The Maine Sunday Telegram has reviewed Dizzy Bird in Biddeford.
Together, in a vibrantly painted space, they produce some of the area’s best spit-roasted meats, including juicy, crisp-skinned chickens that gleam as they rotate, and tender, pink roast beef (on Little Spruce breads, both also make excellent sandwiches). Vegetarian dishes are a surprising strength at Dizzy Birds, everything from a turmeric-and-curry pumpkin bisque ($3.75) to sweet, complex vegan baked beans and a Tex-Mex-style tofu sandwich that is too good to miss. But frankly, service is a train wreck, with ticket times inching perilously close to 30 minutes even when the dining room is nearly empty. Tom Peacock’s best advice (and mine): Order ahead.
I had the same experience with slow service when I visited. Also, the meager serving of chicken I got was overwhelmed by the overly dry brioche bun that I believe they baked in-house at the time. If they’ve outsourced that now, it’s got to be an improvement.
