Saturday dinner:(~6.30 pm) a few times🔥 - Walked in, ordered at the counter, simple menu. Lovely place, great vibe, busy but not crowded. Protip(s): If I may, fried chicken sandwich, tater tots, regular coke, enjoy! If you’re picking up, drive up twin peaks view point and enjoy it with the SF view🌃and perfect weather 🥂 - Ordered Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich(with and without cheese). Both are good, but I loved the one without cheese, it’s spicy, juicy with slaw, more meat less bun, the best kind of sandwich there is! 🤤😮💨🔥 - Tater tots are a good side, crispy, a lil crunchy with the hot chicken sandwich. - The mango habenero wings are good and 🔥, perfect for ordering with a group of friends. - Food is ready in like ~10 min. Little hard to find parking, but there’s paid street parking around, hope you get lucky.

I’m from out of town, and this isn’t my first time visiting The Bird. It’s a nice place, and I’ve had good experiences here before, but when it gets busy… that’s another story. Things tend to get shuffled, orders are missed, and food ends up misplaced. As an autistic person, I usually avoid ordering online because I can barely customize my food the way I need to, I order in person instead. Even though I did, my order was missing items this time, and what I did receive didn’t match the pictures or descriptions. It was really upsetting to finally sit down expecting everything to be in the bag, only to realize items were missing. I didn’t feel comfortable checking the bag in the store because the crowd, the noise, and the overall overstimulation made me feel rushed, and since the bag was packed tightly, it was also hard to look through it without causing a scene. Overall, I’m just frustrated. I really want to enjoy this place when we come from out of town, but the experience when it’s busy and paying $50+ and items missing, makes it difficult. I ordered some loaded fries and I kid you not, there is a drop of sour cream.

Best chicken sandwich’s in SF. Chicken was juicy snd crispy, coleslaw was not too creamy, just the right amount of crunch and acidity. If you’re looking for Dave’s Hot Chicken in the city, come here you won’t be disappointed. Donuts were solid but go for the chicken sandwich

Visited The Bird while in SFO based on the great reviews, and it didn’t disappoint. The place is small and a bit tight on seating, but the food makes up for it. The Naked Bird is a must-try—unique flavor and good portions for the price compared to nearby spots. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in downtown

Solid place for a bite for about $15 total with chicken sando and tots. Order at Kiosk, very modern energy. The Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich itself is good, not great. Good Flavour, the size and quality of chicken itself could be better. For the $10.50 price tag, super solid. Will be back, if in the area
