Reviews Bird Camden

The only reason I would give this place 4 stars is the fact that the majority of the menu is gluten free ! As far as gluten free fried chicken goes this was pretty decent. We enjoyed the Korean wings but the chicken and waffles were standard. It's definitely worth trying if you're gluten free.

Good food, the sexy fries are amazing. chicken was a little too greasy and crispy for me but it wasn’t the worst. i really enjoyed the waffles too. staff were extremely friendly and accommodating

This was the first time my friends and I tried out a 'Chicken and Waffle' place so we weren't 100% sure what to expect but damn it is a little pricey; so if you're looking for something budget friendly, this is not it. I believe we ordered the Cheesy Korea Fries, Bacon & Cheese Burger, Spicy Chicken Wrap and the Caribbean Chicken & Waffles with Cherry Slush (Off-Menu Special). The chicken in the wrap was superb. The burger was also good but the chicken in the burger and waffles combo was cold on the outside but hot on the inside. It was definitely interesting. Not sure it is something for me. Will need to maybe try it one more time but perhaps something else on the menu. I'm not upset at the quality of the food, just the price and quantity of it. The fries really should have been a larger portion. There were light water marks on the utensils but the restaurant was clean. Among the condiments on the table there were even wet wipes which was a nice surprise. Was a little let down by how long we had to wait to get the cheque after we finished eating as it was not busy at all. Bottom line is, if you want to try it and got the cash then go for it, it should be an enjoyable experience especially if you have someone to eat with! If you're looking for a quick cheap bite then this is not it. Update: 27th December 2019 Unfortunately the marks on the utensils and places were still there. Very light marks, some finger print marks. It just needs a wipe down. Also noticed dust gathering on top of the 'Bird' lighting fixture on the back and the price is still relevantly high compared to the surrounding. Those were the things I mentioned previously in my review and have not changed by the looks of it. But I have increased the rating from 3 stars to 4 stars. Why? My girlfriend for the Nashville Hot, I had the Royale and we shared a side of 'Proper Canadian Poutine'. The food, though pricey for what it is, was amazingly good. Same quality as before. I can't take anything away from that. That's why they received 3 stars last time and almost received the same rating again. So why did I increase it to 4 stars? It's simple. The service. It was a relatively busy period in the restaurant and we had ordered the desert special, Peanut Butter Pie. Just once slice to share. A little over 15 minutes had passed but we had not received anything. This is when the service approached us and apologised as he had forgotten to put our order in and within a few minutes bought as 2 slices of Peanut Butter Pie and said they were on the house and apologised for the delay. I wish I could remember his name coz that guy is a credit to 'Bird' if not the food industry. It's very, very rare for someone to show this level of service and he alone is why I have to increase the rating from 3 to 4 stars. I had to think a while about this, because it felt like I was 'being bought' with pie... But let's be honest. It was really good pie lol I think I will be back for one final review in a few months. Please clean the surrounding area and wipe down the utensils and plates. If possible at all, offer some sort of discount or something different coz for the average joe, it's a little pricey for the portion size. But most importantly. Keep that server as he is gold.

Nice place and customer service. Just didn't like the chicken and waffle because it was too rich for me (probably fried many times). I would have given 5 stars but the milkshake was disappointing. I ordered a salted caramel shake, but it tasted like milk and toffee sauce.

Lovely burger! Stopped in for lunch and I would have given 5 stars had they offered me the cheaper lunch menu instead of me having to ask for it. Still £18 for one person for lunch is a bit much. Hahaha. Food was tasty.

Bird (Chicken) – Camden, London (Eat Out To Help Out). HALAL STATUS: Fully Halal chicken (prepped & cooked separately) • Gravy and Nashville Hot sauce not Halal • Pork served • Alcohol served. With separate doors for entry and exit, Bird's Covid protocols appear straightforward and quite practical. As with all procedures, however, their worth can only ever be gauged when put under strain. Our arrival in the relative calm of late evening wouldn't, therefore, be a true test of things. Nevertheless, the place is spacious enough to realistically allow for social distancing to be maintained. Renowned, of course, for their fried chicken, the stand out dish for us was their unique Chicken & Waffle burger, which easily stood out from the total of four burgers tried on the day. In general, their fried chicken was well cooked, turning out moist on the inside and crunchy rather than crispy on the out, and being a tad oily too on occasions. What's more, those burgers, whose sauce was relatively mild to begin with, such as the Royale, failed to adequately mask the monotony of flavour delivered by what was otherwise a lightly seasoned batter and no more. Perhaps adding some spice to the batter, or at least offering this as an option, might be an idea for the more subtly flavoured sandwiches. On the whole though, Bird impressed with their ambition and menu. You can understand why they boast half-a-dozen locations across London.

Friendly staff. Beautiful food. Would be great if there was a bit more to choose from, the menu isn't very big. Some of the seating is low down and on stools, so a little uneasy. But there are booths. Used to be the location of Prince's NPG store. A little bit pricey, but good taste.
