We’d like to take a minute to speak to some of our new customers and followers.

We’re a different kind of restaurant.

We choose to be small. We choose not to have a phone. We choose certain ingredients over others.

We didn’t just open a sandwich shop — we started a different way to eat.

By offering foods cooked in beef tallow, we’ve stepped away from the current industry standard of seed oils and gone back to what was commonly used for generations.

Our roast beef is not a cold cut made with added water, sodium solutions, preservatives, stabilizers, or ingredients designed to extend shelf life and standardize texture.

It’s pure beef — roasted in our oven every day and sliced fresh to order.

Our chicken is hormone and antibiotic free, and we choose to source quality ingredients that meet the standards we’d want to feed our own families.

We make our own dough from scratch, allow it time to properly age and ferment, and bake our bread fresh every morning.

We cut French fries by hand all day long.

All of our recipes are ours and have been developed over the years through inspiration, experimentation, and trial and error.

Our staff is intentionally small to keep payroll manageable and our prices competitive.

We partnered with DoorDash so those who can’t make it down can still enjoy our food delivered as quickly as possible. They’re not perfect, but for now they’re the best option available.

Our food is meant to be served quickly and as fresh as possible — that’s one of the reasons we don’t take phone orders.

When choosing delivery, we think most people understand there’s always some compromise compared to eating it fresh in-house.

Thank you for supporting what we’re building. We’re open from 11-7 today .

Who has the best will always be subjective and debated. In a city with so many great options for sandwiches, pizza, and food, people will always disagree on whose is better. However, what can’t be debated, where facts stand alone, is whose is the biggest. At Beef & Bird, we don’t want anyone leaving hungry.

Come see what it’s all about…

Some of our bread products we make every day in house. We think this makes a difference in our sandwiches. Notice the slight blistering of the crust indicating a well aged dough. We hope you enjoy 😊

We have decided that we will now be using our own rolls for all of our sandwiches. Since the beginning we were using the Heidelberg rolls for our chicken sandwiches, but from here on out they will be made with ours .

The Cold Shoulder is now available on DoorDash…

Simple ingredients. Real flavor. Done the way we think food should be done.

Order now or stop in and see what all the talk is about.

The Cold Shoulder Sandwich

A generous portion of our house-roasted beef, cooked medium rare, served chilled and sliced thin, piled onto our fresh artisan bread with organic spring mix and sliced red onion.

Choose your cheese: Swiss or pepper-jack
Choose your spread: Blue Cheese Horseradish or Caramelized Onion Mayo

Want to make it your own? Add-ons like our House Celery & Long Hot Giardiniera are available.

And because we want feedback… anyone who gives The Cold Shoulder a try gets a handful of our beef tallow fries on the house.
