    Loaded nachos and appetizer sample platter with chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, and sweet potato waffle fries
    Brooke W.

    Birds is a classic. Wouldn't order the nachos again, but the sweet potato fries with Peruvian aji sauce were to die for

    Chicken Pot Pie
    Sara K.

    Lively spot in the Franklin area. Seems like it could get busy before/after UCB shows. Fun but casual atmosphere. Onion ring tower was done well with 3 generous sauce sides. Good mozzerella sticks and cornbread. Pot pie was pretty good. Rotisserie chicken was also pretty good and came with solid sides. Tried it for dine LA which was a great deal off their regular menu. Would come back again

    I have been wanting to go to this place Birds for like literally 2 decades. Well, I finally made it there yesterday. Better late than ever. Birds has been around for over 30 years. Since 1994. It truly is an interesting, cool,iconic, lovely, lively,, place with good vibes, food and ambiance. Also very CLEAN.My son and I got there around 5pm to have some dinner. We were greeted by their sweet, kind, humble host Scott that had a nice smile... and he walked us to our table immediately. Didn't take a minute before our server Gita D. approached us and took our order. I ordered their 1/2 all dark Rotisserie chicken with few of their sides on the side. Broccoli, Mac N Cheese, Cesar Salad, lavash and Corn Bread. My son got almost the same thing except 1/4 all Dark meat with one side. We shared the salad and the corn bread. Food was very tasty, except their Mac N Cheese. It was too watery, bland, lacking in seasoning, and it was not cooked right. Didn't agree with my palate. I have had better Mac N Cheese before in other restaurants. But the one I make is better than the rest. Moving forward to the service: Gita was nice, but her customer service was not all that. She only took our order and didn't see her again until it was time to pay. I mean she walked by our table at least like 7 times, and not even once checked up on us to see if we needed anything, or is everything ok? She was just there waiting for her shift to be over. It was very noticeable. She didn't even bring our food to our table. The host Scott did. Maybe they should switch positions?? Shout out to Scott for his hospitality. He needs a RAISE!!! They have a gorgeous looking Full BAR area with lots of tables and chairs for thirsty people who love and adore good quality alcohol/beverages of all kinds. Nice hallway, with clean bathrooms, and parking is another story. Good luck in finding parking. Cute patio with bright lights with full of nice people carrying conversation, eating, drinking and having a good time. I mean you only live once so.... 4 stars for the service and their parking. Will be back again to try other entrees & to have a drink. Will post pictures of BIRDS and US soon!!

    Had a great experience here last night after seeing an improv show a couple of blocks away! I had here several times after seeing UCB shows but it's been a hot minute and it was just as lovely as I remembered! The vibe was fun on a Friday night and it was busy but not overwhelming crowded. The ambiance inside was quirky and upbeat. My friend and I joined a large group and they were able to accommodate extra seating for us. We sat outside which was perfect since the weather was so pleasant and we were able to people watch a bit. The service was very friendly and amicable. I wasn't hungry so I didn't order any food, but it was great to see some vegan options on the menu (although I do wish there were more!). I got a margarita which was delicious and had the perfect blend of mixer with tequila. It was just strong enough to feel a nice buzz and the rim was perfectly salted. Parking was a little tricky but I was able to find a spot on a side street not too far from the restaurant.

    Cider on tap baby!

    Was exactly what we needed as we awaited a UCB show. Beer and cider was great. Vibe was hittin and service was fab. Just as I remembered from when I used to live in L.A.

    We always drive by this place and it's packed with people. Maybe it's the beer or maybe it's a sign food is good. The place itself is dark inside. Nice decor. Didn't particularly like a sign that they have on the wall that states something about loose women. Sure the sign comes off as funny, but might make some women upset. Especially now a days. Our server was good. He seemed swamped as he had all the tables and a Buser to assist. No one else was there helping. He still remained attentive which was amazing. That's a lot of pressure for one person to take on and give excellent service. We ordered fried pickles. They were some of the best I've ever had and their sauce was on point. Lots of dill. I had the French onion soup. Not a big fan. Too much bread in the soup. You can also taste allot of butter from them toasting the baguette before they put in the soup. The soup itself didn't exhibit much flavors. The mozzarella wasn't very good either. Not sure what brand they use, but it's definitely not of high quality. Also, this is one of the most expensive French onion soups I've had. For that being said...definitely not worth the price. My colleague and I both had burgers. Yes, I know we go to a chicken place to get beef. The buns were dry. Meat was cooked perfectly, but had no salt or any flavor. Just blasé. The Mac and cheese that came with my burger was exactly that. No effort, no wow factor, and no seasonings. Just pasta, cheese, and a sprinkle of bread crumbs on top. Box Mac & cheese is way better than this...lol. I tasted my colleges baked beans. They were good with allot of smoky flavor. Not sure if they were homemade. All and all I don't really know what the buzz is about either this place, because if you truly had people who had a good pallet this place probably wouldn't be open as long as it has been. Not a fan and would only recommend the fried pickles with maybe a beer or two.

    Proof of purchase. Purchase refunded.

Our waiter was personable and took our order quickly as well as consistently replenished our drinking water. Everything was delicious and had its own unique flavor, from the chickpea fritters which had softness and crunchiness, the goat mousse with sweet and savory sauces and the crumpets and crackers; then the goat belly with a deliciously crisp skin and soft inside and intense flavor (but not gamey) with a rich sauce, the steak was yummy and precut, and the pork shank which was epic! I loved all the greens and pita to wrap the pork and goodies into! We ended with a bday scoop of mango sticky ice cream which was completely different than I've had before and yummy.

With things like goat curry and gluten free options, you gotta have rice. Second, they ran out of goat curry. I came all the way from San Diego to try it. Oh well. Excuse to come back. I loved every bite I tried. There was nothing that disappointed. The standouts were the green beans, the Brussels sprouts that came with the chicken, the pork shank and the tuna and crunchy quinoa salad. I'm still thinking of that crunchy quinoa. We had no room for dessert. So maybe next time we try the goat curry, get the quinoa salad again and get dessert! The service was great too. Attentive but not overbearing. It's a cute restaurant both inside and outside.
