Best WLM Reviews
Food: I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich with medium heat since it was noted to "feel the burn". So, I will start by saying I did commute with this sandwich home. It smelled delicious the whole way home, so I was eager to try it. I will say I wish I had tried it fresh out of the kitchen to give a complete justified review. With that said, the chicken sandwich wasn't as crispy or as crunchy in terms of coating as I had dreamed of. But I blame that partially on me for waiting to eat it until I got home. If anything, the texture of the coating on the chicken was slightly soggy. The slab of chicken used for the sandwich was a nice big portion which was moist even after the commute. The heat on this "mild/medium" was extremely underwhelming. The jalapeno and slaw gave this sandwich a slight boost in terms of a flavor enhancement but not enough to steal the show. With all that said, I would not personally venture out to try this sandwich again.
Service: Order at the counter upon walking in. You can order at a small tablet on the counter or through the cashier. She handed me a menu. I ordered. She disappeared into the back. Popped out to tell me I could sit while I waited. Went back. Popped back out with my food in a to-go bag when it was ready.
Atmosphere: To begin with, this vibrantly illustrated restaurant front is out on a dingey street corner, cracked sidewalk, right before a viaduct. It's not the most welcoming and appealing spot to be in. On the inside, it's not wildly better. When this place first opened, I can see from past photos that the floors were creatively drawn and written on. Now, however, the floor looks like it has drops of painting everywhere haphazardly. The floor has seen better days I'm sure. Seating is very basic and limited. There were a few customers inside. The place just seemed a little in the run-down side. I didn't have enough time to dine-in but wouldn't have wanted to if I could.
I only came here once and it was awhile ago. I got the big boss sandwich with regular spicy level. I loved it. A good amount of spice, meat was juicy, and the sandwich was huge. Price wasn’t too bad. It was easy to find free street parking located by that park. I took it to go since the place wasn’t big. I’ll have to try this again the next time I’m in the area.
From the moment I walked into Big Boss Spicy Fried Chicken, I knew I was in for a treat. The smell of crispy fried chicken wafted through the air, and the staff greeted me with friendly smiles. The menu offered a variety of options, but I decided to go for the Spicy Fried Chicken sandwich and waffle fries.
Let me tell you, that sandwich did not disappoint. The chicken was perfectly cooked - juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside - and the spice level was just right. The bun was soft and fresh, and the toppings (choice of spice level, onions, coleslaw, jalapenos, butter bun) added a nice balance to the heat. And those waffle fries? They were addictively delicious - crispy and seasoned to perfection.
The atmosphere of the restaurant was also great - clean, modern, and comfortable. The staff were attentive and made sure I had everything I needed.
Overall, I would highly recommend Big Boss Spicy Fried Chicken to anyone in the Chicago area. If you're a fan of spicy fried chicken, this place is a must-visit. The quality of the food and the friendly service make it a top-notch dining experience. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu!
I read all these amazing reviews and decided to check this out. Thinking it would be good, I convinced my boyfriend to venture there on a rainy day. Maybe I was over hyped about it, but the experience felt off. We both ordered medium big boss chicken sandwiches and the sweet potato fries. The sandwich was alright, the sauce was really good but beyond that I wasn’t into the patty. The sweet potato fries needed some seasoning or salt or something. My cup of water had some specs of dirt floating in the bottom. It was a bummer and I ended up apologizing to my boyfriend for taking him here. I really had high hopes.
Great spicy chicken in a local restaurant with helpful staff! The chicken has lots of Asian sauce options, and don't worry about the spice scale, it runs a bit mild. The chicken itself has crunchy breading and is moist. They offer milk tea, but it's 90% creamer and the pearls don't have any flavor, so I'd skip it.
Over all good experience.. Their known for the spicy chivken sandwich. There is levels to the hotness ???? The teas are good passion fruit mango is a hit. My favorite is the spicy chicken salad never a miss. Shrimp dumplings fried or steamed are very good. Calamari was perfect. Chesse dogs i recommend. Get the strawberry milk tea with black pearls there's so good!!!
The kids meals are perfect. My children ate all their food. Theres not an item i dont like yet!!The girl at the register knows my order by heart i love her! I think because i go so much she gave me a cute crab keychain
We choose this spot bc of the good reviews, so we decided to try a variety of their entire menu. Their chicken sandwiches are the best thing on their menu! It felt like we were back at Nashville, 10/10 would recommend. Cheese dogs are cinnamon/sugar corn dogs filled with cheese, weird combination; it was difficult to enjoy. Dumplings were preheated, and not made for order. Mac and cheese was seasoned, personally did not enjoy either; my partner loved it! Lastly, we had a curry chicken combination that was cold when it arrived to the table. The staff was nice and took it back to heat it up. It was accompanied with white rice, fried sweet potato chips and a veggie salad. Overall, I would come back for the chicken and chicken sandwiches only.
Loved the graffiti vibe outside and inside, it's actually what drew us in. The food was okay, nothing really special about it but also nothing overly bad either. The mac & cheese was way too soft, as in turning to mush type of soft. The popcorn chicken and the sandwich were crispy but the kids tender meal we got was pretty soggy. Probably wouldn't seek this place out but I wouldn't be opposed to going back if someone suggested it.
