So I have a morbid fascination with southern style food and have been looking forward to chicken and waffles forever. I finally had a chance to try out Dirty Bird. I had seen their location in Kensington so I was optimistic.
Here is how it went down:
The Good:
The location is bright. The staff are super friendly. The chicken and the waffle are hot and crispy.
The Bad:
Everyone else in the restaurant was eating frozen yogurt. I ordered the ODB which was quite underwhelming given the price. The side salad (potato) was served in a thimble and not very tasty.
They are quite skimpy with the syrup.
The Ugly:
They were prepping the salads and food without gloves. Press on nails might make the salad a little crunchy when they fall off. The chicken is really salty and without enough syrup on the waffle you don't get the flavour profile. The red sauce on the chicken is unnecessary.
Overall:
Not worth the price. $20 for a waffle, a piece of chicken and a thimble of potato salad.
