CityBird Tenders

★★★★☆ 4.1 (222) • $

"Service was great. I can't complain. I liked the chicken sandwich and tenders and the children really enjoyed it. Oh, the condiment choices are a huge plus as wellI didn't rate it higher because it wouldn't be my first or second choice for tenders or a sandwich, though I did like it."

CM Chicken - Korean Fried Chicken

★★★★★ 4.7 (167) • $$

"Wowww im kind of upset Ive waited this long to come here :( The wings were absolutely delicious!! Wish we had more room for other things because we only tried the garlic soy & cheese monster wings, garlic soy is sweet with a little bit of heat and the cheese monster has a yummy cheese powder coating with this Delightful cheese sauce that i liked so much i dipped both flavors in !! They are hands down the best wings Ive ever eaten. Definitely understand why CM chicken was rated #1 in Ohio. Glad I'm only about 35 - 40 minutes away from this gem... I will definitely be returning & I will definitely be ordering the same things I ordered this time plus some other things I'm curious about!"

3 Ladies Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4 (173) • $$

"Was looking for Pho by the airport and not many options so I thought I would give 3 Ladies a try. The restaurant is located in a strip mall and has a run down interior but that's not why I came.Started with pot stickers which were semi fried and had a good taste. Chili oil was provided along with vinegar dipping sauce which came in a plastic take away pot.The Combination Pho was a good size and had plenty of meat and noodles within. Bean spouts, limes, Thai basil and jalapeños came on the side. It tasted good but comparing to other Pho I have had it was ok.Considering 3 Ladies is in northern Kentucky by the airport would recommend giving it a try."

Galactic Fried Chicken

★★★★★ 4.5 (128)

"Don't be fooled by its outdated exterior and odd theme--Galactic Fried Chicken is hands down one of the BEST restaurants out there if you're looking for a fried chicken spot that has both vegetarian AND gluten free options! Their jackfruit bites are out of this world (pun intended), especially with a hefty side of ranch, and their loaded fries are delicious as well. The entire place is great for those with celiac.I don't recommend their deviled eggs, however.Fantastic spot, super nice owner!"

Bourbon House Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.1 (111) • $$

"My husband and I barely get time to go out alone so today when we finally did we wanted to try something new. Bourbon house was his choice because we sampled the pizza while at Best of NKY. This pizza does not disappoint! It's so good. We were there as soon as they opened (actually a few minutes early) and we were welcomed right in. Our server was very fast and answered all of our questions. We sat at a booth but the bar area even looked like it would be a nice place to come and have a slice. I got a house salad, we shared some garlic knots and we got a large half and half deep dish pizza (one half was bbq chicken and the other was 3 meats). The food was great and we will for sure be coming back again!!"

Brau Haus

★★★★☆ 4.2 (95) • $$

"Don't be fooled by the name of the restaurant- the menu offers a variety of salads, seafood, sandwiches, German dishes, and their much-talked-about fried chicken.I ordered the half chicken basket with a side salad, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and dinner rolls. The chicken was crispy and lightly seasoned and the sides were good. Outdoor dining on the deck. There are minimal parking places so be prepared to walk a short distance. Suggest reservations."

Joella's Hot Chicken

★★★★☆ 3.7 (118)

"Disclaimer: I ordered here from UberEats so I'm not docking any points for warmth of the food and going strictly on taste.I was feeling like a fatboi and got the 2 jumbo tenders with fire-in-da-hole sauce & waffles as well as the fries. Firstly, I want to say I absolutely love spicy food and all my friends said the sauce would leave your mouth burning so I was excited... anyways...So, the food came and I went straight for the chicken and was disappointed in the heat. It tasted like a medium sauce but, the chicken did taste really good and the tenders were a good size. The waffles? Sooo good. They were soft and buttery and my mouth is watering thinking about it. The fries were also exceptional and I don't really eat fries often... usually let my friends or girlfriend have the majority but I ate most this time.Overall, I'm giving them a 4* based on taste and what I know it could be. I will go in person next time to ensure I get that fire in da hole sauce!"

Waldo's Chicken and Beer

★★★★☆ 3.7 (92) • $$

"We visited here on a Saturday evening and around dinner time. We watch college football games on their big TVs. The atmosphere is a five out of five for sure. I love the sports bar. Service was OK. I had to go get my own drinks a couple times which was kind of annoying, but I don't mind doing it, they're really crowded but they weren't really crowded so. Food was just OK it's a two. I'd say the best thing about this place is the atmosphere and the location. Chicken tenders were just subpar to be honest I wish I could say better but they weren't chicken biscuits were the best thing I will say they were the only great thing that we had."

Richie's Chicken & Soul

★★★★☆ 4.3 (66) • $

"I have driven past Richie's Chicken & Soul literally hundreds of times. NEVER again will I just drive by! Today, I was in the mood for some good fried chicken but wanted to find a place that would deliver to me without charging me double for delivery. I had heard good things about Richie's over the past 3 years living on the West Side of Cincinnati so I figured I would check to see if they would deliver. And they did!!The chicken was fried crisp, nice crunchy coating and the spicy was indeed spicy and very flavorful! The spice was infused throughout the chicken breast as well so you weren't left with bland chicken after the breading was gone. I will definitely stop in next time I drive by and it is nice to know there is a delivery option as well!"

Chicken Head's

★★★★★ 4.7 (47)

"Omg. The best 'fast food' chicken spot I've ever experienced in the US (Royal Castle in Trinidad is forever #1). This chicken was sensational! Juicy all the way through. Real chicken. Well seasoned! I loved the delicious waffle with the cinnamon ribbon running through. I cannot wait to come back to Ohio to enjoy this restaurant again!The Cajun tator tots were also amazing. I'd skip the Hawaiian rolls and plain waffle fries next time. Definitely get seasoning on the waffle fries. Oh and the cookies!!!! YUM!!!Its pickup only so the perfect meal for game or movie night!!"

CityBird Tenders

★★★★☆ 4 (56) • $

"I first learned about CityBird from eating at their Over the Rhine location, so glad they have this location now as it's right by my work/house and is a larger restaurant.The branding of CityBird is great! Modern and pleasing design on the inside. A variety of seating on the inside with options for outdoor seating as well. The main thing they serve is Chicken Tenders. Before everyone complains and says "why another chicken tender place" this place is DIFFERENT. They have the superior tender in my opinion. They offer tender meals, sandwiches, and salads. Their fries are covered with Parmesan cheese and parsley. The sauces are made in house daily and you can tell when you taste the sauce that it's made fresh with care! They offer 7 different sauces I've had almost all of them and you can't go wrong with any of them honestly. I love their city sauce and ranch the most! The hot honey is very good as well.On to the tenders, today for lunch I got the large tender meal with fries and a fountain coke. The tenders were just like every previous time I've been here; PERFECT. The breading to chicken ratio is immaculate - there's no "gross" or fatty parts on their chicken unlike other places. The tenders are perfectly seasoned and moist. I could eat them without the sauce but the sauce just adds to the experience. The fries are also insanely tasty; the Parmesan and parsley level them up from just a basic fry and make you wanna clear your plate pretty quickly. The service is always great and fast at this location - It was prime time during lunch rush and I walked right in, placed my order, got my fountain drink, waited less than 5 minutes and my name was called and I was on my way. If you have the choice try to dine in to get the best experience, but even to-go I have still been impressed.Definitely give this place a try! You won't regret it."

Joella’s Hot Chicken - Hamburg

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (70) • $$

"The food was very good. I was glad it was more than your traditional chicken sandwich. The garlic parm fries were very tasty."

Greenwich Pita And Grill

★★★★★ 4.5 (31)

"The grilled chicken burger is one of the best things I have ever eaten. It is not a chicken breast, they grind the chicken there and add these magical spices, then you eat it alllll! Yum! The Nicest people own this grill, too. Very clean, too."

CityBird Tenders Beechmont

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (52)

"An absolutely perfect opening. Anderson has been patiently waiting for City Bird to open for months! It's finally here y'all! In the rain, the manager/owner was out talking to each and every car in the drive through, and there was a lot! He was SO kind, so funny and overall made our stop wonderful. I'm a huge fan of the OTR location and fell in love with City Bird down there. As the Eagle's sister store, you can bet this chicken is amazing. On the smaller side but once you know what you're getting into, there's no going back. Y'all can quote me on this: best fries in existence. They have a perfect mix of sugary/salty/parmesan herb topping. These fries are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Fresca is perfectly fresh and the Lemon Thyme Ranch dipping sauce is the cherry on top. Man, take all my money City Bird!!"

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

★★★★☆ 3.9 (30)

"Opening Day of Canes gave me a solid 5 stars and I hope to keep it that way! Unintentionally was one of the first 100, so it was fun to see the excitement from the managers and staff. I know it won't always be this upbeat but they did a great job including Cincinnati treasures like Mr. Redlegs and the UC Bearcat. I love, that before they even opened, they cut a $500 check to League for Animal Welfare. They're more than just chicken, which is why they're deserving of a solid 5 stars.The interior screams Anderson pride. Turpin, McNick, Anderson and more are all represented inside. It certainly has a modern hometown feel. Mix matched chairs, booths and outdoor seating is pretty cool. As for the chicken, it's not set apart from other Canes. Could it be a tad more flavorful? Sure, but that's what canes sauce is for. I enjoy their bread, cole slaw and sweet tea. If they can keep their fries crunchy, I'll be a happy yelper!"

Tender Towne

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (41) • $

"It's kind of silly to hear everyone complaining because Tender Town portions aren't what they once were. I had their Buffalo wrap meal for the first time today and it was a tasty lunch at a fair $10.99. No, this wrap wasn't big enough for me to make it into 2 meals. But it was hot, tasted good, and the employees were friendly."

The Bourbon Bayou Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.9 (26)

"Hubby and I visited Bourbon Boyou Bistro on a slow Wednesday afternoon. After trying the fabulous Bourbon Chicken at the owners previous location in Xenia we were thrilled to see they landed in out hometown! We walked in expecting to take an order togo. (Remember the terrible small booths when it was Foys?) But we were pleasantly surprised to find tables and chairs in a nice open space. We ordered at the counter and I got a seat while hubby got the food. I ordered the Bourbon chicken on a sub sandwich and hubby ordered the Bourbon chicken with two sides - a spicy rice and Mac and Cheese. We also got a side of corn bread and a couple drinks. Everything was fantastic and the menu was bigger than in Xenia but the star is still the Bourbon chicken unless you count the sweet cake they call cornbread!"

Pollo Shaddai

★★★★★ 4.8 (16)

"I called ahead and placed a takeout order for a burrito with extra refried beans no rice and a single drumstick because I wanted to check out their fried chicken, not really expecting too much because I honestly I've never seen a combination Mexican fried Chicken joint. When I got there they were pretty busy and the smell was incredibly powerful, appetizing to say the least! the gentleman who took my order told me it would have been like 10 minutes and I definitely waited longer than that, but it wasn't a terrible wait. Got home and dove in...the burrito was okay, refried black beans which is one of my favorites and a decent amount of filling but nothing really great in the flavor department, the steak was some of the chewier fattier cuts which is always annoying for me. the fried chicken though is actually great! Had a super light fry like almost to the point that I couldn't tell if it was roasted or fried, it was barely just a bit of coating and super crispy skin. I'll definitely go back for more of that!"

Richies

★★★★☆ 3.9 (23)

"Between Ritchie's, Indy's, and Grimes, this place is part of a family of fast food restaurants. Or, should I say chicken wing specialty restaurants? That's exactly what they're all known for.This is the newest of the family of restaurants. It's located on New Circle Rd., across the street from the old bowling alley. The building itself was recently a short lived Wing Hut, and before that, it was Brooks BBQ 2. I will say that I prefer chicken tenders over wings, so I might be disqualified from being taken seriously here. I'll say, I've had much better chicken tenders at other places. Specifically, the ones from Lee's are much better. As my side, I got mashed potatoes and gravy. The brown gravy was gelatin like and the potatoes had obviously been sitting awhile and needed a good stir. There were lumps in the potatoes, but not like the lumps in real potatoes, but like flaky or flour like lumps, that made the texture odd. The taste was odd too.I'm not sure if I'd be back. Maybe I'll eventually try the wings and update my review. Until then, these three stars are generous."

Huey Magoo's

★★★★☆ 3.8 (24)

"Huey's Quickly has become our go to Chicken spot in short order. Don't pass on the Blackberry Lemonade! Tried the grilled tenders w/sweet heat this time great but I prefer the breaded."

Bubby’s Chicken & Waffles

★★★★★ 5 (11)

"Springfield, it doesn't get more "hidden gem/mom & pop" than this, and it's WELL worth checking it out, if you're in the area, need some quick, DELICIOUS chicken that's NOT like all the rest of the dozens of (chain) offerings here in town, THIS is your choice. I got the The good/bad news is that their hours are limited; I think only Thurs.-Sunday, but WELL worth checking out. Don't let the area scare you away. If you want the best tasting chicken in town (AND the most AWESOME smelling car on your way home!!) check out Bubby's asap!!"

Royal bourbon chicken

★★★★☆ 3.7 (18)

"My wife has found her Bourbon Chicken fix. We both thoroughly enjoyed the Bourbon Chicken, my wife with white rice, mine with Cajun rice. The Cajun potatoes are also really good. Hoping they add collard greens to the menu. The menu is quite extensive for a mom&pop joint. It is located in an old Pizza Hut and they do have dine-in. The place is clean and well lit. Service is friendly and helpful. I have also had a gyro and am trying a Philly Cheesesteak tonight! Support local and give this place a try!"

"D is an amazing cook trying to get a leg up in Georgetowns small restaurant scene and deserves the recognition. If you like a greasy spoon and a dive that leaves you feeling full and puts a smile on your face I've yet to find one better."

"Order the chicken Philly sandwich and thank me later!!Today my bf and I were looking for a new place to try out. I wanted a sit down restaurant, but he was just hungry and wanted something quick. Let me tell you, this choice did not disappoint!Sweet bbq chicken wings 5 starsMashed potatoes 5 starsBaked beans 5 starsFries 5 starsChicken Philly sandwich 6 starsCorn bread 3 stars Ok the cornbread was basic, but everything else was a home run. Best fast food option in the area."

Hook Fish & Chicken - Hamilton

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (6)

"First let me explain the reason for 4 stars, the outside is kinda scary looking, no menu up for the drive thru. The wife and wanted something different. This quarantine has me burnt out on food! So I suggested Hooks, its Sunday why not. Pulled up to window asked for menu, food is priced good. Nice variety of things. We ordered the zucchini fries, gyro and Philly sandwich. Both sandwiches came with fries. Got home sit down to eat and was blown away, after reading some of the reviews, I was kinda scared of the food! But wow! Food was amazing! The fries were delicious and seasoned and my philly was amazing! Very flavorful, the wife's gyro she even said was delicious, and she always said, yea..... it's good!! So even she said the food was delicious! We are going to go back sooner than later to try the chicken and fish! Can't wait"

Pollo Shaddai

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"First of all don't pull in the front and think they are closed like we did. The entrance is on the left side of the building. As we walked in we were seated right away and we had a really good server who was very polite and checked on us frequently. We all ordered diet cokes which came out in cans and he did bring cup with ice. We ordered a couple appetizers one being chips and queso. The other being their sampler, both of which were very good. Don't compare this to a Mexican restaurant because it is much different and don't expect chips and salsa to be dropped off at the table because they don't appear to have salsa. We each ordered and our meals came out fairly quick. Two of us ordered the chicken, one a quesadilla, and I got the carne asada. All of our meals were very good and my wife and I tried each others and agreed how good they were. Price wise for four of us it was around $100 including the 15% they already added as a tip. We added an additional $10 because our service was really good. The restaurant itself was very clean and there was music playing but not overly loud where you couldn't hear each other talk. This was our first time here and we would go again. I never thought to take any photos or I would have posted them."
