This place just took the #1 chicken sandwich spot in the city for me!!! And for a decent price?!…read moreThe hype is real!!! Food was delicious. Chicken was moist (we tried a honey chicken sandwich and nuggets), fries were crispy and well salted, and the sauces (garlic aioli and ranch) were free delicious add ons. It's a counter shop, with no seating indoors. There are standing small tables outside available. The service was quick and easy, as their menu is small but mighty! Can't wait to come back and try the hot honey sandwich!!!!

The breading was pretty hard which I didn't mind, but they would've been a lot better if they were crispier and served hotter. 5/10. The tenders and slider were bussin. We got the mild flavor and it honestly wasn't spicy at all, so I'd probably go hotter next time. Definitely not your average tenders. Some of the best tenders I've had. 8/10. Fries were normal. Service was fine. The server greeted me right away when I walked up, which was nice. The vibes were decent and casual at first, but then a whole biker gang pulled up and the spot started feeling kinda sus.

Well this was a bucket list to visit and pay patronage to my coworkers husband's restaurant which I…read morenever heard of. Where do I start well I did enjoy the sides a lot. Luckily I had a discount and was able to try it most of the sides. It was french fries the mashed potatoes and the ethnic Mexican elote for corn on a stick with chili butter and Mayonnaise which I heard of and seen but never tried until now. Anyways starting with the mashed potatoes they were delicious. They were not too thick and texture nor was it too whipped. It was just right as well as the gravy that they use which is not too salty. The french fries had the right texture and crisp as well as the season that went well with it it wasn't too soggy and it wasn't too bland. The Mexican elote which I was surprised as a comedian named Leon Rogers mentioned about this Hispanic treat and I just didn't imagine chili powder with mayo on corn but now I taste the difference it is a wow delicious. As for the tune styles of cooking chicken between El jefe and crazy Chico I went for the crazy Chico. This one is Brian's in herbs. It was ok. A healthy choice to eat for dinner versus eating fried chicken but it was fresh but I didn't taste the wow it's not bad but it was not a wow good. When I come back next time I'm going to have to try the El jefe version and it comes in two different sizes I went for the quarter order. Service e was very friendly as I was the co-workers guest. As for the ambience it was very casual and minimal that's the way My co worker husband wanted it because they could focus on specialties versus having so many things in the menu and then lack the best of what to deliver. So far 4 out of 5 stars but will be coming back.

I'm actually SO surprised I haven't written a review for Budlong yet?! This has been a long time…read morecoming.... What's not new: the chicken, is in my opinion the best in the city. The sheer SIZE of these things, and they are fried to perfection. One sandwich is enough to fill you which I appreciate. The pickles that they use too are thick cut and balance with the chicken well. The more pickles the better!! What is new: these fried chicken wraps. OMG. I don't want to compare them to a mcdonalds snackwrap because that would be offensive to Budlong.... because the ones BL makes are just out of this world. As expected, the chicken size is great, it actually fills the wrap. I ended up ordering both the hot honey and the bbq. Both were awesome I just wish I got something with a little more spice. But I still will be ordering these again! I also tried the fried pickles for the first time which were great! I just wish they used dill pickles instead of bread+butter (I assumed they used this?) because they were a bit too sweet for me. But if you like bread and butter pickles you will love these. Next time I go I neeeeeed to try their plant based nuggets. I'm not vegan, but I LOVE vegan foods, and think more restaurants need to follow suit! Also on my list is the Peach Hand Pie and the Banana Pudding... I think that speaks for itself If you haven't been into Budlong - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!! Get yourself some chicken and thank me later :)

I have been here a few times, and I love how gracious and outgoing the staff is.

Also, they ducked up my order last time and I don't notice until I got home. I called them and they were going to refund me, but I decided to drive back in and get it. They ended up comping the food that was missing and they threw in some more food that I ordered when there. It was their mistake and they did me right. I didn't ask for it but they did the right thing. They won my business. That's how you treat your customers.

They ditched the delicious recipe, they ditched the actually pieces of chicken, with the slice of toast, and instead give you some basic wings with sauces that do absolutely nothing for your taste buds. The Nashville hot dry rub is terrible, zero flavor. The biscuit has no actual flavor. The service is worse than a McDonald's. You'll hear an ongoing beeping alarm as you try to dine in, that they say is from a bad drink machine? And not sure how they wash their hands with no soap in the washroom. Price used to properly reflect what you were getting here, but no longer the case. Sad to see.

Honestly between this place and raising canes virtually next door there's a ton of ok but pretty overpriced chicken sandwiches in this neighborhood. My meal ended up being 20.00 ( not including tip) which was pretty outrageous for a slightly better fast food meal The second thing that might have soured me a bit was the person making my sandwich loudly cleared their throat while they were making it. Now I try not to be so paranoid as to think someone would spit in my food but when someone makes the universal noise of someone about to hawk a loogie during meal preparation it does kind of kill your appetite. I did think the service was polite other than that. I didn't dislike the place but I also probably won't come back

I plan on coming back in the near future and giving the spicy sandwich a try, for sure. In all honesty, Popeyes Chicken sandwich has more "boom" to it and City Bird sandwich lacks something I couldn't put my tongue on. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my experience and the deal they had going on, for sure worth it all! Vibes were very mid though, nothing out of the ordinary. But buy one get one free, can't ever beat that. Thank you City Bird, I'll be seeing you soon! Personal Review: 6.9/10
