This place is dog water. Found a hair in my food to begin with. Their French toast is ridiculously overpriced for what it is and what it comes with. Service tries, but ultimately comes off fake. Would have had a better experience at run of the mill diner than this whatever you call this place. read more

If you want good breakfast, this is a must try. When I first browsed the menu, there were so many dishes that I wanted to try. An indicator that I will absolutely be back for more. I ended up ordering a boring chicken salad but it was a delicious one at that! The salad came with crispy chicken fingers and a poached egg. I knew I had to conserve space for the Mimosa Flight that we had ordered. They have different flavored mimosas so that everyone could enjoy. Other dishes that were enjoyed at our table were the Chilaquiles and Eggs Benedict. It looks like whenever they can, they incorporate a small roasted tomato with bread crumbs as their signature on every plate. I think that was a nice innovative touch. Usually a long wait for this place so I'd recommend planning ahead and putting yourself on the waitlist powered by Yelp. read more

Wife and I tried this place on a whim while visiting Disney. I'm not exaggerating when I say this place might have been the highpoint of the day. The food is *unbelievable*. I had the Benny Sampler, and it was 3 of the best Eggs Benedicts I've had. The textures were perfect in all 3, and the flavors were all very different, and very balanced. My wife had the churro waffles. They were, somehow, even better. She was a little disappointed when they came out; she was expecting fluffy, pillowy easels, and these were thin, and looked dense. However, one she tried them, all doubts went away. They were light, airy, and while very sweet, weren't cloying or overwhelming. Very nice crunchy texture as well. The food aside, the place is clean, bright, and the staff is very friendly. Definitely, *definitely* give this place a try. One of the best breakfast places we've every been, and I doubt anyone would be disappointed. read more

Mexican coffee--a little too sweet for my taste? However breakfast special--eggs, sourdough toast , great bacon and hash browns are a nice start to the day! Mexican breakfasts appeared large and tasty? Maybe next year? read more

Your typical breakfast and lunch spot on the border of Brea and Fullerton! Located in a shopping center with a grocery store and a few other restaurants and shops, this place is easy to miss! In addition to the regular menu look on the Wall for their specials! I got one of their specials, a churro waffle, and my friend got a Benedict with salmon on it! My waffle was pretty good! Something different from your average breakfast waffle. It was covered in cinnamon sugar and came with a sweet sauce! I would consider getting it again, but something with eggs or protein would probably be a lot more filling! I was still a little hungry after eating it! I'm generally drawn to breakfast/brunch spots with a more exciting atmosphere than a simple shopping center, but it was a good meeting location for my friend and I that day! I would consider coming in again if I was in the area, but wouldn't make the Early Bird and out of the way destination! read more

I needed a central place to meet with some friends. We randomly picked this place, (well after looking at their menus pictures) as we got there we waited for about 45+ minutes, primarily because we had a large party and they were trying to accommodate us in two large tables. I finally asked the servers to sit us in two separate tables. The servers were super polite, and genuinely friendly. The hosts were ok, I think the servers can share some pointers on going above and beyond. About the food- wow, the pictures made true justice. I don't remember the name of my dish, I remember that it was some kind of French toast and it was SO delicious, I also got a quinoa salad; it was full of flavor, it was fresh! Overall, it's a great place and I'll definitely be going back, perhaps in a smaller party! read more

My boyfriend and I have been trying to try this place for a few months now. It has always been too busy for us when we would go. Finally today we get us early enough to beat the crowd. I got the brioche French toast and my boyfriend got the Eastwood omelet! We split are plates to share and both dishes where amazing! We will be returning to try other dishes! read more

Early Bird - Brioche French Toast - New American Near Me - Fullerton, California

We came here on a very busy Sunday morning. Luckily we were able to put down our names on the waitlist on yelp, so it shortened our wait time at the actual restaurant by 30 minutes. Seeing how crowded it was, we were expecting the food to be absolutely spectacular. Neither of us live in Fullerton, or close to this restaurant; therefore, my guess is this place is a popular local brunch place. They have unique items on their menu, and it was hard to choose from so many things that seemed enticing. We ended up trying dishes that were based on our waitress' recommendation, and her description of what we ordered was pretty accurate. We had to add salt and tobacco sauce to both our dishes to bring out the flavors. Nevertheless, it was nice to try a new brunch place. Seeing as how we don't live close to Fullerton we may not go out of our way to make it there. However, I recommend a stop by if you're passing through, staying close to Fullerton, or live near there. read more

Overpriced food, long waits and bad service. I would have given it more stars if the food was great but unfortunately it is not. The chilaquiles were hard and their over easy eggs were too runny. Definitely not coming back. read more

Received bad food here. Currently on day 5 since food poisoning. I thought maybe it was a bad day, so I tried to reach out to them personally regarding my issue but they never responded back. They can have my review instead. read more

Amazing food, amazing service, 10/10 recommend everyday. Going today again because it's just that good.

The food was delicious. The meals are always tasty. But my favorite menu item is the mimosa flights. They will give you a nice buzz.

The title implies exactly when you should arrive...EARLY! The later in the morning that it gets, the longer your wait will be. The food is good and priced accordingly. I've never left hungry and I feel like they have plenty of options for lots of taste buds. They have cold brew, but the last two times we went they only had iced coffee, which was still tasty. There's usually ample seating room first thing in the morning, but like I said the later in the morning it gets, the busier this place gets! read more

Early Bird has to be one of my favorite brunch spots in OC so far! Myself & my girlfriend always crave Early Bird when we wake up! I order the John Wayne Omelette with the potato wedges and it's so good! It comes with toast and their jam is very good! Their coffee is great, service is great! My girlfriend gets the Chilaquiles and she loves that! It's easily one of their most popular dishes! All in all, great food! read more

I love it here! The food is amazing and definitely worth the long wait time that there can be at times. It's pretty small inside, but very cute. Everyone I've encountered has been really nice and pleasant. I usually have to make adjustments to my food because I have allergies and they are very accommodating. read more

I had high hopes going here for breakfast with a friend. Most of the reviews on here praised the good food and good service. When we got there it was definitely packed, but since there was just two of us we were able to slip in pretty quickly. Almost no wait at all. Within ten minutes we both had a hot cup of coffee and our order placed. Because it was busy, it was a little noisy inside but that just comes with the territory of going to a popular restaurant. I got the brioche French toast, one piece was significantly dryer than the other, but overall the flavour was good. I loved the roasted almonds tossed on top for texture. My friend has the Elvis waffle, he seemed to like it but it was a very small portion. All in all, I would like to go back and try more of their food. Perhaps on a weekday if I ever have the time, so I can enjoy the ambiance a little more without screaming children sitting behind me and toddlers throwing dishes of butter next to me. Parking is easily accessible and it's easy enough to find, but be prepared to wait if you're going on a weekend. By the time we left, the queue was at an hour! I definitely wouldn't wait that long for this place. Hoping the next time I go I'll like it more! read more

Love this place! Great food and great service. I've had almost everything on the menu and you really can't go wrong with anything you choose. They have the best bacon in town! Any of the Benedict's are great. I normally get them served on a portobello instead of the English muffin. They have a bene-sampler that's a great way to go. Their blue cheese dressing is bomb-diggity!! read more

Hands down, the Best eggs Benedict place in the OC! I always get the frank floyd benedicts, and it never disappoints. They have seasonal waffles as well, which are perf for when you get those sweet cravings. Always a long line, but the waitlist function is a lifesaver. Seriously, use it. If you're a coffee person, their coffee is a MUST & it's refillable read more

Weird I wrote a review already and it didn't post? ! Anyways to make a long story short we were seated and didn't get our food even though customers that got seated after us got their food. Food was mediocre do not get the chilaquiles verdes. The avocado toast had hard avocado that wasn't ready to be eaten. No flavor creamer. I joined the waitlist via Yelp yes we got seated right away but our food was extremely late so it didn't matter. read more

The food here is DELICIOUS! I highly recommend the Mexican coffee too! Stopped here by myself, got sat super fast and the service was impeccable! I'm a sucker for anything eggs Benedict and the traditional Benedict was soooo tasty! It did not disappoint one bit, I also got it with the hash browns which were just as good. I cleared my whole plate, I rarely do that! if you're ever in the area and looking for some delicious food, stop by here! You won't regret it! read more

Early Bird - Traditional Eggs Benedict, Toast with butter and jam, Hash Browns, and Mexican coffee! - New American Near Me - Fullerton, California

This place has the best bang for the bung on mimosas. Please see my attached photos for the most up to date pricing on the menu. They are still competitive with their pricing but with tip, expect a good $45 to $50 fro meals and drinks. The eggs are great, the sausage is exceptional and the pancakes are a great texture. My wife had the breakfast sandwhich and we have to say it was the best breakfast sandwhich we ever had. I had the Eastwood and it was good but my wife's breakfast beat it by far. I do not recommend the veered salsa though. The flavor was more burnt and bitter than the refreshing but tingling savory I expect from a salsa verde. Now not only is the price of breakfast great and the price for the mimosa is fantastic but flavor is fantastic and they come in multitudes of flavors. I have to say the coffee was good with a little bit of cream. Just a tad to acidic without that splash of cream but by the third cup you get used to it. Would recommend 9 out of 10. read more

If you want a locals experience this is the place. Best coffee in the oc and best waffles too

Decided to give this place a try after reading all of the raving reviews. There was a lot of people eating there and it gave me hope! We ordered the El Guapo which was cold and the hash browns were not cooked all the way. Also, order the Fried Chicken sandwich and was soooo excited, but it was flavorless. I'm ok with most food and will manage with "ok" food but for the price I expected more quality. Didn't find that here :/. read more

Wow. This place is hoppin. My friend and I had to get here by 8AM to get a seat lol. By 9 there was already line out the door. Great brunch menu. I mean it feels like a diner so they have your typical breakfast options too, but they also offer more than just that. I got their salmon Benedict and it came with a side of potatoes. The Benedict was a little soggy but I think it was because of the spinach between the muffin and salmon. It was good, but the soggy texture was something I kept thinking about the entire time. Let's not forget about their mimosa "flight." And I put quotations around flight because it was not a flight serving. 3 mason jars full of yummy mimosa haha. They also offer different flavors too, which I appreciated. Overall, I'd go back again. read more

Did the yelp online checkin on a Saturday at 11:00 AM and waited 45 minutes. Ordered: Eggs benedict - the egg was cooked well, in fact, all of it was cooked well. The only problem was that the temperature of the food was closer to room temperature than Id like. It's good but not a super-star. Score: 7/10 Duck Confiet Hash - Duck was a bit overcooked and stringy but tasted spot on, potatoes were excellent, salad was a fresh. This was enjoyable and definately a star item. Score 9/10 Orange Juice - Don't think it is freshly squeezed in store. Was not enjoyable and overpriced. Score: 5/10 Drip Coffee: Decent. It did it's job and came with free refills. Score: 7/10 This place is good to take a date since all of the food is picturesque. In terms of taste, it's above average but not in the upper tier like Rialto Cafe in DTF or Blue Jam read more

Great food! I had the churro waffle and it was soooooo tasty along with there sausage, hash browns and eggs! The sausage are made fresh everyday along with everything else! I tasted the blueberry waffles and those are just as good! The waffles are made like a funnel cake so don't expect your thick traditional waffles. The service was awesome, had to wait like 20 mins for a table on a Sunday morning so it was packed with a line but our server Gaby the young lady with a great smile was the best! Ooooo and the hash browns have cheese in them which made them taste even better! read more

I recently tried this place with my sister and we liked it a lot! The restaurant itself is very clean and well lit so it's a great space to have some coffee and start your morning. Early Bird has your traditional breakfast options with added twists. We tried the churro waffle and it tasted exactly like a churro! Though it is a bit pricey for breakfast, they definitely have great customer service and great tasting food. I would definitely visit again! read more

Early Bird - Churro Waffle - New American Near Me - Fullerton, California

Cute place but sadly that's where the positives end. The breakfast menu has no options for people who don't eat pork or beef. Customer service was slow and I accommodating. It was so cold inside and when we asked if they could please turn the heater on, the hostess said they can't. I can understand only a manager having the ability to change the thermostat, but all the guests kept coats and hats on and even the employees had jackets on. Honestly , it was warmer outside I a cold winter morning than inside. read more

We went on a Monday morning when most people were off for a holiday, so we expected a wait. They said it would be 30 minutes, but called us back within 10 minutes. It was very busy and trendy. Lots of young people and young families. The food was delicious. We loved everything we ordered. The waitstaff just seemed overwhelmed. They were nice and did their best, but I felt sorry for them because they were so busy. read more

I like that they allow you to check in on the waitlist through Yelp here. My friend and I were looking for a brunch spot in the area and I checked in while we were still driving; by the time we got there we only waited 10 minutes before getting seated. The restaurant itself has pretty high ceilings so you won't feel claustrophobic sitting next to others. We shared a Frank Floyd benedict, duck confit hash, and a side of bacon. I had a hard time deciding between the Frank Floyd or the pork belly benedict, but if you like salmon and portebello mushroom then the Frank Floyd is the way to go because the mushroom flavor is more pronounced than the other ingredients. The hash browns were just the right portion for me, but I didn't really see the purpose of the tomato. I definitely enjoyed the duck confit hash more. It had a mixture of different flavors and textures, which made every bite feel new. The bacon here is thick cut and perfectly crispy. Our server was helpful and attentive. Although the brunch food here isn't extraordinary I think the waitlist system and friendly staff make it worth another visit to try out some other dishes. read more

I came on a Thursday morning around 9 and seated myself near the window. It wasn't that crowded but around 11 there was a line. The menu isn't huge but size isn't everything. I ordered the "Dutch" (blueberry pancake) and a side of hashbrowns. My friend got the churro pancakes which sounds like it's officially part of the menu. They do have some specials written on the board. I thought the waffle was delicious! It was a little small but also only 6.5$ so not bad. It was crispy on the edge but also soft in the center where they piled it high with a blueberry syrup. It was thin waffle, not what I was used to but also something I could get used to. Their hashbrowns are also filled with cheese and onions, I would've liked mine crispier (even though I asked for them crispy) but I still ate all of it. It's a good place and I would definitely go back but not sure if I'd be willing to wait longer than 10 minutes for this. read more
