A delicious easy option for fried chicken lover! I came a simple bite and sat outdoor with a really nice view as well. I got the blazing fries (mild) and a drink and i had a great time enjoy my yummy bites. The fries were loaded with fried chicken and mac and cheese and hot sauce. Each were delicious on their own as well as being combined. Crunchy fries, flavorful chicken a slight kick, and cheesy mac oddly works well together. I imagine their other items would be good to try as well!

First time here, we got the chicken sandwich with hit flavor and the blazin fries with the extra hot. The Hot is perfect and the extra hot is the max I would be able to handle. I would say be cautious of the extra hot but get it if you want a challenge.

I tried the white meat with fries which included a breast and wing, spiced with your choice of heat (hot of course), served with sliced bread, dill pickles, spicy fries, and one sauce. The heat level was perfect as it was spicy but not too spicy where I couldn’t enjoy the chicken.

Hands down the best “Nashville Hot Chicken” we’ve had. So juicy on the inside with just the right amount of crunch on the outside. The spice levels are legit, and the sauces are great. Choose an entree, I recommend the chicken breast sandwich, pick a spice level, choose your side, the mac n’ cheese was delicious, and add a sauce, the “Big Sexy” sauce puts Franks to shame. Clean and friendly interior and a great patio. This is how chicken should be done – Highly recommended!

OK it was wonderful. They have improved over the couple years since they opened delicious. But one huge complaint I have is when I looked at the menu board and ordered through the drive-through it showed the sandwich with fries it detailed that it came with a comeback sauce and showed a picture of a side of come back sauce. When I got to the window he said oh it doesn’t come with the sauce come back sauce and I’m like the picture shows it it says it on the description and he argued with me no it doesn’t just ketchup. That’s just crazy to me and I am posting a picture to show you . they need to change that if they don’t want to give you a side of sauce need to take that off the picture. Otherwise great

The food is really good and spicy however they ask you in the Drive-Thru if you want to tip 15 or 20%. And that’s ridiculous and I felt like they gave us less fries because I said no to tipping. Stop trying to force your customers to tip and just pay your employees especially when a meal is $15 already and you don’t get a drink * the food is actually spicy like actually

Very good chicken, decent amount of seat yourself seating, but very Nashville Hot seasoning on fries and chicken. If you are not a spicy hot food person order the chicken with no seasoning and you will thoroughly enjoy. I ordered mild but that cleaned out my sinuses lol. It was a good chicken place but as with all restaurant chicken prices right now a bit high for the amount of chicken you received. Overall great choice for a quick meal after sightseeing or hiking.

I saw several people recommend this place on a Phoenix foodies group and I was glad I remembered it while passing through Sedona on the way home. My boyfriend had the Mac and cheese chicken sandwich with no spice and I had the two piece with mild spice and a side of macaroni. I don’t always handle spice well but this was the perfect amount for me. Jay Bird’s chicken was crunchy, juicy, and delicious! We both enjoyed the macaroni and cheese as well as the fries. If this place were closer, I’d definitely visit often! Hoping they open a location in the valley someday. Thank you for the delicious food.
