“I had the half chicken meal with potato salad and it was solid. The chicken was grilled just right and packed plenty of flavor. The potato salad was fresh and not too heavy. The spot is small but the service is fast and friendly. It is a great choice when I want something quick, affordable, and tasty.”
“Absolutely delicous food! Place worth to visit anytime. Portions are big, stuff is very helpful and kind and place is good to seat and chill👌👌👌”
“I was excited to try this place after seeing recommendations on Reddit for a lunch spot visited by mostly locals. However I was a bit disappointed. I paid like $14 for a quarter chicken meal and a Diet Coke can and the portions were very small and left me hungry. I probably should have ordered a half chicken meal for a few dollars more but I still expected more from the prices I paid. Sorry for the crappy quality photo. Food was good but nothing worth writing home about”
“I've been going there for lunch 20 plus years. Great taste and a healthy alternative to fast food joints.”
“Great chicken spot! The chicken was tender and juicy and the mashed potatoes were delightful. Very friendly service!”
“11 years later and I am still going here for lunch. I have described this place as going to an uncles barbecue and that has not changed. delicious food is made here The staff are quick, prompt and friendly. This place is clean and repectable. It is self seating.”
“Great value for the quarter chicken meal. Real chicken that is grilled! Probably one of the best value lunch deals in the Loop.”
“Chicken planet is arguably the best lunch spot in the loop. The chicken is flavorful and the salsa is fresh! I would recommend to anyone looking for a healthier alternative to 90 percent of loop options.”
“Rock solid food, truly amazing service, great prices. I have been coming regularly for a year and I like this place for takeout. It not gourmet, but everything is good (except the soup - the soup is not good but rather EXCELLENT). Give it a try!”
“REAL LIFE CHICKEN Been coming here for lunch in the loop almost exclusively for the past 2 years. Would/have recommended it to anyone I can. Is it the best lunch I’ve ever had? NO. Is it consistently fast, fresh, budget-friendly, and satisfying? YES. I always order the chicken roll and if they offer you homemade BBQ sauce say yes! All employees are welcoming/proficient at their role. Be sure to ask Cashier Abeed for a punch card, to stack points on your return next week. Just don’t come here if you’re scared of real life.”
“I stopped by Chicken Planet for lunch this was my second day in a row, and it never disappoints! I had the grilled half chicken, and it was amazing fresh, juicy, and full of flavor. If you guys like grilled chicken, this is definitely the place to go! Their pita bread is also really good and goes perfectly with the meal. The staff are super friendly and respectful, and the customer service is always great. Highly recommend checking this place out!”
