Birdcall opens second Valley location in north central Phoenix

• The Seventh Street restaurant is its second in Arizona, following the Scottsdale location that opened last year.

What I ordered: Since I'm in the area a lot, I've stopped by a couple of times.

• On my first trip, I ordered the Rancher, which has a bacon-and-onion jam with white cheddar and their "bird b-q" sauce.
• For a side, I got the tater tots with their specialty seasoning.
• Last time, I went with the Southern, a fried chicken sandwich topped with pimento cheese spread and coleslaw.

The verdict: Not bad. Of the two sandwiches, I liked the Southern better.

• The seasoned tots are a nice change of pace if you're bored with regular fries.
• Since I judge such restaurants on their hot chicken options, I'll have to go back at least one more time to try the Nashville Hot.
