To start, it's not southern fried chicken, it's breaded chicken like at Maddox. The tenders and the nuggets were good white meat and cooked well. I had the fries and my wife had the coleslaw. the fries were hot but a bit undercooked on the inside. I did ask the kid at the register (glasses and a beard, he didn't have a name tag) if it was possible to get my fries extra crispy and he flat out said no. I guess he thought he was the manager. The coleslaw tasted okay but was very soupy. Also, if you want salt, bring your own because they don't have any, seriously, none! I tried the country gravy and this is where the salt was really needed!!! the bbq sauce and the honey mustard was about like any other. BTW, save yourself $3 and get the 6 piece nugget instead of the 3 piece tenders. you get about the same amount of chicken. Bottom line is that the chicken was good but the customer service failed. Hopefully you'll have a better experienc. read more

My family and I stopped in here after a recent visit to Antelope island when most, if not all, restaurants were only offering takeout due to Covid-19. We ordered the family feast and given the number of walk ins and orders going out, we expected to wait a long time. Our wait was only about 5-10 minutes, which wasn't bad at all given the circumstances. At the time of our visit, the family feast was $27, rather than the $25 shown in other photos. The chicken tenders were good - nice crumb breading; tender and moist with good flavor. The mashed potatoes and gravy were decent but lacked salt. Dipping the chicken into the gravy remedied that issue nicely. For our second side, we chose the mac and cheese, which looked very average, but tasted great. The cheese was very creamy, not watery or bitter, and had great flavor. The meal also comes with 6 corn dodgers that had just slightly crispy edges - were they possibly baked in cast iron?!?! They weren't super buttery, but they were good. Overall I would say it was a pretty good value. The family feast fed 3 hungry adults with a little to spare, so I would say it feeds 3-5 depending on how hungry you are & maybe more if you're feeding kiddos. None of us had our socks knocked off, but everything satisfied, and did it at a fair price. I will stop in again when this pandemic is over. Be safe everyone. read more

This place is fantastic! The chicken is always perfect and all the sides we have tried are delicious. Way better then any of the larger chain chicken places! read more

We just discovered this hidden jewel well.. hidden from us anyway. Love their chicken and mashed potatoes and gravy. Their cornbread with yummy honey or strawberry butter is wonderful too. It's not really close to us so, we make a point of stopping by when we're in the area and order enough for a couple of meals. read more

After reading the positive reviews of The Bird on Yelp, I was honestly expecting more. Chicken tenders were average, very average. For a restaurant that specifically specializing in chicken tenders I would have expected fantastic chicken. Even great chicken would have sufficed. Instead The Bird served up lightly breaded chicken tender without much flavor. Sauce selection was good but charging 50 cents per sauce seemed unnecessary. Mac and cheese was okay. Cornbread and raspberry butter was okay. There was nothing outstanding about The Bird and I wouldn't recommend it. Chick-fil-A serves up much better, much tastier fried chicken tenders and sandwiches. read more

Wasn't a big fan. Small menu, very expensive for some chicken tenders. One of the cooks in the back stood there and ate French fries the whole time with her gloves on. It's small, trash was over filed, tables weren't wiped but they didn't seem busy. Chicken batter is OK! It's good just no WOW factor. The coleslaw was purple, they used the red cabbage and it made it taste like it too. read more

Very very soggy chicken, the breading on the outside had little no no crispiness. The service was great! The restaurant itself is a newer chic chick-fil-a competitor with a new age styled eating area. read more

The Bird is the word! My husband and I live in California, but visit my family nearby The Bird frequently and were finally able to give this place a try! I got the chicken tenders and really liked them with the ranch dip. Fries were yummy with the fry sauce! My husband got their new chicken sandwich (not in the menu yet) and LOVED IT- He is Chick-Fil-A's biggest fan and said that they're sandwich was just about as good! Definitely stop in to give it a try! read more

We love The Bird and frequent often. Perfect for those nights when you don't feel like cooking and need quick service. Our little one is a picky eater and he clears his plate every time. read more

One of the best chicken places around. My kids would rather go here than Chick-fil-A. The pies are also amazing. If they have the fresh strawberry pie get it. read more

Loved the bowl! Comfort food at its best! The potatoes and gravy had great texture and flavor.

Wow! We ordered catering for 50 people for my son's 10th birthday party. That was a lot of food! Tenders, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, mac and cheese, cornbread, and sauces. The food was excellent, ordering was simple and the price was reasonable. Everything tasted fantastic and everyone loved it. Thanks for helping to make my son's birthday The Best Day Ever! read more

I love chicken tenders so I was eager to try this when I saw it pop up on yelp as a new restaurant. The outside is in a strip mall between a couple other stores. Inside is simple with a small bar for seating and a 4 person table. They also have a wall for drinks, sauces, and utensils. I was greeted warmly by the cashier and asked if I'd been in before and I said no. She explained it is all a la carte. I asked her what the Tender on a bun was and it is one tender on a slider bun. I decided to get 3 tenders, a regular mashed potatoes and gravy, and a large soda. Total price was 8.75. I like that tax is included in the price. The place was a bit dirty. The floor had a lot of garbage and spilled items on it. It was not busy at the time I was there but they may have been before I arrived for a late lunch (1:15 PM). The table I sat at was also dirty and the garbage was overflowing but they soon changed it while I was there. My food arrived within 5 minutes and the tenders were a bit small. The tenders looked good and appeared to have a lot of seasonings on them. The breading on the tenders were more like a chick fil a tender rather than a tender you would buy at the gas station. They were not the crispy type of tender but very moist and had a good flavor. I think chick-fil-a are a bit better than these though. The mashed potatoes were really good. I think I could have just eaten the potatoes on their own. They looked and tasted homemade. The gravy tasted like country gravy and was ok but the star of the two were definitely the potatoes. They gave me two cups for dipping sauce for the tenders so I went with honey mustard and bbq. I liked both of them. I did take by container over and tried the fry sauce and the honey butter and they both were good too. Overall pretty good chicken tenders. I think the family meal deal is the best value. I did hear the lady at the counter tell another customer that their target customer is one that is on the go so that is why they only have a few places to sit. Think of Little Caesars but for chicken. Service is fast and all the staff I interacted with were very friendly. I'll come here again when I'm in the mood for tenders. read more

The chicken sandwich was okay but it's definitely not worth $7.00 for just the sandwich. I'd say this place probably would thrive a lot more if they weren't so expensive. read more

Chicken is delicious. Family meal was a great deal and easily fed our family of four. Would highly recommend!

The staff was really friendly and the food was good. It is locally owned and operated. I got the two-finger lunch special that comes with two fingers, fries and a drink and originally I thought it would be too small but they give you plenty of food. The chicken is hand battered in house and was really tasty. The fries were crispy and good. A great place to go on your way home from Antelope Island! read more

The Bird - Here is the two finger combo. They have a lot of sauces to choose from too. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Syracuse, Utah

Had The Bird for lunch today and all I can say is WOW!! We ordered Tenders, Mac and Cheese, Cornpones with raspberry butter and a salad! Way too much food for just two people, but the tenders were juicy and flavorful, the Mac was creamy, and I think this is the first place that I haven't had to add salt to a Mac and cheese, so it was seasoned perfectly, and don't even get me started in the cornpones and raspberry butter ! It was amazing! I don't think we will go to KFC ever again, this was 1000 times better!! The restaurant was really clean, organized, bright and the employees are really attentive and kind. Great experience! read more

My mom and I drove all the way up from SLC to eat at this restaurant that my friend had ranted and raved about. When entering the store, we were disappointed that there was nowhere to sit and eat. As we went to order, we were greeted with no enthusiasm and excitement that we were even there. My chicken sandwich was undercooked and raw. We will not be returning. read more

Can I just say how epic & amazing this place is!!! Gave them a try thru DoorDash because we wanted to try something new, and we're getting bored with the usual. Our entire family was BLOWN AWAY!! SO MUCH BETTER than that other "chicken dinner" chain. Their potatoes and gravy is ABSOLUTELY amazing!!! We have a child that doesn't like potatoes & gravy, but once she tried here, now it's her favorite! The seasoning and batter on their chicken is delicious! The cornbread & whipped raspberry butter...EXPLOSION OF THE TASTE BUDS!!! The prices too, are almost unbelievable!!! We now order from them every other week atleast!! GREAT VALUE, GREAT FOOD, and GREAT SERVICE, & FRESH INGREDIENTS!!! I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE ENOUGH!!!! read more

Fantastic chicken! Pro tip: get the family dinner and save leftovers for lunch the next day! The Bird two days in a row! And its just as good the second day. You're welcome. Super fast food without the fast food. Large selection of sauces and all at a great price. Go now, you'll thank me later. read more

I had seen a lot of good reviews of this place so we decided to give it a try. We were underwhelmed. Their menu pretty much just consists of chicken tenders and sides. My husband had the chicken tenders with coleslaw and mac and cheese and I had the mashed potato bowl. The food really just tasted like KFC food to us. The mashed potato bowl could be seriously upgraded by using a home made country gravy instead of one made from a packet. Fast food - nothing special here. If you want to help out the little guy then go here. Their prices are very reasonable. read more

We hadn't eaten there since they opened, it was just ok at that time. We decided to try it again and were disappointed. We had it delivered. The chicken is so-so, the potatoes and gravy were good, but our salad was very disappointing. We threw it away because most of the lettuce was brown or wilted. I knew it was probably going to be cheap salad mix, which it was, but it looked like it was a week old. It wasn't worth the $40 we paid. We won't be going back. read more

The chicken strips are fresh and crispy. The Mac and cheese was so-so. Seems like a good value based on the pricing. The bad: ALOT of wasted packaging. We ate in store and were each given styrofoam containers and a plastic bag. Also, little plastic condiment cups for each sauce. No opportunity to recycle any of it. Everything went right into the trash. read more

Stop in with the family for dinner. We didn't realize it until after we left but we arrived there only about 20 minutes before they were closing. Seems like it's main set up as a to-establishment, but they do have a few tables for dine on. We had the family feast with chicken chunks, fries, mac n cheese and the cornpones. Everything came out quickly and hot. The chunks were tasty. We liked the ample selection of dipping sauces. The ones we tried were good on flavor. The fries arrived hot and fresh and tasted great. The mac n cheese was just ok. Tasted kind of bland and mushy. We liked the cornpones, but loved the raspberry butter. We will come back. read more

Great chicken. I love all the sauce choices. All the sides I've tried are good. They give tons of fries with each order.

Amazing!!!! We heard about a family deal on Mondays, chicken strips and two sides, and four little pies, for $30, so decided to give it a try. In the first place, the service was perfect! Everyone we spoke to was so nice, and I think we probably had contact with everyone working at the time. We were thanked for coming in by at least two people, and our food came out fast, and fresh. The chicken was to die for!! It is juicy, full of flavor, and so tender! We got fries, and mashed potatoes and gravy as sides, and they were huge portions. The fries were really yummy, and the mashed potatoes didn't taste like the typical fast food (from a box) potatoes. The gravy is bliss! The corn bread was okay, but add the raspberry butter, and I am a big fan. The pies were tiny, which was perfect since we were beyond stuffed. We ended up leaving with two big plastic bags full of left overs, after three of us ate our hearts out. I highly recommend it! read more

Came here on 7/28 after seeing a lot of great reviews on social media and it definitely didn't live up to the expectation. The kids working there didn't offer any suggestions when we told them it was our first time. They also stared at another lady for literally 5 mins while she tried to figure out the menu instead of explaining things to her. The food came out fairly fast but like another review said there was excessive and wasteful packaging. The chicken had a nice crispy coating but was super dry inside. The mashed potatoes tasted old and the sauces were just ok. You can get better chicken and better service at chick-fil-a. read more

I thought it was good. My husband felt it was a little over priced for what we got. Their strawberry lemonade is very good. We also got a couple of pies for dessert, and thought those were good too. read more

The Bird catered my husband's work party. It was great food! They included utensils for serving and delivered on time. Well done!

Great chicken tenders and bites. The chicken is lightly coated in a seasoned cornmeal flour, the lightness of the coating allows the chicken to be the star. They offer a large selection of quality dipping sauces to go with your chicken allowing you to customize the flavor to your liking. Their menu is very basic, chicken tenders, bites or a sandwich, that is it for the entree selection. They have 6 sides to choose from, fries, mashed potatoes with white gravy, mac & cheese, veg, coleslaw or salad. And for the bread component, they have awesome cornpones with raspberry and/or honey butter. Everything is available a la carte, if you are looking to feed a few people you can opt for the Family Feast with 10 tenders (or 30 bites), two large sides, and a 1/2 dozen cornpones. The bird is simplicity at its best. A simple menu featuring quality tasty food at a reasonable price served hot and fresh. read more

We are normally not big fans of tenders but the bird's tenders were surprisingsly juicy! It was a perfect comfort meal after visiting antelope state park. Both adults and kids were satisfied. read more

Great food and excellent service. The bowls are amazing, the market salad is delicious, and the raspberry cream pie is my favorite!

Just okay chicken. It was clean, the employees were polite, but the chicken wasn't anything special. The quantity of okay chicken you receive for your money had me upset. I don't mind paying good money for food if the portions and flavor are good. But here the portions suck and the flavor is mediocre. We're really trying to support small businesses right now, but we won't be back. read more

This was my first time here. Food was super fresh. Chicken was seasoned deliciously. Staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely coming back soon! read more

The Bird, part of the Madoxx family established businesses Their Chicken is always great.

I came here on a recommendation. Thoroughly disappointed. The chicken was soggy. Sauces were lackluster. Price wasn't too bad, expensive considering this school lunch room style floppy chicken tender nonse Since I can't put zero stars I'll chalk the one star up to their fries which were pretty good. read more

Nothing Special Just ok Chicken Tenders. They kinda taste like a version of Wendy's chicken nuggets. Probably won't go back.

It was GREAT. I love supporting local so I knew we had to try this. It's very minimal inside which was totally fine since we were taking the order to go. We ordered the Family Feast and got half tenders and half bites. The food came out before we had even finished getting our sauces (he gave us 7 cups, but they are usually 50c each cup). The sides we got were fries and mac n cheese. My 6 year old was begging for the mac n cheese while we were getting in the car. It smelled amazing. The fries sat on my counter for about 10 minutes and silly me kept the lid closed so they wouldn't get cold but by then they were a little soggy. Still very good, kiddo kept saying over and over how great the fries were. Also was not expecting how many fries we would get, it was quite a lot. The sauces were really good, my favorite being the ranch. We have tons of leftovers (it was SO MUCH FOOD for just 2 adults and a 6 year old haha) that I'm sure will reheat great tomorrow. Definitely give this place a try!! read more

3.5 stars. Pretty good food and for a reasonable price too but as a regular customer I've learned that every and I mean every time they manage to mess the order up in some way. I've gotten wrong sides, no sauce, missing sauce, the wrong sauce, and frequently forgotten drinks. They never give you silverware unless you ask either, it's the first thing I look for before going to walk away from the counter. Overall great food and a friendly (also forgetful) staff come here frequently. read more
