Birds

Where the locals flock together


If Hitchcock, God-fearing aliens and one of the best damn rotisserie chickens in town is your idea of a good time, you’re not alone. The Los Feliz locals truly do flock to this chicken shack for good simple American picnic fare, and a bar to send you stumbling home.

Seated on the patio directly across the street from the beautiful Church of Scientology Celebrity Center (Nanu-Nanu), we stuck with the basics. Creamy cole slaw with spot on seasoning, red bliss potatoes roasted crispy outside with a soft fluffy center, and the whole rotisserie chicken juicy and succulent throughout was served with lavosh bread and your choice of American, Malaysian, French and Mexican dipping sauces. Top all that off with a sunny 85 degrees and an ice cold Stella and call it the good life. Honorable mention goes to the warm German chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla that put us over the edge but was worth every bite.

Independent, famous for fine fare at a good price and infamous for its late night bar scene, Birds is truly the cock of the walk when it comes to chicken.
