Stumbled on this little chicken spot and it did not disappoint. Ordered the chicken tenders and the southern heat sandwich. The dry rub is delicious- I ordered it medium heat and it was perfect. The dirty byrd dipping sauce is 10/10. Inside the restaurant was clean, staff is friendly and just enough tables to seat a large group. read more

This is THEE BEST chicken sandwich I have had in a while. It was juicy. I got it mild and it was spot on. The breading was crispy and it was HUGE!!!! The presentation was pretty like a picture It's is a little pricy for a chicken sandwich. I ordered the bacon cheese fries and was given regular fries. That was my only gripe. The young lady at the register was nice but the award goes to the kitchen staff. The interior is kitschy. A good use of a small space and Instagram worthy read more

After looking for spots for dinner and wanting to try a new restaurant we decided on Dirty Byrd which is right now to Vampire Penguin. Now the inside is really cute I like the chicken and signage on the walls. The menu is easy to read so we ordered pretty smoothly. Their soda machines are down so it was only can sodas. Now the food looked promising but unfortunately the only thing we enjoyed was the actual chicken tenders, the other menu items we got were not very good especially the corn. I'm not sure why it's pasty but the texture is no good. The onion rings were okay came out greasy and the Mac and cheese was dry which was very unfortunate. Also the bacon cheese fries I didn't mind but they were greasy as well. The Korean gochujang sauce was pretty good sweet and lightly spiced it was nice. Overall I wasn't the biggest fan but would try their tenders again. read more

Good food. Good variety, and most of all the staff was knowledgeable and it showed. I was cold so I did not try the outdoor seating. There was seating, but I mostly see the vibe as good take out. Little to no concern that the order will not be right. read more

New chicken place in Valrico. Big chicken sandwiches! Super crispy and some nice options to choose from. Inside has room for 4-6 groups to sit. A little tight but nice. Drink station in back along with fridge that has the desserts. We got southern heat, sweet heat, classic and chicken and waffles. All sandwiches were big and we got fries on side. Fries are shoestring and had good crunch and seasoning. I had sweet heat and coleslaw was good and hot honey was nice. I liked this sandwich. Wife had the chicken and waffles and it was good. The whipped butter and maple syrup were good and made a great sandwich. Kids had classic and southern heat and really enjoyed. Good portion sizes and we all left full. read more

The only worthwhile items here are the sauces. Yet, they don't even bother to put the sauces on the chicken sandwiches. Instead you get served a flavorless, completely plain chciken in-between a Wal-Mart bun. Love Bird Almost Famous hot chicken remains the best hot chicken sandwich shop in all of Florida. With Dave's Hot Chicken opening a 2nd location in Tampa this restaurant is going to struggle. read more

We came by after a wedding venue tour. We ordered chicken sandwiches and chicken strips and all drinks come in cans with meal. We asked about the bbq sauce and the opened a container stuck a spoon in it, closed it and let them try it, leaving the container for the next person. This was a little weird for me. The chicken comes in boxes that can open into a plate like area. We found the chicken very dry and a bit too cooked. The gentleman working the counter could have help by being a bit more friendly. When in the area we will look at other options read more

This place is relatively new, and I've never seen a business survive in this location. With that being said I've eaten here three times had three different types of sandwiches and had a great experience every time. Chicken is delicious I do grilled not fried, give this place a shot they're very good. Get the infused honey you won't be disappointed. read more

So it was good for a late night crave of chicken tenders, but I wouldn't put it above crossroads chicken in Brandon, or Dave's hot chicken. The seasoning was a little bland on the mild, there wasn't much a kick but also much flavor. The "plain" has a hint of spice too so doesn't seem plain to me. Fries tasted purely like grease to me. The price is what was bad for me. Two meals with no drink were over $30. It was fast casual feel and to me the price seemed high for that. Service was okay, we did take out so I'm not sure what I'd rate service. I'd maybe get it again, but not guaranteed. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but the food just didn't deliver. The chicken sandwich was very dry -- when you press into it, there's no juice at all. It honestly felt like the chicken had been sitting out for a while, same with the burger. From the first bite, there was no moisture or heat; it wasn't even warm, and we waited over 15 minutes expecting something fresh and piping hot. The fries got cold within two minutes, which made the whole meal even more disappointing. Not sure if it was an off day or just bad energy in the kitchen, but spending $34 on cold, dry food was definitely not what I had planned for today. read more

Honestly this was the best chicken I've ever had. The chicken sandwich is perfection!! Friendly staff. We will definitely be back. read more

TL;DR- Food is served hot & fresh, but the flavor needs more to my personal taste. Going to visit later to see how much they've improved, but there is still great attention & care being put into it, so give it a visit. Walked in around 7pm, Saturday night to it being empty. Quickly made my order, two combo meals and a dessert, and didn't wait longer than 10-15 minutes. Dessert, not pictured here, was one of their pineapple upside-down cake cups- one of which you can grab right from their soda fridge alongside the drinks in the dining room. Decided to have it as a snack while waiting for my order. First thing I notice grabbing it is that it doesn't feel cold enough for something that should be refrigerated, especially one with fruit or dairy. Nonetheless, I try it- the whipped cream layered between cake and pineapple chunks just proves my point. Not much more to say about the dessert other than it is not my personal recommendation. Taking my order home and seeing the finished product- everything looked stellar! Opening those little boxes and seeing those generously-sizes tenders and substantial sandwich, I was getting excited! Had the sandwich first without the sauce, just their medium-heat spice blend, and while it tasted seasoned...the heat was lacking. I poured on the hot honey over the chicken to start and between bites- the mild sweetness was a good start but, once again, the heat was lacking! The quality of ingredients in every component that made up the box was great- great bun, great pickles, fresh and crispy shoestring fries- but the flavor needed more! This trend repeated for the tenders meal- it. Needed. MORE! I know I ordered medium, but I feel there needs to be a LOT more bite! Maybe the move's to order just hot next time. As much as I want to give the food a better score because it's served quick, fresh and presented beautifully, the taste doesn't quite get there for me. Regardless, I wish them all the love and support, because there is clearly care and time being put into the food itself. read more

Great experience We hosted a small ladies' gathering here and the staff was very accommodating, especially with our gluten-free needs. They were kind, helpful, and made sure everything was safe without any issues. The food was really good, and everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. Staff was friendly and attentive throughout. If you have questions before your visit, I recommend emailing--they respond quickly and are very helpful. Would definitely come back. read more

Friendly staff. This was the best chicken sandwich I've ever tasted. The pickle fries and dipping sauce also excellent

Great place. Sitting area if you want to dine in. We mistakeny ordered one wrong meal through no fault of their own. They gave us what we originally wanted for no charge. The staff was extremely nice and very gracious. Food was great. I had The Classic chicken sandwich and onion rings. Good place!! read more

The food was delicious, as it was my first time here and especially being so picky... I asked a lot of questions and the young man working the register was extremely professional, patient and informative. The ambiance is small but very cozy and welcoming, I love the plants and the gum ball machine. I had the HOT Southern Handheld Sandwich with fries and chicken tenders with fries for the little one to go as well. Thank you Parker for excellent customer service my family and I will definitely be back. read more

Service was friendly but the chicken tender is a little dry. We think it was due to the batter. It is a thin batter which is unforgiving. The fries were plentiful. read more

The fried chicken Classic was excellent. Three levels of dry rub spice - I got "medium" - very tasty! Dill Pickle fries we're also very good; I enjoyed the "fries" format - not spears or chips. Cute little place, very clean, lots of attention to detail, including little doodles on their sauce lids. Polite staff, quick service. Keep up the great work!!! Edit: visited again today, eight days after first visit - just as great! So good I forgot to get a photo! read more

I got an announcement to make to all the Chick- Fil-A goers and pregnant ladies! OMG, this chicken is finger licking good! I initially thought it would be another fried chicken place, but I'm very wrong, this chicken is super good, I'm ADDICTED!!! It's cooked just right, not too crispy, but crispy enough! And the sauces, WOW!!!! I had the Korean Go Chu Jang and the Infused Hot Honey sauce, on it was DELICIOUS! Again, if you're a Chick-Fil-A lover, prepare yourself that it's getting replaced with Dirty Byrd with an attitude because it's finger licking good! And if you're pregnant, prepare to send your boyfriend or husband here all the time like it's their second home, the little one in your belly will be craving for it so much that it'll be doing the chicken dance with an attitude! read more

We had the sweet Byrd and the sliders. As well as the onion rings, fries, and pickle fries. All was very good. Chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The sauces were very good and flavorful. The service was friendly and top notch and we can't wait to go there again soon. read more

Small restaurant inside. It appeared most people were getting their food to go. We chose to eat inside. We ordered at the counter and sat down to wait for our food. The chicken tenders were served in an open up cardboard box. While I'm sure that's convenient for to go, it was hard to eat out of in the restaurant. Our chicken tenders were tasty, but the breading was falling off before we could make it to our mouth. The mini dessert we tried was ok, but not fantastic. Value was good. We will try this restaurant again as it hadn't been open long and maybe they were still working out the kinks. read more

The chicken was juicy and the onion rings were the type that when you bit it, the onion didn't all come out at once- not over fried and overall decent place to eat read more

The food is amazing! Just what you'd expect. The chicken sandwiches are spot on. Hot honey crunchy chicken sandwich hits the spot.

This is a great spot to try. The food is so good and very large portions. I had a grilled spicy chicken sandwich. I loved it. My kids had the chicken tenders and also enjoyed them. Definitely try this place. read more

My family of 3 stopped there because they offered a caesar salad. All of us were very happy with our meals. The sandwiches and the salad were all large. All of the staff was extremely pleasant. Overall we were very satisfied. read more

Hi, I was in the shopping plaza to get some bloodwork done at Quest and stopped in for lunch. The good - chicken sandwich was tasty, I got the classic with medium heat and chipotle mayo. The fries were good, but no salt on them. They have one salt grinder by the soda fountain for all patrons. The bad - service that tried hard but was untrained and a hot mess. No one was cleaning tables, they all had food on them and I had to ask to have it cleaned. The young lady delivering came back with a dirty towel to wipe it down. She brought out my order, asked if I was Dave (which I am). When I opened the box, it was only a sandwich, no fries. I Alex back to the counter to ask for my fries - the order taker said, "We gave you the wrong order, can you bring it back? ". I said that I already handled it, I don't think you want to give it to someone else. "oh, nevermind,". They did check on me 2 or three times to see if everything was alright. It was the right sandwich, nice big chunk of chicken, cooked well and tasty. They just need some better management/organization. read more

Ordered their standard breaded crispy chicken sandwich with medium heat. Oversized hamburger bun had good flavor and spiciness of chicken equal to Dave's Hot Chicken in Tampa. Breast of chicken was too thin to taste chicken and became a breading sandwich. Disappointing. read more

Very good quality chicken tenders and perfect fries. They have other things on the menu that i want to try like chocken and waffles.

I was a little hesitant to go to a place with the name "Dirty" in it but food was okay. Chicken had flavor but was a bit overcooked. I'll go back and maybe change the rating if it's better. read more

Attempted to order online but received two error messages, so I called in an order. First, the online system doesn't say that a drink and fries are included in the price of a sandwich, nor does it give you the option of choosing a drink. Miraculously we received everything accurately except one of the sweet Byrd cups was wrong (blueberry rather than cookies & cream). The sandwiches were delicious! We had a classic, southern heat and a sweet Byrd. Loved that the sauce came on the side. Fries were hot and crispy. Onion rings were a bit soggy but that could be because of the packaging, not allowing the steam to escape. Really good chicken! As soon as they work out the kinks, we'll be back on repeat! read more

Great service, great food, and at a great price! I got the chicken tenders and they were super high quality and delicious!
