Not too shabby of an experience. Worth the try but definitely not the best Chicken Sandwich in Chicago. I definitely should have tried the Spicy Chicken Sandwich though! I plan on coming back in the near future and giving the spicy sandwich a try, for sure. In all honesty, Popeyes Chicken sandwich has more "boom" to it and City Bird sandwich lacks something I couldn't put my tongue on. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my experience and the deal they had going on, for sure worth it all! Vibes were very mid though, nothing out of the ordinary. But buy one get one free, can't ever beat that. Thank you City Bird, I'll be seeing you soon! Personal Review: 6.9/10 read more

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! read more

Terrible customer service. If I could rate it "0" I would. I drove my wife to work, and we put in a pick-up order via UberEats. We went to the store, and they claimed it was already picked up. OK, great, mistakes happen - make another batch, right? They resisted, saying they needed to get in touch with their manager. We did not have time to argue, so we left. After dropping my wife off, I called back to see what recourse there was. The person answering responded only, "The order was already picked up!!", and hung up on me. Unbelievable. Thankfully, UberEats made it right, but there is no happy ending for CityBird here. read more

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. read more

These were some of the juiciest tenders I ever had in my life 10/10 the fries however were good but had some sugar or something on them

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. read more

I ordered the snack meal with chicken tenders on a BOGO sale off under eats. The pictures made the food look really tasty but I was disappointed when my order arrived and the chicken wasn't crispy at all. My fries were very crispy which is what leaves me confused....why don't they fry the chicken til crisp? No one wants soggy chicken tenders. Most likely the last time I eat here. read more

Always a pleasure to eat here. My favorite place. Good is always perfectly made Place is clean Employees always are pleasant and eager to please. Great place Great crew Great food Thanks guys you're awesome read more

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.

Food was good and pricing made it worth it. The only complaint and reason for three stars is because the cashier had a SERIOUS attitude problem. We were tempted to leave had we not drove 20mins to get there. Wish I remembered her name but she was approximately late 20's and an Indian woman. She needs to work on her customer service we were greeted with a mug and a mumbled "what do you want?" read more

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! read more

Citybird is a great spot for chicken tenders! All their sauces are delicious and the tenders have a flavorful coating. After trying all their items, my favorite is surprisingly the salad with 3 tenders on the side! The salad has a ton of different high quality ingredients. I like getting the citybird vinaigrette but lemon thyme ranch is also amazing. The fries are really good and such a great deal for the amount they give. The bathroom is always clean. There's street parking along Halsted that you may have to pay for, except for holidays and Sundays. Definitely an underrated, affordable and delicious restaurant and West Loop. Service is great too, if you dine in they bring the food on nice plates to your table. read more

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. read more

I loved citybird when I tried it the chicken was so good fries even better and I loved the amount of sauces they had!

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! read more

Super yummy chicken strips with the right amount of flavoring. Tender and flavorful and the fries were great too. A little pricey but the fry portions are huge for a combo! Liked the ranch, honey mustard and bbq sauces too. Our friend likes the hot honey as well. Great late evening or night spot, but parallel on street parking might make it a tough spot to grab and go. read more

Always room for another bird shop, nice set up, I like the way this modern store sits along Halsted, cool design, seems practical. I had the Spicy Chicken sandwich, lovely sandwich, a little too spicy for me, will go with the milder CityBird next time. Along with the sandwich the French Fries were also a hit. I would describe the French Fries as unique, nice change, somehow crisp although lightly fried. Some Parmesan involved, which I typically don't care for, but I could not stop eating these French Fries, interesting seasoning! Enjoyed the Lemonade. Excellent value, $12.28, sandwich fries & drink, coming back soon. (FDV Approved 4.5 - Food, 4.2; Design, 4.5; Value, 4.7). read more

The Chicken tenders were some of if not the best ive ever had. The fries were similarly amazing. The service was incredible, and the staff were so nice. read more

the chicken pieces were tiny, dry, rubbery like they were from yesterday and reheated. and tasteless. I could not eat the food and had to throw it out. I am out $30.00 and had no lunch. Never again will I order or recommend this place. read more

Came here because I was walking past it and I was craving fries. The fries were good, nicely seasoned and crispy. It is on the saltier side but I enjoyed them. read more

If you're craving perfectly crisped chicken tenders in between warm fluffy buns, this is the place to go! I got the spicy chicken sandwich, which contains a spicy mayo sauce on the chicken tenders, with a great ratio of crunchy cabbage sandwiched between the buns! Perfect level of heat, and it's so nice to have the amount of cabbage balance out the fried chicken and carbs. I got a side salad (half salad) with the sandwich and wow! They really put a lot of effort into crafting this salad (and salad-making is an art, especially getting the ratios and textures just right). The greens are cut into small segments, and there is a generous serving of nuts and raisins and seeds, which make each bite of this salad full of variety, textures, and flavors. I got it with the vinaigrette which was a nice light dressing. This size is the half size but it was a pretty generous portion! Love that they have a salad option, for those who don't want too many carbs to fill them up. But if you do want all the delicious carbs, their fries are so delicious as well so you can't go wrong! Staff are so friendly and attentive! Space is clean and neat, and the music is a vibe! Definitely recommend for anyone in the west loop area. Prices are great for being in west loop too! read more

Very clean place fairly new server was very friendly and informative on the menu and sauces. first time here but have had many different types of tenders and sandwiches guess there everywhere now So got the six tender meal with the City sauce and it came out fairly quickly and everything looked good. Tenders were cooked perfectly and had a good crunch to them and flavor was mild by itself had a few with the City sauce but wasn't doing it for me but the ketchup helped with the flavor and texture . The Parmesan cheese fries I wasn't a big fan of the fries they were crispy but just wasn't doing it for me I'll be back to try something different as the chicken was good and close by read more

5/5 Service was amazing - I went for takeout when it was pretty empty and the staff was super communicative about when my food would be ready and even offered me fries on the house. I was expecting a pretty standard chicken sando and fries but this was way better - the slaw was super fresh (crunchy instead of soggy) and the sandwich was loaded with sauce and flavor (so fine let it sit otherwise it'll get soggy). The breading was still very flavorful and crunchy when I ate it while other sandos even fresh the breading disintegrates with barely the presence of moisture. *Not to mention* the chicken itself was crazy juicy - tried to capture the sheeeen of the juice in the third pic - it was practically dripping. TBH on-par if not better than Parsons (sorrynotsorry). Fries were also really great - clearly high quality and really well seasoned with garlic and Parmesan - definitely a step up from what I expected from a fast casual place. Finally, price 5/5 - this sando is extremely high quality and about the same price point as Chick-fil-A - aka significantly cheaper than most quality fried chicken sandos in Chicago. 10/10 would recommend & definitely will be back read more

Had City Bird for the first time today! I was extremely impressed. It may have been the best chicken tenders I've ever had! Will be coming back. read more

The chicken strips are some of the best I've ever had! Friendly service. Everything is made fresh and in a timely manner. Enjoyed it a lot

Solid fast food spot in the West Loop on Halsted. I stopped in here a few times for lunch and have never been disappointed. I've ordered the Buffalo Bleu chicken tender sandwich, very good and filling along with the fries and drink. Staff is friendly but space is limited for seating so it may be a good spot to take out. I'll be back read more

Great food and nice customer service. Really nice area very nice and welcoming. Good price and good atmosphere to be in. decently coming back frequently read more

Solid chicken take out spot. It's a tad pricey but the chicken still has pretty good flavor. I got the city bird sandswich and a small tender meal. The shoestring type fries were good, dipped in seasoning, salt, and parmesan cheese. The tenders were very small so maybe get the size up if you're hungry. The sandwich had a lot of slaw so if you're not up for the beware read more

Absolutely love this place. Perfectly seasoned chicken, dipping coleslaw, and a mountain of fries at a decent price gets me to come back every time it crosses my mind. The staff is amazing super nice and easy going. It's a clean and quaint place, but for a quick bite to eat, that's all it really needs to be. read more

I got the snack 4 tender basket. I'm used to Raising Canes 3 chicken being enough. I should have gone with the medium basket the chicken strips were on the smaller size but they were tasty. The sweet peach tea was also great. And the girl working the counter tonight was very kind. The lobby was clean and not crowded but we also came in at 8:30 pm. read more

The chicken tenders and sandwich we ordered were delicious! We got the city sauce with the tenders and the spicy sauce with the sandwich, both were even better than we expected. I think they're a little short staffed, since it took several minutes before someone appeared at the cash register to take my order. They were kind enough to walk my takeout order all the way out to me when it was ready, though! read more

This is the eighth location in the U.S. and the first location here. This is by the Thunderdome Restaurant Group. Had the Buffalo Bleu Sandwich w/ fries and Salad. Then I had Sweet Tea & Lemonade mix. Items are under twelve dollars. Everything was superb. Ohh! The playlist for the music is great! read more

I love trying new spots. I had for lunch with a co worker last week. The chicken tenders were full of flavor but small. I tried 4 different sauces: lemon thyme ranch (meh) , buffalo sauce , city sauce (ok) and my favorite hot honey. I had the spicy oil added to my chicken tenders as well. The fries probably would of been better had I dined in. I could go back. The ambiance was average, clean and fountain drinks. It's in a good location hopefully they have great success. read more

Excellent and friendly service and great food! Seasoned fries were very tasty as was the breading on the tenders.

Well what I thought was going to be a quick run for lunch turned into a 20 min wait. Yes it was lunch time but 20 min is too long and then your order is missing something. I ordered the 6 tender meal that comes with fries and a 1/2 salad. Easy enough right? Wrong! Don't get me wrong, the two people working were doing the best they could. After that long wait, I get back to my office only to find I had no fries in my box. Well too late to go back so now I just have to do without. I'm very disappointed. read more

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.
