I always try and find local establishments when I travel for football and the Yellow Bird Café did not disappoint. Their food was hot fresh and fast. Their staff is friendly and portions are generous. I recommend adding a couple of fried eggs on top of the grits read more

LOVE Yellow Bird. The prices, the service, the food. 10/10. I typically get the Two To Tango but I decided to venture off and ended up with a new favorite the Molletes, it comes with 2 long Mexican breads with refried beans and Swiss cheese. Super soft, super amazing with chorizo. I always get the Ponchatoula favorite pancakes as well & their AMAZING tamales! read more

Food was great. Really good and diverse selection. Service was good. We will be back. Worth the 20 mile drive from Amite.

Friendly welcome, server took order but did not listen to options. Food was okay. We were visiting from out of state. Everyone was preoccupied with someone delivering gifts of some kind. It is a local breakfast spot. read more

I got the BLTA (BLT with avocado) and it was sooo goo! Honestly the grilled potatoes were my favorite part of the meal but everything was delicious! Can't wait to go back and try more! read more

Yellow Bird Cafe - BLTA and grilled potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hammond, Louisiana

My husband and I stopped in for breakfast while in Hammond. We love supporting small businesses when possible. We were extremely dissatisfied with our meal. We both ordered the seafood omelet with potatoes. To say the omelette was bland is an understatement. We tried adding some salt and pepper, but it couldn't fix the issue. The potatoes were extremely mushy. They looked like mushrooms. They were grey in color. Nothing like a typical breakfast potato. The place is small and the staff was a bit odd. We won't be back. read more

They started smoking in the restaurant. We tried to eat there this morning but we it smelled too bad and we were getting a headache. It's an old building and if you smoke in it, it will absorb that smell. We won't be going back. read more

The food was very good and fresh. We tried the basic breakfast with eggs, link sausage and a biscuit. We also had the mushroom and sausage omelette. Service was good and the waitresses were trying hard to cover a completely full restaurant. No issues getting coffee refills. The restaurant is kept very clean. read more

Food was good. Service was fast. LA shrimp and grits was flavorful. Lots of menu items for breakfast and lunch.

Very good breakfast, not so friendly staff. Place is small and crowded but the food is very good.

This my second time patronizing this restaurant. Nothing has changed since 2019. I Love the cute hometown feel and the service is impeccable. read more

The food was delish and although busy arrived in good time. The waitress was very knowledgeable and kind. Service with a smile. The cozy setting was a calm sweet experience! Loved it! read more

The food wasn't the worst, but the drinks were horrible. The server said the orange juice was freshly squeezed but really from concentrate. My wife didn't like it and she refused to remove from the bill. Also I am fluent in Spanish and the server bad mouthed me to all the employees loudly thinking I couldn't understand. It was disgusting the level of customer service. I will never bring my family back. Horrible service. read more

Great fresh breakfast, but the location seems very busy. I've never dined in but I hope to one day, only called in to order and most of the time no one is able to pick up. I can understand why they're so busy, the food is really good. read more

Food is authentic, the service is excellent and the ambiance is very peaceful. Awesome place for a brunch meeting.

I really enjoyed this little place. We thought it might be good from the line of people they had waiting. Not bad of a wait, we were seated, and my party of five had to wait just a little bit to get waited on, but judging from the crowd, it was no problem. Coffee is good and hot. The food was absolutely seasoned to perfection. One of the reasons we love coming to Louisiana is because they know how to season food and this place did not disappoint. I got the Cajun grits and they were superb. other people got the omelettes English muffins were delicious as well as the potatoes again they were seasoned beautifully. My husband got over easy, eggs, toast, and he was very pleased. We will be returning. read more

A must for breakfast in the Hammond area! This family restaurant makes you feel like you're at your grandma's house. Sink into one of their well-worn booths & enjoy a delicious meal. They're always happy to see you & take great care to make sure your experience is a good one. Their extensive options can be a little overwhelming, but we've never been disappointed with anything we've ordered. The specialty pancakes are a huge hit with the kids. The Latino influence rounds out the menu nicely. Everything is cooked and served with passion. read more

Slow service, but good food. Had the French toast combo. My egg was cooked to perfection. French toast was really good. Didn't even need syrup! read more

Stopped in here for breakfast. It was wonderful. I love flavorful foods that aren't too spicy. The Mexican breakfast was just that. Eggs cooked perfectly. Salsa and refried black beans perfectly seasoned. Bacon thick and slightly salty. Miguel, was polite and attentive. Coffee and water refilled without asking. If you're looking for food that sets your lips on fire, this is not the place. Come here for good food and good service read more

Ordered a dozen breakfast burritos for pick up. Very nice customer service. Each one was individually packaged with rice beans salsa and sour cream. I didn't expect that! Too kind! They were yummy! read more

Food was good. Can't say it was Great. Service was spotty. If you only have good food you should really be famous for your service. It took a minute or two to get coffee and had to ask for water with no straw. The ambience is great. Out of the way place. I would try again. Hopefully they read this and improve on service. read more

This is a great spot for breakfast. Service can be slow because of how busy the place can get but you will get great service. The food is also great. I have no complaints. A mist stop if you are in the area. read more

I had the Mexican breakfast and it was delicious. Server was friendly. Place was packed. Cash only when we went. My wife has the tortilla espanola and it also was great. Highly recommend. The atmosphere is your average quaint downtown hole in the wall, which is fine. read more

Yummy food, kind staff, quick service! We were just passing through town and it was the only thing open at 7AM on a Sunday. We have no regrets on the food! The cleanliness of the bathrooms could use some work. read more

I want to be good. I love to visit smaller places that are local. This had high hopes for breakfast before headed home. Over easy eggs were good as well as sausage and orange juice. Pancakes for me and my wife were both WELL done esp on one side so we had the tops a bit. Hash browns were just burnt. (They did remove that from the bill). Service was a bit off especially with only a few in the place. Seemed the family that ran it was more focused on family time near the kitchen. Wife said the women's room needed a little work to come up to par. It was New Years morning so maybe just hit an off day. read more

Stopped in on a recent Sunday, there were a few cars in the side parking lot and a few cars street side, the parking lot is very narrow so I chose the street side parking. As I walked into the restaurant I noticed we were the only real customers, it seemed, the back booth on the left side of the restaurant near the door to the kitchen seemed to be dedicated to the employees or family for hanging out. The service was friendly but extremely stand-offish, uninterested, and inattentive almost to the point that I just wanted to turn around and walk out like it never even happened. The restaurant seemed clean so we placed our breakfast order, I ordered coffee it was good and hot but little did I know it wasn't going to be an endless cup, I did manage to get it topped off once after I asked - the food well it was nothing memorable, we both agreed the food was flavorless and all of it had a similar aftertaste, my first thought when trying to identify it was pig lard although it has been decades since I experienced that rancid taste it was the only conclusion we could arrive at. This wasn't a repeatable experience by any means I struggle to see how this place earned the number of stars it has... read more

Yellow bird I so good! Their French toast and pancakes are killer. This place is normally very busy but the wait is never too long. Service is good, sometimes slow but considering how busy they tend to be is reasonable. The vibe is cute, it's very old time but this is my to go to breakfast/ bunch place in Hammond. read more

Came here today Pros - Food came out quick Cons drink machine needs to be cleaned lemonade didn't taste like lemonade nor did sprite. Asked for bottle water but had none Server never came to check on us to see if we were fine even though she walked right by table. Pancakes, hashbrowns, and French toast all made on the same platform without cleaning. Had pancakes and I could taste the French toast on them. Hashbrowns had a piece of pancake in them I'm guessing from cooking. Cooks don't wear gloves or have a sanitization area near them to wash hands. read more

I came in for a meeting from Miami to a Hammond and Found a place in Hammond where the cook is Cuban and staff Mexican. Service was on point friendly and attentive. I like my food hot and here everything including the coffee was warm, so recommend you eat fast! Pancakes were good and over place better than a franchise spot like Dennys. read more

This place needs the crew of restaurant impossible to come save them. It terrifies me that they are sitting at a 4 star review. Do people in this town believe this is what a 4 star restaurant is? Sad to say you could have a better experience at IHOP. The pancakes were inedible. The eggs were over cooked seeing as over medium means runny. But even the scrambled eggs were over cooked. The potato's weren't something that I'd serve at home to house guest. And this is a restaurant? The hollandaise sauce was absolutely horrid. Im not sure if it was spoiled or if that's just what they serve. It was separated and smelled like vomit. I ordered an English muffin and they didn't even bother to toast it. It was almost as if it had been microwaved. Also the coffee is practically water. We've driven from Texas to Florida and back again within this week. Eaten 1-2 meals out every day and this was the only bad experience. But boy was it, I guess the universe decided we needed balance. read more

Waited to be seated because the 2 ladies at the counter didn't acknowledge us, till they paid attention. Then they sat us at a table with dirty dishes, picked up the dishes never wiped the table . Waited to be acknowledged by server. I WAS READY TO WALK OUT BY NOW, my husband said let's give them a few more minutes . Once they took are order, food was brought out in a timely manner, it was not even warm, the hash browns were actually partially cold. Our server brought out our food while on her phone, never said a word to us .Never had anyone come to our table to see if we needed anything ( which we did ). Our server passed us several times , still on her phone . Workers going in and out kitchen so it's not like no one noticed us . Food was under average . Omelet was more like a scrabble egg pancake. Bacon was in crumbles, potatoes looked old and were cold ( Probably pre-made) . I had spinach & mushrooms with my breakfast , literally 3 small leaves and 1 sliced mushroom. Had to ask for our ticket , once we had it, lady took our card for payment while talking to another worker. Only words spoken was ,"Do you need your receipt '. I don't know how they were rated #1 in 2021. Wont be back . read more

Great location in the heart of downtown Hammond. Ample seating inside and seating outside in courtyard. Staff is friendly and tentative. Food came out quick and was good, nothing phenomenal, but it gets your belly full. Prices are reasonable and portions are a decent size. read more

"In North America, Belgian waffles are a variety of waffle with a lighter batter, larger squares, and deeper pockets than American waffles." this waffle was EVERYTHING BUT. This waffle was thin, cold and nasty!!!! Something in the batter is definitely not right.The worst waffle I've ever had.They didn't even give me any syrup with it..i am not about to choke to death on this dry waffle. I'm not even going to include everything else because it was all GROSS. Should've gotten waffle house. read more
