“ I had a awesome experience at Red Bird Fried chicken .Ms.Bunny and the crew were very friendly and professional. They made me and my daughter feel very welcome.The chicken was delicious and the entire atmosphere from the music to the setup was a vibe. If you're a foodie like me put them on your Agenda. ”
“ Solid fried chicken. Great taste. Ever so slightly overcooked, but didn't ruin anything. Love the signature sauce. The rolls and Mac & cheese were really good. I do wish they had added utensils in with the mac and cheese and my bosses red beans. I didn't think to grab any and that caused a problem when I got back with the food. ”
“ Nice environment and love the guy who works the bar. The staff is friendly and the food is good. ”
“ 5 star rating because the young man that greeted us gave us attention from the time we walked in until we left. The chicken is well seasoned and so fresh and hot, the sides; omg!! The Mac and cheese, gumbo, and red beans and rice were perfect! Thank you so much for the hospitality and amazing food. I didn’t get to post pictures because the food was too good to waste a minute diving in! ”
“ Good fried chicken, great service, and a BAR. The chicken doesn’t have a heavy batter, and comes either spicy or mild. I tried the spicy - which was good, but not amazing. (Next time I try the original.) The pieces were well-cooked and juicy; the sizes were nice, and the red beans were FANTASTIC. The prices were very fair, competitive with other chicken places. They have other items on the menu - I can’t review them because I’ve never had them, but it was a surprisingly wide selection. The atmosphere - I came in between lunch and dinner, so it was fairly empty. They play blues music (not too loud), and have comfortable seating with a lot of red neon inside. It’s cheery inside (see photos). The bar is at the center of the dining area, and has a modest selection of liquors, beer, and one or two daiquiri machines. Great for nailing a mild buzz while enjoying your food. The service - well, I was there when it was fairly empty, but they were very friendly, prompt, and courteous - can’t ask for more than that! I will come back for the regular bone-in chicken, and try other things in the future. I’ll update the review when I do. Overall, I’m impressed! This is not really a chain - just this location in Lakeview and one across the lake somewhere. They may want to try one in Metairie, move in on Gus’ territory... ”
“ Got take-out and it made us so excited to dine in here in the future! Got the 3 piece mix and 8 piece nugget and they were both perfectly fried and crispy. My fiance ordered the 3 piece mix and it fell right off the bone it was so tender and good. Mac and cheese was also so smooth and creamy with some crunch on top. And loved every sauce! Would definitely recommend a try and can’t wait to go back! ”
“ They have a smaller menu with moderate pricing. They have alot of TVs and good for sporting events. Here for the Superbowl and the crowd is smaller which is a good thing. Unfortunately I'd say thier waiters / waitresses need to either talk more quietly or be more discrete, I would say they have a highly unprofessional culture here. Aside from that, If youre there to eat snack foods, drink beer and watch a gootball game, This may be a good place to go ”
“ Incredibly Delicious chicken with warm and friendly service. We stopped by for dinner with the kids. We ordered a dark meat combo, two kids meals, and a chicken sandwich. Holy moly, the chicken is flavorful and moist. The cook was super nice to my son and brought out an extra piece after hearing him ask for a drum stick. The bread is a delicious fry bread. Excellent experience. The price is great too. Generous kids meal for 5 bucks. The combo was 10 bucks and I'm stuffed. ”
