    The service felt like home and then the food came out and sealed the deal!! I told my husband that we need to visit this place once a week!

    The big plate, with: catfish, rib bone, sweet potato cornbread, cabbage, and candied yams.

    The menu is full of classic Southern comfort food, like fried chicken, meatloaf, pork chops, and plenty of sides.

Thanks for making Pinto's dreams come true with his very own brunch (grilled chicken!). How delightful. What a world we live in! My husband and I got a chicken and avo sandwich with brussel sprouts and a farmhouse platter. The goat cheese grits was incredible! There is so much more I'd like to try on the menu. We will have to come back!

Got seated and were never welcomed we had to ask a server to please get us drinks. The same thing happened when we needed to order. It seemed no one knew we were in the section. Our table of three took us almost 1.45 to have lunch. Front of the house might not have had it together but the kitchen did! The food was great! We had fried green tomato app- fantastic sauce. One had shrimp and grits she loved her meal- grits were course ground. I had the veggie omelette and subbed Brussels sprouts for potatoes and they were amazing. I would highly recommend trying this combo! All in all food is good but the service was slow and not very efficient- honestly the service was bad enough to rate a three but I loved those dang Brussels sprouts with my omelette!

    Overall decent experience for my first time. The fries were yummy and crispy. But enough of the…read morejargon... let's get to the real business. For any spice lovers out there, I WARN YOU to be careful with the Cluckin' hot sauce. After trying their Cluckin' Hot Sandwhich, I literally thought I was dying. Being of Asian descent, I LOVE hot n spicy stuff, and have some type of decently spicy sauce (habanero, ghost, and sometimes reaper pepper sauces) every single day.. They really weren't kidding when they said that the sandwich was an 11/10 hot.. because I feel like I'm on cloud nine from that spice high after taking 2 small bites, and it's been 10 minutes since that.. sweating as I type this out, nostrils are flowing, the pain could be described as biting onto a molten rock of lava, I'm hanging on by a thread. Maybe I'm overreacting.. maybe I'm just a wuss and really can't handle as much spice as I thought I could.. but upon looking at the JuJu Bird Profile on the Downtown GR Market website, the website says quote: "Most of their sauces are created in-house including the Garlic Parm and the SOCLUCKIN' HOT, which is so spicy, it's more of an extreme challenge than a meal! " More of an extreme challenge than a meal?? You bet ya I'll take up on that challenge, regardless if I must sacrifice my hole or replace my toilet.. Would totally recommend 10/10!

    Always a good choice to grab chicken from Juju Bird…read more The boneless wings are large, meat is not too moist & not too dry. The portions are large. Handcut style fries hit the spot; the only complaint I'd have is that they're way too salty for me. You can't go wrong with their Seoul Sticky sauce, it's like a Gochujang flavored bbq sauce.

    Boneless chicken was a bit tough and dry, though sauces were good.  Garlic parm fries were delicious.

    This is my favorite fried chicken place in the area, hands down. It's always perfectly crispy with…read morejuicy chicken meat and each bite is perfection. We ordered the hottest chicken sandwich, which in my opinion had great flavor but I wouldn't say it's overwhelmingly hot. The jalapeño corn bread is deliciously sweet and moist. Pair it with their butter, that's chef's kiss. We also had an order of the chicken and waffles. Honestly, I think the waffles might be my favorite thing on the menu. It has this caramelized top layer that provides a satisfying crunch with each bite and it's as dense as a piece of cake. Highly recommend. It's a cute little restaurant with a darling outside, perfect place for lunch or a summer night. The service is always top notch.

The slushies in the flight are tiny, each is in a shot glass. Expected them to be a bit bigger but they were still tasty. The John Daily was the best. They have non alcoholic slushies as well. We got my 2 year old a Shirley Temple slushy which he was obviously a big fan of. Food was excellent. We got the loaded fries which I will definitely get again. I ordered tenders meal and got mac and cheese with it which was very good. They also have family meals which are take out only. We will likely do one of those next time.
