Birdie's Blackened Unicorn - Perfection on a Plate…read more I loved this dish! The fish get their name from a distinctive horn or spike protuberance on their head. You don't see this because the fish is now a filet. The meat has a firm yet flaky texture that is mild, slightly sweet with a clean taste. Think of it like a cross between snapper and mahi mahi. It comes lightly blackened but you can request different when ordering. The garnish is a topper of spiraled fried carrot and a tablespoon of avocado salsa. It has the flavors of guacamole but more of a texture similar to a chunky salsa. I could have used a little (lot) more. It's yummy and a good foil for the blackening spices. The rice is served plain. If you don't care for bare rice, ask for a gravy or a sauce when ordering. All in all, an excellent dish! So, when you come here, do look for UNICORNS! They are delicious! -

The first time, my husband had the smash burger and fries and my son had the same thing but the children's portion. Both raved about their meal. I had the mushroom steak burger bowl, it was delicious sitting atop white rice with brown gravy and green beans. The next time, both husband and son ordered the same thing and I switched it up to try the meatloaf stacker, wow! Once again, the meal was delicious and paired it with the corn casserole. I can't rave about this place enough. We ended the meal with homemade strawberry cake, another winner!! The service is wonderful, everyone is attentive and wants to make sure you're taken care of. Waters refilled, which is a rarity these days and food was served prompt. Although small, Birdies is mighty with flavor, service and cute decor! From the cuckoo clocks on the wall to the bird theme throughout, it's definitely welcoming and cozy and not that sterile vibe you get from some establishments. We can't wait to go back and now look forward to our weekly ritual, dinner at Birdies!

It's located in Durbin off of US1 in a new construction area. I almost missed it from the street. The inside is Pink & Simple with a Glam wall for photo opt. They have 2 ice cream cases about 16 different flavors. On a good tip, they have all three kids favorite: Superman, Cookie Monster, and Cotton Candy. I settled on the Espresso Chip and Strawberry Cheesecake both were true to flavor. The service is good as it gets. Nothing that really stands out.

Outside looks like a converted warehouse space and that theme is kept on the interior. It's really a nice decor the combines industrial theming with unique lighting, splashes of bright color and wall decor that includes hanging cookbooks. You order at the front. The kitchen is visible and everyone was pleasant and very helpful. You take a number to your table and the service was very quick. Most of the food comes with some sort of aoli. That's not my thing and they were very agreeable to take my order without it. My wife raved about the crispy deviled eggs, the Brussels and the fried rice. Her entire meal was a sampling of the excellent sides. I was fortunate enough to order a "special" that turned out to be one of the best things I've eaten. The Fried chicken sandwich was easily the best I've had anywhere. I ordered it without aoli and the honey butter was plenty. It was huge, perfectly fried and flavored. Inside was juicy and cooked perfectly. The most brilliant thing was the bread. It was milky and sweet. It was a sandwich but had the vibe of elevated chicken and waffles in taste. It was amazing. The potatoes on the side were likewise hearty, flavorful and the perfect blend of savory and sweet, crispy and soft inside simultaneously. Both just brilliant. I highly suggest you try this gem. You'll be glad you did.

My top favorites at the moment are the cold sesame noodles, kung pao Brussels and orange beignets. They make the noodles fresh in house! Every bite of Brussels packs a flavor bomb.

Was at a community event and this place came up. The whole group of us could not stop singing their praises. Also, the folks who work here are some of the sweetest around. It's super comfy, welcoming and kid friendly. Great for groups or a casual hang. I forgot to mention the fresh seasonal juices. Like I said this place is my new favorite to take folks and keep trying rotating items. You will not be disappointed.

My wife didn't like that there was so little pineapple in it. Our Napoleon pastry was pretty good, and I might get it again ($5 for a small one). We both preferred it to the brownie ($4). I don't particularly like brownies, but this one looked particularly appetizing, and the order-taker said it was one of her favorites, so we tried it. That was a mistake. Perhaps I should have tried the mini cream puffs, which are a favorite of mine (3 for $5), instead. Among other things I usually like, they had carrot cake for $7 and a cup of cheesecake for $9 (which seems steep). Their fruit shaped pastries looked beautiful (and a couple next to us said they loved the mango one), but were $12 each. Their fruit-topped Danishes also looked delicious, but weren't available any more at lunch time. They also offer milk shakes and loaded (sweet) croissants. There are only four stools here next to a bar, if you want to eat in. The bathroom was pretty good. I probably wouldn't come here again, but if I were in the area I might try some of their other pastries or sweet treats.

I will warn you, let it cool off a little before biting into it. The carmel burned my mouth. Funny thing is, I kept right on eating it lol. It was crispy, but still soft, with lots of cinnamon and sugar. When I got to the end there was lots of caramel that ran to the bottom. And it was still hot lol! I also tasted the funnel cake. It was fresh and hot with the perfect amount of powered sugar on top. My friend enjoyed her cheesecake burrito. The service was fast and friendly!

Because of that, hundreds of kids and families ended up with zero food or drink options at an event that was supposed to be fun and well-planned. Parents ended up having to walk their kids down the street to nearby restaurants, which totally disrupted the event and created safety concerns. If a business can't be relied on to show up when they commit to a community event -- especially one involving children -- that's a major problem. Extremely unprofessional and disappointing. We won't be contacting them again for future school events.
