I ordered the tenders mild and my husband ordered the sandwich combo supahot. We found the chicken had the perfect crunch and the chicken was moist and soft.. the fries had a nice crunch with a dusting of spice, the mac and cheese was not what you would normally expect from a Mac and cheese, but it had a cheesy flavor with a black pepper kick. The staff were friendly and provided an accurate wait time for fresh food.

Me and my friends walked in late about closing time with food we didn't order there to sit. The workers were so nice. They let us sit and gave us free fries. We felt really for doing this but they were so kind. I would really come back here again they have amazing service. Also their milkshakes are amazing.

Chicken is juicy, fries are crispy but soft inside, and the flavor is very good. Have to say that their hot is actually HOT. Not unbearable but hotter that what other hot chicken places call their “hot” . Sorry if it doesn’t make sense. Over all good

Byrd’s Hot Chicken is a welcome surprise to Schaumburg, 100% HALAL and amazingly delicious! We were greeted friendly by Oman the minute we stepped in. They kept their menu simple to perfect every item they offer. We tried the sandwich special #1 hot with fries and slaw. There’s a flavor for everyone as they have 5 different spice levels from Plain to “Supa Hot”! Everything was made fresh, neatly labeled and carefully packaged. Other unique sides I’m going to try next time is Byrd’s best fried green beans and their Mac n Cheese! They give generous side portions. The crinkle cut fries were hot and the cole slaw chilled and fresh. The sandwich on that fluffy brioche bun was 10/10 for sure. It’s fresh chicken not frozen and you can definitely taste the difference. The breading is light and crispy with the 24k special sauce adding a nice finishing touch. The place was very organized and very clean. They are definitely a game changer when it comes to chicken sandwiches. We really enjoyed our meal and will make this our go to place for the BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH AND TENDERS IN THE AREA! The chicken was super flavorful and the light breading was nice and crispy. This place doesn’t disappoint!

Blown away by my lunch! I was concerned that it would not be enough. The potato salad was great, the seasoned fries spectator, and the tender Medium sammich with coleslaw perfect! Extra sauce was perfect. So glad to have stopped in. I shall return!

Very delicious chicken restaurant. We got the tender basket in the medium heat flavor. Was fairly spicy so I don’t know how anybody would eat the super hot. But they were very delicious. Also, two pieces was more than enough as the portions are very large. The basket came with a drink, french fries and potato salad. Also very nice and friendly service. The chicken does have a slight Mediterranean or Indian flavor to it, which is delicious.

The workers there were so nice and patient. The burgers, fries and sauce were really tasty! I would recommend everyone in the area to try this place out! The price was very cheap and affordable compared to other halal burger places!

Plant based sandwich with hot rub - the patty was very crispy and remained crispy till the last bite. Amazing flavors with hot rub, pickle and Coleslaw. Highly recommend this for veggie lovers. Chicken sandwich - chicken tender was crispy and the fresh buns complemented it with softness. Coleslaw was fresh. Chicken Nuggets - could taste freeze burn in the nuggets but freshly fried and spiced like any other fast food place! Great service. We were promptly informed of the 2 sandwiches for 10 offer since we hadn’t paid attention to the poster. I wish they had bite size veggie nuggets to enjoy with the hot sauce!! Both chicken and plant based sandwiches were served in the same to-go box which was bummer since I don’t like cross contamination of meat and vegetarian food. Also, eating in styrofoam box while dining in was bit strange.
