Gourmet Fried Chicken

If you happen to be at McCormick Center or the adjacent Marriott or Hyatt, this is a great option. The seating area is small, but they do take out as well. There is a wide variety of options, in both lunch and dinner sizes. I was there for dinner and can say the portions are huge, and the prices are reasonable. I ordered the salad with chicken on top. The salad was fresh and the chicken was tender. Definitely recommend!

Delicious oven roasted chicken! Flavorful (mild blend of salt, herbs, and spices), tender, and juicy. The drums and thigh pieces are on the smaller side but combine with the side option, it makes for a compelling option. I ordered 4 dark pieces with rice pilaf and it was only $6.99 before tax. It even came with a piece of soft naan bread. I also tried their cheesecake, corn bread, and loaded chicken potatoes. Cheesecake was mostly sweet which is far better than the overly sweet ones you find at most restaurants. Corn bread was soft and fluffy, so good. Came here with friends who ordered curry chicken bowl and fries chicken with rice and beans. Will be recommending to other friends and coming back for more.

The food at CLK was good. It's a South Loop staple that has underwent some changes over the years and looks modern and updated. The food was good, but only slightly reminiscent of the fresh flavorful healthy meals of the 90's that i remembered. The menu is varied and includes pasta as well as fried chicken and Cajun inspired dishes over rice. Parking is at an extreme premium in that area so keep that in mind.

Food is really good, prices are reasonable, and portions are more than adequate (except for the naan that comes with the meal, which is quite small.) Whenever I travel to Chicago with family, we get lunch from Luciano’s and the food is consistently good and the order accurate. One suggestion: the dessert list could have a better selection.

I visited this establishment many years ago when when it was Gourmet Chicken, loved it. Fast forward ...ordered carry out, was very satisfied. A few months later, had a small catered order. The potatoes were bland, the salad was not fresh, the romain lettuce was brown. Not enough tomatoes based on the amount of romaine. Only one container of salad dressing, not enough in comparison to the amount of lettuce. And it was probably another issue, but I can't recall right now. As a result, it was clear that I was not going to receive a call as a follow up. So I sent 2 emails stating the issues....NO ONE RESPONDED.....and this was catered back in May 2018, just posted this review sat 7/21/2018

I love this place, I have been going here since the early 90s, right after I discharged honorably from the Military!!! I just pray that they will never shut down, like what had happened to Ronnie's Steak House, unfortunately back in late September!!! They, are both a major staple too the Chicago area, and for our communities!!! Please, support Chef Luciano Kitchen!!! You will not regret it!!!
