The staff and service were very quick and friendly. Our food also came out super quick. The chicken sandwich, chicken nuggets, and fries were tremendous. My daughter and I ate a very happy meal on the sidewalk. I do wish they had some seats, but sitting next to the feral cat next door wasn't too bad. Guard your food and watch out for birds.

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.

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.

We had the pimento mac and cheese double, smashed potatoes double, and French fries. The fried chicken was crispy and tender and I loved the texture of the fries! The Mac and cheese was also had a delicious unique taste. Service was fine for overall, we were waiting for water even after our food got to our table. Overall, loved the ambiance in the outdoor patio and the food. We will be back especially to try some pie for sure!

We went to GG's Chicken Shop on Southport next door to Little Goat Diner (one of Stephanie Izards restaurants). Neither of us had eaten @ GG's Chicken Shop. When we asked for a recommendation the guy working the counter asked if we had eaten there before. Neither of us had & he suggested the Original Fried Chicken sandwich which was delicious. This sandwich had a nice crispy plump fried chicken breast w/pickles, shredded cabbage, hot honey & spicy mayo on a bun. This was a delicious blend of the fried chicken w/the crunch of the cabbage & pickle & the hot honey & spicy mayo. This was an excellent choice that we both enjoyed the sandwich. Dam I was so hungry I scarfed it down before I even took a picture of the delicious sandwich

GG's was good, but I thought the chicken wrap was a little overhyped. I'm not sure if I went on an…read moreoff day but I thought the wrap was very dry and lacked sauce. I asked for an extra side of sauce to dip it in & that helped significantly. We did LOVE all the sides. The mac & cheese was soooo good (and I am hard to impress when it comes to mac & cheese. It tasted way better than it looks). The brussel sprouts were perfectly crispy & not soggy at all. The fries were seasoned great and were sooo good dipped in the ranch. Even though the wrap was disappointing, I would still go back and try their chicken sandwich instead or one of their salads!

I sat down & a lady said you have 20 min because we close at 9PM, we typically dont accept dine ins after 8:30PM. Note there was no sign regarding this. Typically most restaurants "close at 9PM" means, they stop taking orders at 9PM. In lieu of we need to close the kitchen at 8:30PM to be out the business doors by 9PM. Maybe there should be a sign that states Kitchen Closes at 8:30PM We drove from Belmont Cragin, paid for parking, all to be turned down.

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

I have been craving chicken tenders with honey mustard and ONLY chicken tenders and honey mustard lol. They always hit the spot just right and getting one for free just made it EVEN better. Their chicken is always so well seasoned but not salty, the fries come with a sprinkle of parmesan and parsley but you can opt out of that if you'd like. I also ordered the city sauce, the lemon thyme ranch and honey dijon. Everything was so well prepared and very tasty. I hate when I have beautiful but dry tenders and this was definitely not that. Oh! I also ordered a side of pickles because you can't have one without the other. My total came to 19.63 before tax and 28.63 after tip! Happy Saturday ! Get out and enjoy this beautiful day! Thank you guys for a delicious meal!
