    Delicious chicken. Good options for different flavors and combinations. Easy ordering at the kiosk. Enjoyed the free ice cream as well. Definitely going back!

    At the urging of my brother and sister-in-law, my husband and I went to Minnie Bird with them. This reminded me of Raising Cane's only with many more options. We ordered the three wrap combo and the honey glazed tender combo. For sides, we had the crinkle cut fries and cheese curds. The chicken was good and the flavors that in came in added variety to the meal. The crinkle cut fries and cheese curds were familiar yet exciting. You get a soft serve cone with your meal. You can choose from vanilla or the flavor of the month. This month's flavor was mint for March. It was ok but shouldn't be the sole reason for coming to Minnie Bird. The restaurant was pretty full the entire time we were there. We'll have to try a dirty soda the next time we come.

    Picked up something from ikea in Schaumburg and stopped for lunch. You order at a kiosk which I'm never a big fan of but we were able to just barely beat a huge wave of people so were able to get food quickly and grab a good table. I thought the sandwich was awesome. Great flavor and crisp. Juicy and hot. Kids of course liked the ice cream. I'm excited they opened another location in oakbrook because we will be back! It's super cute inside.

    The Nashville Hot Sandwich

    Chicken sandwiches are huge and tasty, tried the signature Minnie and the Nashville. Coleslaw is a great compliment to the sandwiches. Dirty sodas are popular and the best part is the complementary swirl ice cream. There's a flavor featured each month. Ambiance gives a fun, ice cream parlor and diner vibe. Service is fast and the staff is friendly and happy to answer any questions about the menu and specialty sodas

    I have been here a few times, but the last time with friends, the food was even better than I remember! We were catching up before the full calendar holiday season and no one said a word to us as we chatted away for almost four hours. (No one was going without a seat, otherwise we would have relocated!) There are few places where the price includes the entree, the sides, an unlimited fountain drink, AND a little sweet treat. The upgrade to cheese curds to share is always recommended. The sweet person at the ice cream station let me eat both vanilla AND pecan praline after she heard me pass because I am allergic to pecans. She informed me there are actually no pecans in the flavor and saw the instant regret on my face for assuming it did and put some in a cup for me to try in addition to the cone of vanilla WITH SPRINKLES (!) that I was holding. I do wish the restaurant space was bigger and wasn't surrounded by not one, but two doors that open in these Midwestern winters, but that won't stop me. I'll just try to eat at odd times to ensure a table space! I am happy you are here, Minnie Bird!

    Minnie tender combo

    From the Vintage feel, affordable prices, amazing food, and free ice cream this place is definitely in my new rotation.

    Me Pimento Honey Heat Wrap
    Gavin L.

    I thought this place was all right. Food came out quick and there's also free ice cream but I did not like the most was they? They did not accept any cash which I thought that was weird and for like a fast food type place except in cash like kind of like regular you know service they're friendly. It was also just really nice. The atmosphere this place is really makes it really well. It's a nice place. Good music good vibes overall it's 3 out 5

    Minnie's Fried Chicken Sandwich Combo
    Mark T.

    If you've ever wondered "how long will Mark drive for a chicken sandwich?" The answer is "at least an hour." After seeing Minnie Bird on social media, it instantly made its way on my virtually endless "to try" list. Yesterday, I finally made the trek out. Was it worth it? Absolutely! In fact, I'd be lying if I wasn't low key considering returning today. I ordered a Minnies Fried Chicken Sandwich Combo (Hot) and a Caramel Cake Skinnie Minnie Dorty Soda. The sandwich was excellent! I was tender on the inside, has a crisp exterior without the feeling of chewing on rocks, and the sweet to heat ratio was spot on! Now, while I do plan on asking for extra pickle chips moving forward, while devouring this glorious thing I didn't necessarily feel they were missing. Bonus points for the sando staying together well, despite a liquid honey glaze. The combo also came with fries, ordered as crinkle cut. These were both cooked and seasoned to perfection. What made them even better is the Minnie Bird has lots of different sauce/condiments/dips. Diehard fans of my blabbering will know how much I love going ham on sauces. I didn't even touch the ketchup! The dirty soda was great! First things first, I love that they have sugar-free oprions for those who want to watch their sugar intake. The Caramel Cake was a delicious and superbly balanced blend of Diet Coke + SF Caramel + Cream. Definitely a winner! As a cherry on top (pun intended), you're also entitled to a free ice cream cone with purchase of a combo or sandwich, IIRC. Alas, it does not come with a cherry on top. It's a smaller cone, which is a perfect end to an otherwise calorie dense meal. I got the S'more's flavor, which was excellent! Finally, some closing notes: - The service was great! Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and kind. Food and soda came out fast too! - Everything about the interior was clean! - While the prices are a little on the high side, I think the quality is up there, plus nothing is really cheap anymore. Thus, perhaps it's a good thing Minnie Bird is as far as it is, else I may have found myself in here a couple times a week! P.S. This is a milestone review - #1,200!

    You order your food and drink at a kiosk and wait for them to call at the pick-up counter. Staff were very friendly. Drinks were ready almost instantly. I'm a sucker for a good dirty soda, and theirs was great. It is very cute inside - kind of like an old-time diner feel with all of the red and white checkered pattern everywhere. The sandwich was spicier than I expected, but the seasoning and tenderness were on point. Whenever you are ready for dessert, you can go up to the drink/ice cream counter and get your complimentary cone.

    The Nashville Hot Sandwich
    Sabrina C.

    I don't say this lightly, but Minnie Bird might just have the best fried chicken in the Chicago suburbs. I stopped by after hearing some buzz and left already planning my next visit. I started with one of their "dirty sodas," and was instantly impressed because they've got over 90 flavor combinations, which is wild in the best way. The chicken itself is golden fried to perfection--crispy, flavorful breading and juicy meat inside. I tried both the Nashville Hot sandwich and the classic tenders (no spice), and I honestly can't pick a favorite. They were both excellent. You get to choose from cheese curds, fries, or slaw as your side, and I mean... come on. No wrong answers there. Add in the sauce bar, which is elite, by the way.......and you're in flavor heaven. Don't skip the Minnie Bird sauce and the dipping sauce. Trust me. And here's the kicker: FREE ice cream at the end. The flavor changes monthly, and it's the perfect sweet treat to wrap it all up. It's 1000% worth the short drive from the city. If you live nearby, I'm officially jealous. Highly recommend this spot!

    Fun family friendly fried chicken sandwich chain with trendy cream soda. The restaurant is located after the main strip and has plenty of parking. Inside seating is very much soda counter vibe. I saw the cream soda trend and tried it since it was close to the office. Unfortunately I'm not a fan and being a surcharge, was not worth the experience for me. It reminds me of a melted root beer float, but not every trend is for everyone. The fried chicken sandwich was delish and the there so many sauce options. I really appreciate the variety. Service was busy for a weekday lunch, but the chicken was fried fresh to order, so worth to wait. The free ice cream is average and more geared towards families with kids.

    Minnie's Fried Chicken Sandwich Combo
    Tiffany J.

    I love the design and space of this restaurant. It gives you a nostalgic diner feel with clean and modern touches. I ordered the pimento honey heat sandwich and the pimento was delicious. As for a dirty soda, I ordered a thin Dave and the coconut cream with the Diet Coke was heavenly. You also get a sweet treat at the end, when we went it was s'mores soft serve and it was delicious! The staff was very nice, but it is self serve. We will definitely be back when we are in town again!

    Ron T.

    Minnie Bird greets you with a playful, retro-diner charm--bold pops of orange and red, custom hand-lettering, and a clean, counter-service setup with self-ordering kiosks. Yes, every combo or sandwich comes with a complimentary scoop of soft-serve--either classic vanilla or rotating nostalgic flavors like creamsicle.

The line was pretty long which gave me an indication that it was popular/good. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I ordered their Falafel bowl, with rice and a bunch of their available options. You are allowed to select 4 and then every topping after that is $1 per topping. This seems a bit extreme as they are NOT generous when adding your selected ingredients. I was expecting a much larger portion, but understand they are a business and have to manage their margins. The food itself was fine. The falafel were just ok, and had been sitting in a container, lacking the crispiness and freshness I am used to normally. For the extra options, everything tasted fine, I just felt skimped on the portions I was given. The highlight for me was the hot sauce that they offer. It was extremely flavorful and had a nice level of heat. I would buy that by the bottle if It was available. I think Falafill is worth a try, but you just have to manage your expectations. They do not come close to the traditional mediterranean restaurants I am used to visiting, but for mall food it's pretty good.

I wished I had ordered the curry -- it looked dark and rich and thick like pudding (not like a boxed curry). They also gave us a bonus piece of chicken karaage which was so large and crispy. I think I'll get the curry next time, or the ramen. We originally came because we were going to get a karaage sando, but get the curry.
