CrackBird South William

Best chicken place in Dublin! New location, but I've been to there old location so many times. Their wings are amazing, but don't miss out in their whole or half chickens. Delicious!!

The chicken starter is simple and classic. The battered thigh strips were a little greasy. The deluxe crunch BKK was fantastic. The fries are small portions of cut up potatoes; sweet potatoes are thick cut and regular potatoes have a lot of small fried pieces. Good value.

We came in on a week night and ordered wings, the soy garlic bucket, the buttermilk bucket, the strips and the potato salad. The 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service was good as well.

Chicken was savory and moist with tasty sauces. Baked potato choices were original and super tasty. Try the one with ricotta and honey, pairs really well with potato ! Salads were simple and not too interesting. Original cocktail menu !

We had some great fried feta with honey for starters and then really good sweet potato noodles. The spicy chicken thighs were delicious. The menu is limited but the food is good and the drinks were outstanding, service was good. I wish they had better space to put your coats away.

Had a great lunch. Really juicy fried chicken which is hard the find. The lemonade drinks are amazing, will be back on the next visit to Dublin. Couldn't recommend it more.

I love a good chicken sandwich and sincerely believe the best chicken sandwich is at Howlin’ Rays in Los Angeles. With the bar set really high, I went to Crackbird in Dublin to see what they had to offer. Around 1:30pm I walked into Crackbird and it was pretty empty. No staff was in the front to acknowledge the customer and provide a menu. I saw a menu on a table and started looking through it. There were a few customers in the back (I could hear them, but didn’t see them) but for the most part this place was empty…probably for a good reason. I ordered the fried chicken thigh sandwich combo. It included tomato soup. I also threw in a side of the “Best Prawn crackers,” long story short, they were not the best. The tomato soup and “average” prawn crackers came out first. The soup was thick and salty. I took a scoop and there was this yellow cube in it. It looked like cheese to I bit right into it and realized it was butter. Damn. That should have been diluted into the soup. The prawn crackers were plentiful and very average. The chicken sandwich came out and it was big and looked tasty. Unfortunately, that was the best part…hoping that it would be really good. The chicken was crispy at first but became very soggy within minutes because of all the sauce around it. The sandwich began falling apart and I had very messy hands now. The chicken did not have any seasoning on it which made each bite bland and a chore to finish. My biggest disappointment was that it was recommended by Anthony Bourdain. I’m guessing he was friends with the chef and he was being nice. My other guess is that maybe this IS the best chicken sandwich in Dublin because of a lack of competition.

If you want great chicken, This is the place. Full restaurant with all the trimmings. Mmmm. We had a really good meal sat out front of the shop. And it was well priced.
