I'm a little late sharing this review, but I was recently in Boynton Beach with my family & we found this halal takeaway. Its in a good location & the place itself was very clean! The food was hot & fresh. If you like spicy food, you'll love the hot chicken! The portions were big & enough for 2! The service was ... EXCELLENT. We had a great time chatting with the owner/manager. I'd definitely recommend you try this place if you're looking for halal food in the west palm area! *Tip: I found the chicken too spicy when it was dipped in the seasoned oil after cooking... so if you're looking for a healthier, less spicy option, skip the oil.

As a Canadian Muslim, I’ve been dying to try authentic Nashville hot chicken, but unfortunately, we don’t have anything great back home. So while traveling to Florida, I took the opportunity to visit Byrd’s Hot Chicken in Boynton Beach—and I was not disappointed! From the first bite, I could tell this was the real ... deal. The chicken was incredibly crunchy and crispy, perfectly seasoned with that signature Nashville heat that builds just right. The wings were big, juicy, and packed with flavor—easily some of the best I’ve had. The slider was also excellent, with a soft bun and crispy chicken, but I would have loved a bit more sauce to balance the heat. Beyond the food, the service was outstanding. The owner is a genuinely kind man who takes pride in his food and ensures every order is fresh and made to order. That attention to quality truly shows. If you’re in Florida and craving authentic Nashville hot chicken, Byrd’s Hot Chicken is a must-visit! Read More

The medium/mild tenders and the boneless wings were amazing! Not to mention the cheese fries and 24k sauce were a perfect addition. Mike took care of us and was an amazing host! We will definitely be back for the amazing good and over the top customer service from Mike!

I tried the plant-based chicken patty sandwich at Byrds Hot Chicken, and it was amazing! The patty was perfectly crispy on the outside while still tender inside, packed with so much flavor. The bun was incredibly fresh with the perfect taste to complement the sandwich. Every bite was just right—fresh, flavorful, and ... satisfying. The fries were crispy and delicious, making the whole meal an easy 10/10. I’ll definitely be coming back! I can actually find a plant base Sandwhich late night!!!! Read More

My husband and I both looooove this place! My husband loves #2 combo which is the chicken tenders with sides and a drink. The chicken tenders are huuuge! I love #5 combo which is a chicken sandwich but instead of regular buns, it's with a donut. It's the perfect combination! The spicy chicken is perfect, crispy and ... well seasoned on the outside while the inside is perfectly cooked and moist chicken white meat The donut makes this whole thing work, because it gives me a good break from the spicy hot goodness. The donut is even toasted on the inside, these guys really know their stuff! I order medium spicy, which is hot. My husband who usually enjoys buffalo hot wings was sweating through the medium spicy and so he ordered mild the 2nd time we came back. The fries are sooo gooood, especially with the spicy seasoning! It's probably one of the best fries I've ever had. It's my favorite side so far, but will have to try the others some time. All made to order so it's really good! The guys here are super nice, warm, kind, and welcoming! Parking was easy, it's literally right next to El Atico. The TVs are usually on a sports channel, but you can definitely have conversations as the volume is kept at a good level. We're huge fans already for the delicious chicken and for the good guys who work here! Read More

Love the modern sports feel of the restaurant! The staff were beyond friendly & you can taste the freshness of the food. It definitely exceeded my expectations. I recommend the Byrd Bomb & the fried green beans, they were absolutely delicious. The shakes were also made as well and were super rich in flavor. Would ... definitely come back again! Side note: the restrooms were extremely clean! That is rare to see at a food joint. Read More

Great experience at Byrds! The chicken was incredibly tender and juicy, and the mild spice level was flavorful, though it was almost too spicy for me—but still delicious. The crinkle-cut fries were crispy and had the same seasoning as the chicken, which was a nice touch. The potato salad was a lifesaver to help cut ... the heat. The staff was super friendly and helped me decide between mild and medium spice levels. My only wish? A little more slaw and pickles on the sandwich to balance the flavors. Overall, a solid spot for a chicken sandwich fix! Read More
