| - Heard mixed reviews about Dirty Bird, so I decided to try it out for myself.
Went on a few occasions and had different items: The ODB (Boneless Quarter Leg, Waffle, Buttered Maple, Dirty Sauce), dirty tenders (chicken tenders), and dirty fries.
The store has a contemporary appearance although there is very limited seating. The service is pretty fast and efficient, including if you get takeout. You can place orders in advance as well. But If you decide to wait, the food is still prepared quite fast and is fresh. AND you get nice little take-away boxes and cutlery to eat on the go.
The staff are also very helpful and friendly and are happy to answer any questions and make suggestions.
However, I am not that big of a fan of the flavours. The chicken, while not oily, tastes extremely deep fried. The food is fresh but it tastes very processed. The chicken is crispy, but flavours seemed heavily masked in my opinion. I also don't really like the sauces that much, and you do not really get to choose what sauce you want (though I have not asked if I could change the sauces).
The food is also quite heavy. It is very filling and you definitely get value for the food (despite not looking like it's a lot - it is a lot). The macaroni salad was pretty good I have to say.That being said, the prices are on the more expensive side. I paid close to $20 for the ODB which is a bit much for a lunch.
In all it's not bad, but it's quite pricey. Perhaps a sit down experience opposed to takeout would be different.
