Red Bird Sandwich Co.
Posted on December 11, 2023 by Ching under Food and Drink.
Brian and I finally got a chance to check out Red Bird Sandwich Company. It’s a new sandwich shop in the same strip as Yokohama (ramen joint) and Il Primo (one of our favorite coffee shops). We went on the weekend that Wichita got record snow so we lucked out and they weren’t too busy.
I got the unladen swallow, which is kind of like a pina colada on the rocks.
Brian and I started with the potato wedges and asked to sample some of their dipping sauces. I can’t remember what all we tried now but they were all very good.
SIDE NOTE: All the booths had power outlets which is great for someone like me whose phone is always on the verge of dying.
I ordered the magpie — basically their chicken salad sandwich. Chicken salad sandwich is my “go to” sandwich whenever it’s available at a restaurant/sandwich shop. It was good but the chicken salad club at Old Mill Tasty shop is still my favorite. Brian had the Cuban trogon. We also had the elote pasta salad which was excellent. Highly recommend! It’s a definite “must get” if you go.
Anyway, my drink was really good and the food was good. We told each other that we would for sure go back and put this restaurant in the regular rotation. In fact, we liked it so much that we tried to take Ramon there for lunch last weekend when he was in town for pickleball. Unfortunately, Red Bird isn’t open on Sundays, which seems crazy to me. We didn’t realize it until we were parked and tried to go in.
What is up with restaurants that aren’t open on Sundays? That’s when a lot of people actually go out to eat. I feel like they’re missing out on some good sales revenue by not being open. I guess that would be the one strike that I would have against them. While everything is good, their hours are kind of crappy right now.
I saw on the website that they would offer brunch on some special Sundays. I can’t wait until their hours are better. Either way, Brian and I will probably still be back between now and then. I think his parents would really like this place.
