The Early Bird Eatery

"Party of 7 quickly accommodated with 3 children. The wait was worth it! Arugula salad with bacon topped peppercorn dressing. Spinach and feta omelette with sausage added. The loaded Home Fries everyone loved. Sausage and gravy - the pic doesn’t do it justice. Everyone planning a return visit. Sour dough Elder bread. Wow!"

"Came in and sat myself in the 21 over section. The mini wall didn't really cut off from anything and it was pretty noisy. I had a violet sky hot chocolate which was decent and the lemon blueberry pancakes. I was wanting pancakes for awhile now. It was a let down. Parts of my pancakes were cold or barely hot. They were fluffy though. The center had enough filler but other parts were dry. Nobody checked to see how I was doing or how I liked my order and then it took forever to get my check. I will not be coming back."

"I was in town for a family event and stopped by this delightful little brunch place with a family member. It was easy to find, the food was impeccable, and the service was top notch. Also - their sourdough bread is where it’s at! Cute option for drinks with brunch or non-alcoholic coffee and juices. It has a very earthy and friendly vibe throughout."

"Update on second visit: This place was just as good as when I first met it. There are some out-of-this-world meals being made in The Early Bird Eatery, and I enjoyed every bite! Food: 5/5 (wow!!) Service: 5/5 (wow!!) Atmosphere: 5/5 (wow!!) I have zero complaints about The Early Bird Eatery. What a beautiful restaurant in South Bend! This restaurant is inviting from the minute you walk in the door. You are greeted, seated, and given a menu and a pitcher of water; I have to say, I appreciated the pitcher of water at the table so I didn't have to bug the waiter as I love water. The decor of the restaurant is very attractive, which adds to the experience. The bathrooms are clean and so is the restaurant. The atmosphere is amazing! If this atmosphere is created in the morning, I can only imagine how it feels in the afternoon! I love the different personalities and styles of the staff and restaurant! The food is rich and to cry for. Awwwww! There are so many great flavors and beautiful presentations. What excited me was that The Early Bird Eatery got the small details right. The small details made the dish very delicious! I recommend anyone who can experience this restaurant to please go. All in all, The Early Bird Eatery is a favorite that I will cherish forever."

"I had been wanting to try this place for a while now. I finally got the chance. The food was amazing. The French toast was so decadent! But the coffees we had were to DIE for!! And they also have alcoholic coffee which I thought was super interesting. The only reason I have the food four stars was because the spicy sausage biscuit and gravy was a little much for me visually and taste wise. This dish was not for me that’s what I will say. Over all great experience and can’t wait to go back!"
