Overall Rating: 5/5
Taste (5/5): Every dish we tried at Birdies was exceptional. The Buffalo Chicken Wrap, ranked as a Top Dish in Tuscaloosa for 2025, was bursting with flavor and packed with chicken and fresh ingredients. The Birdies Sampler featured three scoops of chicken salad (we chose Buffalo, The Kicking, and Kicking Pimento Cheese), all boasting creamy textures and bold flavors. The Kicking Pimento Cheese had the perfect mix of jalapeños and spices, but the Buffalo stood out as a clear favorite.
We also sampled their Old Fashioned, Poppy, Granny, and Smokey chicken salad flavors, each offering unique and delicious profiles. For dessert, the Coconut Cake was moist, with icing seeping through the layers, and the Apple Dipper was a delightful surprise, featuring whipped caramel and brown sugar that was fluffy, and sweet.
Presentation (5/5): Every dish was beautifully prepared and thoughtfully presented. The chicken salads, wrap, and desserts looked as great as they tasted.
Service (5/5): The staff and owner went above and beyond, touching every table to ensure a positive dining experience for all customers. Their genuine care and attention to detail stood out, making the service feel personal and heartfelt.
Ambiance (5/5): Birdies offers a warm and welcoming environment. The cozy atmosphere paired with friendly staff creates a space perfect for enjoying a meal, whether you're dining in or taking it to go.
Value (5/5): For $12.99 per meal, Birdies delivers incredible value. The Buffalo Chicken Wrap was generously portioned and flavorful, while the sampler allowed us to try multiple chicken salad flavors, each expertly crafted. Combined with the desserts and extra samples, the price felt more than justified.

Read moreOUTSTANDING! The food was good as expected, but the real surprise was the energy level of the welcome and hospitality. Bailie was a bundle of positivity that made me WANT to like Birdies. A new place with a young part-owner earning her place in the battlefield of food service. Super clean and attention to simple detail is superior. This place deserves your business. The quality and value is above average. The people are WAY above the norm. I will be back after just expecting better than a burger. Oh, and the toast...
Read moreThe food is good. I enjoyed the Chicken Caesar Wrap. The only reason I can’t give a full 5 stars is because although the Strawberry cake has good homemade flavor and the cake is moist, it was wet in the sections where the layers meet. May be because of the real strawberries in it. Very wet and soggy. But the flavor is definitely good as I am not a person who typically enjoys Strawberry cake. Outside of that I would definitely...
