So fun!
Paula M.

I have never had a bad meal here... Service is amazing. The kids are always great... The management staff is always great! And it is one of the coziest, most friendly places to eat.

CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICH
Andrea G.

The vibe here is pretty modern the place looks clean and has a great outdoor space as well, which is usually lacking in this area. You order and grab your food at the counter, so there isn't much actual service, but the cashier was friendly. The chicken sandwich is nothing to write home about. It's pretty average, and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this one and a chick fila sandwich. It only comes with pickles and sauce on it, so it's pretty plain. The fries were crispy and the seasoning tasted good, but they were a tad overzealous on how much seasoning they threw on them.

PBLT

I had dinner tonight at Bird in the hand in Elkhart. I was eating alone and I asked for a recommendation. A very nice man smuggest the special (PBLT) a Pork Belly lettuce and Tomato. I added the season French fries and a bottle of Gumball Head beer from 3 Floyds. The sandwich is amazing. I little spicy and plenty of flavor. The French fries are nicely seasoned and were great with the sandwich. I will be recommending this restaurant to friends and family.

Food was good- chicken tenders and sandwich. Not exceptional so I wouldn't drive out of my way for it.

Previous visits have been good, see my earlier review on Brass Elk. However, my most recent visit…read more2/21/26 was not good. Went for lunch, and was quite disappointed. On the good side, service was good, servers were friendly, tried to be helpful, food came out quickly. I found their system confusing though, as you didn't have one server, they all stopped at the table at various times. Food was disappointing. Wife had the Reuben sandwich. Reuben should be corned beef, what she had was NOT corned beef, it looked like roast beef, she said it tasted like leftover prime rib from last night. The fries were good though. I had angel hair pasta shrimp scampi. The shrimp was good, properly cooked without being rubbery, good flavor. The angel hair was badly overcooked, clumpy, mushy. Angel hair is easy to overcook, because it's so thin, but if you are going to offer it on the menu, the cooks need to know how to keep an eye on it. The worst part was the noise/music/DJ. It was so horribly loud, we could not talk. The next table were screaming at each other to be heard. We asked the servers, twice, to turn it down. The first said it was some sort of event, the DJ was running it, and they couldn't change it. The second said she would ask the manager, and I saw her walk up the the manager, talk to him, and saw him shake his head. I opened up the decibel meter on my phone, and it recorded an average of 87 decibels, with a peak of 90 decibels. Equivalent to a large lawn mower. Hearing protection recommended for extended exposure. In retrospect, we should have left when they first said no. We did see another couple who did leave. I would have given 1 star, but because we've had good experience in the past, I'll average it as a 2 star.

Worst Reuben sandwich for $19 I've ever had. It was sloppy and dripping with an over mayonnaise…read morethousand island. I got tough to chew slices that tells me it's no where near fresh. I loved the few fries I got but 90% were bottom of the fryer trash.
