Hienie's McCarthy's Of Orland Park

"Grab Some Hienies"

About Us

?

?
Henry "Hienie" McCarthy, born in 1905 in Chicago, grew up on the city's south side.

In 1947, Hienie borrowed $500 from his brother-in-law to open a fresh fish store at 726 State Street in Hammond, Indiana. Inspired by a customer's suggestion to fry the fish, Hienie added fryers and expanded the menu to include fried fish and shrimp, leading to the creation of Hienie’s Shrimp House. The business thrived, and Hienie's four sons soon joined him.

About a year later, the business relocated to 9134 Mackinaw in Chicago, near the bustling US Steel Mills. Hienie, with his sons Eddie and Bob, operated the store until the early hours of the morning. In 1965, they built a new location at 9101 Mackinaw. Facing challenges like demands for protection money, Bob expanded the business, opening a store at 8450 Commercial in Chicago and later, in 1983, another location at 10359 S Torrence.In 1978, Bob opened Hienie’s McCarthy’s in Orland Park for his children—Tami, Bob Jr., Denise, and Paul.

Despite the challenges of sibling collaboration, Bob Jr. launched a new store in Chicago Ridge in 1986 and another in Tinley Park a year later. With business thriving, the family ventured into franchising, selling locations in Calumet City, Whiting, Indiana, and Cicero, Illinois.

However, they quickly realized that franchising presented unique challenges compared to selling their beloved chicken, fish, and shrimp.Today, Hienie’s on Torrence and Hienie’s McCarthy’s in Orland Park continue to flourish, proudly remaining a family business for over 60 years and spanning four generations.

When you look up the word "Generous" in the dictionary, Hienie's comes up. Tami and crew are incredibly hard working and have top-tier service you dont find very often nowadays. This place has been around forever and is still providing some of the best value you can find anywhere. Hienie's is your perfect quick lunch stop if you live around the area. Personally, I would travel here if I wasn't a local already. A++++

On 11/12/2025 Michael&Mari Rice had this to say:
Great food!!!!! I love the chicken chucks & strips and the potatoes are good too. I personally like the Greek potatoes but the other choices they have are good too. Other places that sell Chicken have nothing on them. They are in a league of there own. The owners and staff are very friendly.

On 11/9/2025 Kevin Greenhill had this to say:
I've been eating their famous fried chicken, potato wedges and mild sauce since I was a kid. But they also have a few hidden secrets like their homemade Italian Beef!! Also they acquired a the best new baker in the South Side, SAM who makes the best cookies, cakes and pies I've ever had. Lastly, ask for Tammy!! She makes the best fried chicken sandwich on the Planet!! TASTYY
