Duchess

Great service and high quality food . Tried 2 different burgers and both are very good

This place is pretty decent for the cost! I ordered from Duchess (previously Birdies) via Postmates and was pleasantly surprised when a cute little robot delivered my food. I opted for the nutella donut, lavendar matcha, and breakfast burrito with fried chicken. The burrito was quite filling and pretty good. The nutella donut was not overly sweet and was filled with cream. The lavendar matcha was disappointing. I didn't taste any lavendar and the drink was a bit cold when I received my order (although I know it's not their fault). I've tried the sandwiches before and remembered they were pretty tasty! Would recommend for anyone in the area looking for a nice breakfast burrito or chicken sandwich :)

This replaced Birdie's, which was right next door. Pretty much the same menu. Even on the donut side. I was just going to get donuts, but then I changed my mind and went with a breakfast chicken sandwich. Everything is made to order, so it may take a minute or 2 or 10. The sandwich was the perfect size. I got it with an over hard egg. Chicken was tender. Bread was soft and the sauce added a nice touch. Then, as I was about to leave, I decided to order 2 donuts. I went with the Nutella (which is not filled, it's just a nutella icing) and the Blueberry. I can't give my reviews on these, yet, because they are the following day's breakfast. But, im sure they are as good as the last time I had some of their donuts.2 or 3 ladies were working the establishment. All were very nice and helpful with all the customers while I was there.

We had chicken and doughnuts and it was overall very good. Even better was that they are open late. The service was solid, especially considering the hour.

This place is amazing! Service was great, the food was to die for, AND the price is just right!First, the drinks. I got the vanilla chai latte (4.5/5) which is one of the best that I have tried in a while. Perfect amount of spiciness, and the vanilla adds just right amount of sweetness. If you like chai, I highly recommend this place! My bf for the mocha cloud (3.5) which is not my drink of choice but he thought it was pretty good too. We also got a horchata latte (3/5) for the yelp check in and that was just all right. Definitely think the chai is the best one.Next, the food. The chicken sandwich (4/5) tasted great. The bun was great, and the chicken had some heat to it but not too much that it's unbearable. It's also a pretty good size--my boyfriend and I was able to split this since we also got donuts.The donuts were also amazing! The glazed was soft and sweet. It looks like there's not enough glaze but nope it's just right. The Boston crème was amazing. The chocolate glaze was a good balance with the custard in the middle, not too sweet but just enough. I love donuts and this place makes them well.Everyone has to try this place!! You will not regret it.

Best breakfast sandwich I've ever had in my life. I hate eggs but the flavor was so hidden in this sandwich it was amazing! I ordered the jr breakfast sandwich and it was big imagine the full size lol!!! I got a lemonade to drink. There's a beautiful mural to the side for photo op. I dined in. Open air concept. The name of the staff Nicole is AMAZING! She made the difference in this visit! Highly recommend! Would come again

The chicken sandwhiches are excellent. The bun has a mild sweet taste and the chicken's got a good crisp. The hospitality and service was awesome. The girl at the counter even played the music from the band we had just seen at the nearby Belasco Theater. Thank you, Duchess, for the good eats and warm reception.

Formerly Birdies, still the same great quality, amazing food with tons of flavors, good portion sizes, street parking available outside, very clean restaurant, seating available in a covered area. Friendly staff. And amazing donuts and coffee as well; will return and highly recommend.

While it's not my favorite fried chicken sandwich place, I am giving 5 stars because of the service, portion size, quality, and cost where it hit all the marks! This used to be called Birdies but it's rebranded now with a new owner, but same menu from what I can tell. I was hesitant with the new ownership but glad I gave it a try. I got the spicy chicken sandwich and it was the thickest cut of chicken I have seen on a sandwich yet where I had to unhinge my jaw just to bit through this delicious monstrosity. To add, they used legit Thai chili peppers that added a real heat to the sandwich I loved! The coleslaw was subtle where it added a nice crunch and refreshing bite without overpowering the sandwich in what usually ends up a saucy mess. I would definitely come back and recommend others to give it a try! The guy working was also nice enough to hook it up with a complimentary donut which was delicious! Parking always sucks because it's downtown so I recommend that you pre-order ahead of time, park in the alley way, and grab your food quickly!

Big plus being in DTLA is opening early to avoid the crowds or so I thought. Went just after opening on Saturday on a mini walk and there was one person waiting for their order. Plunked down a respectable $14 for a chicken sandwich which is probably the cheapest price you're going to find anywhere for a substantial portion and immediately about 10 people flocked right behind me aka the golden foot. One day someone's going to hire me to just stand in their shop for this reason. Already a very small area and loud music which not really to my liking I changed the order to go it took almost 25 minutes to make a chicken sandwich I think if you come for lunch you will probably have dinner here unless more staff is rolling out food, but anyways cute small place had no idea it's really tucked away on a side street and would have never known unless Yelp suggested it. Anyways after making it to go and ordering a regular fried chicken sandwich took it to the office a mile away and started wolfing it down. The bread leaves a lot to be desired it wasn't as fresh as should be, and prefer a nice toasted brioche. Besides that could not find flaws in the sandwich the chicken is a nice juicy breast not dried out and has a nice batter that doesn't separate from the meat which is rare. Not much flavoring in the batter but definitely a solid sandwich that I will probably come back and eat once in a while. Still the fried chick championship belt goes thru Fixins near the Lakers Stadium but they open at 10:30 I'm having none of that. For the price and portion it was quite solid I would give it a B+... if the bread was better it would be an A-. Friendly cashier greeting everyone in the morning and I like the variety they have you can have breakfast burritos with/without chicken but it just takes too long, even when they don't have any customers before you waiting... they need to speed up the process. So, more seasoning on the batter and better bread would make pretty much a flawless sandwich. Did the job though and served as a nice brunch very filling. There's some street parking right out front which you will have no problem finding if you're a Early Bird like me but besides that good luck I'm fortunate that I can walk here.
