We used the online app to order because they have a rewards program. We ordered and split the 5 piece chicken strips dinner. There are different spice levels. We ordered mild because my husband doesn't like things too spicy (I love spicy foods) it came with a sauce we picked the buffalo sauce. When we got our order the tenders were definitely not mild.... Probably medium. They also gave us the 24k sauce so we had to exchange it for the buffalo sauce. Everything was great but the app automatically adds a tip... I only caught it because the total went from $14.99 to $19.99 and when I checked there was a $2 tip. So I removed it. They don't even bring your food to the table. So be aware if you're ordering on the app. read more

My husband and his dad went here for lunch and they raved about it. This place keeps the menu simple and chicken-forward - tenders, sandwiches, wings - with a good variety of sauces and spice levels to choose from. The staff was friendly and informative, helping talk through their options. The chicken tenders (medium heat) had great flavor and the perfect spice level. Tenders are huge! The fries had a bit of a kick, but were great with the dipping sauce, and they also recommend getting the coleslaw as a nice cool down. Last note - this place is in a strip mall so they've got tons of parking, but it's got more takeout vibes inside. Maybe 3 tables with counter service. read more

Byrd’s Hot Chicken - Halal Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

See all

Usually love Byrds and and their tenders and fries were great, but ordered through Uber Eats today and had two major issues. The first is the chicken sandwiches were both inedible because the chicken breast pieces were hard and undercooked. We ended up replacing the the tenders in the sandwiches and throwing out the chicken. Second the Mac and cheese tasted great a few weeks ago but today the sauce / flavor to macaroni ratio was way too high making the Mac and cheese also inedible. They really need quality control to prevent jn the future. I would have rated 1 star but I know they can do better so hoping they use this review to improve their chicken sandwiches and Mac and cheese. Will be getting only the tenders in the future. read more

Delicious chicken! We ordered the Byrd Bomb with medium sauce and it was delicious. The service was good and the restaurant was clean. read more

We tried Byrds for the first time today. Even the kids enjoyed their no spice tenders. We got medium heat chicken sandwich, a mild heat sandwich and fried pickles. The sauce was also so good. Everything was great! The service was wonderful and super friendly as well. We will definitely be back! read more

In short, good but not amazing at all. I most likely won't be coming back. The reviews had me very excited to come here. Got the bird bomb because it sounded amazing. I asked and it ends up that only includes one tender. Bummer.. So I asked to add one more to give just the chicken alone a fair judgement. Was right at 19+ bucks, with a small cup of free water. Gentleman brought it out in a Togo container in under 10 minutes, nice, even though I mentioned I was eating in when I ordered. Opened the foam (ditch the foam already) Togo container and it looked good, a bit busy and overdressed and couldn't see chicken on it, or the fries for that matter. I dove in with a fork. Flavors and spices are in there for sure, I went for hot. But chicken itself was a little dry and half way through all I had was loads of breading chunks and soggy bread. I was no longer enjoying it at this point. Even with the extra tender it seemed like it needed more chicken, fries and less toppings and breading. I was the only one in there, 2 take out orders while I was there. 530 on a weekday. Service was ok, just functional. Lobby could use a good clean, just acceptable, floor had some fries and food pieces on it. I really thought I would be blown away, but both Fry the coop and Dave's hot chicken have bigger and juicier chicken pieces for smaller prices. And amazing customer service.. Hot was a good level for me, but hard to compare when you have a moshpit of breading, sauce, bread and not enough chicken or fries. Ate just over half and pitched the rest. Left disappointed, I'm a bit sad. Was hoping to bring home leftovers and have them for lunch tomm. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but only 1 chance make a first impression. read more

Byrd’s Hot Chicken - Bomb fries with extra tender, 19+ bucks. - Halal Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

We walked in and were told to get the medium spice for our chicken. We got mild, which was already a little much. Overall, with all the toppings, it was at the perfect spice level for a white girl and her man who knows her spice level better than she knows herself. Their "medium" is probably where you'd have a formal declaration of war on your butthole. The fries and chicken basket was a perfect deconstructed sandwich which is one of their most popular items. It just lacked pickles. The pickles are supposed to be the peace treaty for the "mild" sauce. Byrd's chose violence today. read more

I like this place. Was at Lombard recently this place is a little smaller than Lombard. What's interesting is: the same guy was at the counter here in Schaumburg that was in Lombard a week or so ago. I asked him & was told yes they do get moved around. I'm thinking it's the same family or relatives (group) that owns these . Anyway, the sandwiches are done spectacularly. A nice little crust on it, but not heavy breading. Great selection of spices, and sauces are decent. Fries are good. Potato salad is just so so, I'm not impressed by that. But the family gives very good service. Places are clean. The food is great, & not terribly expensive. Definitely well worth a stop and one of the better hot chicken sandwiches around. read more

My son and I both got the chicken sandwich combo with fries. I got mine SUPA Hot and he got his just Hot. We like spicy food so the SUPA Hot is really perfect (spot on) meaning it's not to a point where it's so hot that you can enjoy it. We also got the chicken (crispy) and it was done really well. The fries had a perfect amount of seasoning and the 24K sauce was excellent to dip the fries or the chicken sandwich into. If you like Dave's hot chicken give this place a try (I would say it's right up at that level). We will be returning. read more

Byrd's Hot Chicken is a welcome surprise to Schaumburg, 100% HALAL and amazingly delicious! We were greeted friendly by Oman the minute we stepped in. They kept their menu simple to perfect every item they offer. We tried the sandwich special #1 hot with fries and slaw. There's a flavor for everyone as they have 5 different spice levels from Plain to "Supa Hot"! Everything was made to order, neatly labeled and carefully packaged. Other unique sides I'm going to try next time is Byrd's nest fried green beans and their Mac n Cheese! They give generous side portions. The crinkle cut fries were hot and the cole slaw chilled and fresh. The sandwich on that fluffy brioche bun was 10/10 for sure. It's fresh chicken not frozen and you can definitely taste the difference. The breading is light and crispy with the 24k special sauce adding a nice finishing touch. The place was very organized and very clean. They are definitely a game changer when it comes to chicken sandwiches. We really enjoyed our meal and will make this our go to place for the BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH AND TENDERS IN THE AREA! The chicken was super flavorful and the light breading was nice and crispy. This place doesn't disappoint! read more

The fries was on top of bread and Coleslaw and covered in chicken and sauce, topped with pickles and more sauce! Def recommend trying! Halal read more

Byrd’s Hot Chicken - SANDWICH 2 SIDES BYRD BOMB SLAW CHEESE FRIES LARGE FRIES - Halal Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

Great place, glad we tried. Chicken sandwich was delicious, sides were good, service was excellent.

I really enjoy a good hot chicken sandwich, and this one did not disappoint. I called ahead for the chicken sandwich, and chose "hot" as my spice level. There is one hotter choice, but this was perfect for me. The combo came with fries and potato salad (like a double-down carb fest). The fries were pretty standard, but I also found them tasty. They included a cup of their house sauce with the meal, which was a nice touch. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the brioche bun was fresh and delicious. The people were nice and the price was fair. I'll be back again. read more

Byrd’s Hot Chicken - Hot chicken sandwich combo - Halal Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

Came here with my husband for the first time and it was pretty good. This location just opened less than a month ago, and because we never heard of it before, we wanted to try it out. They are apparently based in Orange County, CA, and I love that they are a more sustainable and caring chain; they advertise that their chickens are raised with no antibiotics or animal byproducts and are 100% vegetable-fed. Upon walking into the restaurant, a worker greeted us at the counter. He was patient with us when we were looking at the menu, but we didn't have to look too long at the menu because it is small and pretty limited. Their menu pretty much consists of chicken tenders, nuggets, or sandwiches. There are not many sides to choose from either (just fries and potato salad are free and mac and cheese or fried crispy green beans are an upcharge), so I found it odd that they have combos with a choice of 2 slides on their menu. They definitely need to add more regular side options. I would like to come back and try their cake shakes, though, because those sound delicious. My husband and I both ordered a medium-spiced single chicken sandwich ($7.99 each) with a side of large cheese fries ($5.99). You can get your chicken plain, mild, medium, hot, or "supa hot". We took our food to-go, but because they cook the food to order, we waited about 10 minutes in the dining room. The restaurant was very warm and it didn't feel like the AC was on, so I was glad we decided not to eat in-store. When we got home and ate our food, we were pleasantly surprised by the flavors. Everything was good and the chicken tender on both sandwiches was large, crispy, and juicy. However, I don't think it was spicy at all, so maybe next time I would try the "supa hot" spice because I love spicy foods. I'm not sure what their 24k sauce is, but I didn't really like it. It was on the sandwich and they also gave sauce cups on the side. The cheese fries were pretty good, but nothing was unique or special about them. We could have ordered them with hot sauce on them, but we decided on having plain cheese fries. I would order them again, though. Overall, I am glad we tried this place and I would come back, but it wouldn't be my first choice. You can tell that you are eating a Nashville hot chicken sandwich because they have the same texture and cayenne pepper coating, but I have had better Nashville-styled ones elsewhere. read more

They will cheat you on the "BOGO" on "uber" eats. Not trustworthy at all. I placed a "BOGO" and they gave me less then 1/2 of my order. Untrustworthy not good people. read more

I haven't tried any of their chicken sandwich but omg, there Byrd's bomb is bomb asf. The portion is huge. It honestly can probably feed 3 people max. Definitely order this when you can because you will not be disappointed. It hits the spot. read more

Byrd’s Hot Chicken - BYRD BOMB - Halal Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

My boyfriend & I decided to ditch our original brunch plans in a spur-of-the-moment decision to come here instead, and we have absolutely zero regrets!! Came in during lunch time on a Monday so it wasn't crazy busy. We ordered two orders of the 2-for-$10 sandwich deal (so we could have leftovers for later lol), a side of mac n' cheese (hot spice level), & a "side" (honestly, a whole meal itself because of how much they give you) of fries (medium spice level). Food was delicious & hot-- temperature-wise and spice-wise, and the crunch on the chicken was unforgettable. I also appreciated the range of spice-levels available (ranging "Plain" to "Supahot") :) Discovered a hidden gem in Schaumburg for sure!! read more

Byrd’s Hot Chicken - 2 sandwiches for $10 + mac n' cheese (hot spice level) + side of fries (medium spice level) - Halal Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

Really good food and large portions! I ordered the mild chicken sandwich. The sauce on it is delicious and the pieces of fried chicken are huge. I did notice the bread was a little more greasy than I'd like, but it won't deter me from eating here again. We ordered a large fry with our sandwiches. It's a generous size and the fries are very good. Just the sandwich and a shared large fry will fill you up! We ordered pickup, and the service was efficient. I recommend trying them out! read more

SO FREAKING GOOD. THE FRIED CHICKEN WAS SO CRISPY OMG. LOVED loved LOVED this place. Went twice wishing 3 days. We were big fans. We will definitely be coming back. The absolute crispiest, crunchy and tasty fried chicken ever. The service was nice and kind. The food was so fresh so any wait is worth it to me (maybe 10 min). Such a clean nice restaurant. read more

Yeah! Really good sandwiches, like in the whole universe. Juicy tender chicken with crunchy spiced edges and seasonal levels of your choice. We tasted a few, medium, hot, and super hot. Even the super hot is flavorful and delicious [hot ones youtube level medium+]. All sandwiches come with a mustard yummy potato salad and seasoned fries! Pro tip: Housemade sauce is unique and cooling. Best the green beans are incredible. Pleasantly surpided to find one of the best hot chicaken experiences at our local--Enjoy! read more

Portions were pretty big, definitely have enough to take home if need be. Chicken was solid. Fries were average. There was hella sauce on my order "Byrd bomb" definitely overwhelming.

Potato Salad is excellent, chicken cooked perfect, side sauce is just right amount of heat (used it on fries). Highly recommend!

New business. Very clean. Friendly staff. Pricing for food is reasonable. The only thing I didn't like was the enormous amount of breading on the chicken wings, but it's a chain restaurant so that how much breading they put on their chicken wings read more

Byrd’s Hot Chicken - LARGE FRIES SINGLE SANDWICH - Halal Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

Have been waiting for this location to open for some time. We ordered the Byrd Bombs which is cut up tenders over fries with cheese and 24k sauce. The medium had a decent kick and the hot was super spicy. The chicken is Zabiha Halal and the owners are very nice. read more

Tiny inside so be prepared and a little warm. I honestly think with the volume of sales that I saw being done here that they need a much bigger location. And more in Illinois too. Took about 15-20 minutes to get our food but worth it. Shake I don't think is worth $7, though. Small and runny Delicious, halal and fresh. Two of us split it and still had half left! Do not be shocked by the prices because you'll definitely get your moneys worth here in terms of quality and portion sizes!! (Except for the shake) Will return read more

Byrd’s Hot Chicken - Bird bomb mild - Halal Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

Such amazing food! My boyfriend and I were in line at the food court at Woodfield mall and saw that Byrd's was opening up there as well. The picture on the wall completely sold us. We hopped out of line and headed over to the Schaumburg location. Hands down best chicken sandwich we've ever had. We've been back a few times and for some reason the lack of ingredients (no slaw on the sandwich & we weren't notified) and miscommunication with our orders for take out hasn't been great. They do have great customer service so we will most certainly be back. The location itself is fine but I feel they could benefit from a bigger location with more seating and maybe some shades to block out the sun - it gets hot and crowded in there! read more

Food was amazing, great portion sizes would definitely recommend for anyone looking for something tasty and not super expensive

First time having this, absolutely the most delicious spicy chicken sandwich I've ever had! Will definitely come back! :)

We've been here multiple times, and the chicken tenders and nuggets are great. The guy at the counter is super friendly. I will be back again. The fried green beans are awesome! Good cheese fries. Their 24k sauce is good. You can get everything plain if you can't handle heat, but we love the spicy on everything. read more

The chicken was horrible!! It is not Southern Style at all. I was surprised and disappointed about the taste of the food.

Exactly what I wanted and more. Fries are solid, seasoned nicely. The chicken was incredibly crispy and flavorful. The sauce is solid as well. I got a #2 with two tenders at medium spicy which was just right for me. Service was efficient and friendly. The inside is kind of cool with a modernized feel. I'll be back soon. read more

Friendly staff and amazing food. very clean environment and the vibe was perfect. very delicious lunch.

It seems to be family owned the family there are very nice and kind people !! This is mine and my wife go spot if your ever craving hot chicken we got the medium level heat and it's the right amount of spicy for us definitely coming back more often!! We shared the bird bomb fries and we're full all day read more

Oh ya one of my favorite places me and my family really enjoyed it nice people good food

The chicken is definitely tasty but this time I was turned off by the fact that they wouldn't honor the online menu options. For example, I wasn't allowed to get a tender meal with sides. I had to purchase two tenders individually for $4.99 EACH. And, the chicken sandwich was just a tender on bread. So the experience wasn't great this time. It could've been a one off, but I'd recommend ordering online and picking up in store. read more
