    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    (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.

The service is amazing. The staff was attentive and helpful. I wish the food was better. I was in the mood for a salad. The first disappointment was that they only gave 3 choices. I am on a gluten free diet and didn't have a problem with that. I did have a problem with the fact that 2 out of 3 salads had cheese in it and is not for someone who adheres to a dairy free diet. Yes, I could have asked if the cheese could be left out. But these salads had multiple kinds of cheese. I never wanted to be that person who asks to leave out half of the ingredients because of dietary restrictions. I would have had to do that. Maybe the answer is the choice to have a custom salad for people like me. The second disappointment was that the salads had a price without any protein. When you added one of the proteins, the salad became very expensive. This was a huge turnoff. The last disappointment was the ice tea. Although there were 3 choices, two of them had ingredients to which I am allergic. The third choice had caffeine. There was really no choice other than to drink water. I chose the restaurant because it was midway between us and friends. I looked at ratings and the number of stars when I travel out of town. This was not really what I expected.

There is bar seating(a bar), hightop tables, couches, and normal table seating. You can also call ahead or order to go! The atmosphere is chill with great music, sometimes even live (especially on Fridays, when there is a jazz player). The menu changes by the day and sometime hour of the day(brunch and late night menu), so follow their instagram @maincoursebrandon to keep up. I love their seafood friday's: lobster tails, shrimp, crab legs, seafood mac, seafood rice, seafood pasta, even seafood egg rolls. I've also tried their wings, which are smaller in size. They have over 20 wing flavors, both traditional flavors and one of a kind flavors like with rum or hennessy... Another thing is that they have veggie options, like salads and fried cauliflower(which you can pick a wing sauce for). The Chef, Ashley, and her team know how to attract a good crowd with great food and a cool instagram area with props for selfies, because... MILLENNIALS! I believe they are also on Uber Eats

Later the chef came by and asked how everything was which I found to be thoughtful & welcoming. That doesn't happens very often so I definitely made us feel like she truly cares. Everyone was very attentive and inviting. I ordered the crab & Shrimp entree. It came with corn on the corn ( which was cooked to perfection because it still had that "snap" when I bit into it ) and Mac & cheese (now I'm a bit of a M & C snob) which was by far the best I've tasted since we've moved back to this area. The shrimp were seasoned so well and cooked just right... not all shriveled up like some places. Now.... on to the highlight of the meal.... THE CRAB LEGS! These crab legs were cooked to perfection! You know when you can crack the shell and pull out the most perfect whole piece of meat that's juicy and sweet? Yea, that's how these crab legs were....absolutely cooked to perfection! My sister ordered seafood pasta (which I WILL be ordering next time...... next time as in tomorrow, lol) It was fanfreekintastic !!!! The sauce was just delicious and it was riddled with salmon, shrimp and lump crab.... ridiculiciously delicious. My nice had the shrimp entree which came with broccoli and she upgraded to the lobster Mac..... again, lip smackin delicious! In all fairness ... she did say the broccoli was cooked a bit too much for her taste but who really cares when the rest of the meal was a showstopper!!!!! I have a feeling I'm gonna be there so much that they're gonna start welcoming me by my first name when I walk thru the door. Heehee

The bar area is kinda dark and you can see straight into the kitchen, but the trade off is that the bartender is usually your server and your drinks are the priority. The portion sizes are quite large, and I always have leftovers when I order an entree. I usually opt to share an app with my BF (current fave: BBQ shrimp, which have literally nothing to do with BBQ but are nothing short of divine) and then i usually just order a side of fried oysters (highly recommend, SO good!!!) When we're tossing around dinner ideas, nobody in our house says no when this place is mentioned.

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.
