    Not worth the money. Nothing about this place stood out. Bird Talk is tucked in the corner of a plaza, and the moment I pulled up, I should've trusted my instincts. The area was dirty, not well maintained, and had people hanging around outside. Walked in, and the place was empty except for the cashier. He wasn't rude, but he wasn't helpful either. A little more customer service would have been nice. I got the Nashville Hot Combo in mild spice. It comes with a side, and I chose fries. Drinks aren't included, which is honestly so annoying. The food came out quick, but it was nothing special. The sandwich was decent, but the fries were bland. I didn't even finish them. On top of that, the food left a bad aftertaste in my mouth, which made the whole experience even worse. Then came the real problem. My stomach started acting up, and I had to stop at the store for Pepto. For context, I DO NOT have a sensitive stomach at all. While I was at the store, my mom called to say she had made it home, only to immediately throw up. If TWO people have bad reactions after eating here, that's all you need to know. The food wasn't good enough to justify the risk, and honestly, I want my money back. I will not be back.

    Food has definitely gotten better! The Korean BBQ tenders were soooo good. I loved how hot and fresh it was. The service was quick, and the place was lonely, but clean! Definitely visit and say hey and get some free bird talk stickers.

    We had a night that we just wanted comfort food. Bird talk was what was randomly chosen and it was a definite hit. The Mac and cheese was amazing with the breaded chicken strips. We didn't visit this place as it would have been irresponsible to drive there considering the amount of delicious adult beverages we had consumed do the delivery was the option. The food arrived nice and quick and was even still very hot (had to let it cool a bit to consume it)! Since we didn't visit the location but seriously enjoyed the food I'm sure we will run by the place in the future just to check it out. Totally worth it!!!

    Ordered the honey butter combo with coleslaw and bird sauce. The sandwich was good, but it wasn't as sweet as I thought it was going to be because of the honey butter. They did not add a lot of sauce/honey butter on the sandwich. It was still tasty. I really like the coleslaw because it wasn't too wet. That makes any sense lol. More of a vinegar based coleslaw, which was really good to me. Because there was very little honey butter sauce on the sandwich the bird sauce came in clutch. Really enjoyed the taste of it. Not super spicy, just enough. Just use the kiosk to order, service was quick. restaurant was tucked away in a corner, but it was very clean.

    Great food and even better service. This was my first time eating here, but won't be my last. It is in the cut and hard to find, but a great find nonetheless

    Mouthwatering, crispy, and fiery chicken! Their Nashville hot chicken sandwich is 5/5! It's balanced with a touch of sweetness and spicy paste, served with pickles on a bread bun. It doesn't come with cheese so we added a slice of pepper jack and omg GAME CHANGER!!! Their sriracha aioli sauce was so good as well. It paired great with my sandwich. As for the classic sandwich, it was just okay to me. Service was quick and the wait wasn't long. The ambiance was clean and had a relaxed setting. Outdoor seating is always great too

    Came back in tonight, it was slow like last time we came in. 2 others were in the dining area with us but left us to ourselves shortly after we sat down. My girlfriend got the Mac and cheese like last time and it hit just as well this time, I decided to switch things up tonight though. I got the Nashville sandwich combo with the loaded tots again, both of which hit well. Only slight complaint is that the button bun of my sandwich was getting pretty soggy, although it didn't seem too greasy. I flipped it upside down and let the fluids flow to the top bun instead a bit. The Kool-Aid is always a good addition! My girl has leftovers to eat for work tomorrow, which I'm sure she's happy about. This place always smacks! Came here since Theos was sadly shut down tonight and we're glad we came back!

    The wings are so darn good! The chicken sandwich is a nice portion and so crispy and juicy. Careful with that first bite! I love the crispness of the fries and their ranch dressing. Okay, I love everything! A must try! Dining room is limited seating. Fast friendly service and piping hot food!

    You don't need to be as wise as an owl to know that the bird is the word! Even the bird-brained wouldn't be able to pass up the discount for this restaurant by showing a receipt from neighbor Mochi Fresh. The special bird of the day for us were the chicken nuggets. We got an order to go with the house-made honey mustard sauce. Since every item is made to order it was a small wait for the nuggets but it wasn't too bad and it gave us time to admire the cool and hilarious chicken themed art on the walls. The nuggets came with fries and were well packaged in separate paper trays that were then placed in a large Styrofoam box. While the packaging was secure it did make the food a little steamed rather than crispy by the time we got home but it was still a pretty cluckin' good meal. The breading on the chicken was nice, and the chicken looked like it was prepared by hand since there were various sizes to these chicken chunks . The meat itself was tender. I also liked the honey mustard sauce to dip the nuggets in. So if you feel like Cibo Matto in the sense that you got to Know Your Chicken, this is a good option to indulge in your culinary penchant for poultry.

    "At Bird Talk Chicken, the chicken speaks for itself." That's the motto of this cool Cali-based fast casual concept. Bird Talk made their debut here in Tempe in 2023 and specializes in Nashville hot chicken. These guys have a menu that features various forms of chicken like chicken tenders, fried chicken, grilled chicken and wings. All types of chicken are on the menu here at Bird Talk. They also have a selection of sauces for your chicken so that you can make things as spicy and flavorful as you want. I came by here one afternoon for lunch. I am all about the sides and they have a number of them to choose from. I ordered the fried pickles and some wings to start things off. Then I ordered The Nashville with some mac and cheese. The sandwich was pretty good, but I thought the mac and cheese was the real highlight. I am a big mac and cheese guy and love it when it is really cheesy and creamy. Nashville Hot Chicken is a big thing these days and these concepts have been popping up all over the Valley. I personally don't mind having several options to choose from. Bird Talk is a solid choice.

    Hi The Honey Butter Sandwich Combo .... Was DELICIOUS
    Chris H.

    I finally tried this place after hearing so much about it. The location is small but there is enough space to sit and enjoy your delicious chicken sandwich. I walked in and ordered the Honey Butter! WOW! The chicken was juicy and cooked just right! The honey butter sauce was amazing! I was on the fence about trying to Kool-aid! The attendant said Merry Christmas and gave me one, insisting I wouldn't be disappointed... she was right!!! I HIGHLY recommend going to Bird Talk And trying the chicken sandwiches and don't miss out on that red Kool-aid... taste like "Peanut" made it!! IYKYK!!!

    Always great service and awesome food. The Nashville hot definitely has some spice to it and the fries are always great. Good spot for a quick delicious lunch.

    Overpriced
    Jessie Z.

    It's decent. The coleslaw isn't sloppy with overdressed mayo, so that's a positive! Quality of chicken was subpar, unfortunately. Look at my pics and u can see proof of how THIN and (I cant emphasize enough) how TOUGH the meat presents itself. I totally get that u can't always have a spectacular-juicy piece of meat, but when literally that is ALL your restaurant serves, is chicken, then maybe, just maybe, focus on a great piece of breast? Idk, but either way, they need a new meat supplier, are in need of chef who understands not serving quality foods, or stop price gauging at $15 for this? Too bad b/c the flavor is there. I just can't give it more than 3 stars when literally the entire shtick here is chicken! Mac and Cheese was spot on. Had a bit of tasty spice in it, so beware of ordering it for kiddos who are picky. I enjoyed the Mac the best. This is a chain restaurant that proves itself as one. Imo, Hot Chicken Alley in PV is the gold metal and worth the drive. Go find out realness with a side of friendly service and an owner who knows quality chx!

If you're looking for perfectly fried comfort food, I highly recommend giving this place a try. I ordered the Chicken & Fried Shrimp Basket with the standard fries. I could have chosen coleslaw instead, and in hindsight I probably should have since I'm not much of a fry person. But the real star here is the fried food. Both the chicken and shrimp were cooked perfectly--crispy, golden, and packed with crunch in every bite without being greasy. I'm also a huge sauce fan, so I had to sample a few. I tried the ranch, garlic Parmesan, and Nad's Sauce. The clear winner for me was the garlic Parmesan. It was absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with both the chicken and the shrimp. The service was just as impressive as the food. The staff was incredibly friendly, took the time to walk us through the menu, and checked on us several times throughout our meal. Since you order at the counter and then find a seat, that extra attention really stood out and made us feel welcome. Great food, great service, and a place I'll definitely be coming back to!

Both of my fish were cooked perfectly and I like the nice crunch to them when I first bit in, both fish were extremely juicy. I do wish that she told me the catfish was going to have a stronger fish taste to it though , I guess they told my brother that when he came in last. I typically don't mind the fishier catfish taste, as I grew up eating catfish, but I will say theirs is a bit stronger than I typically like. Swai was bomb though. I do enjoy the fact that they season the fish after it being fried as well, I think that's a great touch. The shrimp that came with my combo was well battered and seasoned but I personally expected a larger size shrimp, and they were smaller. No worries though. Oh we also really enjoyed the shape of their fries that came with the lunch basket it was interesting. My spouse said he enjoyed the Wings which were pretty generous in size, but he wished he would have gotten them dried instead of wet. He thought the sauce was a bit much. Whatever that means lol All in all great fish and chips, killer music and nice atmosphere.

After deciding on fried chicken, instead of traditional wings, it took way too long to place an order despite 5 employees (not sure if they were actually employees, it just seemed like 5 people running a co op and hanging out or something) being near us. As we were waiting for our food, we glanced around and saw many odd things like a filing cabinet used to store chopsticks and other items. We wanted to sit at the bar but half of it was taken by employees, boxes of shoes, really random items. After about 15 minutes the chicken came out. No sign of the ranch that we requested, but at least we had food. After looking at the chicken, it became apparent that they had brought us wings. I asked the employee if they had made a mistake, but he let me know that their fried chicken is all wings, despite the word "wings" never appearing on the menu in the fried chicken section. The saving grace here is that the chicken WINGS were quite tasty. The breading was crispy and the sauces were good. I could see how this would get soggy for takeout, so I recommend dining in for fried chicken WINGS. Overall, super weird place but the chicken WINGS are good.

From the outside, the place doesn't look like much, tucked away in a small shopping center. Once inside, there are a plentiful number of tables in the smallish restaurant, which does not feel at all cramped. It is tastefully decorated, and you order at a counter, and they will either call you to get your food or bring it out to you. On the day we were there, the owner was behind the counter and took our order. He asked if we had been there before, and since I had not, he took the time to explain the menu to me. They focus nearly exclusively on chicken tenders, and we opted to share The Three Tenders, which comes with...you guessed it...three chicken tenders (with your choice of heat level), three warmed tortillas, pickles, and alley sauce (the house dipping sauce) on the side. We added sides of French fries and Cole slaw, and the owner gave me a free fountain drink since it was my first time there. So nice! We grabbed a high-top table, and once the food came out, and I bit into the first tender, I knew I was eating the best chicken tenders I have ever eaten. Seriously.
