★★★★★ 5.0 Ladi Saka · Dec 2025

Daybird absolutely lives up to the hype and then some. From the moment you walk in, the place has a cool, modern vibe that feels effortless and well thought out. It’s clean, stylish, and inviting without trying too hard, making it a great stop whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or actually sitting down to enjoy the experience. The food is the real star here. Daybird’s hot chicken is hands down some of the best I’ve had—perfectly crispy on the outside, incredibly juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The spice levels are no joke but extremely well-balanced, allowing you to actually taste the chicken and seasoning rather than just heat. The bread is soft and fresh, the slaw adds a great crunch, and everything comes together in a way that feels intentional and satisfying. What real

12/13/2025 Finally! I saw this place on the t.v. show called, "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" and I wanted to try their chicken sando. I ordered the mild spicy one with fries and ginger beer. Damn the ginger beer was so good. The sando it self was ok but I liked the experience. You have to eat standing up though.

Amazing chicken sandwich, fried to order. The slaw that’s on top is perfect, it has a little bit of cilantro and jalapeño. I got the hot, and I like spicy, I think next time I will get the extreme. Amazing mouth numbing spice from the Szechuan peppercorn, all the flavors work really well together. Since the chicken is really oversized I would recommend getting an extra sauce to dip it in, either the hot honey or the daybird sauce. I was too excited from how good it smelled and forgot to take a picture before I started eating, but look at this amazing cross-section!

One of my favorite chicken sandwich places. The Szechuan style fried chicken is juicy and tender and flavorful with the sauce and the buns, veggies and all are excellent. It has a nice kick to it depending on the spice level you try. There's also a caviar addon that my friends enjoyed last time. The fries are also very good. The staff is nice and chill. Seating is a bit limited with standing room to eat.

My friend and I came here before an event to grab a meal. First thing to note, parking lot is a little bit small but there’s a downstairs lot that’s kind of hidden. Second thing to note, there’s barely any seating in here, but there are counters if you don’t mind standing with your food. Third thing to note, this place serves extremely super spicy chicken. They offer no spice, mild, hot, extra hot. We ordered mild and it made us cry; way too spicy. Yes, it was delicious, but it was nearly inedible. Their sauces were good. Fries were decent. Employees not the friendliest.
