    Garbage chicken and atmosphere today. Expansion always ruins quality. This is nothing more than a fast food restaurant now trying to get money from expansion. Chicken was underbaked and wet with moisture soaking through paper and box. Also,try holding your company meeting somewhere else besides the dining room. Very unprofessional with four old guys yelling throughout the meal. Had to leave. Avoid.

    Chicken Sandwich Meal

    Don't sleep on sneakybird! Juicy, well-seasoned, oven baked chicken is hard to come by at a low price point in the Valley and sneakybird gets 5 stars across the board! They have your basic chicken spot menu, but the quality of meat and cook is what shines here! That, and they have a very good selection of various dry rubs and sauce combos where you can discover your favorite flavors when you get their sauce flight (to try numerous sauces at once!) The price is very good for what you get. If you enjoy chicken, check this spot out! The only suggestion we had is that the buffalo sauce isn't quite as hot as you'd expect Buffalo to normally be. They do have a couple sauces that lean on spicy, but they could really kick it up a knotch if they offered even 2-3 more really hot sauces (beyond a mango habanero).

    Crispy, and tasty chicken! Tried Sneakybird and was pleasantly surprised! The chicken is crispy, light, not greasy, and packed with flavor. The sauces we tried were great, the buffalo and mango habanero Sides are a hit or miss--the tots were decent but the sweet potato tots could've been better and crispier. Service was friendly! Overall, a great place for a fast-casual chicken fix

    Sauce trio. All yummy!

    One of our favorite Arizona spots. The service is always great. The food is delicious. Relaxed atmosphere with TVs so we were able to watch a baseball game.

    Chicken sandwich with sweet potato tots

    Compelling new non-fried chicken concept. In a world of chicken sandwiches all vying for top bird, Sneakybird is a welcome change of pace. The menu features made-to-order fresh ingredients, including unique rubs and flavors. I liked the marketing from the first moment I saw it, from the all lower-case lettering in the logo to the bold stance against fried foods. I was intrigued. You place your order at the counter and take a seat. There's plenty of room to spread out, and even a sports bar atmosphere with several TVs. I was a little surprised to hear the wait for my order was going to be 15-20 minutes. The explanation made sense--freshly cooked food takes time. Maybe that's a norm worth getting used to. The sandwich was juicy, tasty, and fresh. The chicken itself wasn't as flavorful as other chicken sandwiches out there (there is something to be said for breading), but the sauces and toppings really pulled it all together. It's one of those meals where you feel satisfied with a smarter choice that still delivers on flavor. The sweet potato tots on the side were a welcome addition, softer than traditional tater tots. I'm looking forward to trying out the other flavor options. Next time, I'll plan for a longer stay and check out some of the drinks too.

    I was intrigued by this place because they have breaded chicken sandwiches that aren't fried but rather, air fried! Always looking for "healthier" small swaps these days. The plaza is in on a busy street but not the easiest to get in and out of. Upon entering, we were warmly greeted by staff. As our first time, they walked us through the menu and gave us time to review before taking our orders. You get to select the type of chicken, breaded/naked, dry rub seasoning and sauce (that is always served on the side - which I'm always a fan of). I ordered the original chicken sandwich, breaded, with SPG (salt, pepper, garlic) and the garlic butter sauce. You can choose to get the sandwich on its own for for an additional $2, you can get a side of tater tots. Sandwich + tots = 12.99. The sandwich is served on a square brioche bun. Overall, the sandwich was great. I didn't miss the fried aspect at all. I also enjoyed the fact that at the end of the meal, I didn't feel this heaviness that I feel after other fried chicken sandwiches; yet, I was satisfied like I just ate a fried chicken sandwich. The chicken was a thicker cut and juicy. It had a good crisp to it and was nicely balance with the tomato, lettuce, pickles and sauce. My only criticism, which is based more on my own pickiness, is the bread to meat ratio. While I loved each individual element, I felt like there was too much bread for the amount of meat. We also got the chicken wings. The only option to get them is naked, but they were hot and juicy too. Everything is made to order so it is worth the wait. Overall, I like this place and I hope more people learn about them and give them a try. I will be back!

    4 piece Chicken Tenders with Jalapeño Ranch dry rub and Habanero Mango Sauce with Maple Sugar Tots

    After a long hike with our pup we searched for healthy, outdoor patio, dog friendly restaurant and stumbled on Sneakybird. Nick was fabulous with every customer! We ordered the Chicken Tenders and Maple Sugar Tots (as Sweet Potato was sold out) and we were in disbelief that it wasn't fried! The flavor on everything was fabulous! Healthy food and great portions! Left full, satisfied and planning on returning soon!!! Our new FAVORITE restaurant in Scottsdale! Thanks Sneakybird and Nick! Sincerely your TOTAL fans!

    Homestyle Chicken Sandwich with Parmesan rub and Fool's Gold
    Kayla S.

    Oven baked is a hit! The service was just okay. It was our first time and i came with questions about recommendation however the cashier just kept reading the menu to me. When i mentioned i didn't like spicy she mentioned the spicy items when i clarified no spicy she still repeated the spicy items. The place could be a bit cleaner. Other than that a decent spot.

    Had the chicken sandwich (homestyle) with the jalapeño garlic ranch dry rub and sneaky sauce it was delicious and would order again. The sauce comes on the side and you can dip the sandwich or pour the sauce on it. I even mixed it with the ketchup for the tots Good service from when I walked in the door and they deliver the food to your table. They checked in while I was eating which was cool. The restaurant itself is laid back with a bar that has 3 TVs and a selection of draft and canned beer. Low key spot during lunch to come hang out and enjoy some good chicken! Sandwich with tots and drink was about $17.50.

    Naked 4-piece combo with veggies

    MAAaaaaaaaaan this was not worth! Really dry chicken with little to no flavor. Even the dry rub was rubbing me wrong, or more accurately, not rubbing me at all (out of sight and out of mind, just like my ex wife!) Tried four different sauces, BBQ, Buffalo, Spicy Ranch, and the Gold Sauce; wasn't huge fan of any (spicy ranch was fine, but I'ma. ranch freak bro, I'll DRINK hidden valley and that's a D tier ranch at best) Buffalo tasted like powdered milk and synthetic spices blended with tap water. The kind of lab concentrate that you add one teaspoon of to a big plastic vat of sludge and now everything tasted like grape soda! Service was nice, restaurant was clean, but didn't like the food. Sue me. I have no money, I spent it all at sneaky bird. Only thing SNEAKY about SNEAKY bird is how they SNUCK bots into their Yelp reviews. 4.5 stars guys? Really? Do you thank people and say "my bad, friend!": when you get cut off in traffic? Some of the Elite '25 members need to get investigated for corruption. That's all I'm saying. For reference, here are places I would go instead: Canes, Slim Chicken's, Hot Chicken Alley, Dave's Hot Chicken, Chick Fil-A, Costco Dino nuggie at home. Now if you hate those places, you can safely discard my review and try the place yourself. but if you're a free-thinking human who questions things like the news and pigeons and CIA planted celebrities (that's real, look it up) then take my word for it, skip this place.

    Chicken nuggets and Maple Sweet Potato Tots
    Cammi P.

    Looking for a healthier chicken option? Sneaky bird chicken is never fried and extremely fresh! A side of the sweet potato tots are a must order. While their ranch sauce is spicy, it is delicious with the chicken. Takeout is perfect from the restaurant and service is always quick.

You can tell right away this is the kind of place regulars come back to often. Food I didn't try much food, but I did have the cheese crisp and it was solid. Light, flaky, and more like an open-faced tostada than a quesadilla. It came topped with green chili and chicken, and everything worked well together. Based on that, I'd expect the rest of the menu to be consistent, even if it's not trying to reinvent the wheel. Service Service was efficient, especially considering how busy it was. No complaints here... you can tell the staff knows how to handle a full house and keep things moving. Ambience This is where the place stands out. The vibe feels like a food network designed a biker bar, but in a fun, not over-the-top way. It's also apparently a Kansas City Chiefs bar, which adds to the identity. There was a live band playing early 2000s rock hits, which kept the energy up. Crowd was friendly overall, very much a neighborhood crowd. Overall This isn't a destination bar, but it's a really solid go-to if you live nearby. Think of it as an elevated dive/sports bar with a strong local following. Good drinks, good energy, and a place that does what it's supposed to do well.

This beer-focused bar isn't the easiest to find because it's underground down a stairwell. Look for the signage close to the stairwell. Ambiance (3.5/5): We sat at a booth at the bar. It's one of the few seats that have back support (which is important to me due to my old man back). Outside of that, it's all barstool seating with no back support inside. Outside, they have a small patio with chairs. That would be another option for me when the weather cooperates. The decor inside is your typical beer bar decor. Laid back. Comfortable. There's a jukebox. A cool place to grab some brews. Service (3.5/5): Two bartenders were working that evening and they were pretty solid. I did have to grab their attention a few times but no biggie. The Whining Pig has daily specials including a beer and grilled cheese combo on Wednesdays. I was curious on the price. They didn't know nor did they find out. That was a miss. Food (N/A): No food for me on this visit as I had dinner prior. They have a small menu, mostly made up of various grilled cheese sandwiches. They have a classic one, a pizza one, and a few others. I'm a dan of grilled cheese so I'll definitely try one out at some point. They also have charcuterie boards. Drinks (4.5/5): Now for the good stuff! Unlike most beer spots, they also have wine and several cocktails. But when in Rome, so I went with a beer flight. You can choose five beers of your choosing from a list of 40 beers or so. While they don't brew their own beer, they have an interesting selection of local craft beers and European ones. The types of beers you're not going to find at your neighborhood bar, including saisons and sours. The flight is served in a pig shape holder which was pretty funny. Flights are always my go-to when they're offered as they allow you to try out a nice variety. Added bonus: Walk down the hallway past the bathrooms and you'll run into Pigtails---a speakeasy owned by the same folks. That way, you can get both your brews and elevated cocktails fix in the same night.

If you're into craft beer but want a cleaner, more elevated environment, this is a must-visit.
