See why we're in the spotlight...! ✨

Got the #2 meal. Came with fries, pickles, potato salad, toast, and a side sauce. Went with the Supahot heat level. The chicken was crunchy and juicy. The Supahot is hot, but manageable. It has good flavor. Really like that it comes with potato salad. It's great. And don't skip the toast. It's super good. Overall, a ... great hot chicken place. I will come back. Read More

This was one of those hidden gems you don't wavy to miss. Service was great, the food was excellent and I plan to go back with a group of friends. It's a quiet local spot that deserves praise.

Friendly service, simple menu. Ordered #1 combo mild. It still had a good kick with the mild. When I'm in the area, I'll stop by again.

Honestly one of the best spicy chicken sandwiches ever. The portions are huge. The food is cooked to order so it is hot and fresh. The restaurant is nothing special inside, but the food is worth the trip!!

Crispy, Hot, Delicious chicken. Must Try. The toasted slice along with fried chicken was a first for us & blew us away. Chicken tasted great. Fries were nice & crispy as well. And Nuggets were excellent. We would definitely try again. Suggestion: Please open a shop in Toronto. You won't regret it :)

The service was prompt. The food was good overall. I would have liked more chicken on the sandwich. I liked all the spices and flavors. The spice level was appropriate for hot. Overall, I think that With places like this around why is anybody going to chick fillet across the street. This food is way better

Supahot was just that! I had the tender combo Supahot and my wife had Happy Byrd's plain. Food was excellent. Tenders were big, meaty and moist with tasty coating and topped with Supahot spice! Dipped in 24K sauce was just the ticket to fill my craving. Sandy's food was great finished it in short order. Fried green ... beans aka Byrd's nest were outstanding and I recommend them. Can't wait to get there again and maybe the next visit they will have those strawberry shakes! Riaz our host was outstanding and took the time to spend with us learning where we came from and gave us a little bit of his story too. Staff was all around great and friendly! Well done Byrd's.
