Amazing chicken! I got the nashville chicken sandwhich and it was so fresh and full of flavor. Im not the biggest cole slaw fan but it was good on the sandwich. The heat levels are seriously hot and I am here for it, if you don't have a higher tolerance then the crazy heat is literally crazy, I have no idea how they get it so strong. The messy fries are also really good but I would get extra pickles next time.

At first I’d like to say I loved going to fry the coop we go almost every week but yesterday u had went the employee was ignorant over the drive thru mic then he got our order wrong so we corrected it multiple times because he tried to over charge us and it wasn’t making sense how a meal for one person was coming to $37. Long story short we got the box of food and didn’t realize until we got home that the employees wrote “cheap” on my food box… if I would’ve seen it then I would’ve threw it in there face and told them there mothers cheap and that’s why they work where they work… disrespectful kids… sorry but that’s the last time you’ll see me there… unfortunately for you guys you lost a loyal customer unless the employee gets fired or pull the tapes and fire who ever wrote it

What can I say about this place that already hasn’t been said! Been coming here since the first day they opened and am not about to stop. Their Nashville and chicken and cheese sandwiches are the greatest. You can’t go wrong with the messy fries as well. My heat recommendation is medium, hot enough to give the mouth a tingle, but not so hot you can’t enjoy the flavor behind it!

I must say the food is delicious. Absolutely phenomenal! Unfortunately today I was very disappointed in the staff. I was in the drive through with a car full of kids. The car in front of me handed the young man working a bong and we all watched him smoke weed. Let me know how I should explain drug use in the work environment to my impressionable teenager.
FINALLY... a restaurant that DOES NOT fry in any kind of vegetable oil!! Nope, they fry in 100% beef tallow... as everyone should!
I try very hard to not consume any type of vegetable or seed oil as these are the worse a human can put in their body. This makes dinning out extremely difficult, as this is what the industry opts for... mostly to increase the bottom line. But not Fry the Coop, no!! Verified 100% rendered beef fat only, in their fryers. And the way traditional fried chicken should be done. The French fries are done like traditional Belgium frites... fresh cut, soaked, dried and double fried in TALLOW. SO crispy! Even most of the high-end restaurants touting Belgium frites in tallow, cheat and fry once in vegetable oil... rules those out for me!
The no vegetable/seed oil is what made me make the visit. I'll admit I was skeptical about the quality of chicken they would use, but was so pleasantly surprised when I found out it's all local farm sourced healthily raised chickens. And the outcome... plump, fresh tasting white meat chicken breast sandwiches and nuggets made from white chicken meat... NOT chicken meal! And neither the chicken, nor the fries were at all greasy. Oh and the bun... fresh made, toasted in butter!!!
I've tried to make my own fried chicken and frites in tallow at home, but can't come close to what Fry the Coop is doing.
If you're like me and avoiding the very bad oils, you'll have the skip the slaw and sauces, as they're mayo based. Man, it would be so great if they were to start making those from a no-vegetable oil mayo!
Only complaint was the front doors and foyer of this particular location were absolutely filthy, when I visited. That and the bathroom should be kept a bit more sanitary. Hopefully management will see this and fix that, as these can be big turnoffs, especially when choosing an establishment in which to dine. You guys NEED to succeed!
As they grow, hopefully Fry the Coop keeps up the no-vegetable oil policy and perhaps even applies that to their sauces, sides and condiments. I hope this will be the wave of our healthy future!
Oh and... bring this to NW Indiana please, so I can stop in more often!!
