Best Hot chicken Restaurant in Town

Andy Ebert

Hands down one of the best chicken sandwiches I may have ever tried! I got the fries and potato salad. I typically am not a big fan of crinkle cut fries but these were incredible! Perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The potato salad was well do as well! I will definitely be back!

A Hot Chicken Experience That Exceeds Every Expectation Byrd's Hot Chicken just opened in Libertyville, and honestly? I'm already thinking about when I can go back. The second you walk in, you notice how clean and welcoming it is. The whole place has this modern, energetic vibe with good music playing in the ... background. But what really made the difference was the manager JZ. He was actually there, greeting people, checking on tables, making sure everyone was happy. It felt personal in a way that's pretty rare these days. The staff was awesome too—friendly without being over the top, and they genuinely seemed to care. Before they even started cooking, they asked about our spice tolerance and made everything to our liking. That kind of attention to detail? It matters. And here's something huge for the Muslim community: everything at Byrd's is 100% halal certified. They're certified by Halal Monitoring Services (HMS) Getbyrds, and they use hand Zabiha halal chicken Byrd's Hot Chicken. Their chicken is sourced from halal-certified suppliers, and they're careful about their oil, utensils, and prep areas to maintain purity and compliance. Finding a place that serves authentic hot chicken that's completely halal? That's a game-changer. This is going to be a go-to spot for families looking for quality halal food they can trust. And the food... look, we went in saying we'd just try a couple things. We ended up eating way more than we planned because we couldn't stop. Everything is made fresh to order, and you can really taste the difference. The classic hot chicken sandwich is killer—crispy, juicy chicken on a soft brioche bun with coleslaw, pickles, and their signature sauce. It's messy in the best way, and since they adjusted the heat to what we wanted, it was perfect. The Byrd Bomb is ridiculous (in a good way). Chopped chicken tenders on Texas toast, piled over fries, covered in cheese, coleslaw, pickles, and sauce. It's a lot, but trust me, you'll finish it. Their wings are really good too—you can get them tossed in Buffalo, BBQ, or Mango Habanero. The sides actually hold their own—the fries are crispy and well-seasoned, and even the potato salad surprised me. Everything came out hot and fresh. It's not often you find a place that gets everything right—the food, the service, the whole atmosphere. But Byrd's does. Whether you're a hot chicken person or just want really good comfort food, this place delivers. Libertyville just got lucky. Get there before the word spreads too much. Oh, and do yourself a favor—order the chicken tenders. I'm serious. Once you try them, you're going to forget about everything else on the menu. They're that good. Golden, perfectly seasoned, juicy... honestly some of the best I've had. You've been warned. Highly recommend!! Read More

Saw this place before they opened and seen they recently opened so decided to come try it out. I ordered the mac n cheese byrd bowl and it was very tasteful to say the least. For the chicken on top you can choose any flavor of heat/sauce and they also add a generous amount of their “24k sauce” on top of it all. ... Service was great, the guy who took my order was very friendly. There was a little longer than usual wait for the food, but it’s because it was made fresh. Definitely recommend this place for anyone, they have a lot of options for food and desserts Read More
