For example, fried catfish is a Southern staple, and The Bluebird mixes it up with their Catfish Hoagie: perfectly fried cornmeal-crusted catfish on a toasted roll with Sriracha mayo.

And the iconic Kentucky hot brown? The Bluebird’s “Blue Brown” is a revelation: turkey, bacon-tomato-scallion crumble, smoked Gouda sauce, and grilled French bread.

As far as fried chicken goes, the Buffalo Chicken Wrap features fried Marksbury Farm chicken, house-made buffalo sauce, lettuce, tomato, shredded cheddar cheese, and ranch. It’s pretty much the perfect meal.

For dessert, you need to try the shortcake: a buttermilk sugar scone, topped with seasonal fruit, fresh whipped cream, and a candied almond sprinkle! It’s absolutely delicious, and will totally remind you of your Grandma’s shortcake.
