If you’re kicking around downtown OKC and get a craving for some serious heat, Nashbird Chicken on the corner of 1 NW 9th Street and Broadway is the spot to hit. Right on the edge of the vibrant Automobile Alley, it sits in a killer location just a quick stroll from the towering Devon Energy Center and the historic, neon-lit storefronts that define the neighborhood. It’s the perfect place to grab a bite whether you’re heading to an OKC Thunder game at the Paycom Center or just wrapping up a walk through the nearby Myriad Botanical Gardens.
LEARN MORE about nashbirdThe menu lets you dial in your own spice tolerance, ranging from "Chirp" (no heat at all) to "Crazy Hot" for the brave souls who want to test their limits. Their jumbo tenders and hot chicken sandwiches are massive, crispy, and come served on standard white bread with pickles, just like it should be. If you want to mix it up, the chicken and waffles give you that perfect sweet-and-savory combo, and you absolutely can't skip the sides—the mac and cheese poppers and deep-fried pickles are legendary around here. Pair it all with a cold local craft beer or a sweet tea from the bar, find a spot on the patio to people-watch along Broadway, and you’ve got yourself the ultimate downtown OKC fuel-up.
