The food is fresh and delicious. We all agreed these were THE BEST fries we have ever had in our whole life.
This was the best burger I've had in a long time! Got the smash burger with smoked Gouda, mushrooms, & a fried egg. So yummy! The atmosphere was relaxed contemporary. Easy to get in and out. Definitely be coming back to try more of the menu and telling everyone about this new gem I've discovered.
I would give this place 100 stars if I could! We got the double smash burgers, fries, and fried pickles. Best burger I have ever had in my life. With crazy portions, very reasonable prices, and endless ways to customize your order, they have a little something for everyone and there’s no way to leave here disappointed. We will definitely be back!
The smash burger is phenomenal! The sauce is so yummy. The sides are large, and the price is great for what you get. And they are also so delicious. I highly recommend this place.
First time here! It was recommended to us. We got the bird boxes. Very tasty!
We loved the food and the atmosphere. Pictured is the wicked chicken and dirt pudding. The smash burgers were excellent along with the perfectly season fries. We will be coming back even though it's an hour drive for us.
Small spot in a cute area. Not too extensive of a menu but what they offer is good. I got the chicken wrap which was flavorful and their fries are delicious... Very crispy and a nice seasoning on them as well. I ordered a chicken sandwich to go for my daughter and although she had to warm it up when I got home (in South Bend lol) she said it was pretty decent. Service was cool so I'd definitely go back.
"Bird in the Hand" consistently provides a dependable dining experience with its classic comfort food offerings. During a recent visit, the burger and fries combination proved to be a satisfying and well-executed meal. The burger was particularly noteworthy. Served on a lightly toasted bun, the patty appeared perfectly cooked and succulent, complemented by melted cheese, caramelized onions, crisp lettuce, and a fresh tomato slice. The burger presented a balanced composition of textures and flavors, offering savory notes, sweetness from the onions, and freshness from the vegetables. Its presentation evoked a classic diner aesthetic, enhancing its appeal.
We absolutely LOVED our food! Our burgers and fries were absolutely PERFECT! The "dill chips" were great but do not close them and try and take them home. They will end up soggy. I didn't like how close all the tables were, but we will definitely be back when we can sit outside.
This place is cute! I may be a bit biased as someone who raises chickens 😉 The food is great and very well priced for the portion. Everything is made from scratch right in front of you. The place is cozy and calm and I think it might be my new fave! I got the eggnog shake, and ended up ordering the pickle chips to go with ranch and hot honey garlic. Pro tip- mix the hot honey with the ranch 👏
