    3 Piece Honey Butter Tenders with Seasoned Fries
    Heather A.

    This was such a roadtrip surprise! Got hungry and it popped up on the map, but no signs, no website.. just show up and find out! This was the best pit stop because they do such a great job with the chicken. Huge portions, not over breaded, juicy and flavorful! The sandwich had fresh pickles to top it off. They have a great secret? Sauce but everything tasted so good didn't need to dip much. We tried the banana and strawberry milkshakes which were amazing, but after being in there for 10 mins we realized their speciality is the date shake- so now we HAVE to go back! The spicy is spicy! And the honey butter is stellar- perfect sweet. Also, the staff were by far the kindest people you'll meet! Very attentive and sweet.

    In the middle of nowhere date/milkshake gem! Hand made date shake that's actually super good. Did not try anything else tho. Therefore, the review is only for the shake.

    What an awesome chicken sandwich in the middle of nowhere but some where between Baker and Las Vegas on the 15 fwy - this is the place you have to go! The chicken sandwich here is amazingly good and the other items are really good too - shakes, fries, etc. They have sandwiches to go in a display, but skip that and order fresh. It takes a little time, but it's worth it. They have a spicy version, and it is spicy - but good. Order the regular if you can't take spice. Both are good. Go for the combo and get a date shake. Sounds odd but it's really good. Their fries are really good too. Freshly made so hot and crispy. It's seasoned and they also provide a dipping sauce. Order from the counter. The servers are super friendly. This place is located in a gas station mini mart and they sell a variety of snack and drink items. It's a good way to kill time while they make your food fresh. This place is definitely worth a stop on your way to or leaving Vegas.

    Finally made the time to stop at this oasis! First off, where do all the people come from?! For being in the middle of no where this place was packed. And mostly people buying lotto tickets oddly. However also a decent line at "Bird House". This gem located within the store is serving some tantalizing chicken sandwiches. We opted for both an original and also a honey butter chicken sandwich. I also got a date shake. First off, the sandwiches are plentiful. Full pieces of chicken not small. Honestly I found both delicious but that honey butter is guilty pleasure. Pickles weren't overwhelming and the bread was nice and soft. Very very good chicken sandwiches and the date shake was the punctuation. It was such a nice blend of sweet and savory. Unique and something I would order again. Do yourself a favor next time driving from LA to Vegas and stop here!

    3 Piece Tender Meal w/ Fries

    A true oasis in the desert. Just do yourself a favor and stop! This place is an unassuming gas station, store and chicken restaurant all in one - on the way into Las Vegas heading north on the 15. I got the 3 piece meal, spicy with seasoned fries and it was freaking amazing. The chicken was super juicy and was well coated in the spicy rub that numbed my lips more and more with each bite. I didn't try the famed date shake but it seems really popular. The service was amazing and I was greeted and asked if I had any questions about the food right away. I love the review / message board that has some really nice, heart warming messages from fellow travelers and foodies alike.

    That chicken with the sauce?! Bruh. *Chefs kiss* This place needs to change their billboards to, "The best chicken in the middle of nowhere!" I've driven to and from Vegas and seen the Date Shake billboards for longer than I can remember. I finally stopped to see what it was all about. Little did I know they have THE BEST chicken, with the best dipping sauce (it's kinda like a honey mustard but not), AND some fat crinkle cut seasoned fries that are super good. That's a big deal coming from someone who isn't a fan of crinkle cut fries lol. They have honey butter, spicy and some other flavor I can't remember for the chicken. The date shake was pretty mild in flavor but extra sweet. You could tell the dates were fresh. TBH I'd probably go for a strawberry or chocolate banana next time since they let you combine flavors. A 3 piece honey butter tender box and shake came out to $24.76. The tendies were thicc. Definitely shareable. Everything is cooked to order so it's hot af when it comes out the fryer. The Bird House is situated inside the gas station, aka Cima Mining Co. that also a doubles as a souvenir shop. They sell all kinds of knick-knacks, drinks, flavored sodas, ice cream and snacks. You can even get your fortune told by the great Zoltar. Take the Cima exit. You won't be disappointed.

    So good

    Whooooo wheeeee....Their chicken sandwich is soooooo freaking good!!! I stumbled upon Bird House while driving up to Vegas after spotting a sign claiming they had the best date shake -- and as a date lover, I had to make a quick stop. What I didn't expect was finding a spot that also serves up incredible chicken sandwiches! I ordered both the date shake and a chicken sandwich, and wow -- I'm so glad I did. The shake was phenomenal -- not overly sweet, super refreshing, and honestly one of the best I've had. The chicken sandwich? Absolutely next level. Crispy, flavorful, juicy, I loved the honey it was sweet and spicy -- I devoured every single bite. Solid 5 stars. The shop also sells a variety of snacks and drinks, which I didn't have time to explore, but I definitely will next time. A special shoutout to Doc, who helped me out -- he was such a sweetheart and super friendly, which made the experience even better. This place is a total hidden gem and 100% worth the stop. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone passing through!

    Luckily there was no line when we entered. I found out about this eatery when I was googling places to eat on our way home from Vegas. After reading that 99% of the reviews were good, I said, we have to go try this place to see if the reviews are real or not. If they're not, I'll be so disappointed. I was iffy about the fact that it was inside a little store in the middle of nowhere. However, the food was amazing. Service was good, normal, and a bunch of people kept coming inside to use the restrooms. Women's restrooms are filthy here. I'd avoid them if possible. There are really no good chicken sandwiches like this one here in LA. GIVE IT A SHOT! You won't regret it!

    This is still the best chicken sandwich ever!! Juicy, plump, and full of flavor! Their salad isn't bad either!

    Spicy Chicken OMG with a date shake
    Gill P.

    Busy at 1241 on a Saturday off the 15 headed to Vegas. Now I know why the bird house spicy chicken sandwich and the date shake are just OMG. A must try

    My copilot who I shared with and is now happily enjoying a food coma. And I'm jealous. But I gotta keep driving.

    Staff was friendly and patient and helpful. The order came up quick. And it was cooked perfectly. It was seriously the best chicken sandwich and shake I've ever had. Worth the splurge. And worth budgeting for in future trips. And it's super filling. I even shared with my dog and still couldn't finish the last two bites. So glad I decided to stop and eat here. I actually feel like I ate real food for once. I'm jealous of my dog enjoying her food coma. But I gotta keep driving.

    Spicy chicken sandwich

    The absolute best spicy chicken sandwich!! I love stopping here when I leave from Las Vegas going back to LA. the seasoning is so tasteful & has a nice kick of spice. I highly recommend grabbing one (i brought in my own big red soda from my car)

We only pulled into the gas station to use the restroom and noticed a small stand right next to it selling date shakes. Curiosity got the best of us and we're so glad it did. For around $7, the date shake was incredibly creamy, rich, and full of natural date flavor without being overly sweet. You can really taste the dates, and the texture was smooth with little pieces of dates and so satisfying, especially after a long drive. It was one of those unexpected treats that instantly puts you in a better mood. The location itself is super convenient if you're driving through the area, and it's honestly the perfect quick stop to break up the trip. What started as a simple bathroom break turned into a memorable food stop we'll definitely be looking forward to on future drives. We were pleasantly surprised by how good it was and are genuinely happy we stopped. This has officially become a must-stop for us every time we're heading back to Vegas. If you're passing through, don't skip it... get the date shake. You won't regret it.

How many people have memories of stopping at such a place in the family station wagon? The famous date shake is smooth and creamy with bits of date chopped real fine. It wasn't as sweet as I feared but just right considering how sweet dates are naturally. For $7 I think it's a decent deal. The place draws a good crowd and has all kinds of great things to munch on the road or take to friends.

This morning, we were on the road earlier than usual, so I called at 7:46 AM hoping to place an order for pickup at 8:00 AM when they opened. The employee who answered sounded annoyed and immediately told me I had to call back at 8:00 AM to place the order. As someone who works in the restaurant industry, I understand policies and operating procedures. However, if staff are already in the building answering the phone, taking an order a few minutes early for pickup after opening seems like a simple way to provide good customer service and retain loyal customers. Instead, the interaction felt dismissive and unwelcoming. In today's economy, customer service and repeat business matter. Because of the experience, I chose not to stop, didn't charge my Tesla there as planned, and took my business elsewhere. It's unfortunate because this was a place I regularly visited and recommended during my trips.
