Byrds Hot Chicken Algonquin

The lady at the register was extremely rude, I also asked for no cheese sauce on something (I don’t like cheese but wanted this item) and she gave me the ugliest look like if I were crazy saying she couldn’t do that, was rude giving our order, restaurant didn’t even look open, tables sticky, all of the tvs were on the floor not on, I love birds chicken and have gone to a few locations, this was the worst one yet

Their food has consistently gone down in quality over the last few months.
I live in Mchenry where Byrd’s chicken is one of the handful of halal options available for delivery. I have ordered from them quite a bit in the last few months. The last 2,3 times I ordered, the chicken came over fried and bitter, the bread felt like it had been sitting in the fridge for days and warmed up for my order. The $6.99 fries were soggy, stale and only a handful.
I am so done with your food.

Very expensive and most definitely not worth it !

Our food was ok, quality overtime has gone down. Service was horrible, girl running the front counter was not friendly at all.

I have been here multiple time… Different times of day and always given them the benefit of the doubt. They have very poor customer service. Whenever I have tried to order Mac and cheese they always claim they are out. I have been told this 5 separate times. I think the workers are lazy and don’t want to take the time to make it. The last time I went and asked for Mac and cheese and they claimed they were out ( this was at 11:30 am on a Saturday, mind you the restaurant was dead) I just walked out. Don’t think I’ll be going here again

Absolutely Delicious
10xs better than Dave's Hot chicken and Raising Cane's.
little more pricey tho.

Can't believe they are closed on a Saturday! I was craving this 😭

We ordered the 1lb chicken wings, hot, with mango habanero and ranch dipping sauce. The wings were perfectly cooked, crispy and moist. It had a light flour batter which gave it a nice texture. The fries were seasoned perfectly and also cooked well, was not soggy. I recommend trying this place out!

Super moist and tender chicken. The batter was very crispy. If you like spicy seasoning, this is a great place.

Byrd’s Hot Chicken was amazing! The wings and tenders were super fresh, juicy, and perfectly crispy—you can really taste the quality. The sandwich was packed with flavor and heat, and the fries were golden and seasoned just right. On top of all that, the staff was so sweet and welcoming—great vibes all around. Everything hit the spot. Can’t wait to come back!

Stopped in for the 1st time. I ordered 2 tender meal with fries and potato salad. Everything was delicious and full of flavor. I ordered the medium heat level and it was so crispy, juicy, and tender and just enough heat for me. Fries were seasoned and crispy. The potato salad was creamy and full of flavor, the sauce was super delicious! Staff was friendly and wait time was minimal. Way to go Byrds!
I will definitely be back!

Our order was placed, clearly noted pick-up time of 545.

I walked in at 543, and my order had not been started.

It took 20 minutes to get ready, and the fries were still frozen inside when we ate.

The next 3 orders in line behind me were door dashers, who all had the same late pick up story.

IF YOU DRIVE GRUBHUB OR DOOR DASH, DO NOT POCK UP FROM HERE. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANY NEGATIVE RATINGS YOU GET BECAUSE THEY MAKE THE FOOD LATE.

Reference order #23, server A K A, on 6/14/25

Great chicken. Freshly cooked, moist, tender. They need Cole slaw as an option. French fries and potato salad is 2 potato sides. Both are delicious but too much potato.
