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

I have been craving chicken tenders with honey mustard and ONLY chicken tenders and honey mustard lol. They always hit the spot just right and getting one for free just made it EVEN better. Their chicken is always so well seasoned but not salty, the fries come with a sprinkle of parmesan and parsley but you can opt out of that if you'd like. I also ordered the city sauce, the lemon thyme ranch and honey dijon. Everything was so well prepared and very tasty. I hate when I have beautiful but dry tenders and this was definitely not that. Oh! I also ordered a side of pickles because you can't have one without the other. My total came to 19.63 before tax and 28.63 after tip! Happy Saturday ! Get out and enjoy this beautiful day! Thank you guys for a delicious meal!

Metro Wings is still rather new, so I am willing to cut them a little slack. Though the sandwich…read morewasn't perfect, they have a good thing going! I especially love that you can choose from a wide variety of different sauces! I went for a fried chicken sandwich with the Miami Jerk sauce. In terms of the good: the sauce was tasty, and the piece of chicken was nice and large! The picture is deceptive! Rotate 90° and you see how glorious this thing is. I also appreciate that service was fast, and the sando was fresh from the fryer, and not from under a lamp! However, the execution was decidedly less glorious. First, it'd spent a little too long in the fryer - it is what I would describe as "extra extra crispy." While chicken thighs are harder to overcook, the extra time in the fryer did take some moisture and tenderness away. Second, the breading was over notably over salted. Too much crispness and salt overpowered anything else going on, and thus neither the sauce nor the veggies were able to make a substantial impact. Dialing in salt and cooking time are rather easy fixes to make. Because slack was cut, I am willing to bump up my review from what would've been a three to a four. One last thing: almost $4 for a regular can of Dr. Pepper?! A bit high, no?

Speaking of said area I can't think of another wing anywhere near here than can honestly compete. I'm definitely going to try other menu items. I was reluctant to order more or spend more because you never know with new & especially food hall places. They were fried hard exactly how Chicago likes them but five wings isn't enough for the smallest of appetites.

My meal here was surprisingly tasty for a chain BBQ place…read more The lunch special was great. $12.99 for a pulled pork sandwich, side, and drink. That is essentially unbeatable downtown. The pork was juicy and the KC style bbq sauce was good (other options were Chicago, Memphis, Carolina(?)). The mac and cheese was really tasty, I found myself scraping the bowl for more. It had a really nice crust on top. The service was quick and friendly.

I've had the full spectrum of BBQ from mind-blowingly incredible to places I send people I don't…read morelike. I am pleased to report that Blackwood BBQ is somewhere between "good" and "very good". It won't knock your socks off, but it is nowhere close to "bad." It's perfect for what it is, that being: a spot for a bite during the lunch hour. On both visits, I ordered the two meat platter, with brisket and sausage. Both were flavorful and savory, with the brisket being balanced in terms of meaty vs fatty (as requested). Now, that said, the prices at Blackwood are on the high side. On the one hand, I know the price of a pound of ground beef is greater than the minimum wage (as of this writing). However, I also can't help but feel the punch to the wallet when two meats and one side, where one of those is brisket, and a soda comes to somewhere between $20-25 (I think it's close to $25, but don't want to misspeak). Half a pound of meat is not a lot, making the wallet punch even worse. Then there comes the service. Most of the folks working here are professional and welcome. There is this one person, though, whose level of gruffness seems a bit high. It wasn't so much a lack of pleasantries for the sake of efficiency as it was annoyance that customers exist? Final verdict: If you're working in the loop, and craving BBQ, Blackwood is a rock-solid spot, but the high prices mean it likely isn't practical for a regular spot. If it's a weekend, there are better options out there.

The burger was cooked perfectly with a little crisp on the edges and tasted wonderful. The fries were also cooked perfectly and not burnt or over cooked (thank goodness). Beer options were decent. I had to pick an alternative option because my first choice was out. It was a cute patio and clean bathroom. I would return to the restaurant again.

On top of that, you're forced to order through an app with barely any options. No flexibility, no effort, no real service. It honestly felt like the staff either didn't care to serve customers or just didn't feel like operating properly. Either way, that's unacceptable--especially for a place that gets recommended. You don't get to build a reputation and then deliver this kind of lazy, unprepared experience. First and last visit. Do better.

Like will def get all of them that next time but the spicy and creole were also both very solid. We got wings and tenders. The tenders were a bit over breaded, I don't think they're breaded in house. But good to have the option in addition to wings. We also got the potatoes which were solid. I arrived a few minutes before our order pickup time and the food was already cold though so that was a bummer. I heated it up in the airfryer at home which def helped the potatoes. Overall would def come back for wings and fries.

Chicken and fish didn't have much seasoning to care for, but luckily I had some "mild" sauce to make it more tolerable.
