Thirsty Bird

Recommended by a friend who lives in Newtown. It DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Delicious crunchy juicy chicken, friendly and prompt service. We had lunch and bought takeaway for dinner. One can never have too much good fried chicken.
Will definitely be back when in the area!

Absolutely amazing fried chicken. It remains number 1 on our list! All food we ordered were amazing. The waffles and the tater tots were amazing sides to the chicken. Fantastic sauces too! What we would like to see in the future are better trading hours, or a much cosier dining experience! But 5 stars for the quality of the food!

OMG. Best deep fried chicken and chicken burger in Sydney! Weekly specials are so yummy! Love the waffle chicken burger. If you love deep fried chicken and burger, this is definitely the right place for ya.

One of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had anywhere in the world. Crispy, juicy and tender it’s simply phenomenal. Comes with a wide variety of sauces. Burgers and sandwiches are also popular. Such great quality fried chicken at affordable prices is simply a steal.

Super duper crispy coating on the exterior; juicy and tender on the interior. If you're after a cheat meal or just some fried chicken after a night out on the town, this is the place. My favourites are their "Stinger" burger, "Nuggets", and "Mash and Gravy".

I ordered four pieces of hot chicken and blue cheese sauce. The chicken was super crunchy and still juicy, there was a strong amount of heat and this matched perfectly with the blue cheese sauce.

Next time I'll just do three pieces, four was a bit much but I was not complaining getting through the fourth piece. Friendly service and plenty of hand sanitiser available.

Great fried chicken and pretty reasonably priced. The sauces that were supposed to complement the chicken weren’t that great though just eating the chicken alone is pretty great already. It’s a pretty small eatery so most people seem to get takeaways.

Best guilty pleasure around :) I love their fried chicken, usually get 3 pieces with blue vein cheese which comes with a few pickles as well. Wavy fries are awesome too. Last time I actually got grilled chicken thighs burger with macaronie, cheese and backon on the side and it the fact that I had a few beers before might have helped but that burger was delicious!!! The place has a few small tables and chairs so for lunch I get take away as the area is not so glamorous but the food is worth stopping by for.

Amazing fried chicken! Some of the best I've had. Great spice, hot and crispy even when delivered, and not greasy (it's fried chicken - so it's not grease free!). So good!

Absolute beast fried chicken. This is the best one in Sydney without a doubt. Very crispy, very delicious, very best, much wow! The only downside is the place is very small and quite uncomfortable to eat in. They do have 2 tables outside now which is quite good, but this place can get pretty busy pretty quickly. Definitely try this place if you like fried chicken

I had the best chicken burger from this place! The size was huge and the sauce comes with the coleslaw in the chicken burger was amazing. It really highlights the tenderness and the crispness of the burger. I absolutely enjoyed their chicken burger, so far is the best Burger I've tasted. My partner ordered chicken wings but unfortunately they tasted abit plain, the chicken were not marinated very well so still have the gamy taste, but we managed to eat them with the dipping sauce. Another highlights from this place is the waffle fries. They were a supreme! Overall I rate this place 4.8/5😀

Best fried chicken I've had. It takes awhile for the food to come out, but they have lots of takeaway orders and the food comes out piping hot.
The portions are super generous. We didn't think that we ordered enough, but we did. The Frank's hot sauce is amazing. There's limited seating available, but turnover is fast.

Quite possibly the best Southern fried burgers with most likely the best waffle fries in town. Hit this joint up when it's not busy and enjoy yourself.

I just can't wait to go back. Greeted with big happy smile. The food was absolutely incredible.

Had 4 pc chicken late-night. Must say it's one of the best I've had. Limited seating. If you've been craving chicken, you have the option to order 1pc for 5aud. You'll not regret.

Great american style chicken - in burgers or fried. And waffle fries! They have Dr. Pepper too.

Great burgers. Good service and didn't wait long. Waffle fries are the bomb. ✌

I haven't lived in Sydney, or Australia for that matter in over five years. I live in the Southwest USA now. Today I am quietly huffing and sulking my way through a random craving for thirsty bird fried chicken. Absolutely incredible fried chicken. I miss it. I should have went more often. Thanks guys. I hate you.

The chicken is not oily and being a fan of pickles, I love that they serve the chicken with sprinkling of pickles. I did like the chicken sandwiches as well, had their special with the Sriricha sauce last time there, I would have preferred more sauce but I know some people complaint there put too much on. The waffle fries are great, and I have not been disappointed eating here thus far.

Absolutely delish, great food spot after a night out or if you need a greasy fix!
