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!

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

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!

Chicken tenders with crinkle-cut fries
Matt Z.

We tried Minnie Bird for the first time. Ordering has two Kiosks and one register; when we stopped by Friday night there was a line out the door. Saturday just after 12 noon, had a much moore manageable line. Finding a table is VERY COMPETITIVE, most people spilt up and one person would wait for a table to open up and swoop in to grab it while the other people ordered food. In more agreeable weather there will be outdoor seating. We went with the fried chicken sandwich with the signature honey glaze and a chicken tenders classic style. I went with the cheese curds and my husband went with crinkle-cut fries. I also tried the dirty soda toasty marshmallow. The dirty sodas were created in a barista-like station with dozens of syrups to create the dirty soda. I found the honey glaze on the chicken too sweet, I liked the classic chicken tenders without the glaze. The chicken sandwich was served with cole slaw on the chicken breast in the bun, it proved to be very messy; there should be a supply of napkins at every table rather then just at the drink station. I also found the dirty soda too sweet but what was I thinking... Mr. Pibb, marshmallow, and cream. My husband went for the free soft-serve Ice-cream, but I was already on sugar overload.

Ice cream
Andrew P.

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.

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.

Minnie tender combo

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

We ordered mild because my husband doesn't like things too spicy (I love spicy foods) it came with a sauce we picked the buffalo sauce. When we got our order the tenders were definitely not mild.... Probably medium. They also gave us the 24k sauce so we had to exchange it for the buffalo sauce. Everything was great but the app automatically adds a tip... I only caught it because the total went from $14.99 to $19.99 and when I checked there was a $2 tip. So I removed it. They don't even bring your food to the table. So be aware if you're ordering on the app.

The first is the chicken sandwiches were both inedible because the chicken breast pieces were hard and undercooked. We ended up replacing the the tenders in the sandwiches and throwing out the chicken. Second the Mac and cheese tasted great a few weeks ago but today the sauce / flavor to macaroni ratio was way too high making the Mac and cheese also inedible. They really need quality control to prevent jn the future. I would have rated 1 star but I know they can do better so hoping they use this review to improve their chicken sandwiches and Mac and cheese. Will be getting only the tenders in the future.

I originally stopped by to pick up my couscous salad with chicken, but when I saw they were serving Aedni chai, I decided to add that on. It took about 10 minutes to prepare, so I stayed and enjoyed my lunch there. I love the variety of food and the perfect balance of spice they offer! However, it's not the most affordable option. For instance, the quinoa salad is delicious and healthy, but once you add chicken, the price skyrockets to $26, which feels excessive--especially since the portions seem to be getting smaller. Despite the pricing, I enjoyed both the salad and chai. It's a solid lunch option if you don't mind a bit of heat! Hopefully, they'll consider adjusting the prices in the future.

There's a little bit of a wait, but I get that. Also want to give a shoutout to the solid, ventilated takeout boxes. They don't get soggy, and they keep the crunch of the chicken on the drive back home! Ambiance: I can't speak to that because my husband went to pick up our food from this location, but as for the new HMart location, it's what one would expect from a food court situation except newer and shinier. (be forewarned that seating is somewhat limited in that HMart, especially if you go on a weekend.) Price: Prices are what they are these days, and while it feels a bit pricy for wings, it's definitely comparable to BWW/any other local dive. Plus, the wings are BIG. Overall, my husband has gone to get chicken from bb.q Chicken (which stands for "best of the best quality" chicken, he was told!) twice within 2 weeks, so I think that speaks for itself. Go and enjoy!

Our Experience was good, not great…read more We did some research about all of the local ice cream places and our kids picked Kurimu because it seemed to be the most unique. Initial impression wasn't great... The smell was really the main reason why. The shop itself definitely had a smell, I can't really describe what it was but it was not pleasant. There was one person working, he was polite but did not have much personality. Most of our questions were met with him telling us that we ordered "over there" as he points to the register. It just did not have a very welcoming energy. Only of our kids got ice cream as the flavors did not catch them like they had hoped it would. My Youngest got a coconut ice cream with waffle cone (she loved it), it was a subtle coconut flavor but very refreshing. My oldest daughter got a match drink w boba, hers was also good but not her favorite. I ended up getting the soft serve mix (Tofu/Black Sesame) which was definitely unique and I did enjoy it but no one else i was with did. After checking out, we were offered free stickers which was a nice gesture and I talked about their Japanese Car theme which seemed to liven up the man working momentarily. My family was not impressed but I enjoyed the experience. Very unique compared to what we are used to seeing. I would most likely return, but I am not confident my family would follow.

It was good, but I personally didn't think it tasted much like tiramisu. That said, there were so many other flavors that caught my eye, so I'm excited to come back and try more. My sister ordered the jasmine milk tea, and she really enjoyed it. She especially liked that it wasn't overly sweet. Overall, this is a fun spot with unique flavors and a great selection. We'll definitely be back to try more!
