Pretty Bird hits Sugar House and debuts new menu item

Pretty Bird

While many celebrated March 14th’s Pi Day (3.14, get it?) at their favorite pizza joint, those in the know moseyed on down to lower Sugar House and checked out the second installation of Viet Pham’s ode to fried chicken.

Pretty Bird Mk2 opens in the spot left vacant by the now departed Sampan (just over the road from Dee’s at 675 E 2100 S) and with it, a slew of changes for the business. First up, the inaugural location on downtown’s Regent Street will become a walk up, grab and go operation only. That’s probably for the best given the original’s microscopic interior.

The second major change sees a much teased new item finally hit the Pretty Bird menu. Eagle eye’d fans of the restaurant will now spot Crispy Tenders on the menu available as either three piece portions or as part of the new Crispy Tender Roll. Ala carte options start from $8.50 and combos $13.00. The new items are available only at the new Sugar House location at the time of writing.

If you’re new to the Pretty Bird phenom, which littered social media with crave worthy chicken pics for endless months – the restaurant is centered around spicy Nashville-style fried chicken. The restaurant uses some pretty pricey pressure fryers and fans swear it’s the best chicken in town. Pre-pandemic thronging crowds lining up out of the door at the downtown location suggest they’re not wrong. Pretty Bird Sugar House should be open 11-9 daily. Expect crowds.

P.s. if you’re obsessed with fried chicken sandwiches, and have a guilty fast food interest like I do – you’re probably aware of the chicken sandwich war being waged in the franchise world. Check out our sister site Menu And Price where I’ve rounded up the best fast food chicken sandwiches.

  1. Your site is so littered with ads I can’t even find the address of the new Pretty Bird location. Did you even include it in the article?

    1. I’ve added the address now Scott. As for the ads, they pay the bills, sadly the site wouldn’t be possible without them.

    1. Hi Eric, I cannot confirm the Pretty Bird number I am afraid. I am unsure if they have one for the public.
