The portions were satisfying, and the food arrived hot and well-prepared. The restaurant was clean, and the staff was friendly and efficient. Service was smooth, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming. While there is still some room for improvement to make the experience exceptional, the food quality and service were both solid. Overall, BIRDCODE Chicken is a good spot for fried chicken and sandwiches, and I would definitely consider coming back to try more items from the menu.

You can tell they don't cut corners. I literally saw them in the back battering the chicken by hand, which says a lot about the quality and care they put into their food. The sauces? All made in-house, and you can taste the difference. Every bite had flavor on flavor; no shortcuts here. They may have multiple locations, but this spot? Yeah... they put their foot in the food I'll definitely came back.

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!

We all ordered the "country" style chicken, i.e. no spice. It was flavorful, crispy but not greasy, fresh out of the fryer, and almost too hot to eat right away. The sliders were unsatisfying and small, while The Sandwich was enormous and messy. Sadly, utensils were nowhere to be found. To their credit, staff was friendly and efficient in spite of a constant flow of walk in traffic. Their proximity to CCSU must help. The banana pudding was okay, as were the pickle chips. All in all it was fine, with a couple hiccups.

We were dining outside with a dog and he offered to deliver our food. My sister in law and I had the Spent Bowl Greens, mine had double chicken (extra $4 to meet my macros). These salads were a lot bigger than they looked and extremely full of different flavors; the fried brussel sprouts and salad dressing (which we were thrilled was served on the side) were the highlights. My brother ordered the Pork Belly Buster burrito at Cameron's suggestion. He thought it was outstanding. Add 3 waters and the total for 3 lunches was $51.50 before tax and tip. The co-Ed bathroom did required some wiping up which was a bit disappointing, but the rest of the room was adequately clean. The outdoor seating was wonderful. I wish this restaurant was closer so I could order that salad regularly!

By experience from a different line of work, most people can't distinguish the two and call it in Hartford though some may bed to differ. I have visited this establishment on a number of times during bingo night. It's a fun engagement to the crowd while also grabbing dinner. It's most convenient that the foyer leads to both the ordering counter and dining area. It is even more convenient that QR codes are placed at each table and you can order from the app while being comfortable in your seat. It's most helpful if someone is trying to limit contact. The staff will bring your food right to you too. The food is always amazing!! Can't go wrong with any kind of chicken sandwich. My children do not care for the bread and usually opts for tenders. The Chick-fil-A sauce is also one of the things we love taking home after a visit. The overall expense is high though I think paired with an event, it makes it all worth it. There is also a "playground 4 little chkn eatrz" that my children love and tucked in a corner in the back is a comfy red couch for selfies. I can't forget to mention that the staff are friendly. They come around and refill, refillable drinks too! That is so hospitable! The whole place is really clean.

For $15.99, you get the sandwich plus fries (the sandwich alone is $11.99), making it a pretty solid deal. This place is tucked away in the Parkville Market & is a little spot.

The portion with fries was definitely generous and super filling. The chicken itself was juicy, clean tasting, and flavorful without being greasy. I got the hot level but thought it would have more of a kick, so next time I'd probably go spicier. On the downside the breading on the chicken was peeling off, and the sauce made the bun a bit soggy, could have been crispier. It really wasn't bad, but CT has too much competition when it comes to fried chicken sandwiches, and it's hard not to compare it to them, why I only gave 3 stars..

Honestly the fried chicken has never even made my stomach iffy, post drinking or not, so you could consider it nature's Gatorade. Definitely, definitely go to Chicken City!

I ordered a Build Your Own Bowl with Soul Rice, Mac, Greens, Fried Shrimp and Soul Sauce. Overall, the bowl was good and held up well on delivery. The best part was the Mac and Cheese. A good soul food style. The next best thing was the shrimp, which were well cooked without being overcooked. They did a nice job with the batter. The Greens and Soul Rice were about average. Perfectly fine. But the rice could have been seasoned in a more distinctive way and there was nothing about the Greens that made them pop. Solid 4 Star Review. I would repeat.

My baby is 11 months old and she goes "Mmmm" when she tasted the spoonful of Mac & Cheese, soul rice and collard greens.

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?
