    4 piece lemon pepper tenders and side order of pickles
    Dalia J.

    Fyrebird to end the week! I love this green of a restaurant. Don't come here expecting a fast food approach. One person is usually working the front, super friendly and kind staff. I love their wings but didn't feel like putting in the effort so I got the lemon pepper tenders w/fries and a side of their fried pickles, delicious! Also, this is the 4 tenders order. I have leftovers for tomorrow's lunch. I grabbed my food to go but have sat in the patio too and it's such a lovely environment! Treat yourself!

    We were in the mood for some fried chicken sandwich and found Fyrebird had excellent reviews. Easily placed an online order ahead of time to pick up in about 30 minutes. Our order was ready as promised. Arrived to the location and found the parking lot was a mess. There is some unemployment type business in the same shopping center. There are 2 handicapped parking spot near the entrance to the restaurant which both were taken by non-handicapped cars. Totally frustrating and I shared this with the counter person at Fyrebird. I know they can't control other people's stupidity, but makes it challenging for disabled people to want to patronize businesses when we can't park near the business. I have become more critical about any difficulty in visiting businesses. I will go elsewhere if it is less stressful forme to do business. The sandwich wzs tasty and huge. Fries were just okay, and seemed like it was fried in old oil.

    Was finally able to try this place after seeing it all over my FYP. I ordered the three piece wings with fries in the garlic parmesan flavor, along with the buffalo flava fries with ranch. The fries on their own were very good. They were made from fresh potatoes, well seasoned, and thin cut. I liked that there was a mix of crispy fries and some softer ones, which actually worked really well. The buffalo flava fries were excellent. The buffalo sauce had a nice balance of heat and tang, and the ranch tasted homemade and was very flavorful. The chicken on top of the fries was extremely crispy, and they were generous with both sauces so almost every fry was coated. The garlic parmesan wings had good seasoning, but the wings themselves were a bit fatty. They had a lot of meat, but the skin reminded me more of Korean fried chicken rather than a classic wing. They were still enjoyable, especially dipped in the ranch and buffalo sauce. The wings were well coated and flavorful, although I have had better wings elsewhere. That said, the buffalo fries, sauces, and ranch were so good that I would definitely return. The inside space is small, so it is more of a takeout spot. Service was friendly and efficient, and we only waited about ten minutes for our food. I would definitely come back and try another flavor.

    We live really close to Fyrebird and saw that they had good reviews so decided to check them out! We got their 12 wings and fries for takeout. The sauce we chose were garlic habanero and lemon pepper. We were really hoping to like this place but we were a bit disappointed. The fries were soggy and the wings were soggy as well. The lemon pepper flavor was salty and the garlic habanero was not spicy at all. There wasn't much flavor for the garlic habanero. We were confused. We thought there was going to be some heat to it since it was listed as the second hottest but there was no kick. Maybe you need to eat the foods at the restaurant when it's really fresh? Doing takeout was not the way to go

    The service here is excellent! They go above andbeyond to please. The chicken was absolutely fantastic, generous portions, and fair prices. They have a very nice outside seating area, but the food is also packaged well to go. They put a lot of care and attention to detail into their food. The fries and a homemade dipping sauces were also outstanding. You simply can't go wrong with anything here. Wonderful family run business worth supporting. Highly recommended if you are looking for a delicious and flavorful meal in the area!

    Ordered wings and fries combo. There was way too much grease in the food. The wings needed to be separated. Fries taste just like in and out (hard fries) . I would not go back to this restaurant

    I'm not a fried chicken connoisseur by any means but I tasted nothing unique, just fried chicken. A solid 3.5, but rounding up to a 4 because the chicken was cooked perfectly, it tasted fresh and juicy. I wanted to taste a variety of their sauces and spice level and ordered 4 sliders. I was surprised by the size of the sliders, larger than expected and generous use of chicken. I was disappointed with the heat. Cali Heat, which is their hottest, hardly had any heat to it, just a hint. The fries were very boring and cried out for some special seasoning. I just can't figure out what fried chicken sandwiches have against cheese and tomato. Those additions would take things to the next level.

    This is probably one of the saddest reviews I'd have to make. I have always seen this spot but never tried. We were excited to try it. Today I tried it, and unfortunately will not be back. The size of the so-called tenders is ridiculous. We ordered plant-based. Extremely pricey for the little pieces of nuggets. They're not "tenders". They were measly pieces of nuggets you get from the frozen section at the grocery stores. I buy the same stuff. You can get these plant-based options at your local grocery store. Some are tenders and some come as nuggets. These were advertised as tenders--but they're actually nuggets. It wasn't even a decent size. I would've been fine with it. There were no photos online because most people don't buy plant-based. $12 for a few pieces of nuggets was a joke. The entire presentation looked very sad. Just pieces thrown into plastic boxes. Even a five-year old would have plated it nicer. The only thing that made sense were the fries. Everything else did not taste good. The back patio was the only upside. My advice to the owners--just stick to real meat. Plant-based isn't your area. One other issue is that we tipped in advanced. We told them we were dining in "for here" and they never brought it out to us. This place has no service. At some places even if you order at the register, they bring out the food but they paged us to come get it instead. They were too lazy to bring it to their back patio. I guess since they already got the tip they didn't bother to make a first impression. They knew it was our first time there since we had a lot of questions and specific requests. First and last time. Don't recommend. The skimpy portion for the price is absurd and unacceptable.

    Ambiance: Not a big place at all... maybe 3 stools to sit at the counter. 2 benches outside to wait. Though it's small, it's easy to navigate.. you're in and out. Service: Guy taking order was patient, friendly, and helpful. I was able to mix flavors, he helped me decide on my order, and they have the option to text you when your order is ready so you're not just waiting around the already small location. Order took about 30 minutes to get. Food: My tenders were nice and hot, not crispy, but were juicy. The flavors of the sauces were strong. I'll definitely be back to try the other flavors /sauces. Fries were ok, needed more seasoning (the lemon pepper would've been good), and kind of soft, but they weren't terrible. I went on a Friday after work, and the parking was pretty easy.

    Good portions and tasty. Maybe a little less sauce on the strips but we'll worth a visit.

    In terms of food, service, and my desire to support this business, it's 5 stars. But I do have some…read morenotes I'll bury in this review. Uncle Mac's fish sandwich - thick cut of cod. Perfectly cooked. Crispy exterior that doesn't cut your mouth like a baguette. PERFECT potato bun. shrimp taco - Balanced deep fried heaviness with a ton of cabbage. It's $4.99 each, but substantial enough to beat out other seafood tacos where you might get 3 (junkier, less thoughtful) tacos for the price of 2 of Uncle Mac's tacos. tom yum fries - I might pass on these next time. They were good but more of a novelty item. Wildly crispy with a pillowy center. Idk who's on the fryer back there, but they got secrets the world needs to know about. clam chowder - lighter side. Actually ideal for me. Not thick and buttery. Without losing and quality in flavor. Food's good. Sauces were good. Ranch, tartar, their special green sauce. All good. Only issue? I'm torn between wanting to come back and try the rest of the menu and simply not being sure if I want to come back. And I'm still trying to figure out why that is. Uncle Mac's Kitchen is mostly that, a kitchen. There are tributes to the actual guy, Uncle Mac, posted in the restaurant. And I have no doubts that the food makes Uncle Mac proud. But the ambiance is quite bleak. Half of the decor are tribute pieces to the late Mac and I think what it's missing is Mac's soul. His spirit. The joy of making this food. Not just nods to his existence that feel like an emotional totem to this restaurant's creator and staff. I went to Uncle Mac's. I saw his tributes along the walls. I tasted Uncle Mac's fish sandwich. And I was left wondering where the rest of him was. The sandwich was so good with the PERFECT potato bun and I just started to wonder who the inspiration for all of this was. The tacos are named after Mac's friends. The wall art are photos of where Mac hung around in Gardena. But the ambiance throws the whole story away. Or something about this felt hollow. I knew I wanted to eat this food. I don't think I want to eat it in this dining room. (But I also don't want to take their perfectly friend food to go..) I worry that I'm asking for too much, but I just couldn't land on what the store was trying to achieve OTHER THAN honor the late, great Uncle Mac specifically through food. Was it to be the neighborhood lunch spot? The love letter to Gardena? The premier seafood kitchen of the (more inland parts of) South Bay? My brain needed a place to land itself. The street facing windows have illustrations of fish. But the interior was either Uncle Mac or the menu items. Images of Gardena paid tribute to Mac's stomping grounds. But no lunch specials to integrate with the community of working class. I kept jostling the brand around in my head, trying to find the angle from which the UMK could truly shine, but then I realized it wasn't my decision to make. I think there's a way that Uncle Mac's KITCHEN can decide on who they want to be and how they can telegraph that identity to its patrons. And I look forward to seeing this place grow over time.

    Let be honest, this place is the kind of glorious chaos you only find when the universe says, "You…read moreknow what? You deserve a little trouble tonight." Party on Western is a hole‑in‑the‑wall dive bar in the most affectionate way possible. The kind of spot where the lights are dim, the playlist is fire, and the walls have definitely seen some things they'll never speak of again. You walk in and immediately feel like you've joined a secret society of people who just want good music, strong drinks, and zero judgment. People will always judge...who are we fooling. lol!! The playlist? It was on point for the spot, it wasn't just good, it was spiritually aligned with my bloodstream. Every song slapped. Every beat felt like it was personally trying to fix my life choices. I swear one track looked me dead in the eyes and whispered, "You're doing amazing, sweetie." Let's talk about these drinks because they were flirting with me HARD. * Jack on the Rocks, a simple classic that's smooth, cold, and acting like it knew me from a past life. It slid across the bar like, "Hey stranger... miss me?" * Chilled Tequila Shot...Wow, this one didn't flirt. This one grabbed me by the soul and said, "We're making memories tonight." * Jack & Coke, it was sweet, bold, and absolutely lying to me. It told me I was the main character. It told me I was unstoppable. It told me I could dance. It was wrong... but I believed it. Ha ha ha! By drink three, I was ready to text people I shouldn't and tell the bartender my entire life story. Didn't happen though. Ha ha ha! Oh wait a minute...I almost forgot...I ordered some hot wings to set the tone, and let me tell you, they came in HOT like they were auditioning for a music video. Perfect bar wings: messy, spicy, and exactly what you need to convince your stomach that the tequila was a good idea. Typical bar food across the board, nothing fancy, nothing pretentious, just the classics and messy at its best. But let's be real: the drinks are the main event. The food is just there to keep you from making catastrophic decisions. At one point I swear my Jack & Coke winked at me. The tequila shot told me I deserved happiness. The wings told me to stop being dramatic. And the playlist told me to live my truth. This bar didn't just serve me drinks, it emotionally supported me. For better or worse, get over it!
