Thunderbird Fried Chicken in North Devon

Ruby, Glenn and Josh had outstanding service, we were a big group of 10 and they couldn't of been more attentive and made sure our order was completely correct before we set off in the cold wet weather to our caravan to enjoy our feast. They laughed at our rubbish jokes and engaged with the small humans in the group who enjoyed ordering confidently with them. Highly recommend will be back

Awful waste of money Burgers are two tiny chicken strips in a bun with some salad. Chips with a meal were forgotten. Upon complaining I was told "sorry this has happened before" This will not fill up my kids and will now have to feed them again even though I have just spent £50 on meals! Would give it a miss!

We had the ultra bucket. Upon checking in other branches it contains more items including churos and coleslaw That aside it was very good and superior to the other food offerings at Ruda

I don’t usually write reviews but thunderbird is simply a MUST TRY for people visiting croyde. We wasn’t aware of it at first as it’s based on a holiday park but after asking a few of the locals of best places to eat, we had heard thunderbird come up a few times. From the minute we got in the staff were incredibly attentive and helpful when asked about things on the menu. We were also incredibly impressed by the open kitchen layout where we could see the staff checking the chicken thoroughly and enjoying themselves. We had the baconated meltdown and bbq fries after being suggested so by the helpful Josh on tills. It was simply fantastic and the quality of the food cannot be understated as shown by the pictures I’ve added on my review. All people are welcome to the restaurant despite us thinking we weren’t allowed at first due to it being on a holiday park , but the staff ensured us every one is welcome. Overall, a must try when visiting croyde.

Whilst visiting ruda this week we’ve tried many food places but the most notable being thunderbird where we were greeted by friendly staff and had some great food !! Lucy and Bailey were especially great with us and spoke to us whilst are order was being made. We had reluctance at first to try due to the relatively high pricing but once we tired the amazing food and experienced the great atmosphere within the restaurant, we continued to eat here numerous times on our visit despite the high pricing.

Terrible food served raw chicken in a wrap the chicken was completely raw all the management could say was sorry but they didn’t check any 1 else food they just kept serving

Tried this eatery while at Gold Coast Ocean Fest and I cannot recommend enough! Food was amazing- hot and delicious! Especially chicken wings and bbq burger! Team is super friendly and seems to love what they do. Special mention to Josh and lady behind the counter on Friday night- being mega nice to bunch of intoxicated and hungry people! Well done, definitely coming back.

We loved the food and presentation and the customer service was exceptional, we were served by a trainee and a young woman who was supervising her, and doing a cracking job. A very positive experience, thank you.

Lovely bucket of chicken to share with the family, really nice succulent pieces and good chips. Sauces were good as well.

Don't bother wasting your hard earned cash on this over priced food. 2 measly goujons in a burger for over£7. Go to south16 and get a proper chicken filletburger for less.

Awful waste of money. 4 tiny burgers with 2 small fillets in them for £7.50. What an absolute rip off. Not enough to fill up the kids. Will not be back.

This was a real treat. If you wanted to eat in the area was modern and clean but the chicken was the true star. Really surprised at the size of the chicken strips and they tasted fab, certainly gives KFC a run for its money.

If you love kfc, walk past kfc and come here . Better tasting food also not as greasy. Clean and tidy inside. One of the highlights of visiting the beautiful beach that is croyde :)

Had the wings, tough, dry, overcooked and not much meat on them at all. Staff didn’t seem to care at all when I raised this with them, won’t be back.

We used Thunderbird recently at the 02 and loved it so we were happy that one had opened here. The shop was spotless clean, the staff were helpful and the food was absolutely piping hot and tasted lovely. I recommend the bucket meal and we also got the loaded fries. I think that thunderbird is better that the usual big chicken brands!!

The first time I visited this outlet, it wasn't until I got back to my tent that I discovered that the chips had been literally smothered in salt, to the extent that I had to brush it off all sides of the chips before they were edible. The second time I specified "no salt" when I ordered, but that really shouldn't have been necessary. Also I found the coating on the chicken was soft, rather than crispy which was a bit disappointing. The prices were substantially higher than the old chip shop at Ruda (over £10 just for a chicken burger and chips) but at least the chips were better quality when they weren't coated in salt.
