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!!!“

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

“Definitely lived up to the hype.“

“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 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.“

“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“

“Absolute gluttony. We got delivery from Byrd’s and were completely satisfied. The Byrd Bombs were huge and filled to the brim with crispy chicken, fries, a piece of toast, and pickles and drenched in cheesy sauce. Eating this will leave you full for days, but it’s definitely worth it if you’re feeling especially ravenous!“

“Good 10/10. AMAZING 🤩 🤩🤩🤩“

“Delicioso! Me encanta 🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“great spot for quick snack of crispy fried chicken & great sized boba. The chicken has a bit more batter but well seasoned & crunchy. They do order at the counter & touch screen orders. The process was seamless & we enjoyed the meal!“

“I came here initially because I got a sponsored instagram ad claiming that they have “the best grilled chicken in chicago”….a bold claim to make! I came in and tried it expecting nothing special and was absolutely blown away. I’ve been back 50+ times since.
I would recommend dining in if possible- heavily seasoned and marinated chicken hot off the grill with a beautiful char- it simply cannot be beat!“

“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 🌎 🌍“

“A tad obsessed!! My son loves guava smoothie, I love the coffee boba and street food. It’s hard to resist the fryer faves with the cold smoothie. My husband loves the iced tea, which like all the drinks, you can order with varying levels of sugar, or no sugar at all.“

“This place is seriously so good. Finally tried the Caesar salad and it did not disappoint! Good service and love the drink deals — $2 beer $4 cocktails, every day…..And schlitz on draft…….even better! They have trivia on tuesdays at 7 (info I struggled to find online). I wish I lived closer; I would genuinely come here every day if I could! Yum yum yum“

“I have not been here in many many years. I used to frequent chicken hut often. The service is consistent and the staff most importantly is by far the best in energy! The Uniqueness about Chicken hut is the marinated chicken over night and then grilled and juicy. Comes with red twangy salsa. The potato salad and coleslaw is delicious which is extra. It deserves to be much larger. However it works as it is. I may stop there today!“

“Best hot chicken in Chicago“

“Definitely lived up to the hype.“

“Awesome environment and favorite place to get tacos!!!“

“excellent food, especially the brussels and pastrami app. delicious and big portions“

“First time at Nandos and was amazed by the service, first walked in and was treated like family. They took their time letting me know how the menu and chicken was. I have ordered the chicken ceaser salad which lived up to the chefs word- delicious, not too spicy but enough for the flavor give a hint. Will definitely be coming again for the food. Now the atmosphere was excellent- the color theme, the lights and seating are all unique which is hard to find in Chicago. They are all about the culture they serve. 10/10“

“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!“

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

“Great regular and Spicy fried chicken, plus I love that they serve gravy to dip your chicken in“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

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

“I like this location. Great welcoming employees,
Fast turn around and no bs
Food - is ok. Like any other Chick-fil-A . Food is same in every location - at least that is mine experience.
My kids love it .
Thank you“

“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.“

“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 💛.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“I had the lunch special “Hungry Platter” here, and it was served perfectly just the way I wanted. Usman made sure everything was spot on — excellent service! They also offer other great options in their lunch specials, which are definitely worth trying.“

“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.“
