Minnie Bird blew away our expectations out of the water! We got their tenders with Minnie Bird style fries, and the chicken was sooooo juicy! I love how they're lightly breaded, but you can still taste how well cooked the chicken is. Additionally, there's an assortment of sauces to choose from. We also got the dirty sodas, and we love how much customization there is; there's also a soda fountain to top of any more soda or drinks you want. Lastly, we got the Nashville wrap, and it was pretty tasty but small for the price. The service was top notch since you get to order at the kiosk or cashier; additionally, they serve you free ice cream at the end. I also went to the bathroom, and the crew member was cleaning it and was very kind and apologetic for making me wait only a minute. The ambiance was very bright and welcoming. There was a lot of seating, and I liked how there's a parking lot as well. I would definitely come back again for the dirty soda combinations and the chicken! read more

Friendly service!! You can use computers or talk to a person to order. There's chicken. Yep, that's it. Also free soft serve. They serve dirty or fountain sodas Fries were really tasty. They were crunchy on the outside and potatoey on the inside. The chicken was moist and crunchy, too. We both had fountain drinks. My only complaint is that I got iced tea and there's no sweet and low in the store. Bummer. Oh one more. It's so cold in here. I ate with my coat on and still had freezing hands. But I still got a soft serve cone. Yummy!! read more

Never been here. Never heard of it. But hey I'll try it. Got the 3 wrap combo. You can try different chicken sandwiches, comes with fries and a drink. And also a free soft serve ice cream cone. Vanilla, Chocolate, or Swirl (always my choice). A lot to review here. The wraps are basically tenders on a tortilla. Good tenders on good tortillas i might add. I tried three different types. I tried the Minnie, Nashville Hot, and the Southern Charm. All the 3 were good. But honestly I think the Minnie was my favorite. The fries were decent but they don't give you a lot. They also have a drink list that's a mile long. You order at a kiosk. That's good and bad. I needed like 5 min to decide what to drink frfr. I ended up getting the Mango River refresher. It was OK. If you like coconut you might like this taste. Not overwhelming , but more than a hint. You can definitely taste the coconut. Finally the soft serve ice cream is "free" with a combo. But if i have to buy a combo is it really free lol. It's decent nothing fancy. I would definitely go here again. Maybe try a sandwich. Ill have to rate it verses other chicken spots later! read more

Minnie Bird - Three Wrap Combo - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Oak Brook, Illinois

So this is my third time eating here. I always got the sandwiches and made them hot and spicy. Today I just kept it simple and had a regular tender and I'm extremely impressed. First of all, the tenders are lightly breaded. You can actually tase the chicken. You feel like you're eating real chicken, not a blob of breading. That technically makes them lower carb Also, having no spice level allows you to actually taste the chicken and it was very good. The seasoning on the regular tender is very good. I love coming here for a drink, which I do all the time. My favorite is the Big Dave made with Diet Coke. Service is quick and the place is always clean and bright. read more

A new location in Oakbrook. My first hearing about Minnie Bird's Chicken Franchise. I stopped in after my retail therapy for a bite to eat. This place was packed with people. You had to place your order on the screen monitor. I don't like how so many places especially restaurant chains are making you place your order on a monitor. I missed those times where you interact with a real person and not a computer screen. FYI, its very nosey with lots of screaming kids and loud talking. I ordered the tender meal combo, 3 chicken tenders, crinkled fries, small container of cole slaw, Texas toast and fountain drink. There was one worker who was walking around making sure every table was cleaned. I liked how he was attentive and making sure the tables were cleaned and wiped down. Kudos to that your man. The customer service is the reason for the 3 star review. The workers were working hard getting out orders, polite and attentive. I wasn't impressed with the food. My fries and chicken tenders were salty and the cole slaw was dry. My complimentary twirl ice cream tasted like a frozen root beer. I'm glad that I experience Minnie Bird. My first and last visit. read more

Def recommend no spice if you aren't good with it because their spice level starts high! Sauce station is great with something for everyone. I got the chicken sandwich and it was huge with the flavor to match! Chicken is probably my favorite fried chicken in the area. And enjoy the complimentary ice cream at the end. Def one of my favorite treat meals. read more

Minnie Bird - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Oak Brook, Illinois

After a long morning of shopping and running errands in the west suburbs, the family wanted to visit @eatminniebird. It was our first time and we were a little overwhelmed by the drink / dirty soda options. We chose a few sprite based dirty sodas and ordered a mix of chicken tenders, chicken sandwhiches, fries and cheese curds. It was pretty busy still being closer to 2 on a weekend - but our food came out pretty fast. My kids were starving so unfortunately the camera didn't get to eat first when the food arrived. The kids loved their tenders and fries with the seasonal sauce: everything but the bagel. My husband and I both opted to make our sandwhiches spicy and paired with the sauces - they were delicious. The sandwhiches are on the larger end and I managed to eat 75% before passing it into hubby so I could save room for the soft serve. Speaking of the soft serve - the flavor of the month was salted caramel. I opted for a swirl with vanilla and everyone else had it straight salted caramel. We all liked it even though it was more on the icier side as opposed to creamy. All in all we liked Minnie Bird, but wouldn't go out of our way to get it in the burbs as we live in the city. read more

Only 1 light away from the busy mall area, we came in on a whim and loved it! Great hot chicken, drinks, sides and free soft ice crème! Really liked the vibe, decor, music and relaxed atmosphere. Staff were very helpful to assist with substitutions and explain the concept. Lots of options for sauces on the side. I had The Tex dirty soda with Pibb, vanilla and coconut - very yummy! Cole self serve soda machine and lemonade options. Small food menu but all together hits the spot on value and options! read more

Saw that this place and opened not too long ago and wanted to check it out. Kind of small inside but also somewhat spread out. It was pretty busy for a Tuesday night. More people started to come in after I did, so dining in and take out was busy. There's options on the menu if you want just tendies, chicken sandwich, or a wrap! You can also choose between regular, Nashville, and honey dipped. My friend and I decided to get the tendies combo. My friend got the Nashville and I went with the honey dipped. We both thought that the flavor was good, but we also agreed that we wished the breading stuck on better because it kept coming off the chicken. The fries and coleslaw were okay and the toast didn't have much of a taste to it. Each bite kind of felt like a really greasy bite. I liked the different dirty soda options or you can even create your own! I decided to get The Float On. It was very similar to a root beer float! I enjoyed the sauce station as well, love that I have options! The best way to end your meal.....you get a FREE soft serve on a cone! Who wouldn't love that?! Their flavor of the month is peppermint! One of my favorite flavors. They also have vanilla or you can get a twist with both flavors. read more

I was so excited when I saw that Minnie Bird was coming to Oak Brook! I have seen their Schaumburg location all over tiktok and was so ready to try it! Minnie Bird does not disappoint! The decor was so cute inside! It gave miss minutes/time variance authority vibes if that makes sense LOL. I just loved the color scheme and consistent visuals. As a new spot, the line was fairly long as expected, but it wasn't too bad. I think there was a consistent flow of open tables so it wasn't hard to find an open spot. We ordered the Minnie Tender Combo & the Pimiento Honey Heat Sandwich Combo. The tender combo came with texas toast, fries, and coleslaw. For the sandwich combo, we opted for the cheese curds. They do not skimp out! they gave an appropriate size for each combo, which I very much appreciate! I also loved the flavor of the pimiento choose with the hot honey- sooooo good. I also loved the variety of flavors they had: fresh herb buttermilk ranch, buffalo ranch, honey mustard, bbq sauce, Minnie's sauce, and dipping sauce. We also tried a dirty soda. I loved the flavor and how they added candies at the top, a great sweet treat if you ask me. But thats not all, they also give a free soft serve ice cream. We had the pumpkin + vanilla mix, and it was a perfect way to end the meal! read more

I was always obsessed with Minnie Bird in Schaumburg, so I was THRILLED they opened closer to our home! I've never actually tried their food (a shame, I know), but their dirty sodas are so, so good! The Skinny Minnie menu is a 10/10- especially the north shore! They change the ice cream flavors monthly, and November 2025's is maple butter pecan, which we all loved!! Service is consistently sweet, and I feel like it's such a warm, cozy vibe that I always want to sit back and relax. We'll absolutely be back without a doubt! :) read more

Wow yuuuummm. My Nashville hot chicken sandwich was so. Fricken. Good. The heat of the "hot" was perfect (for your average human) but they did offer two spicer options. Fries and cheese sauce were fire and so were the cheese curds. My dirty soda was SOO GOOD. This almost seems to be more of a beverage place than a chicken place since the drinks take up 2/3 of the menu. So may dirty sodas and dirty cofffee's to choose from. Either way, the atmosphere was great. The food was great. It was fast and they offer all of their sauces for you to pump yourself so you can look as crazy as you want and not bother anyone. (The dill pickle ranch + cheese curds had me moaning at the table) Go TRY IT. Next time, in trying to pimento cheese wrap :))) mmmm read more

Minnie Bird - Sauces and a classic dirty soda - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Oak Brook, Illinois

If Raising Cane's had a cooler, younger brother, this would be it. I was in town for work recently and a coworker suggested I give it a try. I know chicken spots like this are popping up everywhere, but this one really stood out. I ordered the Nashville tenders with fries. It comes with Texas toast and slaw, but here's the twist and the best part they have a sauce bar. You can load up on different kinds of ranch and other dipping sauces, which is something Cane's definitely doesn't offer. I'm looking forward to seeing more of these locations open up, hopefully closer to where I live. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. read more

My mom told me about this new place by the mall so I decided to check it out. Then I saw it on tik tok and heard about the dirty soda so I was really interested in that. I will start by saying the dirty soda was delicious- I got the peachy days and it was super yummy! I almost finished it while I was waiting for my food to be ready. To eat I got the nashville tender combo in hot and I was not impressed by these at all. There was very little flavor and not hot at all. Loved the crinkle cut fries! Will definitely come back from dirty soda if anything. read more

This location is close to work for me so my co-workers and I frequent here often during lunch. You can't stay away from a great combo of fried chicken, dirty sodas and free ice cream! The only downside is that they need a bigger space. It's kinda hard to find a seat especially during busy dining times. I got their wraps and enjoy them but I need 2-3 to be full. I liked their chicken sandwich but it was messy like my hands were sticky when I picked it up. I really like their tenders and would recommend the tenders the most. Love their full sauce bar!! I love sauce so this is my happy place. I enjoy their tropical dirty sodas the most! Of course no visit is complete without an ice cream! read more

Minnie Bird is going to be a restaurant I visit weekly. The ambiance is really quite nice. It's a classic/modern diner-esque vibe with lots of orange accents. The food came out maybe about five minutes after we ordered and the cherry on top to the visit was probably the free ice cream! If you like sweet and spicy, order the hot honey pimento cheese wrap or burger. It kind of reminded me of Korean fried chicken. You will NOT be disappointed. I haven't had good Nashville hot chicken since visiting in Nashville. Thank God for Minnie Bird! read more

I think I like Minnie Bird even better than Cane's Chicken! The restaurant was super busy when we came on a Sunday afternoon, but we were able to find a table for 2. You order at a kiosk near the front. The combos come with a fountain drink, but you have to pay extra for the dirty soda. I highly recommend paying the extra $3ish for the dirty soda because there are so many fun flavors and they're large drinks. I got the 3-tender combo and really liked the juicy tenders and their fries. The Texas toast was basically just buttered thick toast, nothing very extraordinary, and the coleslaw was pretty tasty. They also have a sauce bar with original sauces, along with a monthly ranch. As a ranch lover, this was so exciting to me. The tables were clean, and it seemed like everyone's orders came out within 5 minutes of placing their order. I was most excited for the free ice cream, but it's not the creamy/fatty soft serve, it's more frozen ice than cream, like a sorbet. read more

Great food that's fresh, flavorful, and the dirty sodas are wonderful. Rivals parsons chicken in the city.

Tried Minnie Bird for the tenders and was honestly disappointed. The chicken came out soggy and greasy, with no real crunch -- it felt like the oil temp was off or the fry station was rushed. Flavor wasn't bad, but texture is everything with fried chicken, and this missed the mark. I get that it's a busy, fast-casual spot, but fry discipline matters -- when that slips, the whole experience goes with it. Would give it another shot if execution improves, but this visit didn't deliver. read more

One of the best chicken sandwiches I've had. And this is coming from a pretty harsh grader. Props to Minnie's. Love it. No cash! Only takes electronic payments read more

Super good drinks. Tasty chicken. Love the orange theme on the decor. Food was fast and the fries were crispy. My family loved it.

A tasty meal and fun atmosphere to eat lunch! The staff was very friendly and seemed excited about the products they were serving up- rare to find that these days. Anyways, the food was also very good. Super crispy chicken that was seasoned nicely. Good price point for a very filling sandwich. The pimento honey heat sandwich hit the spot! I remember chick fil a had a similar sandwich a few years ago. And this was a better version of that! Good combo of sweet + heat. The fries were very crispy and enjoyable. The chicken wrap was solid but it didn't blow me away. Plus, gotta love free soft serve at the end of a meal! I will be back read more

Minnie Bird is a burst of joy for lunch or dinner. The atmosphere is so upbeat with happy colors and great lighting & comfy decor. We've been to the Schaumburg location and were excited to see this brand new location in Oak Brook. It was fantastic. The Dirty Sodas are so cool. There's a 100% chance you'll find a curated, hand crafted drink which suits your taste. If not, you can build your own and even add Candy to the drink. It's a DREAM COME TRUE for any kid! The 3 Wrap Combo was our favorite. The Pimiento Honey Heat and the The Nashville Hot exceeded expectations. Our crinkle fries were crispy and hot. My son loves Fried Cheese Curds and these didn't disappoint! I think the Minnie Slaw is tangy and delicious. My son devoured his moist Chicken Tenders along with the Texas Toast. We were wowed by the sauce bar featuring 6 creamy options: Buffalo Ranch, Fresh Herb Buttermilk Ranch, BBQ Sauce, Honey Mustard, Dippin' Sauce and Minne's Sauce. Consider ordering Minnie Fries for the table. They're topped with cheese, pickles and sweet jalapenos & Minne Sauce. And to top the experience if you buy an entree you get a FREE soft serve ice cream treat for dessert! What's better than that??? Flavors vary. Today we savored a Pumpkin & Vanilla swirl. Wonderful way to wrap the meal. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food, presentation, EXTREMELY KIND employees and the VERY inviting fast casual environment. They have an APP where dollars spent convert to points which earn you FREE food! Our family thinks this is a mighty special place. You're sure to have a good experience. I looked around at some of the other customers, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Should you get full, they have handy containers to bring home leftovers. And check out the fun Minnie Bird swag. My daughter wants a Minnie Bird sweat shirt next time we go! We're now thinking about Minnie Bird catering for an upcoming family event! read more

Everything was nice hot and fresh. Had to let the tenders cool off they were so fresh. All the sauces are fantastic and the Nashville Hot seasoning on the tenders reminded me of a Hattie B's hot in Nashville. The fries could use a butt more salt but they were also hot and fresh! Texas toast and cole slaw were fine. So excited for this place. It is a worthy challenger to Raising Canes and I think I prefer it. Plus it's a Chicago company so gotta support that!!! read more

Its not fast food, its an old fashion sandwich spot with a simple menu and nails it. Monthly rotating free ice cream flavors after an optionally spicy chicken sandwich/wrap/tender.

Cute vibe.... But don't bother if anyone in your party has dietary restrictions. Had to switch our order to takeout since fried chicken is the ONLY main course option. No idea why grilled chicken or a gluten-free roll isn't offered, it would be nice to see them more inclusive. And speaking of being inclusive, the drinks menu would be difficult for anyone who needs reading glasses or has dyslexia. Won't be back. No biggie because a ton of other great restaurants in that same area. read more

It met beyond our expectations. Hubby and I tried it out this past Tuesday! Omg.... So good! Going back with the kiddos! Did not disappoint whatsoever and I'm super picky! :) read more

We ordered from DoorDash and I think some kinks still need to be worked out. We asked for the birdie sauce on the side and got no sauce. We did answer the survey and they replied back with a $10 voucher.... Except I didn't realize the voucher had to be redeemed in person within an allotted timeframe, so when I clicked on it expecting to use it on another online order, I had 15 minutes to show it live to a cashier (which obviously wasn't going to happen) so there went that voucher. I also prefer my food delivery orders to be sealed with a sticker, which I think most restaurants do these days. The food was okay. I got the hottest chicken option which wasn't hot at all in my opinion (I've been to multiple Nashville hot chicken places where the mild options have made me sweat). read more

Great chicken and sauces at Minnie Bird. Had the Minnie Fries and I highly recommend them. The dirty sodas are great they have a lot to choose from. At the end of the meal you get free ice cream and they have a flavor that rotates. Highly recommended great addition to Invicto and Blackwood BBQ building. read more
