“Was running late for boarding a flight but hadn’t eaten anything all day, ordered last minute but someone was kind enough to ask if I’d been helped and made my order in thirty seconds flat, I made my flight!! Thank you so much cv for making my day :)“

“Awesome spicy chicken sandwiches that I’ve been eating for almost a decade.

The Bird is definitely not a date spot or sit down fancy place.

But, if you’re looking for a fast and convenient solid choice on the go or for a casual night out with friends, The Bird hits your mark.“

“Better than Seoul Sausage and they won the Great American Food Truck Race! Perfect balance of spice, sauce, and crunch. The outside is amazing and the Parmesan was a nice touch!“

“Wow I’m amaze how the taste of their wings and fries I love it a lot. Just glad my sister take me here and the lady allow us to bring her dogs. It was such a nice gesture. Will definitely come back for their wings and will try their burgers

Food: Excellent
Service: excellent
Atmosphere: excellent“

“Edit: 1 year later and this place still slaps, 5/5 consistently for the past year.

Really like this place. The price is fair, food is simple but well made, good options for good veggie sides, salads, and chicken-centric mains. The brussel sprouts are crazy good.“

“Buen servicio y pollo fresco y caliente!!“

“This place is great! Staff was cool, food terrific and they support Meals on Wheels. Super place!“

“I had a really great experience at The Bird. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with attention to quality. The burger was juicy and well-seasoned, and the fries were crispy and perfectly salted. The portion sizes were satisfying without feeling overwhelming. The staff were friendly and efficient, even when it was busy, and the overall service was smooth. I also liked the casual but modern atmosphere, which made it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal either alone or with friends. The ordering process was simple, and the wait time was reasonable given how popular the place is. Overall, it’s a solid spot for a high-quality burger experience, and I would definitely come back again.“

“As a meat eater I do looove the tofu here. The chicken topped salads go crazy with the parm, YUM. I need it with lots of cheese and I'm never disappointed here. They have some kind of magical cookie brownie thing that I sneak into the library to eat while I study because it is just so delicious. I like the outdoor seating area with the space heaters yes god bless. I appreciate how thoroughly the staff know the menu options because me and my BF are indecisive and swap out sides a lot. I just really wish there were bigger plates for the rotisserie chicken plate they offer!“

“Very good food! Pollo very juicy and flavorful. I am glad I got to try this delicious food! 🔥💯🤝🍻👌🙌 this will be my dinner spot until I return to Arizona. Gracias“

“BHC Chicken absolutely delivers on the texture. The chicken is supremely crunchy on the outside while staying juicy inside, easily some of the crispiest fried chicken around.
If you go, you can't miss out on the Bburinkle sauce. It adds a great flavor and pairs perfectly with the crunch.
The only downside for me was the Bburing cheese balls. They were surprisingly sweet, which just wasn't to my taste for a side dish.
Overall, the chicken itself is elite. Stick to the main event and the signature sauce, and you won't be disappointed.“

“A friend mentioned this place after another spot flaked on me, so I decided to give them a shot. They actually answered the phone and got everything sorted out, which was refreshing. Grew up in nearby Elmwood, so it's nice to have reliable places around here.“

“THANK YOU! I have ordered late night from the Melt and received a ridiculous Cobb salad. Paid a ton of money and they left out all chicken, bacon or onion and I swear put in someone's old grilled cheese as croutons. So I tried Mixt. Boiled chicken instead of crispy and no cucs. Then I ordered from here and you restored my faith. Seriously thank you. Exactly what I ordered. It was delicious as well. THANK YOU! Just wanted a salad that I ordered and finally got it“

“nice , clean and delicious“

“This is mine, so I'm kinda prejudiced! I love love love my T . Bell!!“

“Stopped by this place during my Audio Tour of the Bay for a bite. The food was incredible and fresh. They offer a wide variety of food options, including different types of meat and vegetarian choices. Everything was hot and fresh. You should definitely come today.“

“I like the chicken here ots just as good buying in person as it is being delivered. The pieces are big, food is always hot when I get it. They could do better on the sides tho. They are too small in size and the Mac n cheese needs more seasoning aka more flavor. I just get the 8 piece chicken and I got my own sides. Overall it's really good chicken and I will continue to eat at this spot. I love chicken so this 1 is right up my alley. FYI the biscuits are really good too especially with the honey and butter they put on it. Happy Clucking and Frying❤?“

“Ok, I really want to give them 5 stars, but it's gas station fried chicken y'all, 😆 so it can't get 5 stars. The chicken is unexpectedly delicious! Perfectly fried, no batter, just flour and amazing seasoning. Has a slight acidic, spicy vein running through the seasoning. Really quite satisfying at 2am when the bars close, or buy a bucket for Sunday picnic. It's a franchise, so you can find it in most cities, at least in California. But again, it's in a gas station convenience store, so it's not a dine-in, seated meal. Some of the best fast food out there! I mean, who doesn't crave fried chicken every now and then?!“
