    Was in the area and stopped by here for a quick bite. The spot looked very trendy and inviting. The worker was super nice and friendly. I got the Hot Honey 2.0 with French fries and an extra side of banana pudding. My daughter got the naughty neighbor. I was so impressed how the chicken had a nice crisp and was so juicy with a perfectly balanced flavorful honey heat. The pink lemonade tasted clean. Which is nice because I don't like when things are too sweet. The banana pudding was a small portion, it reminded me of the jello box kind, I had better. If I pass by one of these again, I'll definitely stop in for more chicken.

    My family absolutely loves this place! We have been coming here for the past three years! The food is always excellent, and the customer service is outstanding. I recently had an issue with a cancelled Uber Eats order, and while Uber Eats was no help at all, Danny from the store went above and beyond to resolve it for me. He was so helpful and kind! We'll definitely keep coming back -- my whole family loves Birdcode, and we even order from them at work. Everyone raves about it!

    Code breaker tenders

    Great chicken! Fresh chicken, clean fryer oil, really amazing to watch the efficiency of this place. Didn't care for the code breaker. While it was extremely spicy which we loved it was simply all heat with no flavor. The chicken itself was great tho, seasoned well. Great homemade ranch. Mac and cheese was underwhelming imo. Fries were good, shake seasoning was sweet to me. I'd definitely go back but would only buy chicken, as prices aren't cheap and sides weren't anything special.

    Enjoyed this chicken spot a lot. Service here was quick and the cashier was so friendly to us. There was some Chive trivia on the TV so we could play along as we ate. I like the fire chicken murals. The spicy chicken is so good here, I enjoy the spice level "hot", but the codebreaker is right at the threshold of pure pain. We got the chicken tenders, a side of the mac and cheese, as well as a single codebreaker tender with a side of the comeback sauce. The banana pudding is such an instant relief after the codebreaker. Highly recommend, you get a bottle of milk too if you need relief from the heat. Will be back for the strawberry milk

    Service was great, the ambiance was nice and clean and the food was really really good! I got the hot honey chicken sandwich. Heat level Hot. With fries and a lemonade. The chicken sandwich was super good! Crispy fresh hot and flavorful. The hot honey was a great touch for this sandwich. The fries it came with were also crispy and flavorful. I'm glad that more chicken joints like this are popping up. It blows alot of fast food chicken sandwiches out the water. Hope they open a bird code in Bridgeport someday!

    Came here to try the hot chicken. Clean restaurant with friendly staff. I order a chicken sandwich and it was good but it was very oily. Also ordered a birch beer and that was delicious. Another cool thing they do here is trivia right on the tv in dining area.

    very meaty tenders

    "Only got this moment, you and me Guilty of nothing but geography Close your eyes and see And we'll be birds flying free" (Coldplay) Nashville Hot Chicken is still blazing hot, at least in terms of its popularity and spicy heat levels. A perfect example is BIRDCODE, because when I swung by for lunch today there were zero parking spots available. Their menu is a treasure trove of chicken choices- sandwiches, nuggets, and tenders. All of them are prepared in your choice of heat level (country, mild, medium, hot and code breaker). It all depends if you want zero cayenne pepper, or something between a sprinkle and a downpour of cayenne on your chicken. Fries, bowls, salads, and sides round out the menu, so you really have a tremendous choice for your meal. After I ordered, I took a seat and a few minutes later my food was delivered to my table. I went with the Green Bird - a salad of shredded Kale, shaved Carrots, and Red Cabbage topped with three medium spiced chicken tenders served with Apple Cider Vinaigrette on the side for $14. The chicken was terrific. The tenders were big and meaty and the medium heat level was plenty for me. Bottom line? The food was very good, as was the service. Oh, and the dining room has some very cool painted artwork.

    Sandwich and wings!

    So take away is the way we have always ordered, through the app. Being able to select arrival time makes ordering here easy. Updating my last review because there are menu updates like hot honey and nuggets which were not part of the earlier review. A few of my family members like the Mando with varied levels of heat. My youngest likes the strips. I am a fan of the Hot Honey 2.0 at medium level. Hot if I am feeling rambunctious. Crinkle fries rock and the mac n cheese is great. I think this place has become better as they go! Can't wait for Canton to open! My only drawback is my 10 mile drive to the store, and dinner is usually around the end of rush hour in Hartford and WeHa! Love Birdcode!

    The Sando - With 1 Side
    Shirley F.

    Wow!!!! Talk about AMAZING chicken!!! I ordered the Sando with one side dish (Mac n Cheese)! I ordered the Mild - it had a good kick but not TOO spicy. My friend ordered the second hottest and he was sweating lol so, if you don't like extreme heat, try to Mild or Medium spice levels. Chicken was very flavorful and juicy! 10/10 recommend! The Mac n Cheese was soooooo creamy and delicious! Highly recommended it! Will say though, the chicken sandwich is VERY filling! I might just go for it without a side next time. The service was great too! They were very helpful and kind, ensuring my order was shellfish-free. Food was prepared fairly quickly. Seating area was great too (options of high bar chairs or regular chairs with tables). Can't wait to come back for lunch or dinner!

    Hot honey chicken and Shake Fries
    Heather P.

    Wow! Talk about a phenomenal sandwich! The hot honey was so delicious. Tender, full of flavor (I got mild and it had just the right amount of spice.) the fries were also great and they have birch beer! The employees were knowledgeable and friendly. Plenty of seating in the clean dining room but I bet it fills up fast at lunch and dinner. Reasonably priced meals that are tasty in every bite! Oh and that sauce!!! I used every drop!

    Interior done by Corey Pane- beautiful!

    Just went again and was amazing as always. Food was gone so quickly forgot to take pics and just had to get a snap of the banana pudding, which was also excellent!

    Recently visited this place in West Hartford. The place had a few tables inside and a couple outside. A lot of the volu.e I saw was for pickup orders. The day I went all tables were taken and it was busy. Guy at the register was frie day, no complaints there. We got the tenders and classic sandwich w mild heat. This was definitely the right level of heat as it was spicy but not too hot. Definitely you need a drink to eat comfortably. I felt the chicken was on the greasy side, but that's just my opinion, with that said the chicken was very good. We also got the season fries which were good too. Food was hot and fresh which was good, not your traditional fast food joint. Good overall, would check again in the future.

    Tenders hot
    Katherine B.

    This place was awesome! The staff is so friendly and kind. We got the hot chicken and when they warn you, listen, it was delicious but extremely spicy. I probably would get the medium instead next time but the chicken was delicious and juicy!

    Think of the "Famous Bowl" at KFC and then delete that thought from your mind. Soul bowl is…read moreabsolutely delicious. It's perfectly layered from top to bottom, bottom to top and hearty. My baby is 11 months old and she goes "Mmmm" when she tasted the spoonful of Mac & Cheese, soul rice and collard greens. Each item in the bowl stand out on their own and then compliment each other well when traveling to your tummy! I highly recommend it. PROS: Top notch customer service, flavorful, interactive self order kiosk, clean interior, great music and visually appealing wall art & food presentation. CON: Limited off street parking due to a small and busy commercial area, and I'd like to see a couple kiddie high chairs now that I'm a new mommy I notice the need. Great place! Try it and bring your family.

    I kept hearing about this soul food spot, so while I was in the Wethersfield area, I decided to…read morestop by and see what the hype was about; Soul Bowl's Restaurant. I later found out they have other locations as well. When I arrived, I noticed this is more of a grab-and-go spot. There is no seating area for dining in, just a small waiting area with a couple of chairs. Parking is street parking, so keep that in mind when stopping by. I ordered in person, and I have to say the service was quick! Within about seven minutes, my food was ready. As soon as you walk in, you can see the menu and even see the kitchen area, which I always appreciate because you can get a feel for how your food is being prepared. The employee who greeted me was very friendly and welcoming. You can also order online. I ordered the seasoned rice, shrimp, mac & cheese, and collard greens bowl. First impression... the bowl looked beautiful and was put together very nicely. Everything looked fresh and appetizing. The shrimp was sautéed in a garlic sauce and had great flavor. The mac & cheese was definitely a highlight, very cheesy! When I put my fork into it, the cheese stretched and expanded the way you hope a good mac & cheese will. The collard greens were good, although I'll be honest, I've had better. They still complemented the bowl and added that classic soul food feel. At first glance, I thought, "Is this going to be enough?" But after eating it, I was completely satisfied and full. The portion was actually just right. The price was reasonable and within the range of what many restaurants are charging today. What makes this place stand out to me is that it tastes homemade and I love fresh food made with care. My only suggestion: PLEASE consider adding cornbread to the menu (hopefully soon ). A piece of cornbread would complete this bowl meal perfectly! Overall, I would definitely recommend Soul Bowl's. Great flavors, quick service, friendly staff, and that homemade comfort-food feeling. I'm already curious to try more from their menu! What should I try next?

First off, the ambience of the place is fairly nice though you would not know it from how many of the other patrons choose to attire themselves. If you're looking for a upscale, dining experience, other patrons would suggest this is not the place for you. They started off by attending to put us at the wrong table per our reservation. The table was apparently filled, and they moved us to a different table, which was perfectly fine as it was a nice booth with a window right next to the table. They then gave us several menus from which to choose, which was confusing as there were so many different menus with similar food options, including brunch, menu, a burger, menu, a dinner menu, a Mother's Day, special menu, and the regular menu. There were also two separate drink menus. We started by ordering some drinks and an appetizer of the meat and cheeseboard for the table. We put in our full order at just before 12:59 PM and the meat and cheeseboard came out fairly quick. Overall, it was the best part of our time at the restaurant. With regards to our main meal, we had ordered an eggs, Benedict, a children's pancake and bacon, special, and a steak and eggs meal. That was apparently a mistake as it took them over one hour six minutes before the food hit the table and when it did, it was a mess. The medium rare steak was cooked to a well done with the eggs being extremely messy and not very runny for over easy. The potatoes were dark and charred in places, but we're not crispy by any stretch of the imagination. The Canadian bacon had not been rendered well on the eggs Benedict and one of the two poached eggs clearly had not been poached appropriately. Also, my daughter indicated that the syrup was way too sweet, which was especially surprising as she is someone with a sweet tooth. The pancakes themselves were extremely dense and unfair and served on a plastic tray missing one of the size that was supposed to come with the order. It is clear that the kitchen does not know what they are doing as I was the second person in a row to have issues with the cook temperature on my steak, a problem that appears to carry over to other aspects of the meal as well. At the one hour mark, I've been so frustrated. I had requested to speak with a manager and he was actually the one who brought out the food to our table. There was a good four minute gap between two of the meals being brought out and the third meal, which is what my wife had ordered for her Mother's Day brunch. By the time the eggs Benedict came out, I showed the manager my stake and eggs, and he agreed that it was cooked to a well done rather than the medium rare I had ordered. I had overheard the exact same issue on the next table over where the older woman had not gotten her meal until nearly all seven others at the table had completed their food. At that point, I sent back my steak and indicated I did not want it to be remade as I was done with the place. Shirley, thereafter, I was clear the rest of the family was of the same mind as the meals were a mess and cooked improperly. The manager eventually came over and indicated that he is going to take care of the entire CHUCK which makes sense sense more than 75% of the food ordered had been uneaten or inedible. The service was no better as waiters and waitresses would walk by and failed to refill empty water glasses, even though they would look right at the empty water glass and would have pictures of water in their hand at times. One waitress went to five separate tables around us, including table she was not serving and failed to fill our water, but filled water at other tables. Our waiter was also missing an action for a good portion of the meal. Despite having the meal taken care of, I did leave a small tip for the waiter, though nowhere near what I would have had the service been even somewhat competent. This is a major disappointment as the last experience I had at this restaurant for dinner had been so positive it convinced me to book the place for Mother's Day brunch. I'm not sure if this was a one off situation but I would never recommend a return to this place based on the experience I had this day. What's worse, our reservation appeared to fall between two rushes as we were the second table in the rush that showed up about 10 to 15 minutes after our arrival at the place. As such, our food should've been fairly quick and coming out but others who ordered their food more than 20 minutes after our table received it with no problem. I have to say that the Taco Bell we had as result of this poor food service was Myles and Myles better than the food experience at the restaurant itself.

I was here years ago, I can't remember what I had, but it was tasty, the service was friendly and the place was busy. This time my experience was entirely different. It wasn't very busy at all, there were around two tables occupied, yet the service was very slow. The menu had omelettes, waffles, etc. I was intrigued by the Home Fry Bowls. This dish features their fries, with (in my case) turkey and pear slices, topped with scrambled egg. An interesting combination of ingredients. This was made very sloppily. The turkey was an entire thin slice of turkey from Aldi. It was not cut, just thrown into the bowl. How do I know it was from Aldi? I saw them receive an Aldi order while I was waiting 40 minutes for my food. I don't have a problem with Aldi, I shop there myself. It does make me wonder how much of this meal was made in house? Or was everything purchased frozen or prepackaged? My bowl honestly wasn't very fresh or very impressive in the slightest. It was indeed a very large portion. My guest had the tuna sandwich, with fries. He inquired about the fries, our server told us they were indeed frozen. He was not impressed by the sandwich either. It is unfortunate that there's a large sign stating "Good Home Cooking". Maybe it was factual at one point, unfortunately right now it seems like a marketing ploy to get customers through the door. I cannot recommend dining here. On a side note, their plates are not blue.

We didn't get a chance to photograph our meals, but previous reviews accurately capture the appearance of the shrimp scampi. Here's a quick breakdown of our experience: The clam chowder was extremely thick and overly salty. After just a few bites, we couldn't finish more than about a quarter of the bowl. The shrimp scampi featured a generous portion of shrimp, but the dish was overwhelmed by an excessive amount of chopped tomatoes and garlic. I've never added tomatoes to scampi. The lobster and "truffle mushroom" ravioli was the biggest disappointment. There was no discernible mushroom flavor - truffle or otherwise. The ravioli was served in a light cream sauce but, once again, with an overwhelming amount of chopped tomatoes and garlic which was suspiciously the same chopped version on the scampi. The filling contained very little lobster, and the tomatoes (which tasted more like sun-dried tomatoes) dominated every bite. We enjoy both tomatoes and garlic, but their heavy use completely overpowered these dishes. Even more surprising, neither ingredient is highlighted in the menu description (see menu photos), making the dishes quite different from what we expected. We'd consider returning for fries and a beer in the bar area, but we wouldn't order entrees here.
