Trash. It’s over priced and the food looks like it’s aesthetically pleasing but in reality it’s trash, was told by the cashier that they pursue flavor over spicy but I was mislead. Don’t be fooled by the good reviews. It’s whitewashed chicken. Next ! Also no parking whatsoever!!!! Paid $50+.

If you’re looking for Flavor Town, look no further. Chicken was SUPER crunchy and well seasoned and sides were great as well. We will be back and recommend others visit. Clucking amazing and a real bang for the bock!

I went to this restaurant for the first time today, it was very quiet, the food was prepared very quickly. The taste of Christys chicken was good. We ordered The Wok and The Baja. The Wok was sweet. Both were not very spicy.

Solid chicken sandwich and quick service! We tried the Baja with a side of pickles and ranch and were very impressed by the overall flavor and quality! Can’t wait to come back and try more!

If you’re looking for one of the best chicken eateries in LA, look no further. Rockbird offers chicken that once you’ve tried, it won’t be enough even though it’s massive. The chicken is moist and juicy. The flavor is savoring. Start with the chicken tenders and work your way through the menu.You wont be disappointed

Super yummy chicken sandwiches 💯🔥 The spice level is very balanced against the flavor palette. I recommend the Chipotle chicken as well as the Spicy Chicken sandwich. Staff was very courteous, attentive, and friendly. Definitely recommend 👌🏽

Fried Nitro Bird Sandwich with Mac & cheese, 3 strips with Chipotle & Garlic aoli & Cheese fries & Dr pepper to wash it all down. The burger was so delicious! They have a nice chunky piece of meat, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Good flavor with the sauce and other stuff they add inside. Mac and cheese was cooked well and had good texture just wish it was a little bit more salty. The strips were delicious too, cook really nice crispy on the outside juicy inside and the chipotle sauce was really good. The garlic aioli was okay, not a huge fan. I wasnt able to eat there but I know if I did it would have tasted that much better because it was cold by the time I got to eat it. Cute little place in a small Plaza with some parking, you can also park on the street. They do have some seating available outside

What a hidden gem in Glendale! Rockbird is snuggled in a small plaza not too far from the Americana with limited lot parking, but plenty of street parking. The interior has a few seats is very clean, but theyve also set up plenty of outdoor seating on the sidewalk.I came here with my girlfriend and got the fried honey bird sandwich with fries while she got the fried wok sandwich with Brussels sprouts. While the sandwich is definitely on the pricier side, its definitely worth it, considering how large and delicious the sandwich is. The wok sandwich was seasoned perfectly, but I wish the honey sandwich came with more sauce since it was a little bland. The Brussels sprouts were roasted to perfection and the fries had a unique seasoning that tasted so familiar, but I couldnt pinpoint.Overall, we really enjoyed our food and hopefully well be back again soon!

Best chicken sandwiches around hands down. Not only are they huge but the flavors are amazing with every ingredient they use. Popeyes doesnt have anything on this place. Definitely will be adding this restaurant to our monthly diet.

Creative and Delicious!!Grilled Cornish Game Hans, so juicy and tender. Order two pieces without knowing it is two half bird, absolutely stuffed myself during lunch. The bird is the start however the side dishes are equally delicious. Refresh Cali-slaw got my two thumbs up.

This place is so good and the people that work there are awesome. My friend and I had the Wok, they made mine a little spicier which I enjoyed. We also had the fries and fried brussel sprouts which were delicious. Well definitely be back!

Fast service, great filling food. The Nitro chicken sandwich was spicy and the side of Mac was cheesy. The Hibiscus tea + lemonade went perfect with my lunch. A few tables indoors, but plenty outdoor seating.

Delicious grilled chicken. Its seasoned well and served juicy. For two people youd probably want a whole bird which comes with 2 sides, and a junior order of one more side. The garlic potatoes and cauliflower were both favorites.

Rockbird totally lived up to the hype! The chicken was crispy and juicy. Every bite was absolute perfection. The hard part is trying to decide what sandwich to get with what side. I settled for the honey mustard sandwich and it did not disappoint. The side of mac and cheese was incredible.Will definitely be back.

It was alright. The promo photos are better than the real deal. There are a lot of people in the chicken sandwich game. Their Kale Tabbouleh salad was killer, thats for sure.

Great concept. Simple, delicious chicken. Actually, Cornish hens. The chicken is on the sandwiches. The hens were cooked perfectly. They were moist and delicious. The chicken sandwich was tasty with a spicy chili sauce and cole slaw. For sides we had the Mac and cheese, which was as I expected. Tasty and cheesy. The highlight was the brussel sprouts. They were very good. They had a slight citrus flavor and the combination with the red onions was great. We will definitely be back.

Tasty Cornish hens in sandwich or plate with great sides. Hens are seasoned well and cooked perfectly not too dry. 1 piece or a sandwich is great for lunch. The sandwich choices are excellent too. Get 2 hens when hungry. Try the Mac! Superb service too. Little small on the inside.

This is my new go to place in Glendale for a great chicken sandwich! We got one fried and one grilled and both were excellent. I think The best part of the experience was how friendly the owner and the employees were to us. I actually prefer the grilled chicken sandwich, though the fried one was excellent, because it was juicy and went really well with the style I chose, the Wok Bird. Its actually ideal that they give you the option to go full out unhealthy with the fried option and be somewhat healthy with the grilled option. I really like that!

Well seasoned Cornish hen are the heart of the menu at this fast casual style spot launched by the guys who brought us the always busy and teaming with families Lebanese spot Skaffs. Clearly, they are after a younger, hipper, far less kids-in-tow crowd here. Backless seats are all you find here so mom and dad are not gonna dig it. But thats aside from the main attraction here: the birds. The hen comes halved, and its tasty and moist. The sandwiches eat fairly heavy but are undeniably delicious. The sides are classic American and some essy middle eastern turns that go well to balance the salt and fat in the bird. Overall its a nice option in an area thats otherwise overrun with kabob joints.

The chicken sandwich wars are over. Rockbird comes in from thr top rope and crushes it. INCREDIBLE food. Got the heater and fries and both are amazing.

Perfect meal. The Cornish game been, grilled thoroughly. Just enough crunch on the outside, while still being juicy and tender on the inside. Brightly lit and clean interior. First time visiting, so the wait staff explained all the menu items to me. Will return often. Cheers.

Delicious chicken sandwich, got the first one on the menu, crispy with the siracha mayo. Tasty, even walked it home and it stayed crisp through the 15 minute walk. Slaw on top was a great accompaniment. If youre near by, check this spot out.

First time I ordered from this place was via postmates. The experience was different when I dined in.When I had it delivered, the food was still great but the experience was not as good when I dining in. When you dine in, you get to see how clean the place is because of proper lighting and the tables have those hangers where you can place your bags in. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by the cashier and was very helpful in educating me what they best sellers were.I went with the one in the picture (I forgot the name, but it had honey mustard in it) and a fries and soda combo. I chose the unique soda rootbeer they had and it was tasty. And the fries chico, they never lie. Look at the serving they have! Thats good for 3 people.Nevertheless, I had an awesome experience and it made me wonder why theyre not as popular as popeyes sandwich chicken or chick-fil-a

Fantastic place! I love Skaf’s Lebanese Cuisine and the same owners have opened Rockbird.The grilled chicken is juicy and delicious.Simple idea but very yummy.The sides are all fantastic. Brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes are out of this world.

Good sandwiches made while you wait in a comfortable setting. Sides are worth exploring more, since the mashed potato and the sprouts where amazing!Will be back for more

These birds rock!There, I used a pun.If youre looking for tasty sandwiches, wings, and all the fare youd expect alongside that, this is the place. If you expect great service, this is the place.If you dont want those things... still eat here. Even just for the Brussels sprouts.

Felt mostly like a hot chicken spot masquerading as a sandwich shop. Yes, your sandwich can come grilled, but thats not why people come here. Everything is served a la carte. Got the nitro fried (essentially the Buffalo chicken sandwich). I was disappointed they couldnt be bothered to actually toss the chicken in the sauce, but instead just squirted a lot of sauce on top mostly ruining the flavor of the slaw that was stacked on top. They toss the tenders to make them spicy. So I dont see the issue. The chicken isnt bad; It isnt remarkable either. Though, this place kind of shines when you get to the sides. Everything could stand to be about a dollar cheaper but the tenders are a better deal than the sandwiches. Indoor seating is minimal. There is some outdoor seating but if were talking a summer afternoon it is best just to get it to go. Parking can be less than ideal most hours of the day

I just tried this place. It has pretty good reviews, but you never know til you experience it yourself. Server/cashier is nice and very friendly. I ordered one piece, 3 chicken strips, fries, brussel sprouts, tabouleh, green beans, one Diet Coke. The one piece was okay, I guess because it is fried, I didnt really enjoyed it that much, and it didnt really have great taste but its still better than other fast food chicken. What helped was the creamy garlic sauce that they have. Without that garlic sauce, nothing on my plate would be enjoyable. Brussel sprouts couldve been better if its not fried and I regretted that I ordered fries because I ended up having too much fried food. So after few bites I had to stop eating. I brought home the rest of brussel sprouts and 1.5 chicken strips. The rest went to waste. I ordered too much but anyway, I got my experience and at least I tried once.

Awesome awesome awesome! Had spicy tenders and the Nitro sandwich. The sandwich needed nothing! Crispy chicken, fabulous sauce, perfectly complementing slaw and soft bun. The tenders were crispy and light on the outside and extra soft inside. I wish I could cook like this! Love how light the chicken seems, I could keep eating and not feel oily!

2022-11-22 14:29:54

So damn good! 🔥 First time here and glad I found it. The service was friendly and the food, even better. I got the Baja Bird (medium heat) with side of Mac n’ cheese. The spicyness felt perfect and you have the option to have the chicken fried or grilled so that’s nice. Overall amazing and look forward to coming back!

2022-06-26 15:41:55

Service was great. The people working there were super nice and professional. The inside of the place was clean and well kept.Food was just as good. I got the Wok, which had like a sriracha and honey glaze which was really good. The chicken was crispy/juicy, and somehow felt a lot less greasy than most places I’ve tried. I got the Kale Taboulli as a side, which was lowkey almost as good as the stuff my mom makes. Really, really impressed with this place, definitely try it if you’re in the area.

Amazing food. Chicken sandwich was freshly grilled with quality chicken breast. The tenders were huge and not frozen and breaded like usual. They tasted like boneless fried chicken. Both came with a side. The Mac and cheese was home made and creamy. Large portions for $. Nice outdoor seating.

My wife is a vegetarian and I think she would be happy to eat here. The sides and salad selection is great! I got The chicken sandwich because I am not a vegetarian! It was awesome and its not often one sandwich fills me up! The ample fries were some of the best I have had. I am not a huge chicken fan but this place makes a good sandwich. I will be going back for the chicken 🐓.

WOW. I am blown away by this place! I truly hope people consider trying this place when faced with other chicken sandwiches places at their disposal. This restaurant really knows what they’re doing!First off, the customer service was fantastic! We were greeted, given an explanation of the menu, and the staff suggestions. We ultimately went with the Fried Nitro Bird sandwich and Spicy Tenders with honey mustard, ranch, and Habanero Buffalo sauces on the side (but we struggled making a decision, they all sounded so good). The Fried Nitro Bird sandwich was PHENOMENAL. It was so tasty without the heat overpowering the flavors. Some places you go are all about heat, and you don’t truly taste the flavors and spices that are thought out for the food. THAT WAS NOT THE CASE! The flavors tied in so well together and we didn’t dip the sandwich in any extra sauce once! The tenders were so moist and tender, not a single ounce of dryness to taste. They were so nice to give us a side of the sweet chili sauce to try (their signature sauce, I believe?) and it was delightful. The habanero Buffalo was our second favorite. It wasn’t too spicy, but definitely flavorful.Highly recommend this place to all!

If youre looking for a REAL chicken sandwich, this is your spot. The dude who took our order was super friendly and warned me The Heater was hott but I still went for it and he was not lying. But it was the good heat! The chicken was the crunchiest Ive had in my life(and I grew up in the south). Do yourself a favor and skip poppys and go straight to ROCKBIRD!

This place won me over when I first tried the western. Hands down its one of the top 3 chicken sandwiches I ever had.The staff is amazing and always super friendly the kitchen super clean and that to me says a lot of things about a place.The only reason I am putting 4 stars instead of 5 its because I cant pay 17.5 bucks every time I crave for this delicious chicken sandwich. Thats the total if you want to add fries in your order. But real talk who does not want fries when they are eating this type of food??So price wise its like they are making me go somewhere else. Dont get me wrong price meets quality I get that but you cant sell chicken sandwiches without having the option of the combo it does not make sense. Instead its 12 $ for the sandwich and if you want to order fries they cost 4.5 thats just too much money. Start making some kind of deals guys I want to support this amazing food and place.But right now the menu its just ovepriced. And I am not talking about the chicken sandwiches. How is that ppossible I dont know.

Chicken sandwich not great at all. I literally waisted $20. It was a dry and soggy mess. I can literally taste the grease. It got two stars because the fries were ok. Not great but ok. I do not recommend this place

TASTY! Impressed with fried chicken texture. Super welcoming staff. Pricing is what youd expect for freshly prepared food. Parking is terrible, like 9 spots for a strip mall. So prepare for that. Dont judge by its decor - best for quick bite.

2018-03-02 00:02:08

The food is good. Its all chicken and sides. Chicken tenders are definitely not just for kids, they are big and juicy and the sauces that go with it are great. The brussel sprouts are my favorite side, not what you would expect and really good. Havent had the chicken breast but my friends seem to like them and its a lot of food. Mac and cheese is okay but not that exciting, and the other sides are varying degrees of really good and okay.The people there are super friendly and helpful. The space is a little rough for eating in if you have a group of any size. Seems like theyre still getting settled into the space so I expect it to only improve.

Review №65

2021-10-11 07:28:10

Tasty chicken sandwiches, nice and crispy fries and a friendly staff. Worth a visit. I had The Heater which is their version of a Nashville hot chicken sandwich and it was good. Not particularly spicy, so if youre looking for a Howlin Rays type experience this isnt the place. But theyve got HRs beat in the number of other flavors on offer so theres that. The parking lot is fairly treacherous to navigate so Id recommend parking on either Chevy Chase or Colorado and just hoofing it an extra 20ft.

Ordered pickup and when I went in I got some rough customer service. Since the bag was stapled I trusted that everything was in there. Sadly when I got home there all the sauces I chose for the tenders were missing. The saving grace was that the food was pretty close to excellent especially all the sides! Yes on the brussels and potatos. I’ve been meaning to try this place once since it’s in my neighborhood for awhile and I’m glad that I did!

I ordered the 1 piece roasted chicken (wing and breast) with 2 sides (garlic mashed potatoes & garlic string beans). My meal was tasty. My son ordered the fried baja chicken sandwich and mac & cheese. He was very happy with his meal as well. Customer service was excellent. I would definitely eat here again.

We were in the area and decided to try it. I love chicken sandwiches. I just like em, and will order them over a burger every time. This was hands down, the very best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. I believe I wept very soon after my first bite. The bun, coleslaw, hand breaded chicken breast, and above all, the pickle slices, make up a flavor combination, that Zeus himself would dream about. It was the perfect blend of, buttery soft, crispy crunch, juicy chicken, saucy coleslaw, sweet tangy honey mustard, all tied together with the big green bow of the perfect pickle. I shall return, for sure, for this glorious mouth greatness, as soon as I can. Don’t forget your bib.

Actually pretty upset that they got rid of their half Cornish hens and changed it for a deep fried chicken sandwich and wings format.Theyre chicken sandwiches are good and so are the sides, but honestly I came for the hens. I might go try the wings and do an updated review. But until then, i dont really have a reason to come back over other restaurants in the area.

One of the very best chicken tenders Ive ever had! Their tenders are battered and fried like fried chicken on the bone and their honey mustard is perfect 50/50 mixture of mustard and honey. Excited to go back.

It is a decent spot in Glendale.I ordered a chicken sandwich which I didnt know included 1 side.The staff was friendly. They offer refills when you dine in.I wished I had taken a picture of the sandwich as it was my 1st time there. We shared it and still got full! quaint spot - however the parking area is small and limited.Ill go back to try other sandwiches.

Delicious chicken sandwich! Chicken was crispy outside and very moist inside, I got it with a side of their fried Brüssel sprouts which were equally as delicious! Would recommend to anyone craving quality savory chicken!

Review №76

2022-04-03 00:36:06

The chicken sandwhich was deeeeeeeeelicious but Rockbird gets 3 stars because the ketchup + frie game is a little weak. There are no ramekins so I cant dunk my fries and with little realestate to work with im left with creating a mess. Ontop of that the fries were served lukewarm and cold soon after. For 4.50 which is almost as much as a gallon of gas they should be hot🔥 🔥🔥I would not agree with google that Rockbirds is 1 $ but I will go back here again if just for the sandwhiches. 😎🤙🏻

Very clean environment. Chicken was delicious/juicy/moist. They have a variety of chicken sandwiches/wings/and Cornish hens. Ask for the garlic potatoes that are off the menu 😁 the staff was also very helpful and friendly and accommodated our requests.

2018-02-25 22:21:31

Best food Ive had in Glendale so far. The wok bird sandwich is one the yummiest sandwiches Ive ever tasted. You have to try the Cornish game hen too. Bring friends and try all the sides. I tried the fried cauliflower (good) and spicy garlic potatoes (amazing). I didnt expect to love all the sauces but I did - especially the garlic sauce. Dip your fries in it. Do yourself a favor and get the lemonade too. Its perfectly not-too-sweet

I don’t understand the sign “gourmet chicken” there’s nothing gourmet about any of this. Fried chicken is ok. It taste like homemade by an 8 yr old kid. Fries is soggy. I mean, cmon?!!

This may be the best chicken sandwich in Los Angeles. All the sides are great as well, especially the Brussels sprouts and the tasty French fries. Love the WokBird.

Boss Brussels and chicken. Everyone else wouldnt shut up about the mac and cheese, so Im guessing its good as well.

Ive only tried the sandwiches here and they are phenomenal! Relaxed environment with limited inside seating but a good sized patio with shade and more seating. The staff have great energy. 1 downside is the lack of ac on hot days so probably best to visit after sundown.

Great food and friendly staff. Ive tried all the sandwiches and they were all delicious. The Wok Bird and heater are my favorites but I recommend trying them all. You cannot go wrong with the 3 cheese pasta for a side.

OMG, this little spot in Glendale is so delicious! A friend who lives in the area suggested it and it did not fail. Their cornish game hen is grilled to perfection and their sides are just amazing - mac n cheese and slaw. My friend LOVES their fried chicken sandwich. Im typically not one to write reviews often but I was so impressed by their food and wonderful customer service that I just had to share the joy of this place with others. Go check it out - it will not fail : )

The Wok bird might be the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. The crunch, the sauce, the flavors - amazing. I love it with the brussel sprouts or fries. Everything I’ve had from Rockbird is delicious! And the order is always ready quickly.

Delicious chicken sandwiches served with well developed sides. The brussel sprouts had some great flavor but were a little more soggy than I had hoped. The macaroni was pretty typical and so were the mashed potatoes, as such I felt that they could easily improve on their flavors and textures. The cole slaw was flavorful and lighter than I had expected, perfect for the sandwiches. This is definitely going to be a spot I go to regularly!Edit: March, 2020: I have gone back several times and have upped my rating to 5. This place has only gotten better. The potato salad is improved, the mac is one of the best in LA, and the sandwiches are flawless everytime!

If you want tasty chicken and great sides (that are huge portions), all with quality ingredients at a cheap price- come here. I havent found this quantity/quality for this cheap elsewhere. I love the Cali-slaw and Roasted Brussel Sprouts, but the Baked Mac-n-Cheese screams at me every time.

Ok so its good, but it was also just average at the same time. By this I mean it tasted very cliche, only a notch above pollo loco. The seasoning mix really just made it taste like so many other roast or grilled chicken that you encounter in many places. All in all its not a place I would go out of my way to hit, nor take someone here as a special treat. Its just decent, and nothing more.

Delicious! The chicken is tender and the toppings are perfect. I love the variety of sandwiches and sides you can get. They have indoor and outdoor seating, to go, and delivery through UberEats. The brussle sprouts are to die for!!!

2019-09-28 11:59:07

Sides we chose was Mac and cheese and brussel sprouts. Chicken were grilled very well.. chicken skin was crispy and meat were not dried. They have three sauce options: the best one is the garlic one. Mac and cheese was tasty. Think they bake the Mac and cheese a little because the cheese were a little hard.. very tasty. Brussel sprouts were with balsamic dressing .. it were well cooked be it wasnt hard. Definitely will come back if we are around the area

The place was very clean, but only high stools to sit on. I thought the prices were extremely expensive! $10 for sandwiche is ridiculous. Have yet to eat it so I hope its just as delicious as it has been claimed.Ok, just finished the sandwich and Brussels sprouts. Sandwich was huge and juicy. Too much for one sitting though. I did not care for the mustard sauce or Aioli side sauce. The sprouts were ok. A large serving, enough for 2 people. Would I go here again? No.

Came to the LA area for a visit. Chicken sandwiches are my thing and this place was off the charts! Tried the grilled hen on day one (which was on point) and had to double back for the sandwich on day two! Superior service and excellent quality. Will be back!

I’m not a fan of fried chicken sandwiches at all, but Rockbird made me change my mind! I tried their new Heater sandwich and all I can say is YUM! The chicken was cooked perfectly, super juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The spicy chili glaze and cajun aioli is a great combo, kind of like Asian flavor meets southern! The house spicy salt and cilantro fries were just as delicious! The flavors here are so unique and different from other fried chicken places! Rockbird gets 5 stars in my book.

2018-02-28 03:30:20

This place is amazingly delicious! But only if you like real food. Dont get me wrong, love me some processed fast food! But if you care, even just a little bit, about how you feel and how real fresh food tastes this place is the spot! This is a katones diets dream. Crazy cheap for how fresh the food is. Dont walk, run to this place.

2019-03-24 20:11:52

Delicious. I had the sandwich with the Asian flare (cant remember the exact name) and the brussel sprouts. Both were awesome. I didnt leave a single sprout leaf behind. Highly recommended...I know Ill be back.

When I told my bf that Id found somewhere that we could get cornish hen, he insisted that we check it out. We tried just the hen, no sides. It was amazing. The hen is delicious, the sauces were great--although unnecessary if you arent into sauce, and the owner (?) was really nice and helpful. The cornish hen was cooked perfectly and served very hot and fresh. We will definitely be returning, and we will try the sides next time.

Delicious chicken sandwiches. The chicken in them is actually bigger than the actual buns! Try the Wok Bird and ask them to add hit sauce. The Mac and cheese is perfectly baked too. Definitely bringing my squad here next time

One of the best chicken sandwiches and Mac n cheese in LA hands-down!! Had the mac fresh out the oven and was on cloud 9!!!If you’re on the fence, just go and give it a try!!Note: parking lot is TINY so expect to look for side street parking

First time here at the YARDBIRD and...Amazing taste and flavor on the hens! Well done on the seasoning. I got to talk to one of the owners. I think his name was, Christoper. Great guy. Glendale needs more local small businesses like this. Back to the Food...The mac n cheese couldnt have been more cheesy. Love it! Kale tabouli was also a hit for me. I also ordered a Júnior side of Brussel sprouts that was probably the best Ive had in a long time. Definitely coming back here after a solid work out at the gym.

Nice new place with a different take on bbq. Almost a fusion between traditional bbq and zankou chicken. All of the sides we had were very good, and the Cornish game hen was juicy and delicious. Came with three dipping sauce all of which were good. Only downside is that it is hard to dismantle a small bird like a game hen.

Small menu focused on perfect Cornish hens, with healthy delicious simple sides. I had the Cali-slaw and the corn on the cob. Hubby had the kale tabouli and Mediterranean salad. The carb options are a decadent Yukon gold mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese with panko crust. Looked and smelled delicious too. Find street parking if the lot is full.

I really enjoyed my meal here. Great sides, all made in house. They only use Cornish Game Hens, so be prepared to eat a whole bird and feel like a caveman. I mean this in the best way possible. I recommend the garlic aioli and chipotle sauce. Dip in the aioli, then chipotle, bada bing you got a great flavor party happenin in your mouth babyyyyyyyy
