My colleague wanted to try something new and suggested we try Birds.We always drive by and it’s packed with people.Usually it’s a sign food is good.Well for me I don’t get what the big hype is. The place itself is cool.Didn’t particularly like a sign that they have on the wall that states something about loose women.Sure the sign comes off as funny, but might make some women upset.Especially now a days. Our server was good, but seemed swamped as he had all the tables and a Buser to assist.He still remained attentive which was amazing. We ordered fried pickles.They were some of the best I’ve ever had and their sauce was on point. I also had the French onion soup.Not a big fan.Too much bread in the soup.You can also taste allot of butter from them toasting the baguette before they put in the soup.The soup itself didn’t exhibit much flavors.The mozzarella wasn’t very good either.Not sure what brand they use, but it’s definitely not of high quality.Also, this is one of the most expensive French onion soups I’ve had.For that being said…definitely not worth the price. My colleague and I both had burgers.Yes, I know we go to a chicken place to get beef.The buns were dry.Meat was cooked perfectly, but had no salt or any flavor. The Mac and cheese that came with my burger was exactly that.No effort, no wow factor, and no seasonings.Just pasta, cheese, and a sprinkle of bread crumbs on top.Box Mac & cheese is way better than this…lol. I tasted my colleges baked beans.They were good with allot of smoky flavor. All and all I don’t really know what the buzz is about either this place, because if you truly had people who had a good pallet this place probably wouldn’t be open as long as it has been.Not a fan and would only recommend the fried pickles with maybe a beer.
After a hike to the Hollywood Sign, my friend found a great local business that's known for their rotisserie chicken. They have outdoor seating by the sidewalk which was full when we arrived at 130 pm but we were promptly seated after a table opened up. I had a salad with added chicken and was surprised by the large portion of chicken breast. Unfortunately I found the chicken a bit dry but the rest of the salad and dressing complemented well. My friend enjoyed the tuna burger and I noticed it had plenty of fixings and looked flavorful. The staff was great in checking in every so often, and I can understand why this place is a local favorite.
Great spot in Hollywood to post up for a moment.It’s across from the celebrity Scientology center and next to UCB so lots of good people watching.It was very loud inside so we are on the patio.We went for late night loitering so food was classic bar far - nice to munch on but nothing that will change your life, all to say, it does the job!
