50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Oak Lawn

“I was way too excited about my food that I didn’t even realize I didn’t get the extra pickles on my order. 🥲😩 I was half way through before I gave it a thought. I guess you can say it is THAT good 🤣“

“Nothing better than going in the men's room to wash your hands, wax your mustache and exit to the counter with your Caniac Meal waiting for you. Look out!“

“This location ROCKS !!! ILL BE BACK.
The food was ready for me by the time I was done paying for it. The other stores tell its going to be 10 to 15 min for my #17.
I asked the 2 people working front counter. Who was the manager. They both were. Great lady and man very pleasant professional“

“I have to be honest before they have been good but I made a 2 good 2 go order and by the time I got there they were closed completely. I got off work and thatcwas my dinner now no dinner and a waste of gas out of my way. Again I'm not crapping on them because I understand wanting to go home when they are technically off the clock just sad I missed my dinner. The ppl there have always been professional, respectful 🙏 and always nice so this I no slight against the amazing staff“

“I’ve loved this place since the day I started ordering it! I order this almost every week or every other week when I’m at work in the evening. It’s always delivered fresh and warm and the chicken is amazing the seasonings are fantastic! And the names of the items to order are hilarious also the humor in me makes me laugh at them!“

“our friend/landlord brought us to you all and it was so good and fresh and juicy and it was the best food I've ever had in a long time! I really recommend this place!!“

“My teenage daughter had been wanting to try Dave’s Hot Chicken for a while, so I finally took her, her friend, my son, and his friend.

I was pleasantly surprised! The chicken was well-seasoned, flavorful, and the quality was very good—comparable to Chick-fil-A in quality, but with its own unique taste. The chicken sandwich had a generous portion, with plenty of chicken extending beyond the bun.

The standard sauces were good, especially the mayo-based sauce. We also tried the Hot Honey sauce. It had great flavor, but it wasn’t very spicy. If you like heat, you’ll probably need something spicier. Just keep in mind that some specialty sauces come with an additional charge.

The restaurant was fairly clean, had a steady flow of customers, and the service was good.

The only downside for me was the price. The food was tasty, but I felt it was a bit overpriced, which is why I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars. Overall, it was a good experience, and I wouldn’t mind going back.“

“Good portions, delicious food and cozy environment“

“I love my black own business, doing such a great job, taking care of their customers. And catering service is great five ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ restaurant loved and recommended anyone from Chicago and out of towners to come.“

“So bomb! Love the chicken. Love the rice. Love the beans. Love the food. Just love love love. I can only speak to the grilled chicken though. They do have other menu items which I'm sure is just as tasty.“

“Ordered a truffle burger w provolone and added pickles, askrf for the truffle sauce on the side w fries 🍟 The burger was delicious and the fries are perfectly seasoned and the perfect cut. Definitely recommending this place to my family!“

“You truly can never go wrong with Fry the Coop. I always go with the medium spice tender plate with the signature Coop Sauce and it's nothing but delicious. I always mention this place to people I know, but they've never heard of it! I think Fry the Coop deserves more recognition because they truly take care of their customers.“

“My mom and I just stopped by here to eat cause we had nothing to eat this morning. The girls by the drive through are very kind and helpful! The food was very fast too as soon as we pulled up! When we started eating the food was just right! Not too salty! Juicy! And it is FRESH like they just bought it from the store! I am in love with the place!“

“friendly staff and good food. no waiting.“

“The catfish was fresh, hot, cooked to perfection and delicious, great customer service!! 😋 I will be returning.👍🏽
The 5 star reviews drew me to this location. I had to drive a distance, but it was worth the trip. all other shark locations near me are horrible (2 to be exact)“

“Food was great ,people were informative and friendly“

“Great people. Great food. So far so good. I’ll definitely be back. The cook has good customer service skills and he seems to really care for people and his work. Everything in the kitchen area that you could see looks clean. Even the deep fryers are well kept. The perch was fried to perfection. Crunchy and still moist just how I like it. Fries were fried to perfection as well. Can’t make this stuff up. Thank you!!“

“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.“

“Very good chicken! Q pollo rico !“

“Grabbed this to go on a whim and really enjoyed what I had. Ordered medium and it was a good spice level, but if you are sensative to spice, I would opt for the mild as it was hotter than I expected. Their portions are great for the price too. Was worried when I saw waffel fries because you usually only get a handful, but their bag was loaded. Will be coming back for sure.“

“Considering how busy the place is can't complain on the quality food tastes good and they even bring you the food. The only real complaint is that you have to ask for the sauces but I would imagine that's a mixed issue with cheapness / customer fault as well from people taking too much 🤷“

“I pass by this place every weekend and I stopped by for the first time today and wow the food was amazing the chicken was perfect ! The mash potatoes were great and the mac and cheese was on point !!! I received my food really fast as well! I will be returning !!! Give this place a try !“

“I had an awesome experience here! The people were super friendly, the food was great, the best Mexican food in the area. I would definitely recommend to family and friends or anyone in general. It's a lovely experience, and i do want to add that the decorations are beautiful. Really makes you feel safe and comfortable as you're enjoying your meal with some nice coffee.“

“Calab is awesome and very friendly. The food is way better in the morning and afternoon then evening. I wont go here for dinner. Many times items are made wrong if you change anything on them and the portion size is not consistent for the waffle fries.“

“Probamos el pollo a la brasa y estaba espectacular, jugoso y lleno de sabor. Además, el café de olla es simplemente exquisito, el mejor que he probado en mucho tiempo. El dueño es increíblemente servicial, siempre con una sonrisa y una actitud que te hace sentir como en casa. Definitivamente, un lugar al que volveré una y otra vez. Súper recomendado.“

“Love this place - the chicken is always good. BUT if I order wings and ask for “mild sauce on the side” I only want mild sauce. I ordered 8 wings with mild sauce on the side and got 1 cup of mild sauce and 1 cup of hot sauce - I never asked for hot sauce so now I have 8 wings with 1 cup of sauce.“

“Muy rica la comida excelente servicio ! muy limpio, felicidades“

“After wirk i was in the mood for chicken. Forget the kentucky. As a southsider i had to hit up harolds but the pullman joint seemed too far so i checked this one out. Not dissapointed. The mild did seem a little sweet but those 6 wings bathed in sauce were a hit. The lady seemed nice; its all about your demeanor and the a1 wings. 👌🏿“

“I have been to several Byrd’s locations and the Orland Square Mall Byrd’s is by far the best I have had yet! Attention to detail is one of the main things I look for and I received exactly what I ordered and didn’t have to haggle for an extra sauce! 10/10 For service and the food!❤️❤️❤️“

“A crew member named Sofia was very attentive, she came to my table to ask kindly if we needed anything like a refill, napkins or anything else. She had a huge smile while giving us our order. She’s the sweetest, please don’t be mean to her.🩵“

“Yo, I ain’t have the most faith when walking in around closing time but yall turned it around and made me a repeat customer. I got my food mad quick and they even threw in a free biscuit. Good vibes frfr and then they even let one of the homies from the block clean the outside. Respect. I’ll be back with my big back ahh.“

“not sure but seems like they sold to someone else. service sucked Bought a 4 piece chicken wing get one free meal and 2 chicken breast meal and 2 pops. 40 dollars. The coleslaw tasted spoiled. never again..“

“the best thing about this place is the service the food and prices It's so affordable I've been coming here now for my quick meal I literally can't ask for anything more the guy that works, let me tell you he works lol The food is so good i always come here for my special two pizza puffs, mozzarella sticks and fries always the same price 13 dollars i swear anywhere else and you would be paying 10 dollars for each pizza puff. definitely recommend!!!!“

“I used to eat from years ago, and I stop by today. food is still 🔥🔥🔥“

“Really cool spot I like it better than Harolds chicken. There was a woman in there that was really helpful and kind. I ask for her name I believe she told me Monique. Thank you!! For all your help. A lot of times we talk about the bad and never talk about the good.“

“Eat there whenever I'm in town!!! Food is always fresh, hot and delicious!!!! Friendly staff.“

“The older cashier who works in the mornings is outstanding!! She is exactly what this location needs! She is professional and kind to her customers!! The food has been consistently good but she is the face behind this location and one of the reasons I frequent this location. Kudos to her!“

“We ordered 75 pieces of chicken for a holiday event. Priced great! We had nothing but complements all night on how good the chicken was! Delivered on time with a smile. Highly recommend them for your catering needs or just for a great meal!!!“

“Harold’s is always the first place i go when i land in the Chi. This past week was no different. My best friend picked me up from the airport and already knew what it was, lol. This particular Harold’s was recommended. I stopped in around 8:30 or so and i gave my spill abt how it’s a tradition each time i come Chicago, Harold’s it’s always the first stop. The lady at the register took my order and asked where i was visiting from. I got wings and a pizza puff with mild and hot sauce, salt/pepper, and ketchup. She recommended i add Lemon Pepper, i obliged. After abt 10 minutes, i got my fresh food with a free bottle of mild sauce. Once i made it to the crib the food was gone in abt 7 mins. Food and customer service 10 out of 10 would highly recommend… I’ll definitely be back.“

“me encanta, muy rico pollo y su servicio al cliente es muy bueno, y sobre todo muy buen precio. lo recomiendo, vengan y visiten pollo KFC. Está riquísimo! 😋👌“

“I don't know who was cooking yesterday but they need to be in the kitchen at all times! The fried chicken was perfect, the mozzarella sticks were perfect, My wife ordered the chicken Philly and let me try it, and I have never had a Chicken Philly that tasted so good in my life! I will be going back today!“

“My mom and I visited this Popeyes to grab something to eat. We were in the neighborhood for a CPR Class. We got the Darin Dab Ghost wings. I think that is what they are called. Anyway, when I tell you them wings were good, they were good. First the customer service was great. And the wings were hot and fresh, nicely seasoned and crunchy!!!!! Will definitely stop in again when in the neighborhood. Just wanted to make sure you all knew that. Great customer service and food! We visited on a Saturday.“

“Shark’s Fish & Chicken is a fantastic spot for comfort food! I tried the fried catfish and it was crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, while the fries were golden and well-seasoned. The portions are generous, making it a great value for the price. The staff were friendly“
