Topping the list is CityBird Tenders. Located at 1344 Vine St. in Over-The-Rhine, the chicken shop is the highest-rated low-priced chicken spot in Cincinnati, boasting 4.5 stars out of 134 reviews on Yelp. Chicken tenders, sandwiches and salads are all on offer at this spot. 

Yelper Ben T., who reviewed CityBird Tenders on Oct. 28, wrote, "We all ordered the four tender combo box with the Lemon-Thyme Ranch sauce. We waited a while for our food, but it was well worth it. We were rewarded with fresh, piping hot chicken tenders and fries."

J M. added, "Wow. Though the menu is small, it is mighty. Tried the CityBird as-is and a side of fries. Everything was the bomb."
