Early Bird Restaurant - Midtown

Jason Robb

Tucked away off Pecos and 67th in the Midtown neighborhood is The Early Bird Restaurant. A hidden gem that I'm not sure enough people know about! We went in at 8am on Saturday morning and it was completely empty! The restaurant has a cool high class coffee shop vibe with high top tables, bar seating and cool, hip decor! The menu is filled with classic items that all homemade and cooked to order! We got the chicken fried chicken and eggs and the Biscuit and gravy with a waffle. The chicken fried chicken came with a large batter fried chicken brest that was crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle. The batter was well seasoned and the cook was perfect! It's covered in a sausage gravy that is hot and flavorful! The EB crispy potatoes that come on the side are also made very well! Big chunks of potatoes that are well seasoned, crispy with fluffy pillowy insides! The over-easy eggs were done exceptionally! Hot runny yolks and firm cooked whites. Just the way they're supposed to be. Each meal comes with a serving of Arugala, roasted tomatoes and a fried shishito pepper. A nice little burst of color and freshness to the plate. The biscuit and gravy was also very good. My dad said it was one of the best he had ever had!! The GIANT homemade biscuit was buttery and fluffy! It came with a giant serving of potatoes and large portion of gravy filled with chunks of sausage and bacon! The waffle was perfect as well! A crisp sweet crust with a soft airy inside. Sprinkled with powdered sugar and finished nicely with butter and warm maple syrup! The staff was always checking on us and made sure to keep our coffee and waters topped off the whole time! All in all this place is amazing and needs to be shown love!! GO! TRY IT OUT!

We loved our experience here. Thanks to Zindy for an awesome first experience. Awesome service. They have an outside area for warmer days, a small bar area that is cool, some nice merchandise, and fun dance music in the background. I was between the La Jefa and Landmark and got the La Jefa. Unique and delicious. Waffles, corn, egg, etc. I decided to not do the maple syrup and chose their house made hot sauce and Hollandaise instead. Liked my choice, but I am sure the syrup would have been legit too. Wife had an Orange Julius drink that was tasty and I had a Session draft. They have a happy hour where everything is $5 on alcoholic drinks that is worth checking out. It is in the passbook and that is why we checked it out. We will be back, and I will make sure to get the delicious looking Landmark omelette. They get a 4 in my book for one reason. Every single drink was the same price at $9.75. No separation. My Session was $8, which is about $3 above market price. Otherwise, I highly recommend, and see you there!

I refuse to learn how to cook Eggs Beni because it's my treat meal... And it's the absolute best here! The Veggi Beni is phenomenal. I'm in from salt lake and googled Eggs Benedict and ended up here. I'm so happy about it! Thank you for the delicious food and wonderful service. 🤍

My husband is gluten-free and I am dairy intolerant. They had gluten-free chicken and waffles. I can't express the joy that he had because to find a restaurant that serves GF food is difficult. He said that is was delicious! I was quite satisfied with my breakfast because they didn't use butter in my meal. We will be returning.
