A new Chick-fil-A restaurant will begin serving Guests in Hyde Park on Thursday, Dec. 11 at 6:30 a.m. Chick-fil-A, Inc. has selected Victor Golden to serve as the local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Hyde Park.
Located at 1512 E. 53rd St., Chick-fil-A Hyde Park will serve Guests Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., offering dine-in, carry-out and delivery. The Hyde Park restaurant brings approximately 65 jobs to the community and joins more than 50 other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the Chicago market.
To celebrate the opening, Guests are welcome to join the fun by dressing in cow print on opening day to receive a free entrée.
Locally Owned and Operated
“Chicago was the first place I ever called home, and I lived in Hyde Park during some of my core development years. Coming back to bring Chick-fil-A to an area where I still have a strong community means everything to me,” said Golden in a statement. “When I first experienced Chick-fil-A, I loved the food, but it was the service that truly left a mark – I look forward to bringing that welcoming environment to Hyde Park every day.”

Cows Eat Free to Celebrate Chick-fil-A Hyde Park
To celebrate the restaurant moo-ving into town, cows will eat free on opening day! Golden and his team are inviting the community to show off their cow spots on opening day for one free entrée.
- Since 1995, the Cows have been a beloved part of Chick-fil-A, encouraging humans to skip burgers and “Eat More Chikin” – and now it’s Hyde Park’s turn to join the herd.
- Guests dressed in cow print – whether it’s a full cow costume or a simple cow-spotted accessory – can enjoy one free entrée* in person inside the restaurant.
Caring for the Hyde Park Community
Golden is committed to giving back to the Hyde Park community by:

- Participating in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table program, an initiative that redirects surplus food from the restaurant to local nonprofits. When there is surplus food, Chick-fil-A Hyde Park will donate it to Pacific Garden Mission. This program has helped create over 42 million meals nationwide to date.
