Chick N Max – a next generation fast casual restaurant and “Home of the Better Chicken Sandwich” – has officially opened the doors to its first Sioux Falls location.
Located at 2201 S. Lorraine Place, the new 2,500-square-foot restaurant, which includes a drive-thru and indoor seating for 64 guests, is open seven days a week from 10:30 a.m. until 9:00 p.m.
“We believe Chick N Max will speak to Sioux Falls diners in much the same way the brand first won us over – with its almond wood smoked chicken and wings, chef-crafted sandwiches, golden fried tenders, and homestyle sides,” says franchisee Brad Reinke, who owns and operates the new restaurant with his son, Max Reinke. “We’re excited to introduce Sioux Falls to the remarkable food and can’t wait for locals to take their first bite of a Chick N Max sandwich. We promise you it won’t be their last.”
Brad and Max signed a franchise agreement last year for the development of three Sioux Falls area restaurants. While leases have yet to be signed for their other two locations, they’re actively eyeing potential sites.
Founded in 2017 and franchising since 2021, Chick N Max offers a unique culinary experience with its 10 unique flavors of chef-crafted sandwiches, made with almond wood smoked pulled chicken or crispy golden fried tenders. Some of those sandwiches include the Chicken and Waffles; the Loaded Bama with white Bama BBQ sauce, coleslaw, dill pickles; the Smoked Chicken BLT with pepper jack cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, Max’s signature sauce and pickles; and the Sriracha Hot Honey, featuring hand-breaded tenders, buttermilk garlic sauce, sriracha hot honey, bread, and butter pickles on a brioche bun.
In addition, Chick N Max serves its signature almond wood smoked chicken in the form of wings, leg quarters, breast quarters, and half chicken.
Guests can complete their meal with a range of 10 homestyle sides including fries, onion rings, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and smoked white beans, and 11 sauces that are made daily to ensure the highest quality and taste.
“We want our guests to enjoy every aspect of the Chick N Max experience and make sure that their satisfaction is our number one priority,” adds Max. “We aim to make our new restaurant a local favorite and enhance the already amazing reputation of the brand as we continue to expand throughout the area.”
The Sioux Falls expansion comes at a time when Chick N Max is looking to open new restaurants across the United States. With six restaurants now open and operating across Kansas, Texas and South Dakota, Chick N Max plans to open as many as five new restaurants each year.
