If you're looking for a spot in Fargo that truly gets dietary needs, Brew Bird is a gem. As someone who appreciates solid gluten-free and dairy-free options (without feeling like I'm sacrificing flavor), this place absolutely delivered. The menu has several clearly marked GF/DF choices, and it's refreshing to see more than just a token salad. The fried chicken options especially stood out crispy, flavorful, and surprisingly light for being allergen-friendly. You can tell they've put thought into their ingredients rather than treating it like an afterthought. Vibes are cozy and casual with a fun local atmosphere -- perfect for a relaxed lunch or casual dinner. Service was friendly, helpful with answering ingredient questions, and didn't make dietary restrictions feel like an inconvenience (huge plus!). read more

Brew Bird - New American Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

The staff were nice and I loved the atmosphere. However, the food was just OK. I paid $20 (with a 15% tip) for three chicken strips, fries, and a drink, and it all got tossed when I got home. What I found most off putting was the tipping. You go to the front to order your meal, get your own fountain drink, and then are prompted to tip 15%, 20%, 25%, or 30%. Who thinks simply bringing food to a table is deserving of a 30% tip? Maybe some people feel that way, but it felt excessive for the level of service. Again, the staff were nice and I liked the atmosphere, but the price of subpar food combined with the tipping setup is enough to make me not want to go back. read more

Yummy gluten free vegetarian options like cauliflower wings and gluten free Mac. Plus $2 pounders for happy hour!

The food was terrible and overpriced. The only people who eat here are people who think pepper is spicy (sorry) and have no idea what good food tastes like, and I, who usually finishes my food, couldn't finish that meal due to how much flavor was lacking. The food looks great, but once you take a bite, your mouth becomes full with disappointment. I ordered the Fargo hot chicken sandwich. It had an interesting taste and a kick to it. But although it was spicy, it had no flavor to it whatsoever. I would rather have enjoyed school cafeteria food more than that rubbish, and that says a lot. Please don't waste your hard earned money on this place. It's not worth it. read more

Found the Brew Bird by accident, but did get a referral from the place we stayed at. Yes, very funky, but get there early or there will be NO parking available. All I can say is that the place is CLEAN, great music, good service, and "all killer and no filler" food. This is real "stick to y'alls ribs" chicken and mashed potatoes. I recommend Brew Hen for everybody that can behave like proper citizens that love down home food. Beats anything in Portlandia .... read more

I've gotten sand and sawdust in my mouth that was more moist and tastier better than their chicken. Culver's have better cheese curds. The furniture, besides being uncomfortable, was either sticky or slimy, depending on where you touched it. I don't have one nice thing to say about it. And didn't they copy the logo from Chick-fil-a ? read more

The food was great! My sandwich had a huge piece of chicken that was so delicious! I never expected to like the bread-n-butter pickles on it but dammmn- made the sandwich extra delicious. Definitely worth the effort to get there; I had to navigate the one way streets in Fargo. Thank the good Lord for GPS navigation. read more

Visiting for kiddo's football camp. Great and friendly service, fun atmosphere and the food to go along was great! They had a live band outside that was playing good music, good vibes and good eats. If we're back in ND again, definitely will be back! read more

Almost everything is GLUTEN FREE! With 2 family members with Celiac, this was an incredible find in Fargo. Plenty of options for dinner: cheese curds & onion rings, sandwiches & salads were really good. Staff was helpful and friendly. We sat inside, but the patio looked like it'd be nice for happy hour. Edit: we stopped on our way back to Minneapolis to get lunch! Delicious! read more

Tried it while on the way to the airport. Food was above average. I had the jalapeño chicken sandwich and enjoyed it, fairly messy. The waffle fries were good. My table mates enjoyed their food as well. My only mark is the parking situation which o can see could be difficult during peak times. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and will be back read more

When you enter, there are menus to your right on the table. Look at them and walk up to the cash register and place your order. They give you a statue to place on your table. Then you find a place to sit and they bring your food out I was just grabbing a beer and onion rings. The onion rings were plentiful for the price in the beer was OK. I would like to come back someday and try some other things. read more

I asked a beertender nearby if I should eat here or another recommended place? He whole heartedly suggested here. I ordered the three piece thenders.... w waffle fries, it was too much, I threw one away!! But those fries? So good!! Honestly, I didn't even look at the sauce list.... I blindly asked the cashier which were her favorites? She clinched me w the White Barbeque. It did not disappoint!!! It was also great to dip my fries in!! MMMM It was a fun, cool vibe in Brew Bird w the tin seating area "walls". Thanks Brew Bird for the delicious , filling lunch!! read more

The food was good and I'm so happy there were vegetarian options such as a cauliflower patty instead of chicken. I must say though, it was a big turn off to show up and have the menu be more expensive and combos no longer include drinks especially when I went directly to their very own website before deciding to try it out. Tasty food but update your website on prices and items! They also no longer had the bahn mi which I had my heart set on ordering. read more

A coworker and I stopped here yesterday and absolutely loved the food! The service was top notch and the building has such a unique charm. I will definitely stop here again when I'm in town again. read more

Brew Bird's chicken sandwiches and fried pickles are top notch! My gluten and dairy allergies make enjoying fried chicken nearly impossible when eating out. Not only did their chicken, fries, and many sauces meet my allergy needs, but they were also incredibly delicious! My husband isn't GF/DF and he said it was probably the best chicken sandwiches he's ever had! It tastes too good to be true! The fried pickles were also a real treat! Nice yummy dill pickle slices, great seasoning, and awesome batter. The come back sauce, honey mustard, and white ranch were my favorite sauces. We will be back! read more

This place has definitely been my favorite spot since I moved here from Seattle. Love me some Hot as a Cluck! So spicy and so flavorful. Unfortunately today getting 3 sandwiches (Chicken Cordon Blue & 2 Hot as a cluck), snack size Mac and Cheese and Large Butter and Parm noodles. Our sandwiches come out and waited a while for my 3 year olds mac and cheese and garlic parm noodles. Well about 15 mins (or longer) later they come out. They came in the same snack size and I wasn't going to complain because my 3 year old that's been patient for the past 40 mins being there and was hungry. Mac and Cheese was watery soup and Garlic Parm noodles was only a quarter of the snack cup. The garlic parm noodles were so dry, hard and old there was microwave burn on the noodles to hold together. Took a picture of the Mac and cheese as we were leaving and it was so bad the pasta didn't even wanna soak it up. (The pasta in the Mac and cheese was also extremely hard.) the milk/cream/water (whatever is was) was almost to the top. I would've felt so guilty and embarrassed to serve these items the way they were served to use. read more

Brew Bird - Even after soaking for 20 mins. It was way more souping than this. Mac and cheese?!?! - New American Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Food was good and service was decent. Place was nice just to come in and hang out. Good selection of beer in draft and cans.

Wonderful gluten free options for my daughter with celiac. My son and I also enjoyed our food. We tried the cheese curds, wings, tenders and chicken sandwich. I would recommend them all! The white BBQ sauce was our favorite sauce. read more

Fresh, hot and crispy. Not your average chicken sandwich and waffle fries. Definitely will come back. read more

It looked cool at first and had a good vibe. But it's pricey and the food was not good. Two of our chicken sandwiches tasted "off." Left not feeling well. As we left all the staff are sitting outside the establishment's kitchen just hanging out, makes me wonder is anyone watching what's being cooked or served? Just felt ewwww. read more

First time coming here. Unfortunately, I'm wondering if it was an off day for the restaurant because my experience regarding the food was not at all great. Starting with the positives- it's cute restaurant, both indoor and outdoor seating. You place your order at the front and then go sit. For the price it isn't terrible. Entrees come with two dips, fries and a beverage. Now for the food which is the disappointing part. It took quite a long time for it to arrive. They were out of all waffle fries so they substituted their regular ones. They were very greasy and soggy and undercooked. The only nice thing was the seasoning on them. The chicken itself was also very greasy and not crispy. The sauce did not have a traditional southern sauce. It was very tomato based. I also ordered a small order of their slaw. That was fantastic- seemed very fresh. However, the small I received was less than 1/4 of a cup. It could be worth another try, today just wasn't the kitchens day. read more

Parking is not great. We found some street parking pretty close. You order at the front and they bring the food to your table. Ordering process is easy and the employee was very nice and suggested some sauces. The soda was waaaay too sweet. Whoever was in charge of adjusting it needs some more training. Yuck! The flies inside were super annoying. The food was good. I had the classic and the waffle fries were delicious with the dipping sauce. The employee suggested the white bbq and baby comeback and I liked them both. I would recommend this place. We paid $88 for 5 adults and that included a 15% tip. read more

Food is pretty good, I was a bit let down from Phoenix choices and the reviews here but still a cool spot, concept and good food. The big downer for me was the bun. It wouldn't stay put and got soggy very fast. read more

Cauliflower wings/steaks were great for vegetarians! We liked the wings better and will definitely be back for more. Great variety of sauces that are fun to try! Service was good. Liked the cool vintage vibe of the place. read more

Great food and customer service! I would definitely recommend to others and come again myself!

Massive, and amazingly flavorful sandwiches. When you see it, you will wonder how this all came from one chicken. They must use a whole breast, it sticks out every side of the bun. I have gotten the Flying East a few times, which was great. Their OMG Sprouts are fried Brussel sprouts, and if you say you don't like Brussel sprouts, you have never had these! read more

Great Chicken sandwiches, and craft cocktails were superb. My wife and I had the classic sandwich while our son ordered a buffet bird. For drinks, Denise had the passion lavender mule, I chose a honey bees knees mule and Sam had a bluebird mule. All were excellent. read more

I would give this a 4.1/5 stars. I enjoyed the southern drawl sandwich, but it doesn't crack the top 10 fried chicken sandwiches I've ever had. This restaurant has a cool ambience and feel, we sat outdoor on the patio and enjoyed the cool breeze as we ate. Another cool part about this restaurant is the variety of sauces on the side. They are .75 cents per cup but the garlic parm, ranch, and brown sugar marshmallow were pretty good to dip into the fries. Overall from a value standpoint the combo was great for portion and I only finished half of my sandwich before saving the rest to take with me. read more

Love the Buff Bird! One of my all time favorite place to eat. Great atmosphere and really nice employees

We were in Fargo two weekends in a row. We got this as a recommendation the weekend before & didn't make it. We ended up picking it up & taking it to the local cidery. I got the sweet potato quinoa salad with grilled chicken. This was pretty decent except they forgot the quinoa. It was just Mixed greens, roasted sweet potatoes, feta cheese, dried cranberries, candied pecans, & honey vinigarette dressing. It was bad, but I would have liked to get all the ingredients to really know. OMG Sprouts- these are glad fried with honey & mustard glaze. Not much flavor & were soggy & super oily. The sogginess could be from to go travel, but the lack of flavor and over oiliness was not great. Cauliflower Wings- lightly breaded which was nice, but lacking any flavor. They stated ginger & coconut milk marinated ...but we were unable to locate the flavor. It comes with a Thai peanut sauce which was solid! We didn't finish these. The boyfriend got the Hot as Cluck Sandwhich! It definitely had a great kick! It was a little too saucy to where the bun got soggy and fell apart, but overall great flavor for something with that name! Cute little restaurant with a nice atmosphere though! read more

Fantastic all the way around. From the time we got there we were treated as individuals. Food was excellent

Cool spot with clever fried chicken options. The flyin' East is no longer on the menu but available to order...and worth the bother. Great portion sizes and friendly staff. Strong recommend! read more

Some like it hot and if you do, you'll probably like this place. Mostly chicken (duh!) but they had a few vegetarian offerings along with a burger so we landed here. Had the Thai salad - yummy but the dressing/sauce had a definite kick to it! My only complaint was too much of the core parts of the Napa cabbage but it was so filling that I just pushed those parts aside. Husband liked his (basic) burger but that also had the "kick" to it! Shared some waffle fries. Even though it was still hot at 6pm we chose to eat outside. Looks like they do a big takeout business including the firefighters who pulled up to get their dinner! Tuesday night but there was going to be live entertainment- wish we could have stayed but we had another hour of driving ahead of us. read more

Brew Bird - Thai salad was huge and very filling. - New American Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

So on our way back from our trip our flight had a delay and we got stuck in North Dakota and ended up at this place. The food was ok not too bad but nothing to rave about. The price was pretty standard. They could of had more choices on the menu that was one of the things I didn't care for. I would come again if I'm ever in ND but I wouldn't be looking for it haha read more

Chicken was juicy. Waffle fries were excellent. The staff were very friendly. Would recommend.
