Sunny newcomer Honeybird is ready to rule the roost in La Cañada, serving up comfort fare from a Southern-inspired storefront right on Foothill Boulevard.
The former Anthony's Food & Wine has been completely rethought, with room now for nearly 40 guests across situated in a casual space meant for relaxing over plates of fried chicken. A long bench anchors the far wall with a variety of two and four-tops, while understated barn chairs and a wrap of wainscoting at the counter keep the place consistently rustic.
Chef/owner Phil Lee's menu is anchored by fried chicken, of course, served piecemeal or as larger set dinners and takeaway picnic packs. You'll also find a variety of sandwiches (a rethought filet o' fish among them), salads, sides, and pies for lunch, with a lightly expanded dinner and brunch menu to boot. Honeybird also enjoys an active ABC license for beer and wine. The full menu is below.
