    Pre-ordered online a whole smoked turkey for Thanksgiving. Superbly prepared and exceptionally moist and exquisitely delicious! Plus Bird Dog did ALL the work. Simple pickup for me, exactly as scheduled, with no waiting in line.

    The Dog House Sandwich is our favorite in addition to the fall off the bones juicy tender ribs, sausages, the moist chicken drums and licking finger good sauces. Great spot to enjoy some BBQ treats. They always offer military discounts. Thanks!

    I had never been to Bird Dog before. My mom lives near this location, and wanted some tender, fall off the bone ribs. With her in hospice, and her dexterity not being very good, it is harder for her to eat foods where you need your hands. The gentleman who served me was willing to remove the meat from the bones for her to be able to eat easier. The service, and the food were above and beyond. Everyone there was exceptional, the food is delicious... I don't have the words to describe how heartwarming it is when, in a time where life is so difficult for so many people, such consideration and great service remind me that there are plenty of reasons to smile, even in times like these. And having delicious barbecued meats and great food definitely helps too! :) Thanks for making my day, you all made my experience awesome! Expect to see me again, that is guaranteed! ^-^

    From the moment we walked in, the staff at Bird Dog Restaurant went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their warmth and attentiveness set the tone for a fantastic meal. We both ordered the half chicken, which was tender, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly flavorful. My side of potato salad was creamy and tangy, and the fried okra—made fresh on the spot—was hands-down some of the best I’ve ever had. My husband’s meal came with sausage, beans, and macaroni, all of which were equally delicious. Each bite was a testament to the care and skill that goes into the cooking here. If you’re looking for hearty, comforting food served with genuine hospitality, Bird Dog Restaurant is the place to go. We can’t wait to come back and try more of their menu! Thank you for a great dinner!

    Just had Bird Dog for the first time. Food was GREAT workers friendly and helpful. Had the smokehouse sandwich & fries. Need to go back to try other meals and sides, if they're as good as the smokehouse, I found a new place for lunch and dinner at times during the month! Definitely worth the drive from Yoder, Colo. Will definitely be going back!!!!
