You know, few things are as much of a classic culinary item as comfort food is. There’s a huge reason it’s called comfort food, after all, and eating it is an experience in and of itself that always seems to remind us of simpler, quieter, easier days. One of our personal favorite comfort foods of all time is good old-fashioned fried chicken; sure, there are lots of places where you can get yourself some of that delicious, crispy-fried amazingness, but some of those places tend to stick out above the others in terms of sheer amazingness. Enter Brew Bird, a wonderful little hole-in-the-wall joint in Fargo, which serves up the best fried chicken in North Dakota. Eat it and weep:
It doesn't look like much from the outside, but boy, if you pass this one up you'll be being awfully mean to yourself without even realizing it.
It doesn't even matter what you choose from the menu - no matter what it is, you're going to love it. When it comes to flavorful modern twists on old-school comfort food, Brew Bird absolutely nails it.
It's the perfect mixture of crispy, flavorful, juicy, hot, and fresh; when all those ingredients come together in the perfect way like they do here, you're in for an explosion of deliciousness that you'll find yourself craving again and again.
The house-made sauces and spices are absolute splendor, too, and you'll want to try every last one of 'em (though the chicken is SO good that you really don't even NEED sauce).
The fried chicken options are plentiful here as well - take your pick from wings, tenders, sandwiches, classic bone-in chicken, chicken-n-waffles, and more. The possibilities are endlessly imaginative, and you're sure to want to try every last item.
Of course, there's more than only fried chicken, too.
There are also kebabs, macaroni and cheese (which is INCREDIBLE), house-made slaw, waffle fries (and sweet potato waffle fries), noodles, mashed potatoes - Brew Bird's got it all.
Oh, and before we forget to mention - everything on the menu is gluten-free.
You read that right: every. Single. Thing. Is gluten-free and gluten-friendly. How many restaurants - especially ones that serve up legendary fried fare - can say that? Brew Bird can. Trust us, it's amazing.
The friendly staff will be more than glad to help you decide on something if you find it hard to choose. Don't worry - it happens a lot. It's only natural when the entire menu is literally perfect, after all.
