Blue Plate (2 Pc) fried chicken, creamed corn, corn bread
Bridget L.

I love that it's set in an old garage and I love vibe of the restaurant, very laid back and the music isn't overly loud. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. I loved the fritters but only with the butter otherwise it was a bland. The creamed corn wasn't what I expected but it was very good. I loved the plating, but I found the chicken a bit dry and the corn bread no flavor at all. I would go back but would most likely try something else, the chicken sandwiches looked juicy.

Pimentos cheese

My friend picked this location to have lunch. I had never been but it was delicious. The decor matches the theme. The waitress was helpful with any questions. We got the pimento cheese appetizer and chicken sandwiches. A few minutes after we arrived we were lucky to have James Murray from Impractical Jokers eating at the establishment as well. He was kind to take pictures with guests at end of his meal. He was here to do a comedy show right down the street. After our lunch, I suggested seeing Mrs. Skipper one of the 5 Thomas Dambo trolls we have in RI. It was a great restaurant and visit. There is plenty of parking here too.

Garlic Parm Curly Fries

The Honeybird Nashville hot fried chicken sandwich is the perfect fried chicken sandwich in my opinion. The Nashville hot sauce is the perfect mix of spicy, just enough you feel it but not so spicy it ruins the rest of your day. The standard sandwich also only comes with pickles, which is my preferred way to have it. You can upgrade to deluxe & get cheese & tomato added. The curly fries were also pretty good but had a little too much garlic Parmesan for my taste. The maple butter corn bread was perfect, no notes. The service sitting at the bar was great. Quick & the bar tender was highly helpful & friendly. The building is an old gas station adding a cool factor.

We went in as a party of four on a Saturday night with reservations at 6:00. The service was excellent, the space is small, updated and very clean. My favorites were the Nashville Hot Chicken Bao Buns, the North Carolina Pulled Pork Pierogies, and the spicy chicken tenders that were in the Bucket of 10 pieces. My favorite sides were the Collard greens, dill pickle potato salad, buttermilk ranch slaw, and the pimento Mac + Cheese. The baked beans were good, but I could taste BBQ sauce/ketchup based in the beans that were messing with my pallette. I would skip the bucket next time and just get the tenders. The skin wasn't crispy enough for me under all of that batter, but the tenders were unbelievable.

RI Food Fight-Lord of the Wings Review 2025: First time at Honeybirds. Made a reservation online. Modern, hip hop blaring (yes!) We were seated next to a garage door. Cool for the nice weather, not for January. It was cold! Nice waitress (thanks Gianna.) 1. Wings: Honey Chalula I like the sauce a lot! But the wings were a little soggy. 2.Cornbread: Ok. Like the extra flavor brought in my honey or syrup? 3.Cheesey grits: Bland 4.Chicken sandwich: Super fresh! Cooked to crispy perfection. Great vibe.

Huge tenders were moist and delicious!  But bring your own honey mustard sauce.

Wow! Doing one thing and doing it right! Great fried chicken!! They offer several styles and dips. I had the two piece dark meat meal with two sides and cornbread. It was perfect! I selected greens, and yummy real mashed potatoes with brown gravy, both delicious!! Also the two tenders meal was huge, moist and crispy! Not your cookie-cutter chicken tenders! But bring your own honey mustard sauce. Their sauces leave something to be desired, especially the mustard, it's whole grain and vinegary, not sweet or satisfying. Their blue cheese dip was whipped and airy, the spicy sauce was thin and strange. I love dipping sauces, but these all missed the mark for me. Pleasant wait staff and a clean atmosphere, and good service. Doing the honey-bird up right.

Fried Green Tomatoes

We love coming to Honeybird, food usually hits. Love that there is ample parking in the lot right next to it, and usually we have been able to get seated. They do take reservations though so if you're worried about not getting a spot, would definitely make a reservation in advance. Food, wise, I typically get the tenders, which are huge by the way! an average person can probably eat 2 to 3 of their tenders because of how large they are! I really love the garlic Parmesan and honey cholula flavors. Pro tip, you can get the blue plate and swap it out for three tenders if you want to get a great deal on tenders and sides. not all the time, but occasionally when I've been, the chicken has been on the drier side. Side wise, the mashed potatoes, onion rings, mac & cheese are good. Didn't really love the collard greens as much. Drinks wise, I love that they have mocktail options because I don't drink much alcohol. Some of the mocktails are on the sweeter side, though, so just beware. Overall, honey bird has something for everybody, and when if I come back when craving this!

Porch Swing
Krystine R.

Cocktails, food, service - all top notch. I wanted to try one of everything on the menu. What I did have was excellent. Service was very good, and the drink menu was one of the most impressive I've seen in a while. I love the industrial vibe (the restaurant is a repurposed auto shop it appears) with large windows. Hip hop music on the speakers and decorating the bathroom. Very cool all around.

Chicken bucket with side of collard greens, sweet potato tots, fried, and mac and cheese.
Kent S.

Rating: 4.5 Decided to try the place for lunch. It's a restaurant/bar focused on fried chickens. Place is relatively small and has limited parking/seatings. Good place to hangout with friends. or The place was busy but was able to be seated relatively quickly. We ordered Nashville hot bao buns to start and shared Fried chicken bucket with side of mac and cheese, collard greens, fries and sweet potato tots. The food was excellent. Well seasoned and great flavors. I particularly liked the bao buns and drumstick/wings. We had ordered spicy and honey with truffle mayo. I liked the spicy flavor and truffle mayo combo. Sides were okay. I liked the curly fries but nothing out of the ordinary or i have had better ones elsewhere. The portion was large and we could barely finish half with 2 of us. Probably was mean't for 4 people. Service was good and relatively attentive considering how busy they were. Overall, the place was good. Solid fried chicken place that can compete with other good options in RI. They are mainly fried food so it's heavy so I would not go often but a good place to go time to time.

Sides

The other night I braved the #washingtonbridge and headed over to Honeybird for their entry in the RI Food Fights Lord of the Wings challenge. Now I had been here once before but I did not have their wings on that visit. The Honey Cholula sauce came recommended by the bartender (who provided excellent service!) so I ordered that. Honeybird does gourmet fried chicken and it is good. Their wings are battered making for a different experience. The wings were lightly sauced and that makes sense as the wings and the batter are flavorful on their own. The flavor is a nice addition without covering up their signature chicken. I was hoping for a bit more spice but they were good - I am learning I do like a honey-based sauce. Do yourself a favor and check out Honeybird (just be mindful of the horrible bridge traffic if you are coming from Providence).

Chicken Sandwich with everything
Starla F.

Honey Bird is not a quiet intimate place, its busy loud and often full. Make reservations for dinner ask for a window seat. The place can be crowded. The staff are friendly, and work together like a well oiled machine. The menu is small, but still making a decision was hard! I had fried green tomatoes and shared with my dinner companion, a very tasty "ranch" on the side. Next came out mains, he had the chicken sandwich with all the extras, I had the arugula salad and fried okra. All was so good! We were checked on often and made to feel relaxed. We both got a non alcohol drink, yummy. What a wonderful use of an old gas station.

Garlic Parmesan chicken wings
Madison K.

Do yourself a favor and order some garlic Parmesan chicken with the black truffle mayo!! You will not be sorry. Pair it with sweet potato tots or their cornbread - so good! Their pork pierogis are also very good. Service is usually quick and they tend to get busy! They have a parking lot, it's small but doable. Also the atmosphere is cool, this used to be a gas station but now they serve delicious chicken from a local chef of Beat Bobby Flay fame.

Curley fries, pulled pork baked beans, cornbread,
Eric M.

Easily one THEE best wings in RI if not the best. Only 4 sauces but that's okay because they all ROCK. The sides were bomb, staff super courteous and friendly. Loved the decor and interior, was converted from an old garage love the doors and the ambiance. Definitely will be back people must come here when in the area.

Is there anything vegetarian on the menu? It looks like there are some things that could be (like the mac and cheese or hush puppies), but I want to know if those are made with vegetarian ingredients or have bacon grease in them or something.

After attending a meeting nearby we dropped into the East End after about 8:15 pm. The place was…read morepretty full of people in both the bar area and the dining room. We ordered drinks before the meal. I had a Vermont Red Ale for the first time which was very good and worth remembering. At this time they were serving'cocktails for a cause' in support of the Alzheimer's Association, which my other half decided to have. The drink, Fuchsia Butterflies ($15), was made solarium gin, house-made lemoncello, with a Gran Classico & Violet Rinse. It was quite excellent. I had a sip to try (I am usually not one for cocktails) and enjoyed the taste. Perhaps I will try cocktails in the future. For food we shared curry moules frites, well done, just how I like them, and salt and vinegar Wings - tasty but too salty which detracted from the dish. We ended with a good chocolate mint creme brûlée. The check came to $80 to which we added a decent tip for our friendly server, Triston. We have always enjoyed the vibe and cozy environment of this place and are sure to return.

Not the kind of place I really want to sit in and enjoy a cocktail. Dungeon like. The music is loud hip hop, not something I mind, but worth noting if thats not for you. I sat at the bar, and honestly didn't feel like it was super clean. I don't think the counter had been wiped down for a while. Staff were doing their best but seemed overwhelmed on a Saturday night. I was watching them make the cocktails and did not feel like it was very sanitary. They've got one small sink they're rinsing everything in, they were chucking stuff, literally chucking and slamming metal. They were dumping out people's drinks into the same side of the sink and then rinsing in the other side. But stuff was splashing into what should be the clean side. It's not a good setup for a cocktail bar. The cocktail menu had 8 drinks on it, 2 they were out of. Nothing had whiskey in it. I got a drink called Darjeeling something. Really didn't like it, didn't taste balanced and it looked different than someone else's who ordered the same thing, not sure if the bartender forgot an ingredient. The bartender also wasn't tasting the drinks which I usually see to ensure it was made correctly. This one had curry in it as a listed ingredient and it was just way too strong a flavor. It was a rum drink with some mezcal but it just tastes like mezcal and curry powder. The place was pretty busy but people were coming and going frequently. There's only one bathroom which really isn't enough for a bar. Seems like there's potential here but I didn't like the menu offerings and the sanitary concerns leave me with no desire to come back here.

A weird experience.... We walked in and waited by the front door and the "Please wait to be seated"…read moresign for a few minutes. No one helped us, so we walked to the bar and ordered. The bartender told us the drinks were covered by the host, which is when we realized it was a private party in the entire space. We told them we weren't part of the party and paid for drinks, but apparently we never should've been let in. No one stopped us at the front door. No sign. No post on their website saying they were closed for a private event. No post on their Instagram. Feels like whatever system they were trying to implement to enforce a private party totally broke down. The employees were very nice about it at the very least. We got two drinks: the Isuzu and the grape cobbler. The grape cobbler was okay - sweet but not much else going on. The Isuzu was SO bitter and I didn't like it. The description on the menu didn't match the drink at all. I wanted to like it here, and I've heard great things. However, it was such a bad experience and we didn't like the drinks, so I'm not sure we will be back.

The special was a dirty martini and a dirty martini burger. A dirty martini consists of a humongous hamburger patty , with outrageously delicious cheese and an olive. My sister opted out of the martini and had the burger sans olive. I tried the caviar hot dog,which is lobster, scallops and shrimp rolled into the shape of a hot dog and topped with caviar. The texture was not pleasing to my palate, though I ate half of it. I also opted for a lemon drop martini, which was ok. The owner came over and we discovered his birthday was that day. As a bd treat to me, he sent over what looked like gigantic onion rings. Actually it was dehydrated onions, loaded with mozzarella cheese. The outside was crispy and the inside was gooey. This is totally happy food. Both my sister and I are so looking forward to returning.

Every bite had great balance and you can tell they really care about the ingredients. One thing that really stood out to me was the seating. The Frida booths in the corner are the most comfortable restaurant seats I've ever sat in in my life. I could have stayed there all night. The atmosphere overall is fantastic. The lighting is mellow, the music is at the perfect level where you can actually talk without shouting, and the bartender was well-stocked and clearly knows what they're doing. Another bonus is the view. Looking out across the street at the park lit up at night is gorgeous and really adds to the vibe of the place. The only downside is parking, which can be a little tricky depending on when you go. But honestly, once you're inside and the food hits the table, it's totally worth it.

I'm glad that I noticed, but because of that, I would not consider them food allergy-friendly and wouldn't risk eating there again. That being said, the waitress admitted that they were understaffed, so it's possible that we may have had a better experience on a different night.
