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.

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.

Olivia S.

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!)

Do you folks take reservations?

Hi Eric, This is Ariel from Mama Bird. We’re a first-come, first-served restaurant and don’t take reservations, but we’ll be happy to get you seated as quickly as possible… 

How busy are they on weekends?

What kind of oil is used for deep frying the chicken? (I only ask because I get upset stomach with certain oils like soy bean oil). Thank you!

Is the other location (near Summerlin) now closed?

Unfortunately, yes that location is now closed.

generally reservations are always a good idea - but normally they are not needed -

North fries= crinkle fries, just regular fries South fries = sweet potato fries

The biggest disappointment was the pull-apart Cinnabon. Unfortunately, it wasn't soft, and the cream cheese frosting wasn't sweet at all. It definitely needed more sugar. No one in our group liked it, and for $21, I'd definitely pass on it. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. She brought us all the condiments we asked for and kept our drinks filled, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a nice time celebrating, but there were definitely some hits and misses with the food.

A friend recommended we stop here for breakfast or lunch on our way to Zion, Utah. We always make a…read morestop in Vegas to stock up on groceries and grab brunch before heading to Zion for camping. The food here is incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious - but they really need to step up their dishwashing and make sure the food is served hot. There's nothing worse than ordering coffee and seeing purple lipstick on the rim of your cup. It makes you want to leave right away. Then comes the inner debate - do you say something and risk being that customer, or just wipe it off and move on? On top of that, getting food that's supposed to be hot but arrives cold is frustrating. You sit there wishing you were at home where you could just microwave it - because the food is that good and would taste even better at the right temperature. Our experience wasn't helped by our waiter, who seemed disinterested after the lipstick incident (same guy mentioned in previous reviews that comes off rude AF/ agreed!). We didn't feel like asking for much after that. On the bright side, one of the waitresses was amazing - she looked like she was carrying the whole place. The chef clearly knows what she's doing because the food coming out of the kitchen was fantastic. That said, attention needs to be paid to cleanliness and serving hot food. There's no excuse for that. Despite these issues, I gave it five stars because the problems are fixable and don't take away from how incredible the food is. For reference, we visited on Friday, January 3rd, in the morning. There was a nearby parking structure and no wait time. The decor is a mix of farm-to-table and modern bistro - nothing overly exciting or disappointing. We were just looking for a good brunch spot, and this place is truly a hidden gem. Hopefully, they address the concerns we mentioned because it's worth coming back for! __________ To the Chef, Your food is incredible - truly Michelin-worthy. However, the staff is serving it cold and sometimes on dirty dishes. This isn't the first review mentioning these issues. Also, the tall white guy with grey hair was incredibly condescending and rude. Hospitality doesn't seem to be the right fit for him. It's disappointing to see someone like that representing the amazing work and love you pour into your dishes. On the flip side, the waitress with long brown hair was picking up the slack and holding the place together. She deserves recognition - maybe even a promotion. I hope you see this because if the team can consistently serve food hot and on clean dishware, this place could easily become the top brunch spot around. We appreciate your talent and hope this feedback is helpful! - Vee & Mike

It has a rustic, darker ambiance and not your usual bright and sunny brunch spots. The menu not too big, but offered enough varieties that we decided to try the biscuit and gravy as well as the corned bee hash. We also got house coffee and they were from mother ship coffee. Food came out quickly, but they were lukewarm and felt like it was already made and just put under a food light to be kept warm. The biscuit was good and soft, but the gravy was a little too salty. The corned beef came in a smaller portion than I expected, and the beef was diced too thin that they didn't have great texture and flavor. Coffee was good, but overall food was not as good as we'd expect. Service was average, the waitress was nice but didn't offer much service besides bringing out initial water and coffee over. No one really checked in on us after the food was served. I'd most likely not be back as there are many other brunch places in the downtown area to explore.

Bacon Nation slaps slices on just about everything but French toast, and even that can be topped with bacon butter and bacon-infused syrup. The build-your-own omelet is a worthy breakfast, stuffed with two veggies and two meats of your choice. Cheddar, diced onion, and two types of bacon inside three eggs was a winner. Be sure to get some thick bacon slices to go (mango habanero, maple glazed, honey-cured) - always nice to chew on during that nine hour Sunday evening drive back to SoCal. And unlike those anorexic slices that fast food places put on their burgers, you can actually taste this bacon. Open 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., they serve lunch too and if you're in 'growling stomach mode', try the Boarrito but be forewarned - this is a pork-fest of a monstrosity that's not designed for consumption by weight watchers or thoroughbred jockeys. A large tortilla filled with ham, sausage, bacon crumbles, pulled pork, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo is then wrapped on the outside with countless slices of more bacon, smothered with cheese sauce and sour cream...now I need to take a nap just thinking about digesting it. It's a massive meal and I feel like the waitress could have positioned me on all fours in front of a feeding trough in order to graze on it. Bacon Nation is located on the D's second floor inside a very clean and bright dining room with lots of booths, a counter, and an ultra-pleasant hostess named Angel. In summary, a well-earned 5 oink review is deserving because their food is that darn good. "Everywhere there's lots of piggies, living piggy lives.
