Chicken wrap
Alan B.

This place wasn't bad, never had it before, I got a chicken wrap by itself and 6 piece tenders with tots, and 3 sauces. It was quite a long wait for the food, and when I grabbed it I brought to my truck and double checked and seen they gave me the wrong order. Went back in to exchange the wrong order for my wrap. I'm thinking they just put those tenders in my wrap. The chicken was "ok" the wrap was decent. The sauce cups were extremely tiny! 2 sauce cups for 6 tenders and 1 cup for the wrap... nothing really stood out here except the long wait and wrong order.

Just discovered Sneaky Bird in Surprise and... yeah, this one's officially in our regular rotation. This is very much a mom-and-pop, Phoenix-local spot, and they commit to their lane: baked chicken, not fried. And it works. Big flavor, zero grease, no food coma afterward. They offer a great selection of dry rubs and sauces, and you get to pick one of each, which is a fun way to customize your order. We went with one of their featured combos, SMOKY & SASSY: Lemon Pepper rub + "The Q" (Citrus Chipotle BBQ). Sweet, smoky, citrusy, with just the right amount of heat. Balanced and bold without being overpowering. We ordered the chicken tenders, and they were excellent--juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. My only nitpick: I wouldn't have been mad at a little more sauce. My wife and I shared the four-piece, and while it was satisfying, we both agreed we probably could've ordered a bit more. Rookie mistake. Won't happen again. Sides matter, and Sneaky Bird delivers. The tots are a must--crispy, golden, and dangerous in the best way. The side veggies were a nice accoutrement (yes, I meant to use that word), fresh and a great contrast to the chicken. Now let's talk dessert. Get the salted maple cookie. Non-negotiable. Warm, rich, perfectly sweet with that salty finish--it's the kind of cookie you think about later. Absolute must-get. One caveat: there is some spice here. It's not wild, but if you don't like heat at all, keep that in mind. If you do, you'll find this quite nice. Yes... I meant to rhyme. Bottom line: great food, reasonable prices, not greasy, and full of flavor. Sneaky Bird just earned a permanent spot on our "where should we eat again?" list. We'll be back. Soon.

Hubby was over the moon with the sliders. They came with tots. I will agree - so good! Super moist and yummy. Because I am a crazy person and won't eat anything breaded I ordered the "bare" chicken wrap and it definitely wasn't as delish as the hubs. I ordered the sweet potato tots - they do have maple tots but I'm sure you can figure out - if I'm not eating a breaded piece of chicken- I'm not ordered maple tots So the bare chicken - they season it with salt and pepper if you do not get a rub. Too much pepper for me and wasn't as moist as the hubbies breaded chicken. Now the beautiful thing - nothing is fried! They have a bunch of rub options and sauces. My husband had the habanero - it was fruity and had a great flavor. I ordered the buffalo and it was perfect. The guy brought us over - other sauces to try and they were all great! Their ranch is on point! My husband said "this will be a go to" I think I will go breaded next time as the juiciness of the chicken was perfect.

I am a huge fried chicken fan, so I was thrilled that Sneakybird delivered incredible crispiness and juiciness without the deep-fryer! This truly is excellent non-fried chicken--it absolutely does not disappoint. I didn't even have to ask, but I'm willing to bet those tater tots are baked, too. It felt great to enjoy such a delicious, guilt-free meal! The flavor options were fantastic, and the accompanying sauces provided the perfect added kick. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience and will definitely be back for more.

Second time. Delicious baked wings and tenders. Awesome service. Great atmosphere. A huge plus that they clean tables and keep the dining area tidy. Thank you!

Waited over almost 30 mins for this sandwich with no apology. I will never waste money coming back here. We never have this experience at the Scottsdale location!

This was my first time coming to sneaky bird. One of my friends recommended it to me so i decided to order maple tots, bread, 4 tenders, 2 lemon pepper , and 2 garlic parm. Both of flavors of the chicken tenders are dry rubs. The chicken wasn't greasy or oily, nor fatty. The lemon pepper tenders didn't have much lemon flavor but the pepper taste wasn't overpowering, honestly would have been good if there was a lemon slice on the side. It tasted well with the bread and a pickle. The garlic parm wasn't my favorite it was a little overpowering but it would have tasted perfect if I put it over some Alfredo noodles at home. The pickles. The pickles were so good I asked for a side of them before I left. Which they BLESSED me with. The pickles weren't to salty or loaded with vinegar they were crunchy and perfect. I honestly would go back just to get a bunch of pickles. The maple tots were ok in my opinion. I personally don't like warm sweets so the warm maple tasted off to me, I did finish them cold when I got home I won't lie. They have this coating of sugar in them that doesn't just fall off. The bread was also ok nothing special, it didn't have any butter it was sweet though so it had some flavor. Jojo and Cj welcomed me in with a smile and politely waited for me to look through the entire menu, while asking questions. Than took my order with a genuine smile and attitude. Not like a normal fast food welcome of a "hi hello may I take ur order...ok next" kind of attitude. The stuff made my experience seem like a genuine and sincere. I will be coming back not only for those pickles but to also try new flavors. I would also like to throw in they gave me a cool sticker.

Chicken Sandwich Meal
Destiney S.

Really disappointed on my second visit. The first one was so good that I came back again a week later. On my last visit, the woman taking my order was so friendly and this time, the employee seemed to want to just rush me as I ordered. I was barely able to finish my sentence when she was already asking me the next question. There was literally no one behind me! She rushed me so much that I forgot to order a cookie. She also just walked away from the register when it came to me paying and didn't come back. Guess I didn't need my receipt after all according to her. Just beyond rude and unfriendly. I ordered the garlic butter Parmesan as the rub for my chicken sandwich and I received an unflavored chicken. The chicken sandwich on its own isn't that good to have a missing flavor. Also, I received way less tots than the previous visit and they were undercooked. I waited over 15 minutes to receive this very unsatisfying meal. The only positive was the pepperoni flatbread. This was actually good. I don't know if I would get it often as $8+ seems a bit pricey just for a smallish flatbread pizza but the sauce was good and the cheese did that cheese pull. I received a text to give my opinion on my order which I did (same as above) and just received a generic response so the store doesn't seem to care too much.

Slider Tots

We tried the food based on the recommendation from a friend who lives locally. The service was knowledgeable and friendly. The front of the house staff were patient with us and answered all of our questions. The restaurant is modern and has a fun hip vibe. But the food is the real gem. I loved the tater tots! I could eat a bucket of them. The tenders were large and tasty. The chicken had a great rub. My friends had the sandwiches and sliders and they were super pleased. Definitely a great place for lunch or dinner. I can't believe it's not fried! I dove a place where you can choose your own sauces and rubs. Thanks Sneakybird for sneaking into my heart. We will always remember your salted molasses cookies.

Great food! The chicken tenders and sweet potatoes tots are yummy! Service is excellent as well. Owners are very friendly and staff!! Like watching basketball while eatin

Felicia W.

The service was great! The chicken tenders were hearty along with the dipping sauces. It's nice to see more establishments that have healthy menus. The vibe is very casual. The location is across from the soon to be Target.

We tried this and unfortunately the chicken was super dry. I have never had chicken tenders that dry before.

But what really makes this place special is their mission. They hire individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and actively invest in the community -- from vendor markets to hosting events like their upcoming 5K. You can feel that purpose woven into everything they do. We tried one of their themed drink flights (the Sweet Heart menu was adorable -- Love Potion, Love Struck, To The Moon & Back... so cute). The presentation in the little mason jars was fun and picture-worthy. Flavor-wise, they leaned sweeter than my personal preference, but still enjoyable and perfect if you love flavored lattes. They offer plenty of milk options, including non-dairy, which I appreciate. Bakery - vegan and gluten-free options clearly labeled. I grabbed the lemon scone (vegan + GF). It was good! I'm personally more of a vegan-but-not-gluten-free girl, so texture-wise it's not something I'd specifically crave again -- but I absolutely appreciate that they create inclusive options. My friend had the cinnamon roll and was happy. They also have a small retail section with mugs, shirts, local honey, and little gift items, which adds to the community feel. Overall, this isn't a hyper-trendy, third-wave coffee aesthetic spot -- it's something better. It's purpose-driven, inclusive, and clearly loved by the neighborhood. Not a five-star flavor experience for me personally, but an easy four stars for what they stand for and the impact they're making.
