My second time dining & it was just as great as the first. Only this time I was hungover. I can’t remember my servers name, but she was absolutely AMAZING. Very sweet, patient person. Knowledgeable about the menu and also how to cure a hangover. Not only did she pay attention to the needs of my guest and myself for our dining experience, but she went above and beyond to help making me feel better. Thank U for making my bday brunch extra special. The food was *chefs kiss*!! I had the croque madame w/ side salad, YUMMY!

The restaurant itself is very cute, but if you’re looking for a good meal, this is not the place. The homemade hash browns had no flavor, the sunny side up eggs were uncooked, the biscuits were dry and I will never return

Food took 45 mins, came out cold and congealed. We sent back for a reheat. 15 minutes later, came out cold again.

Great location with outdoor seating. The breakfast options were creative and well-prepared. Every item tasted fresh and delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. The only negative comment I have it that they were playing very loud Halloween themed music (Thriller and the like) at 8 a.m. on a Saturday morning. I would have preferred something a little more chill for that time of day. Thankfully, the food and service were so good I could overlook the music choice.

The service was pretty slow and the servers were tending to a lot of large group/birthday parties for young girls. One of these groups were extremely loud and disrupted the whole vibe of the place. Our “hot” coffee was room temperature and a hot cup was offered to replace it but never brought out to us. Food was mediocre and was also room temperature and somewhat cold on the brunch board (cold waffles and cold pancakes). Glad to say we tried this place but don’t think we’d go back.

Really enjoyed Birdys to celebrate brunch for my honey's birthday. Enjoyed reading the menu and seeing a wide variety of offerings from traditional breakfast fare like huevos rancheros to soft shell crab over a salad. From sandwiches with side salads to a biscuit basket with honey butter and jam. While we didn't order it, the shareable breakfast board impressed me the most...I will enjoy that next time. Service was timed well and I appreciated the manager Sam and her friendly welcome on our arrival.

The food was very good. I had Huevos Rancheros. It could have been warmer. The Iced Latte was excellent. Service was good enough. Not sure who our waiter was because we interacted with three different people. I’m disabled and it was a challenge getting there because of parking. We ate outside. It was very noisy. Very expensive.

The menu is easy, and delicious! Our server Blake was the best! And as we were leaving, the manager on duty stopped by to say hello. Such a great place to eat out on the patio, bring your dog with you, enjoy a great brunch - was my first time there and I definitely look forward to going back again!

Great for taking pictures with your friends but the food is nothing to write home about. I ordered the roasted veggie bowl and the brown rice was super gritty and overcooked that I couldn’t even finish it. The other flavors on the plate were pretty tasty but the true gem was the simple yet inventive beet hummus. It was smooth and creamy and added a nice touch to an otherwise sub-par meal.

Love this new breakfast/lunch spot. The food is awesome. Love the avocado toast, the cheese tray, chia pudding bowl... so many delicious things. It's innovative and fun. And that lavender latte - made just how I ask with minimal sweetness. Thanks Birdy's. We'll be back!
