Pan and her team at Juju bird served up the most delicious food! They had so many wonderful options on their menu and our guests kept talking about how good the food was. I would highly recommend juju bird for those looking to have great tasting food, a larger way of options, and great efficiency for serving!

I got the Nashville Hot sandwich and fries. The chicken was pounded thin and cooked crispy. I ate it here and right from the fryer it was hot and good. I can imagine if you have to wait, it might dry out, but fresh was great. It's hard to judge different people's spice preferences, but for me, it could have been a little hotter. But the flavor was there. A huge portion of fries, too.

As a visitor to Grand Rapids, I had to check out their Downtown Market, and I was amazed by the variety of food choices in the area. This place stood out to me as the best. I have tasted many amazing Chicken Sandwiches being from Chicago and this place can easily rank among the best in the Midwest. I love spicy food so I had to get the Hot Chicken Sandwich, which comes with fries. It was so tender and juicy and it was a big chunk of chicken. You can see it was freshly made/made to order. Also, I tried their chicken special of their leg and thigh with parmesan garlic sauce on the side for 5 dollars. It was good too. The sauce was excellent. The service here was amazing with the cashier and chef being patient and diligent with my questions and making my food. I will definitely come back here again whenever I'm in Grand Rapids. Definitely a must try when in town!

Got a thigh and drumstick combo for lunch with fries and loved it! Fries are hand cut so best eaten immediately and the breading on the chicken was some of my favorite I’ve ever had. Juicy and good flavor on the inside too! Very much enjoyed my experience

First time experience here was great. The kids behind the counter were nice and helpful. Food was made pretty quickly. 10-15 minutes. We ordered boneless wings and a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. ***WARNING*** The Cluckin hot is not to be taken lightly. I Learned the hard way and ruined my stomach most of the day. One bite and it stung my tongue immediately. I don't regret it as the wings were juicy and big-sized pieces but I only ate 1 and couldn't go on.

First visit and the chicken tenders were delicious! The woman at the counter was very helpful. The fries are great, seasoned well. Next time I need to try the sandwich!

The best place to grab some quick chicken! They have everything from sandwiches to just plain wings but my favorite is the Birdie Cone. They take a whole bunch of chicken, toss it in a sauce of your chosing, and throw it all into a huge waffle cone. It’s almost enough to split! Juju Bird has incredible sauces and I haven’t tasted one that I don’t like yet.
