I'm slowly making my way around Little Palestine for the best eats. I read from other people on social media that Holy Buckets is the place to be for halal fried chicken. I had halal beef before in burgers and they were very juicy. I was anxious to try halal fried chicken. They are located in a big strip mall. Parking is very spacious. The restaurant itself is medium size, you have a mix of tables and booths. They didn't have the deals we saw online on their in store menu. It was weird. They said we can order online and they will bring the food out to us. We were a group of three. The customer service was phenomenal, everyone was welcoming. Prices were good for how much you receive. We ordered dark chicken (8 pieces), whole wings (10 pieces), mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, and drinks. Palestinians always give a generous amount of food. The dark chicken bucket was a mix of drumsticks and thighs. The thighs were like the size of American chicken breasts. The whole wings were meaty and big. The chicken in general was very succulent and moist. Easily in my top 3 favorite fried chicken places period. I believe the wings came with one biscuit and fries. The biscuit was not dry and honey flavored. The fries were crunchy and seasoned. The mashed potatoes were okay, Popeyes does it better. The mac and cheese tasted different. Different seasonings, it was okay. This is about a 4.5 out of 5. The sides could use some work. read more

Beautiful and catchy design. Take away or dine in Fresh Hot Chicken. NOT fast Food, Hot & Fresh Food. They have a very nice simple sleek designed dine area . Plenty of seating for large groups and can accommodate multiple families. Family friendly restaurant. I ordered the 3 pc tender spicy meal. Came with seasoned shoe string fries . Honey biscuit . Small slaw , and sauces. Very large meal, under $15. Most definitely plenty for 2 people. Their house made special sauce was very tasty. The spicy , I thought was a touch of spice, not too much. AMAZING biscuits. Excellent service. Beautiful clean bathrooms. In the Westfield Shopping Center next to Nile Restaurant, AlBasha Sweets, Rasheed Grocery, Hookah And Smoke Shop. Free open parking in lot for customers. Very delicious homemade ice cream as well. Wonderful family place serving the community well. Good experience, thank you read more

Lots of space, lots of parking, easy to access, and clean! The fried chicken is simply delicious. The rotisserie chicken was a bit of a let down, but everything else was fantastic!!! read more

The food is always fresh never disappointed highly recommend. Food is halal certified

Food was surprisingly better than my expectations. I went late & they were out of the masala chicken pizza but the bbq was decent albeit sitting under a heat lamp. Seems like they had off brand soft drinks & the fries were definitely the negative aspects of this place. Price was on the lower side but I was in the southwest suburbs. I'd return if in the area but it wasn't good enough to make a special trip for especially considering hot chi is closer & its worth mentioning that's it's slightly similar to honey butter fried chicken pizza from piece read more

Amazing tasty chicken... and it's Halal. The flavor is amazing you can tell they cook it in a healthy oil. The taste from the fries and the shrimp and chicken is all different because they cook it with different oils, and they don't fry it in the same place. This is quality food. The food was very hot in temperature which is amazing for me because I love my food hot. The first thing that caught my eye was how clean and presentable it looked. The kitchen looks from the register area very organized not overly crowded. This is what will keep me coming besides the food taste. Prices are great and the customer service is friendly and welcoming. They even have a private area for birthdays or celebrations. They have occasional specials. Thank you I had an amazing experience and def will be coming back. You guys have to come and try in different items I. The menu.... since the whole menu is amazing. read more

Came here on a Sunday during Ramadan and there was a huge line and we were all waiting for 10 minutes or more ..someone from inside came and said they ran out of food!!!! what a disappointment. So just fyi, if anyone is planning to come here for iftar ..be there atleast 2 hours before for your food..otherwise you might be out of luck. I wish they prepared better especially knowing it's Ramadan and they might be busy so maybe have extra staff and extra food ? I gave 3 starts because I have been here before for takeout (before Ramadan) and their fried chicken is always good!! read more

Very solid place if you are looking for fried chicken in the bridgeview area. Their chicken sandwiches and bowls are also surprisingly good. Probably the best option for fried chicken in Bridgeview so far. read more

I seriously love this place so much. I order extra every time I go because it's still insane left over. I am DONE with national chicken chains, staff at every location has been wonderful as well! read more

I was shocked that the place was empty, but I was really happy that I didn't have to wait for service. The place is really neat, and it feels like it is pretty to itself on the strip, given that the service all the other services appear to be for things like Halal and lamb, which is delicious as well. May need to see if I can find a review of one of them and try it out.... but back to this place. You get a very generous helping in the amount of food, and it definitely has flavor. I really enjoyed my honey hot chicken sandwich and fries. The hot sauce is a mango habanero sauce. It is for spice lovers, but it just gives a subtle kick. The people there were very nice and hospitable. They had cheesecake and cookies available too. I had to stop myself, though... I've done enough damage for this visit. I'll definitely be back for another sandwich. read more

When it comes to halal chicken, my go-to place is Holy Buckets in Bridgeview! The food is great, the portions are large, the service is excellent, and the restaurant is clean! My new favorite is the Zinger Bowl! It's filled with yummy mashed potatoes, buttery corn, crispy halal chicken, topped with a spicy sauce. They also offer other bowl options, including the Holy Bowl that comes with fries and hareeka chicken (fiery hot)! I love all the names for their foods, and I definitely recommend Holy Buckets! read more

Holy Buckets Halal Chicken & Pizza - Of 8 pieces I ate 7. It was good - Chicken Shop Near Me - Bridgeview, Illinois

Holy Buckets has amazing and flavorful fried chicken! When this place first opened, it did not have a dine in area. I remember eating in the parking lot and thinking it was the best chicken. Now they have expanded and it's so clean and spacious. We ordered the holy bowl and hot honey chicken sandwich. Everything was flavorful! The chicken was juicy. The sauce has the right amount of kick. Bonus is that they have fountain soda with free refills which you rarely see in a halal joint. Now they need to open closer to the Northwest Suburbs! Service was fast and it seems like they have a party room now too so that would be cool to check out for small parties. read more

Good tasting food, a friendly Muslim environment, family place. Menu savings specials but have to call & ask what is deal for the day?? They serve large orders in foil 1/2 trays which is not recyclable or eco friendly. One problem the wait for food is too long- it is fresh but perhaps they need more fryers & back office staff. Recommend ordering in advance on line!! To avoid 45 minute wait for bucket/ tray of chicken with fries. Food quality good. If wait time better would have given 5 stars read more

This is delicious. If you want fried chicken, forget everywhere else. This is delicious. The sauces are devine. The buttermilk biscuits are fluffy and buttery yummy. The spicy chicken is just the right spice. Delicious food, great friendly service. I wish this place was in northern Virginia! I was visiting my sister who lives in the chicago area. read more

Visiting bi weekly from California so thought to give this halal chicken place a try.... Great Customer Service. A bit chaotic during what seemed to be a dinner rush.. I specifically asked if the 3 pc chicken would have a breadt piece and was told yes... but I got 2 thighs and a leg instead. Not upset too much since they tasted really good. The fries were good and the biscuits were really great. I ordered spicy and I would probably say its more like a medium spicy nonetheless really good tender chicken. I feel that management needs to help out more during rush hours (30 minutes for 3 pc chicken n fries) so to make sure customers orders aren't done wrong as not everyone is as forgiving. And I say this because I witnessed one other customer accidentally take the wrong order. I still gave the establishment 5 stars even tho I didn't get the chicken piece I wanted Plus I waited 30 minutes for a 3 piece chicken a d fries... 10 minutes should be tops.... Nonetheless I gave a 5 star simply because of the customer service and the quality of the food. All around great food just needs a bit more organization but hey still worth the wait till they get there. read more

SO DELICIOUS. SUCH A GREAT AND COMFORTING MEAL. IT WAS LIKE MY FOOD GAVE ME A FAT HUG. I would never eat the bowl I got every day but this treat was such a delight. I am very pleased with my experience here and will most definitely be coming again and getting some of their other menu items (I probably could eat those more often lol). It was fresh, tasty and delicious. Quick service and kind associates. read more

Very clean establishment. I had the six piece fried whole chicken wings which came with fries and a biscuit. Very tasty chicken. Nice customer service. The chicken is cooked to order so expect to wait. Chicken came out hot. My only Criticism would be there's was a little bit too much salt in the batch I had. Scale that back and I'll be back. read more

Best chicken and amazing customer service! The restaurant was very cleans and the booths were very spacious. The chicken was so fresh and crispy, I believe it's made to order and absolutely worth the wait. The mashed potatoes were so fluffy and light, mac n cheese was creamy and well seasoned, fries were crispy and delicious, the biscuits were huge and so fluffy and the honey on top completes it without it being sweet. I tried their Abu Deek sandwich and was blown away by how big and tasty it was. If you haven't been here you need to! By far the best chicken I've had! Forgot to take a picture, too busy enjoying everything. The whole table was silent as we ate, signs of a great meal. read more

Love the fact they have halal pepperoni pizza. I drove few hours to get there and I must say, it was worth it. I had the Gaza strips and pizza. Super delicious, great service, and clean restaurant. read more

We tried the Abu Deek sandwich and 3 piece tenders and fries. The Abu Deek is supposed to have chicken, mac and cheese, and fries in the sandwich itself. The flavor of the sandwich was good but primarily attributed to the sauce. The chicken itself was dry, there were 6 pieces of mac and 4 fries in the sandwich; had to double check they gave me the right order since I couldn't tell there was anything besides chicken. The addition of the mac and cheese and fries was more of gimmick; didn't do much for the taste of the sandwich. They are overpriced for the sandwiches for sure, $12.99 for sandwich only. The 3 piece tenders were dry with hardly any flavor, no sauces included except for ketchup. Fries were fresh and crisp, biscuit was also good. Sauces were extra to buy. Customer service was not the best, the guy taking my order was a little rude. The restaurant itself is clean and has a nice vibe with wall art and neon signs. read more

Terrible customer service. Asked how long for an order and the so called "owner" was very disrespectful and condescending wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone.TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. if the owner acts like that I can't imagine what he's teaching his employees. Wish I could leave 0 stars. read more

My chicken was dry and really didn't have much flavor. I was really hoping it would be amazing. I traveled pretty far for this. It was not worth the trip or hype. read more

Always good food and good service here. I love how they support Palestine. It's a great place to hang out and have lunch at.

Loved the concept of Holy Buckets. Lots of options to choose from. I got the blazing bowl and my favorite part was the zinger sauce. The mashed potatoes in this bowl are a little confusing - maybe because I'm use to having rice at the bottom of the bowl rather than mashed potatoes. Food took 7-8 minutes to be ready. They were very packed as well at the time I went so I was glad the food didn't take long to be ready. Will definitely come here again! read more

It's good place to get some fried chicken. It's a clean food establishment. Friendly staff.

We had dinner at Kabul Kabob. After walking out, I was like, "Holy cow, there's Holy Buckets!" While my wife browsed a clothing store in this strip mall, I took my son into Holy Buckets to check it out. It's a takeout-only place. They have a few seats for waiting, but no tables. It seemed clean enough inside and well-lit. Although I was already stuffed, I couldn't help but order something to take home because I'm not in this area often. I got a Holy Bowl. I tried some after getting home, and it was pretty good. The chicken seemed like good quality, and wasn't really greasy. Aside from fried chicken, the bowl contained fries, mac & cheese, and something like bbq sauce. Not healthy, obviously, but certainly fits the bill if you want some comfort food. read more

The bone in wings are the smallest I've ever seen and overpriced for what you get. Not worth it in my opinion.

Food is delicious but it's not worth it to wait for the burger for 45 minutes and the Services not acceptable very disappointed After 45 minutes waiting I lose my appetite. I asked for my money back they give me the attitude, Waste of time read more

It was our first time here and we ordered the 8 pc chicken bucket with a large side of mac and cheese, fries, and a small side of rice. The mac and cheese is very cheesy and flavorful. Fries were seasoned and crispy. The chickens weren't oily at all and just had the right amount of crunch on them. The establishment itself is clean and organized. We'll definitely be coming back to try other things on the menu! read more

Chile this needs to replace KFC or whatever!! I need this restaurant to be as local as a McDonald's! First off their chicken looks as good as it tastes!! Hun it's seasoned RIGHT, Chile!!! We ordered the Holy Bowl which was definitely blessed!! We also had the Zinger chicken sandwich, popcorn chicken, and Medium Shrimp with fries. Try their milkshakes as well, as they were really good!! We did have a slice of pizza but will definitely be returning to get a whole pie! All in all the food was more than good, it was nurturing!!

Holy Buckets Halal Chicken & Pizza - Holy chicken sandwich with fries! recommended!!! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Bridgeview, Illinois

Food was great! Prices and speed of service? Not so much. We got a bowl and it took over 15 minutes to get it. Not to mention for the crazy price it was a couple fries with a little scoop of Mac and a little chicken drizzled on top. Granted, they tasted great! Just when you're paying that kind of price you really aren't getting your moneys worth. I kept seeing this place on TikTok so their advertising is great, but honestly for those prices I had half a mind to walk out once I saw them. I assumed that the portions would make up for it but unfortunately not. It's a great spot if you're feeling peckish! read more

This restaurant had very pleasant customer service (the cashier was kind and patient with us!) and a chill ambiance. The food was delicious; for context, I ordered the 6 pc boneless buffalo wings. Delicious! I would definitely recommend going to Holy Buckets if you have the time. You won't regret it and you'll leave feeling very happy and full! read more
