Chicken Shops near Evanston, IL

“Chicken was on point! Had the Chili buffalo chicken sandwich and Nashville hot wings. Definitely recommend“

“Got the green onion chicken tenders. They were delicious. Also got the smashed pear drink. It was also great“

“Better than the one by the Wilson Red Line (even tho I like that one). But the Evanston one is so much better! The cookers take their time to cook the chicken!“

“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!!!“

“Fry the Coop didn’t disappoint. Christy’s customer service was amazing. We drove 4 hours for this experience❤️🔥👌🏻“

“I had an outstanding experience with Day’s Hot Chicken in Chicago. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top notch. We ordered through DoorDash, and when we called the restaurant, they were incredibly generous. Since we loved the food so much, they went above and beyond by adding extra items like mac and cheese and additional fries. It was a thoughtful gesture that truly enhanced the experience. I highly recommend Day’s Hot Chicken for anyone craving delicious food and exceptional service.“

“Great atomosphere cool concept like how they call out the alcohol and food orders when Ready. The pimento Mac was great flavor, as was the mashed and gravy. Very unique to have boneless breast thighs wing and leg portions battered and fried. Was very good. I just think the sauces were way to pricey at $1.45 a sauce wow even 99 cents seems a lot but would feel better lol. At least give one with the order or reduce the sauce price. But overall they need to spread this concept into more areas for sure out side like in the suburbs“

“I tried the original fried chicken and the spicy garlic chicken—both were enjoyable, though the latter was slightly too sweet for my taste. The store could benefit from better cleanliness. That said, food was served promptly, and the prices were reasonable. I’ll likely return, but only for takeout.“

“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“

“We tried Byrd’s Hot Chicken in Skokie and it was absolutely worth it! We ordered the Byrd Bomb (crispy tenders with cheese, slaw, 24 karat sauce, pickles on bread and hot toast) and it was packed with flavor. The hot chicken sandwich was juicy and had the perfect kick, while the crispy Byrd wrap was a great twist with amazing crunch. We also got a full order of wings, and they were cooked perfectly—crispy on the outside and tender inside.
The drinks selection is solid (Pepsi products) and paired perfectly with the heat. Service was great, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the place had plenty of space with lots of parking available.
If you’re looking for delicious hot halal chicken with great portions and excellent service, this is the spot. Definitely coming back! Also they are on uber eats and open super late“

“Delicioso! Me encanta 🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Good 10/10. AMAZING 🤩 🤩🤩🤩“

“We came from Wisconsin to ouck up food from this joint!!! the food is STRAIGHT!!! DELICIOUS!!! Henry was very hospitable and a great person!!! thank you Henry for the great food!!! It was worth the 2 hour drive!!! we will be back!!!“

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

“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 🌎 🌍“

“It’s very tasteful and packed with flavor. The bowl of noodles looks very colorful and the essence of aroma smells really good. The broth tastes rich simmered perfectly, with layers of yummy spices, and slow-cooked amazing melt-in-your-mouth tender beef. For sure, a must try. A top 30 chicago food item!!“

“Grilled chicken happens daily. The salsa you get with it is freshly made and it's very tasty. It can vary based on who makes it for the day or week. I will say get extra pita bread because I always have left overs when getting half a chicken. Also very affordable“

“I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, and I couldn't get enough of it. I highly recommend trying the spicy chicken—it’s packed with flavor and just the right amount of heat. Definitely a must-try for anyone who loves bold, tasty dishes. Will be coming back for sure!“

“love hello jasmine! we’ve been coming here consistently since august and really appreciate the atmosphere since it’s so pretty and calm. also, the drinks are sooo good with so many flavors to choose from! this drink is the passion fruit and i love it sm!“

“I think this might be my first review ever, and if it isn't then it's the only one I remember making the effort to do...

I visited Chicago for about a week and tried plenty of restaurants in that time - from carts to michelin starred. I have to say that in my entire stay, the Art of Chicken takes the prize for my favorite meal.

They absolutely killed the pulled chicken sandwich and Mac n cheese (be sure to add their sauce to it)!!

While I was the only guest at the time, Mr. Christian behind the register made the effort to strike up convo and ensure that the hospitality was the icing on the cake.

I can't wait to visit again 🍻“

“The Marysville Taco Pros is always a great experience. We eat there weekly and we have never had a bad experience. It's the highlight of our week. Food is fresh, not loaded with salt, and the tortilla shells are delicious. Definitely a great addition to Marysville!“

“Fry the Coop didn’t disappoint. Christy’s customer service was amazing. We drove 4 hours for this experience❤️🔥👌🏻“

“First time visit and they're already a fav! I had the sunrise biscuit sandwich and it was phenomenal! The biscuit was moist and the spicy chicken was a perfect heat level! Sebastian was a delight! He helped us pick the flavors and ended up stirrups is with an order of the Dirty Bird to share..Mac, fries, chicken, pepper and sauce HEAVEN! The Strawberry Palmer tea needs to be in stores! We even took food home!“

“Delicious huge chicken sandwich!“

“A true unknown gem of Chicago, this place makes hand down the best fried chicken—you would never guess. The staff is always friendly and the service is always fast, even though they fresh fry each order. Do yourself a favor and try it once and you’ll never visit the McDonald’s right across the street again.“

“This is one of my favorite Nandos locations in Chicago. The food is always delicious and fresh. The employee Jaime is very warm and he always goes out of his way to satisfy every customer!! I look forward to his outstanding hospitality in every visit.

Highly recommend.“

“The food was great, but it is a little pricey. The restaurant is difficult to find since its inside a building and the seating area is inviting but very small. Regardless none of that would deter me from having a nice lunch there with some delightful kosher food!“

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

“Absolutely phenomenal south Indian food. We came in to dine in but had to get it to-go due to an emergency. The staff was super accommodating and the Veg Thali (sampler platter) was absolutely divine. My friends got the Mutton Thali and Chicken Thali and said it is some of the best food they've had in Chicago. Spice level is definitely on the hotter side of restaurants I've been to but that made for a great meal. Incredibly affordable too. At ~$15 per person and plenty of tasty leftovers that keep well, I'll definitely be making a point to return soon.“

“It's delicious too. I like this place because it tastes like an old neighborhood chicken house. Seasoned Boneless is so delicious. I like to mix it with rice. The jjajangmyeon restaurant next door is also delicious, there is jjamjjamyeon.“

“If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would! The fried chicken here is absolutely phenomenal—crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, with seasoning that hits all the right notes. You can tell it’s made fresh, and the flavor is perfectly balanced without being too greasy.

The sides are just as impressive—[mention a side like “the mac and cheese is creamy and comforting” or “the coleslaw is fresh and tangy”], making every bite feel like home. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality.

The staff here are friendly, attentive, and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting—perfect for a casual meal with friends, family, or even by yourself when you’re craving something delicious.

I’ve had fried chicken from plenty of places, but this spot easily ranks at the top. Highly recommend to anyone who loves comfort food done right!“

“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!“

“This restaurant is in a stripe mall near the laundry. I wanted to get some food while I waited for my clothes to finish in the washer, but I took it to go. I walked into the establishment, met with a clean restaurant and a extremely nice cashier. I told the cashier that I wanted authentic food as some of the menu items appeared to be American food. He told his time to educate me about the menu and make recommends. I settled on the combination bowl with gryo, chicken, rice, and vegetables. The meal included pita bread. The food took about 10 minutes to prepare and during this time. I enjoyed talking with the cashier to learn about other meal options to choose from on my next visit. He gave me a card with a QR code to receive 10% off within the next seven days for either pick up or delivery. I thought the entire experience was super dope! I feel so comfortable and welcomed. Next, I opened my bag to find a well portion size meal and met with the most delicious 😋 smells from the chicken and gyro meat. I dig into my plate and met with flavor! The food was not overpowering! The rice was good, a little dry, but if you add the white sauce makes it even better. The pita bread was butter and came apart so nicely! I was given a chocolate 🍫 chip cookie to go. I appreciate the personal touch. The whole meal was so good. I would gladly come back to them. Thank you for your hospitality and delicious food.“

“Their chicken is super excellent really light and fluffy. Their menu is exceptionally limited however there’s literally only a handful of things, chicken fingers and chicken sandwich sandwiches, and only one option of a sauce. The sauce is really good, but they should have another option like maybe honey mustard there sauce taste a little bit like thousand island dressing or maybe Russian dressing. The business is exceptionally popular with young people because the business is really good at social media marketing. Also, the business seems to be really good at getting popular sports figures to be in their commercial which does help them a lot. The indoor atmosphere is a little bit quirky, a little bit cool and I like it. Their fries are adequate nothing special to say the least if they could, if I would recommend they improve anything to go further they definitely need to improve their fries but again their check-in to fingers is five stars. I don’t know how many times a year I could eat year because the menu is so very very limited.“

“Everything was sweet, except it would have been cool to have a fork for the salad. Otherwise, just a truly, quality meal. And even though the delivery fellow seemed mildly nonplussed when I spoke English, I could tell he was a really nice guy.“

“Our first visit to Nando’s was a delicious experience! We’re putting this place into our dining rotation!!“

“This is going to be my favorite chicken place from now on. About 4 years ago, I went to south Korea with my family. And ever since then I been looking for chicken place. I tried so many places but this one was amazing. Everyone there were so sweet, and helped me to pick my order with patient. The decoration was so good, I was very surprised. It was just such an amazing place. They have such a big menu, I will be coming back soon.“

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

“(I want the sweet and spicy sauce coated chicken like the one I got back in my country!!!!)
The Korean BBQ sauce is really salty, I had to take a sip every time I took a bite of the chicken bbq. Spaghetti tastes… barbecue-y?? I expected it to feel more of the tomato flavor… On a good note, the chicken meat is so moist and tender with the meats are fully covered in sauce ❤️.
I love Jollibee but maybe the Western version is not for me haha.“

“Chic-fil-A serves delicious, tender chicken, freshly cooked. Their grilled chicken is super moist and has amazing flavor, making for an exceptional grilled chicken sandwich. It hits the spots every time, and they even have a gluten free bun, which is super soft and tasty. I always find myself craving their grilled chicken sandwiches, and I know I can safely eat there with my allergy. They never fail to satisfy the craving.“

“Best waffle fries AND Market Salads with Apple Cider vinegarette dressing are a lovely combo!!! Great service and very well run with a strong management team.“

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

“Today was my first time eating Chick-Fil-A and I enjoyed it! The food was amazing and the fries were insane! I like how they have a small play place for little kids, makes it very child-friendly! And I like the decor along with the motion sensor garbage can 😂“

“Great food excellent service“

“Honestly the team here are all incredible. During 2 very difficult points in my life I happened to go through the drive through of this location and a team member (without knowing) absolutely made my day. Through their kindness and generosity. Thanks for being good people 💛.“

“I got the chicken joy bucket and the kbbq chicken sandwich and both were super good. The chicken was crispy and very juicy, and it came with a side of gravy, which I was super excited for. Spicy chicken was actually spicy which I enjoyed as well. Would recommend people to come and eat.“

“Chicken hands down but they're gyro cheeseburgers is 🔥 too. They kind of fell off on the Italian beefs. They're chicken gizzards and catfish nuggets fried head is a hit too. Yet, they need to understand that everybody don't like lemon pepper. Put it on the side and let one decide if they want it.“

“Absolutely love this location. The staff is wonderful, and even though it's small and busy the staff always makes sure the place is clean. One employee in general is extra helpful and one of the reasons I always come back, Manny. Any place of employment would be honored to have him. He's just the nicest guy.“
