The story
Tucked away on Lower Severn Street in Birmingham’s city centre, Bonehead has earned a devoted following thanks to its no-fuss, high-quality fried chicken and burgers. With a solid 4.6-star rating and tags like “hidden-gem” and “local-spot,” it operates with the kind of low-key confidence that rewards those in the know. The space itself feels secretive, according to creator Only Scrans, who calls it “the perfect pre-match spot” with a vibe that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something special.
The menu leans into bold, satisfying comfort food: Buffalo Chicken Wings, Hothead Strips, a Dragon Burger, and Nashville Fries are all singled out for praise. Only Scran notes that the food is “actually insane,” and the overall impression is of a casual, takeout-friendly operation that understands its audience. Whether you're heading to a game or just craving a proper feed, Bonehead delivers without pretence—just solid, craveable American street food in a spot that feels like your own discovery.
