    Dirty bird is quite new so I decided to pay them a visit. This is a concept heavy environment lots of faux rustic vibes, complete with a sweet old low rider hot rod truck, old time cigarette signage on the walls. Metal chairs and plastic cups like you're at a ballpark or an outdoor concert. The cups are small creating a refill centric environment. Speaking of music they are at some point offering live music, but not on this night.. the staff was young and dressed to maximize cuteness I suppose. I was more interested in the chicken. I ordered the half chicken, wedges app and five tenders for good measure. After about 20 minutes the half chicken and wedges came out .. no tenders ... me and wife were sharing but if we were not this would have been an issue as the tenders didn't come out for another 25 minutes. The sauces were honey mustard, jalapeño, ranch, and Alabama white lightning. The wedges came with an unknown dipping sauce and overall I would not suggest them, strange texture overall very mediocre. The chicken on the bone tasted good but lots of pinkness near the center with some bloody bones. The tenders were pretty good but nothing mind blowing. We left not feeling so hot. I think at the end of the day my conclusion is less focus on the concept and more on execution. Hopefully once it's open for a while they will remedy this. Cheers

    Overall, I was really impressed on opening day with the robust and well executed menu despite lack of alcohol license. The theming and service enhanced the experience. FOOD: Deez nuts (duck fat fried nuts) were tasty and would be great accompaniment at the bar if you were just having a beer. Deviled eggs were solidly ok. Corn muffin with sorghum butter was liked by most of the table (just not my thing). Our server highly recommended the smoked fish dip and it was fantastic! Our entrees included the short rib sandwich (which was devoured before I could try it), but the fried chicken sando was great. Lovely brioche bun with a very thick piece of chicken that was fried perfectly. They have tons of sauces, so would try one next time. Chicken pot pie takes a little longer to arrive as they are made to order - the pastry was crisp and flaky, chicken was well seasoned, but it could use a little more sauce. The sides we tried all had bacon, so our crew loved them but caution if vegetarian/halal/kosher. Mac n cheese was great, sweet potato with lots of marshmallows was a hit with kids. The corn was unique - bacon, chives and truffle butter. DRINKS: they have Pepsi products and also some intriguing homemade syrups to create a dirty soda. Interesting mocktails. Still awaiting a liquor license but the bar program looks promising. My husband didn't love his root beer bc it was more of a craft sarsaparilla. I had the lemony picklet "bawk-tail" which was strangely sweet and sour - their house Meyer lemonade + pickle and cucumber juice. ATMOSPHERE: everything is tongue in beak here. Lots of dirty jokes, vibes of a roadhouse and promises of bands and karaoke to come. There is a covered patio and garage doors that will make this a happening spot in warm weather. The restrooms are worth checking out! SERVICE: our server offered excellent recommendations and food arrived promptly. We ate around 1pm so it was likely after the lunch rush, things weren't super busy.

    Food was wonderful and so was the atmosphere. Our waiter was so nice and helpful. I got five tenders made dirty :-) with buffalo sauce and Mac and cheese. It smelled so good I started eating and forgot to get a picture first. Originally we were supposed to get it to go but we ended up eating there. Margarita was strong and delicious.

    Slid in and the place was pretty unique. I think it has tons of potential with the unique menu. Everything has a twist. Once they get liquor license thing figured out I can definitely see this being a go to hidden gem!...I like the breading on the wedges and the tenders.

    We tried Dirty Bird for lunch today and the service was very good as was the food. Due to the snow we didn't have to wait to be seated which was great but it seems as though they're using the front porch type area as the waiting space. It took us a bit to decide on what to order but our server JJ was very helpful with recommendations and answering questions for us about the menu. I had the "Dead Hooker" fish sandwich and a side of the charred corn and both were very good. The fish sandwich had great flavor but could have used something else. The fish was thick and the breading was crispy but the tartar sauce was too minimal and overall the sandwich was a tad dry. It could maybe use a slaw topper or some pickles or something. Definitely some extra tartar sauce would be in order! The corn was delicious. It was sweet and smoky with bacon in it. I would definitely order that again. One of my daughters had the fish also and she enjoyed it but the Mac and cheese wasn't her cup of tea. It was bland and a bit dry. The other daughter had the chicken tenders and she loved them. My husband had the bone in white meat chicken dirty style with mashed potatoes and he enjoyed that as well. We will definitely visit again. I will tell you that if you're not ok with some ..."crude"? Humor this might not be the place for you. They even have a PG-13 rating sign on the door to warn parents about their concept before you enter so that you can decide if you're comfortable bringing kids into the restaurant. I enjoyed this place but it might not be for everyone and that's ok.

    Fantastic food, relaxed atmosphere, great music! Our waitress was so sweet and nice. Love that's it's got an actual parking lot - I hate parking on the side of the street

    Bang bang shrimp and fried green tomatoes

    Tremendous appetizers. We had the fried green tomatoes and bang bang shrimp. Beautiful presentation and the flavors were sophisticated and delicious.

    Hours are not accurate

    Im in from out of town. I was looking for some great late-night food.As you see on the door, they should be open till 2am 7 days a week. I arrived at 12:15am and they turned me away

I was apprehensive about going alone, but it was such great exposure therapy especially since everyone was so kind & talkative! When I went up to get my serving I didn't know seasoning it was even an option, but I got it each time!! They scooped a generous amount for me & tossed it in a Vietnamese chili sauce, it was phenomenal. I've never eaten it that way before, but glad to experience it! The servings were huge & they allowed me to get 3 helpings!!! When talking with the locals I was told they do free dinners numerous nights, and would love to visit again! Such a great time!

It was SO good! I can honestly say I've been dying to go back ever since! We dined in on a Sunday with a group of 8 and had excellent service as well as enjoyed delicious food and drinks! I started with the Hugo Spritz, my husband got a classic White Russian, several high life ponies were ordered amongst the table and a few other drinks. We started with a couple of Quiche du jour's and Poutines for the table. I am not a quiche person so I did not try it but everyone loved it. The poutine on the other hand was extremely rich but oh so delicious!! So good in fact I didn't save a lot of room for brunch so me and my husband split the Brunch Burger (Caramelized onion, bacon jam, dijonnaise, sunny-side egg, gruyère, potato bun, with French fries) which was delicious. The egg was cooked perfectly so it was very messy but worth it. The table also ordered, PLAT de PETIT DÉJEUNER which is their version of a breakfast plate (Scrambled 3D Valley Farm eggs, toasted sourdough, with crispy potatoes), the French Dip (Braised beef, caramelized onion, au jus, gruyère, horseradish aioli, Haymarket baguette, with French fries) and the Crème Brûlée French toast (Haymarket brioche, vanilla pastry cream, pear jam, berry compote). I honestly wanted to try a bite of everyone's it all looked and smelled so good. Especially the French dip and French toast.

The atmosphere was pleasant and it seemed like a nice place for people who really enjoy French-style food. For me personally, the experience was just okay. I'm glad we got to celebrate my sister's birthday there, but it's probably not a place I'd feel the need to go back to.

It is a small neighborhood bar that has quite some years on it and you can tell. I was greeted by the hosts for the shuttle bus and got a complimentary beer for choosing Nachbar as my pick up location. I did get my complimentary beer and left a generous tip. They had Nords Donuts for food for this event. Beer and Donuts? Very odd combination, was hoping for The Post Pizza or something that was real food. It was free so no complaints other than it was an odd combo. Note: they don't serve food at Nachbar. The inside is kinda dated and there is good seating. Bathrooms are set up like Mag Bar and Kerns Korner. IFYKYK. The outside is more spacious than the inside. They do have a nice patio. As for the inside it looks cool and they have plenty of board games and plenty of local beer on taps that you don't see at most bars. I wouldn't come here on a regular basis but, the local beer selection is a hit with me.

I've been a few times now and it's always very chill and relaxing, and I love the music selection. When you walk in the plant shop is in the front and the bar is in the back. I recommend heading to the bar, grabbing a delicious hand crafted cocktail and relaxing for a bit. However if you're super eager to shop grab a cocktail to enjoy while you walk around the store. I've only ever had the Carajillo bc it's so damn good. It's light, refreshing and delicious. It consists of dark matter cold brew, Licor 43, Paranubes Cafe de Olla, Alma Tepec pasilla chile liqueur, hazelnut, cinnamont. They have the best mezcal by the bottle selection which I believe you can purchase some online. While sitting at the bar, I noticed all the bottles neatly displayed on the shelf behind the bar and none of the labels are ones I've ever seen before. In addition to being able to shop for plants, they also offer Plant workshops that you can sign up for online! Some of the workshops include a price for two people so pay attention to what you're signing up for. And if you happen to get hungry and need a snack, they also offer a few light bar snacks that consists of chips and salsa, spicy oaxacan peanuts, spicy pickled carrots, and Nemi Mexican lime crunchy snack.

Behind the lush greenery and unassuming storefront is Pretty Decent, a mezcal bar that's anything but "pretty decent"--it's ridiculously cool. My only regret is that I didn't get more pictures to share because this place is very cool. But I was enjoying myself too much to be bothered with my phone. The vibe? Immaculately chill. Moody lighting, thoughtful design, and a playlist that makes you want to stay all night. It's the kind of place that feels like a secret you're lucky to be in on. We started with a Paloma recommended by Ethan (bartender and apparently low-key rockstar). It was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and an excellent recommendation.. We chatted mezcal, music, and more--Ethan's the kind of bartender who makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. Got to talk mezcal with the owner, John, who's clearly passionate and seriously knowledgeable. He shared stories about sourcing, traveling, and working directly with producers. Learned more in 10 minutes from him than I have from any spirit tasting I've done. Super generous with his time and samples, which led to me walking out with a bottle of Espadín, an agave spirit, I'm now obsessed with. You don't find places like this often. It's got soul, character, and people who actually care about what they're doing. Come for the plants, stay for the mezcal. Pretty Decent? Nah--Pretty Damn Exceptional.
