  Delicious Fried Chicken, amazing flavor on the spices. My husband and I have ate here on a couple of occasions and look forward to many more visits.

They have different levels of heat for their chicken.
•You have the Country which has no heat, but a good honestyle batter.
•Mild which has very minimal heat.
•Medium heat starts to get a little burn (one of the heats we typically choose, not the most flavorful weirdly enough, but still really good),
•Hot as they describe burn baby, burn (This is the other heat we typically get and the flavor is amazing with this one, you do get a burn, but the flavor is kickin')
•Code breaker (their menu states) Do you really want to do this? Try at your own risk.

I love some spicy food and some days I can handle spice better than others, but be acknowledgeable about how much you can take. I want to try code breaker, but their hot usually puts me down. So if you can't handle spice order accordingly! (For some clarification which may help to order, I have been known on some days to find a McDonald's Spicy Chicken sandwich too spicy, but then there are days when I can sit down eat fresh jalapeños straight and chicken with ghost pepper seasoning without an issue and not be satisfied because I'm looking for something spicier. An average spice day for me would be somewhere in between)

The one and only complaint would have to be the price, my husband, myself and my inlaws each got a meal, 1 drink each and 2 banana puddings. With tip the total came to just over 90.00. I will say this, the taste and texture of the chicken is undoubtedly amazing and all the price point does is makes it so we may not eat here as often as we would like, but we will continue to frequent this establishment.

  Tenders… Mac… Cookie… rough day at work gone… Best Hot Chicken in CT!

  Shout out to TIM! We come here often because the food ALWAYS hits the spot but tonight made us love Birdcode even more. I had ordered @ home to come pick up and eat in and made a few mistakes ordering. Tim came out, didn't make me feel bad at all about me ordering my own food wrong (so embarrassing) and with a big smile he told me not to worry about it and he'd fix it. In less than 5 minutes our food was out, hot and SO good. One happy fam here 🙂 Birdcode has out heart....AND STOMACH!!

  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!

  The food here is AMAZING. They have a unique twist on Nashville Hot still. I love hot stuff and they aren't kinding when it comes to Hot and Code breaker levels of heat. Pro Tips: If you go Code Breaker, definitely grab an extra soda; The Mac and Cheese is excellent so don't sleep on that; don't skip the banana pudding for dessert!

  The restaurant is nice and clean with fast service. The food was hot and fresh I ordered the Sandro with shake fries and a sweet tea. I chose the medium heat level. The heat was just the right balance and not too spicy. The shake fries were seasoned well and crispy.
