Johnny Bird - Sydney

Ordered the Johnny Bird burger. Surprised about the portion size and I liked the spicy-peppery chicken burger batter. It is big but thin. Compared to my go to chicken burger, it’s quite good.

Some of the best fried chicken you will get! Fast service too

Found Johnny at the Grifter and the prices seemed a lot lower than on the in store menus that I could find on the internet which is good because the normal prices seemed crazy while the pop up prices were reasonable. The fried chicken in the burger was generally good with an interesting flavour like it might have been marinated before battering, something you don’t see often (or it was all just from the bbq sauce) but it was a very thin piece of chicken. I’ll be generous with the rating because it still seems some of the best fried chicken in Sydney but with Thirsty Bird opening a branch in Newtown, I don’t see any need to come back for this.

I like their fried chicken from when the restaurant was called Johnny lobsters. I ordered some takeaway (Ubereats) on Sunday night, and the food delivered after about 30mins (I was approx. 4K from the restaurant) The fried wings tasted good enough without dipping sauce. The batter with pepper was so crispy. The fried chicken burger was delicious too it had bacon inside!

DELICIOUS!!! The burgers are huge and juicy! The fried chicken is tasty and juicy as well! The fries (potato and sweet potato) are yummy. The mac and cheese is creamy! Great service and atmosphere too for a new place!
