Farmbird Opens 'Fast Casual' Chicken Eatery In Ballston Exchange

ARLINGTON, VA — Farmbird held a grand opening Tuesday for its third restaurant in the D.C. area and its first one in Arlington. The new restaurant is at Ballston Exchange.

Described as a “fast casual” restaurant, Farmbird also has eateries in the Penn Quarter and H Street neighborhoods of D.C. The Ballston location was designed by local architecture and design firm //3877.

“At Farmbird, we want to change the way that people think about chicken,” Farmbird says on its website. “By combining the rare pleasure of a perfectly roasted chicken with the bold flavors we’ve come to love, we hope to put a new spin on the nourishing, sustainable food we grew up eating.”

The restaurant said its chickens are “raised humanely on an all-vegetarian diet without growth hormones or antibiotics on regional farms in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.”

Farmbird's menu also offers tofu as a protein option for customers who are vegetarian or vegan.

The Arlington restaurant is located at 4121 Wilson Blvd #102B.
