If fried chicken is one of your favorite comfort foods, then a visit to Lovebird on East Ashland Avenue, Doylestown, PA, is very worthwhile. At least, I know that was why I was there. Brought to us by the folks who created the successful Jules Thin Crust Pizza, Lovebird is the brainchild of that same crew with equal parts great recipe, locally sourced, cage free, vegetarian raised Amish poultry, and simple gray toned shop with one collective table and five sunny bright window stools. As a newbie, I ordered the aptly named "Lovebird Sandwich," which came with a perfectly deep fried battered breast, cole slaw, pickles, lettuce and special sauce mayo, on a freshly baked local bakery brioche roll. It was one of those meals where the enjoyment began with the first bite through the thick layers of crisp crusty bird, through the tender sweet roll. It was as textural as it was flavorful. It was delicious and fun to eat. And, if you prefer roasted chicken over fried, go for it! They have that, too, and although I didn't taste it, it looked awesome. Tasted a few fries, and they were quite good, but I'm trying to be good to myself by some modification of diet, so I passed on getting my own. The Lovebird was so great on its own that I really didn't miss them. Also, begged off the Boylan Soda, one of my past faves. Now for the News Extra! Lovebird is coming to Newtown soon, across Sycamore Street from its sibling, Jules. That is something to get excited about! Not just another knock off franchise, but a true original. read more

My gf brought me to Lovebirds for lunch. She had the Buffalo Bleu Bird sandwich, side of roasted Brussels and Mac n cheese. She enjoyed the sandwich and Brussels. The Mac n cheese was just alright. She didn't finish it and chucked the rest. I enjoyed the Brussels to the Beet Bowl with fried Chicken. The bowl was a large portion so I ate half. I didn't love the scallion vinaigrette that came with it. So I used Lovebirds signature honey mustard and special sauce which transformed this bowl. Next time I will try the Lonesome chicken as I noticed most of the diners had ordered this off the menu. read more

Stopped in for the first time today after hearing rave reviews from Annelisse at Jules Thin Crust. WOW. We ordered the Bone in Fried chicken, fried pickles, and Mac and cheese. AMAZING. I'm celiac and can't remember the last time I was able to have fried chicken. I grew up in the south and am super picky about my fried chicken - this place exceeded my expectations and is now our new favorite spot! My bf tasted it and immediately said "uh oh you're in trouble - this is WAY too good to be gluten free!". Everything was so fresh and tasty. We love you, lovebird! read more

Great food. Excellent service. Highly recommended. We will come again next time we are in the area.

We were up in the Doylestown area and wanted to check out Lovebird from the people who created Jules Pizza. Lunch was in the cards and figured let's stop in for a quick little chicken snack and see what the clucking is all about. We split the sandwich and the 2 piece. The sandwich was just okay nothing that special, not bad either. I certainly don't think it was worth the cost $9. Our 2 piece definitely had a better flavor and I like the breading that they Incorporated on the chicken. It was seasoned nicely. Very tasty but it's certainly out of our way to come back here. I was glad we stopped in, I also would like to compliment how quick the food came out. Also I really like that they have homemade sauces at your disposal right by the utensils which is a nice touch and I did enjoy all the sauces that I tried. read more

Unimpressed, just got the fried chicken dinner to take home for the family. It's fine, no complaints, but no better than Acme fried chicken. read more

This second visit brings it up to 4 stars. The Brussel to the beet salad is amazing. The scallion vinaigrette packs such tangy, unique flavor to the salad. I added some Cole slaw to the salad for another flavor component. Spring mix, quinoa, grilled chicken, brussel sprouts and shredded beets. This now my go to salad in Doylestown. Carolyn, Manager comped is a couple of entrees after forgetting one on our last takeout order. Well done. read more

They got that crunch right ! "The Lovebird" chicken sandwich & "Brussels to the Beat" bowl were ON POINT. Fresh ingredients, executed properly. 4/5 atmosphere. Felt kinda weird walking in for the first time and seeing no food (there's no visible kitchen or even a food window), it's in the back. There's only 6 bar stools at the window and one big family style table. Would be nice to see a couple 2 tops, there's def space. Food is seriously bangin!!! I'm just tryna give constructive reviews! I love lovebird read more

This is the fried chicken spot. Period. We have nothing like this in the area, and it is a welcome change from the other fast casual places around. This is not your franchised chicken, this is real farm fresh chicken fried to order, along with real French fries and homemade sides. It's so simple, and so perfect. My favorite tonight was dipping my chicken and my fries in the spicy honey. Genius! Spicy honey for fried chicken! We will be back. (Also gluten free everything! I never get to eat anything fried; this was a taste of real food!) read more

Such a wonderful and delicious respite that serves the best organic chicken sandwiches. The brussel sprout salad is very good too, but their nuggets take the cake. I have to say the staff is some the best mannered i've ever encountered. They are helpful over the phone and in person, even with the social distancing we have in our lives. read more

It's a little weird to find a chicken-only place, but this place was epic! Everything was fresh and crisp. The sauces are all housemade. Just watch out, their signature sauce contains anchovies, so those with fish allergies should steer clear. read more

Lovebird, the much anticipated new fast casual chicken restaurant from the people that brought you Jules Pizza finally opened today in Doylestown. I parked my car a few blocks away and as I rounded the corner I could already smell the chicken cooking. The anticipation continued to build... Lovebird sources its chicken from Gerber's Poultry, and Amish chicken farm in Ohio that raises chickens humanely, eschews the use of antibiotics and feeds the chickens a vegetarian diet. The grain used to feed the chickens is certified GMO and pesticide free. The result is some of the best chicken you will ever taste, "just like Grandma's chicken," if you were fortunate enough to have grandparents who grew up on a farm. The menu at Lovebird is small but has choices for everyone. They serve fried chicken in as small a portion as two pieces up to the whole bird. The fried chicken has a wonderful crunchy breading but is perfectly fried as not to be greasy. I ordered a two piece leg and thigh combination and it was perfectly cooked. They also serve salads and sandwichs. I ordered the Seoul Bird, the current special sandwich which I had made with a miso garlic marinated grilled chicken breast, and it was served on a Le Bus roll with cucumbers, kimchee, cilantro and a spicy mayo. It was one of the best chicken sandwiches that I have had in a long time. They also offer salads, vegetarian proteins as well as some small side dishes and Boylans sodas. Even the packaging deserves mention. The plastic bag is made of completely recycled plastic, and the containers were all cardboard so they are easily recyclable. Doylestown is lucky to have such a wonderful new business open in town. I cannot wait to return. read more

Amazing Chicken! Delicious! The staff is very friendly and the manager is awesome!!!! Definitely a must stop by place and get chicken!

Good food and really sweet staff. I like their mac n cheese, great gluten free options and in a cute location too.

Love the fried chicken. Gluten free is how I eat now so this place makes it easy to get a really good, but bad for my health, meal. Sometimes you just need to be a little bad. read more

I work right next to lovebird so this was highly anticipated by me. I got the lovebird sandwich, fries and coleslaw (my husband also got a sandwich) and we thoroughly enjoyed it. My only thing is I wish the bun was toasted or warmed, but that's personal preference. It was still delicious! My other suggestion would be have a menu sign up, and have mashed potatoes because I like fried chicken and mash. So happy to have this place nearby! My husband and I said that we are excited to have a place close that is quick food that is also high quality. read more

why can't everywhere have such fresh ingredients, straightforward menus and delicious gluten-free crispy chicken? while the menu is small, it has quite a few delicious offerings. I ordered the Brussels to the Beet salad and loved it (it barely needed any of the dressing) and my partner got the Baja Bird sandwich and also loved his meal. We shared gluten-free mac&cheese which was excellent for being gluten-free but standard by any other means. My only complaint was that it did take a bit long (we walked in and waited for about 30 minutes despite it being a "fast dining" vibe), but that is likely because they make everything to order. can't wait to go back! read more

I give this restaurant Five stars because their Gluten Free Fried Chicken Sandwich is the best I have ever had. It is even better than their non gluten free one to be honest. Great Bread, Great Brussel Sprouts and very good fries. This is one of our go to takeout places in Doylestown. The location in Newtown is just as good. read more

Fantastic fried chicken sandwich. Fresh, juicy, and on delicious bread. Made my own, with Bibb lettuce, cheddar, and Buffalo sauce. Wonderful! read more

Overrated and over priced. Chicken didn't even taste like it had any seasoning, not even salt and pepper on it. The sauce was thankfully a savior but that is saying enough in itself, true fried chicken shouldn't need sauce to drown out the blandness! Save yourself the hassle and you can find better flavor and more affordable chicken at a rest stop or grocery store. There is no way I can justify anyone spending 3 dollars per piece for dry chicken with no flavor. Steer clear. read more

My first time there. Was kinda apprehensive about a chicken place called Lovebird but the name was the only thing to be apprehensive about. A small place in Doylestown it is set on a side street in the Borough. It is basically a walk up and order with a few seats to sit down and enjoy. I had the Lovebird sandwich with fries, the chicken was lightly breaded and was very tender - the fries cooked crispy and golden. Of course all wouldn't be great if not for the fresh bun the sandwich is served on. Very good - very quick - in and out in less then a half hour (if you dine in). The only issue is the price, with the competition for chicken sandwiches no of days (Chic fil A, Wendy's, Popeyes) a $8.50 sandwich with no sides - not even chips is a bit steep - but in Bucks County they will pay. read more

Cute and quaint... very welcoming atmosphere. There is one main long table in the middle and then some eclectic wooden stools along the window side. Over priced but this is doylestown people, comon. Anyway, I ate the beet and Brussels sprout bowl and it was absolutely to die. I added grilled chicken which you could just tell was fresh. I think my favorite part about this little nook had to have been the local honey provided for customers to use. I added some to my delicious black tea and went about my day. Will definitely be back. read more

Truly delicious food; I could not order enough! Popcorn chicken, mac and cheese, Brussels sprouts - all were phenomenal. Being gluten free, it was so comforting to know that the whole menu was gluten free so I didn't have to worry about cross contamination. If I lived in this town, I'd go every week! read more

Yum. Yum. Yum!! Seriously great food and awesome team of people working here. Love these fries. And all the dips are amazing. You can't go wrong with chicken, a burger or salad. Note that it's casual seating and it's limited. So be prepped to share the main table with others. read more

As soon as I walked in with my wife we almost left immediately because there was an overwhelming stench of a mixture of sewage, dampness and a used cat liter box. I ordered the two piece and my wife ordered the popcorn chicken. The food was bland and had no spice. The concept of the restaurant relies on dipping the fried chicken into store bought sauces. I was disappointed because we were hoping for some savory fried chicken. It was cooked well but anyone can operate a pressure frier. A little more thought into the recipe and this place could be great after they fix the overwhelming odor issues. For a place that makes fried chicken you would expect to open the door and smell delicious not like crap. read more

Fried chicken? Yes please. I don't know if it's the fact that I haven't had fried chicken in a while or this place can cook fried chicken. This was one of the most crispiest, crunchiest and at the same time juiciest chicken I've had in a long time. Beats the Colonel any day. The restaurant has a rustic setting with a single sodden table in the middle of the restaurant and a few bar stools. Simple, I like it. Staff was friendly and I'm definitely coming back here. read more

Unfortunately, this place has really gone down hill. It sure where the change happened here because a couple years ago every single time I ordered it was a great experience. 3 orders of the last 4 have been wrong, food is inconsistently cooked (sometimes over sometimes under, I have yet to have an order of fried pickles that doesn't disintegrate after the first bite), and what I order I never know if all, some or none of it is going to show up. For instance, my go to order has always been the Brussels to the Beat bowl and Popcorn chicken, will the sauces I chose come with the chicken? Probably not. Will I get the salad dressing that goes with my salad? It's a toss up. Either way, I've seen more and more reviews like this popping up, so I'm hoping ownership/management listens and starts to make changes for the positive. However, I will not be giving my business back to Lovebird until I feel those changes are made. OR I'm not the one paying read more

It was good. But it wasn't great. I'm really in the mood for great after my Federal Donut disaster. I got their house chicken sandwich. Slaw, pickles, brioche bun. It was good but the chicken was a bit rubbery and not crispy at all. My friend had a two piece dark. She lives in Doylestown and likes their chicken but doesn't love it. I like the quality and its very cute and the service was first rate . But it's the chicken that's the most important part right? I'm bound to try it again and I'm hoping for better results. read more

Easily the best chicken sandwich in the area. Fries are incredibly good. Fried Chicken is seasoned to perfection, crunchy, and juicy every time. My only suggestion would be for the restaurant to offer a spicy/hot sauce dipping option as all of their sauces are sweet. Doing a Sriracha Spiced honey for the chicken (which I do at home when I get this as take out) would be simple and offer a great solution for people that like hot sauce with their chicken! Hope to be coming here for years! read more

We really enjoyed the fried chicken, mac & cheese, and fried pickles! They have a variety of sauces, but I was hoping for a BBQ sauce. Even so, we'll definitely come back, and will try their other locations. read more

Omg! This is some yummy fried chicken!!! So delicious! We also tried the Brussel sprouts and hand cut French fries! All very good! I am sad we didn't try the Mac and cheese because that is a staple but next time we will try it and they do not serve mashed pork which I think is a mistake but the rest of it makes up for that! Yum yum yum read more

Um... gluten-free fried chicken. Need I say more? But I will. This is high quality fried chicken, that comes out fresh and piping hot. Many great sauces to explore, try the lovebird sauce on the fries. The fries are great too. I imagine the small dining area could get crowded with one large communal table and a few bar seats. read more

Good just wish the grilled chicken Didn't have miso paste on it. Fried chicken was great

French fri's always hot ! I appreciate this ! thank you . You can do a much better job on seasoning the fried chicken. Also love your soda's ! You just need to kick up the chicken a notch ! read more

Having gone gluten free more recently, I had to acknowledge with much angst that fried chicken was going to be off limits.....EXCEPT HERE! I was ecstatic to see another review mention that the fried chicken was gluten free and I did confirm once inside that everything, including the mac n' cheese (Barilla gluten free pasta), but except the sandwich buns, were indeed gluten free. For a restaurant to even indicate GF is a plus, and then to offer a menu 95% gluten free is even better and made my little heart sing! You don't appreciate this kind of thing until it affects you. Anyways, the food. I ordered a quinoa bowl with fried chicken and a side of mac n' cheese. The quinoa bowl was large, much larger than I anticipated. It included spring mix salad, quinoa, raw shredded beets, fried brussel sprouts, and a small handful of chopped chicken breast (fried). The proportion of chicken to bowl was insufficient in my opinion. Thankfully I had access to more chicken, but in my next order I would skip the bowl and get chicken and sides separately. Bowl came with 2 containers of scallion vinaigrette, which didn't have much punch or flavor. The salad needed more dressing, but I couldn't finish anyways so I didn't ask for more. I also had fries and some of my family's fried chicken. The chicken was seasoned very well and had nice crispy skin. Not too heavily breaded and definitely the star of the show. The mac n' cheese was tasty with a more creamy type sauce (I did detect flavor and texture that typically only comes from the processed cheese/Velveeta type product). I would get again if I were in the mood, but I would prefer to get the fries instead. I don't know if it's b/c I try not to eat fries too often, but these were really good. Crisp enough but not dried out, perfect amount of saltiness. Price is up there (but my basis of comparison is the $7 8-piece from ACME). If I were in the area again, I would stop at Lovebird for sure. read more

Walking in the space is open and inviting. There is a huge communal table with bench seating around the windows but this space can be cramp at busy times. Food is amazing! Found the fried chicken cooked to perfection with a light breading. The sides are great and can not go wrong. read more

It pains me to write this review as we have been loving the food here since it opened. Unfortunately the last three times we ordered (we order about once a week) the orders have been wrong or have omitted items. One time my wife's sandwich had a bun instead of a gluten free wrap. She has celiac. Other times it was simply bacon being left off the sandwiches. Would love for this wonderful place to look at their process and quality assurance and try to get back on track to be the great place it was before..... read more
