Bird Rye - Ashland

So! The food was amazing and inventive! Gluten free friendly and accommodating!Having worked in food service in both front and back of house my heart went out to everyone working in their last night. Seriously understaffed and just keeping it together. It took all I had not to jump behind the counter and help. Like! For real!!

Awesome Customer service.Closest you are going to get to southern cuisine.Sarachi ranch is A+I only wish they would speak on special. I saw them on board after I checked out. Would have likely purchased more if they informed me. You don't see board when you walk in. Once you turn around you see it.

Came in recently and the popcorn chicken was amazingPlace was slammed and bree the bartender still was very attentive and friendly with everyoneFood was hot, drinks were coldDefinitely will be backbecause the menu was enticing, and I want to try moreIf you find yourself in the neighborhood you should come get great service and food

Excellent hole in the wall vibe. Big wooden bar, lots of whiskey's to choose from. The southern food menu did not disappoint. There was a special with Wing/Breast fried chicken plate with a side and house made potato roll for $12! I was actually worried about how inexpensive it was, but it was really high quality food executed extremely well. Perfectly seasoned, super juicy buttermilk fried chicken, incredible collard greens loaded with delicious pork. My wife got the mac n cheese which was also good but not amazing. We started with the pimento cheese hush puppies which were ridiculously tasty and rich with a yummy dipping ranch(? . The only thing about the place I didn't enjoy was the completely disconnected music playlist that was super bizarre ranging from Metallica to Taylor Swift. It would have been nice to feel as though you were at a place where someone was curating that vibe as well...like playing blues or old country or jazz or something cohesive. Anyway, I would eat there again tonight if I was in town another night.

The food selection is impressive, offering a much wider variety than typical bar food. They have an extensive drink menu, and the atmosphere is quite cozy. I will definitely return. Let's support local businesses!
