If you're looking for a primo poultry experience, then this place simply can't be beat.
Here are the highlights:
Food: Shy Bird has a great menu, from sandwiches to salads and grain bowls. The chicken, of course, is the star of the show.
Drinks: Whether you're in the mood for a classic cocktail or looking to try something new off they have a creative drink menu.
Staff: A+ The service really does add a layer of charm to the overall experience. Everyone I've interacted with is super friendly and fun.
Atmosphere: Whoever said 'business and pleasure don't mix' obviously never visited Shy Bird during weekday work hours. They've introduced a "Work from Shy Bird" concept where they roll out three different menus, offering everything from an all-you-can-drink coffee to lunch specials and an after-work drink option. I've never seen this concept before, and trust me, it's an interesting take on the traditional work-lunch scenario.
They have a Happy Hour which they call "Shy Hour." As you might be aware, Happy Hours aren't allowed in Massachusetts, but Shy Bird cleverly interprets this with a competitively priced menu that's a great value for an after-work drop-in. The $3.50 beer does comes in a smaller glass.
IMO, Shy Bird is an ideal spot for a mid-day meal or a relaxed dinner with friends. I'd confidently give it a four out of five stars.
So fly on over...you won't be disappointed!
