I was able to smell the chicken a block away, so I had to try them…read more This place is a cute little hole in the wall. I ordered the 4 piece dark with mild sauce and a small rib tip. I also ordered a side of cole slaw and red beans and rice. The guy behind the counter said they don't have mild sauce for the chicken. Then he told me the sauces that they had, so I said no sauce. I guess he was also relating the sauces for the rib tips when I already said no sauce. They cook the chicken fresh and may take a little time. When I got home, I was ready to dig in but I found out the sauce discussion left my rib tips with no bbq sauce. I called them and a nice lady told me I would be taken care of the next time, I visit. Thank goodness, I had bbq sauce. But I tried the tips without sauce and they were seasoned well. I put on some Sweet Baby Rays on them and dang it was good. The tips were tender and a lot of meat. The chicken was so good that I wish I would have gotten more. It was seasoned and crunchy. The Cole slaw was okay and the red beans and rice was good, just which it had a little more pot liquor. I would definitely go back. Also the prices that they have online is really outdated.

Hot chicken has become very popular in recent years and Byrd's is a newcomer to the space. The…read morehook here is that they serve halal chicken which opens up their customer base to a lot of people who couldn't go to your typical chicken joint. And the chicken isn't just halal, it's good. Moist and tender, it stands up to any chicken shack. And there are several spice levels from which you can choose. Beware - even the mild has some heat (there's also a no spice option). This isn't really place to sit and eat. There are tables, but It's more of a takeout place. And it's open until THREE AM some nights.

5 stars the best wings in Chicago by far!…read more Took a bunch of first timers here and they were like what are we doing in the middle of Evanston? Yes the place is run down and dated but you are not here for the ambiance or decor you are here for the delicious wings which they have the best! Everyone in my group was blown away by how delicious the wings were and we all will be back anytime we are visiting Chicago!

This spot is such a classic! I have been coming here for many years and always love coming back…read more Just an FYI that it is cash only. They also have an ATM machine if you don't have cash. Generally this location is usually pretty busy almost every time I have been here. Not too loud, definitely a place where you chill and hang with your friends over some wonderful wings! The food comes out pretty fast though & it's a spot where you can order, eat, and leave in a reasonable time. The wings have gotten a little smaller over the years, but I still come back because it's just so good. My usual order are the spicy wings and waffle fries. Something about the waffle fries that make it so good. I always have to have it. The wings.....you can't stop after a few. It's also addicting and you have to eat another one. Writing this makes me want to go on another road trip to get wings and waffle fries now!

If you're a North Shore/Chicago native, you'll know that Dong-Ah Food has always been the craze to…read moreget one's KFC fix - people order catering trays, or, if you're lucky enough, there may be some a la carte of the wings in different sizes that come right out of the kitchen to pick up to-go. Unfortunately, the owners have changed, and it is now not Korean-, but Filipino-owned. Not that there's anything wrong with this, but the recipe for the chicken didn't seemed to have been shared, or the new owners' execution is not correct; either way, the flavoring of the wings have been off ever since. Not worth the visit nor the $ spent, as the prices have also exponentially increased for the lack of quality control/flavorless chicken. The OG Dong-Ah fans are already disappointed, and this place isn't part of anyone's rotation any longer. No dice. +avoid the KFC +changed owners

Got our order to go and we all went with the rice bowls: the Katsu Bowl, Korean BBQ Chicken Bowl,…read moreand Fire Chicken Bowl. Out of the three, the Katsu Bowl was my favorite. Super flavorful. The Fire Chicken Bowl definitely has a bit of a kick; I'm not big on spicy food, but my mom enjoyed it. The Korean BBQ Chicken Bowl had sauce that soaked nicely into the rice and tasted great, though the chicken itself was a bit bland. I recommend getting an extra side of Garlic Parmesan Aioli to dip the chicken in. It made a big difference. Overall, the bowls were pretty filling, and we enjoyed them.

This is an amazing place if you want some of the driest, most flavorless wings you can imagine…read more Wasn't always like this so not sure what happened to this place. I ordered 20 wings, 3 different flavors and they all tasted like completely plain wings. They hardly put any sauce/rub. Tasted just like bucket of Jewel wings but for 3x the price. Definitely won't be coming back to this location. If you want wings, the Bdubz at Old Orchard is way better.

Sis got the Loaded Sriracha fries as well, holy smokes were they good! Wings were crispy & saucy accordingly. Place is small & the music on the tv was wierd... old Brittany Spears and Justin Bieber playing loudly was our only side-eye. Don't let that stop you!

I went with the lunch special (as recommended by the super friendly person at the register). This was deal was a bargain - 12 wings, fries and a soda all for under $20. I terms of flavors, I went with the Al Capone and Lemon Pepper rub. Both were excellent and would highly recommend the Al Capone. Can see why this is their recommended sauce. Unique, creamy and full of flavor. Will definitely be back!

The drinks are strong and delicious. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and split them and it was good but nothing fancy or authentic/ethnic in flavor (regular corporate bar food if that makes sense).
