Chicken Shops in Chicago, IL

“Being from the suburbs traveling downtown can be an experience. This particular experience made our day. Moving our daughter into DePaul we came upon the owner of Red Light chicken who gave us a few pointers in parking near his establishment, after taking the time to help us find a spot he happily welcomed us with a free chicken sandwich which I’m happy to report was delicious. It was nice meeting you tonight and I’ll be certainly stopping by again - Fries are a game changer to!!!“

“love this place! i order from here at least once a week!“

“what a great restaurant. the food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. it was a great way to end our day in Chicago“

“I've been wanting pancakes for the past month and finally went for some this morning. The pancakes were PHENOMENAL! My pancake jonesing was fulfilled by a more delicious pancake than I imagined was possible. They were huge and I could only eat one 🤤 The other reheated perfectly in the microwave - the texture was interior, but the taste was still fantastic. I've been before, but got other things. At this point, I can confidently recommend the breakfast sandwich, beignets, and pancakes. Oh, and get yourself an orange pop for breakfast... Be bad, treat yourself!“

“We were looking for a late night bite to eat while visiting Chicago and Serena’s was the spot! Service was friendly and food was delicious! Highly recommend. Will definitely be back for our next visit.“

“Chicken is very delicious“

“The food taste good and the service was great.“

“Definitely lived up to the hype.“

“The food was excellent! The fried green tomatoes are fantastic, as was everything else! Gabby greeted us beautifully, & Eliza was an amazing server! Thank you so much for a lovely lunch :-)“

“Captain Hook’s Fish & Chicken is so good and always hits the spot. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and just flat-out better than anywhere else. They’re always open when I need them, and the taste is consistently amazing every time. I literally drive 30 minutes just to come here, and that should tell you everything. I have a Sharks Fish & Chicken near my house and it does not compare at all. Captain Hook’s is on a whole different level.“

“Love it all was worth the drive 💗“

“Came here for some late night munchies with my friends, I have nothing but genuinely great things to say about this location. I enjoy Daves as a whole chain; however, this particular location takes the cake. Absolutely phenomenal accomodation by the staff, even when it's booming with people and busy. Despite all the orders the staff were slammed with, they still were able to give special, attentive care and respect to every customer. I even learned some of the employees names, and they really stuck with me. Elijah, the cashier, despite the business, accomodated to my needs with absolute care. The general manager (forgive my spelling if misspelled), Fritz, really made an impact on me. His fun and bubbly personality, willing to reach out and ask how his customers were doing, showed me how: even when this specific Daves location's team and workers are slammed with orders and busy, they still do an exceptional job with hospitality and care for customers, and that's not easy and I admire that. Another staff, Ciara, stood out to me due to her fun personality. It speaks volumes to me that I got to meet and remember the names of these workers! 🩷 This location truly made my night I love you Daves! 🐥🐔❤“

“So came across this place on my walk and love boba tea so I stopped in. I got the chicken sandwich and fries for a great deal ($8) and I must say I’m very impressed. The sandwich taste fresh, I got less spicy spice level and the chicken is nice and juicy. The sandwich has some really good flavor. Not hard at all which I love cause I hate getting sandwiches with hard chicken. I paired with a spicy mayo.

Just earned a new customer. Love the indoor seating as well and they got free wifi!

Thank you!“

“I just wanna say their bento boxes are sooo good. Like whoever making them back there putting their all into it cause it’s so good and perfect. They are also well accommodating to request. Everything taste so fresh. Staff is also really nice and attentive!!!“

“Best chicken sandwich I ever had! The chicken soup was also amazing!“

“We’ve been here a few times and every time the food is awesome. Super easy and healthy dinner option when don’t want to cook. We love the whole jefe chicken and order with broccoli, Mac and cheese, and fries (the seasoning for the fries is awesome). Service is great and the music they play is always top tier. Love this spot“

“Definitely lived up to the hype.“

“I finally tried CM after years of walking by it and it was fantastic. I walked in and ordered the Curry Chicken to go. Took about 10 minutes and I sat down at the bar for a beer while I waited. Service was great and will definitely be going back.“

“Ordered Chicken Thigh Skewers and had a coupon for additional menu item free. Chose 12 wings. Got home opened bag and had 18 wings, no skewers.“

“Hands down punching the family and not just smacking your mama good chicken tenders that are juicy. Second, highly recommend the fantastic crinkle fries and Texas butter toast. Lastly, the sauces are out of this world 🌎 🌍“

“Best hot chicken in Chicago“

“This is one of the best chicken sandwiches you can get in Chicago. The biscuits are exceptional. The service there is fantastic! I only have one issue and it's that have they never have the biscuit batter because it's always sold out. 🤷🏾‍♂. The price on the drinks are also incredibly reasonable for a Roscoe village restaurant. Definitely recommend!“

“Excellent food! Excellent service! DON’T MISS THIS PLACE WHEN YOU’RE IN CHICAGO!“

“The chicken bowls are amazing and a good value. Most of our party were able to take leftovers for the next day. The sauce choices are incredibly flavorful, you can't go wrong. Personally I liked the mild spice, lemon pepper chicken thighs. The server was very helpful and courteous. Overall, a great choice for a meal while in Chicago.“

“Delicioso! Me encanta 🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Sweet & Spicy Chicken Wrap, with mango & Lime sauce. Side order of Honey Sweet Potatoes.“

“A casual Korean fried chicken spot known for crispy, flavorful wings with a variety of sauces. The food is fresh and popular for takeout or quick dining. Very convenient, located near a train station—especially helpful for those without a car. We especially like the galbi boneless chicken and cheesy fries.“

“Rib Tips are 🔥. Owners were pretty cool. I’ll definitely go back. 10/10“

“Good customer service and good food.“

“My family and I have been going there for about 40 years now!!! The best and freshest fried to order!!!!!!“

“the lady at the counter was very nice! we ordered an 8 piece tender meal with three sauces and two drinks, paid $21 ! chicken is so fresh and delicious i love the soft but crispy breading. the fries were a little cold but i still love a shoestring fry. both the BBQ and the ranch was delicious a great way to add to the tender“

“Fast service and very professional“

“I stopped by Byrd’s Hot Chicken and it definitely delivers on the heat. The space is casual and no-frills, the kind of place you go when you’re craving something bold and messy in the best way.

The Nashville-style hot chicken sandwich was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The spice level actually means something here — even the medium has a solid kick, but it’s balanced with just enough sweetness and tang. The fries were perfectly crispy and held up well next to the saucy chicken.

Service was quick and straightforward, which fits the vibe. Overall, Byrd’s Hot Chicken is a solid go-to when you want comfort food with real heat and big flavor, no fuss, just good spicy chicken done right.“

“Stopped by Hot N' Spicy Chicago on Devon Ave for a late-night bite and was impressed. Grabbed the Chicken Chutney Roll—tender chicken wrapped in a soft paratha with a tangy chutney kick. Also tried the Masala Fries, which were crispy and packed with flavor. The staff was friendly, and the place had a cozy vibe. If you're in the area and craving a flavorful halal meal, this spot is worth checking out. Definitely coming back to try more of their menu.“

“This location is on point each time, I’ve ordered multiple different things and have enjoyed each. Hot, fresh and cooked to order. The customer service is always great, Jasmin’s customer service is always Excellent, informative and patient!!
Win win!“

“Rainbow Bowl with chicken thighs was amazing, very friendly staff. Gotta go for the hot sauce. Larry even picked up the phone after-hours and went out of his way to search when I called looking for my missing charger. Will come again when I'm back in Chicago!“

“good food. nice location.“

“It was our first time trying Raising Canes, it was very good. We enjoyed the combo box; the chicken was delicious and the sides were great! Definitely going back!“

“First time the food was very flavorful and reasonably priced. Waiter was very helpful in explaining foods and dishes to try.“

“One of the best South African restaurants“

“My first experience, my husband came home and gave me a piece, and we both came back that same day. The food was even better—saucy, crunchy, fresh chicken and fries, very reasonable. Keep up the good work! Harold's is definitely beaten.“
