For me, this place is a gem in the area. Not only do they serve some pretty awesome chicken, but the also offer fresh fruit and vegetable juices. If you are familiar with the area, then you know how hard it can be to find decent healthy food. Being on a juice fast, I was successfully able to quench my dietary needs within the confines of this one great restaurant. And yes, I have also eaten the food here as well. Their chicken is always fresh and tender and their sides are well prepared and since the turnover is so high, you know they are no more than an hour old.
I probably would not make a special 45-minute trip from home to come here. But for employees of Elmhurst Hospital, this place is pretty freakin awesome. The neighborhood is predominantly hispanic and it's rare to see anything but authentic spanish street food. Chicken Fest caters to a more American palate and has the creamy mac&cheese to back this up. I've only been here twice but I'm definitely going back before my rotation ends at the hospital. I ordered a fajita the first time I went, stereotyping the neighborhood's specialty cuisine. But I later realized the cafe-style restaurant specializes in everything. People come for the fried chicken, the roasted chicken, the fresh juices, the rice, the mashed potatoes, and even for the people who work there.
I later tried their chicken with spinach and mac&cheese on the side. It was a very Boston Market thing to do. But I very, very much enjoyed how rich and homemade it tasted.
Oh what the hell, I may actually make the 45-minute trip one spontaneous day just to try other things on their menu.
Ooh, big portions too.
I love their beef stew I tried twice in the past very tasting and the meat well cook. They have a buffet menu but there is always someone to give you the food this keep clean and hygiene their food. They have food for all taste from American Mac and cheese, Hispanic beef stew to Chinese rice
