  I am not sure what breed of chicken is cooked here but it is unlike any other chicken I have tried. It left me feeling slightly disturbed. Maybe they brine it and that is what changes its colour. It is doubtful that I shall eat there again.

  Excellent hot chicken. The best I’ve had outside of Nashville. The chicken sandwich was flavored and moist. The service was prompt. This place is a must visit.

  Nashville style hot chicken. These guys got it right. Extra crispy crunchy skin (candied skin) on the outside, and really juicy meat on the inside, not an easy feat considering the good size of the chicken. Several levels of heat to choose from, I always get the extra hot only because I don't think the super extra hot is available at the Revival. The chicken comes on a piece of white toast, to soak up the extra sauce on the chicken making for a better eating experience, and house made pickles that perfectly compliment the heat. You can't go wrong with any of the side dishes. I've been there half dozen times and I will keep coming back and bringing new people with me. The Budlong is one of 3 best fried chicken places in the City of Chicago and I've been to most of them

  Quick and easy - the classic already has enough spice for me but that’s because my lower body can’t take it!! The pickles are sweet but delicious!

  This is a really good restaurant one of the best hot chicken experiences I've had. I had the extra hot tenders and they were perfectly cooked and straight off the fryer. Their biscuits were perfectly cooked with the flavored butter and jam, it was like your grandma made fresh biscuits in the oven and you got the first bite. Also the Mac and cheese was perfect it was not too dry or wet it had the right blend of chedder and other cheeses. Also a root beer on the side is a must need because of the spicyness. Over all this experience was amazing.
