"There’s no shortage of fried chicken sandwiches in SF, but the ones from The Bird are simple perfection that we’ll never say no to. Here, you choose between classic or spicy, and each one comes loaded with pickles, mayo, and a sweet, refreshing apple slaw. Unlike the original location in SoMa, this Hayes Valley spot has beer on tap and cocktails, if you’re in the mood for something boozy." - Julia Chen 1

"The fried chicken sandwich at this Hayes Valley and downtown restaurant is what put the Bird on the map. The spicy version of the sandwich comes with celery, slaw, and plenty of mouth-watering heat. There are also other ways to have your spicy bird, including a version served on a buttermilk biscuit, served with a side of tater tots." - Paolo Bicchieri

I really liked this place. Food was good and several beer options. Decent pricing and tucked away around the corner. Nice place to stop and get a bite and a pint. Indoor and outdoor seating. We both had Buffalo Chicken. I added curly fries. Very good.

It’s a good place to try some good burgers and sandwiches. The price is also reasonable. I ordered a super burger with loaded fries and coleslaw. The loaded fries were little salty the burger had good flavour and coleslaw is not my favourite.

Great lil spot to grab bar food. Stopped by here after visiting the Painted Ladies and then headed to the airport. This spot was perfect. Great seating area outside to take in great weather and atmosphere. I ordered the double cheeseburger with curly fries, a burger for the kids, side of wings and apple fritters. Everything was 'bussin' as the kids say. Loved the flavor on the burgers fries and wings.

One of the best burger spots in town for good vegetarian options! Has fun vibrant ambience with ice breaker games!

No true complaint on the service/ambience seems like they are getting their footing on their style of restaurant. The food is so good, such amazing prices and their cocktails are great. They have a self-order station and that makes it easy to order. Only condiment they had was ketchup. For a quick pre-game vibe this is a solid place.

It didn't suck. The chicken was juicy and tender. The coating was crunchy. The pickles were tangy. All around good value. I ordered the "spicy" variety but found the heat level underwhelming. They cook it to order, so be prepared to wait around 10 minutes or so.

I’ve eaten here several times and have had good food, but what is exceptional is their grilled chicken sandwich. It tasted so fresh with the ingredients that it is now my favorite chicken sandwich in the city. Aside from that the apple fritters are really good.
