    Food is delicious!! Very spicy so if you can "handle spice because you eat Takis" go with mild.
    Anne Marie O.

    If it was only for the food, I would give 4 stars but the service was lacking. Food is very tasty and PLENTY!! Great spice rub and flavor on everything from the slaw to the chicken. Service: took 20 minutes both times we've been, to get our food and we were two kids and an adult. One staffer was on top of things both times and the two other staffers we encountered, one was sleepy and slow and the other rude. If the service improved, this would be a great spot.

    This was our 2nd visit in a week. It's that good! First visit we went with friends and family. 6 of us total. To go order. friends told me the chicken and waffles were amazing. I had the dry rub chicken tenders and fries. Wow. The fries are hot and fluffy and crispy And seasoned perfectly. The chicken was really good. Hot. Crispy. Yum. And the corn! Wowsa. It's so good. I wish it was a larger serving but it's so so good! The sauce choices were very good. Try their sriracha maple. it's a sweet kick. And the lemonade. I mean....this lemonade is better than CFA. And they offer flavored choices. I'll be back next week hoping to get a gallon of they sell it like that. I agree with the previous reviewer. Add more of those yummy pickles to the meals please. refreshing. Service was great. Both times we visited, all of our orders were correct and nothing was missing. For a newly opened place, no errors is a HUGE win! Gia took our order. She was professional and friendly. Thank you Gia for great service. The place is clean and offers plenty of seats. Glad they're new to our neighborhood!

    We came in here to eat with six adults and two kids. You order at the counter and then sit down with a buzzer to wait as your food is prepared. We sat at a booth and a table since they did not have larger tables that you could easily push together, but did have plenty of booths and tables for seating. We grabbed some.menus to sit down and look over before heading back in line to order. They had more options at this location compared to the one on I-10, including street corn and a bunch of options to eat over fries. We ordered two kids meals - one plain chicken with waffles and fries and another BBQ chicken with fries. The other location did not let you add flavors to the chicken, but our server here did, so we went with BBQ since we figured it would not be spicy. Both kids got a fountain drink (they love the strawberry lemonade and mango lemonade) and a custard dessert which we picked up after they finished their meal. The adults ordered three tender baskets (mild, Nashville hot, and the next level up hot.) I love spicy, but Nashville Hot was as high as I could do. my sister loved how spicy hers was and I just took a small bite of it and it was too much. Lol. We also had two orders of the chicken over fries and Mac and cheese and it was delicious. The street corn was good and creamy, but the portion was small.compared to the other dishes. The tenders were juicy and were large strips of chicken, especially compared to many other places that have been undergoing shrinkflation and slowly decreasing the size of the tenders. There werent as many fries as the other location, but still a decent amount and very flavorful. There wasn't any ice in the ice machine while we were there, but they fixed it as we were on our way out. The cashier was nice and helpful. She let us know how to order and how to pick up the custard, how to pick up the food, etc., To make sure everyone knew how the place worked since it was still fairly new. There were boxes near the soda machine for you to box up your own leftovers. Four different flavors of lemonades to choose from (regular, blueberry, strawberry, and mango) and a basic selection of sodas. There were no trashcans for you to self-clean your tables. The cashier came around to bus the tables when the line was gone.

    That's Trashy

    No sure what to think of this concept. Second time tried. As always give a place two chances to win a third. Bit just not feeling the vibe. The menu is just a cluster *uckery of fat fat fatty things. The sauces are all mediocre at best. The crinkle fries are always soggy. Chicken little over cooked and dried. Service was slow both days especially for how many people were working. 03/02/2023. Brought my son as he seemed to like 2 tender basket but wasn't impressed this time around. We came. We tried.

    Absolutely amazing food & wonderful, friendly staff -Debbie & Louis were so kind!! The restaurant is nice and clean too!! I got the XTRA Hot Sando chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and the hot Cheetos Mac & cheese! Everything was fantastic and the heat was on point. Also, try the soft serve vanilla ice cream for dessert!! It's seriously amazing!!! Cannot wait to come back with friends & family!!!

    Chicken, bread, and kale slaw.
    Rodney H.

    This was my first visit. I had no expectations. I just wanted a hot chicken sandwich. I bought four sandwiches, thre Nashville Hot & one mild. I was really disappointed. First, I was never greeted. It took a few minutes for someone to even take my order. But even then it was "what you want". I explained that this was my first time, and she offered no assistance with the menu. The lady who brought me my food, when I spoke to her, she just turned her head and walked away. Now the food. The chicken was over-breaded, overcooked and dry. Also, I've had better hot sauce out of the grocery store than what was on my chicken. The bread was soggy, & the kale slaw was wilted and water was in my slaw. This was an expensive meal did I could not eat. I seriously doubt I will visit again.

    Urban Fries

    I got the half order of urban fries and they were fresh, hot, and SUPER delicious!! I definitely recommend this place!

    Food was pretty good at Urban Bird Hot Chicken but it was too expensive for what it was. There are some really good Nashville hot restaurants and this was pretty average. Very busy inside, though.

    Everything was super salty and not edible. There were chucks of salt over the sweet potato fries. It took us lots of time to brush off the salt and they were still salty. Chicken tenders were loaded with high sodium, especially lemon pepper. I called and told the staff about the poor quality. His response was "I'm not sure what to do. We don't have manager or owner here." We spent $50 and did not enjoy a bit. Very disappointing!! Not worth the money. Will not go back again.

    Chicken with green muscle disease? Very off putting and the staff didn't really know how to respond or what to do.

Unfortunately, my experience yesterday was so unacceptable that I will never return. When placing my order, the employee taking my order appeared intoxicated. His eyes were drooping and closing, he repeatedly paused, mumbled, and seemed to struggle entering my order. Although this was concerning, I chose to overlook it and waited patiently. After about 10 minutes, I simply returned to ask whether my order had been placed and if it was ready. I was not upset, in a hurry, or complaining. I only wanted confirmation that my order existed because the employee kept responding, "No orders, no orders," despite me showing him my receipt. Due to an apparent language barrier, I called my Hispanic husband and handed the employee my phone so he could ask the same simple question in Spanish. Instead of helping, the employee began yelling at my husband. Another employee joined in, and both started yelling while walking away with my phone. When the phone was returned, I still had no idea what had happened or whether my order was being prepared. The situation escalated for no reason. The employees began yelling at me, aggressively slammed the service windows shut, ignored me, and treated me as if I had done something wrong. I remained calm throughout the entire interaction and repeatedly stated that there was no problem--I simply wanted to know if my order had been placed. Eventually, the food was thrown together carelessly, shoved into a bag, and handed to me with obvious hostility. The food quality was terrible, and the customer service was even worse. What disappointed me most was that this entire situation was completely unnecessary. I was respectful, patient, and simply asking a basic question. The combination of an employee who appeared intoxicated, the aggressive and unprofessional behavior from both employees, and the poor quality of the food made this one of the worst customer service experiences I have had. I cannot recommend this location and will not be returning.

This place has now become one of my go-to's and has been added to my rotation. I go pretty often, and I dread the drive everytime until I get a taste of their food. It's also where I take my out of town visitors- it's that good. Located within a strip mall, but it's got a cute ambience, with low key music, and wallpaper that pretties the place up. My regular order includes their Thai tea, cheese rolls, yellow curry with chicken, pad Thai (wrapped in an omelet- so cool!) and their fried rice. Alllllll of it is so good. Oh whoops and my husband loves their beef drunken noodles. The servers are all super friendly and always helpful with suggestions. I couldn't recommend this place enough. But also don't go so much that I can't get a table please!
