Jailbird is the latest cloud kitchen at the Oakland Food Hall in East Oakland. Jailbird mainly serves up chicken wings, tenders, fries, tater tots, and drinks. This cloud kitchen is part of the Absolute Brands Group. I decided to try this new kitchen, and ordered a "6-pc Wing Combo w/ Tater Tots."
OK, the Oakland Food Hall is cloud kitchen facility with 25-40 kitchens inside. That's why so many restaurants have the address "2353 East 12th St." This place has limited public parking. So that's why I paid extra and used DoorDash (DD) to get this order. Plus, DD was offering a 15% promo.
How was the food? The Jailbird Wings are big and meaty. I chose Haus BBQ Sauce. It was sweet and mildly spicy. I was pretty happy with the size of the wings. They weren't small and bony like some places.
The Tater Tots were crisp on the outside, and soft on the inside. Tots travel well as takeout. French fries have a 7-10 holding time, so quality declines after 10 mins. Something to consider when placing your order.
In general, the food is good. My 6-pc Wing Combo cost $16.99. The bag arrived sealed up, and had order inspection tags. read more
