Loved the food, service and ambiance but they charge for coffee refills. I was shocked. $3.00 for one cup- we were charged $3.00 for refills. read more

First time here and it exceeded our expectations! The design is incredible and very creative. The service was incredible (Rachel was our server!) and the food was phenomenal! Loved the vibe from start to finish!! read more

Been coming here for a year now, it's always been great everytime! Love this place. Staff and service are awesome!

So, my parents live in the area and I wanted to take my stepdad out for breakfast. We walk in and we notice we are the only Hispanics here... nothing new, it's Nebraska. However, our server gave us a dirty cup of coffee and no straws in our waters.. but I noticed she had no problem putting them in everyone else's water cups. No one has checked in on us since we've ordered our drinks. Only for our food order and nothing else. Dani was her name read more

We had the cereal Killer pancakes (fruity pebbles), bacon platter, french toast, and the breakfast burrito. Everything was as good as the service, simply amazing! We were so glad that Early Bird was recommended to us for a great breakfast. We were skeptical about how good the pancakes could be, but were surprised to discover they were fantastic! I suggest getting one for the table and sharing, as it's very rich. Great time, can't wait to go again. read more

Early Bird is delicious! The wait staff is very friendly and they have the yummiest tea! I have never left disappointed in what I ordered.

Good food and great service. I wish they allowed dogs on their patio, but I guess you can't have everything?

The food is good but the refusal to substitute ANYTHING is frustrating. You're paying for hash browns whether you want them or not.

Even though we joined the wait list we saw people being seated after us and we were continuously picked over until I had to go and address it with the host stand. 20 mins after it said we were 2nd in line and past when they said our wait should be over. read more

Long wait means good food! Best french toast I've ever had. They could work on there waitlist techniques, seems like if you join and get there at the posted time they make you wait longer. They'll spend ample amount of time calling people that aren't there in time for there estimated arrival. Instead of skipping those people that can't make it on time to the ones that have showed up. Thats my biggest issue. read more

Tasty food but a little on the pricy side. The $16 Breakfast Burrito can feed two people and is delicious!

The food was great. We got the Hash Holes for an appetizer, excellent dish. My girlfriend got the Og French Toast and it was some of the best French toast we had ever had. I got the Traditional Breakfast with sunny side up eggs. Great dish with very well seasoned hash browns! The service was great as well. Will definitely be coming back! read more

our Grandson wanted to go there, it was his day so we went. Nothing looked good to the rest of us. it is a very let's just say unusual menu. Granddaughter finally just ordered cinnamon rolls, I ordered breakfast tacos and my husband got eggs with some kind. of round fried potatoes. Oh yes, one items on the menu was titled "woke" . I wanted to leave right then. The food was horrible and was very expensive. will never grace those doors again. read more

Amazing! Best breakfast I ever had. Strongly recommend you try it. Definitely go back

We initially were not planning to have breakfast in a restaurant while in Omaha, but I forgot some key ingredients for our homemade breakfasts. Decided to try the Early Bird on a recommendation of a co-worker. We were glad we decided to try this place. Atmosphere is great and food was excellent. The decor and menu reminds me of a restaurant we have in Overland Park, KS called Snooze, which by the way is top notch. Highly recommend the Carnita Eggs Benedict. It was delicious! The workers were very attentive and pleasant. Made for a very nice breakfast. read more

Fun breakfast spot with strong drinks! Family friendly and honestly one of the best breakfast spots in all of Omaha!

We were seated fairly quickly, even though we were a party of seven. We always get great service and great food.

I understand that it Mother's Day it going to be busy but I was told to wait one hour and I was okay waited 2 hours to be seated told the waitress 4 times if I could get 2 kid's menus , when we got our food was cold and wrong missing items I don't understand why didn't they told us before taking our plate that they run out of some items it just give us what they wanted waited so long to get our food the waitress barley came to our table to ask if we need something had to wait like 20 minutes to get our silverware to start eating read more

Delicious food and well worth the wait! Had a wonderful peach Bellini with my Denver omelet, both so good and serving size was generous so took some home for lunch read more

Gluten-free waffles, 6 different varieties of bacon, large portions, great variations of breakfast staples.

We sat at the bar and the lady bartender was amazing. She not only was fun and professional, she was an expert on the menu. Simply amazing.

This is a wonderful breakfast, brunch, lunch spot. The food is excellent as was the service. The Benedict's are perfection with a side of fruit or crispy hash browns. The patio had tables spaced far enough apart to feel comfortable. I understand they may enclose the patio. read more

This has become one of my favorite go to brunch spots. I always request Pam to be our server. She is super friendly and attentive. I like how unique their menu is. Everything sounds so good! The breakfast burrito is a win for how delicious and big it is. We get 2 meals out of that one! The turkey sausage scramble was the perfect size and tastes amazing. The pancakes all look amazing and are on my wishlist for next time. Its a must try place! read more

I'm so excited that Early Bird opened in Shadow Lake. We loved going to their Blackstone location, but are just as happy with the location closer to home. We've eaten here 3 times since they opened and have enjoyed every minute! read more

Early Bird is a go to brunch and Sunday Funday. Food is amazing and cocktails even better! Simply put, this place is a MUST!

We came here with our family for breakfast and I was utterly disappointed . My eggs and sausage were extremely cold. I don't understand how you can get away with charging 100 dollars for cold food. Will not be coming back EVER. I guess we are paying for ombiance. read more

Awesome experience! Staff was friendly and spot on. The food was amazing. Breakfast nachos!!!

fantastic. BLT was amazing- with the smoked ham flavor probably best I have had. Tots were perfect. wife could not stop talking about the cinnamon role pancake. Ice tea was smooth..brewed fresh read more

came for brunch for my friends birthday. It was a Saturday so I understand that it was busy. That being said it look 45 mins to get a table for 5. We were seated on an outdoor patio without being given the option and there were many bothersome flies which was out of their control. Our server was friendly. However I ordered a vanilla iced coffee and it was subpar, and at 4 dollars, I could get a way better quality latte at dunkin for cheaper. I ordered a waffle, "shoulder bacon", fried shrimp, and hash browns. The waffle was okay, but it didn't have flavor. The hash browns were not good at all and I only took a few bites, I shared them with my friends and none of them liked the taste. The bacon was overly greasy, as bacon is, but again the flavor was just okay. The fried shrimp were the only thing I liked. One of my friends got the burrito, which was overwhelming in size & underwhelming in taste. Another person got a mediocre chicken fried steak, and another the red rooster omelet that was just okay as well. My last friend got the chicken & waffles, which I will say was the best item, by far. Overall the atmosphere and service is good. It's just some of the menu items need revision. read more

It I could negative rate this location I would . They are ass! I waited 15 minutes to even receive a menu. On top of waiting 45 minutes for a meal I didn't receive.they rushed out food that was cold that they had to remake. I hey offered a white man bo charge since he had a long wait and cold food. We only got 25% off we left. Employees where eating and drinking on the floor . Lack of cleanliness shitty customer service overall do not recommend read more

I was so excited to give this restaurant a try when I heard it had replaced Wheatfields. I got pancakes and my boyfriend got the OG French Toast. Both were okay, but nothing too special. I think the food would've been enough for us to say we'd come back if it hadn't been for the serious cafeteria vibes. An entire corner of the space had 22 people sitting within 1-2 feet of each other. I'm extremely cautious with COVID, and have eaten in a restaurant only twice since the start. I could have left if I was extremely worried, and I know it's on me if something happens, but I just felt like that was really odd considering the current times. A lot of the staff seemed really upset too, but that could've been about anything. Nobody greeted us when we entered and nobody said anything when we left. Kinda made me miss the friendliness of Wheatfields. read more

This is such a great little place! Had to wait 45 min for a table and let me tell you, TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT! Best brunch we've had in a while! Service was phenomenal and staff was friendly! read more

Multiple orders with missing items. Order was not even entered in and had to wait additional time for them to make order. Would not recommend for carry out service. read more

Best breakfast place in Omaha metro area! The breakfast burrito and cinnamon roll pancakes are amazing!

Great new breakfast spot in Shadow Lake Papillion. Service was fast, huge outside patio. Had the French toast, wife had one of the benedicts- everything was delicious! Looks like they have a wide array of brunch cocktails we will return for on the weekend! read more

This is not meant to be an overall criticism of the restaurant. I will go back. The menu listed all manner of food I would like to try at another time. The place was clean and bright, the staff was welcoming on my arrival. I was in over my lunch hour on a week day, there was no wait and the service was quick. I was, however, very disappointed in the Ham and Cheese Omelet. Overall, it was so diluted with whatever they're using to make it fluffy that it had no taste whatsoever. The ham was diced so small I couldn't get it/keep it on my fork. If you're going to have a simple dish then all the ingredients have to be on point. The hash browns were not to my liking, but that was strictly a personal preference. These were very substantial and I like mine thin and crispy. I bet most people love them. I would have been happy to offer my opinion at the time, but nobody came back to the table to ask how my meal was or if I needed anything else. Again, I'll go back. But it won't be to order an Omelet. read more

We will never eat at this restaurant again! My wife, two adult daughters, and I enjoy Early Bird's food and have been to the restaurant at least 20 times. One of my daughters has an anaphylactic wheat allergy, and the Early Bird has a delicious gluten free waffle that she enjoys. While the food is actually very good, our dining experiences have always been hit or miss. Sometimes we wonder if the staff was just having a bad day and letting external events impact their service at the restaurant. Nonetheless, we kept visiting the restaurant, because the food was very good. This morning, my two daughters visited the restaurant to have a sister's breakfast as they have many times in the past. My daughter with the wheat allergy ordered the Early Bird meal and asked the waitress if she could substitute the gluten free waffle for the toast as she has done many times before. For the first time in our experiences with Early Bird, the food arrived to the table with toast on top of the eggs and the gluten free waffle on a side plate. My daughter again explained her anaphylactic reaction to the waitress and the need to remake the plate to ensure no cross contamination. The waitress and staff got very defensive over their mistake. They finally agreed to return the plate to the kitchen only to bring it back out to my daughter a minute later. We don't know for sure, but we suspect that the kitchen staff simply removed the toast from on top of the eggs and had the plate returned to my daughter without remaking it and ensuring mitigation of cross contamination. Everything on the plate appeared as it did before with the exception that the toast was now gone and the eggs were cold. My daughter is in the food service industry and did not wish to make an additional fusses about her concerns and simply ate the eggs. Within a minute of eating the eggs, her throat got scratchy, it began to close, and her lungs began constrict and fill with fluid. Luckily, she was able to avoid a trip to the ER with a quick dose of Benadryl and a rescue inhaler followed by additional Benadryl doses throughout the morning. She was in bed for most of the day recovering from the anaphylactic reaction. We've been willing to overlook poor service at the Early Bird Papillion in the past, but this time their attitude put my daughter's health at risk. I just hope that a small child or a person with a more severe allergy does not experience a significant health issue due to the Early Bird's mistakes, unwillingness to take responsibility for their mistakes, and desire to cut corners in regards to food allergies. Omaha is a city filled with fantastic restaurants, most of which truly understand issues of food allergies and bend over backwards to welcome patrons with allergies while ensuring their safety. I am done overlooking the shortcomings of the Early Bird's staff and hope they do not cause a significant health issue for other patrons with food allergies. read more
