Absurd Bird

After my recent disappointment of trying fried chicken and waffles at another outlet, I was recommended this spot by a friend.

Naturally, I went for the fried chicken and waffles with maple syrup. The portion was large, which was a pleasant surprise. The fried chicken was excellent - lightly crunchy coating with succulent juicy meat. I did feel that the flavours were quite light, which could’ve been more powerful. However, this complimented the fluffy yet crispy waffles that had a touch of sweetness - it wasn’t overpowering and was supplemented nicely by the maple syrup; which had a smokey taste.

I ordered some pineapple juice, which was tasty, but as usual, excessive with ice.

The gentleman serving was nice and helpful; decor and layout of the establishment downstairs was nice and clean, but a little dark for my liking. I would likely return for the waffles to measure their consistency, but if there’s any other places you guys would recommend, let me know! 8/10.

Great bottomless brunch! 🍾
The bottomless brunch deal is great, for £35.00 each you will get 2 course and a side dish plus unlimited alcohol for 1.5 hours (you can choose between bubbly, beer or Long Island ice tea).

The staff is welcoming and very kind, the service quick, glasses always topped up in time and the food tasty!
There are also options for vegans and vegetarian 🌱

Ps: the sauces are amazing! Try the clue cheese one

We had a great time 🎉

Discovering this place has been a great surprise! It's an American food (chicken) restaurant. The place is small, so it's better if you book your table head and the atmosphere is amazing! The staff is very welcoming. We had spinach and artichoke dip (and a lot of melted cheese), fried chicken, chicken and waffle, chicken buns and everything was delicious!!!! The portion are very filling and prices are average (10-12£ for main). We will surely come back here!!

First impressions were positive; friendly service with a smile and humorous, and the overall decor was pleasing to the eye. Unfortunately, that’s the only positive mentions Absurd will get from here on out.

The homeslaw didn’t taste all that special. The chicken tenders were standard, the buffalo wings were ok and the Mac & Cheese, which I was looking forward to the most, was disappointingly bland.

The cheesy chicken and waffle was missing that extra special flavour, although I think it simply doesn’t make a good combination anyhow, and the burger was again very bland, missing that special wow factor.

It’s a real shame as Absurd looks like the real deal and the service was very good but the one word that sums it up for me is ‘bland’ - the lack of punch/flavour overall really let them down.

Delicious crispy and not greasy fried chicken.  Fantastic staff. Great prices. Ineould eat here over KFC any day.

We had the 4 piece bucket, the pieces are huge and pleanty for two and it comes with chips and gravy which are both delicious.

The wings are great too we went for bbq and they we sweet, tangy and crispy. I would definitely head back.

The only reason I haven't rated this 5 stars is because the chicken breast piece was a bit dry.
