    I went to honeybird for the second time! It is so good! I am a pescetarian but knew that their menu had options for me. The first time I went I did a plate of fried tofu with all the sides and Texas toast. The cornbread and tots were great. My friend and I split the fried green tomatoes. This time I asked about their secret menu (sssshhh) and had their fish and chips! It was so good. It came on Texas toast and came with a side of slaw. The fries were seasoned curly fries. My friend did chicken tenders and they let her pick three different flavorings for her plate! The cocktail menu is great too, super creative!

    I love that it's set in an old garage and I love vibe of the restaurant, very laid back and the music isn't overly loud. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. I loved the fritters but only with the butter otherwise it was a bland. The creamed corn wasn't what I expected but it was very good. I loved the plating, but I found the chicken a bit dry and the corn bread no flavor at all. I would go back but would most likely try something else, the chicken sandwiches looked juicy.

    My friend picked this location to have lunch. I had never been but it was delicious. The decor matches the theme. The waitress was helpful with any questions. We got the pimento cheese appetizer and chicken sandwiches. A few minutes after we arrived we were lucky to have James Murray from Impractical Jokers eating at the establishment as well. He was kind to take pictures with guests at end of his meal. He was here to do a comedy show right down the street. After our lunch, I suggested seeing Mrs. Skipper one of the 5 Thomas Dambo trolls we have in RI. It was a great restaurant and visit. There is plenty of parking here too.

    The Honeybird Nashville hot fried chicken sandwich is the perfect fried chicken sandwich in my opinion. The Nashville hot sauce is the perfect mix of spicy, just enough you feel it but not so spicy it ruins the rest of your day. The standard sandwich also only comes with pickles, which is my preferred way to have it. You can upgrade to deluxe & get cheese & tomato added. The curly fries were also pretty good but had a little too much garlic Parmesan for my taste. The maple butter corn bread was perfect, no notes. The service sitting at the bar was great. Quick & the bar tender was highly helpful & friendly. The building is an old gas station adding a cool factor.

    We went in as a party of four on a Saturday night with reservations at 6:00. The service was excellent, the space is small, updated and very clean. My favorites were the Nashville Hot Chicken Bao Buns, the North Carolina Pulled Pork Pierogies, and the spicy chicken tenders that were in the Bucket of 10 pieces. My favorite sides were the Collard greens, dill pickle potato salad, buttermilk ranch slaw, and the pimento Mac + Cheese. The baked beans were good, but I could taste BBQ sauce/ketchup based in the beans that were messing with my pallette. I would skip the bucket next time and just get the tenders. The skin wasn't crispy enough for me under all of that batter, but the tenders were unbelievable.

    RI Food Fight-Lord of the Wings Review 2025: First time at Honeybirds. Made a reservation online. Modern, hip hop blaring (yes!) We were seated next to a garage door. Cool for the nice weather, not for January. It was cold! Nice waitress (thanks Gianna.) 1. Wings: Honey Chalula I like the sauce a lot! But the wings were a little soggy. 2.Cornbread: Ok. Like the extra flavor brought in my honey or syrup? 3.Cheesey grits: Bland 4.Chicken sandwich: Super fresh! Cooked to crispy perfection. Great vibe.

    Huge tenders were moist and delicious!  But bring your own honey mustard sauce.

    Wow! Doing one thing and doing it right! Great fried chicken!! They offer several styles and dips. I had the two piece dark meat meal with two sides and cornbread. It was perfect! I selected greens, and yummy real mashed potatoes with brown gravy, both delicious!! Also the two tenders meal was huge, moist and crispy! Not your cookie-cutter chicken tenders! But bring your own honey mustard sauce. Their sauces leave something to be desired, especially the mustard, it's whole grain and vinegary, not sweet or satisfying. Their blue cheese dip was whipped and airy, the spicy sauce was thin and strange. I love dipping sauces, but these all missed the mark for me. Pleasant wait staff and a clean atmosphere, and good service. Doing the honey-bird up right.

    We love coming to Honeybird, food usually hits. Love that there is ample parking in the lot right next to it, and usually we have been able to get seated. They do take reservations though so if you're worried about not getting a spot, would definitely make a reservation in advance. Food, wise, I typically get the tenders, which are huge by the way! an average person can probably eat 2 to 3 of their tenders because of how large they are! I really love the garlic Parmesan and honey cholula flavors. Pro tip, you can get the blue plate and swap it out for three tenders if you want to get a great deal on tenders and sides. not all the time, but occasionally when I've been, the chicken has been on the drier side. Side wise, the mashed potatoes, onion rings, mac & cheese are good. Didn't really love the collard greens as much. Drinks wise, I love that they have mocktail options because I don't drink much alcohol. Some of the mocktails are on the sweeter side, though, so just beware. Overall, honey bird has something for everybody, and when if I come back when craving this!

    Cocktails, food, service - all top notch. I wanted to try one of everything on the menu. What I did have was excellent. Service was very good, and the drink menu was one of the most impressive I've seen in a while. I love the industrial vibe (the restaurant is a repurposed auto shop it appears) with large windows. Hip hop music on the speakers and decorating the bathroom. Very cool all around.

    Rating: 4.5 Decided to try the place for lunch. It's a restaurant/bar focused on fried chickens. Place is relatively small and has limited parking/seatings. Good place to hangout with friends. or The place was busy but was able to be seated relatively quickly. We ordered Nashville hot bao buns to start and shared Fried chicken bucket with side of mac and cheese, collard greens, fries and sweet potato tots. The food was excellent. Well seasoned and great flavors. I particularly liked the bao buns and drumstick/wings. We had ordered spicy and honey with truffle mayo. I liked the spicy flavor and truffle mayo combo. Sides were okay. I liked the curly fries but nothing out of the ordinary or i have had better ones elsewhere. The portion was large and we could barely finish half with 2 of us. Probably was mean't for 4 people. Service was good and relatively attentive considering how busy they were. Overall, the place was good. Solid fried chicken place that can compete with other good options in RI. They are mainly fried food so it's heavy so I would not go often but a good place to go time to time.

    The other night I braved the #washingtonbridge and headed over to Honeybird for their entry in the RI Food Fights Lord of the Wings challenge. Now I had been here once before but I did not have their wings on that visit. The Honey Cholula sauce came recommended by the bartender (who provided excellent service!) so I ordered that. Honeybird does gourmet fried chicken and it is good. Their wings are battered making for a different experience. The wings were lightly sauced and that makes sense as the wings and the batter are flavorful on their own. The flavor is a nice addition without covering up their signature chicken. I was hoping for a bit more spice but they were good - I am learning I do like a honey-based sauce. Do yourself a favor and check out Honeybird (just be mindful of the horrible bridge traffic if you are coming from Providence).

    Chicken Sandwich with everything
    Starla F.

    Honey Bird is not a quiet intimate place, its busy loud and often full. Make reservations for dinner ask for a window seat. The place can be crowded. The staff are friendly, and work together like a well oiled machine. The menu is small, but still making a decision was hard! I had fried green tomatoes and shared with my dinner companion, a very tasty "ranch" on the side. Next came out mains, he had the chicken sandwich with all the extras, I had the arugula salad and fried okra. All was so good! We were checked on often and made to feel relaxed. We both got a non alcohol drink, yummy. What a wonderful use of an old gas station.

    Garlic Parmesan chicken wings
    Madison K.

    Do yourself a favor and order some garlic Parmesan chicken with the black truffle mayo!! You will not be sorry. Pair it with sweet potato tots or their cornbread - so good! Their pork pierogis are also very good. Service is usually quick and they tend to get busy! They have a parking lot, it's small but doable. Also the atmosphere is cool, this used to be a gas station but now they serve delicious chicken from a local chef of Beat Bobby Flay fame.

    Is there anything vegetarian on the menu? It looks like there are some things that could be (like the mac and cheese or hush puppies), but I want to know if those are made with vegetarian ingredients or have bacon grease in them or something.

At this time they were serving'cocktails for a cause' in support of the Alzheimer's Association, which my other half decided to have. The drink, Fuchsia Butterflies ($15), was made solarium gin, house-made lemoncello, with a Gran Classico & Violet Rinse. It was quite excellent. I had a sip to try (I am usually not one for cocktails) and enjoyed the taste. Perhaps I will try cocktails in the future. For food we shared curry moules frites, well done, just how I like them, and salt and vinegar Wings - tasty but too salty which detracted from the dish. We ended with a good chocolate mint creme brûlée. The check came to $80 to which we added a decent tip for our friendly server, Triston. We have always enjoyed the vibe and cozy environment of this place and are sure to return.

At their front patio, they had the World Cup game playing, but the back patio felt cozier so we opted for that. The inside though was a strong second since the lighting is very low, creating a cool and calm environment. Walking through the restaurant to get to our table made me realize that each table is unique, no two are decorated the same or have the same furniture. It was a hot day but the overhead mesh cover blocked out a lot of the sun. Our waitress made us feel very welcome from the start and told us about their drink and food specials. My friend ordered Guatemalan beer as well as a Spanish beer. For food, we ordered the plantain fries, octopus, calamari, and shrimp salad, and grilled lamp chops. The seafood salad came out first. According to the menu, it was going to be paired with cornbread. It looked like sourdough bread but had a far denser consistency. I was expecting the salad to have lots of shrimp to act as a filler but surprisingly, it was about 60% octopus, 25% calamari, 10% shrimp, and 5% onions. The seafood was very flavorful, tasted fresh, and cooked perfectly. The portion size was great for two. Next came the plantain fries, which I was least impressed with as it was essentially fried plantain chunks. I think it would have been better if they were cut into smaller pieces that can be easily dipped and consumed in one bite. The plantain was gently ripe, so just a little sweet and the dipping sauce was like a less sour sour cream. Lastly, the lamp chops came out and the presentation was wonderful. They were a bit skinnier and less tender than that I was expecting, but flavor wise they were good. We enjoyed the food, ambiance, and service here.

However, it was such a bad experience and we didn't like the drinks, so I'm not sure we will be back.
