Chick-N-Dip

Bottom line is that the food here is pretty good. I wasn’t impressed by the service, as it is a few high school kids with summer jobs that don’t really understand how customer service works. It’s got a quaint environment and the old timey ‘drive-​in’ stuff outside is cool. They boast the Cole slaw as being famous, and it is pretty good. I believe it’s made with vinegar as opposed to mayonnaise and it’s finely cut. Remember to bring cash because they don’t accept credit or debit. With most currency being digital these days, it puts it’s customers at a huge disadvantage; especially non locals who are just passing by. Because of the below average service and not accepting cards, I would leave 3 stars, but they compensate with their food so I think a 4 is fair.

The chicken was so moist and delicious I was sad to see it disappear off my plate! Was just stopping by after a day at an apple orchard and it was well worth the cash. The people who worked there were very nice and they got the food done pretty fast. But the best part was how fresh it was. Having to wait until it cooled took a LOT of will power though.
My wife and I ate at the cute little picnic tables because it was so nice out that day. It was just a nice experience!
It is cash only, which shocked us! So, don’t forget to put some cash in your wallet before going!

Chick-​n-​Dip was one of the first places we heard about when we moved to the area. Everyone told us we HAD to go there. The restaurant itself is nothing spectacular and we got our order to go. But the food was spectactular. My husband and I both got a chicken dinner and loved them. The breading on the chicken was so good. It was the perfect thickness and still felt light and crunchy. The coleslaw was also dynamite. The fries I felt were just okay but I would definitely order this meal again. Plus the prices are not bad at all!

the best chocolate dipped ice cream cone ever! i will definitely return! good price too!!!

Chicken was juicy and moist… skin was crisp… fries were hot… slaw was vinegar based… best chicken around!

This place is so yummy! I had the 4 piece chicken dinner with fries and slaw and it was perfect! The wait is average for freshly cooked food but it is so worth it! The food came out hot and ready to eat! All of the pieces of chicken were the perfect size and the fries were delicious! I will definitely be taking the trip back here from Schaumburg! You guys rock!

Chick-​N-​Dip screams summertime in a small midwestern town. It’s cash only and seating inside is limited so sit outside when you can. Grab a spot at one of the red wooden picnic tables under the awning. Why they even matched the top of the garbage cans to the same red color of the tables. How feng shui of them!
Their chicken is great and cheap. It’s broasted, not fried. Their coleslaw is made in house as are the rolls that come with the chicken. This place is carb heaven and I’m quite OK with that.
My hubs went here with his Mom back in the early 70’s and says the place hasn’t changed much if at all. I love the vintage sign, the vintage prices and the fact I can get a chicken wing dinner with a fountain soda and a milkshake for less than 10 bucks. And, if you hit it at the right time you can see vintage cars or tractors in the parking lot.
I think Joanie and Chachi fell in love here…

The Chick-​n-​Dip has been around since 1957 and still offers a bit of that old school drive in diner charm. The broasted chicken is crispy, not greasy, flavorful and juicy. The coleslaw is really tasty as it’s not
Mayonnaise based, it’s crisp and slightly sweet and tangy.
This trip I had a deluxe hotdog combo which comes with small fries and coleslaw. I asked for the dog to be dragged through everything and add tomato. It was delicious. The fries were hot and tasty, but don’t come salted which is fine by me as I use ketchup, but they do give you a salt packet if you feel you need it.
I’ve never had a bad meal at the dip, and don’t get me started on the ice cream treats, all are so yummy and reasonably priced.
If you drive through Hampshire stop in for a meal and a shake, you won’t be sorry.

Generally, I support old establishments like the Chick-​N-​Dip in downtown Hampshire. This place deserves the high rating. We go there for one thing. That’s breasted chicken. Love the stuff. It’s become a family favorite. I like the 6-​wing dinner with show string fries and cole slaw. Sure, they have other items that you’d find at any small town drive-​in. And, I’m sure it’s all tasty. But, we always go for the «Chick-​N». Can’t beat it.

some people say that travelling for food is a mistake, but since many of my friends live far away I gotta travel. drive 300 miles for chicken? sure, because that’s where the chicken and my friends are.
Tender, moist, hot broasted chicken comes with a soft roll and super skinny fries (fries may or may not be the same vintage as the bird. am sure there’s a reason for this, not so certain it’s a good one.) hot sauce is available on request.
Slaw should be creamy & shredded but this stuff is chopped & vinegar-​based and delicious, I hate when that happens…
Dip is what they do with soft serve: white on the inside, brown on the outside.
I travel to see my friends, we go out to eat so we can yap while someone else does the food. Chick-​n-​Dip works well for that.

I’ve been going to Chick N Dip for 25 years. It’s seasonal opening deserves to be a statewide holiday. The menu has had a few changes over the years but the one constant has been it’s phenomenal broasted chicken. It is far and away the best chicken in the suburbs! The shakes and ice cream are delicious as well! The staff is always friendly! If you find yourself traveling near Hampshire between spring and fall a stop at this restaurant is a MUST! The only improvement I’d like to see is either get an ATM onsite or accept debit/​credit cards.

It’s strange that I’ve been living in Hampshire for 7 years and I’ve been to this place once. The one time I went was with my relatives. They said it was good, so, I figured I’d give a try. We ordered their signature fried chicken. It was good!!! Haven’t been back since because I hardly travel in that area of Hampshire. But, I’d recommend it.

Place is starting to let me down. Food is what it is supposed to be but the wait time for chicken at lunchtime was far too long. Been there many times. Charming drive up cash-​only old school place with outdoor seating at picnic tables.
It’s a bit overpriced for what it is. Fries can be good or terrible. Chicken is good but not great. I’m not a fan of any coleslaw but my group likes theirs.

The last time we visited, we thought the broasted chicken batter was different. It used to be awesome. Just tasted like breading, no spices or flavor in the batter. Not even salt. We ordered. And waited. And waited. We ordered at the window, but it took 35 minutes for 2 hot dogs & 2 pieces of chicken. There were only 2 other couples there, so not busy enough to warrant the wait for the cold hot dogs and bland chicken. Disappointed in our last experience. Service & food quality has gone downhill.

All I heard about after moving here was that I needed to try the broasted chicken, so of course we order a couple chicken dinners with slaw and fries. Had to wait close to 15 minutes with one other couple for mediocre food at best. The shake was delicious, but it’s not a difficult thing to whip up. The seasoned locals love it and we’re glad we tried it to say we did, but we will not be hitting the Chick-​N-​Dip again.

Best broasted Chen I have ever had. Started going here when I was dating my fiancé and we still go here to this day with the children. I highly recommend going here if for anything the broasted chicken. The desserts are great as well, my fiancé gets the shakes they have here.

My wife is from out yonder and we finally made a point of grabbing some chicken while visiting the in-​laws. We just so happened to come on the first day that they reopened. The food took forever to get, even know there was virtually no line. Overall the broasted chicken was very good. It could use hot sauce to give it some extra kick, but I would come back without blinking an eye. The sides were forgettable, but you’re not coming there for the sides. If you so happen to be in Hampshire then I do recommend you give Chick-​N-​Dip a whirl. It won’t let you down and will not make a dent in your wallet.

We love Chick-​N-​Dip, and we’re always sad when they close for the season.
The broasted chicken is delicious, and the coleslaw is amazing (this coming from someone who does NOT like coleslaw normally).
Hands down, our favorites meals here are the broasted chicken dinners, or the chicken strip dinners.
We are anxiously awaiting opening once again… but we’re in the final stretch!

Are you in Hampshire? Is it summer? Then stop.
This place has been around forever and there’s a good reason for it. Their milkshakes are divine and the food is good as well. I prefer the hamburgers over the broasted chicken, but growing up in town our family always expected Chick-​N-​Dip chicken for dinner when they came to town. And now when we go home, the first question my wife asks: «When do we get our milkshake?»

It’s been around forever and is a staple in the Hampshire area. Old school 50’s drive-​in feel — not fancy, but clean.
The food is the amazing part — fantastic broasted chicken like nothing you will find at any fast food joint. Everything is cooked to order, hot & fresh; be prepare to be patient for about 15 minutes while they create deliciousness on a plate for you. Wash down your chicken with a dipped cone — heaven!
