Jay Bird’s Huntington Beach - Chicken restaurant in Huntington Beach - 303 3rd St Suite 101, USA

Best southern style chicken sandwich in OC. Also they're sweet tea is the only real sweet tea in California.

First time at this location and the service was wonderful. Staff is very friendly and helpful. My favorite is the chop - I would have liked for the chicken to be hot or warmer. Easy parking in front.

The food was pretty good. The batter they use on the chicken was just right and allowed it to be crispy. The spice levels are accurate. I really liked the fries. Here’s my gripe: They need a better process for moving customers along. I went at lunch time and they had one girl taking phone orders and trying to take orders of the people in line. I saw at least 3 other people working in back including the owner. She was obviously overwhelmed and he just moseyed around not doing much. Luckily I had ordered ahead so I didn’t have to wait any longer. I was inline no joke 10 minutes and there was only 1 person ahead of me. They should have a separate line for online or phone orders.

This is the best chicken sandwich I've ever eaten. The food took a little time but it was clearly cooked to order. The breading on the chicken and the seasoning really blew me away. Love the slaw, pickles, bun, and the fries too. The sauces were good but nothing too special. The big sexy sauce had a franks red hot base and the comeback was essentially a jazzed up ranch. I wouldn't bother with either. Their ketchup was surprisingly good too. No joke I'd pay $20-25 for the sandwich and fries I ate. ambience was fine.

Let me start by saying, the food is pretty good! The chicken sandwich is big, juicy, and spicy (you can pick the heat 🔥🌡). The tenders are BIG and the macaroni and cheese 🧀 is really good. Nice location right around the corner of Main St. That being said, no adults seem to work here and the teens that are working enjoy hanging out with their friends as much as they enjoy working. Makes it harder for customers to get good service if employees are "busy" and the food is not cheap. #googlelocalguides #jaybirdschicken #jaybirdshuntingtonbeachca #chickentenders #womenwhoguide #mainstreethuntingtonbeachca #chicken

Disappointed in our takeout order. It was messy and everything appeared to be tossed in a box with minimal chicken. The kids did not enjoy the Mac and cheese. It tastes more like macaroni in a béchamel sauce with no cheese flavor. The chicken, what little we got, was flavorful.

First time visit... We came in late so they were kinda short on some of their items. Kudos to Eric for doing an excellent job of serving and explaining all the options . We're old so not digging the music selection.

I decided to try this place for dinner on a Saturday! I placed an online order and it took about 30 minutes for my food to be ready. Jay Bird's wasn't busy but the surrounding Huntington Beach area was packed so parking was not easy! I had to be one of those people who pulls up on the curb and runs in quickly to get my food (sorry!!). I got the Junior sandwich, spicy fries, and mac n cheese. The mac n cheese was the highlight for me, it was so creamy and flavorful. The fries were okay, I enjoyed the spices but the fries themselves were a bit hard. The chicken sandwich was okay, I've had better. The crust was falling off the chicken and the meat was a bit tough. I'm glad I tried this place but I'm not sure I'll be back.
