About daybird

Daybird is a restaurant that serves exceptional sandwiches, including the highly-recommended Cod Sando and the fried chicken sandwich. The Cod Sando is considered one of the best in town, while the fried chicken sandwich is praised for its freshness, perfect texture, and vibrant slaw. Many customers note that the chicken is seasoned and brined to perfection, making it a top choice. The prices may be a bit steep, making it more suitable for special occasions, but the quality of the food and unique flavors make it worth a visit. Daybird is a takeout-friendly place located in a shopping center, where customers appreciate the relaxed atmosphere with no need to dress up. Although the restaurant has limited parking, there is an underground level and a guard in the parking lot. There is no seating, just a long stand-up bar for eating, and the service is efficient.

Customers have shared varied experiences, with some stating that the food is really good but not always extraordinary. Others have been pleasantly surprised, such as one diner who initially hesitated to try the Hot Szechuan chicken sando but found it incredibly tasty with juicy chicken and crunchy slaw. The flavors, including sweet and spicy options, have received high praise, particularly the Daybird sauce, described as a mix of garlic aioli and BBQ sauce. While some mention the fries should be eaten hot for the best taste, overall, Daybird is viewed as a must-visit for sandwich enthusiasts, especially for those who enjoy fried chicken and unique flavor combinations.
