Showbird NOLA

ShowBird was just okay overall. The biscuits with jam were definitely the highlight—really tasty. The chicken was decent but nothing special, and the fries were just average. It felt a bit pricey—paid about $26 for chicken crisp, fries, a soda, and a biscuit (not a combo). Worth trying once, but not sure I’d rush back.

Over all experience was just "ok". Ordering and picking up went well enough but nothing spectacular. The presentation was very nice in the tray and I was very excited to eat. Unfortunately the majority of my chicken sandwich was very tough and difficult to chew. The only thing that kept me eating was that it did have great flavors. The Fries were very good. All in all I would not be in a hurry to return.

We were in town for the Zulu parade on Tuesday, March 4, 2025. We arrived early at 5a. When the snacks ran out and the crowd got thick Snowbirds was close by. It was a long line and maybe short staffed. They were trying hard to keep up. I let the line die down some before entering and ordering. I got the loaded waffle fries and added chicken to it. Would have been nice if they had just a seasoned chicken breast instead of fried. The waffle fries were overcooked, the cheese sauce was too thick and everything was so salty I only ate about 3 bites. Paying $17 for salt sticks is crazy.

Very delicious. Lots of flavor. I got cheese grits and chicken cracklings also a crack wrap on the side. The cheese grits the best I’ve had in a long time. I did ask for a side of their creole seasoning to make it more spicy. Just my preference. The chicken cracklings was amazing.

Stumbled across Showbird on my way to another restaurant and decided that chicken sounded better than what I was originally going to get. This was DEFINITELY the right choice! By far one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve had, and the cheesy grits were delicious. In addition to the food being great the staff are super friendly and care about the quality of their food and customer satisfaction. They frequently are asking customers if everything is tasting good and if they need anything.

This spot was one of my absolute favorites for casual food but they have gone completely downhill. The food quality has deteriorated so much to the point that it’s inedible. I ordered a 5 piece spicy tender box and the fries and tenders were stale as a rock and it was obvious they just sprinkled new seasoning on both to make it look “new”. Aaron Sanchez should be ashamed that he has this kind of establishment under his umbrella. The atmosphere is good and the customer service is ok at best but I can no longer recommend the food in good faith.

Walked into Showbird for a to-go lunch. The spicy chicken tenders, waffle fries and bird sauce were really good. The chicken was super juicy and good. If you are looking for fast-casual chicken this is a great place to try

As we walked in there were plenty of seating available, and not to busy. Upon ordering we did have to wait 7-10mins. Service was great, even though my wings were over cooked. They replace them with fresh ones. Food was ok, and they've got phenomenal honey mustard. The sandwich was good as well.
