    Mac and Cheese Corn
    Brittany M.

    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.

    Dirty Byrd 127 East Bloomingdale Avenue, Brandon, Florida 33511 @eatdirtybyrd Had the opportunity to come visit this place in the Brandon/ Valrico area. Let me tell you: A nice little spot to hang out and enjoy some good chicken that's for sure. A place you can come down and enjoy some good grub after work or on the weekend with family and friends. If you live around this area, please make sure to check them out. Dirty Byrd is a contemporary, family friendly, fast casual eatery serving up some finger-lickin' southern style fried chicken with a touch of heat. They offer sandwiches, sliders, tenders, pickled fries, salads, milkshakes and more. Thier fried chicken are made to perfection, super crispy outside and super tender inside. Come dine with them and experience thier warm hospitality and delicious food! What I tried: 1) Pig & Byrd Sandwich - a definite hit chicken sandwich 2) Chocolate Milkshake- Great tasting Milkshake to accompany your entrée

    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.

    $7.95 Classic. No sauce, no taste, bad.

    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.

    The chicken sandwich, the cheese fries, beans and corn were delicious! The staff bought us the food and were nice. Cool little area to sit

    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

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

    3-piece Tenders w/ Fries Combo, Sweet Byrd w/ Fries Combo

    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.

    Cool ambience. Food was great. Mainly burgers/sandwiches and sides. A bit pricey for a 4 pc chicken tenders with fries for my daughter. No kids menu. Service was great, very friendly and fast.

    (HOT) Southern Heat Handheld Sandwich with fries and a Highly recommended sparkling peach drink by the young lady working in the front.
    Marjorie P.

    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.

    We've been to Jerusalem Grill probably four times by now. Enough, that the staff already recognized…read moreus this last time . And let's start there. The staff are so friendly and down to earth. Kind people. I love that. The place itself is inviting and feels extremely unique. It was setup and decorated with care. You walk in and you're in a different place. You forget you're in a shopping center and that this is a storefront restaurant. The mint tea lemonade drink they serve...? DO NOT think twice about trying it. I'm not usually one for minty stuff, but this drink is absolutely phenomenal. What about the food, you ask...? Well, this is officially my place in all of Tampa Bay to eat Mediterranean food. And I've tried many that are absolutely delicious. But Jerusalem beats them all out. The meats are truly, expertly cooked, with flavors that give you that food high that leaves you feeling amazing after the meal. But then the sides are equally impressive. Everything down to their salads is fresh and packed with flavor and nuance. I have not had a bad thing on this menu. It's all been amazing. Oh... try their baklava. Not usually big on desserts, but I'll get that again for certain.

We ordered the Sampler so we could try a little bit of the basics on our first time visit. The sampler included hummus, baba ghanouj, falafel and pita - the baba ghanouj was the stand out. Pure deliciousness - just the right amount of garlic. :) We also enjoyed the lentil soup too - the owner came by our table to check in with us and was super excited for us to try it as she let us know she adds cilantro as her special touch. Can't wait to come back and try more delicious Middle Eastern fare at this locally-owned, family-run business.

    Didn't think I'd be doing a YELP! review on a food truck, but yes…read more Wife were out a plant and outdoor festival with music and vendors. We were there to see what kind of plants were for purchase, not getting a great sandwich. While walking the rows of booths we were getting hungry, I did see somewhere they were selling Philly cheese steaks, I dismissed it like really a Philly from a food truck and calling it a Philly also. But as I was walking the isles I caught a view of one of those cheese steaks and wow...I could see it was prepared with a proper Amoroso roll too. Okay, I got to check this joint out and glad we did. We ordered a large to split with fries. Perhaps one of the best in the area. Roll was fresh and steak done just right with cheese and onions. I will tell you this, if your ever at an event and see this truck, make it a point to stop and try it out. If you never had a cheese steak from Philly, this will be as close as your gonna get. Peace.

I typically order the chicken salad…read moreor a sandwich, and I also place large catering orders for my customers because they genuinely enjoy the food. Unfortunately, after my most recent experience, I won't be returning. I stopped in around 3:00 p.m. and was happy to see it wasn't busy. I went to the deli counter, waited for someone to serve me, ordered my chicken salad, grabbed a soda and chips, and headed to the open register. As I walked up, the cashier called another customer over ahead of me. I waited while he spent several minutes deciding whether to pay cash or by card because of the 4% card fee. I continued standing there with my three items, to the point that I actually set them down and debated walking out. Then, instead of helping me, the cashier motioned for an entire family to come to the registereven though I had been standing there waiting before they arrived. After that, she waved over another customer, and I had to wait while a mother and her two teenagers decided which desserts they wanted. Again, I stood there patiently. When it was finally my turn, there was no greeting, no "thank you for waiting," nothing. The first thing I was asked was, "Do you have a pickup order?" I said no. She then motioned for my chicken salad container, saying she needed it. I placed it on the scale and set my other items on the counter. The cashier then asked, "Are you okay?" I simply shook my head because, honestly, I wasn't. Instead of recognizing why I was frustrated, she continued talking, making comments, and escalating the interaction rather than simply ringing me up. At that point, I asked, "Do you want to argue? Do you want me to go back and forth with you?" I then asked who the manager was. She pointed to a woman beside her, who identified herself as the owner. I asked if she could ring me up instead. Even then, the cashier continued making comments. It was only after she continued engaging me that my voice became louder in response. Rather than addressing the repeated comments from her employee or asking what had happened, the owner immediately said, "Do not raise your voice at my employee." That response was disappointing. There was no concern for the customer experience, no apology for repeatedly being skipped in line, and no attempt to resolve the situation. There was also no acknowledgment that the interaction had been escalated by the cashier's continued remarks before I ever raised my voice. The irony is that I have spent a significant amount of money catering from Frankie's Deli over the years because my customers love the food. Good food will bring people in once. Great customer service keeps them coming back. Sadly, this experience ended that relationship for me. There are plenty of places with great food, but respect and customer service matter just as much. One final thought: this is Florida not NY. Hospitality goes a long way. The aggressive, dismissive attitude I experienced isn't what I expect when supporting a local business. I won't be back.

    I'm a big Jersey Mike's fan, which is why I'm writing this. I really hope this location can improve…read morebecause my first two visits have been disappointing. On my first visit, the atmosphere felt off compared to every other Jersey Mike's I've been to, and the iced teas were accidentally placed in the wrong containers. No big deal, just not the experience I expected. My second visit today was worse. The atmosphere again felt uncomfortable, with one employee loudly directing the rest of the staff. They were out of iced tea, and after I'd already paid for a drink, I asked if I could substitute bottled iced tea. I was told no, had to get a credit for my original drink, and then pay an extra $0.75 for the bottled tea. The final surprise was opening my sandwich to find a whole wheat bottom with a white top, even though I ordered whole wheat. Mistakes happen, but two visits in a row with the same uncomfortable atmosphere and service issues make me think this location needs some attention. I love Jersey Mike's and hope this store gets back to the standard the brand is known for.

There was someone in line, waiting when I walked in. I was welcomed when entering, last good thing. This store doesn't do a lot of business but they had two layers of tomatoes, several with black spots on them. Lettuce was sliced thinner than a hair and looked slimy. The young man came out from the back and the customer asked if he could wash his hands before slicing (slicer looked disgusting) and he said sure, took his gloves off and went to put gloves on again. Customer said please actually wash your hands. The employee then washed his hands for about 4 minutes,. I left before he was done, so did the other customer. Owner doesn't care about this location, and where is the area director? This place should be shutdown.
