Locals hype this place up for the chicken but I don't see why. It's fried as advertised but had no discernable flavor other then the breading. I ordered the lo mein. The noodles were over cooked to the point that they were almost mush. They also had no flavor. The games were either not working at all or barely working. Why have 2 Mario kart machines if you can't race each other. $2 for two people to play table top electronic pong seems high. The staff saved this from being a 1 star review. Everyone is bright and chipper. Bring cash as the machines all take quarters but the restaurant doesn't have a way of charging your bill and giving you a roll. If the food were good the arcade games would still hurt this review and the opposite is the same. This place has a lot of work to do to get a 5 star review.

Gamebird’s theme nights are awesome!Monday night is burger night.Thursday it turns into an old school red sauce joint.And Sundays…Sundays are for shots.Great selection of gin and tequila. Craft cocktails and crazy good food. Don’t skip the filipino spring rolls.

This place is a great idea and would be loads of fun if the arcade games actually worked. We spent half our time there navigating broken machines and trying to recover captured quarters. Please focus on maintaining machines at which time I’d love to return.

10/10 Delicious. The fried chicken takes you on a tangy flavorful journey down south. The Lumpia(spring rolls) and Vada Pav were like nothing we had tasted before. Fresh spices and fabulous combos.The games were a blast, especially the old school Mario cart! We will definitely be back!!!

GameBird is a place that you must try for good eats! It is sad that it does not have the best atmosphere for dining, but the food is yummy!The whole chicken is crunchy and delicious! The biscuits are moist on the inside and buttery, the crust was a bit too done, but the taste was phenomenal! The spring rolls were incredibly flaky and stuffed with meat-- the deviled eggs were extraordinary! And the Mac and cheese, for me, was bland. It could be a bit more cheesy. Overall great food!

Omgoodness what a bad experience. Lots of the games eat your money and just old. The tables and whole place is filthy. I had to spit out my chicken as it tasted rancid, food took nearly over an hour to come out. Green beans were straight from a can, mac and cheese tasted like plain unseasoned overdone pasta/mush, you have to pay for ranch and hot sauce, self serve water from a communal cooler with cafeteria cups. I was so skeeved by the whole experience and left hungry and worried I’d have food poisoning. Bathrooms are like janitor closets.

None of the games work. I understand it’s hard to get arcade maintenance in rural VT but ffs, if the games are going to be inconsistent, maybe charge less than $1/game. Such a

Always a good time for the whole family, a great afternoon spot where you can game, have a beer and eat some fried chicken, all in the middle of downtown Ludlow. Requires some patience as it can get busy but plenty to do while you wait.

Chef Logan makes incredible dishes, the staff is super friendly, and the retro games are awesome!
Gamebird sells their Fried Chicken As if it were World Renowned, and Gourmet, when really it is NOTHING More than Chicken that’s Salty AF, Triple Fried in MSG, which is LESS than mediocre, at BEST. You would think a self Proclaimed Top Notch Chef, such As, Westin Nichols, would have a Bit more imagination, and a far More, Creative and extensive Menu at his establishment. The Food is very Expensive for Fried Chicken, French Fries and pickles, and The Chef, Westin, is A Clown! When considering dining options in Ludlow, Skip Gamebird, and Go to DJ’s Restaurant, which is just down the road, you won’t be disappointed, Great Atmosphere, Food And Service.

We had a lot of fun! Service was excellent! It was a nice time with the kids, fun had by all!
Prices are outrageous! Quality of fried chicken wasn't close to what they charge and the sides are terrible!
