“Had a fantastic birthday dinner here and really enjoyed ourselves. My 23 ounce steak was cooked just right and was super tender, and the rest of our food was equally well prepared. The service was excellent and we shared the complimentary birthday cake for dessert. Highly recommended, but do note it's a bit expensive.“

“Everything is absolutely perfect plus. I tried each mealtime separately over the last 3 weeks. The food absolutely fills your belly and the staff feel like you could've known them forever. Hospitality is a must for me and they far exceed that. They treat you like you're number one. I do believe it's genuine and not just doing it for tips. Thank you for treating me, my husband and my children like neighbors. I've had breakfast lunch and dinner now.Parking: Roomy. Definitely plenty of spaces though it seems like they could be full anytime.Kid-friendliness: The first time I went, I took my kids. Talkative and the server was so in tune with them and was totally able to keep up with them. There are kid food choices and we had such a great time. It was an experience not just another lunch!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair parking and doors.“

“The atmosphere is a great place to start. Hip and stylish yet cozy and friendly. The menu is aesthetically pleasing and contains uniquely named items. The item of choice for me was My Boy Bleu with a side of their Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese. Everything was delicious and well prepared. The chicken was tender, as good chicken should be. I'd highly recommend Love Bird to anyone looking for something out of the norm.“

“On have had chicken and waffles this good in a long time. The onion rings were just right, and we also ordered the knuckle bowl which had eggs, hash browns, chicken, shrimp and andouille sausage. ?. The drinks were out of this world good and well balanced. We tried the watermelon ranch water and a spicy margarita. We can’t wait to go back. I recommend if the weather permits sitting outside. The inside is nice, but the location is so beautiful it makes you want to be outside. Brandon did a great job taking care of us. The staff is very friendly.Parking: Parking is free for two hours and the rest that’s a had table time of two hours. It worked out well.“

“Had a 327.00$ take out order for a family luncheon. Monster Lobster Rolls and a deluxe BBQ pack. The food was amazing. Fresh delicious Lobster and plenty of it. The BBQ was moist and perfect. The sides especially the mac n cheese and potato salad were like homemade. The wings were meaty and smoky Definitely recommend.“
