    Patio
    Austin S.

    Been trying to write this review for ages. In any case, thank you. Thank you. Oh, and thank you. Because ST LOUIS HAS A GOSH DANG FIRE NASHVILLE CHICKEN SANDWICH. This thing was absolutely beautiful. Perfect blend of spice, smoky, and complex. A masterclass. Dont even get me started on the tacos. Imagine going to jack in the box sober and the tacos are made with love, not frozen for 6 months. Bursting with beef, crispy shells, and a tangy ranch sauce to make em about as addicting as something can be before getting listed as illegal. Vibes are great inside tamm ave. Folks bringing dogs, patio soaking the sun. Come get you some chicken and a beer!

    Philly cheese steak special
    Brittany M.

    I saw they were having a Philly cheesesteak special. I made sure to call before I went to make sure they had it today. Then I called back to order so it would be ready once I arrived. The Man at the counter was the same person who took my order over the phone. He was extremely nice and exceeded our expectations. Shortly after we arrived our food was ready. He made sure to put a fork and napkins in the bag. I love not having to ask for basic items. Then we sat outside to eat. The Philly cheesesteak was very flavorful with Citizen Kanes flavored ribeye. I was worried about the sesame seeds in the bread. But the bread was perfect thickness, toast, and size. I wish the meat was more tender as I did struggle a bit trying break the meat up. It was still really good and I hope this becomes a permanent item on their menu.

    Chicken, Provel Sauce, Red Hot Riplets, Grilled Onions
    Jennifer C.

    It's a no for me... just not feeling the flavor profiles, but you go ahead and try it. The ToTs..yes, crispy and definitely an original play on traditional tots, but the consistency is something you need to adjust to. The ranch dressing was good. Sandwich, I went with the Chicken, Provel Sauce, Red Hot Riplets and Grilled onions one. Uummm, the grilled onions threw this whole flavor off and the provel sauce lacked flavor/seasoning. I ate 3 tots and a 1/4 of the sandwich. That's all I could do. Service was fine and the dining space was clean and open, the air conditioning was definitely on blast. Like I said, check it out for yourself.

    Cauliflower

    I really loved my food here. Came in with a large group for an after work happy hour and ordered some drinks at Tamm Ave. we got the cauliflower for the table and it was delish! I got the Nashville Hot Sandwich with fries! The meet was juicy, flavorful and definately packed a punch. The service was great and the person who took our order was so funny! Great food, vibe and service

    Poutine and dark meat nugs
    Julia M.

    Absolutely delicious!! The chicken was SO good. We got the dark meat nuggets, poutine, mac and cheese, wings, and the mother clucker sandwich. All were so delicious and piping hot. The chicken was so crispy and juicy and flavorful. Love the option of white or dark meat. The food came out pretty fast with how busy they were and the guy taking orders was very friendly. It's located inside Tamm Ave bar and we decided to go on the first Mizzou game day of the season so it was PACKED. We couldn't even get to the back patio. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves back there tho. We sat out front and it was lovely. Parking was easy. Can't wait to go back!

    Awwwww man!!! When I heard Byrd & Barrel was making a return I was beyond stoked. Triumphant return to the city, and it was nothing short of amazing! Chef Bob really outdid himself with the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. The chicken was perfectly crispy and packed with just the right amount of heat, all served on a soft, pillowy brioche bun that complemented the flavors beautifully. I couldn't resist trying the special of the day, which was the chicken and crawfish gumbo! The gumbo was rich and hearty, with tender pieces of chicken and succulent crawfish, all swimming in a flavorful, well-seasoned broth. It was comfort food at its finest. Byrd & Barrel has definitely made a stellar comeback, and I can't wait to go back and try more of their mouthwatering dishes. If you're a fan of great chicken and bold flavors, this place is a must-visit!

    No complaints. Quick and simple service. I loved the cauliflower!! Fries were great too. My boyfriend liked his chicken sandwich, Mother Clucker, he didn't love it. We will definitely return!

    The KCWoedy!!!!!
    Ken B.

    Unbelievable, met with Cody today to create a new Moniker in the STL sandwich scene. Presenting the KCWoedy!!! A double dipped Nashville Hot covered in jalapeños and fresh made iceberg slaw. Named after Ken, Cody and Wayne. It was unbelievably good. Thank you Cody, that was Epic!!!!!

    I was visiting Tamm Avenue Bar for the Love Island Reunion so I wanted a nearby place for a bite. It's literally conjoined with T.A.B. So I walked over and placed the order for my friend and I. I ordered the Sunday Sandwich with fries for myself and the poutine with mushroom gravy for my friend. They give you a table number and bring the food directly to you once it's ready. I don't know if it's because I didn't have any sauce on my burger but it was like eating a Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwich with only some of the love. It needed sauce and I am not sure why it doesn't come with any. The pickles were on point and was giving "we just made these pickles in house" vibes. The fries were fries and my friend enjoyed her poutine. If I order that sandwich again, I am asking for sauce of some sort. I don't care if it's pickle juice or something! All that brioche bread and thick chicken with no sauce was sadness.

    Mac and cheese and Nashville hot chicken, both delicious
    Julia B.

    Food was delicious! I got the Nashville hot chicken and the Mac and cheese. The sandwich was delicious! The spice was a touch bitter but overall I loved the sandwich! Mac and cheese was amazing great complex flavor! Service was kind and fast! Ambiance was casual.

    Nashville hot sandwich and riplet mac
    Haley S.

    We have been really excited for the return of Byrd and Barrel we used to frequent the original location on Jefferson. We ordered quickly on a Friday night and dined in. I got the Nashville hot sandwich which had good flavor but wasn't spicy as I expected. The Mac and cheese side was tasty. We also got the mother clucker which was the better sandwich of the two. We also brought home some nugs which were as good as I had remembered!

    Mother Clucker
    Michelle L.

    I'm in town for a few days and this came up on my radar as a place to try. The menu is pretty straight forward. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. There are two seating options, a small dining room or the bar next door that is connected through the dining room. I love a good breaded chicken sandwich and this one hit the spot. The onions with the chips and the fried chicken are the perfect combo. Wish there was a location closer to Chicago.

    JITB-style tacos
    JoJo P.

    Jack in the Box-styled tacos? Grown up chicken nuggies? A retired college kid's dream. Within the historic Dogtown neighborhood and across from the Zoo and Forest Park, Byrd and Barrel offers a great menu (ft. nugs, tacos, sandwiches, cauliflower bites, and poutine) for to-go park picnics or or a quick bite with a pint. The style and aesthetic fits that of brother business, Tamm Avenue, with the quirky, colourful wall art and the service is friendly and gritty just like the blue collar, Irish-American neighborhood it inhabits. Walk thru over to Tamm Avenue bar and enjoy the hidden patio in the back, decorated with TVs and games within the garage.

It is also nice they offer half's and full sandwiches so you can try multiple half sandwiches! I've tried the Mississippi River, Phil and cheds, and the Alcatraz. The Alcatraz was far my favorite one. The Mississippi River was good too. They also have a back patio that's dog friendly! I cant wait to come back and visit and try more!

    WOULD recommend (general). Stopped by late morning for a quick bite, I have been here a few times…read morebefore but never actually ordered anything but its location is pretty good, right in the heart of the grove. There wasn't that much line when I went, they take your other at the kiosk by the bar. They have a large assortment of sandwiches, comes in whole OR half (which is half the price of a whole). I ordered 2 half sandwiches, "The Meatball" and "The Steak Out". It didn't take long at all to make my sandwiches and they also have options to customize specialty sandwiches if specific toppings are wanted. The Steak Out was the 1st sandwich tried, and was the best one out of the two. The steak was cooked medium rare but isn't too rare at all or overcooked past that if you are worried about that either. Not only that, but the jalapenos and the pepper mayo are to die for, and they didn't completely soak it in sauce (which is a common concern as well). Everything tastes so freshly made, with half a sandwich honestly being more than enough for 1 sitting. Overall rating 8.9/10. The Meatball was very good as well, meatballs were cooked well throughout and tender to the bite. I am not completely mad at the Baguette being the bread of choice but they couldn't have went wrong with ciabatta neither. It was a very solid sandwich, nothing too extraordinary but nothing I can really complain about neither. Overall rating 8.3/10. In past visits, I have also tried the Enzo Gorlomi (basically a spicy italian) which I thought was better than both sandwiches I tried during that visit, but I may be biased because I love spicy italian sandwiches. Should still try though in my opinion. All in all, I would definitely come back to this place when I'm in the area, pricing is pretty good for the food amount and quality you are getting. Vibes are cool in there, they seem like a business with a lot of experience doing what they do. I wouldn't say they are the absolute best in St. Louis... yet, but they are definitely up there for sure. They are also open until 1:30AM Tues - Sat so its a great late night option.

I will say that it was delicious and a very good size for the price of the sandwich. I did like his house made bread and his Italian salsa verde was on point too. No ambiance to this place at all. Was a tiny lil corner store turned into this lil deli and judging by the foot traffic while I was waiting, most are stopping in to grab a sandwich to go. Only a few small bar seats in the place and a couple of picnic tables outside. Definitely worth the visit and I could see this place really doing great if managed properly. I would go back for that porchetta!

The staff were friendly and very accommodating to adding or removing ingredients from sandwiches. I had Joes Italian Kicker with the homemade artichoke salad. The artichoke salad was so good. The dressing was sweet but not overly so. I am not a fan of sweet Italian so for me to actually like this item kind of amazed me but it truly was good. I did not get the tomato sauce on my sandwich, and it was far from what I had convinced myself it was supposed to be lol. I am not a fan of brats and sausages and such but I do like salami. I convinced myself that it was going to be sliced garlic and red wine salami and well that wasn't what I got but I do like to try different things so I wasn't disappointed. The sausage was amazing. So flavorful and enjoyable... again a surprise because as I said, I am not a fan of this type of sausage. Now the giardeneria, it is delicious but it says hot for a reason. It was a little too hot for me but once I removed a bit I could grab little bites with my sandwich and it was less of a mouth burning experience. The cheese and cheese garlic bread the sandwich comes with is absolutely a flavor bonus. overall this was a great meal and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Now my dining partner got meatballs and pasta salad. While she wasn't a fan of the meatballs to the point where she raves, she did say they were good just not great! However she did very much like the pasta salad. She only wished there had been less black olives. Lastly, we did ask for to go boxes for our salad Because the portion was extremely generous and we couldn't eat all of either... we started to get up to go get the containers and a staff member saw us rising and took care of getting the containers for us which was very sweet. I would like to say that a lidded bowl would be better for salads because all the dressing leaked out of the styrofoam box but that was really the only disappointment.

The restaurant itself has sticky floors (which I've tried to avoid after I turned 30) and is a bit of a mess. There's a towel sitting under the big jug of water. It's just not clean or easy to be in. I saw the pics when you guys were a food truck. I know you were making incredible stuff. The gal at the front was friendly enough, but all in all this was a bull*hit experience considering the potential. The restaurants that are consistently good have the owners/head chef watching, caring, and making sure their workers deliver the experience that was intended. I have no doubt if someone who really cared showed up this place would be all I was hoping.
