This was our first visit here.The food was good, but I wouldn't say great.However, I am interested in trying some other menu items.Our waitress was new, but more than willing to serve us.However, for me, my wife & 9 year old granddaughter, it was WAY too noisy in there!There was essentially no visiting without nearly yelling.For us that's a big turnoff.Some acoustical panels on the walls & ceiling would help.

Great brunch place. Definitely get on the waitlist to avoid a long wait on weekends. Cinnamon roll pancakes were a great recommendation by our server Sam R! She gave us a great first experience here. Highly recommend!

Biscuits are a little on the dry side, gravy has no body to it. Bacon spot on. Eggs were cooked to what I asked for..

Amazing food, weird plastic chairs lighting is not great and it's very loud if the dining room is full . .Food is well above average , my Americano was perfect. And overall well worth the visit.?

We loved our brunch here! The atmosphere was upbeat and fun, our service was prompt and helpful. We brought a small dice game that they didn’t seem bothered by which was cool! I ordered a drink that was hot (my mistake!) and asked for a different one. Our server was so kind and offered to ice it up and bring me my new one because I missed it on the menu but it looked so good! The “Biscoffee” is delicious! Our food was awesome! Loved the Hashholes! Definitely recommend the spicy ones but the regulars were solid, too. Our favorite part of the experience was for sure our sever! Carla is a 10/10! She was funny, helpful, kind and so prompt! We will definitely be back and hope to land in her section again! ?

Ordered the patty melt. The food was not adequately seasoned, and the meat patties were quite thin. I do not recommend trying the dish, and the server insisted that members of our party move over to another table.
We had an amazing experience for our first time at Early Bird! The food and drinks were phenomenal! The best part was our incredible bartender Carla. Her personality is out of this world and she makes this place stand out from any other brunch restaurants that we've been to!

Excellent food. Excellent service. If you don't ask for Madeline at the Ankeny location, you're missing out.

Sam R was amazing! Even though she is new she is incredibly fast, and very attentive. We got in and out of the place within probably 45 minutes of us being there. Food is always amazing, but if you come later in the morning I would suggest checking out yelp for wait times.

The service was TOP notch and so appreciated, even when packed.. so why the lower review? Honestly, I'm well aware the cost of food is crazy right now, but even so, their prices are high, especially for what you get for some dishes. Other dishes appeared to be more worthy of the cost, but still, prices seem jacked overall. (I mean, $7 whole dollars just to add 2 eggs and a choice of bacon or sausage to your pancakes? When 2 pancakes are already over $12... that's insane.) As far as flavor, some things were tasty and others were lackluster.The pictured dish is $15.50 and includes the eggs and bacon (or sausage). It's supposed to be cinnamon rolls, dipped in batter, and grilled like french toast style. Was tasty, but small "cinnamon rolls."
