sneakybird

Sneakybird is all about their food being baked never fried. My friends, kids and I had a yummy experience. This place is next to Hash Kitchen in the Verde at Cooley Station. Plenty of parking in the lot up front. We were greeted when we walked in. I like the big menu on the side of the wall, good variety to choose from. They have chicken tenders and chicken wings and you choose the seasoning rub, coated in panko or nekkid and sauces as well as tater tots and sweet potato fries. They also have other items like a sandwich, flatbreads, salad and a wrap. I ordered the chicken tenders battered in panko with garlic butter parm rub with teriyaki sauce. And the wings nekkid in the salted pepper rub and brutus sauce. They all came out in a timely matter and we took it to go to eat at the small playground in Verde so the kids could run around. I wouldn't say the chicken and tots were extra crispy like you would get if it was fried it but they were not soggy and they were delish. Chicken was juicy, not dry. I would eat here again!

I recently ordered chicken sandwich and tater tots meal to go. I was less than impressed. First I watched the young employee who took my order head back to the prep/ bagging area and start handling food without washing hands or putting on gloves before handling the food. Second observation I watched another employee prepare the chicken and tots, place the food in the oven and then proceed to grab a broom and dust pan and start sweeping the floor. To be fair the employee did put on gloves before handling the cooked food from the oven. It took over 20 minutes to receive the meal from the cashier. When I got home (5 minute drive across the road behind Fry's) my wife was extremely disappointed. The sandwich bun was toasted black and the tots burnt hard and crunchy. At the time I ordered my meal there was only one other customer. What is really sad is that my wife and I have been coming here since the grand opening. The quality of service has gradually declined. We do like the concept on how the food is cooked(baked and not greasy) but it will be sometime before coming back.

After a late grocery shopping trip, decided to pick up something quick to eat. Seen this chicken place near by. The staff greeted me immediately and provided some great suggestions on how to order. All meals are never fried instead baked. Wow what a great restaurant concept! I'm here for it because it did not disappoint.I picked up a chicken sandwich for my husband, some wings, and tenders. All were great. No dry chicken here!Loved the different variety of sauces. My favorite was the ranch and honey mustard. My to go order was ready within 10 minutes of ordering. The restaurant was clean and inviting. I hope this place stays in the area. I'd like to come back again.

Stumbled on this looking for something tasty, fast, and kid friendly. I was pleasantly surprised but how good the "never fried" chicken was. I got a wrap with the garlic chicken and it was delicious. My son got flatbread and raved about it. Portions were sizable and price was good. Service was fine. Nothing amazing but not notable. The location is convenient and for an Arizona February evening the outdoor dining was perfect.

Service was fast and friendly. Got a few options to try and thankfully they had GF options. Chicken sandwich home style with the Q sauce, it came with tater tots. Q sauce was delicious, not hot at all but loads of flavor. Got an order of naked wings which were great and home style tenders had good breading. Got some Music City Hot, definitely scrumptious but hot after eating a few bites. Mango Habanero was instantly hot but not too hot and was incredible.

They were super friendly. The place was nice and clean. We are excited to try it but have to admit we were a bit disappointed. The food was all right not great..Our chicken sandwich had a ton of lettuce, a tomato and a couple pickles on it. You could pick a sauce. They put it on the side that even still very dry. I suggest getting a side of coleslaw like we did and replace the lettuce with the coleslaw. It helps believe me.

First, none of the chicken is ever fried here, which is their selling point. You can have a choice between honestly with is breaded but oven baked, or naked. You choose either of these styles (except the wings, which are always naked), then choose a rub. Next choose a sauce, which is served on the side. They also have sides, like slaw and tots.The four of us ordered:1) wings with jalapeno, garlic, ranch rub served with Sneaky Sauce (house buffalo). It was served with fresh sliced radishes, cucumbers, and carrot and celery sticks with a side of ranch dressing.2) naked chicken sandwich with garlic, salt, pepper rub served with folks gold sauce (house mustard barbecue) 3) homestyle chicken sandwich with salt and vinegar rub, served with Sneaky sauce4) makes chicken wrap with no rub and no sauce on the side (what was he thinking???)5. Tater tots All were really delicious. The chicken was surprisingly and pleasantly crispy--i didn't think it would be since it's not fried. The wrap was a little bland, but that's definitely not on Sneaky Bird--that's on hubby for not choosing one of the many rubs and sauces and just ordering it plain. The tots were crispy and yummy, too.The girl who helped us was very nice and helpful, describing how the food is served. The only thing that was a bit of a bummer was how loud the noise was in the kitchen, like really loud fans. It was hard for any of us to hear the girl at the register.This is a great place to get a pretty healthy and yummy meal . . Much better than typical fast food. I give it a thumbs up for sure!

This was a great spot with a nice switch up of the constantly fried chicken sandwiches. We tried each of the flat breads and the the island BBQ was leagues above all the others. There was however one thing there that was an unlike anything I have had elsewhere. They had a salted maple cookie that was the perfect firm to soft ratio. Not overly sweet and no over powering maple flavor with a savory salt finish.we ordered two with our meal...and 5 more to go! Highly recommend. I

This place really snuck up on me when choosing a chicken place for lunch. I heard it was good so I had to try it. First impressions were that it is clean and the service was friendly. The girl taking our order helped describe the menu and gave a great suggestion on the rub combo with sauce. We got tenders with fools gold sauce and Smokey honey peach rub. I really loved this rub flavor it had a perfect hint of smokiness. And the sauce was delicious! The w and Soko sauce was also ordered with the pepper salt and garlic rub. Those were good but not my favorite out of the 3 sauces. We will definitely come back as the price was fair and the food was great!

Great customer service. Very fun and yummy place to eat. The food comes out in a timely manner with great menu options. Indoor and out door seating.
