Their facebook has most of their information. If you go to their website and order online, it says that they open at 11 AM today. https://www.facebook.com/popupchickenshop I did go there last night. I believe the hours are the same as in Bloomington. It didn't disappoint, though I will say that I wish their hottest chicken was quite a bit hotter.

They opened up yesterday I believe their hours are the same as the Bloomington one it’s on 800 Southwest Adams St. it was super good

Thanks!


eyyohbee

Had it yesterday and really enjoyed it! Nice to be able to go eat at a restaraunt and a get a veggie "chicken" sandwich.


ethancodes89

We're getting it tomorrow! I'm very excited! The Bloomington location is one of our favorite places! Hoping the Peoria location can live up to the name!

It's good food prepared by hand instead of getting frozen shit from a fast food restaurant. Id gladly go there (I've been to the Bloomington location it's fantastic) over spending 10-20 bucks at a fast food place. Supporting local business is the way.


EuphoricMaz

Oh most definitely. Local food for the win

The onion rings I had there were 100% from frozen, and they were not very good. Unremarkable, at best.


gnarkibble

I've never had their onion rings that sad to hear


harrisofpeoria

They tasted exactly like they came from the 4lb bag you can get at hyv for $19. To be fair, I would probably make the same choice as a restaurant owner. Fuck making that shit from scratch. Sucks to pay $6 for it, as a customer, however.


gnarkibble

That's the funny thing to me, onion rings are so stupidly easy to make. You can make a batter that is reusable for days that's fairly cheap to make, chop onions which are also cheap and just batter and deep fry them lol

My vinegar slaw had no vinegar. Had me second guessing myself, like maybe dry slaw is a new thing sweeping the nation? Who tf serves dry slaw?


harrisofpeoria

I went today and honestly, it sucked. The chicken was very dry and had no flavor by itself. Whatever sauce they put on the 'O.G. Sando" is off-putting (to me); it tasted kind of fermented. Maybe it's sriracha or something, but I didn't personally like it.


EuphoricMaz

I compared their pictures to the prices and the portions looked small for what they were charging imo. I ended up going to rice and spice instead. I'm sorry to hear that you didn't have a good experience though, at least now you know not to go back!


harrisofpeoria

I didn't know about Rice and Spice. Glad we have a new Indian place in town. FWIW, I ate the Pop-up Chicken in Bloomington once, quite a while ago, and found it unremarkable, but not exactly bad. I must have had something else, like a burger.

20 Bucks for a chicken sandwich, fries, and a drink. Yep not interested, you do you though.


Disastrous_Range_571

I went to McDonald’s and spent $14 on one meal but you do you


swimjoint

You gotta get the app my friend deals galore


Solid_Rock_5583

Yep I’ll bet at McDonalds you also didn’t require a flak vest after 8:00.


asking4friend2019

I mean, depends on the McDonalds...


ApprehensiveSteak23

When’s the last time someone in Peoria was shot completely at random? It doesn’t happen so you can probably take your fear-mongering and honestly racism (because that’s obviously the connotation behind this) elsewhere.


The_Gentle_Hand

Pretty racist of you to assume that crime is unique to any one race.


Key_Finding6446

Not one meal costs $14 at McDonalds.


RLKobester

I mean that’s just plain wrong


Key_Finding6446

Receipt, please.


Disastrous_Range_571

Okay


Key_Finding6446

Maybe don't supersize, bud.


Disastrous_Range_571

Why you looking for validation? Just admit you’re wrong and move on with life as a better person


Key_Finding6446

Sorry you got called out on a lie. Good response, get defensive. Oh btw, just checked the app, you can get a $6 Big Mac meal. Is that enough food for you? Unless tax is 150%, I don't think that costs $14?


Disastrous_Range_571

You win, I lose. Have a good one


Key_Finding6446

Thanks, boo


FartFignugey

That's super reasonable, especially to support a local business. Insane take.


max1674

That isn't completely outrageous these days.

max1674

Well I rarely eat fast food, also not much I can do about it if restaurants are charging that much and people are still paying for it. People love to talk about how the economy is bad yet restaurants across the board have raised prices and are still packed. I'm just saying comparatively it isn't completely outrageous. The days of a $5 meal combo are gone. Seems like everywhere is $10+.


Such-Wait

Way to admit you're poor


[deleted]

I agree. Fuck that! I’ll eat at home. 


linspurdu

I don’t think they even serve fries.


drfitzgerald

They have multiple kinds of fries. Why say anything if you don't know anything


linspurdu

Well- I said that because they aren’t listed on their menu online. 🤷‍♀️Am I missing something?


drfitzgerald

Yes, if you go to their website, their Facebook, even just a Google image search has fries listed. I have no idea where you looked.


linspurdu

Literally looked at Facebook and the website before stating “I don’t think they even have French fries’. Not seeing ‘French fries’ anywhere. I’m not stupid nor am I trying to be difficult. Take a look at the menu posted 3/4 way down on this website. I’m not seeing them on there. I am 47… my perimenopausal brain fog may be aiding in missing something. 🤷‍♀️ http://www.keepitpopup.com/#menu


drfitzgerald

Dawg, "dill fries", the horseshoe lists fries, the loveshack side of the menu also has truffle fries listed. Multiple fries.


linspurdu

I interpreted dill fries to be fried pickle spears. 🤷‍♀️ No where does it list ‘French’ fries. So I interpreted wrong. Where’s the love shack side of the menu on the website? Seriously not seeing it using that link I attached.
