Pretty disappointed by our first visit to Honey Butter. The honey butter sandwich strikes me more as a $6 sandwich and not a $12+ one. We ordered strips too with their HB sauce and we got just the chicken, no sauce. Chick Fil A is down the street and gives a better experience and more consistency.

Very friendly service, a cool outdoor patio space, and good food. Ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and the melted pimento cheese fries. The buffalo chicken had some kick but wasn't overly spicy (there was sauce to add for those who wanted to kick up the heat). Also had the 50/50 lemonade sweet tea, which was very good. Would recommend.

It has been years since I was here. We sat inside. Good portions on food. The honey butter chicken sandwich was good. Honey butter Fries were good too but I think next time I will not order not as much honey butter items. The flavors all blurred by mid meal.

Delicious! Highly recommend the cornbread; not only do they taste like honey butter, they’re shaped like hexagons and bees. The sandwiches and chicken and waffles are also super tasty. Staff is also very friendly. Well worth a visit!

Honey Butter Fried Chicken was the place I always wanted to try for years. So, I finally got the chance to go there on a sunny day and the food I ordered was fantastic. The customer service was exemplary and definitely met good standards and friendly service! The Chicken with the butter & corn breads couldn't be any better. Best combination! The prices are decent. Definitely the best chicken restaurant to exist!

First time here and not the last. The place looks small from the outside because it is on the corner, but it is not, and it has a large patio. First, free parking around the restaurant so I like that. Once inside, they have large screens to order your food, no cash transactions, so debit or credit only.
I ordered the original and the Buffalo sandwich, and I liked the original the most.
The Buffalo sandwich hot sauce could be better, to my liking.
As for the French fries, the plain are also the ones I liked since I also ordered the honey, and they were ok for me.
Once the order is in, take a seat, and your name will be called with your drinks and food, and since the day was great, the patio was the best option to seat and enjoy the food and weather.

Overall, I liked the ambiance and the food, and I'll come back to try other dishes on the menu.

Such a cute place....they have a self-service kiosk to place your orders. You sit and wait for your order to be called. They have our door and indoor seating options. The atmosphere was very nice and clean. The food was delicious and the drinks were tasty. The mashed potatoes stole the show for me. I could have just had that and I would have been a happy camper 😁Definitely coming back.

This is one of the most unique restaurants in Chicago! It’s pricey but so worth it! The chicken strips with honey butter are out of this world! They also have some fun off-brand sodas in their soda fountain. The patio is huge and covered. The staff here are always awesome and it’s clear the owners care a lot about their guests and staff; great to see!
