    Chicken And Waffles
    Karissa M.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Went to Mama Birds on 8-18-26 Emily took our order. Ordered the blueberry french toast and a side of scrambled eggs. My daughter ordered the biscuits and gravy with a side of scrambled eggs. Let. Me. Tell. You..... Emily is the most attentive and friendliest server we have ever had. Quick, efficient, positive, friendly, and radiates. Chef Erik.... Our food came out in a very timely manner. Hot. Fresh. Flavorful. Full of blueberries. The eggs cooked perfectly. My daughter gobbled down the biscuits and gravy, resulting in both of us stuffed and smiling. The place is super cute and chucked full of Southern Decor. Everyone is nice and inviting. It's become my favorite place for food. The chicken , in any form is my go to. Thanks y'all!

    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!)

    This is my fourth time here and the quality of food was great. Just sad they ran out of their deviled eggs. The brisket still melts in your mouth. The sweet corn was scrumptious. The Mac and cheese was great and the crunch was to die for. The ribs were very meaty and delicious. The ambiance was great and the bathrooms were clean. Our service started out wonderfully however at the end it got weird and awkward. The server didn't return our cash even though they said they will come back with our change. Coming back to this place when I'm on vacation it is a must but maybe we will back earlier to get a different server.

    Wow! We woke up this morning and said that let's have some southern food. We Mama Birds and the food and the service was amazing. Agata is a total sweetheart. She introduced herself, introduced us to the menu along with making some recommendation. We ordered chicken waffle, pork scrambled, and the biscuits and gravy. Of course, i must have a sweet tea. At the end of breakfast, our nine-year-old complaint was she's so sick because the food was so good and she ate way too much. Agata made the experience that much better. She is soft spoken and checks on us here and there. :) We included some photos. Sorry. We started eating and took photos after a few bites. The food is delicious!

    Ask the Community - Mama Bird

    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.

    Are there Vegetarian options?

    Just go to there website and check out there menu.

    Any vegan options?

    I did not see any vegan options on the menu when I went .

    We decided to check out this BBQ restaurant after seeing the high ratings across multiple review…read moreplatforms, so I'll admit our expectations were pretty high. It's located off the Strip in a somewhat hidden, out-of-the-way plaza, which gives it more of a local, low-key feel. One thing I noticed right away was that the menu posted in the lobby didn't have prices, but the menu behind the register did. They have a huge selection of food, so there are plenty of options to choose from. We ordered the burnt ends, brisket, mac and cheese, chicken sliders, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and cornbread. The brisket was unfortunately overcooked, although the burnt ends were good. The meatloaf was okay but definitely not the best I've had. The mac and cheese was good, and the mashed potatoes were actually really good. The chicken sliders were just okay, and the cornbread didn't really stand out. Overall, I was a little disappointed because the reviews had me expecting something exceptional. Everything was decent, but honestly, the meal was pretty mediocre for me. Nothing was terrible, but nothing really blew me away either. I'd still give it four stars because there were several good items, the menu has a lot of variety, and our overall experience was fine. However, based on the ratings, I definitely expected more.

However, once our server came over, the first thing he told us was that they were out of ribs and pork burnt ends. On a Saturday night at 6 p.m., being out of the two most popular items on the menu was frustrating. Since we had heard such great things about this restaurant, we thought everything else must be amazing, but unfortunately, that was not the case. We ended up ordering brisket and pork, both of which were extremely dry, and the sauces were honestly terrible. While my daughter wanted to run outside, my husband took her out for a moment. During that time, someone from the grill was bbqing and told him that the ribs would be ready in 10 minutes. We were confused because we would have gladly waited 10-20 minutes for ribs if we had been given that option. Instead, our server simply told us they were out for the night. We had to track him down multiple times for soda etc. I asked the woman at the front for the manager's card because I wanted to share our experience. Within five minutes, the manager came out to speak with us. We explained what had happened, but he cut us off, defended the server, and told us oh he's so sorry to hear that. I was not expecting anything from him, but a simple explanation and a willingness to listen to the customer would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, we will never be back and could advise everyone to try rolling smoke house up the street!
