Mama Bird is a restaurant in Portland, Oregon.[1]

Description[]

Mama Bird is a casual, counter-service restaurant in the Slabtown neighborhood of Portland's Northwest District,[2] with a seating capacity of approximately 90 people.[3] The interior has high ceilings, large windows, natural wood, neutral tones, and plants. Mama Bird's "allergy-friendly"[4] menu focuses on grilled chicken and vegetables.[5][6] Pete Cottell of Willamette Week has said the menu "splits the difference between comfort food and health food".[7]

History[]

The restaurant's exterior, 2022

Gabriel Pascuzzi opened the restaurant on September 26, 2019.[5] Soon after, Mama Bird closed temporarily because of smoke pollution complaints from neighbors.[8][9] It reopened in November.[10][11] In June 2020, the restaurant donated $3 for each bird sold to Know Your Rights Camp, during the George Floyd protests.[12] During the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant had patio service, as of September 2020.[13]

Reception[]

In 2019, Eater Portland's Alex Frane included Mama Bird in his list of "16 Quintessential Restaurants and Bars in Slabtown".[14] In 2021, the website's Brooke Jackson-Glidden said "Mama Bird is a godsend, with grilled chicken and vegetables that have a refreshing element of creativity and finesse".[15]
