Roost Chicken and Biscuits

DrinkWest Town · Southern/American Community-sourced, unverified
📍 494 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60654

Roost started in 2012 as Chicago's first fried chicken food truck — one employee, renting kitchen time from a bar on DePaul's campus — before it grew into this Milwaukee Avenue storefront, still built around the same Nashville hot chicken and scratch buttermilk biscuits made fresh daily. $2 beer and $4 cocktails run all day, every day here, which is the deal the second Lakeview location later matched, not the other way around — this West Town spot is the original brick-and-mortar.

$$

Peach cobbler for dessert, hand-cut chips on the side, and the food-truck roots still show in a menu that doesn't try to be anything more than what it does well.
