The mural on the wall won points even before we had a single bite. Beware, spice levels are not wimpy, do less rather than more and this ia coming from a real connoisseur. I will opt for Mild next time lol. Crispy chicken, seasoned, perfectly cooked, a top a brioche bun that holds up to the structural integrity which is appreciated read more

The chicken was piping hot and very, very moist. Nice job! Batter fell right off the chicken wish that didn't happen. Fries should have been crispier (love crinkle cut fries!!) and portion was on the small side. Chicken was 3 strips - adequate if you're not super hungry. Wait time was longer than expected but they were very busy with both eat in abd take out. It was about $17 with a soda I guess that's the going rate these days for fast food. It was ok but could have been better with more abd crispier fries. read more

The flavor of their chicken can definitely improve. I thought I couldn't go wrong with chicken tenders but the spice is weirdly bland with a weird flavor. Nothing that actually tastes like chicken in my opinion. The fries were great, the sauce is good. But.. for this I rather eat chick fila or something. Save your money read more

BIRDCODE - Mild chicken tenders and regular fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Vernon, Connecticut

So the chicken sandwich was mad spicy, the fries were crinkle cut and crispy, and they had a tangy sauce similar to Raising Cane's, and thank god they had free refills because charging for those would be a war crime with how hot the food was. I was sweating. The place itself was chill and clean, and the food came out quicker than I expected. The guy up front was pretty cool. I'm definitely coming back here. read more

BIRDCODE - medium spicy chicken sandwich with fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Vernon, Connecticut

Chicken not edible. Very very very spicy. I will never spend another cent or minute there. Amen

A very solid chicken sandwich sand giant tenders. Heat has no flavor, but they know how to fry chicken. I've eaten at this place twice. Once as a DoorDash order and the other as a sit in. With the DoorDash order, I got tenders and bites with Mac and cheese and fries. The tenders were huge, a three piece would be a meal for the biggest of appetites. The Mac and cheese was not so great, cheese sauce flavor was weak but the pasta was cooked well. The chicken bites were a little tough, and the fried items all got steamed so they were not as crispy. To give them a fair try, I went to their location and ordered to dine in. Cashier was incredibly friendly and helpful. I got their signature sando along with fries and a cookie. Food came out quick and I dug in. One thing I can say for certain is that they know how to cook chicken. For the larger pieces, they always came out juicy and tender. The Sando was no exception, and it was a very good piece of chicken. The bread was toasted and buttered, which is a nice touch. The vinegar slaw was light and refreshing vs the heavy fried batter and buttered bread, and the pickles gave the salty crisp that the sandwich needed So long as you got a bite of everything, it was delicious. For the bites that you miss a pickle or don't have sauce, you definitely notice it missing. It's finely balanced on the ratios, but relies on them to give the perfect bite. That being typed, it is a delicious bite when you get it. So although it's not perfect for each bite, it's perfect enough to enjoy it when you do. The fries are better fresh out the frier, but are kinda generic. The "shake" seasoning gives them some flavor but the fries are too thin to give you the fluffy potato portion but are also oddly cut to prevent them from being too crispy. You need their "comeback" sauce to eat them, and I'd imagine most throw them away. My only other gripe is their heat. I like hot foods, but I like my heat to bring flavor with it. The heat here is just heat, combined with a paprika hit. I like a little sweet and earthy with my heat, but the only difference between medium and mild is the amount of cayenne you get. But these are all nitpicks. As a chicken sandwich place, it does a good job of balancing flavors and making the chicken the star of the show. Their sides are an afterthought, but the star of the show is very much the star. I give them a five with a caveat that you go only if you want fried chicken. It's the best in the area and very good overall. read more

Arrived around 2pm for a late lunch. No one was there. Placed our order and watched it sit under a heat lamp for 4-5 minutes while the counter girl waited on another customer. When she brought it over the "mild" spice was very hot and too spicy and the fries were lukewarm. Could be too hot because the sauce was also hot which we didn't know. Have to ask for straws and ketchup which I hate, $35 for a chicken sandwich meal and tenders meal. Meh. There are better options. read more

Excellent food. Extremely simple place with a signature chicken sandwich that is just plain great! I love the fact that they make no bones about amping up the heat. Hot is very hot. read more

The Bird Code Location in Vernon just opened 2 weeks ago. I ordered the medium heat chicken and it was too much for me to handle. I asked the manager if I could switch it for the country heat and he was so nice to let me do that. It's nice that the manager cares and did that cause I'd he didn't I wouldn't return. I would have tossed it as it was too hot of dry rub and didn't care for it. So when you order make sure you go w the heat you think you can handle. I would stick to the country heat. The chicken is very good and not greasy at all. I got the fries w my order along w their specialty sauce which was all very good and it comes w a drink of your choice. I would definitely go back and try the macaroni and cheese next time. I like it better than the Raising Cane. It's a cute place and very warm. read more

First time trying the hot chicken place just opened one in Vernon CT next to home sense. Came with family of 4. We tried The Sando, Classic Naughty neighbor Tenders. Went for the hot spicy level. I was warned by the staff to watch spice level, as I asked for a code breaker which is a dry rub it contained higher scoville score Just to try the spice level, I ordered the tenders with the code breaker dry rub. I was really surprised with the hotness of the fried chicken, it was a complete sinus cleanse, enjoyed it. I would recommend to get a shake with your food if you are going for the spicier options. The place is a sit down, where you order your food at a counter and come sit down. Walls pained with chicken on fire and shows the vibe. Really good tasting hot chicken, I would say it is better than Raising canes it is less salty and less oily, larger size portion in comparison. If you can take the heat definitely go for the spice level mild and above. Little pricy though for the experience, prices could be slightly lower. Will return soon with friends. read more

Got two sandwiches and a milkshake for take out. They ran out of oreo so we opted for the vanilla milkshake and it was pretty lackluster and kinda lumpy. The fry on the chicken sandwiches were pretty good but got to be a bit much as some bites were only crispy bits of grease. The chicken tasted like it was recently thawed so I didn't experience the juicy meaty bite I was hoping for. I think my side of mac and cheese was the highlight of this experience. Probably won't give it another shot any time soon as it is more on the pricier side of fast food take out. read more

BIRDCODE - Hot Honey 2.0 - With 1 Side and Classic - Chicken Shop Near Me - Vernon, Connecticut

The Sando was one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. Crispy, juicy and the mild was spicy! I have good heat tolerance but thought it was spicy for mild. I wouldn't go any hotter personally. Only downside is the sandwich was $13. It's bigger than the chick filet spicy chicken but not sure it's 40% bigger as the price is. But I loved it read more

Meh Tender coating looked good Chicken tender but salty The comeback sauce was supposed to be ketchup n mayo - the girl didn't mention it was spicy too. No barbecue is offered? it's like do you like it Mike's way at Jersey Mike's? but then have it the way you want. Here its their way or the highway i like a straw with my drink also first time last time. read more

Birdcode is a complete letdown. Coworkers in the City love their location in Fairfield county, so I've been trying it up here with terrible results.The chicken is bland, with no difference between mild and medium spice... it all just tastes bad. It's essentially grease being sold for double of what you can get somewhere else. I ordered delivery with a friend and sides were missing, the cookies were stale, and when I called, the manager told me to "deal with it." When I went in on a separate occasion, I can only assume it was the same short, heavy-set guy with AirPods in. He was rude and dismissive to employees and customers the entire time. Utterly useless General Manager. Clearly, they can't afford a real GM if they're paying this guy anything at all. I really hope their corporate team handles this incompetent dunce accordingly. 2-3 bad experiences over multiple months now... but the most recent visit was enough to warrant a cumulative review. Let's be honest here: Chick-fil-A isn't messing this up, and Cane's isn't messing this up. It's unfortunate, really. The store was dead-empty when we last went in at dinner. I'll probably only return once it's converted to a better restaurant that doesn't smell like sewage. read more

I didn't have much hope for this place but I stand corrected. I had the Sando. It was hot crispy spicy juicy. The chicken to bun ratio was perfect. Bun was soft and fresh. Coleslaw was simply dressed and served as a nice accompaniment to the sandwich. The fries were fresh and hot. The dipping sauce was flavorful. I have no complaints and will definitely return. read more

While a Chicken sandwich can be expensive, it is really solid. Can't miss the beat, defeating KFC's own version. This restaurant seems somewhat upscale. The menu is decent and their food is really good. I really liked the Hot Honey chicken sandwich. It is really busy there. read more

Never messes up our order. Always delicious. I trust them, which comes rarely nowadays. Thank you birdcode!

My wife got some takeout here. All I can say is bleah. Dried out, lightly breaded rubbery chicken that had seasoning SPRINKLED on it after it came out of the frier. The mildest version sprinkled-on seasoning was hot but not flavorful, just salty. How sad that these cheap franchise places come in and don't even seem to try. Next time I'm going to Little Mark's across the street, a locally-owned authentic barbecue place that has fantastic food. read more

Definitely not worth $13 , bland , bread tasted stale, barely any slaw on the sandwich,

if I could give it zero stars, I would they charge you over $32 for food, it's very small. The receptionist didn't understand information. The french fries come with every entrée that you order. She was supposed to give me fries with each of the entrées, and she replaces it with the side that for another side and replace that for the french fries. then when I asked about where my french fries she tells me she'll charge me for another side of french fries. I'm telling anybody do not come to the Vernon one they suck. I will never be coming back in here again. read more

Wow. This is so good. We had the Sando- country spice. Messy but darn good sandwich. Do not sleep on this place. Worth it.

Birdcode serves up excellent chicken. If you like serious heat, their highest spice levels deliver. it's The place was impressively clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful, especially for a quick-service spot. Prices certainly feel high for fast food chicken, but they're in the same price range as their competitors in the area, so I can't hold it against them. If you're in the area and craving a chicken sandwich, it's worth checking out. read more

Ordered Code Bites and a side of vinegar slaw. I was given like 20 cents worth of dry unflavored shredded cabbage for $4. Not worth it! The Code Bites were tender but the amount I was given was not worth $9. I got 3 pickles and just enough Comback sauce for about half the order of bites. Gave it a try but just not impressed. read more

Food is good wait is way too long if they fix the wait time will be good I had no other complains

Fries way too salty to eat. Chicken was stringy and odd. Sadly this won't be a repeat option for our family.

It was ok, nothing to brag about on anything. I was not impressed at all. I had a side of Mac and cheese and it tasted like glue. The staff was quick to take your order and friendly read more

Great place! Great chicken! I'm giving 4 stars for the service. I went around 4:50pm for my order to pick up, I arrived early at 4:45 and my order was completed and my food was barely Warm. Now I know this place just opened up and I have been to the West Hartford location before so I'm going to not be so critical about this and hopefully they get everything squared away. Where I have my biggest problem is there was 2 people at the counter, 1 taking orders and 1 behind the counter basically walking around in circles. There was a clear line of 3-4 people waiting for their pick up orders as he continued to just picking up and placing down a paper bag while walking in a circle. Finally he asked us if we needed anything and we all got our orders. Also, Not to mention I got the wrong order, I'm not gonna get made about it because it was what I ordered but with extra tenders, but what's funny is that the box with the tenders clearly had a different name on it than the name on the bag! Again mistakes happen but again training matters. Again hopefully their employees get better so I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt because the West Hartford location is great, but not a good start for a new location in my opinion. read more

They sure know how to make a good chicken sandwich. Breaded perfectly, juicy, and tasty. But unless you like it how they make it, you're out of luck. They have their house sauce, which was way too sweet for my taste. They don't have mayonnaise, which is a common condiment for s chicken sandwich. They serve fries, but do not have salt packets. And I requested s straw for my dogs and was told no, as thhe straws are only four milkshakes. if you like it their way, you will love it. If you want it your way, you're out of luck. read more

Nice space and good food. I stopped by for a quick bite and the staff was very friendly. The chicken is crispy and the portions are large. The fries were hot, crispy and flavorful. My one complaint is that the chicken tastes a little bland if you're not a sauce lover you might not like it. Also charging $1 for a sprinkle of seasoning to make a side of Mac and cheese a "shake" is over the top I won't bother next time. The Mac and cheese was very good and doesn't need the shake. read more

Very exhoie kinda a factory aesthetic for the seating area. Chicken sandwich and tenders were of restaurant quality. I got medium heat and it's a bit hot so fair warning. Now the negative, a sandwich and fries and chicken tenders and fries with drinks was just too high for me to make this a repeat. If I am paying restaurant prices I would rather go to a restaurant. read more

First time tonight and will be back! Party of four with 3 Sando combos and 1 Green Bird. Food was good and chicken very moist, a little pricey. We got our order to go and they forgot one of the fries with our combos. If getting the salad, make sure to ask for utensils and check your order before leaving. read more

Gummy chicken, supermarket fries, and a cookies and cream milkshake that quite possibly didn't have any cookies or ice cream in it. It also would've been nice to have a few napkins to wipe the vile sauce off of our fingers, but alas, it was not to be. read more

Definitely not worth 40$. The mac and cheese was cold, the fries weren't anything to right home about and the service wasn't great. Also, the woman putting the food together never changed her gloves between touching her nose/face, taking people's orders and serving food. No thank you! read more

One of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in a while. Seasoned to perfection and crispy, and the sauce??!?!! Yeah, I'll be a regular for sure!!!! read more

This place just opened and i have been blown away. Fresh, crispy fried chicken with the perfect amount of heat. Try the lemonade! It is the perfect finisher to an amazing meal. read more

I purchased a grilled chicken sando, med heat, with comeback sauce. It was just ok, I wouldn't order again. Good quality chicken but no flavor or heat. Extremely messy sandwich; lots of liquid dripping and slaw sliding off the sandwich. Willing to try their fried chicken sandwich in the future but the grilled chicken was definitely a disappointment. read more

Amazing food and atmosphere!! Was blown away when i walked in and greeted by humble hospitality and service. So glad you guys opened up a store closer to me , I WILL be coming back! read more
