First of all can I just say WOW! We were excited at the first because we thought the Neat Bird from Chesapeake had a new location in Norfolk Colley Avenue but there chicken sandwich was even delicious here too with a different owner! We met the owner, he is a cool band guy with a mustache name Dand. The drinks he made for us were so good and so was the way he talked with his staff and the way they worked together. My parner and I had seen that they pride themselfes on Scottish eggs, which we were lucky to try and it was also very delicious! We like that they have the vibe and also a board with many events of the community on the wall to check out while you sip on a delicious expresso martini. Good job to the Bird! now dont go opening another restaurant in Chesapeake or we will all be very confused! read more

Had brunch at The Bird on a Monday morning a couple of weeks ago, and it was amazing. The ambiance is cozy and homey, with a few tables outside, some high-top tables inside, bar seating, three half-booth tables, and even a couch area. You order at the register, and the staff brings the food out to your table. Everyone was attentive, and we had no issues with the service. We ordered the waffle plate, which came topped with fruit alongside eggs and their house sausage. We also tried the Huevos Rancheros, the Sausage Egg & Cheese sandwich, and a build-your-own omelette. For drinks, we ordered the brown sugar cold brew, dulce de leche cold brew, drip coffee, and an espresso martini. The waffle was huge, and the sides were great. My only complaint was that it could have used more fruit, as there were only a few small pieces. The Huevos Rancheros were delicious and came with a generous serving of avocado. The only thing that caught us off guard was the lack of salsa, since in traditional Huevos Rancheros the salsa is a key component. Even so, the dish was still flavorful and filling. The omelette was excellent, and the breakfast sandwich was equally delicious. I was especially impressed by the house-made jam, house-made hot sauce, and the perfectly seasoned home fries. As for the drinks, the brown sugar cold brew was excellent, but the dulce de leche version was far too sweet for my taste. From what I understood, they use two flavored syrups to make it, and I think using smaller portions of each would create a better balance. We ended up adding oat milk and some drip coffee to tone it down. The drip coffee itself was solid and came with free refills. The espresso martini really tied brunch together for me -- strong, well-made, and delicious. Overall, we really enjoyed both the food and the experience, and we'll definitely be back. read more

They can get all 5 stars from me! I really enjoyed the vibe and culture of the restaurant. It seemed like the community enjoyed this place with the constant traffic and slight uptick of business at the early hours of 845am-915am. The menu was delicious. I've never had deviled eggs at a restaurant, especially with a unique candied bacon twist. Like hello? So good! I ordered the Biscuit and Gravy SANDWICH! Let this be your warning that it is big and bountiful. My mom got a waffle platter and it looks so elegant and clean. She scrapped her plate. The 2 staff that helped us were Sean and Steven. Just the chillest guys. They really seemed to just enjoy the general job. Also if ya go, find out who Dorothy is and why the lamp is kept on for her?! read more

This was a great spot to visit for brunch! The chicken and waffles here is one of my favorites in town. Chicken came out crispy and seasoned and were a great pairing with waffles and hot honey.

The Bird - Chicken n' Waffles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Stopped in for a quick bite but a few things stood out. Menu item i.e candied bacon (didn't say it would be served cold). On numerous occasions tried getting the attention of staff and was completely ignored until I had to get up out my seat to address wrong items brought to my table. Establishment is quaint and parking is limited in the small lot, and limited spots on the street first come first serve basis if you're familiar with that area of Norfolk. For the space to be on the smaller side the music was relatively loud. So wouldn't recommend as a place to go and try to catch up with a small group, definitely a pop in and skidaddle type of place. If Im honest a 3 out of 5 is being generous. I spent approximately $21 dollars and left rather unfulfilled. Will I come back Im not sure, detected an air of nonchalance when it came to the errors so Im not kosher on repeat establishments that don't pride themselves on top notch customer service first. I speak very clearly so to have the types of mishaps I had with my rather small meal was a tad over the top for me. Sorry I wouldn't recommend. read more

Came in on a Sunday. We expected a wait since it was brunch time on a weekend. Waited 45 min in line just to get to the front counter to order. You walk in, grab menus, wait in line to order at the counter, and hope to find a table to sit at while you wait for your food to be delivered impersonally. Eventually got to order and the drinks are made by the same person behind the bar taking your order. Chai wasn't homemade and was poured out of a boxed container. Cocktail was okay, but not worth the price. Went out to find a seat and waited for our food to be dropped on the table. Waited about 25 more minutes for food which was reasonable. For food we ordered a BYO omelette, Baja Benedict, and gazpacho. The gazpacho wasn't very flavorful, but tasted good on top of the breakfast potatoes. BYO omelette: the ingredients weren't mixed into the egg at all, fillings were sparse, and not seasoned. Baja Benedict was flavorful, but grilled chicken was lacking in amount. Hollandaise was yummy thankfully. We stuck out the wait because everyone online recommended this place and we are from out of town. What a mistake. We should've gone to the cafe a few doors down whose plates looked filled up and seasoned. The wait staff here was just as bland as the food. I use the term wait staff lightly as you had to order at the counter, get your own seats, your own silverware, pour your own water glasses, etc. Go somewhere else for a nice brunch experience. This didn't hit the mark at all. At the end of the meal found a lovely piece of hair that wasn't mine on the plate. I didn't bother saying anything because at that point we just wanted to leave. We didn't want anything else. It felt stressful and far from relaxing. The inside decor is cute? read more

Cute little spot to grab breakfast at. You come in and grab your own menu and place your order at the front and then sit anywhere it. It is fairly small in the inside (they also have a few tables outside as well) I do not recommend comimg here with a large party. I would suggest a party of 4 or smaller to be able to sit together.

The Bird coffee shop offers a delightful experience with its delicious food and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant itself was clean, which adds to the overall charm. Although we had a slightly rocky start with the first bartender, she seemed a bit indifferent, the other bartender quickly turned our experience around with his friendly service. I must also commend the bathroom, it was really clean and cozy, making for a pleasant visit. Overall, The Bird is a solid choice for a satisfying meal in a chill environment. read more

What a hidden gem! I stopped here for brunch while down in Norfolk on a Sunday. They are open until 2PM on Sundays for brunch, then open again for dinner at 5. We stopped in around 12:30PM, and it was a quiet afternoon at The Bird. I love the interior of this spot. You order at the counter / bar, then seat yourself. There is plenty of seats outside if that's your vibe, too! I ordered the espresso martini after hearing great things about it. How could I not? My friend and I ordered the special deviled eggs, which were California roll style to share, and I ordered the baja benedict for my entree. English muffin topped with grilled chicken, poached eggs, hollandaise, house corn bean salsa, and avocado. We took our seat and waited only only a few minutes for our cocktails, and maybe 15 for our food. Not bad at all. The first bite of the deviled eggs was incredible. It tasted like an actual sushi roll, but disguised as an egg. Great dish to try. My benedict was so tasty. The home-fries were perfectly crisp, and the benedict had a little spice, the chicken was cooked to perfection and the toppings made it. I can't wait to come back to try their dinner menu. I was eyeing the triple pickle sandwich!! read more

Amazing vibes!!! Came late on a Thursday night for a drink and small bites, the dining room was decently full. Loved the dim lighting and the music. Order at the bar, the bartenders were very friendly and accommodating. The Aviation cocktail was delicious. The have a rotating selection of deviled eggs, but I'm not a fan of smoked salmon so I opted for the regular. Very dilly and delicious. The baby Caesar was also the perfect size. I think I'm going to come back for a "girl dinner" of truffle fries and caesar salad next time I'm here. Would love to come back and sample the brunch and coffee! read more

First off, Kevin, our server was awesome! Friendly, efficient and just plain terrific. He made us glad that we chose The Bird for brunch. This is a cute, small cafe. They have a robust and interesting menu, and cocktail program. I was with a group, so we ordered a number of small plates to share, in addition to entrees. All of the food was excellent!

I went to the Bird to meet with a friend for cocktails last week. The restaurant was quaint and had a lovely ambiance. The staff was kind and gave us drink recommendations. I tried two beverages: the aviation & the isla jade. Both were lovely! I also tried the truffle fries. They were salty which I personally like, but I didn't taste any truffle flavor. I will definitely come back for drinks and would like to try some other food items! read more

I was told that there will be a wait. At 10:12am on a Friday you'd think the early morning 8am crowd's gone and the lunch crowd isn't here yet - but there's still a wait. Took about 15 minutes to get my order in. Ordered a vanilla latte to hold me over for the don't know how long the food will come wait. The latte is really good - right amount of sweetness. Parking is available up front but only about 3 spaces. Then there are lots to the left and right of the restaurant but marked for different restaurants. So I hope they won't tow! Music playing over PA system, average to loud. Decor and place cards reflective of what do you know ...birds! I ordered the breakfast tacos. The ingredients were fresh. Flavorful and has the right amount of (spicy) kick! read more

Always great food and service. Chicken and waffles were delicious and the colonial bene was amazing.

The Bird has been on my radar ever since it opened so a friend and I stopped in for Brunch on Sunday around 1pm. With the restaurant having very limited seating, she did have to wait a bit before I arrived but was able to grab a hightop near the bar. Unfortunately, the table was very small and the area was a bit tight. Thankfully, some people sitting at a normal table were leaving and we were able to grab their spot. As we sat down, I couldn't help but notice how beautifully decorated the restaurant was. I loved all the bird pictures and greenery, it gave very cozy vibes. The Brunch menu had an array of options so we decided to try the Chicken & Waffles, Candied Bacon, French Onion Soup Deviled Eggs and a Biscuit with Home Fries. The food was served fairly quickly and overall, everything was pretty good. The Chicken & Waffles were amazing! The chicken was fried perfectly and seasoned very well. It tasted even better when I added the hot honey and homemade hot sauce. The Candied Bacon had a salty finish but paired well with the other food items. The French Onion Soup Deviled Eggs were the special and even though they weren't bad, I probably wouldn't order them again. The Biscuit was buttery and decadent, I love that they make them in house. Of course we had to indulge in drinks so we started with Espresso Martinis which were wonderful. Someone nearby ordered the Fowl Play so I had to try it as well. It was served with a lit cinnamon stick which gave it a very smooth and smoky flavor. It was divine. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at The Bird. The wait does get pretty long, especially on weekends, so keep that in mind. You also have to order your food up front near the bar, which becomes a bit of a nuisance since you to have to get up every time you want to order food/drinks but definitely stop in and try them out. You won't be disappointed! read more

Sophia and I had breakfast here at this small Norfolk spot during Presidents Day weekend. The first time I caught wind of The Bird was through Channel 13 when they were spotlighted for their Friday Flavor segment last year. So why not give them a try? The building itself is small with a few small tables and a few tabletops along with the main bar. Inside, the decor is excellent. This is basically your neighborhood bar. And you can see the kitchen area adjacent to the bar as well. Once you walk in, you go the front and place your order with the option of paying now or after you're done with your meal. I selected the Eggs in a Nest meal which is Texas Toast with eggs in the center, home fries and bacon/sausage (I chose their house sausage). At first, I assumed that eggs would be between the toast slices, but nope. These are literally eggs cooked in the center. I chose medium cooked instead of hard fried. The dish may not look like much, but it worked. Both egg toast slices were cooked very well, the home fries were slightly crunchy and the sausage had a nice maple taste. I also had their hot brown sugar latte which was very good. Sophia had their waffle plate which she enjoyed as well. The Bird definitely knocked it out of the park. Both of us will be back here again real soon. Till next time :) read more

I decided to visit the Bird on a Sunday morning after reading the reviews. I must admit I was a little dissappointed but then I reminded myself reviews are very subjective including mine lol The resturant was fairly easy to find, located right on Colley. Parking included both street and a parking spacing adjacent to the resturant. There is no host seating, you seat yourself. Some will describe the space as cozy but to me it was just small including the tables. If you are looking for a place that will sit a large party this restuarant most likely would not be the best option. When you order your food you have to pay for it up front, which definitely gave me take out vibes. I ordered the waffle plate which includes a waffle topped with fruit, two eggs, potatoes and choice of breakfast meat. I personally was not a fan of their waffle. In my opinion the waffle was lacking flavor and was very flour forward in taste. My turkey sausage was not cooked all the way and when I sent it back to the kitichen they gave me back the same sausage that I broke apart and bit vs giving me a new sausage. Overall, the Bird was ok, but I doubt I would drive back to Norfolk just to eat there. read more

The service was great! Everyone was super friendly and the food came out surprisingly fast. The one thing we didn't really like was that it was a "pay first and seat yourself" system. It's a small, but busy place and it seemed like some people wanted to stay and chat. We had to wait a while for our seat, but we eventually got one at the bar! The huevos rancheros is super good!

As fancy as this place is, I'm surprised they don't have any wait staff. Place is very small and when you walk in, you need to grab your own menu and utensils and order your own food at the bar. I think that puts a lot of work on the bartender. Like making one person do jobs that two people should do. The table markers for the food are notable birds or people which I think is funny and has a nice touch. I ended up with the Coconut Something as my drink and my partner got a latte. He said it was really well made and delicious. Said it was strong and bold. My drink was pretty tasty. Everything we had was delicious. The prices were really high but prices are like that nowadays. I got the Egg in the Nest which was the first time I've ever had something like this and it was really delicious. The bacon wasn't fatty and really crispy. They skimmed on the home fries though. It could've been more. He went with the Huevos Rancheros. Everything was flaky and bursting with flavors. We shared the Bourbon Bacon Jam. It had really thick pieces of bacon and I believe there's some onion in it but it was sweet and not overwhelming. Overall it was a great choice and will be back. read more

A fantastic brunch spot! This place has limited seating during the winter, but I could see it being more comfortable in the spring and early summer! The inside is so eclectic and cozy though! You order at the register and the staff bring you your drinks and food. My fiance and I ordered a pumpkin latte and matcha latte. First, I want their espresso bean secrets!! His latte was so smooth, and their in house syrup was the cherry on top. My matcha was also so good! Kudos to the lovely latte art. For breakfast we ordered their candied cajun bacon, the scotch eggs, chicken and waffles, and the chicken sandwich. The scotch eggs were SO GOOD! I've been dying to try them and they did not disappoint. My chicken and waffles were perfect--a soft waffle perfectly contrasting a cajun spiced crispy chicken thigh. The side hot honey was a perfect addition. My fiancé loved how crispy and flavorful his chicken sandwich was. The cajun candied bacon was also delish!! Overall, this place is so good! read more

The Bird is one of my absolute favorite spots in Norfolk! It has such a unique vintage vibe that's truly unmatched, and the food is consistently amazing. Whether you're stopping in for a drink, breakfast, brunch, or a late-night bite, this place never disappoints. Some of my personal favorites are the Southwest Salad, espresso martini, red pepper hummus, deviled eggs, and bacon jam--so good! For late night, I can't recommend the chicken and waffles enough. It's the perfect post-night-out meal when you're craving something breakfast-y but elevated. The menu always feels thoughtful, fresh, and gourmet, and you can tell the ingredients are high quality. On top of that, the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even better. It's a smaller restaurant, but the cozy vibe works in its favor, and the outdoor seating is such a plus. Located right on Colley, it's in a super walkable part of Norfolk that just adds to the charm. This spot deserves all the hype--it's truly a Norfolk hidden gem! read more

Walked in to meet my friend on a rainy, cold day. Was unaware that this was a seat yourself and order at the counter kind of place. Not a big deal. We were able to take a seat at the window. My friend went to stand in line and place her order while I stayed at our seat but we didn't lose them. Took her a little over 10 minutes to place an order. We got our mimosas pretty quickly and the food shortly thereafter. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese on a biscuit and added a side of fries. She got the breakfast tacos with home fries. Those home fries were delicious! Kristi on the outside top on the inside and really well season. My bacon egg and cheese biscuit was pretty underwhelming. The bottom of the biscuit was burned. Biscuit itself was dry, I'm guessing from being overcooked. My friend really wants her breakfast tacos. Overall it was a nice place to meet for brunch. read more

My friend wanted to try this place and after I seen the menu, I couldn't wait to try it either. I love a good brunch and apparently this place is very popular. It is a little small on the inside. Very cute vibe. I will tell you that it's seat yourself order from counter service. The only thing that makes you nervous is if you go up to order, someone might take your table. So at first, I forgot that we had to go up and order our own food so we were sitting there waiting for a waitress and then it dawned on me that we're supposed to go order from the counter ourselves. Of course we started our adventure with the typical espresso martini for the both of us. They were very good! It's now become a thing that each time we go out to brunch that we indulge in an espresso martini. Placing the order was quick and easy our drinks were ready right away . Our food came quick to considering how busy it is it kind of was surprising how fast the service was. There was a little wait it wasn't very long. They moved people in and out quite quickly. At first, we had gotten a bar top table. It was kind of small for two of us because we knew we were going to order quite a bit of things to try so a table had opened up and we moved to jump over on the table, which was a larger. We opted to order quite a few appetizers and small plates to try and share. So we ordered the French onion soup, deviled eggs on a potato nest , candied bacon, a biscuit, chicken and waffles to share home fries the candy bacon was salty. We were not sure why the deviled eggs were called French onion soup deviled eggs. It had no taste of French onion soup whatsoever and I did not see a nest of potatoes , we shared the waffle was tasty my friend ate the chicken and said it was very good. The biscuit was good. You can tell. It's homemade the home fries were just your average home fries. As we're sitting there eating our food the table next to us ordered a cocktail that came out with a cinnamon stick on fire. It looked very interesting so we asked the gentlemen what was the name of the drink that he was drinking we ended up ordering one of those it was called Foul Play and I ordered A Cat Named Mexico. We figured that we would share and try each other's drinks. I really enjoyed A Cat named Mexico. It was very refreshing. It would make a great summer drink Foul Play was also really good. Very interesting. I'm not a big fan of smoke flavor Mezcal is not my thing, but it was very good. The presentation was the best. To the left of us, two gentlemen came in and sat down and they ordered what look to be some more interesting drinks so we asked them what they were drinking and what they had ordered for an appetizer. They had ordered an espresso martini as well, and I cannot recall the name of the other drink. For an appetizer, they had ordered the bacon bourbon jam we had told them that we were gonna order that but we had so much other food that we decided to pass on that they insisted that we try it so they gave us some to try. I'm glad that we didn't order it. It was very sweet. I'm glad we decided to go like I said the place is very cute. I would definitely go back even if it's just for the cocktails alone because those were definitely a winner. read more

Absolutely horrid , customer service was non existent , I understand having bad days however it felt like there was no care from the lady at the register .

If you like seasoned food do not come here .

I first gotta mention that it's street parking here. When it's a nice day out, I recommend sitting outside. They do not take any reservations. It is first come first serve. I've been here multiple times and every dish was very delicious. I recommend going here earlier in the day on Saturdays and Sundays because it gets quite crowded during brunch time. I highly recommend the huevos rancheros because it's a lot of food for a really good price. Also, it's self-order. Just grab a menu when you enter the restaurant and then order at the bar whenever you are ready. I also recommend drinking a spicy bloody mary (they make their homemade hot sauce, it's really good!). The cappuccino was a great design as well. There are also some seats at the bar if there aren't any tables available. read more

Too small to serve people. Need a larger space to accommodate more people. Food was not bad.

I'm always down for a new, hip brunch spot! Met my parents here for brunch last Saturday around 11am. We came between a lull and got lucky and found a nice shaded table outside. They only have a few tables inside with more seating outside. Order at the register and pay then sit and wait for your food. It's kinda self service / service as food is brought to your table when done but any condiments and refills you're expected to get yourself. Like syrup and utensils and refills on drinks. This made for a lot of getting up while we ate. They should bring syrup and ketchup when they come drop off your waffles and home fries since you have to go get coffee refills yourself too... We tried a Benedict, chicken and waffles, the egg salad on everything bagel and a grilled chicken sandwich with home fries. Everything was good. The chicken is delicious, as expected. Home fries were legit, great seasoning, hot and fresh. Really enjoyed them. Nice menu with lots of options and some lighter fare for those who don't indulge - like avocado toast and yogurt parfaits. I think all places need a few things for people who might be gluten free or vegetarian or just on a diet. They have that! They have a great drink menu as well with tons of coffee and non-alcoholic spritzers and drinks to enjoy. I had a delicious grapefruit spritzer. Parking is easy on the streets nearby in a fun part of norfolk. Solid 4 stars. read more

This is a cute little chic food spot in Norfolk. It's not too big so I do not recommend coming here with a large party, but it is nice if you are with one or two other people, you can sit at the bar, a regular table, or a few cozy chairs that has a living room vibe. The location is self seating in you order your food at the register you have to get your own utensils and napkins plus water, which is a little annoying. I think they should already put the utensils and napkins on the table. If not, at least the condiments like syrup and ketchup. The food is very tasty and filling. You can't really beat the price for the experience overall enjoyed everything here! read more

Came here with my friend who was in town for the week. We were looking forward to what this new spot had to offer. Upon entering we were greeted by friendly faces and grabbed a menu to review. Because the restaurant is titled Bird, they have fun different types of Birds that they give you to place at your table, we got Larry Bird. I think this adds a fun touch and brings personality to the establishment. We ordered the Colonial Benedict, Breakfast Tacos, Breakfast Sliders and a couple cocktails. The breakfast sliders were biscuits with sausage, egg, cheese and roasted red pepper. On the biscuit the sausage was really good but the biscuit itself was hard, dry and crumbly which was the opposite of what I wanted and was expecting. The Colonial Benedict had bacon and bacon jam. The egg was over cooked and it just held no personality. It was my least favorite Benedict I've had. The breakfast tacos had eggs, bacon, corn-bean salsa, avocado and smoked Gouda. They were best bite we had paired with their homemade hot sauce which had great flavor and kick. All in all I don't think I'd visit again, the tacos were good and the homemade hot sauce but it wasn't enough to interest me in returning as everything else was disappointing. read more

LOVE the vibe here. The decor and green walls are so cozy. Stopped in for a late dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the food. The home fries were nice and crispy and seasoned well. The chicken was fried perfectly and the waffle had a nice hint of sweetness. The drinks were very well crafted. Their drink menu stood out to me as it's pretty different from most places around here and I feel like it gives you the chance to try something new, which is fun!

This place never fails to satisfy. It's small and mostly self service but definitely worth it. I had the chicken and waffle it is absolutely delicious! The chicken is well seasoned and fried perfectly. I usually don't like chicken thigh but this has very little fat so you never get those chewy fatty spots. The waffle is thin and dense. I like it but if you want crisp and airy this will not meet that expectation. I also tried the avocado toast this go round and it was my least favorite appetizer I had here. It's hard to mess up avocado toast but this is the only fail I've had. Hard pass on the avocado toast. Other alternatives that were outstanding are the candied bacon and bacon jam. My friend had the waffle platter and loved it. Expect long lines and outdoor seating. Matter of fact, plan for outdoor seating and hope you can find a spot inside. I have yet to get a spot inside but the outdoor seating isn't bad when the weather is nice. Go in order at the counter, grab some water, napkins and utensils and wait for them to match your table with your designated table maker. Food comes out quickly. Good food and good company makes a great brunch. Enjoy. read more
