Great place, a chill environment and they have clams! Fun drinks, good happy hour, and great music. Real homemade cheesecake and burgers are to die for, highly recommended if in area!

Service and atmosphere is great here! My second meal was delicious, however I rarely send food back and I was highly disappointed with the shrimp tacos. The presentation was terrible and there was nothing fresh on the taco. The coleslaw, while apparently made fresh every day, was soggy. I have never eaten a fresh taco with coleslaw that has been sitting in sauce all the day. Please please change the way this is made and keep your cabbage fresh and put the sauce on top with each serving. A fish or shrimp taco is supposed to be fresh and colorful. Even the sauce on top, not sure if it was salsa Verde or Pico de gallo....but thats the problem you couldn't tell as it was also not fresh. I expect fresh tomatoes and onions and cilantro on a taco like this. I also think the presentation being flat on the plate was unappetizing looking and only having 2 tacos was lacking. However I asked the server for the special that night instead and it was speedy service and the second dish was delicious. I would go back, but I truly hope the chef decides to change the shrimp taco menu choice.

Had an incredible meal at Free Bird in Lumsden. Great vibe, creative menu, and top-notch service. The burger and truffle fries were unreal, and the paella was packed with flavour. Worth the drive definitely going back!

Unexpected gem in tiny Lumsden. Delicious food, especially the calamari. I would suggest sticking to the lighter fair. The chef is not afraid of cholesterol. But if that's your jam, enjoy.

June 2025: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Free Bird is one of the best restaurants in this province. It’s local, it’s unique and it’s full of passion.
I ordered the Signature Paella ($39) and Skor Cheesecake ($12), my boyfriend ordered Dip n’ Drip Birria Tacos ($26), and my brother ordered Shrimp Tacos ($23) with truffle fries. While not pictured, the rest of our table ordered the 3 cheese pizza special and they ALL said it was extremely good.
My paella was high quality, huge and full of flavour. The seafood didn’t taste fishy at all. I’m impressed with the high quality and care. This was my first time eating Paella and the bar has been set HIGH. It truly was a bold one pan masterpiece with mussels, clams, shrimp, pulled chicken, and chorizo over crispy saffron rice in tomato broth. The Skor Cheesecake was amazing too, house made with little bits of Skor.
The Birria tacos were absolutely mouth watering with the slow braised brisket tacos stuffed with melted mozzarella. The consomé was house made and rich.
My brother said his shrimp tacos were good, though he wished for a 3rd. But the truffle fries were fantastic as always. I can’t recommend this establishment enough. Our server Brittany was amazing and the food was phenomenal. I’ll definitely be back, next time hopefully for brunch!
2024: What you’re looking at is the end of my best burger hunt. Turns out, the best burger was never in Regina but actually in Lumsden. This is a Swiss Mushroom Burger ($24) with Truffle Fries($4.50). And this is hands down the best burger I have ever eaten in this province by far.
The truffle fries are cut in house, tossed with FRESH herbs and topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan. They’re also served with a side of house made truffle mayo.
The bun is a soft, fresh bakery made brioche bun, burger sauce is made in house with just a little hint of spicy, the vegetables are fresh, Swiss cheese good quality and the mushrooms are roasted IN BACON FAT. The main event is the patty, and it did not disappoint. The patty is also fresh, from the butcher down the road with Saskatchewan beef. WOW just wow, does this thing taste amazing. I cannot stress just how delicious this thing was, after such a long time of trying to find a genuinely amazing burger.
They also can cook your burger to your liking. You like medium? They got you.
Everyone needs to taste this burger, it will show just how much restaurants in Regina are slacking and over charging you for Ok or shit quality food.

Great service here could not fault. This was during the wildfire smoke. People gathered inside and out. Loved the local brewing called 'Pile of bones brewing'. A reference to an old name for Regina (Wascana)
