Birds Rotisserie Chicken Cafe

I went here for the first time last week and loved it. It is in a cool and trendy sort of neighborhood, which is perfect. The food is really good too! The artichoke garlic dipping sauce is solid.

I come to Bird's to drink more often than to eat, but I can attest the chicken wraps are delicious.

The one thing that always strikes me about this bar is that there is no jukebox, no visible way for the bartenders to control the music,

SUCH a fun place to have dinner. I absolutely love the food, and I've never had to wait too long for a table (10-15 at most).

Every waiter/waitress I've come in contact with has been nothing but friendly and sociable. If you're looking

I used to go to BIRDS for many years. My friends gave me crap about it, saying the food was terrible, the staff had attitude... but being a former server, I can understand the thrills of dealing with drunks and crazy customers and hey,

Great food and drinks. I love the atmosphere too.

we waited for over an hour and when we called about our order, she said they don't do anything about that and other people are usually cool with it.

Pros: big portions pretty good food

Cons: way too long on delivery and the manager is RUDE

This place is scary and violent. There are always problems here, and everyone seems to want to fight - too much drinking and nothing else. The food is sub par.

Pros: Franklin Village

Cons: Scary Place

It's the same old tired crowd every night. All the regulars who live in the area go there 4-5 nights a week. Most probably because it's a short stumble back home at the end of the night. I can't think of any other reason one would want to

Pros: cheap drinks

Cons: No chicks

LOVE this place. Have been going for years and it never disappoints. Great food, nice crowd, good strong drinks. It's a neighborhood bar, perfect for a Saturday or Sunday brunch with cocktails in the sun.

Pros: food, drinks, atmosphere

Cons: parking sometimes

First time I've been to birds in a long time... The food was great... a combination of koo koo roo and bar food.\r
\r
My problem... I am an avid vodka drinker (well that's not really a problem). I drink it straight, on the rocks, with a

I had just moved out to Hollywood and fell upon this bar on a Monday afternoon...it was the best fall I could have taken...I met a lot of locals as well as TV personalities over the next few years.(but do not tell anyone b/c they come

Pros: food and drinks fun and affordable

Cons: only that there ae not enough bar seats...

I love this place. Excellent food, great music , & hip/casual atmosphere. Great for lunch or dinner & excellent for late nite drinks.

This place is a New York-style eatery/bar. Loud, noisy and full of energy. It is not for the weak-kneed or the uninitiated. When I met my agent here for dinner, it was crowded with diners.....this was at 9PM on a Wednesday night! The

Pros: Full of energy, reasonable prices, friendly patrons and strong drinks.

Cons: No Parking, I repeat NO PARKING. Either Valet for $3.50 or catch a cab.

How this place is in business is a mystery to me. My girlfriend and I stopped by to have a late nite dinner and some drinks. What we got was terrible service, guys fist fighting, and a girl that was obviously so intoxicated she started

Cons: DRUNKS, DIRTY, RUDE

this place is a great neighborhood hangout, as for all the people who have bad things to say yea sometimes the service isnt up to par but if your that high maintenance go to a $50 a plate restaurant your paying on average 20 -30 per

Cons: valet that takes up neighborhood parking and charges customers for free street parking

Sometimes drunk people do stupid things...like break sinks off the wall because they think it's "funny". Can't fix it at midnight, can ya? Please don't blame management on some drunk schlub. Servers are often slammed...know why?....because

Pros: cheap chicken, cute servers, PM happy hour

Cons: drunk people do stupid things

If you're in desperate need of booty call, Birds is the place to go. Generally you want to go Wednesday through Saturday, and definitely get there by the start of happy hour. Then you want to look for a dark Asian girl with a saddlebag

My friends and I went to Birds around Halloween time this year (2006). My buddies and I waited a long time before our orders were taken and when they were we were spoken to rudely and criticized for looking young. If you want to park your

Encouraged by neighbors to check it out at least once, we chose to stop by this place on a Friday evening. Big mistake. Had to wait one hour and ended up receiving under par service, if not bad. I feel sorry for the guests and the

Pros: Scenery

Cons: Space! Service, Pricey

The only thing I like about Birds is the quaint location. Aside from that, too packed. Lack of service. If you wanna do the old "LA thing" of trying to look good, this might be the place for you. Horrible bathrooms. Who manages this

Pros: Location

Cons: Horrible Bathrooms, Bad Karma, A Dive taking a dive

I normally love the food at Birds and previously would have recommeded it. We went there yesterday for an early dinner and my husband went to the bathroom. When he was in there he noticed that there was no sink. NO SINK people. Just some

Pros: can't give any after this past experience

Cons: gross bathroom, unsanitary conditions

Located on Hollywood's trendy bohemian (aka full of bums and freaks and wannabe hipsters) row Franklin, this place serves delicious rotisserie chicken comparable to Koo-Koo-Roo and average side dishes. The "homemade" potatoes were

Pros: Rotisserie Chicken, Freak-watching, Cute Shops nearby

Cons: Service, Scientologists, Frat Boys

New to the area ... we are notorious for NOT trying new places but we decided to take advantage of our new location and walked up to Franklin St. and decided on Birds. Great food! The sandwhich was great (can't remember the name but it

Pros: Atmosphere, food

Cons: Busy ... but it's a good place, of course it'll be busy!

Mostly decorated in red, it is a cozy place where you can hang out in one of the booths to have some dinner or chill by the bar area for some reasonably priced drinks. I love their bbq chicken wrapped with cabbage and cheese in a

I was supossed to go to this trendy club but instad went to this spot. A night to remember. It had great prices, great people. and I was incouraged to dance on the bar.

Pros: lots of girls, inexpensive drinks, nice owner

I never had a rice bowl before, but m=now i'm addicted!!!! My sister laughs and says its all her doing. I was there on Monday february 21 and there was a blackout. All I wanted was a rice bowl and i was afraid I wouldn't be able to get

Pros: awesome servers, awesome food, good people

Cons: kinda crowded, some snooty people, thats it

If you can forgive the eternally slammed wait staff, you'll love Birds! I've been there at least 10 times and the food has never disappointed me. Sometimes the jerks that come there do, (like this loud jerk off who was hanging over our

Pros: Great food, Great price, Fun place

Cons: VERY busy!, Ditzy waitstaff, Idiototic/loud patron

My girlfriend lives down the street so I come here all the time, whether I'm picking up a quick order of Chicken or getting wasted and dancing on the bar with my friends for my birthday. The owner is SO nice too. I love it here.

Pros: Fun, Cheap, Nice Patrons andStaf

The worse meal I've had in an LA restaurant! To start with, the $6 class of red house wine was tiny. I ordered the Turkey Pot Pie which was the daily special (usually the safest bet) and it had been sitting in a warming oven for hours.

Pros: Quaint, Nice Bar Crowd, Fun Atmosphere

Cons: Awful Food, Tiny Drinks, Terrible Service

why would anyone play bad hip hop from the early 90's??? the humpty dance, wrecks and effects?? if you want to relive bad music you heard at your eighth grade dance go to the birds. the ambience was horrible!!!!

I've come here a few times, and the food is very average. You would think a place called birds would have more birds on its menu than merely chicken. And the chicken is nothing special. If you want to hang around people who own

This area on Franklin is great and Birds adds to that charm. It has a "kick-back" feel, but there is also a lot of energy in the place. It's very cozy at night with the candlelit patio. The food is great.....nothing fancy about the

Pros: Ambiance, Price, Charm

Cons: Valet/parking

The bar staff is awesome. The waiters are fun too. The beers are really expensive (like $22 for a pitcher of Bass) but the food's tasty. I'd say it's a better lunch place than a dinner place, but the food's not bad. The only problem is

Pros: Great staff, Good food

Cons: Beer prices, Beer selections, Parking

Birds is way uber-chic for my taste. The food's good, if slim on variety. The bar is about a stone's-throw from the rest of the restaurant, so don't expect to actually speak with your party while a game's on. The service is good, if

Pros: good

Cons: crowded

I got a gift certificate to this place for 50 bucks and threw away the balance! I got a chicken sandwhich and heres the details: It was all mayo, hot lettuce, chicken fat and knuckles, and gross bread. The scene is the biggest transplant

Pros: they have a bar

Cons: gross food, lame crowd, too crowded

Great chicken and everything you can think of. Try the chicken meatloaf. Split it with someone or take half of it home. The bar is friendly especially on Friday and Saturday nights. Definitely a great place for a star sighting on

Their chicken wings and onion rings are fantastic. Somewhat lame beer selection, but the drinks are reasonably priced. Good place to go girl watching, if you're into that kind of thing...

Birds is a great place to grab a bite, grab a drink or both. It's a mix of locals and some celebrities (Alyssa Milano and Felicity cast members are spotted frequently) but there's no pretense and everyone is just "hanging out." The
