Chicken Guy has moved into Navy Pier in Chicago. Mixed emotions. Happy to have a touch of Disney in Chicago. Sad the Pier didn’t renew Babba Gumps lease to make room for Chef Art. Babba was always packed.

having finally tried chicken guy, i thought it was just ok. tenders were nice & crispy, but i guess i just expected more after all that i’ve read. wasn’t bad, but wont go out of the way for it.

This was my experience too. The chicken was fine but not anything special; I've had better elsewhere. There are much better QS options at Disney Springs.

I think people like it for the large sauce selection more than anything else.

It's not amazing, but I don't think there's anything that matches it for quality and price

Polite Pig and Pizza Ponte are both more expensive, but the quality is also much higher to where I'd call them both better values. I actually thought D-luxe Burger was better than Chicken Guy as well. Not that Chicken Guy is bad -- I'd just choose to go for any of those three before I went to Chicken Guy. Chicken Guy has to be a great option for kids, though, especially since it's pretty cheap.

Polite Pig is probably the best QS on Disney property, although it's priced accordingly.

I don't think of polite pig as quick service. It often takes forever and delivers to tables. It's also twice the price of chicken Guy. I've had the same issue with delux. Hideous wait times and 40 bucks for two burgers and some fries.

I guess I'd add Earl of sandwich to the list too. Under $10 and fairly quick

Still unhappy that the announced location at Mall of America never opened. Also unhappy when I heard they cut down the number of sauces available at this DS location. I may see if we can eat there later this year when we're in the area.

This will be a nice addition. The building face is in the path of undiluted sunlight for most of late morning-mid afternoon (peak lunch hours), and seating is so limited inside. Having some additional shade will be welcome for sure.

I'm pretty sure with the pandemic and a lack of interested franchisees (plus Earl Enterprises surely taking a loss from the failure of ghost kitchens and revenue problems at several of their other physical restaurant concepts), we're not going to see a huge expansion in this chain like was planned. They've had less sauces at the DS location then they used to for a while now, swear it's been since at least the pandemic.
