Birdies — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I have no problems writing about Birdies was a great sandwich! I had the spicy chicken with ghost pepper mayo. GF had the regular for a dollar less. We has two Cole slaws and a nuttella banana donut for dessert. Tiny place in downtown but there was overflow seating next door. They had loads of yeast style donuts for sale as well as the chicken sammies, fries n coleslaw (menu attached). The sandwich I had was strong spice but still flavorful a really tasty sandwich. I'd say a smooth heat, but not burn your mouth. Girlfriend said my face went red so strong yes. My girlfriends was more mild but the cheddar cheese gave it a nice twang. I'm being picky but the bun could have been slightly more stronger. Was creative to finish the last 1/4. Coleslaw was vinegar based and quite crunchy. Staff there was awesome. Didn't get names but tall dude followed up on me. I had asked about the spice level on the spicy sammie and he made sure I liked what I ordered. Shorter guy packing togo and other orders was really nice too. He made sure people had their donuts and played some chill music. Really nice and helpful guys. Don't know about restroom did not ask. Parking was tight, but hey downtown. Two spots in front, 5 or so in back but they stayed pretty full. A short, 3 minute walk south we found 6$ city parking on a SUN wide open. For the adventurous to explore the area there were those rent electric scooters outside. Summary:: A nice casual chicken sandwich place as advertised. Chill while you wait music. Awesome donuts in a few of the popular flavors. Would definitely hit this place again for a quick bite....

I ordered the Nashville Hot chicken sandwich and I ordered it Hot Hot Dark meat. It was pretty hot, i could feel my mouth and lips begin burn however I think it could've been even hotter. Their potato salad was pretty good, I may be mistaken but it tasted like it had purple onion with celery and dill, perhaps more was in there but that was something I could distinctively taste and see. My boyfriend ordered the chicken tenders and they were pretty big. they offer 3, 4 or 5 tenders and he did not finished he last two, however if you can eat a good amount i would order the 5 pieces. I ordered the Arnold Palmer and he got a mexican Coke bottle. We both ordered donuts, I got the pistachio donut which is light minty green in color however to me it did not taste like pistachio. The employees there mentioned that the pistachio was the more popular donut however as much as i did like it i think i would have liked the Galaxy or the maple bacon donut. Neddless to say the donuts were great i just felt that the pistachio donut had a light citrusy taste. my boyfriend order the D'ohnut which is supposed to be inspired by Homer Simpson. The donut was soft and light and the cream cheese frosting was perfect. Overall great food,...

What I've Tried Birdies Spicy Birdies Breakfast Sandwich Sampled ALL the Donuts :)

I fell in love with this place the first few times visited. The Birdies Spicy won me over instantly with the Ghost Pepper mayo. It had a good kick and went well with the crispy fried chicken, refreshing coleslaw and soft brioche bun.

I love that they let you sample all the donuts before purchasing. Most places would be annoyed AND not even let you sample at all. My favorite donuts are the Lemon Pistachio Thyme and the Horchata Twist. HOWEVER, the donuts are ONLY GOOD DAY OF. When they are even a day old, it is NOT GOOD AT ALL. :( SO SAD RIGHT? The worker told me it is because of the yeast they use. It is not suppose to last more than a day.

The Birdies Breakfast Sandwich was good, the FIRST time I ordered it. The second time, the egg was overcooked, there was NO sauce in the sandwich. I asked for sauce inside AND on the side. They must have misheard and only put it on the side. Sad. It is annoying to have to add the sauce on your sandwich constantly and to have an overcooked egg. I love sunny side. :( I don't think I will be back anymore. It was a huge let down on...
