If you're looking for a good place to eat off the strip (and not in the Chinatown area) this is definitely an option. Maybe 5-7 miles south of the strip near South Pointe is Mama Bird, and they know how to make chicken and waffles. The chicken had an excellent crunch while tender and moist on the inside and the waffle was soft but still firm enough for a good bite and chew. We just ordered the one dish to share but we were tempted to order more. This is a place we will visit again with the family cuz who doesn't like a good fried chicken?

Back again and still solid service and consistently tasty food. The bacon, egg and cheese everything biscuit was very good. Their drip coffee is very good as well.

Had to hollaback to remind everyone that yes, it is still bussin ;) The beef brisket hash was just as good as I remembered. The fried chicken was so well seasoned, the flavor is through the skin and meat. The everything biscuit was perfect and paired nicely with the seasoned potatoes. If you can't make in store, you can cater from them -- there's no excuse to not give em try!

Happy hour

Me and my gf stopped in here and the place was adorable !! The decor was sooo cute !! Our server Hailey was amazing ! We caught the happy hour I got a chicken sandwich slider and it was prob one of the best ones I had in Vegas. I will deff be back to this place again and again.

Do want good food served with southern style? Look no further than this restaurant with great service and food to match! You are greeted with a smile and hello, and given a menu with combos of tongue lovingly ' gut bustin' fare. The everything biscuit is home biscuit made with everything seasoning. The pitmaster scramble is packed with taste and is hearty! If you're hungry after that, you have a hollow leg. The French toast casserole is loaded with blueberries and a fiery hotlink. I had the peach apricot ginger beer that is refreshing with a tasty ginger bite. Also it's made right there! My advice, go have some "Slap yo' mama good" food with southern style service, music filling the air with good cookin', and decor that reminds you of an old timer diner. Then, grab a ginger beer bottle to drink at home, then bring it back for a $1.00 refund! Thanks again!

Came here with a group. The staff was very friendly. All of us enjoyed the food. I recommend coming and giving them a try.

The service was amazing, and the food was great! It's my first time here, but I'm definitely coming back to try more of the menu. Plus, the interior is super cute and cozy.

I love Mama Bird! It is a little bit far from my home so we don't go often. The foods here are worth to drive. The foods are healthy and fresh. I usually come here for breakfast. It was my first time for dinner. I tried Chopped Brisket Salad. It was very good. It looked small but I couldn't finish it. I definitely order it again. Burger and fries were good too. I like candy jalapeño. I love watermelon strawberry lemonade. I always order it when I eat here. Our server was good. The restaurant is nice and clean.

This. This right here, is everything. The butterscotch pudding is to die for.

Sometimes you just want really good Southern comfort food. I was really craving that, and wanted to try some place I hadn't been before. That's when I stumbled across Mama bird. This place is located in a shopping center, you really can't miss it unless you tried, they have great signage out front so it's pretty hard to miss. Inside, the place has great vibes. They do a great job of combining a semi rustic feel with a neat and contemporary eating establishment. I'm not saying this is like Cracker Barrel at all, but I am saying that they've got some barrels lining the top over the bar. Which is pretty awesome, especially when you see all of the bourbon beneath. I was really in the mood for some brisket, but I also wanted a salad. Fortunately for me, they had a chopped brisket salad that sounded amazing. I ordered that with the biscuit.. because, hey, if you're going Southern you got to have a biscuit. The salad came out in this small colander. The presentation was really awesome, but I was a little worried that that salad was not going to be enough to fill me up. Well let me tell you, they pack a ton of solid in that colander! Is instead of just throwing a handful on top, they spread it out throughout the entire salad. It was perfectly dressed, and had these amazing candied jalapenos. Next time I go I'm going to order more of those, they are so worth it! Of course, if you're looking for Southern comfort food, you absolutely have to have dessert. I opted for the butterscotch pudding. Let me tell you something, this is not your ordinary Jello butterscotch pudding. The stuff is made fresh, and it's made with knob Creek bourbon. Yes, you heard me right. This is definitely a boozy pudding. The only thing I wish it had, was a shot of knob Creek on the side. Maybe if management reads this they can make that suggestion to the bar. Anyway, that pudding was absolutely amazing! I seriously could have eaten two or three of those. All in all I was extremely pleased with Mama bird. This place has it all and I'm looking forward to coming back and trying it all in the very near future. Bottom line? There are a lot of good choices for southern food in the Las Vegas area. I can say I've eaten it every one of them, but for right now monow bird is in my top five of best Southern cooking establishments that I've been to. You really need to go try this one!

Chicken Tenders and made from scratch Mac and cheese.
Barry F.

Stopped by Mama Bird while visiting family in Las Vegas and wow--this place delivered. I went with the chicken fingers (had to try something simple), and they were outstanding. Super crispy, well-seasoned, and clearly not your average tenders. Big shoutout to our server, Agata--she was fantastic. Friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Service like that really stands out. Great food, great service, and a spot I'd definitely come back to next time I'm in Vegas. Highly recommend.

Brisket

First of all let's talk about Gio! This guy is an amazing server who continued to go above and beyond for us. And can we hear it for Chef?! More to come... When we travel to Vegas, we don't venture off the strip because we fly in. So when we had the opportunity from our road trip to explore outside and try some of the amazing restaurants we decided to try this place out. We called ahead to see if there was outside seating and that it was dog friendly. We were happy to hear that it was! Drinks- Watermelon Lemonade is chef's kiss! Everything is freshly juiced and made in-house. 10/10 recommend l. Starters- We started with the deviled eggs and they were delicious. The candied jalapeños were a great touch to balance out the savory. I'm normally a weakling when it comes to jalapeños, but the candied version was subtle. Get the 3 if sharing with someone so you don't overload ahead of the generous entrees. Entrees- We opted for the two piece fried chicken thighs with mac & cheese and jalapeño cornbread. The fried chicken was delicious. They brine the chicken for three days and it tasted tender and flavor packed! I don't like mac & cheese and it is never my first choice or my second choice, but whatever sorcery is in this mac & cheese I must know. It was delicious and not heavy on the cheddar taste - subtle and slightly rich. Loved that the pasta was al dente. Now here's where our boy Gio comes in. We came here to try the fried chicken AND the brisket. However, we learned that the brisket cannot be sold under a pound. They only charge by the pound. Knowing that we had a hearty entree coming with the chicken thighs, we knew we would not be able to eat a pound of brisket in addition. So we tried to get creative and say we'll just order the grilled cheese put the brisket on the side LOL. Gio went above and beyond and spoke with the Chef so that we could try the brisket on its own. So shout out to Gio and Chef for making that accommodation for us. But the customer service didn't stop there. Gio brought out some water for our pup and the Chef even gave her a small burnt end, which, of course, she was thrilled about. We really appreciated the hospitality that was shown to all of us, including our pup, and for the extra mile that they went. As far as dog friendly goes, I think the above speaks for itself. There are two large tables outside of the restaurant which they consider their patio. Feel free to bring your pup and enjoy amazing food and fantastic service.

I got a bunch of spots saved on my yelp and honestly I never get around to all of em but I finally made it out to Mama Bird. After taking my wife to take pics at the welcome to Vegas sign and 7 magic mountains. I ended up getting the pit master. I was l stuck for a min trying to decide what to get, everything sounded good, but im pretty sure you cant really go wrong here Food came out lookin fire and tasted even better. the meats were juicy and had hella flavor. also dont be scared of the jalapeños. they are more sweet than spicy so they actually go real good with everything place had a good vibe, nothing crazy just chill and solid food.

Extremely delicious. Been flirting with coming here for years, last meal of the year out was here with friends (who'd also never been and were excited to come) and it didn't disappoint! The doors super heavy but a nice guy headed the same way rushed over to open it and that set the tone. Our friends were seated, we joined them and Crystal quickly came over and introduced herself. Our friends used to be in the restaurant business so through their questions I learned that so much of what's served is made in house. I was shocked to learn the ginger beer was house made. My kinda place! I did apricot peach. So delicious. We came during happy hour so we did the pickles n green beans w dill ranch and deviled eggs for the table. The pickles n beans were my favorite. The egg didn't do it for me. 3/4 of us ordered the brisket and rib combo. 1 just did all brisket. The meat was SO tender. I love the bark on the ribs and the brisket was fall apart tender w a similar bark on the edges. I did cheddar grits. Fantastic flavor. There were hints of onion in there too. Woman did the greens. I loved those too. Our friends did slaw and mac, which they also said was delicious. Woman's ribs were overcooked in comparison to the other two of us. I wish she'd gotten another piece but she gave it to our friends. The water was meh so I switched to sparkling. The biscuit was also not a fave. It's called an everything biscuit. I thought it was going to be a honey butter one. No one was particularly crazy about it but the cornbread had jalapeños so that was out. The menu is small yet vast and impressive. I had curiosity around the watermelon soft serve but was told they were out. The parkings always chaotic around here but it's worth braving. They also own Hola - which I went to but don't remember the food, and rise and shine where I guess they wear pajamas which is cool. Service was solid. I ran out of sparkling at one point, but my glass didn't sit empty too long before Crystal brought me a fresh one. She was very attentive, knowledgeable, kind and patient. I'll absolutely be back. I want to try the pulled pork and their catfish. The place is cute, just be prepared for country music. Thanks for a great meal and experience. Cat man's LOVING the ribs and the briskets so tender he's enjoying that too (and he barely eats beef when served as cat food. Let alone human food!)

Usually it's just to fly out of Las Vegas for a work trip. This time though, I was in area for the US Post office. Looking for nearby places to eat, I saw that Smoke & Fire was only 10 minutes away! My husband and I stopped by for dinner around 3:30 P.M on a Friday at Smoke & Fire. The restaurant is located near South Pecos Road and East Russell Road. There was plenty of parking spots available. As I walked inside the restaurant, a team member had greeted us and let us know that it was open seating. There were only a few other customers inside the restaurant at the time we had dinner. There was plenty of tables inside and outside the restaurant though! TVs were situated throughout the restaurant. There was a variety of sports games playing. When we sat at our table, the team member brought over menus and asked if we'd like anything to drink while we looked through the menu. She also went through any dietary restrictions and some of their highlights at the restaurant, specifically, Smoke & Fire is known for their blueberry chicken sandwich. There are other options on their menu though, like BBQ items! Meat platters: Pulled Chicken, Pulled Pork, Brisket, Smoked Ribs, Hot Links, smoked Chicken Quarters. Sandwiches: Chicken Sandwiches, Brisket Sandwich, Donut Smashed Burger (Seasonal), Sliders Chicken and Waffles, Street Style Tacos, Chicken Tenders and more! After looking through the menu, we ultimately decided on the following 3 Meat Platter: Pulled Chicken, Pulled Pork, and Brisket with Mac N Cheese/Sweet Potato Tots The World Famous Blueberry Chicken Sandwich: Pepper Jack Cheese, Housemade Blueberry Jam, blueberry aioli, and Jalapeno. The service was super quick. I don't think we waited longer than 10 minutes for our meal. It was nice that our meal was served in to go containers as well! The highlight of the meal was the blueberry chicken sandwich. The chicken was juicy and tender. The blueberry aioli and the jam was scrumptious. This was a first time having a sandwich like this before! I would come back to Smoke & Fire just to get the sandwich. The BBQ pulled pork, pulled chicken and brisket was good. I enjoyed the mac n cheese and the sweet potato tots though! I don't normally see sweet potato tots so I just had to try it out! They were super crispy and packed with flavor. The food was yummy here and the service was fantastic! If I'm in the area again, I would stop by Smoke & Fire to have another meal. I think next time though, I am going to have to try out their pulled pork burger!

I ordered a half-pound of brisket, and they gave me a very generous portion with plenty of beautifully sliced, smoky meat accompanied by pickles. The brisket was tender, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for. My wife wanted the burnt ends, but unfortunately they were out, so she went with the shredded brisket slider instead. It turned out to be absolutely delicious, especially paired with their homemade potato salad. This is just a great casual spot to grab an ice-cold beer, relax, and enjoy your favorite smoked meats without all the unnecessary fuss. If you're craving barbecue while you're in downtown Las Vegas, I would definitely recommend giving them a try. And, of course, you have the famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop right next door, associated with Rick Harrison and Pawn Stars, which makes the area even more fun to visit.

The menu offered so many choices but I went with the meatball & sooooo glad I did, I literally never had a meatball sandwich that can come close to this! The flavor, soft yet crisp garlic roll with gooey baked mozzarella on top -- pure awesomeness that was out of this world. I can't wait for another trip to Vegas just so I can have another. The guy at the register was so friendly and helpful. It took a little while to get food for 4 of us but certainly worth the wait.

Great Burger and Exceptional Service!…read more The staff here was exceptional from start to finish! Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the experience enjoyable. I ordered a burger and fries, and they let me know to expect about a 10-minute wait. Not only was the wait reasonable, but they actually got my food out faster than promised. The burger was excellent, with a nice crust on the outside and great flavor. My only minor complaint was that the fries could have been cooked just a little longer. I came in earlier, so I was able to enjoy my meal before the crowds picked up. I can see why this place gets busy! Overall, this was a great experience, and the combination of excellent service and a really good burger makes Chip Off the Block a repeat stop for me whenever I'm in Las Vegas for work. Looking forward to coming back!
