This place never disappoints and I believe is the top restaurant per square foot in Macomb which isnt hard to believe with the quality of food and service not to mention those amazing martinis.

We are not from the area, but we had asked someone where to eat and Chicks was recommended. It did not disappoint. Stopped in for a late lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. Seated quickly of our choice at the corner of the bar. Friendly, attentive bartender (Chris). Food was amazing. Had the chicken lips wrap, mild sauce. It was perfect. Very juicy chicken and the wrap was fresh. (You get two large wraps, only one pictured because I inhaled the other one). Not too doughy not too tough. Portion was generous. My mother had the roasted garden salad. Again it was a generous portion and very, very good. All the ingredients tasted very fresh. Portabella mushrooms were SO good! Didn’t consume alcohol just an iced tea and we were out 21.00 not including tip. I thought this was a VERY fair price for the quality of the food, atmosphere, and service. The menu is very large and we will definitely be back to try other things.

Stopped in Macomb and gave Chick's on the Square a try. Our meals were amazing and the portions were solid! I picked up our food and the staff were all very polite and courteous. Definitely will come back the next time we visit Macomb!

I had the big Hawaiian chicken sandwich and it was quite possibly the best chicken sandwich that I have ever had. It was spectabulous. Throw in great service by our server and the overall atmosphere, you get a 5 star experience. Since I have the perfect face for radio, I would be glad to give a radio endorsement if given the opportunity.

WIU alumni who haven't been in Macomb in 40 years we stumbled on this restaurant, and we were very impressed. Place was hopping, so we sat at the bar. We both ordered their chicken tortilla soup. The soup was delicious with just a little kick. It was so good I made a pot of chicken tortilla soup at home on Sunday for the first time - mine wasn't nearly as good as Chick's. i ordered the Monterey Chicken sandwich with bacon that was very good. My friend had the roasted chicken wrap that he said was great. I was a little disappointed that neither sandwich included fries or chips. Our several was ok, nothing special. I would to eat there again.
