We checked out The Bird in Syracuse recently. My boyfriend loved their spicy chicken! We didn't see it on the menu but had heard they offered it. We also ordered their mac & cheese. It was okay, the noodles were a little too mushy for me. I probably wouldn't get this next time. The cornpones were really good! I wish they had honey butter with these. The cornpones were also a lot bigger than I was expecting them to be, which was a bonus! I loved the banana cream pie!!! The fries were alright as well. My boyfriend is wanting to go back for the spicy chicken though! Cute place. Staff seemed helpful & patient since it was our first time going here. We will be back for the spicy chicken & banana cream pie! read more

Ordered the spicy chicken no mayo for takeout today and it was the best!! The bread is the right amount of toasty and I love the flavor of spice on the chicken. It's not too spicy where you can't enjoy the sandwich but enough to give it that kick! The chicken isn't breaded like Chick-fil-A which I like. It has a very thin coating. I love the pickles but wish I could have ordered mine online with extra pickles! It wouldn't give me that option. read more

The Bird - Spicy chicken sandwich - Chicken Shop Near Me - Syracuse, Utah

The Bird has really good chicken. Nothing was wrong with the food, and it all tasted fantastic. BUT, I spent $80 on a big order of chicken for a large party and when I asked for a couple of extra sauces, the manager told me I needed to pay for any extra sauces. I had already paid and waited for my food, so keep in mind this would be an additional transaction. She wanted $.50 for each additional sauce and the cups are pretty small. I couldn't believe after a big order the hill they want to die on is over their sauce. I could go to SuperChix, which is closer anyway, pay about the same and get my own sauce and as much of it as I want. Obviously, I'm not entitled to anything "free" and the business has every right to choose to charge for what they want, but as a consumer, that's a deal breaker for me. Just give the sauce out within reason. read more

Chicken has gotten overcooked and small. We used to want to make the drive from Layton, but I don't think we will again. Fries were hot but nothing special. The place has about 12 chairs, so it's really meant for pickup. Staff was pleasant. read more

The Bird - Chicken tenders - Chicken Shop Near Me - Syracuse, Utah

Good ambiance. Menu is ok and staff was friendly enough. Service was fast. Food was mediocre. Chicken was bland and corn was extremely bitter. It was in fact inedible. Mac and cheese was good. Sauces were meh. Clearly store bought which is fine. Corn bread was good and better with paired blended butter. Don't know if we will be back. read more

The chicken is so good you don't even need a dipping sauce...but the sauces are all so amazing you'll want to dip! We tried all the pies and each one left you wanting more. Our favorite was the fresh strawberry. The cornpone with the raspberry butter was incredible. If you're looking for excellent service and delicious food that has layers of flavor, give The Bird a try. We will be back. The building is chill with a few different spots to eat. read more

Fast friendly service cute place well lite. Food hot and delicious. The portion sizes and very reasonable.

The chicken tenders were horrible.. over cooked and dry.. I'll never be back.. definitely not worth 11.00. If the one thing you sell , it should be great.. not like this.. read more

We went at 5p on a Saturday. The wait was not long, but there was only one family waiting ahead of us. It's pretty plain in there, not much to look at, it doesn't really look like a dine in type of pace either, we did take out, in fact, they didn't ask us if it's for here or to go. We ordered a family meal w half and half bites & tenders. Side of fries and mac n cheese. It was DELICIOUS. the chicken is out of this world. The mac n cheese was perfect and the fries were AMAZING. none of that old hard sitting fries, these were fresh and light. We were able to choose 6 dips. All were great!! I want to go back and try the mash potato bowl. Our family is 2 adults a hungry teenage boy, and two toddlers. We still had left overs bc the littles don't eat much, but it filled us up pretty good. The bread is CORN BREAD, I wish the kid would've just called it that when I asked what it was. Anyway it comes w delicious raspberry butter. Loved this place read more

Way too sweet!! I ordered "spicy" but the breading and sauce has WAY too much sugar in it. For those who don't travel outside of Utah much, you may love it. read more

In a world with raising canes, kfc, popeyes, churches, zaxbys, etc. how do you know which chicken tenders and fries place to go to when the craving hits?!?! Have you been to the bird yet? Have you had their amazing wing sauce? Have you bit into one of their really delicious fries that look like an ordinary fry but taste something rich and special?! The value is great here. The mini bites are a great value for portion and price... Their sauces and drinks and pies are special. But a 10 on the chicken for flavor, breading, consistency. 10 on sauces cause they have good choices and variety 10 on fries. The salt, crunch, crisp and flavor. 10 on seasonal strawberry pies read more

Over priced and really small portions. The food was acceptable but nothing stood out to make me want to go back.

The kids who work here are the best around make sure to be nice to them! Also the chicken is scrumptious.

If you're looking to sit down and eat, this place does not have a dine in option. There's a big open space where tables used to be, but now just walk in and pick up. The food was good, fries and mac n cheese are good. The order was not 100% accurate. It honestly looked like there were only 17 and under staff working, no management staff. read more

The place looks very nice The people are very nice The food is amazing. I love their mashed potatoes with gravy their chicken is amazing and so is their mac in cheese read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat. The menu is simple but I have never yet had a bad experience. Some tenders are smaller than others, but they're always hot and juicy. I like the wing sauce mixed with honey mustard read more

The Bird - 3 Tenders Combo Meal, Mac and Cheese - Chicken Shop Near Me - Syracuse, Utah

This is one of my favorite chicken shops in all of Utah, the chicken is always tender and juicy. The Mac and cheese is DELICIOUS!!!. They have a good option for sauces and they're all really good. Definitely recommend this place. They do get a little busy but that's a good sign!. Service can be a bit slow at times but that's doesn't bother me!. read more

Yep, still a great piece of fried chicken on a bun... Worth $8.50 as a combo? Isn't any unique food experienced worth at least that? I don't know what they do to the chicken breast before or during frying, but it is flavorful without being spicy. Almost like a brine dunk before coating? And the breading is how I prefer it. On the dryer side, firmly on the breast without overly coating it and having the bread coating crack off. The salad was a simple salad mix, nothing special, but the raspberry vinaigrette tastes like fresh raspberries, not sure how, but yum. read more

the food was bad and they didn't give us everything we ordered. just go to kfc tbh. the chicken bowl was mostly gravy somehow

I love that I can run in on my way home from work and grab dinner to go. We always do the family feast and we all walk away satisfied. We love the Corn pons with yogurt dip and the mac and cheese is delicious. Reasonably priced! We go here often read more

My little brother was craving some chicken and gravy and he is very picky about chicken he found this place and we tried it out; we got 3 family dinners since it was 8 of us and boy let me tell you, the chicken is very fresh and delicious, the Mac & cheese is delicious as well, and the mash potatoes and gravy wow!!! It's to die for. You literally are in love once you eat this chicken and everything that comes with it; you definitely must try this place if you are in the area. Even if you are not in the area you should stop by and grab some. It has that south taste abs by far the best chicken and gravy i have had in Utah. We have been here 6 times since our first and i had to do a review. Thanks The Bird we will definitely be back. read more

With 3 kids at home and busy day-to-day, our family love The Bird for dinner. We usually get the family meal half chicken bites and tenders plus more bites. Cornpones with raspberry butter is excellent. Mashed potatoes with country gravy and Mac and cheese are all favorites. Can't forget the nice selection of sauces. Sweet and sour is the best. We did catch them once when they ran out of cornpones. They offered to substitute a side, so I think I chose corn. I think they gave us like a little 2 oz cup with some corn. Was totally not worth it. While waiting for our order, many customers came in to order and when they learned cornpones were out, they left without ordering. I was surprised at how big of a hit those are. But they are really good. I guess we had another instance where we placed our order and waited. There were customers that came in after us with what appeared to be similar sized orders, waited less time and received their orders sooner. That was one time out of many though. Not sure what was up that day. Overall, The Bird is really great food. Staff is usually pleasant. They are in close proximity to our home, so convenient and tasty. They will remain on our Family dinner list for some time. If you haven't tried them, what are you waiting for? read more

This place popped up next to the busy pizza place. I was trying to get my pizza which wasn't ready so I walked next door to see what the Bird was all about. They have chicken tenders and bites along with a few side dishes like mashed potatoes and gravy or maccaroni and cheese. They also have yummy cornpones with rasberry butter. I got a sampling of everything and took it home to try. The chicken was very tasty and all white meat. They had a bunch of different sauces to take for dipping and also some hot honey butter for the cornpones. I prefer the honey butter to the rasberry butter personally. There is also a family feast deal for $25 that you can get with 30 bites (or a smaller number of tenders), 2 large sides, and 6 cornpones. This is a bit big for my 2 person family, but if you have more people, it would be perfect. Sometimes they do a special spicy deal with the family feast if you want to kick it up a knotch. Lastly, the decor is very simple, but they have pictures of dogs on the wall and you cannot go wrong with that! read more

Was in Syracuse to pick up my nephew at the golf course nearby, and a quick check of Yelp for good food options delivered up The Bird. It was interesting that they seem to prioritize takeaway food, with only a few tables. The food is packaged up to go whether you want to stay or not. The food is A+, with delicious chicken tenders and amazing fries. I appreciated the variety of sauce options, since other places like Mr Charlie's only have a few sauces. Everything was cooked to order, fresh and hot. The only negative was the 2 older ladies working the front - neither one seemed happy to be there, and were just shy of hostile in their customer service attitudes. I understand the negative feelings of having to work a somewhat menial job at their ages (I'm old too!), but if you have to work I think it's best for your business to make the best of the situation. I would have given it 4.5 stars but in lieu of half stars being available, I couldn't give a full 5 stars due to the employee relations. Still, I will ABSOLUTELY go back if I'm in the area, and/or recommend it to others! read more

The bird is really good for some chicken tenders and good fries. It is a little bit greasy but will definitely fill you up. I wasn't able to finish my full meal. The strawberry lemonade is also amazing! Probably the best I have ever had. The Mac and cheese wasn't amazing but it was good for what it was. read more

We ordered the chicken sandwich, a few tenders, Mac and cheese, coleslaw and fries. The chicken sandwich was delicious. The seasoning on the chicken is a great blend of spices and really makes this sandwich perfect. They did add Mayo (which I don't mind) but for people who do, ask for no Mayo. I would say this was better than the Chick-fil-a chicken sandwich so if looking to get away from CFA, I'd highly recommend The Bird. The tenders were good too. They were more like flatter chicken breasts than what i am used to for tenders but that's was better anyways. I felt like I was getting more for my money. Speaking of which, this place has very competitive pricing too! Mac and cheese wasn't anything special but if you prefer that over coleslaw or French fries, def try it out! The coleslaw was kind f frozen when I got it so I did let it thaw a bit first before diving too much into it. Ultimately, it ended up being pretty good. Nothing outstanding but this place is made for the chicken not the sides! I also ordered the market salad during a separate visit. It was quite large for the price and had super fresh ingredients. I wish it had more sugar snap peas than it did but I was still satisfied. They also put the mini bites in a separate container so they didn't mix with the salad before ready to eat. I love that! Overall, I'm very happy to live so close to this place and will be checking them out pretty regularly. read more

We were a little on the fence after seeing some of the reviews but decided to give it a try anyways. So glad that we did! Everything was phenomenal. We got two of the bowls, chicken mini bites, fries, Mac and cheese, and cornpones with honey butter and raspberry spread. We were so full that we could even finish our bowls and our kids loved everything. The cornpones with honey better is out of this world. Perfect fries. The bowls were incredible. Definitely recommend!! read more

The Bird - a bowl of food with a spoon in it - Chicken Shop Near Me - Syracuse, Utah

tried ordering a titan meal for my younger brother and his friends and they wouldnt let me buy it without a Titan card... I've been able to grab them lunch for years without issues and all of a sudden I can't. lady who took my order also sounded like she had a grudge against anyone who makes her work read more

The food is really delicious but service leaves something to be desired. The chicken is always super tender and I love the crust they do on it. The sides are good too, definitely get the raspberry butter to go along with the cornpones. The problem is with their online ordering process, it is a very easy order but the last three times I have picked up food from there the food is nowhere close to being ready at the time it told me when I completed my order. The last time took about 45 minutes beyond when it was supposed to be ready, which is crazy because this is just fried chicken tenders. My wife sat there waiting for our food while she watched others walk up to the counter, place their order, and walk out with their food before she did. She also got some excuses from the staff that were totally untrue. There was no manager on duty that could handle the issue and help correct things, just a bunch of young kids who weren't terribly interested in providing a good customer experience. I reached out to them through their social media and they ended up refunding my order so kudos to them for taking care of the customer after the fact, but it still doesn't help the situation that I have now experienced a terrible customer experience more than once. It definitely makes me rethink if I want to continue coming here. read more

I absolutely love this place. The Bird manages to make a very simple dish like chicken fingers absolutely exciting and delicious. You have to hit the sauce bar. My fav is Honey Mustard even though I usually just dip the chicken in the mashed potatoes and gravy. The Cornpones are a uniquely delicious way to eat corn bread. The honey butter and raspberry butter are so yummy. This time I came for the homemade Strawberry Pie, see attached picture. read more

The Bird - What's left of my slice of Strawberry Pie - Chicken Shop Near Me - Syracuse, Utah

My food came out very late. The person I came with was already done eating by the time I got my food. When the food came out the order incomplete and the food was cold. When I went up to correct the issue of not receiving my entire order the woman behind the counter was irritated with me. read more

We ordered 2 Tenders on a Bun with Mac & Cheese, the Mashed Potato Bowl & 1/2 dozen Cornpones. The "tenders on a bun" were exactly what they sound like. It was two chicken tenders each on a tiny little bun the size of a dinner roll with 1 dill pickle on each. They were honestly kind of boring, even after I smothered them in ranch. In my opinion it needed more pickles or a good sauce to make it a little more enjoyable next time. The chicken itself was good. It was plenty moist. I was hoping for a spicy chicken sandwich but unfortunately they don't seem to have that on their menu which seems weird to me. The Mac and cheese was ok. I was expecting a more home style kind of mac and cheese but this was very processed and mushy. Very similar to KFC's. The Mashed Potato Bowl was pretty good. Good ratio of all the ingredients mixed in and everything tasted good together. The Cornpones were very tasty. They came with some kind of raspberry butter that was pretty tasty but they were especially good with the honey butter dip. It tasted just like cornbread smothered in butter and honey. They were a bit dry but the dip helped with that. We couldn't finish all 6 of them since they were so filling. 6 of them for $2 was a pretty good deal. Honestly, everything we got was just a nicer version of KFC food, which is not a bad thing at all. When we're craving some KFC I would much rather spend a little more money and go here for the better quality food. read more

There is absolutely no ambiance. The prices are outrageous. The menu had less than 20 items PERIOD! The staff is snotty and just plain rude. They treated me like a child and they are all less than half my age read more

I work In Syracuse and saw this place ave decided to try it out. It's pretty good food overall. Ordered chicken fingers, Mac n cheese and coleslaw. Moderately priced. Went in during the covid-19 outbreak and was unsure if you went in or came out, ended up going in. I wish it was more clear in that regard. But would go back again. read more

Not bad. It was fresh and fast. It was deep fried. If you don't want a burger and your going through Chemo and nothing sounds great but you have to eat, this place is as good as any. At least it's better than KFC. Not hard I guess. Who needs the Colonel. His secret herbs and spices are over rated. So is his breaded buzzard. This was at least a juicy plump hen. read more

Stopped in for an afternoon snack with my daughter. We got a couple of orders of mini bites and a side of macaroni and cheese. These mini bites (essentially popcorn chicken) are such a bargain at $2.25! You get a ton of them. The macaroni and cheese is perfectly cheesy and creamy. We can't wait to go back for lunch!! read more

Walked in and first noticed how clean the restaurant was. Customer service was good at the register and the menu was straight forward. Ordered Tenders and fries. Both came out hot and fresh. My only critique is the batter for the chicken could have used a little more seasoning. Definitely would go back. read more

I rarely make it up to Davis County but when I do I try to find great local spots while I am at it. This one is more than great. I got the bites - which were beyond perfectly filing for the size, great taste and still so moist. Loved their wing sauce, even to the point I drizzled just a bit on the mac-n-cheese. Had to try the conepones because I can't ever resist anything cornbread-esq... They weren't out of this world but I will admit I ate the whole cute thing. Their staff is super nice and seem to enjoy working their. They adapted really well given COVID-19 regulations for staff in my opinion compared to other places I've been. Highly recommend and will most definitely be back! read more

I was very impressed with the bird and the affordability of it. I loved the chicken fingers and tEnders! All of the sauces make it fun to try everything. Management is in good hands because the people he's started CB Maddox run this and the quality is there. I would definitely recommend to friends and family. I wish this place was closer to me. read more

My family and I stopped in here after a recent visit to Antelope island when most, if not all, restaurants were only offering takeout due to Covid-19. We ordered the family feast and given the number of walk ins and orders going out, we expected to wait a long time. Our wait was only about 5-10 minutes, which wasn't bad at all given the circumstances. At the time of our visit, the family feast was $27, rather than the $25 shown in other photos. The chicken tenders were good - nice crumb breading; tender and moist with good flavor. The mashed potatoes and gravy were decent but lacked salt. Dipping the chicken into the gravy remedied that issue nicely. For our second side, we chose the mac and cheese, which looked very average, but tasted great. The cheese was very creamy, not watery or bitter, and had great flavor. The meal also comes with 6 corn dodgers that had just slightly crispy edges - were they possibly baked in cast iron?!?! They weren't super buttery, but they were good. Overall I would say it was a pretty good value. The family feast fed 3 hungry adults with a little to spare, so I would say it feeds 3-5 depending on how hungry you are & maybe more if you're feeding kiddos. None of us had our socks knocked off, but everything satisfied, and did it at a fair price. I will stop in again when this pandemic is over. Be safe everyone. read more
