Reviews
Unfortunately, I think they’ve taken a real turn for the worse with the installation of these ordering kiosks.
Not only do you now have to stand there and figure out how to use them, but nothing about the process is clear. The menus aren’t intuitive, the flow doesn’t make sense, and to top it off, the credit card machine was literally upside down. It took me three different cards before I finally realized what was going on. That’s not “modern convenience” — that’s frustration.
I don’t mind change when it improves the experience, but this does the opposite. It slows everything down, removes the human interaction, and makes what used to be an easy stop unnecessarily annoying.
After more than two decades of visits, this was unfortunately my last. Disappointing way to end a long run with a place I used to enjoy.
I had the Cubano sandwich with onion rings. Sandwich was good, but fairly small portion. The onion rings were coated in a very sweet batter.
It has kind of a food court layout, with various choices available (BBQ, pizza, burgers, etc).
Prices were on the high side, considering the portion, with no table service (order and food pickup yourself). I found the posted menu very difficult to read, but the counter guy suggested I use the nearby QR code to look at choices (good idea).
Won’t return soon, but may stop by, if in the area.
Oh and parking is plenty and free!
Great display of historic aircraft and aviation military history and great plane spotting joint.
I had no food and got coffee and unfortunately to no fault of the person working as bartender, server and barista it (took 30 mins plus to get the order done) as she was the only one in behind the counter and bar for just two coffee specialty drinks

Otherwise amazing place.
But the food doesn’t match the ambiance. The brisket had amazing flavor but was mostly fatty chunks. Cornbread was dry and didn’t have much flavor, definitely not a fan.
Overall, if you have kids, they’ll love this place. But if you’re coming for the food, you will likely not be a fan.
What really sets this place apart is how family-friendly it is. There’s a huge outdoor area where kids can run around, explore old airplanes, and enjoy the playground. It’s a perfect venue for large gatherings or casual outings with friends and family.
One of the highlights is the amazing up-close view of planes landing at LAX. If you’re into aviation—or even just mildly curious—it adds a unique and exciting touch to the experience.
That said, service can be slower during peak times. You may need to check in at the food counters, as alerts for when your food is ready aren’t always reliable. It’s something to keep in mind, especially if you’re juggling kids or visiting when it’s busy.
Overall, The Proud Bird offers great food, fun for kids, and a cool, aviation-themed atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else. Highly recommended for families and large groups!
