This was an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff was courteous and helpful. The food was delicious. The spicy chicken is my favorite. Not too spicy but just spicy enough to satisfy. The crust on the chicken was the best. The restaurant was clean and the ambiance was nice and inviting. Highly recommended! read more

My spouse and I had a late lunch today at 1pm. We should have realized it wasn't going to be great when the was only one other patron. I got the 4 piece strips with onion rings and added a side of red beans and rice. My wife got a 2 piece bone in chicken and fries. My strips were fresh and too hot to eat when they arrived. They had the thinnest coat of batter I have ever had on chicken strips. It was more like they had just been dredged with the lightest coating of flour and not much else. I ordered the spicy strips but didn't get a hint of spice. The onion rings were the best thing I had but they were undercooked, barely any browning and very soft. My spouses bone in chicken had a bit more batter but obviously had been sitting for a while and tasted old. There was zero spice in her supposedly spicy chicken. She remarked "Popeyes has nothing to worry about". The fries were good but a bit bland for "seasoned" fries. My additional side of red beans and rice was adequate but nothing special. Additionally it was warm and humid in the building. read more

First time going and it was really good! Better thank kfc!!! Server was super nice. Even tho it was slow and I'm surprised it is I'm glad we came in! Deff will be coming back and feed will be worth the 25 min drive! read more

Popped in to see what this restaurant offered. Nice and clean. Counter staff was so nice and helpful. It was between fast order and sit down. It is not table service but if dining in you can get a table or booth and they will bring it to you. They have a sauce station with 6 dipping sauces. I ordered one chicken breast. No heavy batter like many - the chicken was delicious and moist. Did not test sides so cannot review those. read more

My sister was a vendor at the fried chicken festival. When she told me this company won first place. I put the name in my phone, so I could try it on my next trip to Nola. I was visiting the week of Thanksgiving and decided to give it a try. What a disappointment. I ordered wings and chicken nuggets. Chic fil a have cheaper and better nuggets. I had to trash the wings. They were rubbery and lack any taste/flavor. Don't bother folks. Just go to Popeyes. read more

This is a new place doing things right. I got the 3 pc dark with red beans and rice and macaroni and cheese. It also came with a roll. It was really good. The lady behind the counter was very friendly. I ordered online and she offered me a glass of water while I waited. Will differently be back. The inside was very clean. read more

The food was good, but they are pricey . The bread (rolls) was basic, nothing special. They should consider using plain slice white bread. But overall, can't complain. We loved it. read more

Good Chicken. The restaurant itself was a nice setup. Efficient and good service. I've had the fried chicken and chicken tenders and liked them both. Recommend it. read more

Pretty good fried chicken. Definitely fresh and hot. The sides weren't too bad. I had the seasoned fries, red beans and coleslaw. The coleslaw was my least favorite because it was pretty bland. It needs something to flavor it up. I will be back though because I did enjoy the chicken. read more

Excellent super crispy and juicy chicken and the Hen Salad is my amazing! We will be back!

Amazing food, great service. Will definitely go back again. Chicken is spicy and so juicy and flavorful

Chickens good, sides need some help. Red beans and rice was soup and like 7 beans in the cup. Higher priced but like I said the chicken was good. Would go back just for the chicken read more

Food very delicious and hot, my second visit, and I am very satisfied just as I was the first time. The cashier / waitress is very nice and on point. She treats customers like family. Thanks for the great food I Love it read more

Their Chicken was not good, it was very rough and felt almost like rubber. Very disappointing because I'd heard good things about them.

We tried this for the first time on a Saturday around 2:00. It was not very busy so we were able to immediately order from the kiosk, grab our drinks and all catch a quick hand wash and then our food was there. It came out really fast and was fresh and hot. The fried chicken was perfectly seasoned and juicy. It was the best chicken I have had in a long time. We got two 2-piece dark plates which come with a leg and thigh. I cannot express how good the chicken is! My son got a 2-piece tender plate and he thought the tenders were plump, juicy and delicious. The breading is somewhat unique but the perfect quantity and texture. For sides we had the fries, coleslaw and red beans. The fries are Cajun styles with seasoning and a light breading. Similar to Popeyes but better mainly due to how fresh they were. The slaw is solid although not anything particularly amazing. The red beans were really good. They were creamy and thick with a fantastic flavor. One of the surprises was the rolls. I had seen other people describe them as basic, but I find that highly inaccurate. They appear basic but they have more of a fry bread taste and we're simply wonderful. All in all, we really enjoyed our first visit here and plan to be back soon. I recommend it to anyone looking for something other than the fast food and grocery chicken we have in our area! Sorry no pics, we dove right in and it was so good I forgot to take any until it was too late! read more

Great flavor, great atmosphere. Modern approach (ordering kiosks) with great old school chicken. Perfectly spiced. Finally a non chain local place with amazing chicken. read more

Redbird Fried Chicken - 3 piece bone in with red beans and rice - Chicken Wings Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

See all

Wanted to love this place and was pumped to try it! The chicken is insanely spicy! There is not an option for mild, which would be a great option. They were out of so many things, which was a little frustrating and they are pretty pricey for what you get. We got the combos and I think I may have gotten a tablespoon of red beans and rice, which seemed pretty skimpy. read more

We were the only ones in there tonight at 6PM. They cooked our chicken after we ordered so there is no excuse to save me burned chicken. One piece was dark brown & hard, the others were also overdone but I ate them. I asked them to switch the worst one for another piece. The next one he bought me was even more overcooked & unedible. My husband got strips which were cooked good. The best thing we had was the onion rings and red beans. The mac & cheese had absolutely no flavor. They show a big bar in the pictures which they have & they also have a Tito's sign on the front door, but they are misleading because they do not serve alcohol. We were totally shocked after the reviews we read, just how bad it was. Someone needs to turn down the frying time. I am usually not picky, but soooo disappointed. Definitely will not be going back. read more

The best part. Great Sauces and Great Mac and Cheese. I was disappointed with the Chicken Strips not Crispy. I guess still getting used to fast food at $15 per person. I hope this means workers are being paid more. Restaurant was clean and service was good. read more

First time here, pleasantly surprised. I had the two piece white meet, with coleslaw. Both were excellent, being fresh, moist and tasty. Wife had Nuggets and coleslaw, equally tasty. The business was very clean and neat. Wait staff could not have been more attentive. We will return. read more

Save your money and stick with Popeyes! Stopped by this restaurant on 06/04/24 around 4:50 PM. I wanted a 3 piece white. After some confusion, the cashier rang up a 2 piece white plus added a breast. Received my order to go. Got home and the first thing I noticed they did not include the extra breast which I paid for. The chicken is lacking any taste. The French fries were greasy and the red beans and rice tasted bland. Again, I don't know the hype, but this doesn't even come close to Popeyes for service or taste! read more

The food was past terribly I have never post on food experience. Very pricy for 2 chicken breast and a order of wings. I think the wings were fried yesterday. I tries to post picture but was not allowed. All the sides were very sad. Paid $30.00 for food that was uneatable. The worst read more

Great tenders and red beans. Good spice but not lingering heat. Quick service too! Staff was friendly and helpful.

Great fried chicken! It came out very hot and fresh. Would def return and recommend. The fries were my favorite side.

The chicken was very crispy, I really enjoyed it. I thought it's a bit pricey, I'll try it again soon

Great chicken red beans , and New Orleans style music. Very roomie and comfortable restaurant

Not sure why this place has such bad reviews but it definitely exceeded my expectations. Chicken tenders were nicely sized and perfectly cooked. Macaroni and cheese is worth a visit by itself! Onion rings were good and unique as not many chicken places offer this as a side. Only thing that was disappointing was the roll. It was so thin that the oil saturated through the entire thing. Great variety of sauces to fit every persons preference. As someone whose mom complains about spice in literally everything, she had no problem with the mild meat. Will definitely be back again to try their sandwiches. read more

People noice with their customer service. Chicken tastes good as Chick Fla and the sauces rock! Cajun fries are terrific

Great food. Best onion rings I've ever had and the chicken is always perfect. Employees are hit or miss, mostly good but I've had a few bad experiences. You can only order 2 or 3 tenders at a time which I think limits this business. I'd like to be able to get a 4 piece and not pay for 5. Sauce bar is a nice feature but they keep the "premium" sauces at 35 cents a piece. read more

Love the fried chicken tenders. I also had the fried okra, gumbo and fries very delicious. I love the free sauces they offer and such friendly customer service. read more

I was visiting the area and found this place. What a find! Flavors were fantastic. This chicken is cooked to order, and you would expect to have to wait, but no... came out fast, hot, crunchy. Yum! Will definitely be eating here again when I am back in town. read more

It was very different than I expected. I'm not really sure if the chicken is naked or if is has the lightest coating particularly on the skin. I ordered a 3 piece spicy mixed box to go. When I opened it I had a wing and 2 thighs, should have asked what the mix was. The chicken was tasty, crispy, juicy and tender. If I was in the area I would probably eat there again in house, but would not go out of the way to get take out. read more

Chicken has good flavor but rather greasy. Two sides to a plate were rather small. Red beans were good and mac and cheese tasted like Velveeta but ok. This is a place where you wait on yourself and they bring your food. I'd say a fair experience, nothing special. read more

The chicken is made to order. Therefore, it is always hot and it tastes great. It is the best.

Great food and great prices! My husband and I eat here frequently. The best deal in town on their wings! Wish there was a location in Mandeville. read more

The chicken was probably some of the best that I have had! Well seasoned and had a nice kick to it spice wise. I wish there was more variety as far as sides go and more options like a chicken sandwich, alcohol options, and desserts. Will be back! read more

Food is horrible and way way overpriced...first time it was good. Next three it kept getting worse. Mac and cheese is about as bad as Ive ever had. The chicken is so hard you can't be sure if it's bones or hard crust skin you're eating. Was really hoping it was going to be a good place for fried chicken...I just can't see them staying open read more

Fantastic! The chicken scene on the north shore just stepped up a few notches! Goodbye bland and boring!Thank you local Red Bird guys !
