Now Open!!We start with free range, all-natural chicken. It’s brined, dredged, then dropped into custom-built fryers. It's got a little kick and is served with our house-made hot honey. But we don't stop there - Southern-style sides grace our menu, craft beer flows through our taps, and Blues music pumps through our speakers. At The Eagle, it's all about flying right, eating bird, and curing the Blues.

Te raspberry gummy bear drink was delicious! They were out of tenderloin so that was a bummer for me. I had the chicken caprece instead & it was delicious. We got the Brussel sprouts appetizer. I do not recommend that. It was like a gallon of salt was put in it. Super cute place will definitely go back.
