Crispy Bird Indianapolis

Went here for a late lunch and was seated immediately. The waiter was fantastic - knowledgeable, friendly, and very attentive. We shared an order of the crispy skins (watch out-they pack a bit of a kick!) which were great. I ordered the fried chicken breast with seasonal slaw and house pickles. The chicken was very good, as were the pickles. The slaw wasn't my favorite, but it was well done and well balanced. I'm sure a more refined palate would appreciate it a bit more than I did so I don't want to give an unfairly low review. The hashbrowns were also quite good and large enough to share. Don't miss out on the house hot sauces though! I'm not big on hot sauce, but I really liked both of the ones they brought to the table. Now for the real star of the show: dessert. If you go here you NEED to order the pavlova. I know that you might not want to take a risk on something so unusal, but do yourself a favor and DO IT! It was soooooo good! It was far greater than the sum of its parts. I shared it with a friend who admitted that he usually hates every one of the individual ingredients that make up this phenomenal dessert, but somehow combining them all together creates some type of culinary magic that you really need to experience at least once in your life. So truly, if you order one thing at this restaurant, make it this.

Went for lunch on a Saturday and they were empty at opening so everything went quickly. The staff was super friendly and cool and check-in quite often. I had the chicken sandwich accented with some of their homemade hot sauce and I absolutely loved it. The chicken was as expected - juicy brined interior with an extra crispy and flavorful fried exterior. The coating had the perfect amount of saltiness (not too much) to go with the chicken and when I added on some of the fresno pepper hot sauce was just perfection. The pickles (which I assume were house-made, forgot to ask) completed the picture with a great bite and fresh flavor.
