    Inside court yard or food court.

    The chicken here was very good, but way too much breading. The spicy chicken tender had good favor and nice pepper kick. We got the two chicken tenders, 1 hot and 1 normal and my wife really liked hers, normal. We ordered an order of Mac /cheese and size was loads, see my pictures and the spices they added were on point. If we are in the area at future time, we would stop here again. The location is inside the mall, inside food court, not on main street

    The Byrd sandwich with cheese
    Nena C.

    Thank you Byrd's chicken and Mirella! This meal was yummy. I had the fried chicken sandwich which was battered perfectly. I ate it right away and the outside was super crisp! The sandwich came with pickles and coleslaw on it, 24k sauce on the side, and I added cheese to it. The flavors were great. I ordered the chicken spiced medium, but i think they gave me mild because I ordered my boyfriend's spiced hot and his was like fire. If his was 8/10 spice level, mine was like a 2-3/10. I was expecting more like a 5-6/10. I read other reviews saying that the medium had a good kick, so, I believe that their spice level is usually on point. The sandwich came with fries and those were also cooked perfectly. The outside was crispy and the inside was soft. There was a good amount of seasoning on them too. Unfortunately the fries didn't keep till I got home for my boyfriend to feel how crispy they were, but the burger I got him lasted and he thought it was fantastic! The only negative things I have to say are that my fries and my chicken had a tad too much salt and I wish the chicken was a little juicier. My boyfriends was seasoned better. Oh! And the address on google is wrong. I submit for it to be changed. Google thinks this place is where Half Price books is, but it's not. It's in the Orland Square Mall food court.

    Chicken sandwich meal

    Maybe I came at a bad time, but I didn't like this meal. I got a chicken sandwich meal, and here's the breakdown: The macaroni and cheese was laughable. Cheese? What cheese? It was mostly noodles with a very very thin and bland sauce. I didn't expect much, and I didn't get much in the realm of flavor. Overall definitely not worth getting the macaroni. The chicken sandwich was the biggest disappointment. The coleslaw was a decent crunch but very messy, and kind of bland for it being coleslaw. The bun was OK I guess. The chicken itself has a lot of breading but it was large. It was a large piece, but the way it tasted it had kind of a burnt flavor. Even though it didn't look burnt. Which is strange; overall, I didn't like the flavor of the sandwich and it also wasn't flavorful. The pickles help though! Lastly the fries were the only good part of this meal. And the only reason why this rating is getting two. This seasoning on it was delicious there's a good amount of them, and overall they were a good seasoned fry. Similar to a Rally's fry or a Checkers fry but a little thicker and a little less of that seasoning, but still pretty freaking good. The sauce that went with the meal, was also not good. It tasted like barbecue chips, which may or may not be your thing. It is a good amount of food and I was super full, but the tastes were disappointing. In all, I do not suggest a chicken sandwich, maybe the chicken tenders are better but I probably will not be eating here again and I do not recommend this restaurant. And once again maybe it was an off day I don't know but I personally won't be coming back here for the foreseeable future.

    I should preface this review by stating that I went to the Algonquin location on a Sunday, and the Orland Park location the following Monday, so it was interesting being able to compare different locations back-to-back. The Orland Park location is inside a mall food court. While the dining experience of a standalone restaurant is much nicer, surprisingly, the food at Orland Park turned out to be better. My wife and I ordered a chicken sandwich w/ fries & drink to share. We went with medium spice since she doesn't have a high tolerance for spice, but I didn't sense any spiciness at all. If I was getting a sandwich for myself next time, I'd definitely go for hot. The chicken was thick enough and not overly breaded; it was good. The cole slaw inside the sandwich was generous, but not the most flavorful slaw I've had. The bun was decent; nothing special, but no complaints. The fries were too many (I think it was 2 sides worth of fries?), but very crispy and tasty; the orange sauce on the side was a nice touch. Overall, enjoyed the food at Orland Park. I think I still prefer Dave's Hot Chicken and Chi-Tea, but Byrd's in Orland Park is another good option to keep in mind.

    over priced for bland food. menu says $8.99 for just sandwich, i got some sauce on the side total came out to $13, charge 1 dollar for extra sauce thennnnn they didn't even give me my sauce! terrible place food definitely not worth the price huge rip offs!!

    Terrible service. I ordered here recently and after placing my order and paying, the cashier told me I had to pay more because he got our order wrong. I repeated the order to him several times to confirm, but even after the confirmation it was still wrong. I don't know how you can mess up taking an order after it being repeated to you several times. He then gave us attitude and had to have the last word in. The food is also so wet. The fried pickles were not fully cooked because the batter was still raw on the inside. Not to mention the hair in our food but that was the least of our problems.

    Friend of mine posted about going to one in California and they have locations in IL. Decided to look it up and was shocked to find out they have one in Orland Square Mall. Me and friend decided to try them out and we were amazed! Fresh tasty, we loved it. Nice staff too. Coleslaw and Mac and cheese were amazing! Everything! Beats Fry The Coop for sure. Just wish they had a stand alone location so I don't have to go inside of the mall to go eat there. Hopefully they open up another stand alone location. Best of all they're halal too!

    #1 combo. Seasoned fries, Mac and cheese and sandwich mild.

    The sandwich was a crispy, spicy delight, perfected with some slaw, some wonderful sauce in between a brioche bun.

    The Market Fresh Cafe is located near the restrooms in the food court of the Orland Square Mall…read more The food options are nothing drastically different than what was previously available in the food court before this shop opened. The staff offered my girlfriend and I a sample of their bourbon flavored chicken. The bourbon chicken tasted A LOT like the teriyaki chicken from the Japanese restaurant right next door. I would almost argue that his entire business model is designed around under cutting the Japanese restaurant while offered more Americanized side dishes such as mashed potatoes, mac-n-cheese, veggies, and the like. I actually prefer the chicken and the rice from the Japanese restaurant. The rice tasted grainy and the veggies we had with our meal were soaked in a butter sauce. I would considered coming back her again to try some of his other sides.

For those who have not visited Orland Square, it is right in the middle of the building on the first floor. My goal was to spend less than $10. That is how I wound up at Chikwich. I was looking for a simple sandwich, not items with sauces or pasta dishes and ordered a crispy chicken sandwich, plain with no soft drink. Given those preferences I found a nice lunch at this location. The sandwich was served hot and the chicken was very tasty. I was given a small water to go with the meal. There was no carry-over taste-wise by the restaurant next door as that seems to have been a former Zoup location that is being turned into another restaurant. Total cost was $7.02.

The theme is generally the…read moresame but this one has a walk up bar instead of a conveyor belt with the veggies and sides on it. There is a robot that brings meats. This also has a BBQ grill on the table as well as a broth pot. We were rapidly seated for a late Saturday lunch. The atmosphere is fun. The restaurant is super clean. The sides are delicious. The main meats are great and the side bar has more meats there. The price is all you can eat and the value is excellent. I cannot recommend this place more.

I thought ok ok, maybe the first time when we had korean BBQ, it was a one off. Let's give them another chance. The 2nd time we had hot pot and that was even worse The food has been sitting out for at least 5 hours because the beef balls start the turn color and the sour smell coming off the food was horrendous. I really should have spoken up because I got really sick afterwards and had to call in sick with stomach pain all night. Then my family also was in the bathroom all night due to the spoiled food that was left too long. If you need a food poisoning with sour food that has been sitting out hours and hours and pay $200 for 4 people, a real bathroom cleanse so you can use your sick day in bed throwing up then this place is absolutely for you. It's not my idea of expensive fun time so I would not go back even if THEY pay me $200. Food poisoning recommended

I looked around and counted 8 open tables and booths. I witnessed a couple come in and be told it would be a 10 minute wait. Not sure why with plenty of open tables in areas they actively had people seated in. Now for our meal. After ordering our drinks it took 8 minutes(yes I timed it) for our drinks to be served. Ok not great, but below average at best. However when everyone was done with their drinks we couldn't even get our servers attention when she was at the table NEXT to us. Now onto our food, I came here specifically because I had a taste for prime rib. When the prime rib came out 25% of it was fat very disappointing. I've had prime rib here before and this is the worst it has been. Also, when my food was put down, I only received one of my two sides and by the time our server checked on us, I was already 80% of the way done with the prime rib and I just asked for the other side to go. It's gonna be a while before I come back and give this place. Another try Service is definitely slipped and the food quality was very disappointing this time.
