The service was great. Food was pretty good. We dined in with a small child and could have used a highchair. I thought the brew and burger combo was pretty unique. I plan on bringing my husband back.Dietary restrictions: There aren't many choices for low carb or gluten free options unless you ask for a salad with no bread.

Super cute restaurant, I love the decor and open seating, and overall there’s a good vibe. When we visited we wanted to sit in the outdoor area, but it had recently rained and everything was too wet and dirty to use. I got a chicken sandwich and it was okay, nothing too special. It was too moist so the bread got a little soggy and it fell apart as I ate it, which isn’t the ideal experience for a crispy chicken sandwich. The fried pickles were GREAT but be warned that the servings are big! I was with a group of 5 and we got 3 orders, now it’s 3 days later and we’re still eating fried pickles ? (luckily they warm up well in the air fryer)! Overall it was a good experience but didn’t quite meet my expectations. Pretty expensive for an order-at-the-counter place ($90 for 5 people?).

Excellent experience! I love the creativity of the menu. Most restaurants at this price point just stick with the same old stuff, but Bird in the Hand really gets creative. Highly recommended!

Bird in the Hand is a place I used to like to grab a quick lunch or dinner, but over time the quality and value has gone down. In the beginning I would’ve rated this establishment 4 or 5 stars, but this will be my last time here and it’s an easy 2 now...and that’s after eating here about a dozen times. I’m holding this restaurant to a higher standard due to the association with Navarre Group, but it’s a shame what the quality has come to now. The chicken sandwiches leave much to be desired as seen in the photos of how the chicken sandwiches used to be compared to now. I’m surprised that the cook sent out this sad chicken sandwich today. For a few dollars more you can get a nice burger and fries from Artisan (same restaurant group).

The chicken sandwich was good, and so was the smash burger. It's a good alternative if i can't make it to my favorite smash burger joint or chicken joint.

Loved this place! The restaurant itself is very cute, and the food made me want to go back the next day. If you go, definitely get the fries and fried pickles! So good! All the employees I interacted with were very nice, and I felt welcome like I was a friend.

The space is very modern, clean and has a relaxing vibe. The service staff were friendly.Looking at the space and menu you would think the food would be better quality.The food was more like fair food or snack bar quality. The wrap was better than the burger. The fries were over done and very oily. It was served on a silver tray on checkered paper which also didn’t seem to match the vibe they were presenting.If you like snack bar food then this would be good.If you’re looking for a healthier choice or quality food may not be the place.

The crispy chicken sandwich is delicious - crispy on the outside and tender and moist on the inside. And the fries are house made, great flavor and
