Had a private party, they were very flexible rescheduling due to snow, food and service was great, definitely returning.

We came here for brunch in a Saturday afternoon, got seating right away and the overall atmosphere was welcoming. Metered parking in the back, so be sure to drive around to the back before attempting to find parking out front like we did. Service was attentive and our waiter was checking on us from time to time. The food was good - I ordered the fried chicken sandwich, could've been crispier but not bad. My wife got the brisket and eggs - the grits underneath could've used a bit more seasoning. read more

Nice spot in WP. We were looking for a late brunch spot in White Plains and found that freebird was open until late. Good atmosphere with a bar scene and birds above... We were seated in a nice booth and service was good. We had some coffee which was standard fare - basically diner quality but drinkable. Some ice cold water. All good We ordered the eggs Benedict, some pancakes, and the lobster roll. I had the eggs and they were cooked well with a ham and high volume of hollandaise. I usually have the hollandaise on the side, but as a cardinal error, I had forgotten to ask them for that. The sauce was overpowering a little bit too sour for my liking, and as it turns out did not agree with me. Next time I will avoid that. The lobster roll was well received with no mayonnaise, which was great. And the pancakes were also good. read more

I hit this spot up specifically for a Wing Walk. The Smoked Buffalo Wings were a standout. They aren't your average deep fried wing; they have a distinct, deep smoky depth. Even in the middle of a busy event, they stayed impressively crispy. The Asian Sticky Wings were also top tier. They had a thick, glossy glaze that hit the perfect balance of sweet and savory without being overly salty. Both wings were high quality and meaty, which isn't always the case during a crowded food crawl. I'd def stop by again under a diff circumstance to see the rooftop and maybe try their brunch. read more

Stopped by for lunch and realized it's been about a year since we last dined at The Freebird Kitchen and Bar. Glad we came back. We ordered the Louisiana Creole Shrimp and a Shrimp Po-Boy with bacon added. The Creole shrimp was amazing. Perfectly spiced, with a nice kick, and the lemon and special dunking sauce really pulled it together. The fried bread on the side was great for soaking up every bit of sauce. Honestly, it was pretty close to the shrimp I've had in New Orleans. The Shrimp Po-Boy was just as good. Crispy fried shrimp, fresh lettuce and tomato, and a flavorful Cajun remoulade on French bread. Adding bacon was the right move. It gave the sandwich a little extra richness without overpowering the shrimp. Overall, a solid lunch and definitely worth coming back for. We'll be dining here again in the near future. Four stars. read more

Man!!!! This place....is a gem! From the customer service to the ambiance, it is literally an 8.5/10. The food was tasty and servers/bartenders were helpful and kind. I ordered the chicken sandwich and that thang was a thinly sliced grilled chicken breast on a brioche bun with all of the things that make a sandwich memorable. It was fresh, had a sauce, soft bun, and butter lettuce. The fries weren't anything special. I don't like a double crunch sort of cornflake coat of a fry. But I dipped it in ketchup and ate about 20 of them. I ordered a watermelon margarita and it was soooooooo good. It was exactly how I imagined the drink would taste, not super sweet and a fake watermelon flavor. But it was stiff and refreshing! The waiter asked if I wanted to dessert. And guess what?! I tried the chocolate pecan pie. The pie itself was so good and the chocolate added the pizzaz necessary. But the crust wasn't good. I make pecan pies that have buttery crust which wakes the texture flaky and a bit crumbly. This pie had a tart like crust that was soft. Which I didn't enjoy. Again the pie guts literally melted in my mouth. If you are de bating whether this place is on your list, don't hesitate! Gooooooo read more

Had visited Freebird with some friends. We had called ahead and made a reservation. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share and some drinks as we met up with friends and caught up. The apps were all good we had some corn bread, chicken wings, and brisket fries. We ordered drinks and I enjoyed my espresso martini! The apps were really good and enough to share amongst our group. read more

We stopped by on a weekday afternoon that everyone happened to be off from work/school so it wasn't cray busy. The bartender doubled as server at this time and he was as attentive as he could be. There are busses to bring the dishes, and I appreciate that a manager was on the floor, checking in on tables and helping out where he could. The last and only time I've ever visited this place since it changed from Elements (7 years ago), was not the best experience. A lot of the food was either bland or served cold. I was not happy. Fast-forward to today and I'm very happy with the turnaround. The oysters were flavorful and I see that they decided to put the flavored butter on the oysters instead of serving it on the side - huge improvement. Everyone enjoyed their food as well. All of it was really good and well done. Hubby had their steak sando and it was very flavorful, although difficult to get a bite without dragging more meat than you have mouth, off of the sandwich. My kiddo had the kid's menu cheeseburger, and it's a big portion. I asked for medium and it was done a little over, which I hope is a one-off, because not all kids are given well done burgers. I would never do my daughter dirty like that. Freebird staff, please believe the parents when they ask for medium - that's what their kids actually eat. I had the shrimp po'boy and I was quite happy with the dish. It was very good. I paired mine with a salad but I was intrigued to hear that mashed could have been an option. I tried both their aperol spritz and French Kiss cocktails, and both were nice...weak, but nice. We also shared the double chocolate brownie that was served warm with ice cream. We had to wait some during the meal but not much. We visited during an off-peak time, so it makes sense to gave less staff. We stayed until happy hour started, when additional staff began to arrive. Mostly, I'm happy that the food has improved greatly. If it was just hubby and I, we would have sat at the bar, so that is what I suggest whenever it's off-peak. It's just easier to get what you need with the bartender right there. read more

My friends and I ordered delivery. We really enjoyed our juicy Nashville hot fried chicken and fried cauliflower. I honestly would eat the cauliflower dish everyday. I thought the ribs were also good, just not as standout. I'd definitely order from this spot again. I was very impressed, even with the delivery drive. read more

I came here the other day for lunch with my mom and sister. It wasn't my first time here but it's definitely been a while and as soon as we got here I remembered why.The staff is just not welcoming. From the hostess, to the bartender, to our waiter; not one person seemed happy to be there or to see us. However, I digress because I've been learning to let things go. The saving grace was that the food was actually fantastic. I don't have a single complaint about the food. We shared the Mac and cheese and biscuit with gravy. My mom had the chicken and waffles and I had the eggs Benedict with crab cakes. Will I be back? Maybe, but it definitely wouldn't be for the vibes. read more

My childhood friend RVZ (Ronnie Van Zant) of LynSkyn used to talk to me about free birds flying high. He flew high, but he was never Yelp Elite, so who flew higher? (I know, I lost my elite status, bring that up to the hierarchy) So, when I wound up in White Plains for Sunday Brunch I thought about my bud, about flying high, and about love. Love in the air, at this couple brunch. If you'd like to double or triple date, (I stop at quadruple for my own reasons), just send me a DM we'll figure it out. Only catch is I must remain anonymous. So, I'll be in disguise and me and my dame will sit at a separate table from you. You won't even know I was there, but I will be... don't worry about it. It's par for the course. And I'm all about those birdies. Free birdies. Freeeeeebird Flyyyyyyy. Is that even how the song goes? Whatever. White Plains restaurant game should be stronger, but I was very happy with my time at Freebird. You'd have thought I got the chicken but I'm all about the egg, that's just what I'm about when I'm kickin' with the keg. WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN. Yea so brunch undertone, stick with more breakfast than luncheon. Saw a little Crab Cake Benedict and I pounced. Men, and women, of culture should be Bendicting on the freq. Hollandaise out for Sundays am I right? It really is just a classic and if you can both Benedict well and crab cake well and breakfast potato well then I'm going to assume the rest of your food is good. Great sauce, egg was perfect, crab cake was nice, English muffin was really really delightful. On top of it, I got a little crazy and got myself a mule. Small 800 pounder but it'll do the trick getting me around the farm. At Freebird, I also got some coconut type mule (drink form this time) and I'm typically abstinent from the devils juice. It was lovely, I'd have gotten a second if I were feeling like a weapon. But it was the holy day and I felt like I should get back to the farm to tend my new mule, Pacchero. read more

Way better experience this time than I had last year. I came for brunch and it was very quiet. Super cute on the rooftop and I got greeted as soon as I walked in versus not at all which was my biggest complaint on my visit last year. Prices were great and good portions. Drinks were still in plastic cups but the watermelon margarita was soo good it didn't matter what type of cup it was in. Great time! read more

On 10/2/25, I ordered the Cubano sandwich and the Mac & Cheese via Ubereats. The pictures the restaurant posted on Instagram of the Mac & Cheese looked delicious and cheesy. What I received looked like Kraft Mac & cheese. Nothing like the pictures and tasted BLAH. The Cubano tasted primarily like mustard and a tiny portion of pork. Dinner ruined. read more

I'd like to expand on my earlier review that focused on the staff accommodations for a special setup for mobility access & handicapped issues and this focus here on the staff and food. The food here is incredible. My Mom was a southern girl and she & Grandma used to cook up farm classics. We had everything family style for our event. All items were on the main menu. All sorts of appetizers passed. The fried chicken was amazing, the platters of pork bq sliders, salmon, and sliced steak were all top notch. The accompanying salads:Caesar & Garden were dressed beautifully and tasted terrific. Staff: Love You! We were a BIG party for my son's 30th. The youngers took the top terrace & some of the oldies like me were on main floor. We had staff assigned to us and the Unbelievably attentive Hostess making sure we wanted for nothing while also handling a full house house of diners. Thank You Freebird! Go for dinner and arrange your events there. What a wonderful experience. Going back soon. read more

01/03/2026 Very disappointing experience. We felt discriminated against for being Spanish and were seated in the back of the restaurant while others were treated better. The manager came to rush us to order because they were changing menu. we were waiting for 2 more people. He was rude and told us they can't wait. We were ready to leave but it was late and we were hungry. Food really bad, customer service 0. ambiance 0, because they placed us in the back of the restaurant I will never come back to this place. read more

I came here for brunch with the husband and the ambiance was very cute. We opted out of the amazing $22 BOTTOMLESS m. However, you can get mimosa, bellini, champagne, house wine, select drafts on a 2 hour time limit with minimum purchase of salad , toast or entree. Instead we went with a cocktail. I tried the smoke on the water and the lavender bees knees both had a lot Of flavors. The smoke on the water keep in mind has peach puree and is going to be on the heavier side. The lavender was more spritz & light both very good. For entrees we came here for The chicken and waffles. The chicken was a hit and well seasoned. The Atmosphere is beautiful and the service is great! Highly recommended read more

While visiting friends we stopped at Freebird for dinner. I absolutely loved this restaurant from the moment we walked in. It is clean and the staff are beyond welcoming and helpful. We started off with a round of drinks: sangria, winter cosmo, spicy margarita, and the blackberry smash. I was very impressed with the flavor combination of blackberry and bourbon. We ordered the pulled pork fries and croquettes for appetizers. I wasn't that much of a fan of the croquettes but the pulled pork was tender and flavorful. The sweet potato fries were handcut and delicious and the melted cheese on top had a great flavor and consistency. I ordered the big bird chicken sandwich fried and Nashville style it was delicious and a huge portion which I ended bringing most of it home. The chicken was huge, juicy, and tender. It had a great Nashville spice kick to it. The pulled pork sandwich on the pretzel bun was amazing too. Great meat and the pretzel bun was a nice change up. The black bean burger is definitely a healthier option but it did not skimp on flavor or taste. The burger was a huge size and cooked to the perfect medium well. The parking is a bit crazy as it is street parking , the private lot behind the restaurant, or just paying the small amount for the parking garage which personally I found to be the easiest option. read more

The food is excellent, The service is excellent. The Sunday night open mic is a joke. It is supposed to start at 8 PM, but the house band straggles in whenever they feel like it, usually 8:30 +, and then plays mediocre music for another 45 minutes. The band leader, Manny, has no idea what he is doing, and after a few open mic-ers play, he brings his people up to play for the rest of the night. Stay away. Much better to go the Wed open mike at Ron Blacks a few doors down, read more

I came for a quick dinner on a Sunday. I love the rooftop. It's only on the second floor so not a very high view, but still a treat for White Plains. They serve their drinks in plastic cups which feels quite low budget. The portion sizes are also very small. I had a mojito and it was very tangy and citrusy. To eat, I had the mac and cheese and enjoyed it. It was served in a piping hot skillet. They've improved the recipe so it was creamy, but still could've used sharper cheese. My partner had a burger and enjoyed it with sweet potato fries. Our waiter was very sweet and attentive. read more

We ordered the Mac & cheese as a appetizer. Which was cheesy and had a nice crispy top. This is a heavy appetizer meaning you could get full from this before your entree comes out which was like 10-15mins later. You can share this with 2 ppl the size was big. The passion fruit lemonade was very tart so if that's not your thing I would not recommend the lemonades. The first dish was the brisket 2 fried eggs and grits but I substitute for fries. Brisket was juicy and flavorful. Fries were just regular nothing crazy. The shrimp, sausage and grits were cheesy delicious as you can see the plate was huge had to take it to go. The shrimps were hugeeee and they gave me so many slices of sausage. The service was excellent waiter kept checking on us. The ambiance was great the music playlist was even better you can bring your whole family here. Bathroom is clean. I would recommend this place !!!! read more

So my family & i went out for brunch yesterday, my first time! Ohhhhh boy did we enjoy ourselves?! YES WE DID!! lol Our waiter was the best, Josh! he was so nice, very helpful with our questions. We all had the bellinis from the brunch menu of course, they were very good. not too sweet, i'm not even a bellini girlie but i enjoyed them! We shared some apps, the fried pickles were DIVINEEEEE omg! Plus we got the brussels sprouts, those were so good & crispy, my gosh. I wanna go back just for those.Then for my meal, I got the savory biscuit with white gravy, cheese grits & a side of bacon. So good! I do wish the biscuit had more gravy but I could've asked for more i'm sure, but it was still VERY good! loved the cheese grits & the bacon was perfectly crispy. Suzie was the nicest lady ever, she was so sweet & always checked on our table, so nice of her. We really did enjoy ourselves, from the food, drinks & the people there. 10/10!!

I went to Lilly's for drinks because I didn't see much I wanted and left for this place .. soooo glad I did !!! The food is a 10/10. I had calamari it was crunchy and tasty! Then I had a burger with fries. Seasoned well cooked how I wanted it. And you can't go wrong with a place that has good fries. My husband had the chicken and waffles. I'm not gonna lie I was very taking back. Usually when we order that from places it's bland. I had to ask the bartender where the chef was from and guess what he's from Louisiana!!! It explains alottt. This place is poppin. Then when you have a sweet heart for an owner this place is going to stay for a long time. She was very nice and caring. I wanted to talk all night to her. She was also relatable which is always good. Oh I forgot to mention my peach sangria!!!! Delicious. Just go there PLEASEEE read more

I was at the bar with a group of friends and I ordered one drink. When it was time for me to leave I got the attention of the bartender and I told him I wanted to pay for my drink. The bartender replied back to me "you're only paying for ONE drink?" (I only drank one drink) and he also said "I'm not opening individual tabs for each of you" in a very rude way and then turned his back and walked away. I was thoroughly confused because I was just trying to pay for my drink and leave. I later found out one of the people in my group had put his card down to pay for everything, but I didn't know that. The bartender could have just told me that; it was very obvious we were all in the same group. The bartender needs to be trained on how to communicate properly to customers just trying to pay for their drink and leave. read more
