A practically perfect little downtown diner. Great menu options, good coffee, and the crispiest home fries. Good options for vegans, too.

LIFE CHANGING. Charming, sincere and attentive service, incredibly original and well crafted menu (food AND drinks), not to mention the wild decor that left me awe-struck!

I went here because of You Gotta Eat Here and I've ordered 3 different menu items and they were all bad. A too salty portebello mushroom sandwich, a bland philly cheesesteak sandwich and then a too-sweet/too much chicken and waffles.The chicken and waffles was arguably the best meal, but the worst experience; had to flag down the waitress multiple times for water, then napkins, then forks which were not delivered with our meals. It seems like such a trendy cool place but the food has often been subpar and the staff is very unorganized. I've given it 3 chances and I will not go back.

I Highly recommend. I was taken here for Mother's Day on the Monday. If you want something different this is the place to go to, our meals were fantastic.

This place is ah-freakin-mazin' <3 <3 <3
The first time I ate here was over a decade ago...back when the Holy Diver space was the Nite Owl (oh the places it has been!!) The Bird has went through a few menu changes/ownership since then, but since inception, this place has remained consistent and incredible!!!
Sweet decor, friendly and attentive staff, great music, fresh food, huge portions, comparable prices.
It's so funny that most of the negative reviews are related to waiting for tables and pricing. That is laughable. This is a small popular restaurant located downtown in a city full of hungover students....of course you are going to have to wait for a table on Saturday morning. The staff (front and back) are running their butts off. I think every human being should be required to work in a restaurant at some point in their lives to gain some perspective. Be patient people! It's worth it!
Also, any time that I have went here when it is not busy as heck, the whole process is lightning fast. My partner and I have had tons of experiences of being seated, ordering, eating, paying the bill, and leaving within a 1/2 hour.
The prices are also totally fair and comparable to other restaurants. Restaurants are not exempt from the rising cost of food that you see when personally shopping at the grocery store - plus they need to pay their staff and their rent - honestly, sometimes I think their food should cost more. Especially when two garbage meal combos with shakes from McDonalds cost upwards of $40 now - stop complaining and stay home if you don't want to spend money.
Even when you get delivery through Uber, the food is still 100%. I woke up starving this morning and ordered some Eggs and Homies, which I am currently eating. (SOOO GOOD. MY current satisfaction has prompted this review) This is my go-to breakfast meal when eating here. Takeout or eat-in, it has been consistent and delicious for more years than I can count.
I do wish they had a couple more smaller plate options but everyone has different appetites and better to have more food than I need than not enough :)
The only 'negative' thing I have to say is that I really miss the Egg McJustin from the early days. I loved that sandwich!!!
Bottom line: love this place. love the food. love the staff. excellent all around. Early Bird rocks!!!

If you're on the hunt for an enchanting breakfast spot, look no further—this place is a true hidden gem! As soon as you step through the doors, you’re immersed in a captivating atmosphere that feels like a beautiful escape from the everyday. The attention to detail in the décor is simply stunning, making it a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds.
But it doesn’t stop there! The service is outstanding; the staff genuinely goes the extra mile to make sure your dining experience is nothing short of perfect. With a fantastic array of menu options, the food is absolutely delicious, and their hot chocolate is a standout that you won’t want to miss. I wholeheartedly recommend this charming spot to family and friends—it's an experience that’s definitely worth a visit!

I've been wanting to try this place for years, but it was just okay. The service was slow, and it seemed like there was only one waitress for the entire restaurant. She appeared to focus a lot on a particular table, and didn't check in with us to see how we liked our food. The French toast with goat cheese was overpowered by a strong flavor. The restaurant was quite cold, making it hard to feel comfortable.

Service was excellent. The food wasn't really as great as I was expecting but still good and many different options from other breakfast restaurants. It was very loud inside and difficult to hear my breakfast companions. Parking was difficult and paid $22.00 on top of the bill. The parking situation will definitely be the reason we don't come back :(

Best Rueben I have ever had. Staff was so helpful with my husband and his scooter. Ceasar salad was also a big hit
