This review is specifically for their restaurant week winter 2026 menu, which my boyfriend and I…read moreordered off of for lunch in January 2026. I have not yet had the pleasure of trying anything off of Fatbird's normal menu. I'll try to keep this review quick since it is pretty specific but long story short, we loved the unique and well made food and the service and vibes were great! So while Fatbird is known for their chicken sandwiches, my bf and I ordered the $40 lunch for two from this special 2026 menu, which was heavily indigenous Latin American-inspired in the ingredients. For the starter, we shared 8 sweet plantains slices which were yummy but we wish we had more. Then for our main, we split one grilled jerk chicken sandwich with VERY unique ingredients like a pickled green tomato as well as two creative tacos with tender shredded pork and more pickled veg. The tacos were spicy as heck and definitely not for the faint of heart! Lastly, we split a small bowl of arrow con leche brule, which helped bring the heat down from the tacos. While we didn't leave full, we had fun trying a curated and very unique set of dishes with interesting flavors, textures, and spices. The other 4 people we ate lunch with ordered a variety of stuff from the normal menu, some of which are in my attached pictures. My bf also ordered himself a pineapple tepache to sip on, which was $8, and I got myself a diet coke with lemon ($3). Our waitress was on top of her game and was very friendly. The interior is cute and spacious and the bathroom is cute and clean. I love a clean bathroom! Their normal menu has 8000 things I want to try next time! As for this special menu lunch, we paid, after tax, tip, and a credit card surcharge, a total of $67. A bit high for lunch, but good vibes all around!

What a gem of a place. Decor is gorgeous, mixing wallpaper, seating, lighting. It is a really nice…read moreambiance. I waltzed in on a weekday afternoon and it was pretty dead, but I was greeted and my food came out quickly. The maque choux was to die for. The banh mi chicken was less exciting, but still good enough to entice me to try it again. Wish I was able to order a cocktail on that trip, as the menu looked intriguing.

I really liked The General for a solid brunch with friends. The interior was very clean, and the…read morebaristas were very kind. I didn't have anything to eat so I cannot speak for the food, but the coffee was delicious! I got the seasonal latte (forgetting the name now, but it was orange flavored), and it was super unique and yummy! I will say that I think this is the type of cafe where you meet friends and chat vs. do work-- it gets a little loud. It was a really cute and communal vibe, just bring headphones if you plan to get work done!

My Mediterranean sandwich was simple and yet so satisfying - good proportions, flavors, ingredients were fresh and the bread being served toasted transformed this from a cold sandwich to a more enjoyable meal.

The quality is superb, you can tell it was all homemade and they put pride into what they do. The bread for the sandwich was very soft and the flavors were amazing.

The bread resembles a pita and the sandwiches looked like gyros with meat, cheese, and fresh veggies on top. I tasted one with PROSCUITTO & pesto & peperoncini slices, red onion slices, tomato, lettuce, and black olive slices. It was out of this world good! Owner explained his next step is a food truck. I read about city regs opening up to help feed the hungry lunchtime masses downtown & at busy locations. Hope others stop by the market to experience the wonderful unique creations. I want this guy to succeed so I can keep buying these sandwiches.

The staff was very attentive and answered all our questions about what each thing was. There were so many items to choose from! We chose a variety of donuts and pastries to let the family try a little bit of it all. Loved the pie squares and the light glaze on them, not too sweet. As we were leaving the crowd was getting bigger and you could smell the delicious food which makes me think we need to come back for a panini soon!

Let's start with the sweets because honestly, that's still this place's strong suit. I've grabbed…read morecookies and random goodies from the case before, and they've never missed. Today though, I walked in thinking this might be it... my hunt for the best fired pizza in South Bend might finally be over. I saw the giant pizza oven and thought, "yeah, this is about to be serious." So naturally... I stayed for lunch. It was busy, but the self-serve kiosk made ordering easy. I went all in Pepperoni Pizza, Cheesy Garlic Bread, Chicken Noodle Soup, and Shrimp Diavolo. For a packed lunch rush, 15-20 minutes wasn't bad at all. Now... the pizza. I wanted to love it. I really did. But it just didn't show up. It was pretty bland overall, and most of the flavor came from the cupped pepperoni which tasted like something you'd grab off a store shelf. The sauce tried to make a comeback, but it got completely overshadowed. The rest of the food? Honestly solid. The Chicken Noodle Soup hit the spot, and the Shrimp Diavolo was actually really good. So yeah the pizza hunt continues. The oven might look impressive, but it's not ending anyone's search just yet. But the sweets? Still a slam dunk. -The interior was clean and the seating area is large.
