Crazy good! Mac and cheese on my chicken sandwich? Who does that? And Boy oh Boy, did they ever!
Great Atmosphere, Kind Staff, and some Awesome Hot Chicken. I used to go to Dave’s, but Jaybirds is better and theres a study area upstairs and free wifi. Their spice levels are more mild than Dave’s, (I regularly get extra hot here, but I only get hot at Daves), so consider going up a level.
Everything was cooked perfectly . I ordered the stripes and waffles. Stripes were crunchy and juicy. Can't wait to go back...
I love beer. I love hot chicken sandos. I am a Hot Ones nut and have tried over a hundred of the hot sauces featured on the show. I’ve been to dozens of different hot chicken spots in Cali and I have to admit, Jay Bird’s is good! I ordered ‘fire,’ the hottest they had to offer. It made my nose run, but was delicious. If you’re a fan of trying the hottest chicken sandwiches, this one won’t kill you. If you’re a newbie, this is Carolina reaper hot. Take heed. My wife had the Mac and cheese topped chicken sandwich and loved it. Our kids love the Mac and cheese. Super creamy and cheesy. Did I mention there is beer right next door? There is! You can also order ‘big sexy style,’ which was described to me as a buffalo sauce. It resembles Hot zones own Buttery Buffalo Sauce. It is vinegar based, but the butter takes center stage.
1st time today. bomb highly reccomend chicken & waffles. And a Arnold Palmer. So delicious. Amazing service food &location is perfect for date days.
This is one of the most popular places in the county to get fried chicken, and there is a good reason for that. The Fried Chicken here is delicious! The solo tender is an excellent value for lunch at 3.85 - it comes with a slice of bread, some pickles, and the sauce of your choice. I chose ranch dressing as my sauce, and I think they could improve by using a better quality ranch dressing. Otherwise, this place gets two thumbs up!
Wow, Jay Bird's has taken Chicken to a new level! Due to my health issues and not being able to eat very much at one time I try to find something small in size. So, I ordered the Blazin Fries.... well just look at the pics and you will understand. I immediately asked for a to-go container. The order is huge! Crinkle Cut fries (my fav), Mac n Cheese, Chopped up Chicken Strips and the Sauces! D.E.L.I.S.H Chicken cooked perfect the fries as well and the Seasonings excellent and the sauces are super tasty! And the price is great! I love the fact you have several heat choices...I chose medium this time but I will try Hot next time. The team there is super nice and very attentive and patient!
One of our favorite spots in the SLO Public Market. Always quick/tasty and pairs well with a Bottlecraft craft beer in the Market nicely Recommend the Mac Daddy & 'Hot' spice level! Fun addition to SLO
