Dirty Bird - Morgantown

Coming from someone who's live in Georgia and has had the pleasure of tasting some of the best comfort food in the U.S., I have to say that Dirty Bird has some of the best macaroni and cheese I've ever had.

Stopped by for a midweek lunch.  We had originally stopped on the previous Friday but they were closed due to some water issue from an upstairs apartment.  There is not a lot of seating inside.  I think there are about 7-8 tables with some of them able to seat four people and other some four people.  We noticed they did a good amount of carry-out while we were there.  Parking was a bit of a challenge as all I saw was street metered parking $1 per hour.  The Dirty Bird is also located on a one-way street and there are other one-way streets in the area as well.  We parked on Walnut Street which is just past the eatery, we turned right and parked on the left side as this is a one-way street as well.  This place gets fresh chicken delivered every day and they advertise that it is halal as well.  Please know the hours they are opened can be affected by the number of people who come in on a particular day.  They close once they run out of chicken.  Pretty sure most items are cooked to order so it can take a little while for your order to come up. Our visit lasted one hour and twenty minutes.  We got a four-piece fried chicken and a Dirty Bird chicken sandwich.  The fried chicken was lightly breaded and tasted good but the Dirty Bird was fabulous.  It had two thick chicken breasts which were breaded on a biscuit.  It has brown gravy, and egg, bacon, cheddar cheese and sausage gravy on it.  The sausage gravy was excellent and the cheddar cheese was great on it as well.  The picture I posted with this review says it all.  If you are a first timer then know that you order at the counter and they will bring it to you when it is ready.  There are some menus at the counter to look at before ordering and they do a pretty good job of cooking the orders in the order they receive them so you can feel a bit rushed if there is a line.  Even more so if you are by yourself and want to eat inside, especially, if there is a table open when you arrive.  This is the first place I have been to in a long time where the food was topnotch and everything went smoothly.  Would I go again?  Absolutely!  How far would I go out of my way? 1 hour (maybe a little further)

Really good fried chicken. You will wait 15 minutes or so even if no one else is there, but that's because they make everything fresh. Very much worth the wait.

Dirty Bird chicken was the best chicken I have had in my whole life and I have lived from coast to coast. The mac cheese and dirty rice were phenomenal. I highly recommend it!!!

Dang good chicken sandwiches! Healthy sized portions, great flavors and friendly owners/staff. Tell your friends and try ‘em out!
