    We have always been happy with our Redbird food and dining. Last night was a total exception. We received 2 of our 3 dishes after 50 min of waiting and waited another 5 for the 3rd dish. Nothing was hot. Our wait staff didn’t check on us for 30 min. Came back and said it was coming out-which it didn’t-and then disappeared again. When the manager discovered the problem, we were offered a free round of drinks. It was too late. I hope you can figure out the problem.

    At this point, we're sort of "regulars," dining there once or twice a month. The service was very good, as usual. And, for some reason, the food was particularly excellent that evening — perhaps due to a different cook? At any rate, we will continue to come back again and again. We love Redbird!

    Redbird far exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious. Service was fantastic. We had the Sonoran burger, buffalo chicken sandwich, grilled chicken sandwich, and the street corn. All was cooked perfectly and delicious. And the citrus avacado vinaigrette was amazing.

    I had the crispy shrimp tacos and 5 classic wings with Honey BBQ dry rub. The wings were to die for! I loved both dishes. Redbird Scratch Kitchen has always served very delicious food. This was the 4th or 5th time I have eaten here. I recommend.
