| - The Mayobird is a class of its own. Think about it. If I asked you, at any point, what type of food you were in the mood to go out for, what would you say? Mexican? Italian? Pizza? (Yes, there is a difference between Italian and Pizza.) Thai? Chinese? Sushi? Chicken? Steak? I could go on, but chances are you wouldn't immediately default to chicken salad. Am I right? It's just not the kind of thing that's top of mind. The irony here is that once you've experienced The Mayobird, you'll want it regularly!
You'll find The Mayobird amongst the many restaurants on East Blvd. It shares a building with The Summit Room. Walk in to find country decor with family style seating and sofas. Approach the counter to select from a menu boasting more chicken salad variations then you can possibly imagine, and let one of the friendly Mayobird employees know your preference. From there you'll be given a numbered wooden spoon to place in the spoon holder at the center of each table. A food runner will bring your delicious chicken salad to you when it's ready.
Chicken salad not in your wheelhouse? All good. They offer other options. Try the pimento cheese. You won't regret it! The sides and soups are also amazing. Oh wait, I can't forget the breakfast! Grab a cup of coffee, a dessert, whatever you fancy, and tap in to the Wi-Fi as you unwind on the sofa by the fireplace.
This place has just enough southern charm. It's a great place for breakfast and lunch, but they close at 4pm. Unless you're over 80, I'd say that rules them out as a dinner option. I suggest hitting them up on a Saturday in the spring or fall for a couple of to-go sandwiches to enjoy on a blanket at nearby Freedom Park.
