As an annual parishioners, I've eaten here before and I love it! Earlier today, I had lunch at Azure. It consisted of their oh-so delicious ahi tuna salad. The greens and tuna practically occupied the whole plate, which was accompanied by a separate bowl of salad dressing and a pack of crackers. I enjoyed the salad so much that I nearly forgot about the crackers. There's no doubt if I ever drop by again around noon or after, I'll order it again. I want to mention that I had breakfast here before, too. I highly recommend the barbacoa, which tastes like it was grilled the way vaqueros (cowboys) in South Texas do theirs. You'll be fed generously of the meat, I promise you.

The food is always delicious, and was one of my go-to spots when I want to introduce friends to something a little different. I especially loved dining on the patio when I bring my dog along. The atmosphere is welcoming, relaxing, and perfect for enjoying a meal outdoors. What kept me coming back, though, is the staff. They are incredibly kind and always make me feel welcome. It's such a nice feeling to be greeted warmly and recognized as a returning guest. I've even celebrated my birthday here, which says a lot about how much I enjoy this place. As a bonus, there's a vintage thrift shop upstairs that I always love browsing before or after my meal. It adds even more charm to the experience and makes every visit feel a little special. I highly recommend the pasta, it's absolutely delicious! If you're looking for a charming local spot with great food, friendly service, and a unique atmosphere, Birdie Bistro is definitely worth a visit.

I had the Birdie Burger which was delicious along with sweet potato fries. We ate outside since we had our little pug with us. They were very kind and gave her some water in this very warm day.

They treat you like you're the 'favorite neighbor'. Right away they bring you out a 'biscuit with gravy' just for you to try. What a smart concept! The menu is both breakfast and lunch/dinner and it offers many options to choose from but not too many and several are your American favorites but also southern style flair. I had a meal that was big enough for a king but I wanted it because it offered a taste of everything I want when I'm eating breakfast. 3 eggs, ham steak, sausage patty, bacon, hash browns, and a side of their fabulous pancakes and they come in your choice of flavor and I got the pecan. Honestly, besides the food being remarkable, and the service on point, the restaurant has a 'homey' feel to it and there are pics of the owners family all throughout. The last thing I'll say is, the owner comes through the restaurant and visits with everyone. Just a dear person and her goal was to make sure our experience and food was exactly what we wanted. And it was!! So, Bravo!! Keep doing what you're doing because it made us come back again and again!! Each time the same remarkable experience!!

My husband and I ran into this place when we were visiting McAllen; it reminded us of local Houstonian places of the same caliber. The chilaquiles I had were one of the best I've had in Texas; and the mimosas were too, it wasn't bogged down with fake additives, this place added freshly- squeezed fruit juice (who even does that anymore?). Our server was soooooo patient and sweet as we navigated through the menu, wanting to try every piece of heaven from this place. We loved that the kitchen was "open-concept" and we could see the chefs LIVE & UPFRONT--but the place is small, so be ready to wait, but SO WORTH IT! Traveling to McAllen soon just for this place
