My own personal review, this place is easily in my top 5 fried chicken places ever. --
The Eagle made its debut in the Short North this summer. It’s a beer house with a serious commitment to food, and there’s a great deal to love about its edibles. The best place to enjoy said edibles is probably from one of the high booths that lines the establishment’s walls. They’re handsome and dark and luxurious looking.
