Club 81 Too

Super GemHegewisch · Fried Chicken / Fish Fry (American) Community-sourced, unverified
📍 13157 S Ave M, Chicago, IL 60633

Club 81 Too runs out of a brother-and-sister-owned storefront on South Ave M in Hegewisch, Chicago's Southeast Side Polish stronghold, and it only serves dinner two days a week — Wednesday and Friday — which is exactly when the neighborhood shows up for it.

$
A Wednesday/Friday-only fried chicken and walleye pike dinner plate — beets, cottage cheese, fries, slaw, and onion included — for around $10, plus a Hot Wheels car for any kid who finishes their plate.

The draw is a genuine fried chicken and walleye pike plate: thin-crusted, greaseless chicken alongside hefty portions of crispy fish, both served with pickled beets, cottage cheese, fries, slaw, and raw onion, all for somewhere around ten dollars. It's the kind of fixed, old-school combination plate most of the city stopped serving decades ago, still intact here because the regulars never asked for it to change.

The lunch counter runs weekdays 11am-2pm the rest of the week, but the real reason to time a visit around Wednesday or Friday evening is the dinner window itself — and the detail that actually sells the place: the owners hand out Hot Wheels cars to kids who finish their plate, a small, real touch that's kept three generations of families coming back instead of just one.
