Lunch, the day after Match Day. The girls wanted to order food to go. Check the menu, we will pick it up, they said. Then it's off to the airport for two of the three. Me, I need some veggies to offset three days of eating out, a lot of fried foods. It's N'awlins, y'all. So, the Sue Bird Salad looked like a good option. Mixed greens, sweet potato cubes, pecans, currants and goat cheese. Added chicken for protein. Balsamic dressing on the side. Ate half. Maybe I'll have the rest for a healthy snack. So delicious! The girls got a Buddha bowl, a Bueno bowl and a salad turned into a sandwich with chips. They enjoyed. So nice to have the family together to celebrate the rewards after a lot of hard work! Good Bird. A nice place to pick up lunch to go. read more

This little cafe was absolutely delicious for breakfast! You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. I enjoyed the Molto Avocado toast and my partner enjoyed a breakfast burrito. Both were fantastic! Their sweet potatoes were also amazing! Diced, roasted, and well seasoned. Definitely give it a try if you are in the area! read more

The food is very fresh and healthy great ambiance and the service was excellent. I had ice unsweetened tea and the bird man jr. This has roasted chicken, purple slaw, with MJ sauce which is a spicy aioli sauce with pickles and Swiss. This sandwich had good bite and tasted fresh and healthy with a good spicy and sweet acidic balance. I expected more punch from the flavors, but overall for most this would be a good choice. I have had the Larry bird and had more punch probably the avocado. I will be back to try other sandwiches and bowls. The homemade chips were about 50% crispy versus soggy or stale. But when you make the effort I I give kudos for healthier option without preservatives. I recommend the Good Bird. Hopefully I get more consistent chips next time and bring experience to full 5 stars. Great place to get lunch they also have breakfast available. See menu pictures. read more

Great quality and value. My daughter introduced me to Good Bird. I eat there whenever in New Orleans

The Buddha Bowl is a BLAST of flavor and color and nutritional enrichment! I highly recommend everyone try this dish when in New Orleans. Everyone goes to visit and totally overindulge- so when it's time to head back to the airport, stop by Good Bird and get your life back together! LOL. You won't regret it .. food so good it seems wrong! read more

This place is legit delicious! Finally some good healthy rotisserie chicken that tastes absolutely delicious. Not dry and gross like most rotisserie chickens sitting out for a long time. Upon entering the cafe is laid back and quite clean. I like my cafes clean as it speaks to the general hygiene of the place. I did notice this lovely lady cleaning and removing dishes non-stop. She was very diligent and even came to take my plates away even though they have a drop zone for cutlery, plates, etc. she didn't need too, but she did. So 5 / 5 for her alone. Now the food.... You order by the counter and they bring the food to your table. I ordered the south west salad ( no bacon) and my hubby had the good bird. The food came out pretty quickly and it looked great. The salad was absolutely delicious - fresh and just tasty! I tasted the good Bird sandwich and oh boy was that delicious. The bread was so light and fresh and the ratios were just spot on. If you haven't tried it - go try it!! Parking is off street and pretty easy to find. read more

There is amazing natural lighting in the restaurant, which lends to the laid-back feel of the place. The customer service could improve a bit. It wasn't rude, but it wasn't overly warm either. Their engagement level with customers was about a four out of ten. I didn't see the Cobb salad that I ordered last time on the menu. It appeared that the menu had new salad choices. I opted for the Eagle Street salad this time. I was not impressed. The salad itself was pretty tasty, although it could have used a tad more salad dressing. What made the salad fail for me was the very bland rotisserie chicken. OMG, not only did it look undercooked, but where was the seasoning? If the chicken was cooked more to a golden brown and was seasoned, it would've been great. The chipotle avo toast was delicious. I absolutely loved it. The chipotle avo drizzle didn't add spice at all. It just gave it a more awesome taste. read more

I came here for lunch one day. The place is really tiny and filled with lots of college students. The walk-up counter is great if you just want to order your food and leave; I decided to dine in. It is off street parking. Everything here was clean including the bathrooms. The staff were fine as well. I ordered the Sue Bird, this one had goat cheese and sweet potato chunks in it. I had never had a salad with sweet potatoes in it and I was very intrigued. I took my first bite and I first thought was how fresh it was, but then I started understanding the flavors and noticed how different it was. I wasn't sure that I liked it yet. I took more bites with the mix of the dressing and the goat cheese flavors and I liked it more and more. The bowl was a huge helping, you don't just get a side salad here, this a humungous entree salad here. In fact, I should have just eaten half, because towards the end, I started thinking I didn't like the sweet potato chunks as much and began to leave some of the chunks while I enjoyed the other parts of the salad. I really like the uniqueness of the salads here and I love the portion sizes. I only wish there were more salad options here. I will be back though. read more

I had such a nice lunch today at Good Bird. I ordered the Sue Bird salad, and added chicken. The salad was delicious, and I could tell the ingredients used were of excellent quality. The sweet potatoes were perfectly cooked - tender and sweet, the goat cheese was rich and tangy, and the chicken was fork tender. The space is bright, cheery, and you can speak in normal tones. Really sweet spot. read more

I came back to try one of their shocks sandwiches because I'm a huge fan of their veggie sandwiches. I would definitely recommend getting the sandwich in wrap form since it's lighter and you can taste more of the flavor. Quite ironically I enjoyed everything on the sandwich besides the chicken. The cuts are way too thick and chunky, and dry. I ended up taking most of the meat out read more

Food was amazing with fresh ingredients . Simple menu, easy to order. Inside of the restaurant was cozy, clean but not too big. You order food at front counter and they bring your food to you. Workers were nice and friendly . It's amazing how they maneuver in their small kitchen. We Ordered the Greek salad and chicken sandwich, both were excellent. Salad was big enough for two people to split . Our daughter even enjoyed the sweet potatoes cubes. Will definitely be back read more

One of the best sandwich shops in town! Especially for the price! And they are quick too!

Good Bird is a New Orleans breakfast & sandwich shop located in New Orleans Freret Neighborhood at the intersection of Freret Street and Soniat Street Good Bird opened back in 2016 in the former location of a cheesesteak joint and has become noted for their breakfast and rotisserie chicken sandwich options. Their sandwiches are alright and they have a decent selection of sides. Overall I find the sandwiches to be in the overpriced range as I can buy an entire rotisserie chicken and bread for what just the sandwich costs. Plenty of folks love the food here but personally at the prices that are being charged here I would prefer to just get an oyster poboy. My video review of Good Bird is here: https://youtu.be/Ht6Di2Lj_5k read more

I feel like I need to try a few more things on the menu to give a comprehensive review, but from the one time I have been here I will say... The service was so quick and easy. All of the staff were nice. I enjoyed my Mediterranean salad with chicken. My sisters favorite is the Buddha Bowl. And the Good Bird sandwich was a hit with my husband. The freshly cut chips were pretty good too! read more

I've had this sandwich spot on my list for a few months now, after reading Ian McNulty's piece. Finding myself uptown at lunchtime today was the perfect opportunity to try it. Glad I did! The Larry Bird was delicious. Dare I say, almost as good as the chicken avocado sandwich at Cochon Butcher.. almost! Service was very friendly & efficient. Seasoned chips were awesome. Grabbed a table outside, which was just fine. I'd go back. read more

Restaurant is simple and clean. The service was quick and delicious. Tasted fresh. I had the Mediterranean bowl which had quite a bit of citrus but it was delicious. The beaux ginger smoothie tasted more pineapple and didn't taste any ginger at all. The menu has a great selection and I would love to return and try something else. read more

My co-workers and I went here for our lunch break. You walk-in and place your order, and then they call your name when your order is ready. I order the Larry Bird- chicken, avocado, bacon, Swiss, and sauce. The sandwich did come with homemade chips, which were good. Although the sandwich was on thicker bread it still felt very light. The sandwich did not weigh you down. Definitely will be coming on lunch breaks often! read more

Good Bird - Larry Bird - Sandwiches Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I've heard mixed reviews about this place, but I still wanted to check it out myself. They sell all of their sandwiches as wraps, which feels lighter. I ordered the Birdman Jr. It was amazing. It did have a kick to it, I'm sure it was the sauce. The chicken was seasoned perfectly. The wrap came with house made chips. They're just as good as the chicken. I can't wait to go back and try more items from the menu. read more

I like the menu at this place and would consider coming back, just needs some quality updates. Found two lovely black hair strands in my sandwich, the staff behind the counter should be wearing hair nets. The potato chips were stale and it's 12:30pm peak lunch. Wish these would be tweaked and it'd a fantastic repeat place. read more

This is a great neighborhood addition . The food is always fresh and always ready fast. We probably eat here 2-3 times a week and I've never had one complaint. read more

We decided to try this for the first time and it was terrible. The order form described the sandwich as having ciabatta for the bread but it was just some very dry toast. Admittedly, we assumed the sandwiches would be hot but they were cold. The fries were also cold. Most importantly the sandwiches just didn't taste good. They were bland and just unappetizing. We didn't even finish them. read more

Really good salad.. I had the cobb with chicken. Ingredients are fresh.. prices are pretty good. There's no seating. It's a small place that it's mostly pick up orders. They did offer to pull the table out on the sidewalk but, there's no shade so that would've not been ideal. Bottom line, if you want a really good salad to take back home, this is your place. read more

Good Bird - Cobb with Chicken - Sandwiches Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I was torn between 3 and 4 stars for this place, basically because I think their breakfast sandwiches are 5 star delicious and their other lunch/ dinner sandwiches are 1 star sad. But at the end of the day I'm going to recommend going for breakfast so I'd you take that recommendation you can expect at least 4-5 star taste so I chose 4 stars. Their breakfast menu includes a couple different breakfast sandwiches, a breakfast burrito, and a couple different toast options like avo toast. I got the bacon, eggs, and mozzarella cheese on a brioche bun with verde sauce. This green verde sauce is amazing, but I also love that they have several different cheeses and like 5 different sauces you can choose from. The menu also makes it very easy to customize your order but having a clear list of different add ons you can ask for and their price. The place is cute and the staff is incredibly nice. GO FOR BREAKFAST. My only consistent knock over the whole menu is it's fairly expensive for what you get in my opinion. Each sandwich even the breakfast ones do come with a bag of hand cut chips that are tossed in a delicious slice mix but it's a really tiny bag and the sandwiches aren't too big either. BUT I just can't get over how terrible the bread is that they serve their lunch sandwiches on. It's like bunny white bread, barely toasted, with no butter or slice or anything bc on it. At least griddle it with butter like Cane's or just serve everything on your brioche buns or something. The chicken was pretty bland too. They have some healthy bowls and salads on the lunch menu too but I don't know how those are. Overall I only recommend for breakfast. read more

If I could give this place 6 stars I would. First of all, I love how many vegetarian and vegan options they have, particularly in NOLA where they are very hard to come by. I got the falafel wrap and it was just perfect. The sauce was delicious. The falafel was crispy. The ratio of ingredients was impeccable. And the side of chips... as a Marylander, the old bay and vinegar combo touched something in my soul. The food also came quickly and the service was very friendly. It's a good thing I don't live in NOLA because I would probably go bankrupt from eating here so much. read more

The most amazing avocado toast I've ever had. The serving of avocado toast only came with one piece of toast, but there was a good bit of avocado stacked on top. They drizzle the avocado with something (maybe lemon or lemon and oil?) that really puts it over the top. The avocado toast comes with a salad. So delicious. Pricing was good- $6 for avocado toast. We also ordered one of the bowls- great too! And the breakfast sandwich was soooo good too ($9). All around great place with quick service! FYI Small little place and they don't seem to be allowing people to inside during covid. They took our order at the door. read more

Officially our new favorite lunch spot on Freret St! We have been wanting to try this place ever since it upgraded to a new storefront which now has seating for dining in. However, we assumed it was going to be a heavy meal we had to be in the mood for. We were happily mistaken! Salads, sandwiches that can be made into wraps (incredible toasted spinach wraps that is!). We had the Mediterranean Bowl, Larry Bird Wrap + chips, Avo Salad (huge portion for $4) and it was all delectable! As we were going to bed that night, my husband said "is it weird that I want to go back and get that wrap again tomorrow?" we will be BACK OFTEN! read more
