Phat Birds, originally a crowd-favorite pop-up food truck, responded to diners' cry for more when they opened their brick-and-mortar location. Now housed in a charming building crowned with a rustic steel roof, the eatery still doles out its signature fried chicken to hungry customers on its light-strung patio. Inside, the joint's chefs dip their chicken pieces in homemade batters and spices, with styles ranging from honey-dipped to Nashville hot-fried to traditional, before frying them to a satisfying crunch. The fried legs, thighs, and wings are then served in combos with sides like spicy coleslaw and chicharrones-topped baked beans simmered with bacon and brown sugar.
