Not to be confused with Earl’s new ‘Birdies Eats & Drinks” — Birdies Charcoal Grill has been slinging their iconic chargrill beer brined chicken since early last year. They’ve made their name known for their Peruvian marinades, eclectic side dishes and world-travelled chicken sauces.

Truthfully, everything on their menu is worth the hype. You can sample their Peruvian Birdies on their own, or in one of their juicy handhelds. The Original Birdies Sando and Birdies Chicken and Gravy Roll are two of many bites on our must-try list.

You can also add a little extra spice to your meal with their sides. Their lineup boasts delights such as Corn Bread, Sweet Pickle Coleslaw, and Arroz Verde (Peruvian-style rice with cilantro and spices), to name just a few.

As for sauce, if you’re a fan of spice, you’ve come to the right takeout window. Their spicy Birdies Bastes will have you coming back for more (and reaching for a glass of water).
