If you’re into Nashville Hot Chicken, Burnin Bird is a great spot to try. I went for the Xtra Hot once and it was honestly too much for me, but I’m still glad I tried it. Since then, I usually stick with the hot level, which hits a better balance. The flavor is really good, not just heat for the sake of it, and the chicken itself tastes fresh every time.

Amazing staff, helped a lot with the menu as well, very quick to order and got my food in 5 minutes. I ordered a mozzarella stick with ranch on the side, you can choose comeback sauce but I prefer ranch, the spice level was medium but it was so perfect and crispy and cheesy! definitely will go back for more!

Dave’s hot chicken is trash compared to burnin bird! They also have really good fried Oreos! Hot is a nice flavour level of spice. Might do extra hot next time!!

Went in on Sunday with the family and was met with great service and amazing staff one in particular stood out to us which was the chef I believe his name was David. My family and I had a great chat with him and bonded over shared Latino heritage he’s a really lovely young man. We will definitely be back for more.

We ordered two Animal Fries—one mild and one hot—along with the apple cider coleslaw, and the food was fantastic! The chicken tenders were perfectly crispy and juicy, bursting with flavor. The apple cider coleslaw is a must-try, and the Comeback sauce is incredible. Once the spice cools down, I can’t wait to order again!

Burnin Bird never disappoints. The heat level is perfect for mild, and even the naked wings with the animal sauce are fantastic. I also always enjoy the Deep Fried Oreo Cookies. Burnin Bird has become our new go-to spot to order from, with a menu full of delicious options!
