I've been wanting to check this place out for the longest time. My Mr. dined here a couple of years ago and a fan of their chicken tenders. I was stuck on Raising Canes for a while so time to try something new. This chicken is free range with no antibiotics. They sell salads, sandwiches, tender meals, kids, and cater. We ordered:-2 Snack pack: 4 tenders, fries, drink-Side of City slawFor the sauce, I got the Lemon Thyme Ranch and my Mr got the Buffalo Bleu.The service was super fast and they brought out our meals right away. What I love about their tenders that it's super moist, right size, breaded with great seasoning and not greasy. The fries were well presented! Hints of grated Parmesan cheese sprinkled on the fries and garnished with parsley. The best shoestring fries I've ever had. Here's the best part of the tenders, it didn't need sauce, dipping enhanced it. I can say that I'm already a fan and anticipating my next visit. My next eats are the sandwiches. So glad I paid them a visit!

We came here on a Friday evening for dinner because I just wanted something simple to eat but also I was craving a fried chicken type of sandwich. Surprisingly it was quite empty, they're only a couple of folks here and I was a little bit surprised. Anyways the cashier was super friendly and really nice and the food was pretty damn good. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich and the flavors were amazing. Lots of sauce, which I don't mind because I'm a saucy type of person. I really like their french fries too and I love the fact that they put Parmesan cheese and parsley as well. My husband had the blue cheese sandwich and he said it was good but he kind of wishes it was more of a blue cheese taste versus something a tad sour. Other than that the chicken sandwich is pretty good and again, I was surprised that it wasn't as busy but I guess there are a lot of competing restaurants around the area. I do recommend this place if you like fried chicken and a fried chicken sandwich because the sandwiches are really good especially the spicy one.

Ive always been on the fence about City Bird. I had previously had them at their original location, and like others felt it wasn't the best value. This new location recently opened on my side of town so I decided to give them another try. I utilized the drive thru, which had a long line but was moving efficiently. This location definitely still has some growing pains to work out. I ordered the 4 tender box with city sauce, and a lemonade. I arrived at the window to pay and the lady took my card. She then handed it back and handed out my food. She then gave me loose napkins and silverware, which she handled with the same gloves she was taking everyones payments with. So right there they need to step up their cleanliness precautions. My drink was not provided to me so I had to ask again for it (it was indeed on the receipt). The employee was friendly. Heres where I am torn on the food. I really like the FLAVOR of the chicken tenders and prefer that, the fries and lemonade here. I do agree with others though, that the cost is a bit higher than nearby competitors. I feel those competitors have a more meaty/substantial, yet still quality chicken tender for the same price. The tenders here are quite small but do not lack in quality. These guys have a better selection of sauces and do offer sandwiches and salads which is nice. Hopefully they can work out some of their opening issues and maybe improve quantity/or lower price otherwise they will not be able to compete in this market.

An absolutely perfect opening. Anderson has been patiently waiting for City Bird to open for months! It's finally here y'all! In the rain, the manager/owner was out talking to each and every car in the drive through, and there was a lot! He was SO kind, so funny and overall made our stop wonderful. I'm a huge fan of the OTR location and fell in love with City Bird down there. As the Eagle's sister store, you can bet this chicken is amazing. On the smaller side but once you know what you're getting into, there's no going back. Y'all can quote me on this: best fries in existence. They have a perfect mix of sugary/salty/parmesan herb topping. These fries are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Fresca is perfectly fresh and the Lemon Thyme Ranch dipping sauce is the cherry on top. Man, take all my money City Bird!!

Been waiting for City Bird to open. Have had it twice now sharing others food. The tenders are small and a little spicey. The fries with herbs are ok at best. Pricing is high. 9 bucks plus for 6 tenders and fries with 1 small dipping sauce. 50 cents each for more. I prefer chick fila or tender town and even raising cains across the street.

I really wanted to love this place. It's local, the ingredients list is impressive and healthier compared to most. I even have a built in safety net for most places...I'm the 'one' who orders a salad at most of these fast food chicken establishments, whether local or national chain. That being said, even grading this one 'on the curve' doesn't work. I ordered their salad. The only one on the menu; sounded amazing. Lettuce, kale, cabbage, red quinoa, carrots, raisins, almonds, with their chicken tenders. We got home, and I opened the box...not only was it merely lettuce, kale, shredded carrot and red cabbage (no quinoa, raisins, or almonds to be found...I checked thoroughly...) but the lettuce was brown, and the (3) tenders were tossed on top...full size. This salad was 12.00.Here's a hot tip, City Bird: how about, for 12.00, you include all of said ingredients that you advertise, and perhaps entertain the idea of slicing the tenders for the salad. They make 'that other chain' down the street look like the Jeff Ruby of chicken places. (And THAT 'other chain' isn't a local one either...)So disappointing. The coleslaw is good though. Worthy of one star. The other star is for the actual chicken tenders. That's where the buck stops. (Wishing it would've stopped before I spent the 12.00)

I'd heard about Citybird before, mainly the location in OTR, but never had the chance to go... Until they built a location in Anderson township, and since I work in the area, that gave me a perfect opportunity for lunch there. I'm glad I went to because it was really good.As the name implies, the bird is definitely the word here. Specifically, chicken tenders, all cooked to order and very tasty. I opted for the 4 piece tenders with fries and ordered a side of city slaw as well. They give you a choice of house-made sauces and I went with the lemon thyme ranch. The tenders themselves were so good that they didn't really need the sauce but it was really good too. The slaw was definitely homemade and very fresh. The fries were very good too, with just the right amount of seasoning, parmesan cheese, and parsley. Good place for sure and I'm glad I gave it a shot. Great food, friendly staff, and they really practice the whole social distancing to keep everyone safe. I have a feeling I'll come back sometime.

I've been here 2-3 times and haven't had a bad experience yet. Yes it's a little bit pricey but so is every other restaurant nowadays. This place has such a unique taste compared to competitors and everything is always so fresh. Fries are delicious, tenders are always crispy and fresh, workers are always friendly and the restaurant is always clean. 10/10!

Tell me how it takes 20 minutes to get 1 sandwich when I'm one of 2 cars in the drive thru line? I order my food quickly then pull behind the only other car in the drive thru as they are getting their food. They don't drive away though, instead the employee is almost hanging out the window having a full conversation with that car. I originally thought they must have a big order and they're waiting on something but after 10 minutes they drive off without getting anything else. I'm already a little annoyed but I pull up and the same employee that helped the previous card greets me and charges my card and I still leave a 20% tip. He said my food will be right out and he steps away. I sit there for another 5 minutes. At this point, another car pulls up behind me and a different employee pops his head out the window and greets me and tries to charge me again (presumably thinking I was the car behind me). I tell him I already paid and I wanted my food. He looks a little confused but he steps away and hands me my food. I check it before I leave and it's cold! So my food was probably ready for awhile but I still had to wait 20 minutes to get it. I regret leaving a 20% tip and probably won't be back honestly
