Dr. Bird’s Jamaican Patty Shack Bringing Caribbean to Chicago | Eater Chicago

"I learned that the original Dr. Bird’s Caribbean Rasta-Rant opened in Buffalo in 1981 and has long sold baked patties there; the restaurant gained additional community credibility after being mentioned in a song by local rap collective Griselda, and members of that Buffalo outfit later signed with Eminem’s Shady Records and, more recently, with management at Jay‑Z’s Roc Nation." - Ashok Selvam

Dr.Birds been a favorite and only go to for authentic food since I was a kid going with my dad to the barber shop on E.Delavan when they had a location across from a barber shop. The recipe is still the same and I’m 31 now the young gentleman at the front is very professional and respectful coherent and a great help for his relative the owner is mild tone with blessed hands the patties are authentic fresh flaky soft and perfect bite I went two days in a row! The atmosphere is peaceful calm and inviting i am forever a patron of Dr.Birds I love the oxtails the steak and curry chicken I definitely have to try the goat and the carrot cake is so moist too! Wait time is reasonable everything is made to order no rushed food just love and patience you can tell in the taste! Overall this restaurant is dear to my heart and I’m proud to support!

Dr. Bird’s is always a pleasure to visit. The food is always delicious, and my personal favorite is the spinach patty. Everything I’ve tried has been great. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I highly recommend it.

Always loved the food here, I stopped in for curry chicken patty and it was so hot & delicious!! The man working was nice, he was cooking & also handling the front so I didn’t mind waiting a minute, I got to look at drinks & find out about new menu items. Always recommend this place! 👍 Lots of desserts to try and I love they even have vegan items with jackfruit, can’t wait to go back and try that!!

The food was delicious BUT I barely got any !! I got ox tails cabbage n rice. The box wasn't even half full. I got a fork n a half of cabbage not even two bites smh And barely NO meat for $21 dollars that's ridiculous! I understand food prices have gone up so they charge more but I didn't even get full I had to make something else to eat too. A big tease cuz the food was real good im very disappointed!

First time ordering, and it was not disappointing. The Curry Goat was great. It was cooked to perfection, and the flavor was on point. The Curry Chicken tasted great, just the right amount of curry, only white meat no bones. Both dishes were well seasoned, tasted great, the potion was sufficient and came with one side each.

This place is a joke to anyone who has tried authentic Jamaican food in the past. Not to mention their paltry kids meal size portions. Thank God there’s a tree blocking their store sign, so most people don’t notice it when driving past it. Don’t mistake their Jerk Chicken as being authentic Jerk. They bring shame to Jamaican food and couldn’t win any contests with their recipe. No thyme, pepper, ginger, or authentic herb was used in the chicken. You can probably get better jerk chicken inside a Mexican restaurant. Avoid at all costs. It’s not Jerk, it’s a joke.

AUTHENTIC CARRIBEAN FOOD!! Old Rasta in the back throwing down… and cooking it up FRESH. Great find off Main and Highgate. They were very helpful in deciding what to eat. Curried tofu, plantains, veggies, and a spinach & veggie patty. Well worth the wait and worth every penny.

The day was 11/6/2019 As a Rastafarian in buffalo it is difficult to find a place that serves quality vegetarian holistic food. While on our way to daemon college to present a National Financial Literacy Campaign to the students and faculty. We decided to Dine-In at Doctor Bird on Main Street. I asked if they had Ital and clerk went to check (the Jamaican In me could already predict the answer: “we no have dat” when going to a Jamaican Resturant the next opportunity is what you rly want because if they say yes they have it consider yourself very fortunate! The food so good it always sell out) The gentleman returned with the Cheff and proceeded to explain that the answer was No. Wise person said “No = Next Opportunity”. The Cheff provided a great opportunity for me to try something I have not eaten in over a decade. He offered to cook up a Vegetable Rundown dinner, without hesitation I accepted. As I waited I ordered 2 vegetable patty and coco bread as appetizer. My colleague who had outside food ask to taste the veggie patty! She was shocked at how amazing it taste, she rated it better than that of Golden Krust in NYC. Once my dinner arrived everyone in store said it looked amazing, my business partner again tried some of my meal and jokingly stated “wow that’s a nice portion, what did you say you need help finishing it” I laughed and shared some with her after she taste the food she was astonished at how flavorful the food really is. Now she wants to return back and order what I had. The overal day was amazing thanks to the chef and great service! We plan on returning Saturday to get the Jamaican national dish ackee and salt fish! To the chef & Crew Thank you Vegetable Rundown on point!
