I was cruising down US-41 when Byrd's caught my eye! I've always been a fan of Nashville style hot chicken, so I thought I'd give this place a shot. The food was great! I got the classic chicken sandwich, with a side of fries and coleslaw. The batter was crispy, chicken juicy, and the bun pillowy soft. A filling and ... delicious $14 meal. Medium heat level was fairly tame, next time I'll get Hot. Read More

The only 100% hand Zabiha halal place in highland and around. The fried chicken is absolutely good, byrd bomb with loaded fries a banger, and the sandwich uff spicy and best, overall the place is good for a quick eat up , also they always have promotion on uber eats check that out, ask them to strain the oil good , it ... be kinda oily. Overall the taste be soo goood. Read More

This place was great we were a group of nine. When we got there we were quite hungry and went in to put our order the service was fast the people were great and welcoming. Would definitely come back again. The only thing I would change is I ordered two hot sandwiches and they gave me medium. We were still happy so I ... can't take a start off. Just check your boxes before you leave. Read More

My friend and I stumbled on Byrd's one day. We never looked back. I'm guessing the rest of the menu is really good also, but the only thing we ever get is the Byrd Bomb. It is so good we just haven't ventured outside of that. The portion is huge for the price and there are always leftovers despite wanting to eat ... it all in one sitting. The staff is kind and the place is always clean. Read More

This was one of those hidden gems you don't wavy to miss. Service was great, the food was excellent and I plan to go back with a group of friends. It's a quiet local spot that deserves praise.

Crispy, Hot, Delicious chicken. Must Try. The toasted slice along with fried chicken was a first for us & blew us away. Chicken tasted great. Fries were nice & crispy as well. And Nuggets were excellent. We would definitely try again. Suggestion: Please open a shop in Toronto. You won't regret it :)
