Chicken Shops near Skokie, IL

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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’m so glad Dave’s Hot Chicken brought back the Hot mozz bread! It was a real highlight, and it’s great to see them being creative again. I also love that Dave’s isn’t stingy with their special sauce, setting them apart from so many others. I really hope they keep innovating with fun items like corndogs,keep up the great work!“

“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“

“If you're a trucker stuck at one of the many yards waiting for your appointment time, and you don't have to worry about your diabetes or high blood pressure; go ahead and walk on down to Dave's Hot Chicken. If you do have to worry about it just take a walk.

I'll tell you, the fries and the Mac is pretty damn good. I went in when everything was freshly made, almost directly after opening. This was my first time trying it. Wonderful first impression. The slider was damn good too. Fried to perfection.... The young lady that served the orders also had excellent customer service. Y'all keep it up now.“

“This place was SO good. We got Fry N Chicken to go and it was still hot and crispy when we got home. The chicken was super crunchy but juicy inside and actually seasoned really well, not bland at all. You can tell it’s fresh.

The fries were also really good crispy, not greasy, and nicely seasoned. Portions were solid and it definitely felt worth it.

Honestly, it reminded me of Raising Cane’s in Dubai. Not a lot of fried chicken spots around here are actually yummy, but this one really is. We were impressed and will for sure be coming back. 🍗🍟“

“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“

“Awesome food here good service and very friendly staff makes you feel welcomed more than any other fast food place“

“Love it all was worth the drive 💗“

“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!“

“Alright now… let me tell y’all about Dave’s Hot Chicken the way it deserves to be told…

Baby, them chicken sliders? Lord have mercy.
Crispy, juicy, got that sauce drippin’ like it got somewhere important to be, and that little slaw sittin’ on top actin’ like it’s healthy or somethin’. I keep goin’ back like I owe them money.

Now I’m not new to spice, alright? I can handle heat. I looked that Reaper level dead in the eye like, “Do your worst.”
…and it did.

Ate it just fine. No tears. No shame. Felt like a champion.
Few hours later? My stomach said, “Oh, we fightin’ tonight.”
So just know… you might win the battle, but your insides gonna file a complaint later.

Now let’s talk about this situation they had the nerve to call:
“Large Top-Loaded Spicy Buffalo Mac.”

Let me tell you what I THOUGHT I was gettin’:
A big ol’ tray of creamy mac & cheese, chicken piled on top, cheesy, gooey, worth every penny.

What I GOT was…
a mountain of fries…
with a light dustin’ of mac & cheese like somebody sneezed cheddar in the general direction.

$15.99 for fries in a mac & cheese costume.
I felt lied to. Betrayed. Misled. Hoodwinked, even.

But look… I ain’t gonna stay mad.
Because them sliders? They got me in a toxic relationship I ain’t tryin’ to leave.

And when it comes to catering? Oh they SHOW UP.
Order them boxes for the staff and suddenly everybody actin’ like you Employee of the Year. Morale goes up, complaints go down — it’s basically HR-approved happiness.

Final verdict:
Go for the sliders. Respect the spice.
And don’t let that “top-loaded mac” fool you unless you in the mood for fries wearin’ a disguise.

No stars for atmosphere, i always get it to go.“

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

“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 :-)“

“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“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Muchas Gracias 🙏 a todo el Equipo de Apollo Campero especialmente a sus directivos y asociados muy lindo el cambio de colores y además ya hay salsa de México 🇲🇽 y muy pronto 🔜 prometieron el cambio de sus tortillas para mejorar muchas cosas buenas y su sabor único míl Gracias a su equipo de trabajo de parte de DeliaMar Mega Shop y Floreria DeliaMar les esperamos en Indiana nueva sucursal soon.“

“Best hot chicken in Chicago“

“Love this place. I've been here a few times. The hot chicken sandwich, nachos, and fries are always great. This most recent visit I tried a double smashburger with smash peppers, spicy chopped cheese, and onion rings. The burger was probably the best smashburger I ever had, the beef and bun tasted really fresh, burger patties were crispy and seasoned, and the sauce went really well with it. The chopped cheese was really good, and onion rings were crispy, hot, and seasoned. Highly recommend this place. Everything I've had there is good.“

“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!“

“Definitely lived up to the hype.“

“Wonderful to work with Jay to support BMS girls lacrosse. Donated 40 tacos for pre-game meal!“

“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“

“Edit: I was able to call the restaurant about 9 days later. They opened late the day I ordered online, but the online system did not have the updated hours. I was able to get the refund from the restaurant. (Be aware that the restaurant does not always pick up the phone… might be better to visit them in person if you want to ask them a question.)

Ordered online on Thursday around 4pm. Restaurant was closed, and no one picked up the phone. Same thing today (Friday) at 2:30pm. I will be calling my credit card company to cancel the transaction.“

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

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

“I didn’t dine, but it was decent sized space. The host was very receptive as soon I walked in to pick my order. Very great service from initial experience. The food was delicious especially the fried chicken. The Rose Deokkbokki was really great as well. The Kimchi Fried rice hit the spot for sure. Very genuine Korean tasting food.“

“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.“

“Always a good time at this place“

“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.“

“My daughter and I stopped in Wednesday morning. Alex cheerfully greeted us as soon as we walked in. Chick fil A restaurant are known for their hospitality but Alex and Tammy who took and filled our order went above and beyond duty to make us feel welcome. My daughter was overjoyed at how delicious her vanilla ice coffee tasted and appreciated Tammy's offer to adjust flavor if it was not to her liking. The many small extra touches to our meal made our visit extraordinary! We will be stopping back in anytime we are in the area:)“

“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!“

“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“
