Chicken Ati-Atihan Filipino Grill & Restaurant

“This was our first time to Ati-Atihan I drove past it almost daily and took in the great smelling...”

This was our first time to Ati-Atihan I drove past it almost daily and took in the great smelling BBQ aroma across Milwaukee Ave., we finally decided to stop by and have a meal there. It was one of the greatest meals we've ever had. This was also the first time eating Filipino food. The flavors were unbelievable, I had the bbq skewered chicken and pork meal and my wife had the Pocherong Bisaya soup. The atmosphere was great and cozy, the wait staff was friendly and attentive. I just can't say enough good things about this place. I already picked out my next menu item for my next visit. If your curious about this place, just go and enjoy it. You won't be disappointed.

“I'm usually critical but i love this place.”

I'm usually critical but i love this place! The interior is very modern but still distinctly Filipino. Very clean including serving areas. The sections of the layout are well thought of. The servers are efficient and well trained. Good job to the management! 👏

“Chicken inasal with pork bbq stick combo hits the right spot.”

Chicken inasal with pork bbq stick combo hits the right spot! The Bam-i and lechon kawali was yummy! Highly recommended! The staff are nice and the new location can accommodate bigger group. A suggestion, if your ordering grilled food for dine- in , call your order in advance and make it less waiting time for the food to be served.

“Per 2024 Golf Rd, and 2025 Milwaukee Ave, visits...: Food: very good.”

Per 2024 Golf Rd, and 2025 Milwaukee Ave, visits...: Food: very good. Of the Filipino restaurants eaten in the past year(!), this had the best garlic fried rice. It’s not the best _ever,_ but certainly better than that offered by other, larger, un-named competitors. Fish was good, beef as well; the egg rolls at our 2024 visit were too salty but not those ordered in 2025, and at all visits they always presented a decent mix of crispy and soft textures. The chicken breast in our Ati-Atihan Combo was excellent. Its sauce was not overpowering so its grilled prep could be tasted alongside the marinade. That's art in motion...or perfected barbecue? The thigh-lover in our group devoured his barbecued thigh Ati as well, so it was presumably just as perfect. Topping everything off, prices were thankfully decent. Service: our server was open and honest about the possible wait for our order. Up to 45 minutes but ours was luckily ready in about 20 due to our very arrival (the restaurant had just opened for the day and diners started piling in later). At our 2024 visit our server remembered our discussion at seating about the leche flan, and asked if we were interested in it after the main course. But of course! Alas, that dessert was not available at our Milwaukee Ave visits. Maybe another day? Atmosphere: this has always been a very family oriented Filipino restaurant which has moved to various locations in Niles, Illinois. So far, this newest one has been the best. There's a great decor and enjoyable background radio. My co-diner laughed at the Christmas music that played throughout our late September 2024 visit; it was present again in (just? it was so cheerful!) one April 2025 visit, along with a fine music mix for families. This newest Milwaukee Ave location also had a stage for a band. When does it play? Saturday nights? Quick, move the tables out of the way for dancing.

If you're looking for delicious Filipino food in Chicagoland, head to Chicken atiatihan. Meat is tenderly cooked, and their sisig is authentic. Don't miss out on their kinilaw. Beef Sinigang was awesome as well! Come over and see why it's one of the best and my favorite Filipino restaurants in the area.

“Great food and service.”

Great food and service. Good pinoy food fix, and reasonably priced. Enjoyed the batsoy, and chicken inasal. 3/10/24 Enjoyed the Sizzling Tofu. Crispy tofu and the sauce was tasty. The pochero had a deep ginger flavor.

“The combo ati-atihan is phenomenal.”

The combo ati-atihan is phenomenal! And it comes with 2 servings of rice. We also ordered pork sisig, lechon kawali, and Bam-i pansit. The lechon kawali is crispy outside and tender inside. We would be back for sure!
