    Spicy Sandwich and 6 Tender Meal
    Aleeza A.

    I've been to CityBird multiple times now and every time it's been very consistent. I always order the spicy sandwich meal which comes with their delicious thin cut Parmesan fries that pair perfectly with the sandwich. The spice on the sandwich is really great and adds to the flavor of it as a whole. The service was fine, you go up to the counter and order so nothing too crazy and the wait for food wasn't long at all. At this location there isn't any seating besides a few stools which is kind of inconvenient so if this is the location you will be going to just be prepared to take it to go. However, if the weather is nice I'd recommend sitting and eating at Washington Park which isn't a far drive from there.

    Tasty sandwich but the salt overwhelmed the spice and flavor for me. I didn't get heat as much as I did salt. The chicken was very juicy though, so I would try again without the spicy sauce and see if that makes a difference. The fries were okay, but I had the food delivered which may have affected how fresh/ crispy they were.

    Nice lunch spot for something tastes and different. I stopped by with some co-workers to give it a try and it gets a thumbs up. On the north side of Fountain square you will find their shop, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Service was fast and food delicious. I had the Parmesan fries and tenders that made for a great lunch. Give this place a try when downtown. Fast, inexpensive, and good tasting!

    Oh how I love you city bird. I live out of town now and I dream about coming back and getting to eat city bird again. By far some delicious chicken, sauces, and I'm OBSESSED with their fries.

    My husband and I went here while downtown one afternoon, looking for something fast in case our newborn decided to have a meltdown. We both grabbed their tenders with fries and a drink - I got the house lemonade. I also got the Buffalo sauce and lemon thyme ranch. The lemonade was delicious and the chicken was surprisingly better than expected. They were seasoned well and reminded me a bit of Chik Fil A tenders in flavor. The downside is they are incredibly small tenders, so I'd order a larger number of tenders if you are hungry. The fries were disappointing. The parmesan seasoning didn't stick and they needed more salt as well. Neither my husband or I really ate the fries and they ended up in the trash. The sauces were okay, but not great. I would eat here again if it was the only option but wouldn't choose to return myself. That being said, the staff was super kind and friendly!

    Love this place for a quick lunch in the city! Only giving 4 stars because lack of seating. Other than that service was fast, staff was friendly, and food was tasty! Tenders were small but came with fries too so was reasonable for the price.

    Consistently good place to get delicious chicken strips and fries. Their sauces are all housemaid and delicious, and they make fresh watermelon infusion tea as well, which is really good. Not a whole lot of seating, but it's a good spot to do some people watching as well when you're eating.

That really made the most impact on me so kudos!! Although for me I wasn't a fan of the food you will have to choose for yourself. I had the deviled eggs and didn't like them at all. Flavor was just odd and I couldn't put my finger on what it was. Paprika? Both myself and my friend agreed and we didn't eat them. The chicken meat was hot and tasty but the batter seasoning was VERY salty and dense. The batter I guess like a cornmeal or something giving it incredible crunch but if you like the traditional fried chicken skin this won't compare. Probably for the gluten free folks... And I get it. Which is why we were there since my friend has a gluten allergy. Just letting you know. We both ordered the 3 piece meal and both only ate the wing and leg. If you look at pics others have posted you'll see some chicken that looks flaky with traditional looking batter/skin and some that looks dark and flat (referring to the skin). Ours was the dark and flat and I didn't like it at all. I didn't even know you could choose??? Fries were very salty and I could not eat them. I tried. I wanted to. The texture and crunch was perfect. They were cooked to perfection. So if you like salty fries you'll love them! For us that don't like overly salty food maybe ask them to not salt yours and allow you to do it yourself or tell them light seasoning. Coleslaw was bland. I expected more of that coleslaw "zip". And I love coleslaw so I'm not being petty but it did lack flavor. There is limited seating. Although the booths are big. Give it a shot. This is just my opinion and experience.

I do realize it is a chain but so far they have nailed all the prerequisites of what they need to be a successful chain in my opinion.

The food is the big highlight though. The food here is just plain amazing. The main course of chicken to all of the side dishes they have. The spoon bread to the sweet potatoes to the mac and cheese, it's all good. It is definitely one of the big reasons we go there. Looking forward to coming back again soon! Bring a big appetite.

I ordered immediately as I was late at 9 PM for dinner. I got the three piece dark with sides of Mac and cheese which came with biscuit, and green beans.

As oft said, "I put that sh*t on everything -- so I tried it with the Mac and cheese and it was noticeably better. All in all, pretty good experience here and will rate it 3.5/5 overall.
