Byrd's Hot Chicken
Byrd’s Hot Chicken stands out for crispy wings, juicy tenders, and the popular Crispy Byrd Wrap, with regulars especially loving the 2-for-$11.99 sandwich deal and welcoming service. The clean, art-filled restaurant has a friendly atmosphere, but online orders have drawn complaints about long waits, inconsistent portions, undercooked chicken, and occasional feather or odor concerns.
What 280 diners keep saying
verbatim, from Google
“Easily put, best deals and sandwich’s. If I was caught trying to avoid the rain or just wondering around the city and needed to have dinner their 2 for 11.99 special always made it happen. The gentlemen that always took my order made me feel at home and welcome. Thank you so much”
“We tried the Halal Chicken Burger at Byrd's Hot Chicken. The burger tasted good, but it wasn't particularly memorable or mouthwatering. The burger came with fries, and they were the highlight of the meal. They were crispy, flavorful, and tasted really good. We would definitely order the fries again on our next visit. Overall, it was a good experience. The burger was decent, but the fries were the standout item.”
“Don't waste your time, A huge disappointment. I like many others, have gotten the buy one get one free offer and the pieces of chicken were smaller than my thumb. Actually had to go and get other dinner because we were still hungry. There was virtually no chicken in the box. Feel like we were totally scammed.”
“They don’t care about the food hygiene at all. Whenever I have ordered chicken wings online, almost every time, there were feathers on some of the wings. Also the taste is very average.”
“food came out crispy and delectable in a respectable amount of time. customer service was great!”
“I visited this restaurant 2 times, I loved wings, crispy byrd wrap and juicy tenders. I will be again to this place. Highly recommended!”
