Great chicken sandwich can wait to try a little bit more spicy. Service was fast but not fast food, if you know what I mean. It was clean and can seat about 20 people total. Tables for 2 or 4 which is nice. Will definitely go back. Just watch your street parking, make sure it's not a LOADING ZONE, that looks like a parking space.

Stopped in mid afternoon on a Friday-perfect time to beat the rush. Didn't realize the one side is for take out/pick-up (until we saw the signs on the doors) and the other door we went into was a bar with tables. No one was in there except the bar tender/waitperson but he immediately greeted us and let us know how to order-directly to him. Anyway-it's a rather dark, trendy bar/restaurant area with corrugated steel on the walls (former steelworker here lol). I ordered the chicken sandwich with "No Heat" and my wife ordered hers with #1 heat level (waitperson told us it's basically a Cajun spice). We also made it a combo with the waffle fries and a soft drink. The chicken-according to my wife-is "to die for! Perfectly cooked with none of those grisley, chewy tendon surprises you get elsewhere--you know--you're chowing down on the chicken loving every bite then-bam! A yucky, chewy, disgusting piece of tendon--then-you're done! Nope-this chicken is properly cleaned and prepared. I'd recommend getting at least the #1 spice level because otherwise, the plain is just, PLAIN. But the crunch on that chicken is awesome. The waffle fries are crispy, golden, hot and plentiful. We were stuffed! We also shared a cup of coleslaw but since my wife makes "the best"--well skip it next time. We will definitely return for the best fried chicken we've had in a long time. The waitperson was very nice, helpful and attentive. Restaurant is clean and neat-restroom was also clean which tells you a lot about the rest of the place! Great job Bird On The Run--you've got a winner there!

Really good chicken nuggets and fries! My husband loved his level 4 spicy chicken sandwich as well. An employee was ready to take our order at the counter and then we seated ourselves in their quaint dining area. Turner's tea and lemonade is a plus and if you're in a drinking mood, they have alcoholic slushies for sale!

I'm writing this as my nose is dripping haha. I got the spice level 4 and it IS spicy. And i can handle a good amount of spice. Love it. Great taste. Good chicken, nice and juicy. Recommend!

I was working nearby and was looking for lunch in the area in between appointments. I ordered online so I could expedite my plans. The online ordering platform is simple and gave me a surprisingly long estimated pick up time (well over 30 minutes), particularly as I was ordering at the tail end of the lunch hour. I decided to arrive within 15-20 minutes and sure enough it was ready. I decided to eat there before for my next appointment. I ordered a hot (#2 heat) sandwich with fries combo. The sandwich was breaded well, with good crispness. I could have gone higher with the heat levels as it was mild at best (good to know for next time). They were fairly liberal with pickles, something to be mindful of. The waffle fries were crispy and well seasoned. The downside was the fries were cold, suggesting my order was ready earlier. It's a lot of food as the sandwich is on the larger side. Overall, solid spot to try.
