Uncle Remus SFC - 47th Street

Uncle Remus Saucy Fried Chicken, a Black-owned, women-led business, has been a Chicago West Side staple since 1963. Founded by Gus W. Rickette, Sr. and Mary F. Rickette, it began as G & G Chicken Shack before becoming Uncle Remus in 1969. Known for its unique saucy fried chicken, the restaurant embodies tradition, flavor, and community. Now led by their daughter, Charmaine Rickette Alfred, Uncle Remus continues to offer affordable family meals, catering, and a food truck, while honoring its rich history and the Rickette family's legacy.
