Mama Bird - Jennings Lodge

First time here. Cute and clean place, I like watching the open kitchen as they cook and prepare the food, plate presentation was amazing.Marion Berry mule is good.MB cornbread is not bad but not what we expected, lots of grains texture which was different, not moist as I'm use to. The whipped butter was great. I just wish it came out warmer it was room temperature) but served in a cast iron.Ceaser Salad was disappointing, look like a ceaser but didn't taste like it, only enjoyed the crostini part.Sweet potato was surprisingly my favorite dish, the sauce was different but I enjoyed it more than I thought.Season veggies was Mexican corn. It was ok, the sauce was a little spicy.Whole bird was nicely cut up into pieces and reassemble on the plate, I appreciate that. I had pretty high expectations since the it's their specialty. The chicken did not disappoint. Very moist and perfectly cooked. I am a sauce person, but the chicken was good on its own. But of course I still like the sauce they provided. The aji Verde was my personal favorite sauce. The chimichurri was ok. The smoke garlic miso was ok as well but I probably won't get that one next time.Parking: Street parking, paid during 9am-7pm free after but there isn't much parking. We lived close so we walked there.Kid-friendliness: There isn't a kid menu but a lot of the food on the menu can enjoyed by all ages. I know my kids would like it.

Great chicken and sauces! Cornbread was a little dry but it was gluten free.

Had the full bird, grilled herb potatoes, and the grilled oyster mushrooms. Food was incredible, best grilled chicken I’ve ever had. All the sauces were great, you can’t go wrong. Root beer on top was also great. Great vibes. Food took a little while, but honestly we’ll worth the wait. Highly recommend.

$6 dollars for a soda and over an hour wait for a burger only for it to be well done instead of medium rare? The mama bird salad was heavily over salted and underwhelming. The only saving grace for the salad was the peaches. Over priced.

Have been in the neighborhood for one week and have eaten here 3 times. Every appetizer is amazing, every salad is delicious, and the chicken literally melts in your mouth. Chef Gabriel has built an amazing seasonal menu and his team make the restaurant feel like a home away from home.Parking: neighborhood parking all around.
