Las Vegas off strip dining has caught fire over the last 5
years, giving rise to chefs fanning passion for their craft while creating gratification
amongst their guests’ miles away from the neon lights.
Recently the embers have fallen in Southern
Highlands with a newer culinary hotspot, Mama Bird whose Southern Kitchen’s
grills and smokers are heating things up with their authentic southern comfort
food that brings back mouth-watering memories of anyone born in the south or
beyond.
Waking into Mama Bird, diners feel welcomed as a hungry
chick waiting for Mama’s goodness. While entering the communal dining space
complete with checkered tablecloths and quaint memorabilia, enticing aromas urge
one to pull up a chair, look over the menu, relax and prepare for a down home
meal experience.
“We are a southern inspired kitchen and smokehouse that
celebrates and revives what it means to enjoy home-made, backyard-smoked dishes
with a modern take on traditional creations,” said manager Zachary Substanley.
A brilliant way to begin is Liam's Ginger Beer, house made, hand
crafted and non-alcoholic. It’s made fresh from just four natural ingredients: purified
water, fresh ginger, hand squeezed lime juice and raw sugar. With no preservatives or artificial flavors this
Ginger Beer is crisp and refreshing, providing the perfect thirst quencher to
whatever menu item you may choose.
Breakfast provides a plethora of choices with the added
bonus of being able to order this items-all day. No matter how you enjoy your eggs,
whether scrambled, sunny side up, over easy, over medium over hard as well as
soft whites, raw yoke or firm yoke, poached or basted, Mama Bird delivers with
“eggs-pert” preparation. Other breakfast items will have you crowing with
delight. Dig into the Sausage Gravy
& Biscuits, Fried Chicken and Waffle and even Chicken Fried Steak as well
as the Here Piggy, Piggy Omelet- a brilliant bacon sausage omelet featuring Mama’s
seasoned potatoes and the “everything” biscuit with a shoulder of bacon and
American cheese.
Begin with their Wicked Deviled Eggs-candied jalapeno and of
course bacon. Fried Chicken sandwiches are all the rage right now. Mama’s Fried
Chicken Sandwich on a fresh potato roll, pickle, tomato and their own “comeback
sauce” holds it own with the best. Pro
tip for spice lovers-order it “M.M.A.D HOT”.
Get your appetite ready and dive into a Fried Chicken Plate with
your pick of tenders, boneless thigh or boneless breast. After all, Mama’s is
known for their Barbecue Plates so there is really no excuse not to indulge.
First up, the Salt & Pepper Smoked Brisket is intensely prepared, redolent
and tender, a must in curing a carnivore’s craving or indulge in the succulent Pecan
smoked Baby Back ribs that will keep you coming back for just one more bone to
pick. Why choose between them? Get them both by the half slab or half pound for
the true Mama Bird experience.
Save room for the sweet treats that please the palate with
refreshing choices such as The Watermelon Soft Serve. However, who doesn’t like
desert in a jar? The Hummingbird Cake
Jar filled with banana, pineapple, pecan, coconut, and cream cheese frosting melded
together in a jar of sweet and decadent flavors.
And of course, the Oreo Red
Velvet Cake with fan favorite Oreos, chocolate chips and cream cheese frosting turns
a traditional treat into a sophisticated dessert.
Owner Robert Chiti and manger Zachary Substanley have
created a very special venue with their delightful focus on hospitality and
elevated comfort food and look to expand their operation in the near future. Mama
Bird is the kind of setting where you feel so much at home-you could set a
spell and savor the flavors- We did and we hope y’all do the same!
