I walked into this location, randomly everything on the menu looks good from chicken to the burgers. I ended up getting a smashed burger with some fries. The location was very clean. The food was great the sauce they put on the burgers. Excellent. I will definitely be back to this location

Had a great experience both times except the second time the woman who took our order could not understand English at all and had to have her coworker help her take our order. The guy who helped us both times we visited within the week (late evening time) was helpful and suggested menu items and was patient as it was our first time ordering. I was sold on it being antibiotic free without hormones, since I was reluctant to eating any fast food chicken out here in these hormone pumped chicken streets. (Yes I'm spoiled from eating REAL meat outside the country and can easily taste the difference between the real and the fake GMO stuff). The chicken is so juicy, well flavored and cooked to perfection. It takes some time for food to be ready but I'd rather wait for fresh cooked chicken than the one that's been sitting out for quite some time. Because the cashier was so helpful and the chicken was amazingly flavored and juicy I'm giving it 4 stars. Guys, please train your staff on taking orders so that the language barrier doesn't inconvenience your customers and get people irritated. The evening guy saved your service rating!

Onion ring

From a first glance, the place didn't look or feel the cleanest due to the sticky residue and trash lying on the floor. In addition to the filth contaminating the restaurant, we ordered the 2 kinds of sandwich, and I believe we also ordered 2 sets of chicken tenders. The chicken they gave us was surprisingly big but the seasoning seemed cheap. It was evident that only half or a fraction of the chicken was actually seasoned, seen from the color disorientation caused by the seasoning. Overall the meal was satisfactory but in all honesty the chicken tasted a bit rubbery. One thing I didn't mention is that I also ordered the onion rings which is just an onion opened up like a flower covered in batter which gets deep fried, only problem that it was only half cooked so towards the bottom half of the onion ring it was still all mushy soggy from the batter.

Crimson Coward Such juicy tenders, fried fresh to order. This shop is open until 12 AM every day

Enjoying fresh, hormone-free halal food, fried to order, while watching the bustling streets of Michigan is a wonderful experience, complete with varying degrees of spiciness to stimulate the taste buds.

Nandos is incredible!! it's not everywhere and I'm from the West Coast. They had one in Burbank…read moreCalifornia for a while, but then it left and I was so sad. Now I'm in Las Vegas and they're still not there, unfortunately. But I was so ecstatic to see that this was here in Chicago! If you like hot sauce and different types of salsa's & sauces, this is the place for you for sure!! Peri peri hot sauce is delicious and from their store in particular, it's the best!! I've gotten some of their sauce from the grocery store before, trust me that's not what you want. You want to try this!! I recommend getting the grilled chicken breast with on the bone with skin! Any chicken dish is delicious though with that hot sauce! I like to get it with "hot" when I order it, and then I dunk it in the medium with a touch of the lemon & herb.. Thank me later!

Horrible food at this location. They are spoiling the name…read moreof Nandos Bunch of kids running this place. Neither they had no idea about the whats in each dish, neither they know if substitution can be made, WORST neighbor they know how to cook. Any question asked them was let me check and 3-4 staff members had to consult. Food that came in was not as per Nando's standard. Garlic bread was not crunchy, crispy, very little garlic, Burger seemed not fully cooked. Bowls were not that great either. 5 of us spent $100 but it was bad. We have been to one in Oakbrook multiple times and food is very good. I personally have not been to one near millennium park but heard thats good too. But this was bad.

So this is the restaurant that took over Bubba Gump at Navy pier. Today was my first time trying…read moreit. I was with some friends that were familiar. Of course I had the fried chicken because that's what they're specialize in. I also had the loaded mashed potatoes and the braised greens. When I say everything was top-notch delicious! It was truly an experience. We also had the hush puppies, the chicken sliders as well as fried green tomatoes, devil eggs, and lobster mac & cheese. Everything was truly amazing. The drinks were top-notch. They have a great happy hour from 3 to 6. I hate that I didn't take pictures of my food, but just trust me. The ambience was amazing. We sat outside on the patio. It was a beautiful night. Our server Autumn has been with the company for years. She's amazing and gave us amazing service. Conrad was our bartender and his drinks were top-notch. I highly recommend this place hit me back and let me know how you liked it.

I'm going to be brutally honest I thought we were getting pranked…read more I will say the food that we got was good, my catfish was hot and tasty, my friends chicken was good. But the service was beyond strange. It was around 7pm and there were only a few tables with patrons. Our server kept talking to us and looking at us like there was a ghost at the table. I honestly felt bad each time he came to our table. Like we were holding him hostage or something. We ordered biscuits for our appetizer. They never arrived. We order our entrees. Mine came with 3 sides. I asked to keep the greens and remove the other two and get mash. My meal came with only mash. He asked us how our food tasted before it had even arrived. He was as confused as us when we asked where the biscuits were. When we left around 8:30, staff were just laid out relaxing in dinner booths on their phones and another server came to my table wearing a hoodie over her work clothes. It was all bizarre. As if the manager was off for the night and everyone was counting down the seconds to leave. I repeat the food was good, but the service was like the twilight zone, I doubt we would ever come back.

Dropped into Yardbird in Chicago for their happy hour, and it proved to be a great choice. The…read moreatmosphere was lively, but what really elevated the night was the exceptional service. Our server, Miguel, was phenomenal. She was attentive, fast, and gave us some spot-on recommendations. Per her advice, we ordered the deviled eggs with jalapeño, hands down the highlight of the table. The deviled eggs with paired with that subtle jalapeño kick was absolutely perfect. For the mains, the chicken and waffles were good, carrying that solid comfort food flavor you expect. The waffles were a bit soft for my taste. To drink, the sidecar was mixed perfectly, well-balanced, crisp, and hit the exact right note. Giving it 4 stars only because while the mains were good, the starters and the outstanding service from Miguel were what truly stole the show. I'll definitely be back to hang out at the bar again nest time I am in town!

Visiting Chicago and decided to try Yardbird since we frequent Yardbird Miami. We drove from by the…read moreairport ( an hour ride) for mediocre food and lackluster customer service. The biscuits were the only thing that were very good. We ordered the fried chicken which was lukewarm and dry. We asked if we could have hot chicken that was just dropped. Our server said sure, it will take a minute to cook. We said okay, no problem. Two minutes later, I assume a manager(since he did not introduce himself), brings dark greasy chicken on a plate with mashed potatoes and salad. He condescendingly said, let's see this is hot enough. Our server comes backed shocked that the chicken is there already. The chicken appeared to have been old chicken sitting under a warmer that they dropped in grease. It tasted burnt. Another manager came to inquire as he saw we weren't eating the chicken. We asked him to remove the chicken and we'll eat the sides only. He offered to try again. We said no thanks. Why should it take 3 times to get fresh, hot, almost $40 fried chicken? The bill came with the chicken till on it even thought we sent it back. We politely asked him to remove that charge. The manager had the audacity to say "come back next time so we can get it right". Really? We're is the customer service? Our dinner was ruined, No gift card to come back? We have frequented this restaurant for years. This is not Yardbird Quality. Shame on you Chicago
