Chicken is amazing. Even more amazing with the honey butter . If the weather is nice enough, ask to be seated outside . They have a really nice patio (with heaters, for chillier nights).

Amanda Cooper

Taco Tuesday - 2 fried chicken tacos , beer , & tequila shot for $12! Pimento mac is a perfect side or the Greek orzo salad if in season. Make sure to sign up for Sunday Dinner Club's email list too!

Can't go wrong with the O.G. My personal fave. They have a lunch box special on Tues-Fri. Honey butter sandwich and a side for $10 or come on a Wednesday for the 10 for 10 wing special .

Get the 4-piece combo. Comes with honey butter and mini cornbread . The kale slaw is excellent and soda fountain is awesome (no sugar free options). Service is incredibly friendly and efficient.

Sofia Drotts

The fried chicken and the biscuits are to die for. Also try as many of the cane sugar sodas as possible because they are all amazing! One of the best places to eat I've ever been to, 100% recommend.

It may not serve your momma's fried chicken—with bones, skin, et al—but Honey Butter has been making swaths of Chicagoans feel like kids again when they dip their birds in that honey butter . Read more

Diana Friess

The fried chicken is the star of this spot, but the supporting cast of their signature honey butter , biscuits , sides, cocktails & desserts make this a must visit! Lunch or Dinner spot w/ outside patio

Mary Alesandrini

9.5 - The standard honey butter fried chicken sandwich on a biscuit , sweet tea , buffalo chicken sandwich , and the overall atmosphere/outdoor seating was out of this world.

Amy Graff

What a gem from the Sunday Dinner Club. Unsure what's better -- the crispy brined chicken 'n biscuits or the incredible sides like sweet potato salad and thai green curry creamed corn . Grab a cookie !

Andrew Dobney

Came here with some friends and ordered pretty much everything on the menu. Nothing disappointed. The chicken was perfectly done. Loved the “sauce flight.” The pimento mac & cheese was also good.

Greg Shea

That was fantastic. The chicken is amazing, of course, but I was really impressed with the sides of Mac and cheese and the sweet potato salad . I tried the Avondale Ginger Mule cocktail and loved that

With thousand island dressing and sauerkraut on a pumpernickel bun , this sandwich is so spot-on that you almost actually think that there's corned beef on it, instead of fried chicken . Read more

Eve Benton

Got the chicken and kale slaw for carry-out. Good was very good and the service was equally as impressive. Even though it was carry-out, they asked if I'd been there before, made recommendations.

When you are craving for fried chicken - this is a great Chicago offering. Tasty Chicken , the Honey butter on rolls, the sides of Mac and Cheese-simply stated AWESOME! Pick & Delivery available too.

Redeye Chicago

This famous chicken joint now serves mouth-watering fried chicken tacos you won't want to miss. Try one of three specials every Tuesday, which include tacos , Tecate , and a shot of Corazon for $12. Read more

When Honey Butter Fried Chicken opened, it was hard to imagine a more delicious sequence of words, until they announced this mouth-watering combination: fried chicken fried rice . Read more

Illi Rebolledo

I got the chicken sandwich and it was amazing. The coleslaw inside added a nice savory crunch. The Mac and cheese is also great. It has a little spice that really adds dimension.

Xinnie

Finally got to try HBFC! Had the classic fried chicken , nom nom! The honey butter is yum! Service is top notch too! Wish the location isn’t so outta the way for me.

R G - Chicagoland

Chicken and honey butter was amazing. Seating is limited and ur gonna have to share with others so I hope ur social. If u are social it's perfect. Wish the corn bread was bigger. I'll be coming back

Chicagoist

Attention chicken lovers: Chicago's best fried chicken joint now offers home delivery Wednesday through Sunday. Top off your night of Netflix with butter slattered fried chicken and mac 'n cheese . Read more

Jesse Gill

4 piece was awesome. The Kim chi was surprisingly tasty. Pimento Mac and cheese is also a must.

PureWow

Maybe you can resist a plate of fried chicken that’s served with little honeycomb-shaped biscuits and a tub of sweet butter to slather on every bite… But we sure can’t. Read more

Dieter Kiesel

Have you ever dreamed of putting honey & butter on fried chicken ? Well , the owners of HoneyButter are making your dreams a reality. Added bonus: boneless everything, except the leg of course!

Sharif Nassr

Everything was perfect. My favorite take on Southern Cuisine in Chicago so far. This place isn't hyped. It is the hype. In the mood to cheat? You're sinfully welcome.

Margaret Pak

Go with a group to try everything - sides, wings , and that amazing chocolate toffee cookie !! Awesome backyard patio , too!!

Honey Butter Fried Chicken's sides are phenomenal. Their chicken is juicy and crispy , and the honey butter adds a surprising layer of sweetness. Read more

Mary Elizabeth

This chicken was beyond finger licking. I'm definitely going back! The bartender was great and their lemonade cocktail is fantastic. Chill place and yummy food :)

Adam Webb

Absolutely ethereal. The chicken is perfectly fried and not at all greasy (until the obligatory application of the butter, and then it's awesome).

Jonathan Ferrera

The OG is one of the best fried chickens or sandwiches I've ever had. However, it is the best fried chicken sandwich to me.

Michael Morgan

I loved the Buffalo Mac & Cheese . It's a one-dish with pasta on the bottom and crispy bits of chicken and breading on top

Cat Gao

Going to disagree with the other tips here and say skip the sides in favor for extra corn muffins and honey butter on said muffins . A+, would eat again.

Anthony R

The fried chicken was for sure their signature, the Mac and cheese was too rich/ childish. Smashed Potatoes were real potatoes so that's good, gumbo was alright! Tip: Less sides, more chicken !

Mercedes

The Southern Derby is a great cocktail and the paprika in it makes it a great pairing with the chicken . Oh and don't forget to put the butter on the chicken !

Caitlin White

2-piece chicken , chicken fat gravy mashed potatoes , and collard greens . Succulent, juicy, explosion of flavor honey butter chicken sandwich .

Chicago Tribune

Chefs take bite-size pieces of juicy fried chicken and heap it on top of their regular mac with a spicy buffalo sauce added to the mix. Read more

Patrick LeMaster

Awesome place! The fried chicken with the butter spread on it was awesome! The mashed potatoes & gravy were great too!!

Jae Lim

While their chicken is what has top billing, their attention to detail in such things as their pickles and appetizers make their meals truly stand out.

Stan Tran

Worth the 15 min walk from the Belmont blue line stop and then some!!! Easily the best sit-down chicken joint in Chicago!

Julia Park

I'm a brunch lover, but at HBFC, I'd just go with the sandwiches or the actual Fried Chicken ! Brunch is good, but the chicken better!!

Jackie McWilliams

Food was AMAZING. Great attitudes, great music , nice atmosphere

Veronica Galvez

Very delicious chicken . The Mac and cheese portion is a little small, but worth the wait! Definitely a must try.

D Browne

Holy crap I am in love with the Avondale ginger mule . Tastes like a ginger molasses cookie .

Eater

Although the chicken is the star, the side dishes are also making waves.

Joseph Bridges

Easily some of the best chicken you will ever eat.

William Quiñones

Chicken is the star obviously and shine bright like a diamond. Cane sugar sodas are an attraction at least for me.

Greg Ackerman

The original chicken sandwich was incredible. So was the mac n cheese , kale slaw and dessert .

Roxana V

Lime vinaigrette on the kale & cabbage slaw was so good! And wow - don't miss the spicy brownie = amazing!

Time Out Chicago

The honey butter lives up to the hype. And the back patio in the summer can't be beat.

Ethan Adams

Get the OG sandwich . Most amazing chicken sandwich you'll ever have. Highly recommend!!
