    Long standing fried chicken spot located in a strip mall in Ontario. No seating inside with the exception of a bench /seats to wait for your order. Can't remember if there was or were benches outside either. Either way, I believe they do most of their business by take out. The folks here are as friendly as can be and the fried chicken is crispy, fresh, and delicious. It should be noted that this place is not fast food so allow time in your plans for pick up or a wait, etc. The place itself is pretty chill. I came in and didn't order in advance, but had no issues waiting for my order. I ordered the 6 piece 'snack' with chicken tenders which came with fries and a roll. I really enjoyed my meal when I got home. I hope to come back soon and order one of the 4 or 2 piece chicken meals or even some of the wings. There was enough parking outside, but the lot accommodates a few businesses so it can get tight.

    Didn't even know this place existed, thanks to social media I found it! Staff were friendly and informative. Clean on the inside but gives a hidden gem look on the outside. Staff gave us suggestions on what to get. There was a 20 minute wait not too long at all when they're making it fresh. Had lots of leftovers due to big portions, would come back.

    This is the menu as of June 2026

    The service was great and friendly. The food came out fast. Made to order and the place is small but very clean. The chicken and the biscuits are delicious. I haven't been here in over 20 Years. I am glad we came back. We will be back soon.

    Wow... just wow. I think they gave me the best box of the day that chicken was so fresh. The customer service from everyone feels like home. Thank you Johnny! I met the owner, my apologies for forgetting your name Sir, very respectful and humble + hard working he is. I always see him helping and leading by example. Thank you Donohoos! 5 Stars easy to read menu and nice ambiance

    This location is so much better than the one in Pomona! I had the chicken tenders and a two piece meal and both were hot, crispy, and full of flavor. The chicken was super juicy inside exactly how it should be. The sides were just as good. The macaroni salad was creamy and fresh, the fries were hot and perfectly crispy, and the coleslaw had a nice, tangy flavor that pulled it all together. Service was quick and friendly, and everything came out fresh. Definitely my new go-to spot when I'm craving great fried chicken. Highly recommend checking this location out!

    The chicken was hot , not too much if any seasoning. The wait unfortunately for me wasn't worth the ride from Rialto. The service, hmmmm he said the food would be ready in 15 minutes and it took an additional 20 minutes. This is a very small place you might miss it passing by.

    Donahoos chicken is always consistent. No matter when you go. Whether it be everyday, every couple of months, or years like me. It's always consistent. The chicken is made simple and fresh. Never a time you'll be disappointed. If you ever are simply tell them and they are so sweet and kind they will def fix it. But it's always consistent in my opinion and experience. It's always made to order so don't rush this experience. Wait for your chicken because you won't be disappointed. Chicken is flavorful, moist , and overall yummy. Go on and check them out. Don't miss out on quality chicken.

    Since moving to Ontario this is the only place we get our fried chicken. It's a small little take-out restaurant, but I think it has other locations. The chicken is cook to order so it does take some time and the family meals usually come with rolls. I heard that it does sell out sometimes so make sure to order or come early. I came right before 6 pm and it got really busy after that. I ordered the 8 piece family tub. The rolls are the best and they are a good size but we only got 4 when ordering the 8 pc which I was pretty bummed about. Other than that the chicken is delicious and juicy. I would definitely recommend!

    I don't know what is going on with Egg N Bird, but my visit this week was completely different…read moreexperience than my past visits. First off the menu is pretty much gone. There used to be 9 breakfast food options that are no longer available. There were 5 rice bowl options that have been reduced to 2, and the 5 sandwich options are now down to 3. I'm sure for operation costs, they've had to cut down and just sell their top sellers? That's what I'm assuming because why else would you eliminate 75% of your menu? I was hoping to get some of the breakfast options for my kids and a few of the rice bowls, but since breakfast was no longer available, and I didn't really have many rice options, I just picked up the Korean bowl. I came home and ate the bowl and it was awful. The chicken was so so dry, it honestly tasted like they had gotten a leftover piece and threw it in the fryer again to warm it up. I'm so sad because I loved this place so much. But, with such a limited menu (we mainly came because my kids enjoyed the breakfast menu) and the food being so bad now, I don't think I'll be back.

    Haven't you heard Bird is the Word! So if you're a foodie not trying this place would be absurd!…read moreOk so let's get down to business here, I got the Egg and Bird Burger or sandwich and Chicken Strips. I must say the chicken was pretty dang juicy and with that first bite it popped that egg and made it all runny and messy! I was on the constant slurping, sucking and biting with this situation but definitely a fun one. The Chicken Strips were also juicy AF and that Crack Sauce they give you was the game changer! I'm not a sauce person but this was hitting my tastebuds like no other! The service was pretty good and the shop is pretty chill with a lot of traffic with all the to go orders but still a cool little spot to eat at. And that's my take on it, Peace and out.

The issue is customer service, especially near closing time. Without fail, if you arrive even 20 minutes before closing, there is always an excuse. First, you are told it will take 20 minutes. When you reach the window, it becomes 30 minutes. Then you are told they only have grilled chicken available. When you agree to grilled, suddenly grilled takes even longer. It is a predictable pattern. If the kitchen is truly closed or certain items are unavailable, just say so directly. Customers can handle honesty. What is frustrating is the shifting explanations that make it seem like the goal is simply to avoid taking the order. Management should seriously evaluate this.

Los sabores están bien logrados y no tengo quejas sobre la calidad. El lugar también está relativamente limpio. El problema es el servicio al cliente, especialmente cerca de la hora de cierre. Sin excepción, si llegas incluso 20 minutos antes de que cierren, siempre hay una excusa. Primero te dicen que tardará 20 minutos. Cuando llegas a la ventana, ya son 30 minutos. Luego dicen que solo tienen pollo a la parrilla. Cuando aceptas la parrilla, resulta que tarda aún más. Es un patrón muy claro. Si la cocina ya está cerrada o ciertos productos no están disponibles, simplemente díganlo con honestidad. Los clientes pueden entender eso. Lo que resulta frustrante son las explicaciones cambiantes que dan la impresión de que solo quieren evitar tomar la orden. La gerencia debería evaluar seriamente esta situación. Un cliente incógnito probablemente confirmaría la misma experiencia.
