Matthew Manuri
Breakfast wrap was amazing and the chicken + waffles were hands down the B E S T I’ve ever tasted! Kayla one of the managers was great. New favorite Brunch spot, can’t go wrong!!!!

Austin Parker
Highly Recommend if you’re looking for some comfort food! Have been here before for brunch and enjoyed my experience so decided to give the dinner menu a try and was very happy I did. Had the glazed sticky ribs and warm Pretzels as appetizers and split the SB dunks and Smashburger. Highlight was the SB dunks, very crispy chicken bites, but everything was solid. Enjoyed their special sauce on the smashburger. Server was friendly and made helpful recommendations. We sat inside, but they have a nice outdoor seating area as well.

This is the perfect spot for chicken lovers! From their whole chicken to the dunks(fried chicken bites) which you can get with a flight of sauces. The fries are delicious and the salad is fresh even though it’s fairly wet but I like that! While there, quite a few people at neighboring tables ordered the SB chicken sandwich and devoured it so I need to return soon to get that!

It’s pricey, but very good. Bathrooms clean. Had the peri peri rotisserie chicken, was delicious with a kick. The SB dunks (nuggets) we’re perfectly fried and the sauce flight was surprising as the sauces were apparently house made. I usually don’t like dipping nugs in BBQ sauce, but theirs was great. Their rosemary and pepper fries were awesome, and also perfectly cooked. Side salad lettuce was in perfect condition. Mac and cheese had nice thick pasta that was perfectly cooked and fried bread crumbs that were great.

Fried chicken with an egg with some honey drizzle was absolutely delicious! Great customer service! At this point, I am a regular and I have tried 50% of the items on their menu. I love that order and pick up my food in 15 mins. The breakfast burrito is one of my favorites. I add bacon and an extra hash brown. The chicken and waffles make me drool lol. The waffle is fluffy and sweet. Each bite has sugar crystals. I also love their Cobb salad with rotisserie chicken. It’s perfectly seasoned.

Best chicken and best service you can get in the city. The staff was a 10/10. The waiters were pleasantly conversational and we spoke with the manager a few times as he rotated through the restaurant. Nicest guy, gave me tips for an upcoming trip. It felt like we were regulars! The food was fantastic as well, I had the hot ranch chicken sandwich and it was delicious. One of my parties is gluten free and she found many items that worked for her on the menu too. I cannot wait to go back.

To be honest, I really enjoy the food. I also like the service. But the only thing, the only thing… is that one of the servers kept on rushing me, like are you done with this? Anything else? Anything else? Here is your check… Even tho we keep ordering food but it make me feel like, I have to leave the restaurant as soon as I am done with my food. **And the restaurant was not busy at the time I had lunch there.

I just absolutely inhaled the ranch fried chicken sandwich while listening to Pretty Pimpin by Kurt Vile – legendary combo there – BUT, I’ve been to shy bird three times in the last month and I’ve just LOVED it every time. One time I went without a reservation while they were packed, they had at least a 1 hour wait for a table for two, and the staff was cool as a cucumber, super courteous, honestly they didn’t even seem phased that there was barely standing room in the building but they were like “you want some beers while you wait?” Friggin mint. I had like 3. Great stuff. Then we eventually got a seat at the bar where a guy told us Abt how he met Jimmy Buffet last night. What a rip.
