  •   Love this place! The food is always great, the pricing is a little bit on the higher side, but I never regret it! Service is usually quick and they have indoor seating, so you can always wait for your order inside!

      Chicken sandwich got the original -it was so delicious!  Crispy flavorful fried chicken breast nestled between a buttery grilled brioche bun; topped with vinegar slaw and pickles.  Only thing to add is cheese sauce.
    Sandwich is LARGE so bring your appetite!

    Fries were flavorful on their own and came with a side of ranch (your choice). Ranch was homemade and delicious!

    Hot says CAUTION! for a reason! Friend who thought they could handle it didn't do too well after.

    This so beats any fast food version of this and you won't be sorry. It ran $17 with fries & drink  but worth it!

    Friendly staff too!

  •   We got two classic sandwiches that came with a side each, and we got one side of fries and one of Mac and cheese for an extra $1. We also got banana pudding.

    The sandwiches were the best darn chicken sandwiches we've ever had. Perfect crisp. So buttery. This beats out every other fried chicken sandwich we've had.

    The fries were also surprisingly good for crinkle cut. I usually don't like those type of fries because they're not crispy enough but these actually retained crisp and also were so buttery.

    And the Mac and cheese was also amazing. I wouldn't say it's better than Panera Mac and cheese, like another reviewer said, but it's definitely close. It's different, less cheese, more buttery creaminess, but very tasty.

    Honestly, the banana pudding wasn't bad at all, it just didn't compare to the level of awesomeness that the other food items had. It tasted like a typical banana pudding.

    My stomach hated me afterwards, but honestly it was worth it. We will definitely be back!

      First time at the bird code/ Connecticut- At the start of mine and my family visit we were greeted by DEVIN. - First I would like to shout him out . What an amazing person he made us feel very welcomed he went above and beyond with his friendly service from sharing the uniqueness of the menu. The food is on another level! Amazing!!!As well he reassured we were good with drinks/food. - We just got in today and this is a great start to our visit. It's a huge impact when you get best of everything when dining service/food. Devin continue to shine! Thank you for making our visit amazing!

      Not sure what else to say, I was extremely impressed. I ordered the Sando combo, my kids got the kids meals and my wife got the chicken strips basket combo. The Sando was bar-none the best chicken sandwich that I ever had...period. Every aspect of the sandwich was great. The slaw was acidic and perfectly balanced against the medium chicken. I had one or the tenders, which I normally would not get. They were extremely juicy with a lot of flavor. The fries were crinkle cut, which normally means super mid. These were top tier fries. Their house sauce is like a chipotle mayo and was very good. The ranch was ridiculous. I am pretty sure it has fresh dill and it was over the top. The owner greeted us when we came in and checked in during our meal. He was extremely friendly and accommodating. I wish him the best and I think he is going to do very well. Ambiance was cool and I liked the wood on the walls. I will 100% be back!
