Karma did its job! ?? ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️I gave life to Birdie, all her walls were painted by me, I hung caldelabrums myself, I covered all the chairs by hand, I helped local artists by buying objects that filled my heart to give life to Birdie, I was the sole owner for a couple of years until I fell into the clutches of these “big businessmen”This Mr. #LuisFabianVela along with two other very renowned businessmen in #RGV #McAllen did me a lot of harm, they involved me in their words and “big business” games, their lies hurt me a lot.I applaud the laws of this country for somehow delivering justice! I have been threatened for years to keep me quiet. ‼️Enjoy prison a lot sir! There go all the people who do evil!‼️

I always come here to get brunch, only this experience the service by the waitress was not that great. I can understand if she was having a bad day but never put that on your customers. Other than that food was amazing and they have a lot of great options. A caramel latte on the side ?☕️

It was a so-so experience overall. I wanted to like it because it was super packed with people, so I assumed it was a great place to be for a weekend brunch. However, the food and drink were so average or subpar, particularly for the prices. There is nothing I tried here that would ever make me want to come back, although the patio area was lovely. The service was good, so they have the right wait staff. The food did not taste fresh. The chicken strips tasted like frozen ones. The waffle was dense and flavorless. The tea jug was watered down. The pasta had a decent taste to it. The cuisine standards in the RGV are low for non-Mexican food, so these types of places are usually packed without a care for the very basic food offerings.

Watch out for their "Large group" automatic gratuity of 20%. Then at checkout, they ask if you want to tip even more. This was a surprise because we were a table of 3. We met a very nice young couple and chose to pay for their meal. Boom, party of 5.

Positives: Very cute place with a beautiful outdoor seating area. Accommodating to pets (dogs) and has good service. The vibes are great. It's an overall nice place to get brunch with family and friends while dressed nice-casual.Negative: The first thing I noticed was the high prices on the menu-- the menu was a little limited too. Moreover, I got the eggs benedict and it was $16. It was only two, and they were small. Drinks were also a little pricy-- $7 for any non-refillable espresso drink.Overall, if you want to get brunch with loved ones and want to have it at a pretty place with brunch-y type food, this is the place to be! Just be prepared to pay $15 or more per person for small portions.
I would never recommend this place to my worst enemy.Horrible customer service didn’t just end at the door when we walked to our car a man walks past me and says next time have some respect and don’t park in reserved parking. My jaw dropped because I was clueless because I was parked in a spot with a sign that stated reserved for birdies bistro cafe & bakery or something like that. I called him back several times saying, “Excuse me sir can you explain the issue.” The guy was so rude, he physically waved me off and gave me the rudest expression imaginable. I was pissed. I turned around, went back in, and asked who the owner was. Needless to say he was the owner. The lady I asked was his sister and after I explained the situation to her, I demanded an apology. She said, “Well, it’s kind of obvious that it’s staff parking and that was his spot that you’re in.” I was seriously dumbfounded by her remark and asked her to whom it was obvious to because nowhere did it say staff parking. She went on to say each sign says something different. I explained to her that it’s not customary for people to go spot by spot to see if each sign said something different. I saw birdies bakery & cafe, it was available, so I parked. Well i guess we need to add that was all she had to say. I asked for an apology but of course didn’t get anything but excuses for his and her horrible attitudes. If he was a professional, he would have nicely come over to explain the parking situation and I would have been okay with it but he chose to be rude and a coward. Never again!!!

The food is alright not the best for the price the biggest issue is the space from customers and servers bumping into you it makes it not enjoyable. The other issue is they started picking plates and it seems like they want you to leave as soon as possible you feel rushed out.
