This was our first time at Shy Bird and it did not disappoint! We arrived half an hour early for our reservation as we were coming straight from kayaking on the Charles. The host was gracious and did his best to seat us as quickly as possible and in our preferred spot. The vibe was upbeat, relaxed and happy. There appeared to be a mix of work lunches, tourists and friends dining. The server was friendly and attentive. Our food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious! Can't wait to go again soon.
Phenom July 4th time outdoors at One Broadway! The five of us had a great meal, great conversation, and service was outstanding. Just sharing the love!
we often come in with a corporate party of 10 for breakfast and the staff always does an amazing job for us. The food is top quality as well.
Every time I visit ShyBird, I’m absolutely blown away by the service — and it’s all thanks to Kaitlyn Dee and Emma. They consistently go above and beyond to make each experience feel warm, welcoming, and effortless. From the moment I walk in, I feel genuinely taken care of. Their attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism set the standard for what great service should be. It’s rare to find a team that consistently delivers excellence, but they do it with grace every single time. Huge thank you to Kaitlyn, Dee, and Emma — you make ShyBird a place I’ll keep coming back to!
Great little corner spot. Open feeling atmosphere and quiet. I had the half bird and a side of greens. Chicken was succulent and the greens were fresh. Perfect lunch!
Don’t get me wrong the ceaser wrap is my favorite lunch but it’s NEVER consistent. If you get it on uber it will always be disgusting. They make it different every time. They either do too much dressing, no dressing, add onion or don’t add onions. I never know what wrap I’m going to get and I’m always crossing my fingers that it’s a good one. Recently especially they have been bad and they add no chicken and it’s old and crusty. I’m so confused because the wrap was my entire personality because it was so good. Today was my last straw when I ordered it and they sent it to me not toasted and cold. Unfortunately this is the end of the road for me and shybird. Maybe you have a better chance getting it right if you get it in store. Idk there needs to be a consistent workflow for making the wrap so it’s the same every time and not halfassed
The second time I have eaten here and I remained impressed with the food. It was a busy evening so the noise level was higher than I would have liked but still worth the visit. Will return.
Based on the reviews I was hesitant to go here, but my friends picked it and I still side with many of the reviews🤪
If you like your fresh food slightly unhealthy and your chicken fried, then this is the place for you; but it doesn’t float my boat😒
I was limited in what I wanted to eat here: non-dairy and non-fried 🫣
I bought a chicken Caesar wrap. It was $15 and the wrap itself was so small ! Once I took a bite of the wrap I was even more disappointed. The flavor was disgusting. The chicken did not taste fresh at all. I will not be ordering from Shy Bird again.
I love coming here it's one of my favorite spots. Typically the food is great! I'd say the ceaser chicken wrap was too spicy. The spice was overpowering the rest of the flavors.

The food was pretty good overall. I got the chicken frites and I give it an 8/10. The pork fried rice was really good. Although the food was good, the service was exceptional. Our server, Chester, was very knowledgeable and helpful. Our food and drinks took no time at all to come out. Very good.
Chester is an absolute superstar! Kind, patient, and professional. He made our evening extra special. Food was excellent and came out very quickly. Thank you for a wonderful night!
Excellent chicken sandwich served with great greens - My friend got the chicken with fries, which was also delicious. Our server, Erik R., was fantastic - one of the nicest and best restaurant professionals I've ever had the pleasure to meet. Service was fast. Overall, a nice value for delicious food.
The chicken tenders and bird bath dip were so good! And the chocolate brownie dessert was one of the best I've ever had! The peri peri chicken and linguine with clams were both delicious, but if I weren't too hungry, I'd want to save room for that dessert!
Shy Bird is one of my favorite restaurants- lots of vegetarian options, wonderful, friendly staff, indoor and outdoor dining. But I do have a major complaint. The strawberry shortcake was not made with fresh strawberries- & it's June! They should either use fresh strawberries or take it off the menu. It tasted like they used strawberry jam, which just doesn't cut it. Otherwise it's a 5-star place!
