I can't overstate how blessed Fargo is to have Brew Bird and all the excellent food it has to offer. The fried chicken is outrageously delicious, even besting our destination spots in Minneapolis-St. Paul and beyond. The sauce bar is a nice addition and allows for plenty of customization and experimentation. We enjoyed the Breakfast Sandwich, the Buff Bird sandwich, the crispy 3pc tenders, and the jalapeño popper corn (life-changing). They were out of waffle batter, but we will definitely be back to try the chicken & waffles as well as the sweet potato waffle fries. Keep up the brilliant work, Brew Bird team! read more

I first ate here over a year ago, and found it tasty but nothing truly extraordinary. Today I came back, and I really enjoyed my experience, which is why I went from 4 to 5 stars. I did opt for the "Hot as Cluck," despite the employee really trying to talk me out of it. It's definitely a hot sandwich, but it's delicious. I love spice, so it was okay. I drank lots of water, and the fries helped cool it down a bit. That being said, I'm not really sure it warranted all of the warnings I was given. The last time I hadn't thought the Fargo Hot was hot enough, and this sandwich was DEFINITELY hot enough, but in a good way (if you love spice!!). The woman taking my order was really worried about me not being able to finish, but honestly the portions are so big I'm not sure I would have been able to finish no matter what I ordered! If I had one suggestion on the sandwich , it would be to add a few more pickles. Just a little more acid and I think it would have been perfect. Was my mouth burning? Yes. But I can't wait to eat it again. The portions were a little big for me, so next time I go, I'll be asking for my sandwich without the bun. I ended up just eating the chicken once I saw how big it was with the bread and the fries anyways. Just a bit too much for me for lunch. The other women at the table all got the three tenders, no sides, and they were full (and raving about their meals) at the end of lunch. The two men at the table were able to eat a full sandwich and a side of fries. One woman got five tenders and took two to go. I ate about 2/3 of my fries and 2/3 of my chicken patty before I was just too full to continue. So yes, it's spicy; but if you love spice, you'll be fine. It's really not as scary as they all made it sound. read more

Great place with a cool vibe. Came for brunch on the weekend and went with the fried chicken and waffles, along with fried green tomatoes. It was all tasty. Most importantly, the chicken was the right ratio of breading:chicken. Will definitely be back here again since everything on the menu sounds amazing. The drinks sound good and the menu looks quite vegan/gluten-free friendly for those so inclined. read more

I had to comment based on a semi critical review, that made comments based on picky eaters. Who cares, picky eaters can go to fast food restaurants, this is for eaters that enjoy a little variety outside of the blandness that populates all of Fargo. Please don't dock restaurants for having quality food because people you bring with you can't appreciate any flavor. This is the best chicken sandwich in town, I'm a faithful Chick-fil-A eater, and would much rather have the homemade feel of Brew Bird. read more

Classic Chicken was awesome recommend all the sandwiches Buff Bird Sandwich, Crispy Chicken

The food was so good that I forgot my wallet and the service was so amazing that they mailed it right back to me! Eat here!

Stop here for a fun quick bite! The classic chicken sandwich was great and the cheese curds were killer!

Vegan Items marked with a V are not vegan!!!!!!! We came here because their website mentioned they have vegan food and catered to food allergies. We stopped here after my daughter's all-state band week because of what their website says. She had been eating hummus and bread all week at Concordia All-State Band Camp because that was the extent of their vegan offerings. She left hungry. When it was our turn to order at the counter my teen daughter asked what main course items they had that were vegan because there were literally none except a salad. (Vegans don't just eat salads, do better) the woman recommended the Bahn Me Veggie. It doesn't have the V by it on the menu and my daughter is severely allergic to dairy, I asked if it was actually vegan, she said, yes, it doesn't have meat" we didn't chance it. (Vegetarian is not the same as vegan employees!!! We depend on that V to ensure it's actually vegan!) She chose the Baby Bird meal because although just a kid's meal, it had the trusted V for vegan on the menu. It didn't say "chicken" nuggets, it just said 'nuggets.' With that V next to it, we should safely assume it was vegan right? Especially after telling the woman ringing her up she was vegan. Very wrong. When she got the food and bit into it- it was literally a chicken strip!!!!!!!!! We told the staff who dropped it off at our table and the employee asked what she could replace it with. My daughter asked for the Cauliflower Wings. We waited for 15 minutes and nothing ever came out for her. There were no customers in line so I went inside and the woman at the register deflected blame on others, said no one put the cauliflower wings in, no one knew about it (!!!!!) Let me also mention that the OMG Sprouts (Brussel Sprouts) that were the side she ordered with Baby Bird also say V on the menu. She ate most of those and after the chicken debacle decided to verify the ingredients in the seasoning. They told her it was honey mustard! In what world is honey vegan? Yes, some vegans do eat honey, but it is not vegan, many don't. You can't put a V on a menu item with honey in it!!! Honey is an animal product. My daughter is allergic to honey. She doesn't eat meat and she is allergic to dairy. This was all an epic fail. So bad Brew Bird! WTF!!!! She threw up several times on the drive home. Was it the honey or was there dairy in their non V nuggets? Not sure but I think it's illegal to misrepresent that you cater to food allergies and then mismark the menu. The staff was extremely rude and unapologetic. Do not eat here if you actually have food allergies- This place can't be trusted to mark their menu or educate their staff. Horrific!!!!!!!!! read more

Best chicken sandwich I've had in a long time! Bother the Buff Bird and the Southern Drawl are delicious. Try the fried Brussel sprouts! We'll definitely be back! read more

Would have loved to try the food but spent 15 minutes looking for parking (only 6 parking spaces), then gave up and left.

In the words of my husband "that was a hell of a good find." We stopped based on other Yelp reviews. Best decision. The food was delicious, the beer and cider offerings were great. What a gem. Do yourself a favor- stop here too! We will definitely be stopping again. read more

The food was really bad :( I'm gluten free and I had a sandwich gluten free with a gluten free bun. It had no flavor and the sauces weren't helpful either. read more

Decent chicken sandwich but sometimes inconsistent or heavily seasoned. Great cauliflower and other sides.

We had the Valentines Day special tonight. Awful. Chicken was burnt, biscuits so dry and hard you could hammer a nail with them. Ordered sides of corn and they were so sour they must have been made with rancid dairy. Usually a great meal there but tonight was completely awful. read more

Fun trendy chicken place near the university. Indoor and outdoor seating Had the chicken sandwich and cob salad. Both were good. It's sorta a seat your self and come order. Pick up condiments in your way. Which you'll have to go get your salad dressing there too. Or get your husband to go get it. The onion rings were good. Other atmosphere was trendy. The cooks back were enjoying their jobs. And entertained us with songs. They even had coloring pages for grown ups. We enjoyed lunch. And on and off the freeway was easy. read more

Brew Bird is a trendy chicken spot loaded with surprises. We had a classic chicken & tenders along with three of their many sauce choices. A nice selection of beer and cocktails make it a great spot to relax a little and enjoy the downtown feel. The cherry on top was the seasonal doughnuts. Currently a lemon and blueberry. What a treat. We will be returning. Great job! read more

We are visiting from out of town. (We both have never been to North Dakota) and we decided to stop here for dinner. WOW! So good! We had a classic chicken sandwich, 3 crispy tenders, slaw, and waffle fries. The sauces we had were hot honey, white BBQ, honey mustard, and some other house sauce that I am forgetting the name of.. it was all spot on and delicious. I wish we were staying one more day because we would eat here again!!!! read more

This is a great local spot down by the University. It has a hipster vibe to it. Large patio with garage door that create an indoor and outdoor environment. I had the Fargo Hot chicken sandwich. Chicken was cooked perfect and the sauce was delicious. Fries were good. Service was better. It is a yes for me. read more

The chicken sandwiches were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. We each got something different and everyone enjoyed it. The sweet potato fries with marshmallow sauce were like a crunchy bite of sweet potato casserole with just the right amount of seasoning. read more

The quality of food is great, but the noon hour is ESPECIALLY busy. Call ahead for lunch. Generally speaking, it seems like the order process takes a while. read more

Stellar food, great atmosphere, fair pricing, all around a positive dining experience and a great addition to the Downtown food scene. Parking is a nightmare though... read more

Fargo Hot was fantastic. My family tried a few of the other sandwiches and all were great And atmosphere is fun. Would definitely return. read more

I kind of feel like they should have some traditional chicken dishes like wings or basic fried. It was ok but probably won't go back.

Food and service always top notch! Hot, fresh, and fast food, for dining in house or take out. Brew Bird is a must try & repeat.

Such great food! The cauliflower is amazing and the kale bowls were a delightfully refreshing change up from the road trip food we had been eating. I would totally stop in again! read more

Food is great...never been disappointed with my many stops. Parking is atrocious...feel bad for area businesses over the lunch hour who's lots are being filled and their customers have to walk to just get there. read more

Great chicken tenders and wide assortment of dipping sauces. Looks like you can get chicken prepared just about any way you like it, including some local sandwich recipes. Would recommend! read more

10/10 I would recommend. Gluten free! If you need gf, come find this place. So many choices. I had to sample so many items. It was delicious. The Cobb salad with chicken tenders. The Buffalo cauliflower wings. The service was prompt and the decor is such a cute little place. read more

I have fallen in love with Brew Bird! From the quirky trophies to the neon sign, the atmosphere is fantastic! Hands down the best thing about Brew Bird is the food. Not only is it delicious, but almost the entire menu happens to be gluten free. That is HUGE for someone like me who has celiac disease. No worries about if I can have the fries or the breaded chicken...which is rare and AMAZING!! Only downside- parking is a challenge, but not impossible. Love Brew Bird Tender! read more

C'mon - who could reinvent a chicken sandwich into this?!! Sides are all beyond expectations Environment is worth going for drinks or just to read, chill, have a work meeting. Well done! read more

I am not an expert in fried chicken, and I never thought I would fall for a fried chicken restaurant, but this place is addictive! You get a humongous chunk of chicken, perfectly moist inside and super crispy outside, doused in delicious sauce (depends on which sandwich you choose), all dressed with balanced flavors on a nicely toasted brioche bun. What else could one want? The main problem is, they have a NEW flavor every week! And they are all delicious! And you will want to try them all. Also, they have the BEST brussel sprouts in town. And amazing cauliflower wings (crunchy, not too much flour, nice sauce on the side) for our vegetarian or non vegetarian friends! I'm sure their salads must be good too, I'm afraid to try them. I'll stick to my fave, the flying east sandwich - the made in heaven combo of sweet and spicy gochujang sauce with a crunchy asian slaw. read more

The food was ok, the best thing I had was the "OMG Sprouts", those were delicious. The rest of it was ok, but not super amazing.

This chicken is sooo good. One of the best chicken sandwiches I've had. Split the Far East and the Buff and both were great. The Mac and cheese is also sooo good and silky smooth and the pimentos add a great Smokey taste. But to top it off were the freaking amazing molten donuts. WOW!! Another great aspect was their promotion to buy meals for local healthcare workers. Can't wait to stop in again when flying threw! read more

So good!!! The sandwiches are delicious. We had the "hot as cluck" and the "classic." If you like spicey than go for the hot as cluck because it's super spicey. The classic is a very good choice. For the sides the OMG Sprouts are literally OMG. We had to go back for the spouts and sandwich read more

Stopped here to grab a bite on vacation. Easy online ordering. Food was ready when we arrived. Staff was very accommodating.

My new favorite place in North Dakota!!! Love that they have gluten-free options for everything! Went with friends who don't normally eat GF and they said they couldn't tell anything was different except that they didn't feel uncomfortably full/bloated after eating lunch there. I've even made the 1-hour drive from Grand Forks to Fargo just for this place, I love it that much. read more

I'll be blunt, food was just simply not good. Mac and cheese was decent but the chicken sandwiches were so bad my boyfriend and I felt sick after eating. Had high hopes, but was dissapointed. Ambiance was good read more

Amazing food and service! Everyone is so nice when I arrive to order. The food is delicious and gluten free, which is perfect for my allergies. I'm so grateful a place like this is in the Fargo-Moorhead area!! read more

Love this small business. They have the best jalapeno corn! Always good service and great food.
