Honey Butter Fried Chicken

“Amazing honey butter chicken.”

Amazing honey butter chicken! Such a cool spot! The cornbread is def a highlight, and the staff was really friendly (Serena) and welcoming :) Heard a lot of hype about this place, and it is legit! Mashed potato’s are first class, Mac and cheese is sweet and spicy- first class! Def will come back next trip to the City!

“Had the 2 piece meal with Mac and cheese.”

Had the 2 piece meal with Mac and cheese. The chicken was quite good, though more chewy than I prefer, and the Mac and cheese was good with little bread crumb situations mixed in. Service and vibe was super friendly and chill.

“Overall it was good.”

Overall it was good. Chicken was flavorful with a crunch, Mac and cheese was a nice twang, and the biscuit was a cute addition. Only thing missing was a spicy dipping sauce but that's just me. Spent just over $20 and wouldn't mind doing it again

“I was craving some chicken so we came here.”

I was craving some chicken so we came here. The place was packed and loud but in a good way, everyone seemed happy to be there. The smell of fried chicken hit right when we walked in. The guy at the counter was super helpful, got our order quickly. I got the 2-piece chicken with honey butter, two corn muffins and a side of mashed potatoes, one drumstick and boneless breast. Honestly, great choice. The chicken came out hot, crispy, and golden. First bite... wow. Super juicy, tender all the way through, not dry at all. You could taste and feel that fresh-fried flavor. The honey butter melted over the muffin, I didn’t expect to love that combo so much, but it just worked. The mashed potatoes on the side tied everything together, creamy and smooth. Everything on the plate was just pure comfort food done right. No fancy tricks, just really good chicken. Totally hit the spot.

I had such an amazing experience at Honey Butter Fried Chicken! The staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive, making sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. The restaurant itself is clean, well-kept, and has a fun, inviting vibe that makes dining here even better. And the food—absolutely incredible! The fried chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and honestly the best I’ve ever had in my life. A must-visit spot for comfort food lovers!

“Great chicken and corn muffins.”

Great chicken and corn muffins! Crispy and well seasoned. The honey butter sauce and honey buffalo are excellent sauces too, would recommend those at the minimum. The 8 piece with 8 corn muffins was the right amount of food for two hungry guys. I’d come back to try the brunch too, wish we could get a biscuit for dinner.

“We went after CPS summer school.”

We went after CPS summer school. It was nice and empty on a Tuesday afternoon. Plenty of indoor seating --on this hot summer day. The food was delicious. Kale arugula salad was tasty, topped with chicken strips. Loved the tata fries and mashed potatoes. The mac and cheese was fine, nothing too exciting, but tasty. (The color throws me off a little) The service was great. Very attentive, friendly and helpful.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve had my eye on *Honey Butter Fried Chicken* for a while now, and despite the not-so-convenient location, I finally made the trip—and wow, it was *so* worth it. I’m usually not a fan of mixing sweet and savory, but their honey butter chicken sandwich totally changed my mind. The chicken was perfectly crispy, juicy inside, and that honey butter glaze? Rich, slightly sweet, and buttery in a way that just melts into the crunch—it’s seriously addictive. The fries deserve their own shoutout: golden, hot, and incredibly crispy on the outside with a soft, fluffy center—easily some of the best I’ve had from any chicken joint. The place has your classic chicken shop vibe—simple, no-frills, but clean and buzzing with energy. If you’ve been debating the drive, don’t hesitate. Go.

“Have been many times over the years, and HBFC is reliable fried chicken.”

Have been many times over the years, and HBFC is reliable fried chicken. Great space, super friendly staff, nice drink list as well. Sides are all solid, pimento Mac a standout, and while the fries are perhaps a touch thick, they are great vehicles for the sauces, which all are good. The chicken, whether on a sandwich or in strips itself is well breaded and juicy. Out of all the sandwiches, I think the OG is the best with nice slaw and sauce. Of course, the muffins and honey butter are a must every time. I don’t think anything here is knock-your-socks off outside the honey butter, but the reliability of the tight menu is a reason to come back time and time again 🙂

“Great experience here at HBFC.”

Great experience here at HBFC. We made this a snack stop on the way from O'Hare to downtown Chicago to kill some time before hotel check-in. No parking lot but we were able to find street parking along Roscoe Street. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The space is very well-maintained. They have a good variety of main and side food options. We decided to stick with the tenders, fries, mac and cheese and corn muffins. That family-sized combo, along with two soft drinks cost about $63. The food was brought out to us in about 10 minutes...surprisingly quick, although it was fairly empty during our visit (Monday at around 12pm). Everything was really really good...very flavorful. The tenders were great, the fries (maybe double-fried?) were excellent and the corn muffins with the honey butter were amazing. Super satisfying meal...especially after a morning of traveling. There is a small station off to the side with plates, utensils, napkins, carry-out boxes, and water, if needed. All staff we encountered were welcoming, friendly and patient.
