NOT ALL CHICKEN IS CREATED EQUAL.

Our Bird Bites are hand-cut from premium chicken breasts raised without antibiotics or added hormones.

The difference? Smaller, more naturally sized breasts that are tender, juicy, and free from that unpleasant “woody” texture you sometimes find in grocery store chicken.

No artificial preservatives. No unnecessary additives. No fillers found in many nuggets. No shortcuts. EVER.

Every piece is hand-cut, perfectly seasoned, and fried exclusively in 100% pure beef tallow. No seed oils. No compromise.

We take pride in doing things differently, right down to the smallest details. Because when you care about what goes into your food, every ingredient matters.

Come see what all the talk is about.

Well, let’s try this again!

BEEF & BIRD IS HIRING!

We’re looking for a few good people to join our kitchen team, preferably with experience working fryers.

We’re a small team that takes pride in quality, consistency, and attention to detail. Our kitchen operates with specific methods and procedures, and we have high standards for everything we serve.

Experience is important, but so is attitude. You must be dependable, willing to learn, able to follow directions, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.

We’re looking for people who take pride in their work, respect their teammates, and understand that doing things right matters more than just getting things done quickly.

If you’re reliable, hardworking, and willing to learn our way of doing things, we’d love to hear from you.

Please message us with your experience and availability.

In a perfect world, Beef & Bird would be open seven days a week, with a full staff and extended hours to serve you whenever the craving strikes.

Unfortunately, we’re not quite living in that world just yet.

This week, our staff and ownership have some important personal matters that require our attention. As a result, we will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday and will reopen on Thursday.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support. We never take any of it for granted.

On another exciting note.

We’re working hard behind the scenes to create a new Beef & Bird website that will offer online ordering, convenient pickup, and delivery options beyond DoorDash.

We’re excited about what’s ahead and look forward to finding new ways to serve you better.

In peace and gratitude,

The Beef & Bird Team 🥩🐔

We’ve taken the step to make our own beef tallow from our beef trimmings. We use this tallow to mix with butter to brush on our breads. It does impart a umami flavor.

It’s taken a while to really get this process down, by a slow render and double fine filter we think we have created some pretty good chemical free beef tallow . We have a small amount we can offer to our customers. We do recommend keeping this in the refrigerator while at home and take it out as you need it. This will allow it to last a lot longer. We are selling 16oz for $15.

Coke or Pepsi?

We all know soda isn’t exactly the healthiest thing for us. But at Beef & Bird, we’ve made a conscious decision not to carry beverages made with high-fructose corn syrup.

We look at it as a small step toward harm reduction. But just as importantly, we believe it tastes better!

Some of you may be old enough to remember the famous Pepsi Challenge, when Coca-Cola and Pepsi were battling for the title of king of the colas.

Interestingly enough, during that same era, both companies began moving away from real cane sugar in favor of high-fructose corn syrup. Somewhere along the way, we think soda lost a little of its magic.

Well, we’ve worked hard to bring something back.

There’s just something about drinking an ice-cold soda from a glass bottle. Combine that with real sugar, and we think it brings back the original “POP” in soda pop!

Now you can enjoy both Coca-Cola and Pepsi in glass bottles, made with real sugar, right here at Beef & Bird.

We’re curious what you think. Does soda taste better from a glass bottle? Can you taste the difference between real sugar and high-fructose corn syrup? And the real question, Coke or Pepsi?

Let us know. We’d love to hear your thoughts!
