A true Atlanta gem! They got it all right. Where do I begin ? First, they have a free parking lot, so that's always a win in a city where that barely exists. Please be aware that's it's limited but enough. We came on a Sunday around 7pm. There were a few people there so we instantly got seated and had our choice of where. They do have TVs and the March Madness game was on with a captive audience. We ordered the half chicken with cilantro cream sauce, sweet lime bbq sauce, black beans, birria quesadilla and yuca fries. It was all AMAZING. And our food came out quickly after we ordered, as if they read our mind and knew we were on the way. The chicken was so juicy with flavor and easily fell off the bone. It pairs well with all of the sauces. The yuca fries were a perfect combination of crunch on the outside and soft on the inside covered with chunks of garlic. The yuca fries and cilantro cream are a match made in heaven. The birria quesadilla had juicy beef on the inside but a firm quesadilla to hold it all together, and the consumé dipping sauce was a complimentary addition. The quesadilla was good without it and great with it. The black beans were pretty standard but cooked well with a nice flavor. It was all stellar. I found no fault with anything we ate. Our waiter was attentive and very pleasant. This was a great place to have a great time. Despite the food being so great, it's a casually dining experience. The decor is fancy but you don't need to be. I love it here! read more

Went here Friday with some friends for lunch, and nothing we ate disappointed us; it was sooo delicious and service was fantastic! We had an assortment of appetizers (crab cakes, sweet potato bravas, jalapeño poppers); I had the chicken pozole and my friend had the kale salad and black bean croquettes as entrees. So delicious, and the sauces took the food to the next level. Service and the atmosphere were also great (everything was so cute, including the bathroom). One of the owners, Sean, greeted and seated us. Our server, Austin, was so nice, helpful with the menu & attentive. I can't wait to take my husband here! read more

Great food with inconsistent service. I really enjoy the dishes here. The jalapeño poppers, chicken tacos, and adobe citrus smoked chicken are standouts. They're consistently delicious. The only item I wouldn't recommend is the charred squash, which has never been enjoyable. I've visited several times, and the service is often just average. At times the restaurant hosts gatherings for various companies while still open to the public, which creates large, loud groups that dominate the space. I've also had visits where the server simply wasn't attentive. I usually overlook it because the food is so good, and I do like the relaxed atmosphere, but those big groups can make it hard to enjoy the environment. Even with the drawbacks, I really like this place and will keep coming back. One suggestion for management would be to replace the plastic to-go boxes and bowls. They can leach chemicals into food and are harmful to the environment. Modern paper-based options look better, perform better, and are safe for reheating. read more

This is a super cute little place that has great vegan options. I was able to chat with the Chef for a little bit and they do everything here with intention. The ambience and atmosphere is absolutely fantastic and if you have ever seen the movie birdcage this place replicates a scene out of the movie. There are feathers that are lights. There is tropical wallpaper. It has been done very well. I had an incredible salad and a cocktail with a friend and we sat on a patio with our dogs. What a great time I will be back for a happy hour very soon. read more

This place is amazing! Seriously delicious food, good cocktails, and great service. The space itself is cute and has a nice big patio. I ordered the Look at Your Pinky which is essentially an aperol spritz, and my group did the breakfast shot. Not my personal favorite but the bacon it comes with was cooked great. We split the chile lime street corn app which was good. I ordered the mojo tofu with a side of roasted squash. It was fantastic. The tofu was cooked perfectly, the sauces (pink sauce and cilantro cream) were delicious. The squash was perfect as well. I can't wait to come back! read more

Met a couple friends here for a weekend brunch. Food was delicious; we had the BEC, French toast, and the poached eggs. Good portions. Drinks were good. The coffee cocktail was less than desirable so we sent it back. Our server was nice, but after our drink and food orders, never seen again. We had to go in to order a different drink and eventually to receive the check well after our meal was complete. No refills, no check ins. Restaurant was cute and clean. read more

Birdcage in Grant Park is a stylish Latin-inspired spot that brings energy, flavor, and creativity to the table. As someone who has dined across Latin America and reviewed everything from beachside ceviche shacks to white-linen restaurants, I was curious to see what this Atlanta location had to offer. It's clear this place knows who it is, and it leans into that identity with confidence. Food I started with the Citrus Adobo Chicken and a side of rice. It earns a strong 4 out of 5. The portion was generous for the price, which already gives it a leg up on many places in town. The chicken was tender and the citrus really popped when wrapped in the flour tortillas. That brightness carries the dish. The only area where it could be stronger is the seasoning. Both the chicken and rice were good, but with a little more punch they could have been great. The real standout was the Birdcage Cobb Salad. This is a true 5 out of 5. It's layered with romaine, bacon, tomato, egg, cucumber, red onion, Chihuahua cheese, and pickled radish. What ties it together is the pear and sour orange vinaigrette. It hits every note you want from a salad--rich, fresh, tangy, and balanced. Whether you're in the mood for something light or something full-flavored, this delivers in every season. I also tried the Shining Starina cocktail. It was a bit out of my usual lane with the ginger-forward flavor, so for me it was a 3 out of 5. It's alcohol-forward and has a sharp ginger and espresso kick. Not my go-to, but for guests who like bold, spirit-driven drinks, this could be a hit. Their drink menu is fun and ambitious with names like "Shot, Eat, Mango Thing" and "Agador Spartacus," showing they like to experiment without taking themselves too seriously. Ambiance Birdcage has a playful and polished look. The pastel tones, mosaic bar, and soft lighting make it feel inviting but elevated. It's got character without being overwhelming. The space is ideal for everything from a casual drink to a dressed-up dinner. It's got that flexible charm that works for different occasions. Service Service was excellent. We were taken care of by Gemma, the longest-standing member of the team, and she was a standout. She was warm, attentive, and clearly experienced. She moved with ease and confidence and made thoughtful recommendations without overselling. Her presence alone made the visit feel smoother and more personal. Final Take Birdcage is a place that respects the flavors it's inspired by and serves them with a fresh, local touch. Some items could use a touch more seasoning, but the overall experience is flavorful, balanced, and full of personality. The Birdcage Cobb is a must-order, the cocktails are creative, and the service ties it all together. Overall: 4.5 out of 5 It's worth the visit, whether you're a local or just passing through. read more

I recently visited Birdcage, a Cuban restaurant, and really enjoyed it! The atmosphere was thoughtfully designed and full of creative details--birdcages used as chandeliers and feathers in flower vases added a fun, elegant touch. Their drink menu is packed with unique options, making it hard to choose just one. I ended up going with the hibiscus margarita, and it was both refreshing and flavorful. For food, we ordered the birria quesadillas, black bean croquettes, sweet potato bravas and grilled squash--everything was absolutely delicious except for the potato bravas. Those were okay but other than that no complaints. Great vibe, great service, and great food. I'll definitely be back! read more

Came here for ATL burger week which it was also Cinco De Mayo on a Monday. We got here at 6 before the rush, I could feel we got in right before the rush. They had a lot of staff, yet our server was rarely seen we were outside but I could see him standing behind the bar just hanging around. The food runners and bus boys were crushing it, to pay I just left my card out on the table and a food runner saw it, asked me "who is your server is it the white guy?" She seemed annoyed by him and knew he was slow, so the runner took my card to get it closed out. Their burger wasn't bad, but it was my least favorite of the 7 I tried that week. I like chorizo, but it overpowered the burger and that's all I could taste. We also had the special crawfish quesadilla, pretty good, just not that cheesy. We weren't getting drinks, but man are they expensive 15 dollars for regular drinks and 13 for non alcoholic. Those prices kind of irritate me. The ambience is pretty fun, like flamboyant Miami vibes. Bright colorful and fun. You can sit outside but the patio is no frills. Feel they could do something to make it a bit more welcoming, like flower boxes and table decor. I would try it again, I feel I didn't get their best that Monday of Cinco de mayo. I think a fun spot for young adults. Bottom line: really vibrant spot with good food and expensive drinks. read more

I am addicted to Firepit so I could not wait to try Birdcage. I visited on a week night. The service was fast, it was not crowded, and the ambiance was gorgeous. The star of the show for me were the crab claws along with the street corn dip and plantains. The garlic sauce with the crab claws were amazing, we even kept the sauce to use for other dishes! The tortillas that came with the street corn had the perfect amount of salt and crunch. Finally, the flaky salt on the plantains were incredible. I had the agave lime ribs and enjoyed them throughly. They were tender and flavorful. I'd prefer if they were a little crispy but that's just personal preference. I am not a spicy margarita girl typically but Birdcage got it right. My hubby had the steak and was just ok. We enjoyed the fish tacos and our friend had a salad that looked incredible. I cannot wait to return for more crab claws and try the brunch one day. See you soon Birdcage! read more

NEED to go back and try EVERYTHING! Yall. This place has everything that you'd want. Parking: there is a lot and street parking. Had no issues. Vibes: stunning funky interior with a great cozy patio. Neon, wallpaper, and feathers are a feature. Service: good, pretty attentive Food: ok wow. This all spoke for itself...still dreaming of the steak Jalapeño poppers: perfectly fried, EXTREMELY creamy, low spice, great flavor Ribs: my friend had the ribs and the bone slid right off. So flavorful and juicy. Steak: unbelievable. Flavorful. Perfectly cooked. I couldn't get enough. The sauces weren't even needed but were equally delicious. I cannot wait to get this again! Rice beans and plantains: fresh, flavorful, and perfectly paired to our entrees. We shared all three and that was more than enough for 2 people. Overall incredible experience and I want to try it all! read more

I came to this place after a visit to one of the Oakland cemetery festivals. It was within walking distance and had a patio that was dog friendly so we thought why not. I was very pleased by the menu options and the overall ambience was very relaxed and cute. I ordered the fruit parfait, which is on the brunch menu and one of the specials, the chicken crunch wrap. The fruit bowl was nothing really to rave about, I thought that the queso that came with that was a bit too cheesy and didn't blend well with the fruit. I tried the crunchwrap and it felt very heavy and greasy. It was loaded with cheese and it just had a very oily consistency. I may be back just for the vibe if I'm in the area but probably not the food. read more

ABSOLUTE GEM. Have been reading about Birdcage and we finally decided to go with some friends that had never been. We arrived and they had their own parking which is a Big Plus in today's world. As we walked in you could not miss the beautiful bar and the decor of the restaurant. Beautiful atmosphere. We decided to share a lot of food, as we always do. We ordered: - Red Chicken Tacos with the corn tortillas filled with chicken tinga and chihuahua cheese, then grilled and served with a consommé. Down right addictive. Could have had more. Rating 5/5 - Birria Quesadilla which was layers of Chihuahua cheese avocado, shredded beef, and red onion and sprinkled with cotija cheese and served with a consommé. I liked these more than the rest of the group. The consommé was maybe a bit bitter. I just started using the one that came with the chicken. Rating 4.5/5 - Off The Grill - Agave Lime Ribs(half slab) served with fresh flour tortillas and pickled red onions. The sauces that we picker were the Agave Lime BBQ and the Avocado/Tomatillo. I normally don't like ribs were the meat falls off the bone but this is one exception I will make. These ribs were awesome. The taste was something none of us had experienced. The bark had a perfect char. The sauces that we selected enhanced the taste ' more. Rating 5/5 - Chilie Lime Street Corn which was off the cobb served on top of the queso fresco, sprinkled with cilantro and tajin. It arrived with plenty of great tasting tortilla chips. The components blended perfectly. Another rating 5/5 - Coconut Cream Pie and Lemon Cream Pie. As it was 3/14 Pie day we couldn't resist. We tried very hard to get the price down to $3.14 but weren't successful! They arrived and were beautiful. We agreed the Lemon was better than the Coconut. We also agreed that that should have been served at room temperature so the tastes could be more apparent. Rating 4/5 Service was slow but it didn't bother us because we love to just sit and taste and talk. Atmosphere was awesome. Highly recommend. No reservations taken. read more

Dropped in for lunch on a Thursday and this spot did not disappoint! Tucked away but easily accessible with plenty of parking, this place is a hidden gem. Everyone was friendly and it was not super crowded. Decor was delightful and reminiscent of a bygone era. I particularly enjoyed the colorful ostrich feathers! Onto the grub... we ordered the kale salad and it was packed with flavor, albeit just slightly overdressed. The red chicken tacos were a simple presentation but again, packed with flavor. The consomme really set it off. The margaritas were delicious and not too sweet. The churros were a bit of a miss (they were served with caramel but also stuffed with it and over-sugared). I will definitely come back for brunch, as everything we saw come out of the kitchen was drool-worthy read more

I simply stumbled across this place while looking for a quick food option while leaving the zoo. The pictures of the food are what sold me immediately. Walking inside this place is so fun and inviting. The waitress basically recited the entire menu to us after seating us, which was nice of her but also a bit overwhelming. That moment aside she was very kind and attentive. I had the citrus adobo chicken with red rice and beans. The chicken was seasoned and juicy! The way it should be! The tortillas were also very good. 10/10 on the food alone. The waitress also mentioned the reasoning behind the fun decor, she said the owners inspiration was the actual Robin Williams movie "birdcage". I look forward to coming back again. read more

Our server Jackie was amazing! But even before that the hostess allowed me to wait for my friend and offered me some water which I really appreciate it. The ambience is very Florida art deco flamingos in all. I love that they have vegan options on the menu. My friend had a black bean croquettes and fried tofu, which was actually delicious! I had a type of taco which was amazing and so filling I could only eat half. She enjoyed espresso martini, and I had flavor of pineapple. Again, our server was on point. And the food was amazing. So glad that my friends suggested the spot. I definitely will be back to try some of the other things on the menu like the coconut cream pie. read more

I was so excited to try this place. I drove past it and saw the beautiful neon lighting and a coming soon sign and told myself to look up what was coming. The food was really good. It can take a while to be made but it wasn't a long wait. It comes out hot and fresh. And I'm sad I didn't have more time to enjoy myself there. We ordered a set of drinks, the street corn and red chicken tacos. Absolutely delicious. I personally would've liked a bit more spice to the food itself but still tasty regardless. They have a nice variety of hot sauces to add. The patio space has seating but no tables just yet but there is a good amount of seating. It makes for a nice date location or just to meet friends for some drinks. I can't wait to go again and try more food. read more

I would give this place a 3.5 stars if I could. Maybe it was the time of the night, but we did not feel welcome when we entered. It took a minute before we were greeted which was not good. Once we were greeted and seated off to the side. It took a good few minutes before we were greeted by our server, but after he did come, he was pleasant.
