    MEDIUM PACK
    Christina D.

    Oh hi, friends. I came to report that over on DoorDash, CityBird is having a BOGO on several of their items. I have been craving chicken tenders with honey mustard and ONLY chicken tenders and honey mustard lol. They always hit the spot just right and getting one for free just made it EVEN better. Their chicken is always so well seasoned but not salty, the fries come with a sprinkle of parmesan and parsley but you can opt out of that if you'd like. I also ordered the city sauce, the lemon thyme ranch and honey dijon. Everything was so well prepared and very tasty. I hate when I have beautiful but dry tenders and this was definitely not that. Oh! I also ordered a side of pickles because you can't have one without the other. My total came to 19.63 before tax and 28.63 after tip! Happy Saturday ! Get out and enjoy this beautiful day! Thank you guys for a delicious meal!

    The food is great! The service is even better!!! Good family owned business. I went in before work once and then another time so only twice total, but I was in a rush, had my uniform on and they gave me great efficient service and a complimentary chicken salad sandwich which was yummy. I highly recommend this place and I will be telling my family and friends about it as well.

    2 things, I wish the fries weren't so salty and the chicken tenders were a tad bit larger.

    Solid fried chicken spot in the West Loop. I ordered takeout online during peak dinner time and it was ready within 10 minutes. When I walked in, the workers didn't seem particularly friendly but just passed me my bag and I was on my way. I noticed the inside was pretty clean and there were plenty of tables open to dine in. Others had posted (and I saw pictures) of the tenders being on the small side so I went with the medium pack, which came with 6 tenders, 1 sauce, and fries (~$15 with tax). 6 tenders sounds like a lot but I would say 2 of these tenders equals 1 tender size most are used to. A little on the pricey side, but I felt like the whole meal was made fresh and tasted like quality ingredients were used. Can't knock them too much about the fries because fries generally don't do well for carry out, but I liked the parm and seasoning. And I really liked the city sauce! Just wish they threw in a drink to complete their pack. Still a very good option for fast casual/fried chicken in the area.

    CityBird was the perfect quick bite after class, and I'm so glad I got to experience it. The Sweet Peach Tea is absolutely to die for! The sandwich was delicious, and even the coleslaw--something I usually wouldn't care for--was surprisingly good (and I'm the type who would've asked to swap it out, like at Cane's, LOL). Overall, CityBird offers great service and a tasty meal all around. If nothing else, just go for that Sweet Peach Tea!

    The quality of the food was fresh. My big gripe is that the breading on the tenders was WAY, WAY TOO SALTY!!! I scraped of as much breading as I could to be able to consume them.

    Been wanting to check out this place for awhile and finally got around to it! I ordered pick up, it was ready within 5 minutes. The chicken strips are small but sooooo delicious. Cooked perfectly and the city sauce was the perfect addition. Kind of like a canes sauce. The fries were a little soggy but I like how they had seasoning and parm. Would get these tenders again!

    Was disappointed by the size of the tenders. The flavor was okay, I'd maybe try again but was not the best or worst meal.

    Prompt, food was very mid, they sent me the wrong sauce, I might try it again just because it's convenient, but I'm not dreaming about it.

    the perfect menu for a person that gets decision fatigue VERY easily…read more i got one honey chicken sandwich - bomb. chicken nuggets - so yummy. truffle fries - will dream of those fries forever. good sauce. great price. lots of food. so much flavor. service was quick and ambiance was your typical hole in the wall grease dripping down the walls the food must be so good kinda joint. so you know the food is rockin!!!

    Important Note: With Red Light Chicken, one must manage their expectations. If I'm not wrong, they…read moreuse chicken breasts (white meat) rather than thighs (dark meat). The result is meat that is naturally less tender and moist. I was going to ding them until I realized this; thus, it's not a criticism, just the reality of the cut. Their menu is incredibly simple! There are some options available (e.g., sandwich as plain, hot, honey, honey-hot). They also have fries, nuggets, and cans of soda. This simplicity means they're able to specialize very well and make deliciousness! I ordered a sandwich, honey-hot, with the standard mayo and pickles. The chicken was hot and crisp with a thin layer of scrumptious crust. The meat was cooked well, especially given the nature of chicken breast. The honey wasn't overdone and gave a pleasant sweetness. The heat reminded me of Tabasco sauce; while respectable, and the acidity helped add a new flavor dimension, the heat was minimal for my palate. It would be nice if Red Light offered an extra-hot option. The pickles and mayo were in perfect amounts, and the bread was a fresh brioche. Bonus points for the sando not falling apart on me, as happens with places that stuff massive, lopsided thighs to look pretty on Instagram. The service was lightning quick! I had the sandwich in hand less than a minute after ordering. Staff were friendly, welcoming, and polite also. The value is great! In a world where everything costs an arm and a leg, $8 for a reasonably sized chicken sandwich is more than reasonable. Finally, there is no indoor seating whatsoever. There are, however, ample standing-room tables around, with one having overhead heaters. Thus, while not necessarily a destination, Red Light Chicken is a phenomenal neighborhood chicken shop!

    Wow. We were blown away with how great this place was!…read more It seems like a good portion of their business is to-go, but we dined in recently and would happily go again. The portions are large (my burrito was giant!), the prices are competitive enough, the food is delicious, and the employees were all very nice. The space was very bright and clean. When you eat in, you're given chips and salsas for the table to start, which was a nice touch. Our meals (the aforementioned burrito and my husband's half chicken combo meal) took about 15 minutes to come out as everything is made to order. The chicken combo meal came with two sides (he went with the Mexican rice and beans), and also arrived with some grilled spring onions, a roasted jalapeño, and a full pack of locally made corn tortillas. Thankfully, it's 'help yourself' to-go containers because we definitely both ended up with leftovers. Afterwards, we were meeting up with some friends and immediately started recommending they check this spot out since they live nearby. We already can't wait to go again sometime soon!

    Pollo Express is a family owned Latin American and Mexican restaurant that has been on my list for…read moreyears. It is known for its adobo-marinated grilled chicken. Immediately upon entering you can smell the chicken blended with Mexican spices. There is an open grill along the back wall with spatchcocked chickens laid out flat . We were greeted and seated and served chips with three varieties of salsa. I had the half chicken with two sides and my husband had the steak burrito. The chicken was excellent. It was so flavorful. The spices were blended so well and the chicken was tender and juicy. The burrito was massive stuffed with tender steak. The food was tasty and delicious. I definately will be back. Cash only is accepted.
