Bydie's is a very bright and cute chicken spot off 3rd street, fairly close to the grove. They only have street parking, and since it's on such a busy street, may be difficult.
Before I came in, a person on the street came in just to say how much he loves getting their food delivered to his place. It comedically set some pretty high standards for the place.
The chicken itself was marinated in a very tasty way and is good on it's own. I ordered the BBQ sauce to come with it, but the sauce itself wasn't great quality. I ordered it with a side of potatoes and brussel sprouts.
The potatoes were alright. The potatoes were cooked to a good texture, not being too mushy but easily able to bite, but flavor profile was lacking. It's also cooked in this sweeter sauce, but since it's very liquid-y, couldn't stick too much to the potatoes. Will opt for fries next time.
The brussel sprouts, however, were my favorite thing. It's a shame the portion is small because the taste was amazing. The sauce coats the crevices of it, and it's seasoned great as well.
Overall, underwhelmed with sauce options I chose, and the subpar potatoes that didn't go well with the chicken. Would go back for brusell sprouts and maybe fries next time.
