I come here fairly often because they change the menu seasonally. Today we got 3 items we've never had before and they were great! We particularly loved the chicken bacon ranch sandwich and the butchers hash read more

I visited this restaurant after finding it on Yelp and was excited to try the steak and eggs with bottomless mimosas advertised on the menu. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations. As someone with low vision, navigating unfamiliar spaces can be challenging. From the moment I arrived, the host (who also became my server) was not particularly welcoming and offered no assistance despite it being obvious that I was struggling to maneuver through the restaurant. Throughout the meal, service remained minimal, and I rarely saw my server. To make matters worse, the steak and eggs I came specifically to order were unavailable. While I understand restaurants run out of items, it was disappointing given that it was one of the main reasons I chose this location. When I was ready to leave, I asked for a to-go box because I couldn't finish my meal. Instead of offering assistance, my server simply brought me a container and walked away. Because of my visual impairment, boxing my own food isn't always easy, and a small gesture of help would have gone a long way. As a result, I ended up leaving food behind. The saving grace of the experience was another waiter who was incredibly kind and attentive. He made sure my mimosa glass stayed full, checked in regularly, and even provided a mimosa to go. His customer service is the reason this review isn't significantly lower. The patio atmosphere was also less relaxing than I had hoped. During brunch, a group of children were running through the dining area, weaving between tables and chairs while the adults paid little attention. It created a chaotic environment that made it difficult to enjoy what was supposed to be a peaceful meal. On a positive note, the black beans, pico de gallo, and mimosas were enjoyable. Overall, between the disappointing service, unavailable menu item, lack of accommodation, and noisy atmosphere, I don't see myself returning. read more

Made my way back ... again lol. Can't get over how cute this place is, but the food and service is also a plus. Menu items were nearly the same as last time, so I opted for an avocado toast this go-round. We also ordered a matcha latte and a breakfast plate. The avocado toast description was a little deceptive but it was still pretty decent. Everything else was A1. See y'all soon! read more

Don't miss this place for breakfast! A cute sit-down restaurant that has a homey vibe. Options to sit inside or outside (covered patio). Server was friendly and prompt. Iced latte was good. Classic breakfast of eggs, bacon and biscuit was well prepared. However, the rib eye on a homemade bagel should not be missed! Was a 10 minute walk from our hotel in the warehouse district. Consider reservations for peak times. read more

Food was below average. Had a classic breakfast with a side of little pancakes. Pancakes were fine. Eggs sunny also fine. Bacon was awful - overcooked in a deep fryer. Bloody Mary was a C+ and the cortado was badly made. Waiter had a small panic attack because a 60 y/o Belgian couple mistakenly ordered the wrong thing. Listening to him get flustered and then loudly whine about it to his manager killed all remaining vibes. This place is good if you're a group of 9 from Lafayette staying downtown for your sister's bachelorette party. read more

It is a fun spot to hit up for Brunch. Covered outdoor seating and some of the best staff in the area. If no one at your table is Gluten Free-ORDER THE BISCUIT BOARD. You will love it. They are able to do all the fancy coffee drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. My goto breakfast item is the smoked salmon toast. I am not a fan of their waffle, but that is just my personal preference. I like more of a Belgian style and this is not that. It is still good just not what I prefer. If you find yourself in the LGD and need a cute brunch spot and want some covered outdoor ambiance, this is your spot. Good food and great service. read more

Flew into Birdy's for a quick lunch. I was delighted they still had some brunch items on the menu and my wonderful server gave me the scoop. I liked the upbeat yet casual vibe with the Nola charm . Then there was the food: I opted for the traditional eggs Benedict while my colleague chose the Salmon . Both were stellar and I will certainly be back to try more of the delicious eats !! This Birdy actually hit an Eagle !! read more

We went to Birdie's behind the Bower looking to have a good time--and let me tell you, a good time was had! We were lucky enough to sit in the iconic pink booth with the Birdie sign, which is always a bonus. Our server, Noah, was an absolute blast and added so much fun to our experience--shoutout to you, Noah! Everything we ordered was amazing--from the breakfast board to the Benedicts and avocado toast, every bite was spot-on. The glass they use for the bottomless mimosas is huge, which means they don't have to refill as often (unlike the usual tiny champagne flutes most places use). We also tried a few other drinks like the Bellini and, of course, the espresso martini--and if you've read my previous reviews, you know the espresso martinis kept flowing as they were perfection! If you're looking for a fun, flavorful brunch spot to enjoy with friends, Birdie's behind the Bower is definitely the place. Great food, great vibes, and even better company. read more

We had reservations. I love the decor and neon sign. We were greeted by the host and seated right away. It took a bit for our server to come. We decided to get an appetizer. I'm a sucker for any board or tower. We ordered the brunch board to split. It was an experience! The waffles were my favorite, but I absolutely loved everything on there. We also split the cochon de lait. I love a good spicy dish, but for brunch/breakfast, I thought it was too spicy. To each their own! The staff were friendly and helpful. read more

Service was abysmal besides the couple of people that went out of their way to assist us when we were not their responsibility. Waiter "forgot" we were a part of his section and never bothered to correct his mistake by introducing himself and continuing the experience. He continued to assist all customers around us while we were left to get up and ask for basic things a patron is required to use during dinner (I.e silverware and condiments). I would not recommend to friends coming to visit as I normally would other places in the area. read more

This place gets it right! It's cute and the service is quick. Though the menu isn't large, it's seems sufficient for a breakfast stop. I've been a few times for brunch and am pleased each time. The huevos rancheros and Birdy's burger were absolutely delicious. read more

I can't tell you how the food is because we walked out after sitting for ten minutes without so much as a "hi, I'll be right with you."

Amazing service and yummy food! Our server was on top of things and checked on us frequently. Our food came out in a reasonable amount of time and was delicious. We both enjoyed our meals and the atmosphere. I had the fried chicken biscuit with gravy and my friend had the Elvis French toast. I don't like the "split check" policy but will be prepared the next time we visit by bringing cash. (They will only split the check evenly and only one credit card.) There is outside and inside seating. No stairs to enter the restaurant. I would definitely come back to try out another item off of the huge brunch menu. (Or get the same again!) read more

Cute brunch spot for the gals! ‍‍‍ Love the indoor and outdoor seating option! There's fans outside so you don't have to worry about the summer heat. The wait was about 10 mins for our iced matcha latte (6/10) but the food was pretty good! My traditional breakfast (8/10) had some apple hickory bacon, eggs, roasted potatoes (the BEST part hands down), toast and some jam to put on top. Their chicken and biscuits were great too! (7.5/10) read more

My favorite thing about this place is the service! Insanely friendly staff, we had them come up to us multiple times and we actually had conversations with them about feedback on the food. We went during restaurant week and the food was a good price for the amount that we got! I 100% recommend the ube lattes, I'm not usually a big fan of coffee but I loved it. It's a super cute place too so I could see it being a good brunch spot read more

Grabbed brunch with some friends on a Sunday morning. Street parking only so plan accordingly. Great little spot with shaded outdoor seating, however, I do recommend going when it's not too hot out. There is indoor seating as well. The service was welcoming, patient and our server made the brunch even greater. She rocked!! We started with the Hibiscus tea which was a little bitter but refreshing. I tried the ribeye and egg bagel which was delicious, despite the ribeye being a little overcooked. The carmalized onions, egg and pastrami honey made up for it. One of my friends got the cured salmon and said it was the perfect selection and size. She said the salmon melts in your mouth. My other friend had the blackened tuna BLT and said it was well cooked with a lot of flavor, great pairing. All dishes came with some form of side salads, which were all fresh as well. We tried the raspberry pomegranate mimosa but weren't fans of it. I do recommend the frozen margarita, especially on a hot Sunday morning in New Orleans. read more

Very cute spot, and it's easy to make reservations online ahead of time. You can eat indoors or outdoors, which is equipped with warmers during the winter. Staff is super friendly as well. I ordered the apple cider mimosa, which wasn't particularly strong or tasted like apple cider. The entree was good. You can order your eggs prepared however you want it, and I ordered it sunny side up. I think I've found my go-to meal. read more

Birdy's for brunch! This place had great food and good quality ingredients! It's a cute atmosphere for birthdays or events. I had the fried chicken biscuit and it was so good! The gravy added on top of the biscuit was the perfect touch. I also had the peppermint mocha martini. It was ok, not my favorite. My friend had the mistletoe mule though that was great. Only point off was for the service. The hostess was so nice and great, but our waitress was not friendly at all. Overall, I'd come back! read more

This place was such a cute brunch place for occasions and pictures! The drinks are delicious! The reason I rated this place a 3 was because of our service, we were not a fan of our waiter. Another reason is that the menu was limited. If you are a picky eater, this place might not be for you. Overall, such a cute spot but was not enough for me to go back. read more

Ordered the huevos rancheros and the standard breakfast plate (eggs, biscuit, potatoes, and bacon). The bacon was pretty much all fat and the potatoes were dark brown and cooked in dirty oil. The huevos rancheros was watery and soupy. They also have no ice for drinks here. Do not recommend. read more

We arrived to this restaurant around 9am on a Sunday. Our waitress was great and super attentive. We took a quick photo in front of the birdy's sign and the waitress was so nice about it and actually took a really great photo. I ordered the fried chicken biscuit and it was excellent. So tasty and well seasoned. The biscuit part of the sandwich was like mini biscuits split in half, so don't expect to be able to pick your chicken biscuit up to take a bite out of it. The gravy on the chicken biscuit was also excellent. read more

When I come to New Orleans, I always try to go to Birdies. The service, a delicious brunch, bottomless mimosas, and just the cute vibe, so what more could you ask for? I highly recommend this spot every time I visit. It's all about the brunch and those bottomless mimosas for me. And I server definitely made sure to take care of us! I ended up getting the shareable breakfast platter, which was a fantastic suggestion from the staff. I wish I had taken a photo of my brunch, but even without the pic, just know it was absolutely delicious. Great vibes and perfect for friends just to chill and chat read more

What a wonderful experience! This was our last stop before we flew home and I'm so glad we found it! We got a warm, welcoming greeting when we entered and noted how friendly the entire team was. It's a cozy restaurant in the Garden District. It has a lovely patio for outdoor dining. We stayed in and were very happy. Let's talk food...we started with a Bellini and a Mimosa. I loved the peachy Bellini. My husband was indifferent about the Mimosa but he said the coffee was good. We both ordered the traditional breakfast. He had their homemade tots. They were just hash browns rolled into a ball and fried. He really enjoyed them and I didn't think they were so great. The inside wasn't done enough for me. We were both really happy with the thick sliced toast and the strawberry jam. We were both happy with our eggs and bacon. Be aware you only get two slices of bacon. Since bacon is my guilty pleasure we ordered a side of it. We also ordered a side of avocado. Our eggs were cooked just the way we like them. Dan provided excellent service. For sure we'll be back on our next trip to NOLA! read more

I've never had a bad experience at Birdy's outside of what happened today. Before I get into that, I do love the food! However, it's best to not have a reservation past 12:30 because they close at 2 and they will rush you out of the building. read more

Birdies is a cute little cafe type restaurant with a pretty and bright space, perfect for a brunch date with friends. I went on a brunch date and it was a little busy that day so things were moving a little slow. However, I ordered a matcha latte and the Huevos Rancheros and it did not disappoint, especially because I was slightly hungover from partying all the previous night. (Mardi Gras) my date got the brunch board. It was also yummy, I needed the carbs. I would definitely go again! read more

Mediocre at best. Overpriced fare, not very good. Menu is very small, not many options to choose from. I had high hopes for the tots but they were unsalted, and lack the crisp and crunchiness of a traditional tot. Being oversized doesn't make them any more desirable. Blt lacked a good amount of bacon, I will say the tomato was the best. The most delicious tomato ever and was something they didn't cook, how ironic. Burger lacked oozing melted cheese, pretty dry for a smash burger. Bread was mushy. Tomato was also the best part! I would say skip this place. The outdoor patio is good place to have a coffee and hang but I wouldn't eat here. read more

Spectacular place, I will definitely return next time I'm here. The coffee is the best in New Orleans, smooth and flavorful. The Brunch Board is totally awesome. Only suggestion here: instead of scones/cookies, add some bread or other non-sweet bakery items so you can combine the prosciutto and Brie. read more

The food and the ambiance at Birdy's was great! We didn't have a reservation in advance and we were originally told that it would be a 45 minute wait which was okay, but it ended up being 25 minutes which was an extra plus. We had the Buddha Bowl and I loved the combination of ingredients - kale, wild rice, cherry tomatoes, and hummus. Additionally, we shared a Huevos Rancheros and it was also really fresh as well. Moreover, I also really liked the ambiance of this place - they had both indoor and outdoor seating and it was pretty chic.

So happy we went to this place on our last day in New Orleans. We had the burrata toast, chicken biscuit, and waffles and all were so delicious. The burrata toast was the perfect combination of savory and sweet and came with a farm salad that had the perfect amount of crunch to it. Everything was perfect. Service was so attentive and we had the nicest girl attend to us. Highly recommend the strawberry milk!! We didn't see it on the menu, but our server recommended it to us and it was our favorite drink. The restaurant itself was super cute!
