A word from Proud Bird

Opened in the early 1960’s, the Proud Bird Restaurant offers its guests a fabulous dining experience with a “one of a kind” view. Located right next to one of Los Angeles International Airport’s approach runways, the restaurant provides diners with a front row view of airplanes making their landing.… Along with the view, the restaurant’s atmosphere contributes to the unique dining experience. Themed after the era surrounding World War II, when you step through the front door you will feel as if you have stepped back in time.Continued

"I took a business cliant to the Proud Bird on Statuday, and he loved the food and service, and really enjoyed all the pictures of our past history, and especially the WW2 War Birds. Over all it was an outstanding evening."

"Called for a 4pm reservation & was not seated till 5:30 pm. We have dined numerous times at the proud bird, so We made a reservation for six, two in wheelchairs. We were seated all the way in the east dinning area. Very difficult to get to the buffet. The food was at room temperature, They were out of prime rib & several other items. We were one hour into the meal before the waiter brought coffee & water after several requests. Never did get a refill on the coffee or water. When the bill arrived, We were charged for drinks that We had not ordered, half hour later they finally got the bill right."

"Great food, wonderful experience and atmosphere. 15% service charge (described as not a gratuity) was a disappointing addition to the cost of our dining experience and not disclosed in the on line pricing for brunch."

"Proud bird was amazing! It was my first time there, and as soon as we entered the parking lot, we noticed the planes and the beautiful garden area. Parking space was huge and there were many spots available. I loved that we were attended to as soon as we entered and loved that they sat us near the window at the perfect spot. It was great to look out and see planes and the beautiful sky and the green grass; it was just perfect. I ordered the chicken carbonara and he had a steak. He was thrilled upon tasting it and said it was delicious. My pasta was exquisite and the pina colada was divine eventhough it was a virgin drink (I was driving, so no alcohol!). An amazing dinner for an amazing night. Noise was a little loud, though."

"Restaurant is in a perfect spot to see planes landing on the LAX runway. Food was fine. However, the restaurant has instituted an additional "food tax" of 15% on all bills BEFORE a tip is considered. The menu states this is so they can hold down their prices. Well, the prices are as high, or higher than other restaurants. Because of this, inspite of really liking the view, we will never, ever go back. Several other customers were heard complaining about this "tax" as we left"

"This is one of our 'old reliable' places... My family has been coming here for decades... My husband's professional organization 'roasted' him in their banquet room upstairs about a year ago, and the party was a fabulous success... This last visit was on a Friday evening to have dinner with our daughter before she caught a plane... There was a noisy private party in the bar, but our server took pains to minimize the nuisance... Food is always good... I had the shrimp ouis"

"This was a fantastic venue for WWII aircraft displays and for watching airplanes on approach to the LAX airport. The food was wonderful and the staff expertly got us in and out on a tight schedule."
