    The flame grilled chicken is the thing. Sturdy sides include creamed spinach and jalapeno-mashed potatoes. Secret-> Source their hens from an Amish farm and Brine the meat for extra tenderness Read more

    Come for the best chicken in the neighborhood and stay for the free wifi. Awesome place to work during the day and you can eat lunch and drink their delicious homemade iced tea while you do.

    This place has the best chicken I've ever had. Always tender and tons of flavor. Order the half chicken spicy (not that spicy) with mango chutney and the veggy of the day. It's a big order for one.

    For a healthy option, try a salad topped with grilled chicken breast. Then make it not-so-healthy by getting an order of jalapeño Mac and cheese on the side (FYI—it's huge.)

    Seriously good comfort food. Don't be fooled by the casual interior, this place is a hidden gem with the best roast chicken and sides around. Everything down to the sauce is thoughtful.

    Want something easy? Fast? And delicious? But also kind of healthy? Purbird is the ideal delivery or super casual eat-in joint--perfect, juicy grilled chicken and sides (maybe best mac and cheese)

    The 🐓! Sauteed 🥦 is also great. Green sauce is best but chipotle aint bad! Brownies are gooey yummy!

    Fun game - ask guy @ register what he likes and see how many times you can get him to say "chicken" - then have a friend do it. Then tell other ppl to do it until he gets angry. Food is great

    I'm a huge chicken sandwich fan and have to say this is one of the best I've ever had. Staff is super friendly and the service is fast. Never have to wait for a table.

    Insanely delicious grilled chicken. Could eat it every day. Get extra bread, you won't be sorry.

    Make sure to order some of the excellent sides, such as the Jalapeño Mac and Cheese and the Fries.

    Love the quality and flavor of the chicken. This time, I opted for a salad with a side of a chicken thigh instead of getting my fav Mac n' cheese.

    So, I've had the wrap, a half chicken with a side, and a house salad with chicken. Can't really go wrong, because the chicken is ridiculously good (though half chicken + side is a lot for 1 person).

    Brined chicken for the win! Standouts: half chicken for $9 and chicken breast sandwich at $8. (Brining helps retain juiciness, flavor, and overall awesomeness.)

    As someone who prides himself on being a rotisserie chicken connoisseur, the birds here are top notch. The whole wheat mac and cheese + chopped salad make for a great combo.

    Briny, succulent grilled chicken with crunchy skin. Treat yourself to a few sauces like mango chutney and the lemon parsley.

    There ain't much better than a pūr bird. Dont skimp, get a whole bird and save some for later. Oh and some Mac n Cheese which is also delightful.

    Flame-grilled chicken is the trademark dish, juicy and perfectly charred. It's boneless other than the wing, making the texture consistent across the white and dark meat. Read more

    Rationing of your sauce may have to happen. The chicken goes well with any of them.
