I visited bird & rye with my family on Father's Day Sunday night around 7:30 PM and was deeply disappointed by the customer service. Our waitress was noticeably attentive to other tables, frequently checking on them and engaging warmly, but completely neglected us. We had to raise our hands multiple times to get her attention, and she never once checked on us during the meal. When it came time to pay, we had to get up and approach the counter ourselves, as she didn’t offer a to-go box or any assistance until we initiated it. The stark difference in her tone and attentiveness toward other customers compared to us was glaring. As the only non-white patrons in the restaurant at the time, it’s hard not to feel that her behavior was discriminatory. The food was decent, but the blatantly poor and unequal treatment ruined the experience. I won’t be returning and would caution others about the potential for biased service.

Quite a small place close to the theaters. Off the main street. Noisy but fun. Great cocktails, good interesting foods. The girl was working alone and she did a great job, running the whole time.

Food was great! Guy in the back was killing it. The Bartender Jesse was great . Will be coming back

Excellent food - everything we ordered was delicious, though I’d particularly recommend the duck reuben. Server was friendly and prompt, and they were very kid-friendly, with legos and other toys for kids to borrow.

Recently relocated from the Midwest and had been missing good fried chicken, which appears not to be popular out here. Trying three restaurants so far, I had net found any. After trying the fried chicken at bird and rye, I still haven’t. The chicken lacked flavor, had paper thin breading and although I do not know their method of cooking, it wasn’t fried in an iron skillet. Another strike, the mashed potatoes were instant, not real. Disappointed again!

Absolutely amazing food and customer service!!! Will be back. 10/10. Duck reuben is 🤌.

Mac and cheese had no seasoning along with the chicken. Did not taste right and was soggy with no flavor. Fries were ok. Soda was flat and they said there’s nothing wrong with it. Hush puppies were ok also. Server/bartender was not friendly at all.

Great food, descent beer selection, mediocre cocktails.
Fried chicken sandwich was good! Had a side of fries added. The food was good and the service was good. Not too overpriced, either.

Relaxing, local pub feel, serving Southern comfort food with a pacific northwest twist! Great atmosphere, great food. We ordered several items off the menu because everything sounded so good. Started with a baby kale salad (big pieces of thick, crispy bacon, super fresh greens, crazy delicious beetroot pickled hardboiled eggs, radishes, blue cheese dressing). So bomb!! The buttermilk fried chicken was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly crispy on the outside. Chicken tortilla soup was excellent. Fried chicken thigh sandwich was perfectly cooked, slaw was crispy and simple, and the house-made pickles were DELICIOUS and a beautiful addition to the sandwich. (I could eat those pickles all day.) The brisket dip was packed full of flavor. The meat was smoky and crisp on the outside, tender on inside. Love the addition of pickled red onions. We also tried a few sides: mac and cheese, fries, and collard greens. YUM!! Small, intimate setting. Great drink selection! Keep up the good work, B & R, and much success!
Food and price were very good. We ordered to pick up and the service seemed like they didn’t want me there. The lady was rude and when I was very polite. It wasn’t the end of the world but I did seem like the typical “I’m busy and I’m gonna take my frustration out on the customer”
