    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Great fried chicken. Perfectly cooked, The wraps were delicious with the honey sauce. I went for the monthly drink special, which I would definitely skip next time. It was just too many flavors combined in a drink. Great chicken.

    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!

    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.

    All the sauces

    We visited with our 3 year old for lunch. This is the perfect spot for kids in terms of eats, chicken tenders and fries strawberry lemonade and free soft serve. How can you go wrong with that? (But no Kids meal listed so you gotta share with your kid). The restaurant has a super cute aesthetic. When we visited, every table was packed. We were able to get a table eventually. However it was never cleaned off, and I didn't notice anyone cleaning the tables off. Just keep in mind, if that kinda thing bothers you with crumbs on the table. The food was great. Our chicken tenders came piping hot. Each tender had great flavor and were crispy. They had an ample amount of chicken in each tender, not just a bunch of breading. The garlic bread slice was BIG and also tasted flavorful. The fries were simple but a great vessel for sauces. The coleslaw was also fresh, not overly sweet. Unlike other tender places that limit you on sauces, this place really shines because of the sauce selection. We tried every sauce and each one was high quality and full of flavor. Could not find a bad sauce. The drink selection was also great. We didn't get a dirty soda. However, the regular fountain soda had good carbonation and the strawberry lemonade was loved by our 3 year old. He loves tart lemonade so this was perfect!! The combo meal is probably the best value because it comes with fries and a drink. Substituting a dirty soda is the same price (+2.99) as just buying one, so it seems better just to take the regular soda the meal comes with. After all that, we tried the free soft serve ice cream. It was good for being "free" and also nice portion size. We got vanilla and chocolate strawberry swirl. The chocolate strawberry swirl was very tasty! Would definitely come back and we preferred it to other "big name" chicken tender places in the area. Excited to try those big sandwiches next!

    This restaurant is newer to the Chicago Burbs and located in a plaza right next to Buffalo Wild Wings. The parking lot was full when we got there for an early dinner but thankfully there wasn't many people in line but still every table was taken. We ordered on the screen and were given a ticket number that they'll call out with our drinks. I got the Minnie bird sandwich with a side of cheese curds and the dreamsicle drink. I was excited to try dirty sodas since I hear they're super popular in Utah. But I was a bit underwhelmed, maybe I just got the wrong one? But the bottom tasted like watered down Fanta and the top tasted like cream, and mixed together it didn't taste much of anything. The sandwich itself was huge, you get all of the chicken breast, with the coleslaw and Minnie sauce. It was super juicy and full of flavor. The cheese curds were my favorite, it's been a while since I've had cheese curds that I actually enjoyed that wasn't too breaded, I didn't even need ranch sauce to dip it with. Which by the way if you wanted all the sauce, they had a whole counter of sauces for you to pick from. I opted to try everything as is for this go around and I was really happy. I think the only let down for this experience was that tables were never really cleaned so every time a table gets up it just sits but people sit down because they need tables to eat since there really is such limited seating. Overall a great experience, I'm excited to come back and try other menu items.

    5 tender combo
    Monty W.

    Had the five tender combo at Minnie Bird. My My how busy it was on a Saturday night. It's only like two kiosks for ordering only, so the queue was 20 deep, and the line moved slow. I liked the sauce station and free ice cream with meal is awesome. The ice cream was ok, cocoa flavor and vanilla soft serve. The portion size of the combo is pretty decent, we shared a 5 tender combo amongst two of us. Strawberry lemonade was yummy. I'd try again another time perhaps when I'm in the area. Good concept, I think the ice cream and dirty sodas will get people in the door.

    loveee the food def recommend trying them out 10000/10. Things i recommend from them are the spicy…read moreboneless wings if you love spicy food. Another rec is the Gangnam boneless wings and their rice cakes are very good as well as their rice and the fries. so far that's all I've tried and it's all been amazing hasn't disappointed me. Service wise the staff are friendly and attentive no bad things to say about them. Ambience wise very calm vibe I like the setup.

    Food: Amazing. I was surprised by how much I enjoy the cheesling flavor! Good crunch and good sized…read morechicken pieces, too. Service: Reliable and gives you exactly what you order. 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!
