I had the spicy chicken wings. I would add a photo, but the wings were so delicious I couldn’t stop myself from inhaling them. The meat melted right off the bone and the sauce was incredible. Chef was a really cool guy. Definitely plan on returning to this spot.

Saw a lot of good reviews for this place so I had high hopes. I ordered for pick up and received containers individually wrapped in plastic wrap so I had hoped the order was right since I didn’t want to have to unwrap each container in the car. Unfortunately, I got home to find no ranch provided with my onion rings as stated it came with on the menu. As a very hungry pregnant woman, I may or may not have a shed a tear or two after finding out I did not receive my beloved side of ranch lol. The fish was fried fine, good batter texture, but it really didn’t have any flavor, no taste of seasoning or salt or anything. I was hoping it would come with tartar sauce but it didn’t. To be fair, I guess the menu didn’t mention that it came with any sauce so that one’s on me. The housemade potato chips tasted good but were cut too thinly that I couldn’t use them to scoop the dip without them breaking every time. Burger was great though. Not sure how I feel overall.

Came in randomly. I had the Thanksgiving plate. It was delicious. I’m full. The pizza is crispy and delicious as well. Parking was right on the side of the building and they have a full bar.

The Bird. Used to be at a different location where it was called Willie Bird Restaurant. At the old location what I clearly remember es the fact that all of there Turkey based meals, whether an open plate or a sandwich the Turkey was carved off the bird. No pressed, sliced deli Turkey. I’m glad to say they have continued that practice at the new location on Sonoma Highway! I had the Turkey dip as an appetizer with their homemade potato chips. The dip was tasty, and the potato chips were a little bit greasy but good nonetheless.
I then ordered one of my favorite sandwiches in the world the Montecristo. I have had better, and I have had worse but I will still say the turkey that is carved directly off of bone and put onto sandwich will always be a better sandwich than one made with pressed sliced deli turkey. Not bad at all. Oh and a very smokey Bloody Mary topped it off. All in all…I’ll go back!

Haven’t been here for years, had the Super Bird sandwich, it’s my favorite thing to eat here, and I was not disappointed. Maxine was very nice, and very efficient. She was busy, but we didn’t feel rushed, and she came by several times to make sure we were good. She makes a great margarita, and an a better Long Island Ice Tea.

First time in Santa Rosa, first time to The Bird. Walked in and was immediately seated, the ambiance was perfect for my taste. From the beautiful bar to the black piano floor and they even have an actual piano in the building. The owner Joe came over and introduced himself which I appreciate greatly. He was a pleasure and informed us about the special. It was a fantastic experience and the food was to die for… smoked poppers, wood fire pizza, special was the halibut with home made pasta / pesto. Washed down with an old fashion. Drinks were always readily available.

The Bird is a great restaurant if you want to have Thanksgiving dinner. The turkey was moist and very good. Definitely worth coming if you are craving thanksgiving food.

After the closure of this celebrated landmark restaurant and bar on Santa Rosa Ave, the much anticipated return of The Bird, does not disappoint. Inhabiting the location of the formerly beloved Rincon Valley restaurant Roberto’s / Basilico; They kept some of the best aspects of these two great Santa Rosa institutions to craft a newer and better version of both. Retaining some beautiful hand-carved wood scrollwork from Willie Birds and their inimitable naugahyde booth seats, along with the classy white marble and mirrored-back bar of Basilico, the new location brings a welcome update to this exceptional local bar and restaurant brand. Familiar, friendly faces behind the bar and kitchen offer up a menu of sandwiches, steak, turkey, and pub fare. This new location brings back the excellent meal options that made this restaurant so popular for many years. Add to that a new, large patio and outdoor bar area- this is going to seriously up the ante for the Rincon Valley restaurant and bar scene. A short walk from wherever you are, or drive over and admire the newly paved parking lot (finally!) which clearly shows that owner Joe is serious about turning this place into a local destination for great food and drinks in a stylish, well-appointed, and expansive location – ready for another 50-year run.

The food….amazing. You have to get the jalapeño corn bread. I could’ve had this for dinner alone. But nonetheless I had a small piece and reveled in the turkey pot pie. You have to try it.
