Been hearing about this place for a while so decided to check it out! Located amongst other…read morerestaurants in a rugged parking lot! Buddy is dawned with yellow blue decor with lots of options to sit inside or outside! Service was good and fast. Burgers come out on decent time from placing order . I ordered the buddy burger instead of the little buddy for more meat! It was really good! Juicy and flavorful. Will definitely return!

My mother and aunt visited this restaurant and waited an unusually long time to be seated. While…read morewaiting, they watched another party arrive after them and get served first. When they brought this to their waiter's attention, instead of acknowledging the issue, the waiter rudely told them they were free to leave -- and her coworkers supported her response. The experience left us feeling that the quality of service may depend on who you are. I would not recommend this restaurant.

We stopped here on a road trip just to grab a couple of beers…read more It ended up being a really nice little stop. It was easy to park, easy to get seated, and everyone was genuinely kind, especially to the kids. They had a nice variety of local drafts along with plenty of canned options. It felt like the perfect place to sample local flavor all in one stop without having to hop between breweries. A solid pit stop we would definitely return to if we are passing through again.

I was able to visit Birdsnest on March 4, 2026 for the first time with colleagues attending a…read morelocal conference during lunch. We never received our order after the male waiter sat down with us to take our order. We waited 45 minutes no food nor communication. Every other table around us were serve without any concerns including the ones who came after us. A colleague decided to go to the front to check on the status and said waiter procceeded to yell at her very loudly. We immediately got up to leave and waiter continued to yell at the 3 of us as we were leaving. I've never experienced this type of behavior from any restaurant before. There's a difference in being very busy and kind verses being completely disrespectful and loud. Signed, An Embarrassed & Hurt Customer

Wow, REALLY good! Catfish Dinner Plate: excellent fish was…read moretasty and light. Rice was nice. Came with slaw, 1x Side (Collard Greens: sweet vinegar with some heat, and a bit of pork, really good!), and some AMAZING Hushpuppies (fresh, sweet corn bread). Shrimp & Grits: Fantastic! Buttery and cheesy grits with sausage and nice shrimp (not over-cooked or chewy). Green beans were slightly too soft (30-mins until closing), but good comfort food. Coleslaw was "meh," but a good, crunchy foil to the fish and rice. Counter Service (order at register, then they bring to table/to-go) was quite fast, given that they had to cook the fish and prep foods for take-out. Everything looked clean, staff was nice, and owner was talking to everyone. Didn't get to try the variety of desserts, but they looked and smelled great. Traveling, but worth the stop!

Solid experience. Staff very friendly. They had a double smashburger running so I got that. It was…read morevery good. Place was fairly empty and this quiet.

It's in a cute building with a porch and a large outdoor seating patio area. The service was so friendly. It took my family and I ages to decide what we wanted, and they were so nice about it. The menu is a mix of Hawaiian bbq style dishes, which is a lot like regular American bbq with various Hawaiian inspired sauces. I loved chicken katsu. Each of the portions is generously sized with awesome side options like macaroni salad or fries. I'd love to go back!

The food was nice and hot which is why I give it 3 stars. Blandest fresh food I've ever tasted…read more There was no seasoning at all on the shrimp and no salt on the fries.
