The Mother CluckerMust-try

The legend itself — crispy fried chicken, house sauce, and Red Hot Riplets stacked on a soft bun.

Poutine

Fries buried under gravy, cheese, and scallions on a proper metal tray.

Hand-battered boneless nuggets, the reason the phone number ends in NUGZ. Pick your sauce.

Can't speak highly enough about this place! I always get a Nashville chicken sandwich to go, and I've never been disappointed. My favorite chicken sandwich in the city.

I loved the original Byrd and Barrel, and missed it when it was gone. I'm happy it's back! The food really hasn't changed, and the prices are still really reasonable.
