    Shrimp Po' Boy
    Isaiah J.

    A total gem in the heart of South Bend. Food was more than supreme and the cocktails were carefully crafted with care and precision. Highly recommend the grilled carrots, deviled eggs and shrimp po'boy. Sooo many hits that you can miss.

    For my Southern food connoisseurs, I wouldn't say this is going to hit the spot. For those less familiar, this is probably a great place. The good: You can definitely walk in without a reservation, it was pretty quiet on a Saturday evening. The servers are quick and friendly. I'd also say if there's one food item that was genuinely good, it's the hush puppies. I also enjoyed the mashed potatoes with the skin bits. The meh: The chicken sandwiches are alright, I've had juicier from fast food chains. I got the JFC, which was too large to properly consume. I felt it was trying to do too much with the pork belly in there. The bad: Jambalaya was oddly sweet. Do not order.

    Came here on a whim. Vibe is super nice - lots of plants to make me think I'm doing something outdoorsy. Service was great. Menus (like the physical ones) could maybe use some reinvestment to match the vibe. Loved the tables too. Cloth napkins also would be a welcome addition. Food - best part by far. Great fried chicken sandwiches. Mac N cheese also sneaky good. Will come back for sure.

    The service is ALWAYS amazing and the food is so good. I'd love more variety or change up but I can't complain when what they do have is so tasty

    Wow! FatBird was a refreshing experience. The service was welcoming, and the food from drinks to apps to entrees was unique and delicious. Excited to come back.

    I was in town for work, and I when I can, I like to take my students out to lunch or dinner, I gave one of my students choices of places to go, and they picked out fatbird. Service was awesome! Attentive but not overbearing, I also loved the inside! Our food was delicious! We split the deviled eggs, I had the murica chicken sandwich with a side of macaroni, both items were very tasty and savory! I also enjoyed a mezcal cocktail as well, that was smoking with a touch of sweetness All around great experience! Can't wait to go back! If you are in the area, pay them a visit!

    Jambalaya

    Wings and Jambalaya were excellent. Red Beans and rice were tasty but more of a gumbo w beans than red beans and rice. Very flavorful but soupy. Overall very good food.

    This was a really good chicken sandwich. They use the chicken thighs. The breading had a nice crunchy texture. Loved the mashed potatoes too. I was not a fan of the Mac and cheese it had a weird taste to it. Super cute restaurant and decently priced pop was only $2.00!

    Do they offer any gluten free options?

    I am not sure if they offer gluten free. I would suggest calling the restaurant.

Today though, I walked in thinking this might be it... my hunt for the best fired pizza in South Bend might finally be over. I saw the giant pizza oven and thought, "yeah, this is about to be serious." So naturally... I stayed for lunch. It was busy, but the self-serve kiosk made ordering easy. I went all in Pepperoni Pizza, Cheesy Garlic Bread, Chicken Noodle Soup, and Shrimp Diavolo. For a packed lunch rush, 15-20 minutes wasn't bad at all. Now... the pizza. I wanted to love it. I really did. But it just didn't show up. It was pretty bland overall, and most of the flavor came from the cupped pepperoni which tasted like something you'd grab off a store shelf. The sauce tried to make a comeback, but it got completely overshadowed. The rest of the food? Honestly solid. The Chicken Noodle Soup hit the spot, and the Shrimp Diavolo was actually really good. So yeah the pizza hunt continues. The oven might look impressive, but it's not ending anyone's search just yet. But the sweets? Still a slam dunk. -The interior was clean and the seating area is large.

It takes a few minutes since it is made fresh, but it is so much better that way. You walk in, get into the line, and take a long, hard look at the impressive menu board.

They brought the food out, and it was very tasty! I had their Turkey Club, which was scrumptious, just mouth wateringly good.

The sourdough bread is buttery and toasted to perfection that gives a nice crunch and texture to your sandwich. My friend had the tuna melt and she really loved it. I took a bite of it and it was pretty good. The pickled onion gives a nice flavor for the whole sandwich. My other friend had the spaghetti sandwich and it was basically a spaghetti with bread. The chocolate covered doughnut was so good! It is fresh and the texture is so soft and it melts in your mouth. Highly recommend this place!
