Obviously, I am as I post the pictures and check in. They have bombers. Local brothers own the place. One is nicer than the other. YOU MUST MENTION SPECIALS or these dudes will walk right on by such. Service has improved. Deals are bountiful via Google offers and the receipt back. I'm from the born and bred state of Church's Chicken and Popeye's. Yes, folks they are both Al Copeland's children before he sold off a large portion of his interests. I'm a Church's fan before Popeye's anyday. This in the only location in a 100 mile radius for the WI/IL border area. Next one in the burb's of Chicago then southside Mlps.

I was surprised to see so many 1 stars for church's, I have been going to this location about 1-2 times per month for over 2 years and have had great service and it is always correct, sometimes one of the workers at the counter will throw in an extra piece of chicken which is very nice. I have never stayed inside to eat but it always looks clean and the chicken is much better quality then KFC and the cuts are meaty. My wife and I love this place and the people that work there are outstanding.

The food was mediocre at best. I ordered a chicken sandwich, fries, coleslaw and a drink. The sandwich tasted like out came from McDonald's, the coleslaw was FROZEN, the biscuit tasted like plastic, and the fries were undercooked...twice. The only good thing was the soda, but they don't make the soda. I only came here because I wanted chicken and Popeye's want open on time. In hindsight, being open with mediocre food doesn't cut it. $7 wasted and still hungry.

After enjoying a meal here about 5 years ago, I decided to stop in when I happened to be on that side of town. I wasn't hungry for a full meal and was just looking for a snack. After looking at the value menu, I ordered a chicken sandwich. I was told they were out of the sandwiches (it was about 3 o'clock on a Saturday, lunch rush was over quite a while ago). So I compromised with a 99¢ order of three boneless honey barbecue wings. I was corrected and told they come as an order of 5. I pointed to the value menu and told the gentleman taking my order that I wanted the 99¢ order of three wings. I was told that was Tuesday only which isn't mentioned anywhere. I chose not to argue and paid three dollars for my order of 5 wings. Once the chicken was ready, I watched the gentleman who took my order put the wings in a bucket that was already covered in sauce. When he handed me the package with my food, I made sure that they were honey barbecue. I was assured they were. When I got home to eat my wings, the first bite was incredibly spicy, much spicier than any honey barbecue sauce I've ever tasted. I have to assume that there was still some spicy buffalo sauce in the bucket my wings were sauced in. So rather than enjoying the honey barbecue wings I ordered, I had wings flavored with a medley of three different sauces that do not compliment each other. I thought about calling to complain, but if the person who took my order was any indication, my complaint would fall on deaf ears. It's a shame after having such a good experience several years ago, but this place seems to be going downhill.. I won't be back anytime soon.

All I wanted was some good fried chicken, some mashed potatoes, and a flakey buttery biscuit for a late lunch on a Monday. What I got was dry possibly overcooked chicken with no flavor to speak of, a smaller than I'm used to, dense and definitely overcooked biscuit, and a tiny portion of mashed taters that tasted strongly of chicken broth. The woman behind the counter was slow and reasonably unpleasant. She sat behind the counter as i ate, speaking loudly to her coworker in a foreign language. When I walked up to ask if there was any hot sauce or honey, she gave me a look of disdain as if I had just interrupted the most important conversation she had ever had. Maybe I did.

This place is on the opposite side of the street and about a half-block down from Popeye's Chicken so whenever we've wanted fried chicken, we always bypass it. But about a month ago, my niece's boyfriend said we should try Church's Chicken because it was better than Popeye's. I've been trying to find an excuse to stop there ever since. The first attempt I drove by later at night -- probably between 9 and 10 p.m. -- and someone at the door pointed me to the drive-thru. It was pouring rain. I wanted a chicken breast but the person on the other end of the intercom said they were all out of white meat. I said, "No thanks," and drove home. Today was an impulse buy. I had just picked up some items from Walmart and decided to try out Church's again. I parked and went in this time. There were two other people eating lunch. There was a dirty, wet towel on the floor in front of the counter but none of the owners/employees had noticed. Inviting decor? Not so much. Inviting smells? Yes (who doesn't like fried chicken?!?). I ordered two spicy chicken breasts to go. It only cost $4.21 and came with some kind of biscuit. (As a good price reference, when I buy chicken at Popeye's for my family, I usually just get four breasts and I think it costs something like $10-11, so Church's seems slightly less expensive.) I paid and left for home. When I opened up my box of two chicken breasts, hmm...it was maybe one chicken breast. The breast had been cut into half or even thirds, then breaded, and fried. I just find this incredibly inappropriate, disingenuous, and bad business (if not false advertisement altogether, it was clearly misleading to imply you're fulfilling my "two chicken breasts" order). I know it's just fast food but I feel ripped off. I'm extremely disappointed with what the owner's did. IF YOU'RE NOT SELLING WHOLE BREASTS, DON'T CHARGE FULL PRICE! The chicken is fine, no better than Popeye's, which will continue to be our go-to-chicken place whenever we want southern-style, spicy, fried chicken. Both places are dives but if you're not eating there, the chicken is good for nights when you can't cook dinner. I will not be returning to Church's Chicken.

Greasy fast food fried chicken. It's not a renaissance. But it's still a nice thing to enjoy once in a while. I like Church's, definitely better than KFC, but not quite as much as Popeye's. This location is decent when I'm here for drill weekends, but aside from that, I wouldn't go out of my way unless you're just stalking my places of visitation. Weirdo. Aside from the food, it seems relatively clean here, bathrooms are kinda eh, and the staff is typical of what you'd find working fast food on Capital Dr.
