Driven by chefs. Inspired by the bird. If chickens could play a game of “Never Have I Ever”, ours would win hands down. That’s because our menu is exclusively made up of locally sourced, “never-ever” chicken – meaning it’s antibiotic-free and never frozen! You also get delicious food, served quick! We put the bird in the spotlight with grilled or house-breaded tenders, hand-cut fries, lots of made-from-scratch sauces, salads and house-made churros. In addition to a few tap beers and Boylan’s fountain soda, we also brew house-made Nitro coffee, tea, and keg cocktails.
