram photos. I work about 20 min away and figured I'd take the commute to try its Chicken and Waffles. I'll keep this short- No where does it say Chicken and Waffles are only available on Wednesdays. The waiter casually laughs off my frustration ( the whole reason I came.) I then decide to try the wings, they look delicious...But you can't get wings on Thursday. Are you serious? My waiter recommend I go with the Fried Chicken Sandwich- It was forgettable. Half of the The Dirty Balls I ordered for my appetizer were hollow (supposed to be filled with Cheese and bacon) I won't be going back. Sucks that I hyped this place up and talked my friends out of eating at Pork Chop down the street. :/

Delicious chicken.. As clear as the name would state, this is definitely their forte. Went in on a Sunday, had the chicken and waffles and the enormous chicken sandwich. The waffle was a little on the tough side but nothing a little of that egg gravy couldn't take care of. Mac and cheese was very different - a nice salty blend of cheeses, cornbread was ok the honey butter was perfect to mask the dryness, fries were perfectly crinkled! I can't wait to go back and try the rotisserie chicken I'm hoping it was as good as the fried!

Don't go. While the service was excellent and it's located in the swanky new SOHO hotel it is super overpriced, average tasting chicken. I went with some friends and we shared a half chicken and a fried chicken sandwich and a side of collard greens. Again, no complaints on the service, and the atmosphere is hipster cute with old school tables, chairs and decor. The chicken is not really rotisserie because they steam cook it and then just stick it on the rotisserie for the last 10 minutes to brown the skin. As a lover of crispy chicken skin, this was a no go because the skin was soggy and sad. I found the chicken lacked seasoning, although it was moist. It was just ok, but to be honest, the $5 rotisserie chicken at your local grocery store tastes better and costs 1/4 of the price (Sam's Club has the best, in my opinion). The fried chicken sandwich was delicious and had the crispy skin that I crave. The homemade sweet pickles were delicious, and it came with an avocado aioli that my friends loved, but I asked to have on the side because I don't like avocado. It was a nice size, and if I ever came back I would get this instead of the "rotisserie" chicken, but for $12 I would recommend going to Wendy's or Chik-fil-A for 2 crispy chicken sandwiches, with 2 fries and 2 drinks. You'll get more, it will be much tastier and there will be more than enough to share. As for the collard greens, they were sauteed, so to me they were undercooked and had very little seasoning. The portion size was small and they were expensive to boot. My little sister also got a chocolate milk shake with a shot of Khalua. $12, for about 12 oz. Good, but nothing special, and you could barely taste the alcohol. It may have been homemade ice cream from a cow they milk daily on the roof, and only feed hand cut hay, but it tasted like a plain old chocolate milk shake. I had heard so much hype about how great the chicken is here, but honestly, I will not recommend, will not come back and can't understand how this place stays open. They don't have anything except chicken and sides on the menu, everything is unbelievably overpriced and worst of all, the food isn't that great. For 3 people our bill was $50, and only 1 of us had a drink. We all left still unsatisfied and went around the corner to Mariano's to get something else to snack on. If I'm going to spend that much on chicken, it better be the best chicken in the city and I better leave feeling satiated.

Chicken shop is exactly what it says....a chicken joint. Went around 7pm on a rainy Wednesday evening and were seated right away at the counter. The place was not very busy but the counter was full. Maybe it was the cute foreign cook because everyone at the counter was a girl. The menu itself isn't very large. Just a few choices (which frankly is a welcome relief in a world chalked full of Cheesecake Factory type menus). You have your choice of spitfire chicken in a few different sizes and a few sides. We settled on ordering the half chicken (large enough for two girls), Mac & cheese, butterleaf & avocado salad, and coleslaw. It was also our lucky night as the restaurant was changing their menu the next day and adding two additional items: a hamburger and collard greens. Both of which we got to try for free! Let's start with the main entrees. The chicken was juicy and had a nice slightly woody smoke to it from the wood fire. I also tried the house sauce and wasn't a big fan. Not bad just not fond of them. However, the big winner tonight was the burger. Juicy and a bit sloppy but worth it. It rivaled au chavel's burger. As for sides my winners were the coleslaw and the collard greens. The Mac & cheese was a complete miss for me. The coleslaw was a creamy mayo based style but wasn't overly drenched which they often tend to be. The collard greens aren't your Deep South ham hock style. Instead they are still crisp with a bright lemony flavor. My one big grip for the evening was the sugar for my ice tea. As a southerner in Chicago I've gotten used to not having sweet tea as an option and am used to adding the sugar myself. When I asked for just plain/regular sugar I was brought a few packets (oh honey....I'm southern I like my sugar with a little bit of tea) of Splenda. Um....yuck. When I said that I wanted just plain ole white sugar I was brought the cubes of hard sugar typically reserved for coffee or other hot drinks that can melt the granules. All night I drank my tea and then crunched on the sugar. I know a small & trivial grip to most but I like my tea sweet.

Stopped by on a Saturday around 1:30 when Au Cheval and Little Goat Diner had 1hr+ long waits. Was pleasantly surprised and felt like we were taken back in time upon entrance. Has a retro diner type feel. Service was fine, nothing special. We both wanted the fried chicken sandwich and weren't willing to share so we both got our own. The fried chicken in the sandwich was so moist and crispy. The avocado aioli was on point and the red peppers gave it a nice mild kick. The part I didn't love, was that the lettuce was soggy about 3 bites into the sandwich. We split the coleslaw (i suggest topping your sandwich with it) and french fries. Both were great! Overall, I would come back and try the other (limited) items on their menu. Then, head downstairs and have a drink in the lobby of the SOHO house.

Very chill atmosphere located in SoHo House. If you don't want to wait for Au Cheval or Little Goat for brunch come here! It has a very old school feel to it and we went around 11:30AM on a Sunday. We were seated right away and has an old fashioned diner type of feel to it. Chicken Shop has a very limited menu, but they know what they are good at! On to the good stuff - I had the chicken and waffles with a latte. As a heads up, the latte was delicious and the same price as a normal cup of coffee, $3. If you only want one cup I would definitely recommend the latte. As for the chicken and waffles. AMAZING! This was served with a side of gravy and syrup. I thought this was super strange at first to put gravy on a waffle, but man was it worth it. Come here if you can for brunch to enjoy this dish!
(4)Ana M.
Came here last week because of a picture I saw on their Instagram. I ordered the same thing that was on the picture and the size difference was ridiculous. The food tasted good. The dirty balls were my favorite thing we had. We also order the dirty burger and the chicken sandwich, these were good as well, just very disappointed with the size.
(3)Dan C.
While there are more established restaurants in this neighborhood, this place is really on point and with a much shorter wait. A great, focused menu with some of the best chicken and waffles I've ever had. They serve the dish with an optional egg gravy, a concept I haven't encountered, and the gravy gives the plate a unique twist. The chicken sandwich and burgers looked awesome. I'll have to come back.
(5)Karen T.
Where can you go on Randolph in the West loop at 8 pm for dinner without a reservation? Girl and the Goat? ha - good one. ditto for little goat. But after knocking back a few at the Aviary we wanted some more substantial fare, and weren't in the mood to wait 45 minutes - 1 hour for a table. Enter Soho House and its new restaurants, still so new that people aren't aware it's there - and hence no line *whew*. Chicken Shop hit the spot perfectly - price point and all. Half a chicken for $14? *slow claps* the drinks aren't priced as cheaply - average for the neighborhood ($12 manhattans), but still, it was all a very nice bill. 3 of us split a half chicken, crinkle cut fries, corn on the cob and mac and cheese and took some home. The chicken was cooked well, the sides were all great standards. Corn on the cob came 3 to a plate with garlic butter drizzled over it as an option, and in particular it was delicious. I liked that they had the cowshed products in the bathroom - they were so lovely. I can't wait to check that spa out! It'll be rough to get back in here when word gets out, but I think it'll be worth it.

I was intrigued by the fact that they have just one main entree on the menu. The chicken did not disappoint! Very good blend of flavors and the meat was tender and juicy. The Mac and cheese was awesome as well... Loaded with real cheese! Unfortunately, the service was off the whole time. The waiter was forgetful and awkward. The thing that rubbed me the wrong way though was that we ordered a pitcher of the house wine and we were billed for the expensive wine. On asking the waiter to correct it... He replied that they had run out of the house wine and that they had served us with the expensive wine instead. How about you tell us that BEFORE serving it and not just bill us 25% more for something we didn't order in the first place?! I expected that they would correct the bill but they did not!

If a place is called Chicken Shop, and the only thing on the entree menu is Chicken (and one burger -- more on this later), the chicken better be AMAAAAAZING, right? Well, the quarter we got was super duper dry....how can a CHICKEN SHOP by name manage to dry out dark meat (we got the wing section...i wonder if it would be better if it was the leg quarter, but i am not sure if i would ever find out). The chicken was favourless except the skin. I, anti-condiment, actually used their spicy and smokey sauces... The dirty burger....it's probably the cleanest burger i have ever seen. the server said it has bone marrow...maybe that's why the burger isn't as dry as the chicken...but since it's called dirty burger, i was thinking a messy stack of thick meat, bone marrow, all the other fixing sandwiched in a yummmy homemade bun....well...it was the cleanest and tiniest $8 burger in a store brought buns....Epic burgers are probably dirtier, bigger and cheaper... nothing really to write home about on the sides either.. the service was good though... We went over to the Green Street bbq across the street to have some dirtier and juicier meat....

Ambiance was nice and our waiter was fabulous. We went as a group to try out this new chicken spot. We went on a Thursday which we didn't realize had more a limited menu. We really wanted to try the chicken and waffles, but apparently waffles are only made on Wednesdays?! We ordered a wide array off the menu and although I found it pretty bland, my husband and brother in-law loved their chicken sandwiches. Also, they NEED to get strawberry milkshakes on the menu. They have chocolate and vanilla--who drinks vanilla shakes? The apple pie and ice cream was delicious. Our waiter Brad was awesome and very patient and helpful when ordering. He really made the experience :). The drinks were yummy too.

Tried the chicken shop on a random Monday night.the atmosphere is great especially for a chicken place.the service was very good and attentive and the food comes out quickly as the menu list is direct and to the point. Had the half chicken which I found to be moist and flavorful with the sauces. The crust wasn't as crispy as I like but that is a personal preference. The sides ordered were coleslaw and corn on the cob.both were average but getting corn in the middle of winter is always dicey. It's a good call for a random night and easy to chill with friends. A definite come back and a solid three star place.
(3)Carmen G.
Im really surprised at all the reviews stating the chicken was dry. Came here last night w the BF ... we were hungry and couldnt decide btwn Au Cheval or Green Street. i kept on craving bread / carbs for some reason and immediately i thought mmm cornbread would be great rt now.. and lo and behold a lightbulb went off and we decided on Chicken Shop! Plus the option of having a lighter dinner (im lookin at u rotisserie chicken) was more enticing. We came in around 9pm. The hostess was super nice. We sat down immediately. The place is definitely dark but it is inside the Soho Hotel upstairs next to Allis. Anywho, we ordered the half chicken, cornbread, fries, and the fried chicken sammich. No drinks. Half chicken- Mmmm!! So juicy. Not dry at all! The rub on this was tasty. Had a sweet and salty taste to it. Definitely a fan. Cornbread: Oh my carby heaven. This comes w a honey butter. I grew up on generic Jiffy cornbread and this took me back to when i would whip up a batch when i was younger. Its def on the sweeter side... it perfectly crumbles and wasnt dry at all either. And the buttah.. don't get me started. Can i just rub it all over myself and lick??? Fries: Yummy. I'm a sucker for crinkle cut thick fries as these are. They remind me of the fries from Portillos. Crunchy on the outside nice and soft on the inside. They were yummy although a wee bit too salty for my taste. But no biggie. Fried Chicken Sandwich: Ooh is this huge! and yummy. its two fried chicken pieces in btwn the bread .. served w coleslaw. This would be like the perfect hangover meal if i was in the mood for chicken instead of a burger. Def a calorie bomb.. but def good. Service: Fast and courteous. Our server was super friendly.. explained the menu to us. As we were leaving she also mentioned that if we liked the place it would be worth checking it out during the wknd for brunch. She also mentioned that the fried chicken sandwich gets dolled up for the wknd with avocado, tomato and i forgot what else. Umm.. yes please! You had me at avocado , girl! Bottom Line.. I'm a fan.. and i'll be coming back pretty soon I hope. Just don't tell Sodikoff i'm cheating on Au Cheval / GSSM w the Shop. ;-)
(4)Cuitlahuac F.
Can't beat this place. I usually come here on Mondays when food and drink is fifty percent off, but this hits the spot any day of the week for me. I'll be back soon.
(5)Sofia J.
Short menu, but it has all you need. Reasonably priced, love that the chicken is raised on an Amish farm! Indulgent mac n cheese and best collard greens I've had in a restaurant- not smothered in sauce, just lightly sauteed and dressed with lemon/garlic.
(4)Anthony B.
Visited this location for Saturday brunch with a reservation through open-table.. Our favorite part was the decor and atmosphere of the restaurant, very trendy! Although the place is over-hyped, the food was pretty good! Both myself and friend got the chicken & waffles.. Surprisingly the chicken was better than expected, not much flavor but very juicy (my preference).. my favorite part was the waffles, very good! The service was great! I believe the young lady name was Shauna, very nice! Loved her energy. One star minus because of the sauces provided and portion size (they only give you one waffle). The lemon gravy sauce provided was flavorless and too thick! Also, the BBQ and Hot sauce on the tables had a weird taste to them and was not good, at all. I would suggest switching brands. Other than the lack luster sauces, I enjoyed the food & service and would be back!
(4)Christina E.
I really enjoyed my meal here. The chicken was moist and excellent. I had the mac and cheese and corn sides, and they were both great too. The prices and potions were reasonable, and the food came out incredibly fast. Minus one star for the rude hostess that nearly scared me away! Otherwise, I will be back!
(4)Vik M.
I'm always hesitant in going to these types of restaurants that specialize in chicken. If reminds me of the horrific time I had at Boston Market. We gave it a shot and the bad experience started when we got the meals. First off, the Mac n cheese came out last..and me tell you, it felt like the bottom of the barrel batch was served. The serving bowl was half full and was semi-warm. We asked the server what happened, and he gladly got us a new serving. It was piping hot and delicious. I ordered the half chicken - not spectacular by far. It was dry so I had to, unfortunately, use the not so great sauce to make it enjoyable (insert Lillie Q's sauce here). My friend throughly enjoyed his burger though. Our server was amazing and he did a great job. Not sure if I could come back though. Green Street Meats is across the street. Maybe that's why the chicken crossed road?!
(3)Carol G.
THE best chicken and waffles I've ever had! If you love good quality chicken, then come eat here. Not only is the food on point, but the service is too. It's sadly very hard to find a place with good quality food and service. This place is a bit hidden and located inside the soho house, so as soon as you walk in you make a right and go up the stairs. It's very small and quaint but good vibes all around :)
(5)Mihir P.
We were kindly invited back to CS after my original review. They corrected the dryness of the chicken and our server couldn't have been more polite and professional. They have their own smokey sauce and hot sauce but we thought that the hot was more smokey and vice versa. The atmosphere is still dark and draining. But I'd definitely come back for take out.
(4)Charlotte W.
Some of the best homecoming I have ever had, combination of rotisserie chicken, man n' cheese, greens, corn, and homemade sauces along with speciality bourbon lemonades could not make this experience any better. I did not know what I was getting into until I sat down in the perfect throw back to the 50's warehouse SOHO House environment. Everything flowed smoothly from walking into the restaurant, food, drinks and even the having the whole staff saying their goodbyes to us as we left.
(5)Evan T.
Fantastic chicken and waffles. This is only served during weekend brunch, but it's by far the best I've had in town. Their food is very simple and straight-forward, which is actually quite refreshing. The fried chicken is very nicely seasoned and is served with a very interesting egg gravy, which is definitely worth a go. The hot sauce is fantastic, as well. I've not yet explored the rest of the menu, but the Chicken and Waffles are plenty to keep me coming back. I've not seen this place crowed, so you should be able to walk right in. Non-alcoholic brunch drinks are lacking, though - on serve americanos (they don;t offer regular coffee?) and they have no fresh squeezed juices, despite the fresh squeezed prices. Also, watch out for the sparkling water - they charge $4 for an 8oz glass bottle, which is just goofy. Overall, great spot to grab a filling breakfast on the weekend.
(4)Azin J.
Obsessed with the chicken and waffles. best chicken and waffles I've had in Chicago but I wasn't a big fan of the regular chicken. Maybe it was the seasoning? My friend loved both items though so definitely give it a try for yourself.
(4)Timmy L.
Woke up on a Sunday morning craving for sumptuous chicken and waffles and remembered passing by his foodshop 2weeks ago and decided to drive with my girlfriend. We ordered chicken and waffles, half rottiserie chicken, biscuits and gravy with poached eggs. Coffee is unlimited, tea was as expected. I gave this review 3 stars for the roasted chicken, it wasn't fresh, first taste would tell you that this chicken was roasted the day before and just heated up. The original smokey sauce was ok. Chicken and waffles was one of the best. The place gives you a homey feeling compared to other breakfast diners. Worth a try but I am not coming back here.
(3)Jen H.
I was skeptical after reading some of the reviews. But I can honestly say I had a solid and delicious meal here. The service was also good and the time from ordering and getting your food was minimal. Who doesn't love that?? We had a large group of 8 with reservations and everything went smoothly. I split a half chicken with a friend which was plenty. The chicken was tender and hickey and flavorful. Not dry at all. I didn't even use the sauces! For sides, we had the Mac and cheese and corn on the cob. All of which were delicious. The corn on the cob was really tasty, i don't know what they seasoned it with but it was so good. We finished the meal by sharing apple pie a a la mode. It was satisfying but it wasn't the most amazing pie or dessert I ever had. Way too much pie and not enough ice cream. Overall I liked the food and service and prices, and I would return.
(4)Carly U.
By far ONE OF THE BEST RESTAURANTS I HAVE EVER BEEN TO!!! 1: the staff is so nice and very friendly! 2: we sat at the "bar" or diner I guess and we got to see the chef make the food and we got to ask him questions. 3: they have some very original foods there 4: the chicken had just the right about of spice! (Like seriously, perfect) 5: nice location too 6: EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE WAS PERFECT AND I CANNOT WAIT TO GO BACK!!!
(5)Jing C.
It is slightly pricey for a chicken sandwich and roasted chicken (22 for a whole chicken, 14 for a half, something like that). But I like the taste of it, especially the chicken sandwich. I am quite happy with the portion of the chicken sandwich too :)
(4)Oceans L.
This is a solid rotisserie chicken house in the downstairs of the new Chicago Soho House. Came for dinner and had their chicken with french fries, mac and cheese, and corn on the cob. As this is a place whose entree menu consists of One item - Chicken, I do admit that they do it right. The chicken was tender and juicy, even the white meat pieces although I tend to not like white meat. The flavor is tangy and savory, not too overwhelming one way or the other. For the sides, the corn on the cob was very good, sweet corn that's crispy with a good smokey flavor. The mac and cheese was seriously cheesy, please attempt with lactase (2 tabs) if you are lactose intolerant. For dessert, I had the apple pie, which I do recommend - the pie crust here is terrific, tastes like a butter cookie! The apple is tender and flavored well. The vanilla ice cream was a little off for me, for some reason it was slightly salty on my tongue... I would love it if they added a biscuit to the menu, b/c if I could get this rotisserie chicken with the corn and then a nice hot biscuit, that'd be a perfect 10 meal. I recommend this place for a quick dinner on a night when you still wanna go somewhere cute but don't feel like getting too fancy. I hear they have a brunch on weekends where they serve chicken and waffles. Would LOVE to come back to try that.
(4)Brandon H.
Love the food. We have been here four times. The only negative: Why do the servers think they the "right of way?"
(3)Kia P.
This is THEE WORST PLACE came in on a Friday after work the stated that they were having a kitchen issue and wouldn't open until 6:30. Although I had somewhere to be by 7:00 we decided to wait. My friends and I waited because they guaranteed us that they would open then at 6:30. Fast forward to 6:45 they told us they wouldn't open until 7:30 and were rude about it! I will never come here again nor would I recommend any to patronize this business.
(1)Anthony H.
Amazing comfort food & inviting atmosphere. Try the #dirtyburger & don't miss the Mac n Cheese.
(5)Justin F.
One of the Soho House's public restaurants, Chicken Shop caters to people wanting their poultry fix. From rotisserie chicken served everyday to fried chicken & waffles for brunch, you can have chicken prepared in various ways. Let me tell you right away that the fried chicken & waffles dish is one of the best in the city. With juicy fried chicken on top a crunch on the outside and moist on the inside waffle, this should want to make you go to their brunch.
(4)Sam C.
casual place in the soho hotel that is reasonable priced. the bar and restaurants are open to the public, unlike at other sohos. the chicken shop is a nice, casual place to grab dinner. soho doesn't allow shorts or sandals for guys, but other than that has no dress code. rustic feel, with delicious chicken and sides. butter lettuce salad, and mac and cheese were awesome. drinks were good, dessert are a must. servers are very friendly too. came during the soft opening, but everything was quick, delicious and there were no opening day bumps.
(4)West L.
Simple menu. We went for the Dirty Burger...only option other than rotisserie chicken. It was good...but not great. Agree about the review comments that there was nothing "messy" about the burger. It's rather small too. We also ordered fries and it was a bowl full of tiny crinkle fry pieces. Not sure if we got the last batch or what, but it was more like French fry crumbs than actual French fries. Overall we left very unsatisfied. The decor is cool and it's pretty cheap prices. Just not anything special.
(2)Adam P.
Fun ambiance. Good food. Reasonable prices. Fine service. I like the simplicity of the concept, although they are starting to add new items to the menu. Macaroni and cheese is tasty as well as the pies.
(5)Imogen S.
2 stars is based on the taste of the food alone. In all other aspects this restaurant fails horribly to be diner friendly. The sides come on small plates piled in a way that makes it difficult to serve (they're shareable). The chicken comes roughly chopped and at $22 you'd think at least cutting it correctly might be possible. The worst rub of the evening? Finding out that the 8 ounce diet coke I was served was $4 (no, I'm not exaggerating, I was given a tiny bottle of Diet Coke, marked "8 oz."). The food tasted good but was horribly overpriced, even for the neighborhood.
(2)Stewart V.
Although the menu and good at the chicken shop is simple, the taste is like it came from your own kitchen. The sides that are offered all pair nicely. The crowd is hip and the atmosphere is comfortable. Shout out to Chef Devin and Manager Laura. The prices are also quite reasonable.
(4)Antonio M.
Liked the atmosphere inside this SOHO House shop. Dropped in on a Monday night and enjoyed the pleasant/friendly staff. Ordered a whole chicken which was good but reminded me of "shake n bake" chicken when I was a kid. The Dirty Burger tasted pretty good. Coleslaw was alright. Mac n Cheese was just ok. The best thing I had was their Dirty Mule cocktail. The whole meal is pricy for what you're getting. I'll go back to try their Fried Chicken Sandwich, Corn on the Cob and desserts next time.
(3)Angela Z.
Very happy with my experience here! Huge points to the staff for being friendly and unpretentious. From the hosts to the manger, just great and that's everything right there. Alex the bartender was super knowledgable about all of the drinks and food and had great recommendations. My new favorite drink is the Bourbon Thyme Lemonade--WOW! I'm a huge craft cocktail person and this drink is up to my Violet Hour standards. I wish I could have one of these everyday, haha. Favorites were the Amish chicken that is perfectly cooked and the brownie dessert which is probably one of the best brownies I've ever had--perfect for chocolate lovers. I will definitely back. Thanks for kicking off my birthday week right! I only took off one star because I wish the food menu was a little bigger. Other than that, everything was spot on!
(4)Haydar M.
the food is semi decent, but the service is intensely lacking. felt the staff being a combination of stuffy/arrogant and yet at the same time very animated and loud. this is nothing like the chicken shop i went to in Kentish Town. the food is good. for some reason chicken in chicago has not tasted like the chicken in London anywhere.. but at least they've been loyal to the concept.
(2)Penny C.
$78 for a whole chicken and 5 small sides. NOTHING special about this place. Chicken was good, not great but it's pretty much the only thing they serve so I expected amazing. Same with sides. Just okay. Collard greens, most sides much better at Wish Bone and chicken is so so much better at Honey Fried.
(2)Nicole M.
I've eaten here twice and both times the chicken was fantastic. We didn't even need to add the sauces on the chicken as it already tasted great without them, but those were both good also. I have tried the fries, mac and cheese, and corn on the cob as sides which were all pretty solid. For dessert we split a piece of the apple pie which they cut out at your table from a large apple pie, super tasty! I love this new restaurant in the neighborhood and will definitely keep coming back.
(4)Thomas R.
First and only visit. Departed immediately after raw, pink gelatinous-in-the-middle fried chicken and waffles arrived. Never tasted it, thankfully. You would think in a restaurant specializing in chicken you'd be safe from being served raw chicken. Nope. Beware.
(1)Salwa H.
The fried chicken waffles are to die for!!! I like the hotel/ restaurant concept. Different but a nice ambiance all over.
(5)Wayne G.
First of all, this place looks like Don Draper and Roger Sterling's executive lunch room (minus the utensils and its holder). Second, the food/drinks are down right AWESOME. And third, hell..... I don't need a third after the first two. In all seriousness, I was in town for a Cubs game and made reservations for 2 via OpenTable. When we arrive the hostess sat us and told us about some of her favorite cocktails they served. Going with her recommendation, I went with the Rum Jug, which is said to serve 4 cups. My girlfriend ordered a Cucumber Crush and loved it. When it comes to the food, some of the best chicken HANDS DOWN! I ordered the chicken n waffles while my girlfriend ordered a dirty burger. Both were down right amazing and I even ordered chicken n waffles to go.

Why such low reviews? I came here on a Thursday night at 10:30 pm and it was about 1/3 full. I specifically came to eat so I walked straight up to the bar. On Thursdays the kitchen closes at 11pm and take last calls at 10:45, talk about right in the knick of time!! We got the chicken and waffles, chicken sandwich and of course a fatty side of Mac and cheese!!! I would have to say the chicken sandwich was my favorite but that's not to say the other two items weren't as good. The chicken sandwich consisted of toasted bread with sliced battered fried chicken with lettuce, pickles, spread and some jalapeño peppers. I absolutely thought the entire item as a whole was perfection. it is very filling and large enough to be shared (if you order a side dish as well). Reasonable price of $10 while theMac and cheese was also very flavorful and cheesy it was $8 and was a much smaller size. The chicken for the chicken and waffles was so juicy and crispy! Because my sandwich was such a large portion I didn't dive much into the chicken and waffles but I will come here again and update my review for that!! Ps Monday and tues the spot is 1/2 off everyyythingggg! ;)

I love this place, I come about once a week for either the chicken 'nd waffles or just dinner. I like the location, the staff, and that at times it is a healthier twist on soul food. I have been when the food was brought out cold or my chicken was dry enough for me to choke on. Though since they had their renovations I think they got new management, (I've seen new people working) and everything has been great. There have been times I had a small $5 salad and liked the service so much I would tip them $10 just because, you do not always get good service. You know? So it is recommended.

Finding this place feels like a win(ner winner chicken dinner). I haven't actually been to the restaurant, but I have ordered delivery via Caviar. I highly recommend their chicken as it's what they do best - Nothing short of breathtaking. Everything on the menu has flavor and is seasoned to perfection. I keep trying new menu items and am never disappointed. #obsessed

I got here 30 minutes early, and the staff was nice enough to let me stay at the bar and wait. Compliments to the staff for being so nice! While I was sitting at the bar on the first floor, I had time to admire the decor--trendy chic with its chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, its distressed abstract art hanging high on their ceilings in the far back, its Mad Men-esque lighting and furniture--you feel like you should be lounging there with a cigar lightly dangling between your fingers. Came here on a Sunday afternoon, zero wait time. Awesome. A+ for that. The chicken and waffles dish is amazing. The chicken is lightly breaded but not over-breaded. The waffles were soft with a hint of crunchiness. The syrup was sweet but not overly sweet. The lemon meringue pie was just okay. I'd recommend it if you're just not up for your usual chocolate-lover-dessert mood. My friend had the chicken sandwich and ate all of hers.. So I'd say that we were two happy campers!

Comfort food yum. Sometimes I get tired of fancy foods on Randolph Row (first world problems, I know) and all I want is a non fancy schmancy meal, I come to the Chicken Shop. Why not? It's comforting, they make good chicken. And--- the people at the Soho House are beautiful :) It's mainly rotisserie chicken here with sides. I'm a fan of the collard greens and crinkle cut fries. There are wings and nuggets you could get. And of course the Dirtyburger. The chicken and waffles--SO good. I ran 5K the next day at the gym to shed off some guilt. They have a full bar which means I get my Old Fashioned fix from here too.

Love the chicken sandwich! Good service. Love the place!!! Really a hidden gem. Go try it. Also the chicken and waffles are a must have.

Wouldn't call it a destination place but nice place to pop into for a bite of you want to avoid long waits and nearby places. Nice folks. Good, but expensive rich tasting burgers with bone marrow. the chicken sandwich and fries were ordinary. Nice casual, mid century rustic Americana space.

Nice patio seating. Deviled eggs were just average. Fried chicken sandwich came in a generous portion, but again, tasted very bland/average. The orange bottle of sauce wasn't tart or spicy... again kind of bland. We also got a "jug" of the vodka, cucumber, lime cocktail which tasted ok but not much alcohol present. The waiter convinced us to get that since he said it would amount to 4 cups (for $25 a jug), but it was really 2.2 cups. We should have just gotten our own cocktails for $10 a pop and would have been able to try other concoctions.

Second visit, finally tried chicken at the Chicken shop. The fried chicken & waffle was delicious! Chicken & waffle were both crispy and the chicken was juicy and flavorful. I didn't really get to the spicy syrup until my last bite but liked how it tasted (hint: give me more!). We always get the lightly sauteed collard greens, which are unlike the typically discolored-due-to-prolonged cooking Southern collard greens (which I like as well, but these are a refreshing alternative). Bf's go-to is their fluffy biscuit and gravy. Drinks are always delicious, there's never a wait and service is always friendly. That's why we keep on returning and will continue to do so.

I really wanted to like this place but our waitress was especially impatient. She rushed through the food descriptions and, considering the menu lacks any effort of detail, you need to talk to someone before ordering. When we asked her to repeat it (she rushed through AND it was loud), she caught an attitude and rushed through it again. It is a family-style restaurants so sides and chicken are meant to be shared. There were 3 couples in our party. We got a whole order of rotisserie chicken and the guys each ordered a sandwich. My fiancé ordered the chicken sandwich and it was one of the best I've ever had. Maybe if I ordered this instead, I would have given this place more stars. I thought the rotisserie chicken was flavorless, but others seemed to enjoy it. Note: you can order whatever you like from the bar so don't be put off by the seemingly limited bar menu.

A neat step into the prairie lifestyle! It's the dinner rush hour and you want to dine in at a not-so-bustling eatery. There is none other but the newly opened Chicken Shop that's discreetly situated in the upper floor of the SoHo House. This is the first U.S. outpost of the London-based original with the main focus being chicken roasted on a spit. The chicken are available in whole, half, and quarter sizes with very reasonable prices. My friend and I shared the half chicken along with a side dish of butter lettuce and avocado salad. Both were served in very old-school steel plates. It was a very balanced meal but was not quite enough for two. The chicken was very flavorful with extra crispy skin. The downside was the dryness so I was not stingy about drenching them in the smokey and spicy sauces. The salad had about half an avocado in there. The lettuce was very fresh and dressing was unnecessary. I will most likely return and when that time comes, I will order two sides as opposed to one. I would also skip the warm chocolate brownie. It was too sweet for my preferences and I had hope the scoop of ice cream would be slightly bigger. P.S. I really like how they make the chicken in the diner behind the counter. It is visible to the patrons yet it does not have a strong smell. Ladies, you do not have to worry about leaving the restaurant with a clinging roasty and smokey smell.

I've been spending quite a bit of time at Soho House recently. It's become my go-to co-working space, and I really enjoy the time spent there. The service is great, the food is solid and the atmosphere is perfect. I never thought I'd be a private club kind of guy, but I definitely am. Sure the menu changes from time to time, but spending five days a week at Soho things get old. You can only have pizza or kale salad so many times before you bore your tastebuds. Don't get me wrong, the food is really good. It's a high quality affair in general. One of the items my fellow co-workers and myself really enjoy is the Soho House burger. It's served topped with crisped up pancetta, some super thin cheddar and a tangy dijonnaise. We get it all the time, and never have a complaint. It's the kind of thing you could easily eat several times a week, which we often end up doing. So why am I writing about the Soho House burger on the Chicken Shop's yelp page? Because of their gosh darn tasty "Dirty Burger." Yesterday we were told by a Soho staffer that they added the Dirty Burger to the "secret" menu. We were all so excited to try something new, and were also curious how it would compare to the house burger. So... we all ordered one. It's a terrific burger. Served up wrapped in branded wax paper, similar to a classic American chain restaurant. It provides the ideal ratio of textures and ingredients with very standard but high quality toppings. Pickles, tomatoes, mustard, mayo, cheddar and thinly chopped iceberg sits on top of a crispy thin patty of seasoned sirloin mixed with bone marrow cradled in a quality brioche. Was it better than the Soho House burger? It's hard to compare, as they are both delicious. But damn, it was super tasty.

Recently I've been hearing a lot about Soho hotel. Although the hotel is members only the public is allowed to enjoy the restaurants at the Chicago location. We decided to check this place out for brunch. The inside is cute! Set up like an old fashion diner. Plenty of seating and it was completely empty when we got there. I'm sure it's because no one knows about it and it's a little hidden. I'm not a coffee drinker, but my friends are and they kept talking about how much they loved it. It's called Blue Bottle Coffee and it comes from Europe. What I can't stop raving about is my entree. I got the chicken and waffles and hands down the best I ever had!!! The waffles were thick, sweet, and soft (not crispy). The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Excellent flavor. Our other friend had the rotisserie chicken and collard greens and thoroughly enjoyed it. Can't wait to go back! I would say to try other items but I know I'll be getting the chicken and waffles again.
