Byrd's Hot Chicken has carved out a strong identity of its own. Located just a mile from Dave's Hot…read moreChicken, the two share a similar foundation, but Byrd's distinguishes itself through creativity and imagination. Where others lean on the purity of the ingredients, Byrd's leans into bold concepts and inventive presentations of hot chicken. The result is a menu that's both fun and flavorful, offering great hot chicken in a variety of clever forms. It's energetic, confident cooking -- and absolutely worth coming back for.

I ordered the 8 pcs Byrds Chicken bites with fries and my husband got the 5 pcs fingers with fries and a drink. The chicken was well cook. It was very crunchy yet the meat remained a bit juicy. The 24k sauce was my husband favorite but I found it spicy for my taste. I requested ranch sauce instead. I also asked if I could try the cheese sauce for my fries.

The not-chicken (cauliflower) is really good, especially at a hot spice level. Employees are usually very friendly and the place is always clean (sometimes it's a little sticky by the pop machine, but that is to be expected).

The food definitely stands out in terms of quality. It is most comparable to places like Canes , with the chicken/fries/toast combo. However they excel in comparison with their dirty sodas and other food offerings. The fries, cheese curds and Texas toast are all delicious snack options. Everything comes out hot and cooked to order. The portions are a good size and it all tastes fresh. The dirty sodas were a fun thing to try out. During my visits, I tried the "Toasty Marshmallow" (Mr Pibb) and the "Float On" (Barqs) . Both are sweet combinations and are fun treats. There's a lot here that makes them stand out from most fast-casual places and overall provide a quality dining experience.

In a category that I feel is saturated with lots of restaurants, and becoming increasingly…read moresaturated -- Minnie Bird stands out for me both in terms of choice and quality. Shops that offer chicken tenders, chicken sandwiches, fries, and similar options have become very commonplace in this area of the Chicago suburbs. Even without considering the quality of food, there's a few features that make this a hit for me. The dining room is fun, yet appropriate. The value here is great both in terms of quantity of food, and overall pricing. The ice cream that changes monthly provides a fun way to customize a periodic visit. While I'm not crazy about the texture and flavor of it, it's still an enjoyable dessert -- particularly on a warm day. The sides such as fried cheese curds and spicy fries are different. The dirty soda options also provide a ton of possibilities for social media posts and different flavor options on each visit. Service is not too slow for how busy the restaurant is, and parking isn't too difficult. The food is very good here, both in terms of flavor and texture -- and generously portioned as well. The tenders rival the best versions I've had from other dedicated chicken restaurants. Crispy with tender chicken that stands well on its own without sauces, but at the same time has a heightened experience with the quality sauces, which each have a distinct flavor profile. I also enjoyed the cole slaw and texas toast considerably, and especially the fries which were crisp and matched very well with the sauces. The same level of food quality is also present in their sandwiches and wraps, which mix the same quality components together for a delicious product.

I originally stopped by to pick up my couscous salad with chicken, but when I saw they were serving Aedni chai, I decided to add that on. It took about 10 minutes to prepare, so I stayed and enjoyed my lunch there. I love the variety of food and the perfect balance of spice they offer! However, it's not the most affordable option. For instance, the quinoa salad is delicious and healthy, but once you add chicken, the price skyrockets to $26, which feels excessive--especially since the portions seem to be getting smaller. Despite the pricing, I enjoyed both the salad and chai. It's a solid lunch option if you don't mind a bit of heat! Hopefully, they'll consider adjusting the prices in the future.

When we entered we were well greeted by two of the staff. Very friendly and professional people. And although the outside of the business is somewhat plain the inside is really nice. Well lit with a nice layout and atmosphere. I nice mural on the wall as well. My wife ordered the 2 pc white chicken and waffle. For some reason they consider a wing as white meat? Anyhow, you get a wing and a huge breast with a waffle. The chicken is fried and the batter has a nice taste to it. The breast was way over cooked and dry however. But overall it was good at a price of $8.99. I had the Spicy Chicken Sandwich. Its served on a regular hamburger bun and the chicken was extremely small. Most of the sandwich was the bun. It was good well and tasted delicious. It comes with a small amount of fries all for $10.99. This item is way over priced and not at all worth the cost. I would value this at $7-$8. Both of our orders were extremely fresh. Cooked to order. It took 30 minutes from order time to get the food which is too long. Neither of us will order these items again but we will return to try other menu items. And the key here is to call in and order ahead.
