I've been to CityBird multiple times now and every time it's been very consistent. I always order the spicy sandwich meal which comes with their delicious thin cut Parmesan fries that pair perfectly with the sandwich. The spice on the sandwich is really great and adds to the flavor of it as a whole. The service was fine, you go up to the counter and order so nothing too crazy and the wait for food wasn't long at all. At this location there isn't any seating besides a few stools which is kind of inconvenient so if this is the location you will be going to just be prepared to take it to go. However, if the weather is nice I'd recommend sitting and eating at Washington Park which isn't a far drive from there.

My all time favorite for tenders. Love the seasoning, lightly breaded, flavorful and tender tenders! The sauces are made in house and delish as well. Oh and their fries! Love the seasoning and always crisp. Amanda at the Anderson store represents the company well. Highly recommend.

Consistently good place to get delicious chicken strips and fries. Their sauces are all housemaid and delicious, and they make fresh watermelon infusion tea as well, which is really good. Not a whole lot of seating, but it's a good spot to do some people watching as well when you're eating.

Service was great. I can't complain. I liked the chicken sandwich and tenders and the children really enjoyed it. Oh, the condiment choices are a huge plus as well I didn't rate it higher because it wouldn't be my first or second choice for tenders or a sandwich, though I did like it.

Nice lunch spot for something tastes and different. I stopped by with some co-workers to give it a try and it gets a thumbs up. On the north side of Fountain square you will find their shop, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Service was fast and food delicious. I had the Parmesan fries and tenders that made for a great lunch. Give this place a try when downtown. Fast, inexpensive, and good tasting!

Love this place for a quick lunch in the city! Only giving 4 stars because lack of seating. Other than that service was fast, staff was friendly, and food was tasty! Tenders were small but came with fries too so was reasonable for the price.
