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!!!!

Not too shabby of an experience. Worth the try but definitely not the best Chicken Sandwich in…read moreChicago. I definitely should have tried the Spicy Chicken Sandwich though! 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

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.

If flavor had a headquarters, Jerk Yard would be running the show…read more I've been a fan of Caribbean food for years, and let me tell you--Jerk Yard gets it right. Their new spot inside Picnic, the digital food court in South Loop, is a total game-changer. From the moment I placed my order to the very last bite, it was nothing short of . What's even better? This is Jerk Yard's second location, following the success of their beloved original in Hyde Park--and yes, it brings the same delicious taste and chill island vibes that made the first one such a favorite. Consistency is everything, and they've nailed it again. Let's talk food: the jerk chicken is juicy, smoky, and seasoned to perfection with just the right amount of heat. You know how some places say "jerk" but really mean "barely spiced"? Not here. This is the real deal. I paired it with their coconut rice and sweet plantains--absolutely chef's kiss. The plantains were golden, soft, and caramelized just right. Portions are generous, the packaging is on point (perfect for takeout), and the flavors? Unmatched. The team clearly puts love into every plate. And while the new location is in a digital food hall, it still feels like Jerk Yard--welcoming, flavorful, and full of good energy. Whether you've been rocking with them since Hyde Park or you're new to the brand, this South Loop spot is a must-visit. Pro tip: if the oxtail is on the menu, do yourself a favor and get it. Thank me later.

We got the half and half whole chicken, which comes with half original and half secret sauce. It says secret sauce is spicy, but I felt absolutely no spice and found it more sweet, so that was great!! The half with the sauce was definitely better, as it was much more juicy while still maintaining the crispy outer batter!! The original side was a toss up - some pieces were super moist and crispy on the outside, while some were quite dry inside. The fries were so crispy right when we picked up the food!

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 :)
