Byrd's Hot Chicken

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

Did takeout and got a hot chicken sandwich with potato salad and a Byrd bomb. Honestly the flavors were good but the chicken was smaller than what I expected. Overall would drop the potato salad and go for Mac and cheese next time and go a level higher (not sure if it is actually hot or if my spice tolerance is good). The Byrd bomb was good but it is evidently mean to be eaten hot. Overall would go again

I just ordered from this place online on Uber eats and I asked for hot wings spicy and also buffalo and I got all 20 pieces barbecue and sweet. I don’t get how you mess up 20 wings and get them all the wrong. It makes no sense and the guy on the phone has the audacity to say the person they train did it wrong if he’s in training why is he doing it wrong? Why is my food having to suffer? It makes no sense how you didn’t make sure that your coworker wasn’t doing the order correct. It’s all doused in barbecue sauce and it’s just sweet and I just don’t like it at all. It’s not what I asked for and it’s just basic wings. Smothered in bbq 4/10. Honestly, find a better place. This is not it.

We ordered a Chick'n Donut and asked for no spicy sauce, but it was very spicy for my son. My son was so hungry, but he couldn't eat it. The donut has spicy sauce, and the additional sauce on the side is also spicy. I showed my receipt, but it said we ordered the plain one, and the employee still refused to make another order.

Great friendly spot for hot chicken in Skokie area. The portion of the rice plate was substantial and delicious, love the value. The sandwich combo could be a little larger for price. However, everything tasted amazing, chicken was juicy and spicy and perfectly cooked.

beautiful! i had an extraordinary time with me and my friends! but for some reason there was flying pickles i dont really know why? its fine because the food tasted better and helped a lot!

Tender Combo - 3.75/5 Mac and Cheese Byrd Bowl - 4/5 Byrd Bomb - 3.5/5 Chocolate cake shake - 3.5/5 Mozzarella sticks - 2/5 It costed 15-20$ per person. Chicken is good and well cooked. We liked the fried too. Make sure you order right spice level🥵.

First (and definitely last) time ordering from this place. I got the chicken sandwich combo with fries and a Coke. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, apparently here they like to throw in a bonus ingredient a long strand of hair for that “chef’s personal touch.” I called immediately. The guy on the phone said, “Come tomorrow, we’ll give you a replacement or a refund.” Cool. Reasonable. Fast forward to the next day: I show up, explain the situation to the man at the counter. He listens and says, “We can’t do anything.” At least he wasn’t rude, just not helpful. Then in swoops the guy with glasses he was kind of old. radiating “I’m the boss” energy. Maybe he’s a manager, maybe the owner, or he thinks he owns this place or maybe just someone who likes yelling at customers in his free time . who knows? What I do know is that he delivered some of the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. No apology, no empathy — just an immediate wall of rudeness. Rude, dismissive, and apparently allergic to both refunds and manners. And then, unbelievably, he started fighting with me verbally raising his voice, talking over me, and acting like I was the problem. He went from “mildly rude” to “full-on yell mode” in record time. It felt less like I was speaking to a restaurant employee and more like I had wandered into a bad reality TV argument. Honestly, I don’t know how he got this job. With customer service like his, it’s no wonder people don’t come back. When I asked his name, he said, “I’m not goin to tell you.” Which, honestly, fits the vibe — why be transparent when you can just be condescending Customer service: below 0/10 Food quality: 0/10 Cleanliness: 0/10 Would I recommend? Only if you’re craving disappointment with a side of disrespect. save yourself the money and the gag reflex.
