Bird’s Nest, I love you. I love hanging out with my friends at your place. I love watching Illini basketball and the Bears at your place. Even more though, I LOVE with my whole heart your Buffalo wings. Nothing compares. I dream of these. Please never change.

Came here for the wings because I’ve heard they were some of the best in the city, and I did really enjoy them. Got the birds nest sauce which is a fairly hot sauce, great taste. Fried mushrooms were some of the better ones I’ve had. Bar atmosphere is fantastic and service was good too.

A good bar/restaurant. Our server was friendly and attentive. Prices are reasonable and portions were generous. The food was good. My husband really liked the wings! I would recommend this place.

Went there for the wings. They were very good. Well cooked, crispy and a their house sauce is ok, with a bit of heat.
I also got the chicken sandwich and that was not good. The chicken was so tough even cutting it with a fork and knife was a challenge. My wife got the panini, and said the chicken on there was also very tough.
Service was excellent, although we did feel a little rushed at first becaus the waitress came by once a minute to ask if we were ready to order. Not really a problem, just an observation.

A laid back neighborhood bar offering a friendly casual atmosphere and some of the best wings in Chicago.
You seat yourself which can be tricky since nights are often crowded with college students.
Daily drink specials are offered.
Menu selections include a variety of appetizers,salads,wraps,sandwiches,pizza and of course wings.
We had to wait a little bit to find a table but as we looked around,everyone was having their wings.
We ordered a pitcher of beer (Drink special of the day 12.00) and a basket of 20 wings with their own Birds Best Hot Sauce and an order of Cajun fries with cheese for dipping.
Fries were not greasy but I wish the cheese sauce was warm and not cold.
The wings had just the right amount of crisp and the sauce was not too hot …just right! Good size and very meaty. They are the real deal!
Plenty of street parking and an outdoor patio in the summer.
If you want good wings in the city at a decent price,this is the place to go.

First, credit where it’s due: our waitress was fantastic. Super friendly, attentive, and genuinely apologetic when things went wrong. She handled the situation professionally and was easily the highlight of the visit.
The buffalo wings themselves were amazing—great flavor, cooked well. That said, we ordered 10 wings each, which arrived together in one large basket. When we split them up, we realized we had only received 24 wings total. That’s confusing considering wings are ordered in increments of ten. It honestly makes you wonder how that even happens.
We brought it up to our waitress, who immediately alerted the manager/bartender (the one with the wing tattoo on the back of his neck). Unfortunately, this is where the experience really took a turn. He was extremely rude, never apologized once, and didn’t offer any explanation at all. The only thing he asked was whether we wanted the missing wings “for here or to go.” Since we were watching a basketball game, we said for here.
About ten minutes later, he came back, dropped the wings on the table without saying a single word, and walked away. No apology, no acknowledgment of the mistake, no explanation—nothing. The waitress later came back and apologized again, which only further highlighted how poorly the manager handled the situation.
Bottom line: the food is good and the waitstaff is great, but the management response was unacceptable. Mistakes happen, but refusing to apologize or communicate is a choice. Make sure you get what you pay for when you come here.

Iconic neighborhood dive bar with some of the best wings in the city, paired with a ton of TVs so you can always catch whatever game you want.
We hadn’t been here in about 8 years and glad to see not really much has changed. Quesadilla was good and we ordered 20 wings with their special sauce and hot BBQ, they were amazing.
Place was packed on a Sunday afternoon so be prepared for a wait, but it’ll be worth it.

Bird’s Nest is the perfect laid-back spot for a casual bite and great drinks! The wings are a standout—crispy, flavorful, and available in a variety of sauces that make it hard to pick just one. Their pub grub menu is full of tasty options, from wraps to hearty salads, all prepared fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff is friendly, making it a great place to hang out with friends or unwind after a busy day. Highly recommend for anyone craving a fun, casual dining experience!
