50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Riverside

“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 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 had an awesome experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken thanks to Dominick! From the moment I walked in, he was friendly, welcoming, and clearly cared about making sure every customer had a great visit. He helped me pick the perfect spice level and made sure my order came out just right. The food was amazing as always, but Dominick’s positive attitude and great customer service really stood out.“

“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!“

“Definitely lived up to the hype.“

“Chicken is very delicious“

“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!!“

“The food this past Friday was amazing. The potato and the lobster could have been warmer but still excellent. Our server, Juanita, went above and beyond to serve all the tables in her section as well as stopping by to check that everyone was taken care of.“

“Cluck’N Wings is a fantastic spot to satisfy those chicken cravings! I had “The Box” (fried chicken sandwich, chicken tender, and fries) with Maple Gold sauce and it was insanely delicious…perfect blend of a slightly sweet chicken’n’waffles vibe. It was so much food you best be hungry. The chicken tenders are a full chicken breast and were huge compared to other chicken spots. The owner made my food and we got to chatting. He uses all fresh ingredients, homemade sauces, and is culinary trained. Super nice guy and I’ll be supporting this local business again. Cheers!“

“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 🤣“

“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!“

“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 stumbled upon this place by accident and I’m glad I did. The food is the *Byrd Bomb*
I would’ve never thought to put pickles and cole slaw on top of chicken and fries but it works.
My only gripe with the Oak Lawn location, in particular, is the night crew! I have to check my food before I leave because they keep messing up my order. I got all the way home one time and there was no 24k sauce on either order. My bf went in on a Sunday evening around 8pm and was told they weren’t taking any orders, although they were currently preparing an order for someone. The hours state that they close at 9pm so why aren’t you taking orders at 8pm?? Recently I ordered the same thing again, checked before I left and everything looked as it should. However, I get home, and there’s barely any cole slaw on either order. Also, I mentioned no spice on either order. My son mentioned that his was a little spicy and he couldn’t finish it. I noticed mine was spicy as well but could tolerate it. This is ridiculous that my order continues to be incorrect, or you’re turning away business because you don’t want to do your job. Then you try to compensate by giving out free drinks and the order is still incorrect. Not looking to get anyone fired (especially in this economy) but this needs to be looked into.“

“Definitely lived up to the hype.“

“I’ve been wanting to come here since Niall Horan (ex-one direction) said this was his favorite restaurant! Very delicious!“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Brandon provided absolutely amazing customer service! I loved how he smiled and approached me and my family with such a positive and friendly attitude. He made us feel truly welcomed. The Willowbrook Chick-fil-A location is definitely a number one spot for me — we’ll be coming back again for sure!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“lugar amplio y excelente atención ademas de su rica comida con la diversidad de contar co comida mexicana, pollo y pizza“

“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.“

“The chicken tenders were a good size, the breading was yummy and crunchy, and the chicken was juicy. The honey biscuits were good too. We got plenty of food for the price. For three people we got enough for two meals for a total of $50. The people working there were very nice and the food was ready when I got there to pick it up. Easy to order online.“

“Great service was there for a blood drive wished they would have feed the donors“

“We moved back from Texas after 7 years of being away. It's great to have this available here. All three of my kids can unanimously agree to go here. The food is alway fresh and delicious and the service is just as welcoming as it is in Texas.“

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

“Excellent coffee and customer service. It's a fast-food place, but the atmosphere is elevated because the people who work here are all really polite, professional, and friendly. They also look just really put-together and stylish (just an aesthetic thing I noticed). It's also really clean with real flowers on each table, and just very pleasant. I was here in the morning and would definitely come back at this time of day. A bright spot in the Ford City area and in this area of the Southwest Side.“

“The service was fast and friendly The staff was very friendly The store was very clean“

“When visiting nearby friends,we order fish.With ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, this is a better j.j. fish in area(B-). North Ave&Laramie is too expensive (F). Madison & Central food is old, decrepit,dehydrated,constantly refried ,old food- taste like yesterday. Horrible.(F)Their cooks,are going to run them out of business.“

“Had some breaded fish and fries today and it was perfectly cooked, just the right crispness I like. Thank you for the delicious food!!!“

“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.“

“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.“
