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.

Code breaker tenders
Amelia Z.

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.

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!

Sando sandwich with seasoned fries
Hyewon K.

Amazing staffs (Wayne and another I don't catch name and fast turnout of food. Got me and my son Sandi's with medium heat! Amazing flavors packed into the sandwich. The sweet tea was good too! Gotta come back again.

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.

We arrived as soon as they opened and within ten minutes the place was full of people ordering …read more The staff were all really friendly and attentive. They had just gotten new kiosk ordering so they were learning the system and helping us at the same time . Not a huge place or anything fancy but they make up for it with the food ! THE BEST waffles I've ever had -hands down! So fluffy , flavorful and covered in powered sugar . Chicken tenders were seasoned really well and not fried hard . Loved that it was not processed fake chicken . Again , nothing fancy but the food is the star there !

Rooster's on Main Street is finally open! I've been waiting for a while I feel like. I've been told…read morethey've only been open for two months. Apparently the most popular item are their tenders and I will agree! It's delicious! The 10-pc tenders are decently sized for $16.99. As soon as I walk-in, I am greeted with a beautiful smile and a friendly host! I also got the waffle fries and Mac and cheese with this order okay a Strawberry milkshake that looks very appetizing! The chicken is peppery and crunchy. The waffle fries are also well seasoned. I can't wait to try the Mac and cheese when I get home! They have an assortment of sauces with varying heat. Will you play it safe or you will you take the risk and sweat it! The business is clean and well kept. The colors are vibrant and very inviting. They have a good view of Main Street too!

Went to Fire x Forge last evening and it was amazing. What an incredible cause and experience…read more First of all the space is stunning. It's incredible to see the restoration of a historic building. We had reservations and were seated promptly. Our server Shamille was attentive, made great suggestions and took care in explaining the mission and impact they are having on the community. The food: -Biscuits were TOP NOTCH. The warm flavors and flakiness were to die for. -The hummus was also amazing. Perfect seasoning and flavors. Lavender lemonade? So Good! -All of the mains were good; we had the ribs, beef shoulder, Mahi with banana leaf and mahi tacos. Flavors were good, albeit spicy on a couple. -The ají verde sauce is no joke lol definitely has a kick. For the kitchen: larger pieces of fish, a slaw or cilantro crema and cotija would elevate the tacos. The flavors were good, but the taco was a little empty. Also perhaps drops of the verde sauce on the ribs versus a drizzle to tone down the heat so nothing takes away from the flavor which was amazing by the way. Epically delicious! Desserts: -The cheesecake was nice, soft and not too sweet. -The marshmallow was like a mochi. You had to chew it well before swallowing but it was well executed and delicious. -The sweet potato cobbler would probably be better as a crisp with an herbed streusel. The ice cream was amazing! All in all it was SO WORTH it. Everyone did a fantastic job and we were so proud of the work they all are doing. We will definitely recommend to others and will return.

We arrived with a large group without reservations, kinda chose it on a whim, so we had to wait a…read morebit but it was fine, we were shortly accommodated. The place looked spacious and with a lot of light, it looked clean and they seemed to have a nice selection of wines (for those that like it) , they were displayed for people to see, which I thought looked very nice. I went to the restroom to wash my hands and I found it odd that there was only 1 restroom for the size of the restaurant. Our waiter was nice, he took our order and we were excited. The food took a VERY long time, we were starving, and we had kids with us so that wasn't good. Some of our orders were wrong and so unfortunately we had to wait even longer for the right meal. We didn't order alcohol but we did older a couple of mocktails. I was SUPER excited for them because that's something I always appreciate at a restaurant. I'm sad to say that they were AWFUL!! straight up syrup, not bubbly (some were supposed to have soda in them) not sweet, simply not enjoyable at all, I ended up switching it for a simple club soda, I figured it was a safe bet. When my food came out, it was ok, I had the avocado toast, and it was forgettable, my sister had the chicken and waffles and now THAT was the meal to get, it was large in portion and that chicken was beyond tasty!! My other sister has the lomito sandwich with the chips and it was good, something missing but she enjoyed it. The rest of the food were burgers and they were ok, the kids had burgers and Mac and cheese and they were not tasty according to the children's disinterest in barely touching their food (and they love cheeseburgers). I'm always willing to bypass certain things as long as customer service delivers BUT unfortunately they fell short. We were celebrating an engagement and so we were all very happy and in a great mood, when suddenly workers around us were cleaning up the neighboring tables, and even sweeping very close to us. We thought the place was possibly closing? (Even though it was only 2:15pm). I asked if they were closing and they said that they close the restaurant from 3-4 so their employees can go eat .... I'm not against giving them a break BUT, it really felt like they were kicking us out, we felt pressured to eat fast and wrap it up, not a good feeling, when you are in the zone of happiness. It was our first time there so, I would have appreciated if they would have informed us that the restaurant takes a little break in between and then we would have decided if we wanted to stay or go elsewhere. They did bring a little dessert and 2 mocktails for the newly engaged which was nice, I'll give them that. Overall, I don't think the food and experience was worth me coming back or recommending this place, I'm sure there's other much better places.
