I tried Showbird for the first time a few weeks ago, opting to order several items for delivery via UberEats. I had a Double "Showburger" Cheeseburger, Loaded Waffle Fries, Grilled Chicken "Crack Wrap", and "The Grit Bowl" (cheesy grits with bacon)! Had the food arrived more quickly, I would have given 4 stars. I understand this isn't Showbird's fault, but the quality definitely suffered. My delivery person was on a bicycle, and took a crazy long zig-zag to reach my address. (I used to deliver on my bicycle, so I get it! But would never take a longer route, when there is a bike-able, direct and safe route available to me) Even after being heated up again, the patty's on the burger were a little thin, and the amount of queso on the loaded fries was on the sparse side. With that being said, the seasoning on the fries were very tasty! The burger and wraps were also tasty, but the wraps were a bit small for the price. The grits were probably the best part, nice big portion and big cuts of bacon! Excellent amount of cheese. Their house made sauces were great, and I would order from them again, but only in-person. I'll be trying their chicken next time! 3-stars for Price and Portions, but would definitely try them again.

People were very nice and accommodating. Place was in a nice location. Food was just average. We had chicken sandwiches. The breakfast looked good. I would go back and try that sometime. Not a place I would good out of my way for but also would be satisfied eating there again. The fries were great. Definitely the highlight.

I've given this place a few begrudged tries now after living conveniently close. After the grand opening a few menu items were quickly removed. I've still visited for coffee (since they brew French Truck) but the service seems to struggle with even the smallest orders with few people in the restaurant. Waiting 20-25 for black drip coffee only at a breakfast place no apology is pretty lousy. To be fair, have had a mix of friendly and unfriendly service here depending on who is staffing and how much they're struggling. Fortunately, this place seems on a trajectory of eventual closure like (unfortunately) the Jamba Juice before it so just have to wait things out for the next restaurant to move in here. A star each for the good waffle fries and French Truck coffee effort though.

If you are looking for a REAL cracked egg breakfast sandwich this is your spot. Just line up at the counter and "Give 'em the Bird", LOL You'll get that once you check out the decor. Food is hot off the grill ready to go or dine in.

Sooo it's giving overpriced Chic Fil A but it was good food. I went in to order pickup and they did get my order wrong. The fries were pretty good but they were fried harder than most places which was okay for me because they were thick waffle fries. Chicken sandwich was also fried a little hard but it was ok as well. I wish I had a little sauce on the side for dipping. The lemonade was really good but was pricey for the size. The place is small but was clean.

Yummy fried fast food. Loved the hash browns. Service was remarkable. Would go back in a heart beat. Wish there was a bit spicer options. Or maybe some hot sauce. But still loved it.

Ive been here twice. Ive tried two different chicken sandwiches and both are just ok but nothing amazing. Their waffle fries are really good, nice and flavorful. The star should be the chicken but it's not.

I don't get what everyone is saying. I have tried this place 6 times now at different times, and it's so inconsistent. The waffle fries are good in flavor, but a bit overcooked or just right and cold. The spicy chicken seems to have some strange breading with more spice than anything sometimes, and other times is bland with very little spice. The snack wrap is TINY for nearly $6. Breakfast was absolutely on point with flavor of the chicken and egg, but was cold and had way too much bread (brioche bun is HUGE compared to the fixings and protein). Chicken salad has a bit of gristle. I really wanted to like this place, but I think I'm going to try elsewhere until it gets more consistent.

Great newish place in NOLA right near the Ceasar's Superdome. Everything is made fresh to order. Not a huge menu but a good variety of choices-hamburgers, wrap, tenders, chicken sandwiches, salad, breakfast sandwiches. Place is very clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. We will definitely be eating here again, especially right before a Saints game-delicious!
Awesome food. Staying at the Roosevelt. Very disappointed with breakfast yesterday. Decided to try ShowBird's. I am a big Chicken foodie. I got the skinny bird. Blackened to perfection!!! Loved the addition of cole slaw and SB mayo. Cheese grits were not your usual mass produced. CREAMY is the operative word. Oh and the cookies, WOW!!

Great location next to the Superdome, anytime a home game is on, this place will be super super super busy, yes I know because I ordered a breakfast sandwich with hash browns, I waited over 1 hr from order to finish. What's sad is I was with a group of 10, everyone got and ate their order but mine was pushed to the side. Seems Uber eats and DoorDash are high priority than walk in clients, maybe if a home game is on, suspend those orders and solely focus on walk in clients, the experience will be better, the staff can handle the flow, I just saw too much orders and not enough staff. To wait 1 hr to have a brioche bun with a sunny side up egg, very very nice crispy bacon, it just wasn't worth it. I will say the hash browns are the best I've ever had from a quick in n out restaurant, it was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Bits and pieces of seasoning mixed into the hash brown, I didn't take a picture because before I realized it, I ate them all since I was soo hungry.

This was a truly horrific experience. My husband had ordered a showbird chicken sandwich and it was huge like in the picture. This is what we got today. A tiny flat piece of chicken that looked half dark and half white. Absolutely horrible. I actually cut off half the bun because there was not enough chicken. I want to know what happened between the first picture ( not my hubbies) and what we got today?

The bird stuck their dick in this shit or something because it's so fucking good. I got the breakfast sandwich with chicken sausage, cheese grits and hash browns and I didn't know breakfast could be like this. I also got a latte with oat milk and if you wanted to know they got the good oat milk that doesn't coat your mouth and like damn the coffee itself is bussin. 10/10 will be ordering again.

Aaron Sanchez has done it again. Everyone, get the Banty Rooster chicken biscuit with the bacon jam! You will not be disappointed! We also enjoyed having the French Truck coffee.
