    Enjoyed the chicken ceasar grilled chicken sandwich. The parmesan crisp added dome crunch and price was good at $9. Also we'll seasoned tater tots were unique.

    7-Strip meal with fries. For the sauces, I chose honey mustard, and sriracha aioli.

    Best fried chicken place I've tried in a while. The chicken is so succulent, crispy and flavorful, that I am in heaven with every bite. The best tell of good fried chicken strips, is how it stands up on its own without sauce. And my gosh, it's fantastic just as is! The last time I went, the order was taken quite quickly, accurately, and all with a very friendly demeanor. Additionally, this is one of the freshest chicken places I've been to. Everything is made to order, PIPING hot. Every time I've gone, I've had such a toss up between fries and their tater tots. Both are so good, but the tater tots always seem to have a sour cream & onion flavor, which elevates them even more. The food, friendly service, and also very clean, bright environment makes this particular location very special. I look forward to eating here many, MANY more times. (Also, for an extra kick, try the Nashville hott tenders. They are BOMB!)

    The Bee's Knees

    I was in craving for chicken sandwiches & a somewhat healthy salad. It was like a ... calling -- so I picked the Birdcall. I was disappointed ! It was a quick process to order & ready - the pick up part was a little confusing. The drive through was long, after I waited a bit & decided to park and came in. The place is nice, clean, and roomy inside. I can see my food bag with name on it and ready to for pick up, to confirm with the Uber Eat app. However, at counter, it was super busy with customers. There was only one server / cashier / worker... doing multiple things -- I feel bad for her. There are other people head off me picking up their food bag in a nicely organized & numbered slots -- however, my order (bag) was not . I waited a few more mins...finally !!! The food: 1. The Caesar Salad was very disappointing-- not fresh ingredients (old / brown pieces pf lettuce); and the portion is sadly small for $12.95. The tater tots were also small (about 16 pieces) for $4.90. It tasted okay -- a lot of different flavors, not much my favorites. The Bee Knee's sandwich was okay -- by the time I tasted it, it was a bit soggy, the over flavor was not really good. I felt a bit gullible about my "calling" for The Birdcall sandwich. I overly expected a fast food chains to fulfill a craving for a super tasty chicken sandwich.

    Tater Tots

    A solid choice for a chicken sandwich! We came in around early lunch time and we enjoyed some tater tots, loaded tater tots, and the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. I normally prefer and eat hotter chicken sandwiches, and while this one wasn't as hot as I'd normally eat, it was quite good! Chicken was cooked very well and the bread was a good quality. Not the best sandwich I've ever had, but very good, and I'd definitely come back again to try another sandwich. The tater tots were the star of the show, though! Both ways, regular and loaded, were excellent! Plenty of herbs/seasonings on the original tots, and the loaded tots were absolutely smothered in yummy ingredients like diced tomato, big chunks of bacon, green onion, and more! If you come here, definitely try the loaded tots!

    Tasty, convenient, consistent! I've been here twice now with friends and our kiddos! It's easy to get to - right on 7th St. They have their own parking lot with plenty of spaces. Ordering is self-serve on kiosks but they always have someone right there to assist you if needed. The food has a lot of flavor and they have some great sauce options! There's also adult beverages fyi!

    Expired ranch on salad
    Maddy G.

    I'm really sick to my stomach. I went through the drive-thru at the Birdcall down the street from my house because I love the chopped salad and tater tots. Tater tots were amazing, but it seems like the ranch that was packed in my salad had expired. It was both very thin with THICK CHUNKS. Of course I didn't think it would be like that when I poured it out, so I ruined the whole thing. It's an expensive salad. I don't want to risk trying to scrape it off or eat around it. I'm so, so disappointed.

    2/8/25: Short version - meh. Food was all right, drinks were better, store could have used some cleaning, it was empty, had no interaction with the staff. You order, you wait, you pick it up from a bay. Long version - arrived this particular Saturday around 4 pm. Plenty of parking, significantly sized patio, absolutely no one eating inside but us. You place your order at the kiosk, watch the TV screen for your name & order status, pick up your grub from the bay, get your own drinks. I think the 15% tip was too much. We saw bits of food on the bench near where we chose to sit, another table had food on it & one of the chairs, so yeah, not sure clean up is their top priority. We could have moved but it didn't feel like playing musical chairs looking for a pristine place to dine. ;-) Their drinks are what stand out the most. I discovered 1/2 coconut & 1/2 root beer is a great concoction! The buffalo burger was all right, as was the grilled Caesar. The slaws were okay; I will say my sister's buffalo blue cheese slaw was much tastier than the honey ginger slaw I ordered (not enough honey or ginger). All in all, nothing to brag about. No reason to return, or even try another location.

    I've been meaning to try Birdcall for a while and was pleasantly surprised when they opened a location in CenPho. The facility is neat and clean. It may even be brand new. I believe it sits on the property once occupied by a fast food burger chain, but it now looks entirely different. If you're on the go, a drive thru is available. The service was fast and friendly. When I walked in, an employee asked if it was my first visit and educated me on their offerings. You can use a kiosk to place your order, but the employee was nice enough to place it for me. I grabbed a fountain drink and found a table, then my order arrived moments later. I think orders are usually available for pickup at a dedicated station, but the employee was, once again, nice enough to assist me by bringing it to the table. (While I don't think they formally offer table service, the same employee even checked on me later.) I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich which was okay, though didn't "wow" me. For a side, I requested the Shaved Brussels Sprouts. While I like Brussels Sprouts, this side dish didn't do it for me. It tasted bitter and I'd pass on it next time. Overall, the standout of my experience was the Customer Service which is greatly appreciated.

    5-Piece Chicken Tenders
    Sharon C.

    Amazing chicken! Stopped by here before a hike and got 5 piece chicken tenders. Came out super hot and crispy. The worker was very friendly and attentive even though we were just ordering on the kiosk. Portions are good for the price (like $9 or $10 for 5 big tenders). The bathrooms here are huge for some reason. Spacious with lots of seating both inside and outside. Very clean. Free private parking lot. Definitely want to come back for their sandwiches!

    A few cold fries to go with your cold sandwich

    It was after the lunch rush, ordered a sandwich and fries (got maybe 15 fries) and a salad. Sandwich and fries were cold, salad had very little chicken on it. Waited 20 minutes in a drive-thru, no cars in front or behind us, didn't see anyone inside so they can't blame it on being busy. I actually emailed to let them know, had to upload the receipt because why would you trust someone who's not happy with your establishment, right? Waste of nearly $30. Oh, their response was a recap of the issues I had and I believe they actually said sorry. First time and it is the last time!

    I think I found my new favorite place! This chicken restaurant blows those "other" ones out of the water! The chicken sandwiches were so tasty, especially with the herb mayo - but they have a lot of choices. The best part is, Birdcall does not use MSG in their products so I can eat them which I'm so happy about! I love the streamlined ordering here and love getting to see the time on my order, and when it will be done. The tater tots are so good! The seasoning on them is perfection. I really love their sodas, like the root beer and cherry creme. They're so delicious. The decor is nice and the vibes are really fun and laidback. The restaurant was very clean! Drew was a great employee; she answered all of my questions and helped us with the menu since it was our first time. I really love Birdcall and cannot wait for my next visit!

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Cheba Hut is a cannabis-themed sub shop eatery, and parking ended up being manageable. The place was very busy when I arrived, so I grabbed a seat at the bar. The bartender was clearly juggling a lot but stayed friendly and personable. The place was super clean, and I immediately loved the laid-back neighborhood vibe near Roosevelt Row. I ordered the French dip sub along with a munchie- pretzel nugs. Cheba offers three sandwich sizes (Nug, Pinner, and Blunt), which makes ordering easy depending on your appetite. Everything came out fresh and flavorful, and the pretzel mugs were especially good, soft and salty, Parking here is a little more limited than some other locations, but overall I really enjoyed my first visit and was happy to learn there are multiple Cheba Hut locations around town. I'll definitely be back.

This was my second Cheba Hut experience and it will not be my last. When you find a special sandwich place you just can't keep yourself away. The ultimate test of time - I ordered their Italian. They give it their own twist and it delivers. Everyone working there is super friendly, and there is a ton of seating. Very cool casual sandwich spot.
