*I felt like a local eating here*

We walk-in and “My Girlfriend’s Dead” by The Vandals is on the stereo.

I already feel good by the choice of music. Guy at taking orders is so mellow I couldn’t tell if he worked there or was just chilling.

Menu is phenomenal but I go with the beef & cheddar (thinking of the Arby’s version).

I was wrong! This was Arby’s on steroids. Everything here is made fresh.

I mean fresh. Be prepared to wait, it’s worth the wait I assure you.

I’m upset I didn’t get fries. My buddy gave me one fry and it changed my life. lol

The locals kept popping in and out. Everyone so cool calm and collected. They already knew you have to wait for greatness.

DO NOT PASS THIS SPOT! If you are anywhere near this place give them a try.

$10 double smash is the best deal in town. It’s big but it is the perfect indulgence. All the toppings are fresh and well portioned. Fries are always cooked to order, never greasy and always hot out of the fryer. Give this hidden gem a shot!

Dang! The sandwiches here are fantastic. Fresh, hot, and full of flavor. I was not expecting to get so much enjoyment out of a chicken sandwich. Would definitely come here again.

Randomly found this place while looking for a quick bite on vacation. Red leg on fries was awesome, burgers and fries were great too. Prices were excellent, would be a regular if I lived here.

Let me just say it: If you think you’ve got a go-to spot for hot wings and you haven’t tried Red Bird’s Hot Wing Wednesday, chances are—you’re f***in’ up. Today, I picked up a to-go order of their wings. When they asked if I needed napkins, I said no. Why? Because I drive stick, and I knew if I had napkins, I’d be tempted to eat these things while shifting gears. I was trying to be responsible. I failed. Before I even hit 471, the box was open, and I was tearing into those wings like I hadn’t eaten in weeks. I’m on wing two, about to shift into 5th, and disaster strikes—my glorious Red Bird wing slips from my grasp and falls between the seats. That cursed, phone-devouring crevice claimed yet another victim. And that’s when I truly understood just how good these wings are. No hesitation. No shame. I dove down into the dark unknown, pulled that spicy, smoky, juicy masterpiece from the depths, and devoured it like the car-goblin between my seat and console had never even seen it. By the time I pulled into my driveway, all six wings were gone. $7 worth of pure joy inhaled at 65mph. I sat there licking my fingers clean, reveling in the flavor bomb I had just experienced. And then—plot twist—I realized I hadn’t even touched the blue cheese. Red Bird’s house-made blue cheese and crisp celery? Also top-tier. A perfect cool-down act after the spicy BBQ madness. Everything I’ve tried at the Red Bird Deli has been a home run, but this wing-fueled, manual-driving, near-religious experience needed to be shared. 10/10. Get the wings. Eat irresponsibly. You won’t regret it.

This place is awesome! The food is like no other in the area. We got the burger, chop cheese, red leg with fries, and the root beer float for two people and it was so delicious! Will definitely be regulars here now!
