Birdy’s Behind the Bower

We arrived to this restaurant around 9am on a Sunday. Our waitress was great and super attentive. We took a quick photo in front of the birdy's sign and the waitress was so nice about it and actually took a really great photo.

I ordered the fried chicken biscuit and it was excellent. So tasty and well seasoned. The biscuit part of the sandwich was like mini biscuits split in half, so don't expect to be able to pick your chicken biscuit up to take a bite out of it. The gravy on the chicken biscuit was also excellent.

The staff at Birdy's were very accommodating for my friend's birthday brunch. We were seated outdoors due to having a large party. There were a few fans hanging over us.

We received our food pretty fast. The food was just okay. I ordered the "Classic Breakfast" and ate some of my friend's fruit bowl. The fruit bowl consisted of bananas, blueberries, and strawberries. Unfortunately, the bananas were soft and mushy. Once we received our food the service became a bit slow.

Please note that the bill can be split even up to six ways for large parties.

Overall, the restaurant is nice aesthetically but the food is bland. I've dined at Birdy's in 2021 and I didn't taste much of a difference in flavor. I do wish that smoothies were available as they were during my first visit because it was an extremely hot day.

My boyfriend and I went here for a casual brunch without a reservation, so we were prepared to wait. We asked for a table outside and the host said yes, but it would take 20 minutes which we were fine with. After waiting the 20 minutes, the host walked us to a table inside without acknowledging our outside request till my boyfriend asked about it which was weird but whatever, we took the inside table anyway....I ordered the honey rose latte (which was actually really good) and we put in our order for two traditional breakfasts right away. We then waited for approximately 40 minutes with no food and no table touches from our server. My boyfriend and I both used to be servers, so all it takes is some Acknowledgment like "hey the kitchen's a little backed up right now" or "can I get you some more coffee while you wait" ANYTHING! It's almost like our server was avoiding us. Also it was not extremely busy, and we saw a table that came in after us get their food while we were still waiting.

When we called the person that looked like the manager over to our table to pay for our coffees so we could go, we were met with no apologies, no explanations or even a simple acknowledgment of the fact that we just waited 40 minutes for some scrambled eggs and bacon. Just a simple "oh he was about to put the food out".....yea we left with empty stomachs, took our service elsewhere and will not be returning.

The best thing this place has going for it is the ambiance, but I've personally had the food before and it's not anything special, you can make better brunch at home. If you want a great brunch experience with GOOD SERVICE and good food to match I would highly recommend Atchafalaya on Louisiana Ave.

Love birdys for brunch. Both of the times that I've been here I loved it. If you're going to go please make a reservation so that you're not disappointed. One of the times we got the brunch board. If you're with a group of about 4 people I highly recommend ! It consisted of bacon, proscuitto, waffle, mini donuts, mini pancakes, fruit, seasonal jam, granola with nuts, cookies, triple crème brie, soft boiled eggs.
Another time we got the biscuit board. It was about 6 of us and we had a biscuit left to spare. It was very good just not enough biscuits for me. The whipped butter, and country gravy were sooo good tho! It might be worth it. I also ended up getting the goat cheese toast! It had fig, arugula and honey! Don't sleep on this! Also came with a side of tots . Eeeh I suggest you get another side. You also have the option to do bottomless mimosas and they do keep them coming! Love this spot. I will say in the summer months sitting outside might not be such a great idea.

Went for a girls lunch today. We each got a drink. Got the passion fruit punch and it was a little sweeter than I expected but very good. One of the girls got the Cobb salad, one got the whipped goat cheese toast, and I got the brunch board. Everything was good but over priced for portion size. All in all will go again and do recommend.

Visiting New Orleans be aware they are super busy so make sure you aren't hungry when you arrive. Food was good, ambience was nice, service was on point. They have covered outdoor seating if case you want to seat out in the New Orleans heat. In my opinion the latte were too sweet, but someone else might find it delicious. Can't go wrong with bottomless mimosas at brunch.

Blown away by Birdy's! Every bit of everything was bursting with flavor. The salmon toast was perfection with the pickled onion and crisped capers. The side salad it comes with may look basic but wow, I actually finished that first? I also got the biscuit with jam and it may be my best biscuit to date. Paired it all with the Lavender oat Matcha and caught myself thinking of ordering another after finishing the first. Vibey little spot with inside and outside seating. Brunch was popping but not line out the door wait. 10/10!

I saw Birdy's all over social media, and had to try it.
I was very disappointed and would not return as an out of town guest. The neighborhood is off the beaten path, not much else around it.
So overpriced!! My crawfish melt was $23. It was tasty but not mind blowing. The latte was good.
Overall, out of the way and not spectacular food.
Maybe more for locals.

Birdies is a cute little cafe type restaurant with a pretty and bright space, perfect for a brunch date with friends.

I went on a brunch date and it was a little busy that day so things were moving a little slow. However, I ordered a matcha latte and the Huevos Rancheros and it did not disappoint, especially because I was slightly hungover from partying all the previous night. (Mardi Gras) my date got the brunch board. It was also yummy, I needed the carbs.

I would definitely go again!

We did brunch here for Mother's Day and it was amazing. The service was a little slow but it was a holiday so that was to be expected. We dined outside because we had a party of 5 so thats where our seats were but the weather was beautiful so it made it even better. I did get a peek inside and it was really pretty so I can't wait to go back. The food was amazing, get the brunch board...it was really good. There was a brunch menu but the options were limited. Not pictured is the Birdy's Burger, which was supposed to be smashed but it wasn't, kids chicken tenders and kids breakfast combo. We will definitely be back. Try this place if you're in the area.
