   Not the greatest experience. One item was not included on the pupu platter, with no communication about why. More of the other items were included, which did make up for the omission, but that wasn’t communicated until we asked about the missing skewers. Service was slow, and our server forgot to place my drink order so my dinner came and no drink showed up. The first drink I ordered, the headhunters grog, which I get each time I dine here, was not even close to the normal way it tastes. This is the second time in a row our experience at The Jungle Bird did not live up to our expectations/prior experiences there. I think it will be quite a while before we return, unfortunately. I want to love this place but I just can’t.

    Service was fast to serve us drinks and then never returned. Our waiter passed by us a dozen times never taking our food order. We had to ask another waiter for our bill to leave. Very disappointed in the unprofessional behavior and zero attention to us.

    Don't bother with the food except maybe the chicken skewers. Drink taste great, but are mostly ice, but have cool tiki cups and a little bit of show. It is the only tiki bar in Sacramento, so it has that going for it. It is really dark and cramped inside, but there is some seating outside. It is difficult to find from the outside as all it has is a single, green jungle-bird neon light. The rest is non-descript. They really need to bring the atmosphere outside and getting a talking jungle bird, or pipe tiki music outside. At the very least give it a proper paint job that says "Jungle Bird tiki bar." As for the food, this really needs to improve for the high dollar amount you are charging. I'm going to mark that I would recommend it, but only because it is the only local tiki bar. If there was any other, I would probably recommend it instead.

    It was not busy when my friends and I dined. Service was great, and our server was very knowledgeable and patient with us and our many questions. Menu is limited but there is a little something for most. The bar area seems like the place to be. I would go back and sit at the bar or at a table by the bar.

    We sure enjoy the Jungle Bird these days! They keep improving every time we visit! The people, the cocktails, food, waiters and waitresses, are all top notch. And the bartenders are terrific! Amazing cocktails! Once again, on this visit our waitress and waiter were very attentive, pleasant, welcoming, and they made sure we enjoyed our drinks, food, and our time at The Jungle Bird. The atmosphere is fantastic! What a delight! See you again soon!

    The neglected entrance should have been a clue. Dirty and unkempt. Sat in the back which was ok but smelled unclean and of stale food. Ordered drinks and wings. Drinks good, chicken wings just ok without imagination. Just baked plain without interest, just a few jalapeños. Entrees ordered we’re the noodle dish and beef baos. Noodles pretty good but beef baos very dry with probably two tablespoons of very bitter slaw. We were checking the Jungle Bird out for a future family gathering but we’re sadly disappointed and will not return.

    Our waiter seemed very frazzled and in a hurry all evening. The AC was aggressive and I was thankful I had a jacket. We had a reservation and the way we were asked to leave for the next reservation was a little shocking.

    Food and drinks are AMAZING. You can go wrong with any of the drinks on the menu. Patty’s Poison and the Painkiller are my favorites. But literally every other drink I’ve tried is a close tie 😂 Order the inihaw na manok which are Filipino chicken skewers (love seeing my culture represented)! They’re delicious along with everything on the pupu platter. HIGHLY recommend this place for date night or a good time with friends.

    I will start off with the positive. The service was great all the way from hostess to servers. They were obviously understaffed, yet each and every employee was hauling A$$ to get their job done. Service was slow, but they were busy and as I stated, understaffed. They were all polite and friendly. The ambience was very cool also. My only complaint is that it was very dark at our corner table inside. I believe the outside patio would have been nicer, next time we will request outdoors. The music was Star Wars music for the 2 hours we were there, which is fine, but unexpected for a Tiki room. No we did not go on May 4 either 🤓. The food was average, hot and deep fried, but not anything I could not make out of a frozen package at home. The drinks left A LOT to be desired!!! We paid almost $50 for 3 drinks. My wife’s drink was average. We could at least taste the tequila a tiny bit. My drink was all ice and fruit juice. Zero buzz, I should have brought my flask. I would estimate 1/4 shot of vodka in a 20 ounce drink 😢. My daughters drink was so sweet she could only finish about 1/3 of it. Dinner, drinks and appetizers for 3 was $120, with tip $150. Expensive dinner for non alcoholic drinks and frozen food quality dinner. The service was great and I imagine sitting out side with a bunch of friends would be a very fun experience.

    The drinks were not good at all, full of juices and full of ice with lil of alcohol. U could taste the fake sub par commercial pre made mixes. Disappointing The interior is super charming live everything about it, we sat outside and their patio zero reflection to interior, no thought or care put into the decor appealing. Our waiter I think Ian was his name gave us very good service and that’s why higher ranking other wise zero stars

    We went for the Jedi Bird Star Wars inspired event. The graphics were cool. But all the cups were sold out and the drinks we ordered were gross. Super strong and unbalanced. There was a guy at the bar that was obviously over served and killin the vibes. Also, when you’re sitting at the bar, people are constantly ordering over your shoulder. It sucks. Overall, this place isn’t it.

    We've been going to Jungle Bird for years, but our last two visits have not been great. These visits were during themed events, like Surfin Santa, or Star Wars week. It seems like everyone, including the kitchen, bartenders, and wait staff are completely unprepared and understaffed. Our drinks and food orders were so late one visit that they completely comped our entire check, which sounds great, but the 3 drinks and 2 entrees definitely weren't worth waiting for 1.5hrs. At our last visit, we had to ask our server to check on our food, which she returned with explaining that it took a while because our order of fries was taken. Our burger's bun was rock hard and burned, and our server didn't provide any utensils or napkins. We love the place, and hope it returns to its former glory, but service has been increasingly downhill since 2020ish and we'll be visiting less. I'd still recommend visiting, but only because there's no other tiki spot in Sac. Just know that you're going to sit around for a while before you get your drinks and food, and you'll probably have to flag down your waiter for something you need.

    I made reservations for a table outside. When we arrived, we were lead to a table inside. I reminded the hostess that I made reservations for outside seating and she stated that all tables outside were full. She gestured at the table inside and said, “This is your table.” She never offered an apology.

    We came for May the 4th last year and had a great experience that we decided to come again. However, this second time was not great. I'll say the drinks we're still made very well and at a good value. As for food we ordered the pu pu platter, burger, chicken katsu, stir fry noodles, and the spam and egg fried rice. All entrees except for the chicken katsu tasted like they used burnt/dirty oil to cook in, and were otherwise unedible.

    I went for the Star Wars cup drop event. They had custom drinks, a themed sound experience, and a custom visual experience projected in the front room. It was amazing. Any other day the jungle bird is a high class spot but today it was the best Tiki bar in the galaxy.
