This place is beyond good!! The home potatoes have a bacon taste, they're so delicious!! I had the pork belly poached eggs. They are a hit. Coffee is good. My husband and my family all loved their food. Good for kids. You could add on wait list from yelp. read more

Trendy awesome place for breakfast! They have huge plates so sharing is caring! Servers were awesome, and service was perfect!

Used the waiting list function and had to wait only 15 minutes. Ordered the Pork Belly Eggs Benedict, the Waffles and Chicken and the Mimosa Flight. The Zagat awards, reviews and the wait are well deserved. You must try it for yourself. Our waitress, Cassidy, was very nice and welcoming. Happy eating! read more

This place is way overpriced for what you receive. Also stay away from the quinoa salad. It's an after thought for those who are avoiding potatoes or meat. I got the portobello eggs Benedict, the portion was that of a kids size and at 15 dollars it's just not worth it. It tasted fine, the portobello was awfully greasy and not to mention the spinach was blan and under seasoned. My partner got a traditional omelette and it was fine. But just that. Not spectacular, nothing new or interesting just fine overpriced food. I'll let the hipsters take this one. Try it out. See what you think but the atmosphere doesn't add anything special to the food itself. read more

yummy food!! very accommodating! great service!! i need to write this in my review b/c they don't have the kids menu on their website. we tried the kids lunch boxes (it literally comes in a lunch box), and they were so cute and delicious. for kids, they have items like penne pasta (cheese or marinara), chicken strips, pigs in a blanket with your choice of fruit pasta, pudding, or toasted almonds. my kids loved it!! the zucchini sandwich was to die for. the philly cheesesteak w/ jalapenos was also a winner. i can't wait to go back and try their breakfast foods. read more

I drove down here to see what they had in terms of vegan breakfast based on other reviews. I asked the front person what I could get that was vegan. She said nothing, just a salad. I informed her of how yelp said they could make something. She said salad again. Maybe I will come for lunch to try a salad. read more

My boyfriend and I visited the EB for the first time, and we ordered an omelette John Wayne Omelete, Elvis Waffles, and Frank Floyd Benedict. Food is delicious and is a great combination with the roasted tomato and salty country potatoes. The Elvis was delicious! My boyfriend said his food was warm as he was eating, however I felt mine was less than warm. My eggs and salmon weren't cold but they didn't tasted as those they were fresh off the grill. Still a good place to eat! read more

Love this place. Friendly staff and a beautiful restaurant. Met one of the owners on opening day and am excited for what they've created. The food was very good, the ingredients were very fresh and the portions were perfect. Excellent value. read more

This place is amazing and i eat at EB when visiting family. The staff is super nice. Yesterday my friend ordered Gluten Free modified Benedict and yet still the English muffin containing gluten was still on his plate! Then today he tried ordering the hash browns, and the server mentioned that they contain gluten....WHAT?! IT'S A POTATO! There is simply no reason to add an allergen to a food like that unless the hash browns are processed and frozen. Fresh grated potatoes are gluten free! My suggestion is to please mark the menu with all items that have common allergens like gluten, dairy, soy etc. At least we were told the truth so only two stars were lost. Would I recommend EB...ABSOLUTELY. read more

Simply put, this place kicks a$$! Went there for lunch today and had the Philly Csteak sand. Friggin delicious. But I always know a great joint by the fries. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Great vibe, cool peeps. Came from LA to check it out, because we heard about it. Well worth the drive. Will be back for sure. read more

the wait was over an hour for 2, i thought it would worth the wait but it turns out very disappointing. I ordered Frank Lloyd Benedict (which is the Salmon with spinach) it came out cold and I can hardly find my salmon. Oh and btw, it doesnt come with muffin (substitute with a mushroom?) maybe that's just one of the Benedict style. The wheat bread that comes with it is hard and cold as rock! the side harsh brown ($3.5) is about the size of a sunny egg. I considered that it's pretty small for a cost side order. NO, I will never return to that place again. read more

Drove from Newport Beach to eat here yesterday, it's conveniently located between where my brothers and I live. Called at 10 an to get waitlisted as I saw that it was an hour wait and arrived an hour later as I said I would. I checked in and was told it would be just a few minutes. No problem, I get it. A party of 8 isn't easy to accommodate at a small place such as this. Patiently waited for about 30 minutes and decided to inquire as to how we were doing on getting seated. I was told that they just sat the owners family at the spot that was big enough to accommodate our party. Wow, that's a first. I thought the paying customers on the waitlist for 90 minutes would get priority seating. At this point with nowhere else to go we continued to wait. Another 30 minutes go by and we were finally seated at a table that holds 6 for our party of 8. Meanwhile the owner, his wife and family enjoyed their nice big table and leisurely breakfast. Oh yeah, and the food. I couldn't care less about the food after waiting two and a half hours to eat. You won't have to worry about me ever coming back to inconvenience you and your family Mr. owner. Not that you care anyway. read more

You can't go wrong with anything on the menu but that MEXICAN COFFEE is to die for!!! Love that coffee. Had the yogurt bowl and it was yummy. Thanks to the coffee it was filling! read more

I searched yelp for brunch spots nearby and found Early Bird. I'd been to that shopping center a couple times and never noticed it. What a great find! We waited 25 minutes on a Saturday around noon but it was well worth the wait. I had the philly cheesesteak - very flavorful beef, cheese, onions and jalapenos on a wonderful french roll. Served with nice fries. I would get it again. David had a fried chicken salad which he said was very good, it came with a poached egg but they substituted a hard boiled one for him. Very nice greens, green beans, cherry tomatoes. He would have liked a thicker dressing. Our friends had the grilled cheese and one of the eggs benedict, both looked great and were well received. Service was wonderful. It's so nice to see a casual place that's serious about serving good food in Fullerton. Update: have visited for breakfast. The Frank Floyd benedict, with smoked salmon and spinach and a portabello mushroom base, is really wonderful. This place is a North County gem and I've given them an additional star. read more

The food was good and the wait was reasonable. The service could be better. They do not have enough servers to work when they have a full house. We had omelette and ordered salsa and it never came and they tried to charge for it. I asked for bacon instead of sausage and also had to pay extra! Food is good if ai return it will not be on a weekend! read more

Had the pork belly Benedict quite tasty. Kind of expensive for breakfast, so if you just want eggs this is not the place for you.

We decided to try this place due to the numerous 5-Stars reviews. We left very disappointed. We waited over half an hour for a table even tho over the phone we were told that a party of two should be no problem getting a table right away. A young girl took our order, brought our drinks but forgot my Lemmon. She said she would bring some. She never did. Actually we never saw her again until much later. Our food took way too long and my husbands dish was wrong, we mentioned this to the boy who brought the food out and he said no problem, he will bring a side of hashbrowns. He never did. I flagged our waitress and mentioned that my husband had ordered his dish with hash and not potatoes. She too said she will bring a side of hash. She didn't. I had to remind her a second time. She dropped the hash without a word. My husband's bacon and eggs were terrible, greasy and both the potatoes and the hash tasted weird and we did not eat either. When the check came, we were charged for a side of hashbrowns! The waitress was rude when I mentioned we had ordered hash to begin with, she argued with us but I refused to be charged for food we did not eat. The waitress finally said "fine, I'll remove them" and stormed out to the register. In fairness to the hostess, bus girl, and other employees, they were very nice. But the food and our waitress made our experience one of the worst ever. We won't be going back. read more

the food was delicious but I'm giving 3 stars for service. we waited longer than we were told would be the wait. thats understandable as this is a popular brunch place. what was problematic was if our server actually listened to our order at all. my sister ordered the mexican coffee but received the regular one. my mom ordered sourdough toast but got wheat. my friend got hash browns even though she ordered a salad. we asked for nonfat milk twice because our server forgot. she also forgot to give us cilantro on the side for the chilaquiles. i think it's too many mistakes in one brunch experience to qualify a rave rating. fried chicken sandwich was fantastic though. would highly recommend. read more

Really great food! I wasn't sure this place could live up to the great reviews I've read raving about the food, coffee, and service. It's even better!!!! The staff made us feel like regulars on our very first trip. The omelet was perfect - try the Rockwell; the hashbrowns were perfectly seasoned; and the kids loved their breakfasts. Can't wait to come back. read more

So I joined the waitlist before heading over to Early Bird. Upon arrival, I checked in with the hostess. This is important as this confirms you are present. Yes, I'm such a noob...it was my first time utilizing the waitlist. It's definitely a time saver. I ordered the duck confit and OJ while Mr. K ordered the eggs benedict sampler and Mexican coffee with cinnamon. The duck confit is really savory and filling. I would recommend sharing that dish...and yes you can taste the duck fat . The duck confit came with raisins (weird but it worked as it was sweet), two eggs, croutons, potatoes and arugula..so you can be semi healthy). Mr. K's dish looked really good. He enjoyed the carne eggs benedict the best. I can't say much about that since I try not to eat anything with dairy. It was tempting though! Anyways, I tried some of his Mexican coffee and it was really good. The cinnamon stick is definitely for show. I asked the waiter and he said it's about 80/20 ratio. 80 percent coffee and 20 percent coffee infused with cinnamon. He likes it sweeter so he did 50/50 for us. Basically the cinnamon coffee is pretty sweet so you don't need to add sugar. The cinnamon coffee reminded me of a chai latte. I highly recommend getting that drink if you're going to be adventurous and try something different. Come for the Mexican coffee and delicious food! Don't forget to have an eggy time :p read more

The staff here is really nice, which is why I'm giving the two stars, the menu is not so great. The only thing I've liked on this menu is the yogurt bowl. Definitely do not get the steak and eggs, the steak is about 1/3 uneatable fat. And why is there no turkey bacon? read more

Really good food here. Very expensive but if you can afford it by all means go here. I think its worth it.

it was so yum and they have mexican coffeee!!!!! the hashbrowns are awesome!

The best food! I recommend the grilled cheese. Amazing!!!! The owner is cool and the service is great. The prices are also reasonable (please stay that way Early Bird). read more

This place has been open 3 weeks and they're getting all the kinks ironed out. Overall, it was a good experience (3.5 stars). Good atmosphere (the place smelled like bacon!), great coffee and service is prompt. Came in for breakfast with my sis and was given the brunch menu...OK. But I noticed that some items were missing, like the chicken and waffles. I asked our waitress and she said that they were trying to pare down the menu... to make it less complicated for people who had not visited before. Bull SH*T!!! Get the whole menu! Get overwhelmed with choices! That's what the food experience is about. Back to the food. The Frank Lloyd Eggs Benedict was yummy with perfect poached eggs, salmon, portobello mushroom and bearnaise sauce. The chicken and waffles were excellent and just the right portions for breakfast/brunch. I don't need a 3 piece meal this early in the day. BTW, the gravy has bacon bits in it! Like I said, overall, good dining experience. read more

This place was just lovely. Try the Flank Floyd Benedict and lots and lots of coffee. I agree with an earlier reviewer that this place is better than The Cottage in San Diego. And they gave us new cups of coffee to go when we left! Absolutely will be coming back. read more

Good food and good service. Make sure to take advantage of the Yelp waitlist if you want to get a table though.

Great food...friendly employees...would definitely come back! The app cut down the wait time...we checked in before we left our house and got seated right away. read more

Delicioussssssss!!!... Holyfield steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked exactly to my liking! Super friendly staff!!!

Went for breakfast and it wasn't bad but the wait is very long. Also for the food and portions that you get it's not the cheapest and it's just breakfast. Overall it was good but a little overpriced. read more

There are lots of brunch spots in Orange County but this is my favorite one! I've been here a handful of times so I think it's about time I wrote a review. This place is crazy busy on weekends so be prepared for that, but on weekdays it's quick which I love. Their service is always incredibly good regardless of how busy the place is. The servers recommend things and are super friendly and helpful with ordering. I've had a few of their omelettes and a few of their signature plates, I've never gotten anything here that I didn't absolutely love. The real deal steak and eggs plate is amazing. All of their waffles are so great, I love that they're thin and crispy. That's my favorite kind of waffle. The best one in my opinion is the churro waffle! For such amazing service and delicious food, their prices are completely reasonable. Servings are the perfect size , I'm never disgustingly full or still hungry when I leave. Check this place out you will not be disappointed. read more

Today was my first visit to early bird. The place was packed and on a 30 min wait! Normally I wouldn't wait that long for breakfast but it was so worth the wait!! The carnitas chilliquilles were amazing! The single origin coffee they served was some of the best coffee I have had! I did purchase some as well. They give you a cool coffee mug to take with you too! Service was fast and friendly! It was a very nice breakfast experience!! I will be back again!! Thank you early bird!! read more

Thanks Lindsey ... first time here and will be back. Servers are attentive and very patient . Most breakfast places are not. Anyways food is fresh and good :) read more

Wow! Nice service, quickly seated and helpful about the menu. My bf and I shared the dutch pancake, and true to our server's word it tasted just like a funnel cake YUM! But of course that was just to satisfy my sweet tooth so we also shared the traditional eggs benedict and the john wayne omelet. Needless to say there was plenty of food for just 2 people but there was just too much to not order at least those three. The eggs benedict were cooked perfectly and i do mean PERFECTLY. The omlet was delicious as well, but the eggs benedict won my heart. My only slight dissatisfaction was the skillet potatoes, we asked for them extra crispy but they weren't...while the flavors were good we needed the little extra crispness to them to make 'em pop. Don't forget to order the fresh squeezed oj and a nice hot mugful of mexican coffee (slightly sweet extra cinnamon-y wonderfulness). Loved too that our waitress offered to send more with us in to go cups. Eat here! You won't be disappointed! read more

Stopped in today for breakfast, orded the lomo, and it awesome. Chunks of meat potatoes how can you go wrong. Gabby was attentive and our drinks never went dry. Would definitly recommend this place. read more

Service was great, along with the Yelp reservations. The food was tasty but not spectacular.

Traditional Eggs Benedict are pretty good, I loved their coffee. The Chorizo Omelets need some work, it tasted more like ground beef. Skillet potatoes were a bit too greasy. Service was great. If in the area, I may give them another try. They need to work on their kitchen ventilation system too. read more

Maybe I shouldn't have ordered the carnitas chilaquiles ($12.50), but it was just too constantly spicy. The carnitas were okay and there was a bit of guacamole and cheese to cancel it out but certainly not enough to balance it out. It was topped with two eggs over easy with bits still clear before turning white, so maybe it would've been better scrambled. I think it's usually sunny side up, if not specified. It was spicy enough to give me heartburn and I really do like spicy foods with some kind of balance. Maybe someone that has had more experience with this dish should judge. I definitely don't recommend it for breakfast. The service was alright. No one looked too happy. Everyone looked a bit tired at noon on a weekday when it got fairly full. The coffee was as good as everyone has said. The guapo omelet ($8.50) that came wih hashbrowns and toast was tasty and seasoned well. The blackberry jam that came with the toast was very good. I just can't give a place a 4 if one dish gave me heartburn. Should've tried the eggs benedict. Even if the spicy tortillas were on a bed of nonspicy ones I think it would have been manageable. Oh but these dishes are huge. The pictures don't show how big the portions are because the plates are big as well. The food took a good 30 minutes to arrive maybe more. Put our orders in for food with our drinks and the food. My friend's coke ($2.75) was not refilled and although coffee ($2.75) refills were offered many times before it even reached half. I'd like to come back from the eggs benedict and when the staff is more alert and talkative. I don't need to be bothered but do want to feel welcomed and acknowledged when I leave. By 1, the place is a bout half full maybe less. read more

I've been here twice and tried their eggs benedict, waffles, toast, and coffee, and all I can say is that they do not disappoint. Their service is great too. If you're a fan of eggs benedict and breakfast menus in general you should definitely give this place a try. read more

Second time here. Still enjoying it. Had the carnitas dish. A massive dish if you like a lot of food. A slight kick Ian's really delicious. My wife had the waffles with Blueberry something. Really good as well. I did ask for extra crispy bacon. Not quite as crispy as I liked but it has a great flavor. read more
