The owners of Muddy Waters and Kahuna bring you their latest addition to their conglomerate of restaurants: Bird on the Run! Upon entering, you're greeted with a very humble interior - a bunch of tables on both sides of the restaurant with the ordering counter in the back center. The walls are lined with chicken print wallpaper (where can I get this for my own room?) to let you know that you're definitely in a chicken shop. The menu is simple but everything on it looks absolutely delicious, and their frozen cocktail selection looks incredibly interesting.
After waiting about 10 minutes, I had my order in hand. I opted for the Combo which consists of a chicken sandwich (can be made hot-style), waffle fries, and a drink (non-alcoholic, unfortunately) all for $11. The prices look very reasonable, especially for the frozen cocktails.
The waffles fries were textbook perfect!! Crispy all around yet full and fluffy on the inside. This is how you do waffle fries.
The hot chicken sandwich comes on a fluffy brioche bun, a standard mayo, and a sizable spicy chicken breast with a dense, flaky breading. Has just enough heat to make your lips tingle and nose sniffle. Even if you don't handle spiciness well, don't be intimidated by the Hot Chicken Sandwich - it's an enjoyable spiciness. However, next time I would probably pass on the mayo next time I go for the sandwich. There was way too much on the sandwich for my liking. Also the sandwich comes in a little pocket bag (kind of like Shake Shack) so the hot oil easily drips out of the sandwich - make sure you have napkins stocked in the car if you get it to go!
Would absolutely love to see them offer different spice levels for the Heatonists out there, and perhaps some better take out packaging prep.
I will definitely return whenever I'm in the mood for hot chicken, and especially for some proper waffle fries (Chic fil a take notes), and I definitely plan on trying their amazing looking frozen cocktails. All in all, pretty enjoyable given that it's been less than 48 hours since they opened.
