Everything was delicious. Definitely get the Elote Nachos. Chrissy Chicken (Buffalo Chicken Sandwhich) was very good. Norris tacos and grilled shrimp tacos were excellent. Our server Matt (The Beatles Guy) was great. Everyone was super friendly and attentive. The home made Shirley Temple was very good too according to my kid. read more

Stopped into Redbird for the first time for a quick lunch and had a great experience. The food was spectacular across the board. I especially liked the black bean burger which was hands down the best black bean burger I've ever had. The Redbird margarita is one of the better margaritas I've had in a long time with a perfectly balanced salty, sweet, heat chile/salt rimmed glass. Our server Jhelsy was on top of things from start to finish and made the experience with two five year-old girls in tow as easy as it could be. We'll be back without a doubt. read more

What a fantastic experience! I've been in Tucson for a few days and have managed several spectacular meals. Redbird tonight was a 10 out of 10! From our welcome when we arrived to our waitress, to the food, everything was perfect. With so many choices on the menu we decided to do our own version of "tapas" by ordering several items off the menu starting with the Mac and cheese. I've never been a huge fan of this staple but the way this dish was prepared was wonderful just the right amount of cheese, coupled with the correct pasta to hold that creamy goodness. We followed that up with the Green chile bacon waffle fries, a perfect mixture of ingredients that made the fries "flavor carriers", not just fries! A side note on the fries, I've had thousands of fries in hundreds of joints. You can always tell when they are using fresh oil in the fryer. Judging by the light taste of these waffle fries, I'd bet on daily oil changes. A HUGE and welcome difference. Our entrees, Carne asada tacos (chile roja), Early bird burger and Harvest salad were all equally delicious. A perfect burger, mouthwatering tacos and a fresh salad made with high quality ingredients complemented each other perfectly. Lastly, my house margarita with tajin was light and refreshing. Not super sweet nor overpowering, I recommend it. The bottom line, make a reservation and eat here. You will not be disappointed. Staff:11 out of 10 our server was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the menu Food 11 out of 10 Light, tasty, and prepared with care using fresh ingredients Ambience 10 out of 10 the restaurant environs were solid and not distracting, comfortable and kept the focus on the food, where it should be. This is now an absolute go to on any trip to Tucson ! Bravo!! read more

Hubby & I enjoyed an appetizer on the patio. Highly impressed with the Green Chile Waffle Fries, still thinking about those. Normally I'm a picky eater but ate the ENTIRE thing. The service was mid, if it was our first time attending we would've been disappointed but understood the due to the busyness and popularity of the location. read more

Redbird Scratch Kitchen + Bar - Green Chili Bacon Waffle Fries - Chicken Wings Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Absolutely delicious! We shared the elote nachos with birria. Portion was huge and flavors were on 1000. We also tried their wings. I had the chile lime dry rub and loved it and my boy friend had the honey soy ginger which were pretty good as well (I wished more ginger came through!) service was great and friendly. The server saved us from ordering a burger as well I also had the margarita on happy hour which was yummy but it was Monday and they also had martini specials. Ambiance was modern and had great vibes. Not a huge place but they also had a nice patio. Will have to be back to try more! read more

Redbird Scratch Kitchen + Bar - Walking into Redbird. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Redbird replaced Sullivan's Eatery and Creamery building at Orange Grove/Oracle. Ambiance is fun, casual, complete with garage doors that open to exterior seating. Open layout, bright, has a bar, excellent service. Like that you can see chefs in the kitchen. In-house made sauces - their ketchup is a fan favorite. Fries had a satisfying crunch - cooked in canola. They serve burgers slit when shared. Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding is topped with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and is large enough for 3-5 people to share. They give you a warm moist towel to tidy up after your meal. Reservation recommended likely due to restaurant size - bar and outside seating typically no wait. read more

Watched a game from the bar and had an awesome bartender. Very attentive and friendly! The wings were very good and the craft beer was very cold. Win-Win situation. read more

Came here on a date! It was okay. The layout is cramped and it's loud. The ambiance is confusing and reminds me of a Chili's but cramped and brighter. I initially ordered the loaded wings in the jerk flavor. I tried the jerk sauce before ordering which was great. However on the wings not so much. There were a few issues. 1.) I asked for the wings fried hard. When they came out room temperate, I imagine that they have wings pre-fried hard to keep up with service which is gross. Also the wings are not cooked in the sauce so although the sauce was good...the under-seasoned wings paired with the sauce made for a not so good combination. I sent everything back and went for the Nashville got chicken sandwich which was SPICY but man was it GOOOD. I would definitely order that again. My date got the harvest salad with shrimp which was okay. It has some exciting things in there but the shrimp were essentially popcorn shrimp which I think is inappropriate for a restaurant this expensive. I orders two margarita. The first was perfect but the second was off. Almost as if a blanco was used for the first and mezcal for the second. It needed to be remade. Our server Olivia was very patient and understanding throughout the dining experience. Overall would not recommend. People seem to love this place and based off the recommendations to come here I thought I would have too. read more

Our experience this time was good but not as fabulous as two years ago. Cocktails are good, the Mexican Street Corn was delicious, and now they encourage getting tortilla chips to eat it either, which was fun. We shared the Quesabirria, good but not nearly as good as last time, not sure what they changed. We also shared the crispy shrimp tacos which were very good. Cute, usually very busy but sometimes you can walk in & get a table. Server was good but in the past we had a couple who were really outstanding. read more

Decided to give this place a try since it had such high reviews. It was very busy and loud when we arrived. We were seated quickly and order taken promptly. This place has typical bar food. Nothing special and doesn't help when you never see your waitress other than taking your order and bring the check. We will not be back as the experience and food were not worth the money. Much better options in the area. read more

Drinks were solid. Food was surprisingly good, I didn't have any expectations. It was a last minute choice for dinner. The elote nachos are not to be missed and I'm not a huge nacho person. Typically, nachos have some toppings and the bottom is all chips, not here. The sauce and toppings went all the way to the bottom, they layer it in. I have never had nachos as good as these, they are the best nachos I have ever had. The corn was super sweet, spicy peppers mixed in and the queso was the creamiest. The amount of effort and dedication to the quality and flavorful toppings and sauces was insane. The Sonoran burger was excellent. Large and juicy patty with creamy cheeses and a spicy chile. The bun was soft and buttery. Overall really good burger. The shrimp tacos were my least favorite, but they were still really really good. The portion was very generous, which isn't normal for shrimp tacos. I was low-key annoyed because the waitress asked my husband if he wanted to add fries to his burger and he did. When the food arrived we realized we had ordered way too much food. The food was really good, so I'm gonna forgive her. There were only three of us and we couldn't even come close to finishing all the food. We brought the nachos back and our family ate them cold and loved them. Portions are massive. The drinks were good, not as good as the food. Their Paloma is a little bit more of their own interpretation, but light and sweet with a spicy tajin rim. The old fashion was my favorite of the group, a very solid drink. I tried a seasonal drink and it was pretty bland. The service was good, maybe too good at upselling. We will definitely be back when in town. read more

Food was mediocre. Server was okay. Good attitude but saw our menus ready and still would not come around. Not busy. The nachos were good. Came out mid temp, not hot or cold. Shrimp tacos. Tiny bite size shrimp, dry, not enough sauce, the green dressing that comes on tacos was non existent. Just a taste. If that. Burger was not flavored for as loaded with ingredients as it was. Was not my favorite and probably won't return. read more

Redbird Scratch Kitchen + Bar - Elote Nachos, Crispy Nashville AZ, Mac and cheese - Chicken Wings Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

A coworker recommended this place and I'm so glad they did. Stopped in for dinner to this cozy spot. If it was warmer I'd sit on the patio. I ordered the elote nachos added chicken a side of guacamole and the BBQ burger. I split my food with a family member and I was thankful they served the burger cut! The waitress was nice and attentive, food phenomenal. I never knew i was missing these nachos in my life but they were exceptional the flavors are amazing. The nachos although piled high were layered with ingredients throughout which is perfect because the chips at the bottom matter. Every bite was better than the last. Then the burger oh my! Flavorful from the 2 patties, BBQ sauce, tangy pickles it just worked! My only complaint is the guacamole was $5 and the portion was very small. I hope to be back soon when im in town and I'm definitely getting the nachos again. read more

Friendly, attentive staff. Tables inside and out with opened walls to patio area. Nice bar area. Clean restrooms. Sonoran Burger--they put it on a bed of lettuce for a low carb option for me. It looked like it was only one big smashed burger, but maybe I didn't look close enough. Tasty. Doesn't come with any sides. Blue mushroom burger had a delightful blue cheese flavor. Lots of other delicious sounding food options, just not a lot of low carb options. We enjoyed our meals. read more

Wife and I had lunch here the other day. We started with the Elote Nachos (see photo). Jeezus, enough for 4 people and nicely done. I liked the sweetness of the peppers. I was too full after eating way too many nachos, so opted for a small order of the classic wings. The spice level was nice, and they were crispy, the way I like them. The one negative: the blue cheese sauce was way too watery and didn't stick to anything you dipped in it. My wife had the Harvest salad, which she really enjoyed, but after the nachos she couldn't finish it. Service was great - very cheery and upbeat. The interior is pleasant but a little loud - might want to sit outside if you want to carry on a lengthy conversation. The burgers going by our table looked wonderful. Next time!! read more

My partner and I stopped in for lunch over the weekend. I have a tendency to peruse the menu of restaurants I plan on visiting, and I was so excited to try the food at Redbird that I wasn't sure what I would get when we were actually there! Although everything looked good, I had to eventually settle on something, so we ordered two appetizers and an entree: the garlic confit pretzels, loaded waffle fries with birria, and loaded buffalo wings. Of the things we ordered, the garlic confit pretzels were my favorite. The pretzels came out piping hot, and they were topped with the perfect amount of salt (I dislike it when pretzels are too salty). They came with mustard, cheese dip, garlic confit, and sweet peppers. The best combination was a spread of garlic confit, topped with a little pepper, then dipped in cheese for a savory, salty bite with a hint of sweetness. Amazing! My partner said that the buffalo wings were really good and that the toppings (bleu cheese crumbles, sauteed celery and carrots, and drizzled with ranch) really elevated the dish. He had one complaint, that the wings themselves were dry, but everything else was so good that it didn't ruin his experience. Overall, I had a lovely time dining at Redbird Scratch Kitchen, and I'm excited to stop in again to try more of their unique and tasty offerings! read more

Nice restaurant with food made from scratch. Waitress was very efficient, helpful and friendly. All the food was enjoyed and we had the elote nachos as an appetizer (very good). The cobb was your basic cobb but added candied bell peppers, different touch and went well (these are also on the nachos). The mac noodles were an interesting shape and they were good. The kids burger was big and came with drink, fruit and waffle fries. The menu was mostly wings, appetizers, burgers, chicken sandwiches and salads. The inside was nicely decorated with lots of windows and the seating outside had nice plants and ceiling fans, there is a small bar inside too. read more

This place does not disappoint! Met a friend here for catch-up time after work. I love sitting in the bar area as does she. Ryan took very good care of us. We gave our livers a break with mocktails, a margarita and a Moscow mules sans alcool. We shared the elote nachos and buffalo wings with sesame ginger and ranch on the side. I had never had the elote nachos before here or anywhere. If I hadn't shared them, I might have eaten the whole thing myself. They were tops! Looking forward to having them again already! read more

Redbird Scratch Kitchen + Bar - BIRRIA NACHOS. Amazing every time - Chicken Wings Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We came out from Phoenix and wanted a nice quiet supper, what a surprise, it was so loud. Of course it was nice for outside seating. The weather was perfect with a nice cool breeze so we could also enjoy the sunset. The food was delicious. We're not much for smash burgers, but the Red Bird Classic was pretty pretty darn good, and big with 2 patties. The 3 taco deal was fantastic. Barria, Pollo Asado, Chili Rajas was amazing. Tons of flavor, like a party in your mouth. Carne Asada tacos were perfectly cooked. The Harvest Salad w/ Chicken was big enough for two, AND was served as such. Bella was our server and she was great, we were a high maintenance table and she took it in stride, with a wonderful sense of humor. When we get back down to Tucson we'll make it a point to stop at Red Bird, but we'll be sitting outside, unless it's in the middle of summer of course. LOL! read more

Fantastic food, fantastic staff, delicious mixed drinks, everything was amazing. We shared a number of items, including the early bird burger, green chile bacon waffle fries, carne asada tacos, harvest salad, and their Mac and cheese. Everything was in plentiful portions, and expertly cooked.

I've been here twice, and I'm glad we came back for a second try since it was better than the first. The first time we came we got one of the loaded wings (elote), but felt that there was a bit too much going on that overpowered the wings. Since wings are one of their featured sections on the menu (brined for 24 hours, slow cooked then flash fried), I had to give it another chance and was more satisfied with the meal overall. I definitely prefer the classic wings because I could better appreciate the brine/slow cook/flash fried preparation. We opted for the lemon pepper (dry rub) and buffalo (sauce) - the wings weren't greasy at all and the chicken was tender. The sauce and dry rub really complemented the wings. You can get carrot and celery sticks on the side with either ranch, blue cheese, or both dressings. My husband also ordered the shrimp ceviche which comes with chips and was very light; the citrusy marinade was delicious and there was a nice mix of cucumber, onion, and avocado to add balanced texture to the dish. Solid meal overall! read more

Saturday, we were seated quickly. I had my little dog so we sat on the cute patio. The restaurant is beautifully designed comfortable and pleasing to the eye. Our waitress was amazing. I wish I could remember her name, but she was very sweet and checked on us all the time. she took time to talk to us about some of the dishes as well. We ended up ordering the Elote nachos, which were phenomenal. We also each got a single taco which turning out we didn't really need. The nachos were very filling. Can't wait to go back and try some of the salads and the chicken wings look amazing. All in all a wonderful experience. ! read more

Let me start off by saying WOW! The food was DELICIOUS!! My husband and I aren't local, so we went with something nearby where we were traveling to and that looked good. On the outside, Redbird looks like any other small cafe. But, the food says otherwise!! We kicked off our dining experience by ordering a freshly squeezed lemonade and a Redbird margarita. Both were so so good. For our entrees, my husband ordered the Blue Mushroom Burger with a side of fries and I got 3 tacos (crispy shrimp, grilled shrimp, and carne asada). We both kept saying "wow, this is so good" during our whole meal. I didn't ask, but I'm pretty sure the ketchup and ranch were homemade too and dang they were good. My husband's burger was cooked perfectly and he loves blue cheese, so he absolutely loved it. The fries also had a perfect crunch and were very tasty. My tacos were top notch. My favorite was probably the crispy shrimp taco, 2nd was the grilled shrimp, and lastly the carne asada. I asked for the pickled veggies on top and it added extra flavor. Be prepared, the peppers they add to the shrimp tacos are spicy! We both ate every last bite of our meal. A sweet surprise at the end was the hot towels they give you to wipe your hands off which I thought was so cute and such great hospitality. Overall, an amazing experience and for an out of towner, I'm so happy we went to Redbird. I'd highly recommend!! read more

We had sangria and they were some of the I've had in AZ. My wide had grilled chicken sandwich and I had the BOG burger. Both were awesome. Note though, lettuce makes the burger slippery as it's not a leaf of lettuce but small bits. We shared waffle fries and they were great as well but too much to eat after the filling sandwiches. The service was good, we were expecting a wait and were seated almost immediately and we were expecting a long wait for food but it was not long at all. They messed up bill but they were good about it if a little confusing. The place had a small town diner vibe but the food and drinks are top notch. read more

I saw that Redbird was on the way to my hotel so I placed a to-go lunch order online. Bonus points when I saw that they made Yelp's Top Places to Eat According to Yelp Elites in 2024! I knew then I was in for a treat. I opted for the shrimp tacos and street corn and they were prepared fairly quickly. The staff greeted me upon entering and brought me my order right away. The shrimp tacos come with your choice of fried beer battered or grilled chile-lime shrimp, baja chipotle-honey sauce, sliced Fresno peppers, pickled onion, green cabbage, and cilantro. One taco is $5 or three for $14. Of course I went with the three. I was very hungry and I inhaled all three in one sitting. The baja chipotle-honey sauce really complimented the shrimp. The street corn came with roasted corn, mayo, soft butter onions, lime juice, cilantro, cotija cheese, triple cheese sauce, and tajin sprinkle. It was very flavorful and I really enjoyed it. It's easy to see why they've made Yelp's Top Places to Eat According to Yelp Elites in 2024! read more
