    Bacon egg and cheese biscuit
    Mary H.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
    Ashley S.

    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.

    Crystal was Amazing with referring different types of food on the Menu. And she didn't disappoint us at all! Everything was Amazing and the ambience was really beautiful! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for some good BBQ!

    Brisket and rib platter w/collard greens and a small shrimp & grits

    The brisket & ribs were so tender, they melted in your mouth. The jalapeño corn bread was moist and the butter was a good addition. The collard greens were too soupy & spicy for me. Shrimp & grits were flavorful, however, I could've used more shrimp. Overall, the meal was filling and service was friendly.

    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!

    Hello Erik, Unfortunately, we do use soy bean oil to fry our chicken.

    Is the other location (near Summerlin) now closed?

    Unfortunately, yes that location is now closed.

    Are reservations recommended for a weekend dinner?

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

    What's the difference between north and south fries?

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

    When are you opening the southwest location?

    I asked last time I was at the restaurant and was told aug/sept for the opening of the sw location. Right now it's still completely gutted inside there. So it's not open at all.

    Is there Apple Pay?

    We do not accept Apple Pay/Samsung Pay at this time.

    Which is the north fried and which is the south fries?

    North fries are crinkle cut potato fries. South fries or sweet potato fries.

    Can you get fried chicken and barbecue items all day or are there 'lunch' hours?

    Full menu available all day.

    Any plans to serve hush puppies?

    This would be amazing!

    Are you open for Thanksgiving?

    No. We are closed to spend time with our families.

    Just go to there website and check out there menu.

    Today my wife and I were in downtown Las Vegas, and I was seriously craving some authentic smoked…read morebarbecue. Rick's Rollin Smoke BBQ & Tavern definitely hit the spot! 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. Thank you to Rick and the entire team. Great barbecue, cold beer, generous portions, and a fun Las Vegas atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

    PROS: this place was very nice. Friendly staff, good food, good amount of spots to sit at, nice…read moreview of the pawn shop CONS: smaller than I thought. I assumed it would be half the size of an Applebees OVERALL: as long as you don't mind the size I think you'll love it. This place is a "sweet" bbq spot to stop at
