Alright, this is a SMALL space. 3 small tables, seats 3 people (at most) per table. They certainly made the most of their space. Absolutely not an unfortunate place to sit in an eat, but definitely an unconventional layout. Small, but absolutely delicious menu, posted up on the wall by the pop cooler. The chef was, HANDS DOWN, killing it by himself, in that small space. There seemed to be a lot of pre orders and pick up, so there was no wait when we got in. Took us less than 10 minutes to get our food. We dined in. We both got medium heat with our chicken meals! I would definitely get the hot next time, for I like spicy food. The chicken, and tenders, were absolutely delicious. The macaroni salad was creamy and delightful! The poutine, and absolute classic. I 10/10 recommended this chicken restaurant to anyone wanting some well done Fried Chicken !!
If you like big sloppy chicken burgers, that will fill you up . Then filthy bird is for you. The service is great. the man behind the counter running around still heald a convo . Atmosphere. It is small .not much of a sit down .. but it's fast food
I'll start off by saying I had good service, the guy at the front (owner?) was nice and the food was prepared fresh. The crinkle cut fries were good! crispy and lightly salted...I think it was my favourite thing on the menu along with the comeback sauce- def get extras to dip your fries and chicken in! I personally liked the coleslaw and how it was not sweet, although it does need a hit more acidity. The bad: Not too many tables to sit down, the macaroni salad was not very good (they should think about serving mac n cheese instead) and the chicken is the BIGGEST let down. It doesn't taste bad, but it definitely lacks flavor. The worst is the batter/dredging that they use. It has a very off-putting & strange texture, which is made worse by the Nashville spice that is sprinkled on there. When you bite into the chicken, you get this sandy/gritty feeling in your mouth. I personally would not come back here, and although other reviews say the Whyte Ave location is better, I am very hesitant. Guess I have to go to Nashville to get the real deal.
Everything here is good, small concise menu and it’s consistent every time I come here. Seasoning is killer, Mac salad is perfect, staff is great and quick at prepping sandwiches. Fair warning the medium is enough heat for most people. Also they give a full chicken breast unlike other chicken sandwiches, it’s the best quick lunch in town.
Went here for lunch and got sandwich medium spice with crinkle fries. No drink lol. Overall was decent. Good service. Thought the breading of chicken was ok but thick and maybe not cooked quite right. Fries felt like they were overcooked. I went to the Whyte ave location before and loved it so maybe they had an off day. I’d try it again and do tenders next time.
I recently visited Flirty Bird on Baseline and was thoroughly impressed with the food. The Nashville hot burger I ordered was one of the best I've ever had, perfectly crafted with a delightful salad in between the buns. Although I didn't get a chance to try the fries or tenders, they looked delicious. The portions were quite generous, though the price point felt slightly high. The friendly staff added to the positive experience, and despite the small size of the area, the cool atmosphere with its quirky drawings and plants made for an enjoyable dining settin. Make sure to be safe with the sauce. I know spice levels quite well, and I can tell you the highest levels are incredibly hot. It's best not to push your limits and order the two highest levels unless you're absolutely sure you can handle it.
First impressions when you entered will be little bit off because of the atmosphere of small space but when you try the food, it's really good. Just for spicy lovers and you will appreciate and enjoy the food. Young lady service is really pleasant. Recommended for spicy lovers and chicken lovers Point to improve, put some pictures or images of your food on the menu to attract customers appetite and drop curtain or cafe blind to block direct sun lights for dining customers.
If the food is all like what we got today, this place will not survive. I ordered a hot chicken sandwich, a couple of medium tenders with a side of fries and gravy. First, all way too spicy. I like spicy, but this was just hot, no flavour. The chicken burger was overcooked and the breast was encased in a hard shell of batter, not attached to the shell. After biting off the end I could have dumped the chicken breast out of that spice container it was in. The coating was just dry dust spices so a bit like chewing sand. Spicy sand. I ate the chicken after peeling off the shell. The medium tenders were way too spicy for both parties that ordered them. They also did not like the dry, dust like coating. One peeled off the coating from the tenders to eat them. The French fries were cardboard like (I was told). The salad was just pepper. I was told the pickles were the best part of the meal. The restaurant was staffed by 1 person to take orders, cook, package, etc. seating is tables for 2 only with 3 tables total I think. No one from this household would eat there again.
very few tables and chairs in this little shop so take out is the way to go but holy crap was it delicious..
Food is amazing but never open on time. Last 4 times we have been there on a Tuesday or Thursday no one arrives till at least 11:10 and then don t unlock the doors for another 15-20 minutes. Should look at opening 11:30. Food amazing though
First time trying the Sando chicken sandwhich, it was cooked to perfection and very filling and i would highly recommend checking it out. The music was also as good as the sandwhich
I bought two chicken poutines and 4 extra chicken tenders. Got the poutines but no tenders. Very unimpressed I paid 55 dollars for two poutines
The food is amazing and the portion sizes are generous.
It s an authentic Nashville chicken sandwich. Yes, it s supposed to be dusty . Unfortunately, your marketing people should have told you that Sherwood Park is not cultured enough for this.
Chicken is well cooked. Juicy and crispy. Tried the hottest spice on the menu and it was hot but without losing flavor. They let me know there is an off menu extra spice level and Ill definately be trying that next visit. Only downside to this place is Im seeing a lot of talk about the tips not going to staff. Tipping culture is already getting worse and of this is true thats a super shady practice from the business owners.
If you like hot, this is your spot! Good shhhhhi
Very dry tenders and small portion! Place was dirty when I came in. Would not come back! Popeyes is better than this place!!
Small hole in the wall, but huge on flavour and portion. Will be back!!
Every time I come here the food is awesome, never had much of Nashville hot chicken, always been a saucy kinda guy, but from the times I have tried it, flirty is the best. The younger gentleman with the dark curly hair and glasses is definitely my favourite there, always super nice and welcoming with a huge smile, and cooks the food perfect every single time. Great experience, great food, awesome lunch spot.
The chicken is good, the fries suck and take away from it so I d say get the sandwich (doesn t leave much choice). Would help to make the menu clearer too. Not much space for sitting so take out if you go. Food
I order from here on a regular basis, I love the food. But the staff might want to check the kitchen tools, I found something in my macaroni salad on Tuesday night. It was a skip the dishes order, we were told to deal with them. They offered a $5 credit. Kinda disappointed. Couldn t really finish the order after finding that.
Food was over seasoned, dirty kitchen, touching everything with their gloves well making food and tenders were small.
Went to go for lunch, says it opens at 11 but no one was there. Watched the employee show up 15 minutes after it was supposed to be open, which means by the time the employee preps his stations and warms up the fryers he won t be ready to serve customers until 12. It s a shame the employee had no respect for the owners to show up on time because the food is really good here.
Tiny store I wouldnt recommend eating in store. There is only 3 tables. The chicken batter has a really bad texture its gritty and dry. Its not seasoned very well and kinda bland. I even got medium spice and its not that spiced. The chicken inside the batter isnt bad. Was a bit overpriced for the undersized portions. Service was ok nice people at least. Fries are dark brown and crunchy super overcooked. Had chicken strips have the same issue as the chicken burger. Overall go to Popeyes. Kid-friendliness: No baby seats no bathroom
Ordered Med Spice Chicken Tenders with fries. Lets start with the price, $30 for 4tenders, fries, water, and pop. Didnt expect that kind of price going into a take out chicken place. Next the atmosphere was non existent. It is a hallway with a few high top tables. There were 3 or 4 tables if you did want to eat in. However due to the high temperature I decided to eat in the car. Chicken! Positive: Juicy white meat, very plumb Tenders. Negative: Nothing like nashville chicken spice that we had while visiting Nashville several times. They didnt have hot spice available so I went with med spice. It was not spicy at all. It was more East Indian spicy then anything else. I expected med to at least have a kick as usually gets the blood flowing when in Nashville. Fries: Very hot and fresh. Way Way Way too much seasoning salt. Only ate about half the order because of the salt on the fries. Coleslaw: Worse I have tasted in a long time. Pickles: Great, loved the sour pickles. Sauce: Not enjoyable Overall Recommendation: Pick somewhere else!
Great food, great people working here but the tips dont go to the staff! Love the food and the great people working here deserve better.
had the chickingbin hot spiced was with fries, salad, pickles ect and was delicious and reasonably priced. Service was super friendly. Will be back
I dont understand the place closed so early? Close at 7 every day. Usually restaurants like this open till 9 or 10. I usually work late and never have the chance to try Flity Bird.
Amazing place, had the mild chicken tenders and WOW, delicious!! The sauce is amazing, both the pickles and coleslaw are awesome with it. Fries are great and gravy is delicious too!!
Dry chicken sandwich. Id swear this is just pre-breaded, frozen chicken. The breading flakes off in large chunks, its a pasty layer like something youd get in a box at the grocery store. Did something change? This is the first time Ive tried it, it sure didnt look like the pictures people post.
Stopped by for a quick bite with some friends! Smaller location with a view into the kitchen. Food was very fresh - good amount of pickles which worked to balance out the richness. Service was really great here!
Perfect chicken sandwich. Always.
A little too salty on the Flirty fries for my taste.
Found this place when we were Googling places to eat near our hotel while travelling. Review ratings were very good and the pictures of the food looked pretty good as well. We were NOT disappointed. It s nothing fancy inside with just a few eat-in tables but we both really liked the music that was playing. We each ordered The Tenders in the MED FLiRT heat. My wife added fries and I added the poutine. Everything was fantastic. The chicken was perfectly cooked, nice coating and super moist. The comeback sauce was a perfect balance to the spice in the coating. But be advised, MED FLiRT means a bit hot. My wife said her fries were great and I thought that my poutine was the second best that I have ever had(sorry but the poutine I had in Quebec City is still the best). Coleslaw was good and the pickles yum! Whenever we re back in Sherwood Park we ll definitely eat here again. We need this franchise in our home city. But, next time, I think we would go with the MiLD FLiRT coating!
Honestly i love White Ave Flirty Bird..... absolutely awesome. This one in Sherwood Park totally disappointed with batter coming off and some piece not evenly cooked. I wont take this as a Flirty Bird average as i have tried multiple times the White Ave location and have always been so happy. This location unfortunately fell quite short of my expectation. Both my wife and my meal were disappointing. She had the strips, i had the sandwich.
The chicken was JUICY and crunchy. I would eat this everyday if I could, spice levels are accurate, the med flirty was petty spicy, the extra hot was out of this world i can t even imagine the levels above it. Over all a great experience, the cashier was so nice checked in on us regularly and made accommodations to our orders without a fuss.
Disappointed with the food quality. I m always excited to try a new lunch spot in Sherwood park. Unfortunately this place missed the mark. I love a good Nashville hot chicken sandwich, but this just isn t that. The chicken was hard, and rubbery inside. Seasoning was wayyyy over seasoned and not dredged properly as it was falling off the chicken breast itself. The saving grace of the meal was the crinkle fries. Constructive criticism here I think the owner just needs to do some quality control/training with new staff it can be tough I understand. Hopefully they can turn this place around.
Absolutely delicious great atmosphere wish they would have more of these
Absolutely fantastic food, I wont hesitate to eat here again. The poutine is lovely, but the real star of the show is the Sando. I went with the hot, and might jump up one level next time.
Service was amazing!
I only got the medium flirt spice level and that is definitely hot enough for me. Another guy got the hottest level and ended up running his head under the sink. They aren t joking when they say it s hot.
Great food served hot and fresh. Had the flirty fries and it was a good sized portion. Chose the 4th level of heat, was perfect
As soon as I walked in, my man (I think Scott?) met me with a kind greeting and a compliment, then went back to talking to the other customers in what looked to be great lunchtime conversation. As I left, a see you again soon and a have a great day. Genuinely felt like I was walking into someone s house and they were serving the food, just awesome service. The food was good too, great poutine, shockingly spicy and I love spicy food, hit the right spot for sure. A little salty on the seasoning, but that s probably because it was mixed with salty gravy as well, so I ll probably go with a sando next time. All in all, a great first visit, and I ll be back for sure.
Smaller restaurant with big flavour
Fantastic chicken place! The fella who helped us was very personable, friendly and helpful. The food was EXCELLENT! They have no-spice-all-flavour chicken for those who don t like the heat. Good quality food for a good price. Will definitely be eating here again!
Been coming here since it opened. Service is exceptionally friendly and the chicken is the best I can get in SP so far. Dont order the fries though, theyre pretty dry for me but the rest of my family says they like them so idk.
Got the sandwich a total of 3 times. A pretty good spicy chicken sandwich with one big flaw. The chicken was dry everytime. It could be being left for a bit too long in the fryer. The bread tasted very good and the spice was there (although the blend was overly salty and concentrated heavily on the exterior). If you can make the chicken juicy and more tender easy 4 stars if not 5.
Junky little extra space on the side of a building made into a place to hold a deep fryer and a couple very cheap tables and chairs. The deep fryer is there only appliance. The menu has fries, chicken tenders and a chicken sandwich. The tenders are ok but nothing special. The fries are brutal, just some cheap McCain crinkle cut fries they charge way too much for. 3 chicken strips is 14 bucks by itself. Can of pop is 3 bucks. 6 tenders, 1 fries and 2 pops was 45 bucks. Even though its a very cheaply put together fast food place its not what I would call cheap fast food. Not to mention the food truly isnt very good. Being from Nashville I would appreciate if they took that part out of the name because that is not a representation of how we do chicken.
Exquisite. Made with love, and I hope that continues beyond the store opening. Got excited for the next bite when I was still chewing the last one. Will definitely be back.
Chicken taste good, best chicken sandwich in the Edmonton area.
Phenomenal service and the food was incredible. Do yourself a favour and dont ask about the real spiciest option.
Tried the flirty fries and they were amazing!!! Highly recommend this place!!!
Better then Popeyes
As advertised
Very solid chicken, the spicy chicken sandwich was very tasty, filling, and good portion size. Friendly staff and good service.
Best fried chicken in town! The chicken sandwich is to die for and the spices are just right. So fresh and so juicy! The macaroni salad didn t disappoint either.
The food is yummy & the portions are HUGE. Even still, I do find it on the pricey side for a burger & fries. I wish there were more options for ordering as there are currently only 3 things on the menu. We got our chicken MILD and it was really good, so I imagine if you enjoy hot sauce then the increasing heat scale is good as well. I will say that the chicken did sit heavy in my stomach. Like I could not do anything for 2-4 hours after eating ... as if it was Thanksgiving dinner!
Fresh, hot, delicious. Large portions. But no adequate indoor seating. Food
Best chicken burger, I like hot but the med was perfect amount of heat ! Will definitely be recommending to my friends and family.
Great sandwich. Probably wont do the scorching hot next time.
Food is good but messy. The service not so good. Restaurants wasn t busy and we ordered 3 sandwiches and 3 fries for take out. Came home and only got two sandwiches and an item we didn t order. Also no way to tell which sandwich was what spice level. Had a coloured tooth pick in the sandwich but nothing to tell us what the colours meant. The staff wasn t very talkative and simply pointed to menu when we walked in. Nothing to help you learn a new restaurant. They got a bit of work to do to improve service and with such a simple menu it shouldn t be hard to get an order right.
Best chicken sandwich I have ever had, and I have had a lot. The chicken tenders are next level. They are plump, juicy and crispy! Lastly, the service was impeccable! Scott knows his chicken, is passionate about the business and he has amazing customer service every time we visit the flirty bird in Sherwood Park.
Just stopped in and grabbed some sandwiches. I got the medium flirt and my partner got the hot flirt. He does very well with spice but it was so freakin hot, almost on the verge of unbearable. The medium is more of what we would consider hot. The sandwich was still excellent, and we will 100% be going back but definitely for the mild! Breast was huge and juicy, toppings were great quality. The comeback sauce was also delicious! I think its worth the price. Huge pat on the back to you if you can handle anything past hot!
Top notch chicken sandwich. Ill be back. I like the simple straightforward menu.
I had the hottest sandwich and ended up having to remove all articles of clothing later to expel my demons. The food was super delicious though and the portions were generous. I ll be back but with maybe a medium heat intensity to make my body not suffer.
Had such a good experience here. The guy who took our order basically gave us table service. Served our food, checked in, brought us take out containers, and even gave me a great suggestion for the leftover tenders (tortilla wrap!) such a class act. One star off because the entryway and surrounding areas were dirty. I ve been noticing that a lot about restaurants lately. Magic erasers folks! Anw. Will gladly be back. Chicken portions were so good for the price and piping hot.
Little Messy but worth every Penny
Best chicken sandwich, great and quick service
Craving fried chicken and had to check out Flirty Bird. Ordered one of each and got the ScorchinFlirt sauce on the Sando... Chef warned me itd be hot and he did not disappoint me! Definitely the spiciest, hottest sauce Ive ever had - I couldnt stop eating the sandwich though. The tenders and fries were tasty, too. Heading back soon, but Ill probably try a medium sauce this time so I dont sweat so profusely at the dinner table. Parking: There are a lot of parking spots around
Little place to grab some amazing food!! It s comfort food. Small menu but it hits all the right places. This is without a doubt my new lunch favourite!! Staff is awesome and very interactive. Knowledgeable and cares about what you want and are looking for. Don t go crazy on the spice! Hottest in town (we aren t kidding!)
Amazing Hot Chicken sandwich, went with the medium spice level and my lips were still numb after. The owner seemed like a solid guy too, shot the breeze with him about music for 10 minutes while waiting for my order. Will definitely be going back.
I will say I never go out and order chicken anything because I have it so much at home, but this was an exception. I have been suggested this place many times by my partner, but for the reason listed above I didn t go right away. Do not wait to go, this is your sign to try it. The sandwich I had was DELICIOUS. I got the sando with mild seasoning, firstly this thing was HUGE. $14 (?) for the sandwich but definitely worth the price tag. Fantastic chicken, great bun, good pickles, and personally as a coal slaw hater, I didn t mind it s presence and it went well with this sandwich. Only con is that this location was very small and didn t have a washroom, which was needed to wash my hands after my scrumptious meal. Will be back !! but probably to a different location with a bathroom.
Amazing for those who like and dislike spicy foods, the chicken is not greasy as you would get at any fast food restaurant, the guy working there was super sweet. Decent prices and theres live music every weekend with the perfect sitting area.
Great for a quick meal and very tasty food
All I can say is meh. Not the best and not the worst.
Excellent food, and the one FB location I am aware of that has parking!
Poor guy was the only one there, the other w employees called off. He had a line out the door, whipping out orders that were perfect and not a second overcooked. So good.
Been to the restaurant on 124 st in Edmonton and it was fantastic. Service was great and food was prepared even better. This was far from the case at the Park location.
I tried Flirty Bird out for lunch today, and was not disappointed. I asked what I should order and the person who was working (I believe by themselves), asked me how hungry I was, and then recommended the chicken tenders. There are different levels of spiciness. The three chicken tenders that came with my order were very large in size and coated in some really great tasting seasoning (although I thought it was may be a little heavy handed). The sauce that came with the tenders was enough for all 3, which was nice, and had the perfect amount of spice for my liking. The star of the order for me, though was the house made pickles that come on the side. They are so delicious! They could have given me just a box of those pickles and I would ve been happy! The customer service was fantastic. He was very knowledgable about the menu, and very pleasant to talk to while ordering and waiting for my food to be made. I definitely recommend and I will definitely be back. The reason that I gave only four stars for the food was because I also ordered fries which were OK but they re just your typical fries. I think they did have some of the seasoning that s on the chicken tenders on them as well though, so there was some decent flavour. The coleslaw was not cold either and I think it would ve tasted better if it had been.
Scott made my absolute day!! Thank you for the amazing service and friendly conversation. Perfect location too!
Stopped by on a whim and ordered a sando and the crinkle fries. The chicken in the sandwich was very fresh and nicely done. Crinkle fries is interesting as its not found commonly in other restaurants. Scott, who was working there, was really friendly with all customers. Highly recommend this eatery.
Huge portions and great taste. I recommend 100% is you have a hunger that needs fixing. Ordered a Sando and fries and could barely touch the fries as the burger was so big.
Food was absolutely amazing and the guy running it was a super chill guy. Sando with with the highest heat highly recommend
Really solid chicken sandwich, great staff. Highly recommend trying it out
Maybe, no it WAS the greatest chicken sandwich of my life. When it was recommended that I start with the medium hot chicken sandwich for my first time, I was hesitant. I do suicide wings, Ive done the one chip challenge with that bazillion scoville death nacho thing. When I go to Indian restaurants, I ask the server not to tell the kitchen that Im white. I like hot food. And man oh man... the medium made me start to sweat. Consider yourself forewarned. The chicken was super tender and very juicy. The coating was crisp, spicy and amazing. Their fries were good (a single order can EASILY be shared for 2 people for a nice meal.) The bun was super soft and was quite nice, but was about the only part of the meal that wasnt quite 100% -halfway thru the sandwich, it was barely holding together. While I enjoyed it, I think maybe a pretzel bun or something a little tougher would hold up better as this one kinda disintegrated, but hey... if sauce isnt dripping down your arm from your hand to your elbow, you might not have a great sandwich. And this was a GREAT sandwich. Definitely recommend and will be back. Just wish they had gluten-friendly options so I could go with my wife and son. Also wish they had beer, because that would be perfect to go with the spicy food. (I hear that is coming soon and theyre just waiting on the government red tape to clear so they can have their license. But still. Go. Just go. Worth it. Totally worth it. PS -Die Hard is a Christmas movie. There, I said it. Its on the record.
Honestly disappointed. Heard great things and was excited to try it but we felt the chicken tenders had a very sandy texture. A lot of batter on the outside and not as much real chicken. Fries were decent, I may try the chicken burger next time, but the tenders for the price ($60 for 3 ppl) were not for us.
