The Proud Bird

Best Kid-Friendly Restaurants in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"It’s important to be straightforward about one thing: Food is the secondary attraction at Westchester’s food hall Proud Bird. Sure, there’s barbecue sold under the Bludso’s name, which is good enough if not quite as good as the original, and also rotisserie chicken, burgers, and pizza. But the reason most parents are here is not the food court and its mercilessly long single line (only the bar counter takes orders for each stall) — it’s the massive playground right outside its doors. Regulars know to have someone wait to order food while the kids let out some energy on the jungle gym before eating." - Nicole Adlman
