Really enjoyed my Love Bird chicken sandwich. The chicken was cooked perfectly and I loved the pickles and sauce. A very tasty meal, but pretty pricey for $19 with fries. The fries reminded me of McDonald's fries (which I am a fan of on a good day) but were a bit too soggy for me. The service was incredibly fast and I liked ordering on the iPad outside of the truck. Not sure if these are their normal prices or if they increased for the Street Food Cinema event. Would get again and try the spicy option next time since this was plain.
Fried chicken food truck. Tried this during the Yuletide Streetfood Cinema at Heritage Square for dinner. Got the firebird, which was their spicy chicken sandwich. It didn't have any heat, but it did have a generous amount of sauce. Fries are extra unless you get the tenders. Credit cards accepted. They post their schedule on IG. My one gripe was that a water bottle was $5 when I could've gotten one from the Streetfood Cinema bar or the Heritage Museum store for $2, but otherwise, it was a filling sandwich. The employees were nice and the food came out quickly.
Lovebird serves an expensive but worth-every-morsel fried chicken sandwich. I came here as part of Venice Beach's First Fridays food truck gathering. Lovebird should be your priority if you only have the stomach/wallet for one thing. But if you come in a group, you can split a sandwich and save (this is what we did). The sandwiches aren't cheap, coming in at $10.50 for a regular and $12.50 for the spicy one. But it is that good. This is going to redefine your fried chicken sandwich expectations. The meat is thick, tender, and incredibly moist, with a generous crunchy breading. The bun mainly serves to just hold everything together. I can't even remember what the toppings were because the chicken just blew my mind that much. I'm not sure where they usually are, but if you can find them, I highly recommend making a visit (or two!).
Average fried chicken sandwich spot. I liked that it was juicy, crispy and freshly fried but my Firebird with ghost pepper spice didn't even register on my heat scale. In fact I thought it was remarkably milder. I did see some sliced jalapeno in the slaw but again it didn't seem to pack much heat. Also there were a few stringy bits in the chicken that could have been trimmed before frying. Slaw was good and the sauce was only lightly spread on the bun.
LA food truck serving up super delicious chicken sandwiches. If you like spice get the Fire Bird! Super flavorful with a lovely heat and well balanced with slaw and pickles. What I like most about Love Bird is that their sandwiches aren't overly greasy too. Just super juicy and tasty! Check out their IG for their schedule!
We tried out this beauty while parked at the Monkish Brewery. We asked for it to be not spicy for my kid, and it was still so full of that Nashville flavor! The jalapeño slaw I probably could have eaten a much bigger bucket of ha. The homemade sauces, especially the ranch, were very special. When pulling apart the tender you could see how beautiful the cut of that chicken breast was too, I wish I took a picture of it because it was perfectly moist (I know but there is no better word ha). Paired excellence with the beers!
Mmmm lovebird makes a solid chicken sandwich. My chicken was well cooked and the flavor was there. I love when my fried chicken is well breaded and juicy on the inside. Also really loving the butter milk batter. The herb mayo with the grilled bun just makes for a really satisfying bite each time 9.5/10. The broccoli slaw is pretty good too . It reminds me of Joan's broccoli madness from soup plantation minus the sweetness 7/10. For a food truck these guys really nailed it with the fried chicken . Muy bien :)
I was not planning on eating at a food truck today but alas, long meetings and deadlines at work made the food truck outside my office the only option today. Lucky for me it was Love Bird. Immediately my mind goes to Howlin Ray's which I love and have yet to find anything close. It really isn't fair. I haven't even ordered and I am holding it to a higher standard. The menu is pretty straight forward. They serve fried chicken sandwiches. Priced from 9.75-15.50 for a pickles only customer to the Westside bird which includes bacon, avocado spread, and other fancy touches. I settled on the Fire Bird. Their spicy chicken sandwich with jalapeno slaw. The guy in the truck said it was a 6 of 10 on the heat scale. No up sale on fries or drinks. Just what I asked for. It took just over 5 min to make my sandwich and they served 3 others in that time. Guy was pleasant and I was excited to get back to my desk and try it out. The Fire Bird just looked good. Wrapped nicely so I could bite in and keep it together. The slaw complements the chicken perfectly and adds a little zing to the heat with the jalapeno slices. The brioche bun was fabulous. Tasty, paired well and held up throughout eating it. The chicken was moist and juicy. Not as large as Howling Ray's but the cook was perfect with a nice crunch to the light batter. The heat, its subtle, tasty... dancing with you with every bite. About half way through I started sweating. Not an I'm miserable sweat. Instead, it was wow, where did that kick come from but I dont wanna stop eating. I felt like I was saying wow with every bite, not sure if was the mounting heat or increase in flavor. I'm shook, I wasnt expecting it to be that good. Is it Howlings... no, no one is. But it's the next best Fried Chicken sandwich I've had and it really stands on it's own. I was told they have an off menu version that's a 8 out of 10 on heat. If you see this truck, stop and try it. I will definitely be going again.
I was at the food truck festival in Venice for the first time ever and there were so many trucks to choose from! I decided to give this one a try because it looked like a cross between Howlin Rays and Chick Fil A! So I went all our and ordered the Fire Bird. My sandwich came and I took the first bite. It was good but not great. For having a ghost pepper sauce on the chicken, it was somewhat spicy but not too spicy. I can see how this sandwich can be appealing to people because of the thickness of the breast and the juiciness. My expectations were a bit higher but I was satisfied. The sandwich was definitely a three but maybe because I had set my standards too high. I would eat it again but I would know what to expect next time.
Got the Farm Bird when this truck was at my work for lunch. $12.59 is quite pricey for a chicken sandwich that's on the smaller end and doesn't come with any sides, even for a food truck. The Farm Bird comes with lettuce, pickles, and tomatoes, which all tasted fresh. I liked that it wasn't super greasy and the buns held together well. The chicken was crispy on the outside and really juicy on the inside. I may get it again if it happened to be close by and I was majorly craving a chicken sandwich.
I had the chance to taste the delicious chicken from Love Bird at The Great American Foodie Fest in Las Vegas. Yum! A fried chicken breast sandwich is the base to all of the items on the menu. They offer a couple of options for toppings including a Fire Bird with ghost peppers for those that love hot food. For the side they offer fries and a couple of types of slaw. The Farm Bird had all the makings of a great chicken sandwich. The fried chicken breast had quality meat with a light breading that was well flavored. The brioche bun was delicious and didn't fall apart to the other ingredients. The other toppings were enough to flavor the sandwich without taking over the delicious chicken. I also liked that it wasn't overly messy so all of the flavors could be enjoyed together until the end.
My boyfriend and I were craving some fried chicken and luckily ran into Love Bird's food truck at First Fridays in Venice! (For those of you not from the west LA area, Abbot Kinney Blvd in Venice is host to a plethora of food trucks every first Friday of the month.) We decided to get the Firebird ($10.50), which was described as a spicy fried chicken sandwich with ghost pepper aioli, coleslaw, pickles, and jalapenos. We both love spicy food and have a relatively high heat tolerance, so we were a bit worried when the cashier said that the ghost pepper made it pretty hot. After one bite, we both concluded that the Firebird was definitely MILD spicy. Overall, it was a good sandwich -- the chicken was big and juicy, and it paired well with the crunch of the coleslaw and pickles. The actual taste of the coleslaw didn't stand out to me though. In the end, we both agreed that we've had better spicy fried chicken sandwiches.
I regret to report that Love Bird did not live up to its hype. I ordered the Farm Bird and seasoned fries. It was $16.80 before tip. A bit expensive but whatever, its West LA. The first bite was good - batter, crispy and chicken, moist. Only bummer was that they use dark meat instead of white meat and I was fairly disappointed, but I decided to continue with the meal. This was a mistake... Third bite in, I realized why the chicken was moist - it was undercooked and there were chunks of fat(see uploaded photos). I hope I don't become sick in the next few hours. Food was thrown out and money wasted. I was only left with the a rumbling tummy. Needless to say, I will not be a returning patron.

Delicious chicken from a food truck!? Yep, it's a thing. Thanks to Comic-Con last week for introducing me to their crunchy, plump chicken bits. I gotta say, the fella working was incredibly friendly and seemed bubbly & nice. We put in our order and it took awhile, but such is life with a food truck. Especially at a huge fest. Let me tell you, that chicken came out hot as heck, right out the fryer. My friend and I split their Tenders & Fries combo and were quite pleased. As forementioned, the chicken was nice & crunchy on the outside but plump & flavorful on the inside. What else could you ask for with a couple of sliced pickles on top!? Their shoestring fries were great, no issues there and we tried them with their ranch & herb mayo. I think the herb mayo would be excellent on a chicken sandwich but as a dipping sauce, just needed a little extra oomph. I'd try their ancho chili mayo on my next stop in to spice things up a bit. And there will def be a next time! Love Love Bird! read more

We used Love Bird for catering our wedding, and my guests LOVED THEM. I thought it would be a 50/50 split of the guests picking between them and the other truck, but no, most people were a sucker for the fried chickeny goodness! Not only were they delicious, but the team is also great on communication, friendly, quick to feed 100 guests, affordable, and they even reopened after closing so I could get a warm meal since I'd forgotten to eat It was so lovely to have something to take back to the hotel with us! We were HAPPY FED CLAMS! read more

Kind of expensive even for Los Angeles, but the food was delicious. Great fries, and really good pickles to go with juicy fried chicken. I got both the ranch sauce for the sandwich and the garlic herb mayo for the fries, and did not regret the extra cost for one bit. Definitely a great spot for a post-hangover lunch read more

Good quality, good price, good flavors. The thing was huge and had two big pieces of chicken. I ordered the firebird that is supposed to be hot and it was barley spicy at all. I wish they added more coleslaw because the sandwich was a little on the dry side but very pleased overall. read more
I was pleased with what I got from this food truck. I tried all three of their dipping sauces for my fries and they were all delicious. The chicken sandwich was pretty tasty to, but it was chicken strips instead of one patty so that adds to the awkward size and shape of the bun. Ultimately between all the toppings and the awkwardness of using chicken strips instead of one solid piece it led to the whole thing disintegrating halfway through. That said I kept eating the individual pieces because they were all delicious. Just very messy, which isn't entirely a bad thing. If they could work on structure for their sandwich it would be perfect. I highly recommend getting one of their sauces as an add-on to dip your fries in, all three were uniquely good. read more

I went to the Love Bird food truck at First Fridays. Starting off, I was super excited when I saw that the line had shortened for this truck. The line around 7 pm was super long which heightened my expectations by a lot. I mean, if you see a lot of people in line for fried chicken, it must mean that it's really good? At least that was my logic Around 9:30 pm the line was pretty short so me and my boyfriend got in line. I got the Love Bird and seasoned fries. I don't know where to start with reviewing the food. It was...subpar to say the least. If you look at the pictures I've included the chicken was literally so small. So so thin and small and left more to want after eating the sandwich. I'm not one to be quick to judge, like I might have just gotten a bad piece or a defective sandwich but literally, the chicken on this sandwich was smaller than the ones you get at chick fil a. Also, adding to the disappointment, the fries were "seasoned". I could see some seasoning on them but they were semi-soggy and not super seasoned. I would like to chalk this up to a fluke and hope that if I were to order again it wouldn't disappoint but, if you're at First Fridays I'd say to go to some other food trucks to get your food read more
Simply put, Love Bird provides a quality fried chicken sandwich that is extremely satisfying to the taste buds. I usually snag a sandwich from them when they're parked at the Santa Monica Brew Works. Who can resist the lure of a fresh-from-the-fryer fried chicken Sammie and a nice cold beer? Well, I'm sure a lot of peeps can but not me, man. My fave is the Fire Bird, which I always order extra spicy (not that spicy). The chicken is crisp with a moist white meat center. Not too greasy. The only gripe I have is that their sandwich is a bit on the smaller side. I need more bites! However, the friendly service from guys in van definitely cheer up my day. 5 stars! read more
Tried it out again since they popped up to the LACMA location. Improvements were made. The pickled brined buttermilk breaded chicken is is juicy and crispy. The brioche bun was lovely this time around, might even be grilled, I couldn't tell for sure. I liked how the garlic herb mayo wasn't visible at first, but when you take that first bite it blends together with the chicken and creates a dope classy taste. 9/10 The broccoli slaw had some carrots in there, sunflower seeds, red cabbage, and of course the ready slaw sauce. It didn't taste too much like mayo, wasn't overly sweet. The broccoli was fresh and crispy too. 8/10 for that. read more

[Review #316] 2018 Yelp 100 Challenge (86/100) Last year was the year of the rooster (Chinese zodiac), but this year has been the year of the (fried) chicken for me... Birdies, South City Fried Chicken, Howlin' Ray's, Blazin' Hens, Kokio Chicken, The Crack Shack, Dave's Hot Chicken. In the latest food truck rotation at The Reserve, Love Bird serves up a simple menu of fried chicken (Farm Bird, Fire Bird, Love Bird, Westside Bird) on a soft brioche bun with a few sides (seasoned or ghost fries, broccoli or jalapeño slaw), & Key Lime Pie. I always like some heat/spice so I ordered the Fire Bird (battered fried chicken breast, ghost pepper spice, pickles, jalapeño slaw, ancho chili mayo, brioche bun). While you have the option of "extra spicy," I didn't want to take the chance that this bird might send me to the ER. =)~ After all, it already has ghost pepper spices... I'm not sure about it in spice form but the pepper hits at 855k Scoville Heat Unit (SHU). I took my typical late lunch so there weren't too many customers ahead of me, it was only an 8-minute wait. :-) Service was fast & friendly. It was a decent size bird ratio to bun; I prefer a bit of chicken overhang (think Birdies, Howlin' Ray's, or Blazin' Hens) because it leaves an impression of good value in terms of its price point & for the obvious reason, there's more chicken. ;-) The chicken was perfectly fried... just battered enough for some crunch while sealing in the juices for a moist piece of chicken breast. There was some minor heat... I guess ghost pepper in spice form is nowhere near its spicy chili form, so extra spicy is a definite must! I should have read the reviews first so I would have known to order "extra spicy." The slaw offset some of the heat (temperature-wise), making it easier to eat my sandwich than waiting for it to cool off; pickles provided some acidity; ancho chili mayo to round off the Fire Bird's flavors. At first, I thought they forgot the mayo because the top bun was naked. Upon closer examination, it was spread on the bottom bun underneath the slaw & pickles. I'm glad I asked for a side of the ancho chili mayo so I can apply it directly to the chicken because the slaw & pickle juice diluted the condiment. I think the mayo applied to the top bun, where it's in direct contact with the chicken, would give the sandwich more oomph. Price is competitively fair as far as the food truck industry. The sandwich just bordered on satisfying my hunger pangs, when a side of fries or slaw could have answered those howls. =D The Fire Bird is a must try... or if you're a purist, go for the Love Bird. Howlin' Ray's seems to be the standard for most fried chicken connoisseurs (I get it even if I don't understand it). Love Bird may not offer the many levels of hotness/SHU (they might be limited by its mobile kitchen), but what is offered is a well-proportion sandwich with complementary ingredients that make it memorable & tasty. This may be the beginning of a love bird affair... I cluck for Love Bird. read more
For the past two years or so I've been on a desperate search for a Fried Chicken Sandwich in Los Angeles that even comes close to Howlin' Rays. I've tried everything at this point folks, and I've watched with pity in my heart as sandwich shops new and old ranging from South City Fried Chicken to Son of a Gun and Birdies came close but fell just short. That being the case, you can imagine my immense relief upon finally being able to catch up with the Love Bird truck and finding, to my sincere relief, that while they don't beat Howlin' Rays, they come awfully close to matching them to a degree that warrants five stars. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? Love Bird is, at the end of the day, a food truck, and that being the case it's hard to portray an atmosphere. Even so, the guy behind the counter couldn't have been nicer, and my Fire Bird sandwich came out in roughly five minutes. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? I think between $8.00 and $12.00 is roughly the right price point for a good Fried Chicken Sandwich depending on its size, and that being the case I was fine paying $10.50 for my medium sized Fire Bird. If i were to put forth any constructive criticism I would say make it a tad bit bigger and ramp the price tag up to match, but that's subjective and probably unnecessary if you're going to push side orders like fries and the like. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? This was a marvelous sandwich, and I'm almost inclined to just leave it at that but won't. The bun was great and well proportioned to the filet of chicken, which was the perfect mix of breading and meat. The peripherals brought it all together and my only criticism at the end of the day was that it wasn't quite spicy enough, but that's shame on me for not going with the recommendation of making it 'really spicy'. Excellent. Two Stars. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? Without a doubt. Again, Love Bird doesn't top Howlin' Rays, but it's the closest thing I've found. Star. read more
Was excited to see this after I had my sushi burrito appetizer across the way in the Granada hills Friday shitfest of humanity food truck night. The picture sold me. It was good but nothing mind blowing the picture looked better than the actual taste it was hot and juicy and a great hot sauce,the Firebird that is.... Kind of tacky they charge you 50 cents for ranch dressing. But the fried batter had no character or flavor it was crispy which is great but like I said no seasonings or spices that I could taste kind of like the Pioneer chicken version but of course better than that. File another 13 bucks for a slightly overpriced sandwich... that being said it's probably one of the best to choose from here as I'm not seeing very good quality trucks seems to be getting worse by the year. 3 and a 1/2 stars rounding up to 4. read more
Not a huge fan of fried chicken sandwiches, or even chicken in general, but I thought the sandwiches here were REALLY yummy! My boyfriend and I were at Santa Monica Brew Works over the weekend (the Love Bird truck is there Wed. & Sat. nights), and we split two sandwiches: the Farm Bird & Fire Bird. I loved the garlic mayo on the Farm Bird, and I loved the slaw & spiciness on the Fire Bird. Chicken was juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside. We got a side order of fries as well, which were just okay IMO. All in all, highly recommend trying a sandwich from Love Bird. I'll be back! read more
At work the other day, someone mentioned LOVE BIRD, and I said, "Wait I see that truck every Friday in Granada Hills!" so I finally decided to try it! I got the "Fire Bird" sandwhich because I like a little kick to my chicken sandwiches and I also ordered the Ghost Fries! The fries were yummy but man... the chicken sandwich was DELICIOUS!!! It was very juicy and it had just the right amount of spicy! Wasn't too hot to where my mouth was on fire that I couldn't enjoy it. I enjoyed it very much! I will definitely make a stop to grab a bite every time I see the LOVE BIRD truck now! :) read more

I been on a hunt trying to find the best chicken sandwich, and love bird made it definitely to the top, and maybe the best chicken sandwich next to howlin. I been patiently waiting for love bird food truck to come to my job and it finally did :). The chicken was tender yet crispy and flavorful a good portion it was DELICIOUS , so delicious I regret not getting two haha. I don't do spicy so I got a non spicy and fries. The fries were okay next time I order I will just get two chicken sandwich. There was no line of when I went since my lunch is early but after waiting for my order the line got big. I got my order pretty quick maybe waited at the most 5 min. The staff was super friendly. They do accept credit cards. Hope they can come back soon, I will be checking their web site :) read more

Had the fire bird (extra spicy) and broccoli slaw. The sando was well constructed, bun was fresh and soft. The chicken was nearly perfect, gorgeous crunchy crust, and moist chicken breast inside. Every bite was nice. It's not overly spicy but has a nice kick with ghost pepper oil. Slaw was good, maybe a little $$ for the size but provides a nice balance to the hot sando. This place is good, can't wait to try again. read more
