I am obsessed with this place! Asha was my server and she was so sweet and accommodating. She gave me great recommendations on my food and everything I had was delicious! Ella was the bartender on and she was incredibly nice as well! It didn't hurt that she made an absolutely amazing drink either! read more

Birdies - It's always sunny spritz - Salad Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Fairly new to Burnaby, Birdies Eats & Drinks is owned by the Earls Restaurant Group; they serve a mix of foods for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. While they are owned by Earls, their restaurant concept is entirely separate from Earls. With their spacious dining room and 75 seat patio, they claim to be a Californian inspired restaurant with a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Featured here: Baja Calamari The Marg (pizza) Pollo Loco Saffron Spaghettini Kick'n Fried Chicken Sandwich It was incredibly noisy inside this restaurant. There was definitely a lot of energy in the air. A good place to come to if boisterous crowds of people is what you enjoy. Personally, I didn't find this place to be at all relaxing. I felt more relaxed once we left the restaurant and went to a quieter place where I could clearly hear what people were saying to me. The Calamari was tasty although we weren't too crazy about the raw sugar snap peas that came with it. I personally enjoyed the avocados and tomatoes, but just didn't care for the snap peas. The Marg pizza was decent. My daughter and I shared this pizza. We were happy enough with it; however, it wasn't anything worth raving about. A crispier crust would be an improvement on it. The Kick'n Fried Chicken Sandwich was an impressive sight to behold. The chicken was stacked incredibly high and the pieces of chicken were really thick too. My husband bit into the chicken though and much to his dismay, discovered that those thick pieces of chicken came with a price. The chicken was not properly cooked and was actually a bit raw still in the centre. We told our waiter and the kitchen sent a replacement sandwich. This time, the pieces of chicken were thinner but properly cooked through. The manager came and apologized to us; when we received our bill, we noticed that they had removed the Chicken Sandwich from our bill. We were happy with how they handled the situation with the raw undercooked chicken; however, our friends said that they had ordered a couple of drinks but had never received their drinks. It seems like they could improve upon their service somewhat. I'm a strong believer in second chances so I might still come back here again sometime, but only if it's a patio table as the dining room was far too loud for my taste. Service: Could have been better Parking: Plentiful and free Location: 3850 Lougheed Hwy., Burnaby read more

Went to try this Sunday for brunch as wifey had heard about them opening. We were promptly greeted and asked for our name and phone number I'm assuming to track patron #'s as there currently was no wait and we were seated right after giving that info. I then got a text from the establishment saying I've been added to the (non existent) wait list. Our server (Janna) came and was pleasant and very helpful, she took our beverage request. Wife coffee with milk and myself coffee with cream. She made sure the milk choice was ok and asked if 2%was fine. We said that was ok. She had also filled our water glasses at the same time as well. We had already looked at the menu and were ready to order by the time our drinks came. Wife ordered the brioche French toast and I got the birdies burger, sunnied up(add fried egg) and chose yam fries from the option of reg, yam or salad. The burger was good, maybe slightly overseasoned for my taste but good. Was very juicy. The yam fries and Chipotle mayo were typical but delicious. I didn't try wife's French toast but she said it was ok so I take it was your standard not blow your mind but decent variety. Wifey was going to get a dessert but due to her already getting a sweet item she wasn't feeling it. Our server suggested getting appy instead but wifey was concerned about the serving size being too large. With a smile or server said she could get one lettuce wrap instead of the full 5 of them they could do that for us so wifey didn't have to have a full order. We were surprised and grateful so we said yes. Well wifey said yes I was full. Wifey said the chicken lettuce wrap was quite good, moist chicken flavourful accompaniments. Overall very pleasant visit and very attentive and helpful friendly staff! read more

We really wanted to love this place as restaurant is beautiful and it has a nice patio. It is a good place for groups since their space is big enough to accommodate a large amount of people. We went there for brunch and ordered the avocado toast with poach eggs and the Hippy Hash with poached eggs as well. 3 of 4 eggs were too hard so we ask if they could redo them. They kindly did but the ones we got were still hard. It was also on the expensive side for the amount of food you get. read more

Feels like Palm Springs in here! The music was a little too loud but the place was bumpin on a Sunday morning. Surprisingly lots of people at 10am already. The mimosas was a nice treat for my friends bday! Great place to catch up with the girlies. The waiter was super nice. The tables are not too close to each other so you can talk and laugh out loud. lol read more

Birdies - Brunch! - Salad Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

we made resos through open table for sunday, 5:30 pm , for a party of eight for happy hour. apparently birdies is a part of earls and has taken over earl's location on 3850 lougheed hwy in burnaby, while earls moved to the amazing brentwood. birdies is a laid back, casual california style themed restaurant serving burgers, nachos, pizzas, bowls, and cocktails. the interior is spacious with bistro style and standard seating, they also sell goods to go at their provisions store, and have a pick up window on the outside. we ordered a few items from their happy hour menu and some from the regular menu. i am impressed that our server, bukhosi, was patient with our indecisive group, knowledgeable about vegan options, and accommodating. two people in our group mentioned they were sharing the fish and chips, and he separated the entree in to two plates, which was thoughtful and appreciative. another person in our party ordered three hazy pale ales during happy hour and he staggered bringing them out, to keep them cold. i liked that they also had a few milk bottles of water at our table. the restaurant buzzed with activity, yet it managed to maintain a comfortable noise level. this created a relaxed ambiance where conversation flowed effortlessly, contributing to the overall chill vibe of the place. i enjoyed the birdies mule (vodka, ginger, lime, soda), it was ice cold, refreshing, and creatively served in a soup can container with a bamboo like straw. we shared the signature fries, calamari, and salt & pepper birdies wings, to start and ordered the following: impossible burger and fries poke bowl 6 oz steak and fries with a west coast salad chips and salsa big wok chicken bowl (but without the chicken, plus 8 pieces of tofu for vegan diner, additional $4) 2 pieces of fish & chips birdies burger and fries the service was commendable, but unfortunately, the happy hour offerings fell short and the food was just okay, nothing stood out. read more

The menu was a delightful surprise, offering a variety of fresh, flavor-driven dishes that promised a culinary adventure. I opted for their french toast, scrambled eggs, hashbrowns (YUMMY) and it was a decision I didn't regret. The flavors were bold and satisfying, leaving a lasting impression that had me planning my next visit before the meal was even over. Their service was friendly and ambiance was chic! I will be back here with my mother and sister one day! read more

Solid selections for brunch and dinner. Eat in the dining area and feel transported to 1980s LA.

I took my friend to Birdies for her birthday, the meal was fantastic, and we had the 50% off on bottles of wine. Georgia was a terrific in helping our server. She was pleasant and friendly and knew the menu and offered suggestions. Will be back soon, and hopefully Georgia will be around to assist . Thanks, Roberta read more

Attractive atmosphere, attentive service. But the food was uninspiring. My Poké bowl was skimpy and had no sauce , sriracha or otherwise. My son ordered the breakfast sandwich which he was not thrilled with. A disappointment overall. read more

If you try one thing here, it has to be the forager pizza - and this is coming from a mushroom hater. Also fell in love with the decor here...loved the color combination and the retro vibe! read more

First impressions: My friends and I came by birdies for dinner. We found that they had really done up the place really nicely compared to how it used to be (when it was earls). It is definitely brighter looking. We really loved the Cali-vibe it's giving off on the interior. We had a good experience with the staff as well. Very friendly and great with providing some suggestions since this was our first time at the restaurant. As for food, I had the big wok (added tofu) for my meal, liquid sunshine slushie for my drink, and orange creamsicle soft serve for my dessert. The portion for the meal: I was actually really surprised it was a really big and filling portion. I ended up packing half my meal to take home but I do have to say I really loved it and enjoyed it. The drink was super cute. It wasn't overly strong with alcohol which I liked for sure... I'm more of a sweet person so this worked out. A place I'd be back at again for sure. The only thing was that we went on a very hot day and we weren't sure if the AC was working in the restaurant coz it was cool (but not cool enough)... this is just something minor but overall good experience. read more

This was my second time visiting Birdies. I had really enjoyed the happy hour menu in my first visit and I was looking forward to going back. While the overall visit was good, it did lack in the same attentive service that we had received on the first trip. Almost every one of our interactions was with a different person and it really gave a vibe of disinterest in us as customers. We had about three interactions with our server and all were very stilted and awkward. Our appies were good and so was the key lime bar, but I chose the Thai Noodle Salad for my main and it was uninspired at best. My friend had fish and chips and felt largely the same way. Overall, I still enjoyed visiting Birdies. It's got a unique and comfortable ambiance, but my friend and I both agreed that we would stick to the appies or happy hour menu next time. read more

I've been to birdies off and on over the past year and while I love the decor and esthetic it seems to have hit a lull lately. Service staff are young and pretty but inexperienced and lack the polish of other restaurants in this category of casual dining. My most recent visit was with family and it took the host longer than usual to select a seat for us in a 30% full restaurant before 6pm. When we were seated, for some reason she decided to collect an excess setting by reaching across the table, leaving her long hair to dangle into two other dishes and settings - gross. Food was passable but not anything special or great value. It'll take a lot and a menu revamp for us to return. We much preferred Tap and Barrel at Brentwood for another meal that week! read more

Great place to catch up with friends! It has beautiful outdoor seating that's perfect for the summertime. The drinks were good and I really enjoyed the key lime bar, which was recommended by our wonderful server Arthur! The food unfortunately was mediocre and pricey. I ordered the saffron spaghettini and it tasted quite bland, which I later read on almost every review... Great atmosphere and service, but the food needs a bit more touch-up considering the cost. read more

This place is eclectic and trendy. They offer a nice variety of international dishes so it's easy to please a group with different tastes. The prices are a bit steep for what you get, but if you're looking to show off to friends, Birdies seems to be all about presentation. Starting with the positive, the pizza (El Cartel) had good flavour and chewy crust. But the "spicy" cauliflower wings were not spicy (served with a basic sweet chili sauce that's all sweet, no chill). And why call them wings? Cauliflower florets are not chicken wing substitutes. The guac was almost perfect with the fresh-fried chips being the best part. But the guac itself was overly tangy... If you're into lime juice, then go for it! Was disappointed in the bird bath Margarita. If there was alcohol in there, I couldn't tell. And we made a point of drinking it before all the ice melted. Nice presentation though. The desserts are a generous size. The key lime bar was the better of the choices. Since this place is new, the staff was trying extra hard... To the point that at least 3 different people checked in on us. Several times.. It was an excessive amount of interruptions. Growing pains I guess. read more

Came in for happy hour with friends - service was very minimal and our pizzas were either burnt on the bottom or very dry. The vibe was good but just not somewhere I would like to eat at again read more

I dined in with my girlfriend at Birdies yesterday at 6 pm and it did not disappoint! As we walked in we definitely got the "LA vibe" with the interior. We went all out and ordered the Unholy Guacamole, the Oh So Sticky Korean Ribs, The Marg (Margherita) and the Salsa Verde Steak. The unholy guacamole added in with feta+corn was delicious, and the korean ribs were fall-off the bone juicy. They were so succulent and tender, and the steak we ordered was cooked to perfection (rare). It came with scalloped potatoes which were folded and boxed neatly. What topped off our great experience was the service received by Danica, who was very charming and enthusiastic! Will return soon. read more

New bar/brunch spot that replaced where earls used to be along Lougheed Highway. The interior of the restaurant was bright and inviting as were the staff that welcomed us in. I tried the brioche french toast which was absolutely decadent and delicious of a brunch item. I liked how it came with fruit and the sauce it came with? Heavenly read more

It is just ok. And sometimes that is good enough. I came here for a quick happy hour with my friend to catch up on random stuff and talk about our lives. I like the food options and the drinks that they offered. On top of that, the vibe of the restaurant was just cute. I still think that they should have just gone for the more West Coast boho style of California. Loved the service of the venue though, as the waitress was extremely friendly and lovely to talk to. And they kept filling our water glasses. Anyways, they had a cute happy hour menu. My friend and I just decided to get the Birds Nest is what they called it. It is a margarita pitcher put into a "fancy" type of jug. It seems a little bit overrated, but I get it, as it gives you the amazing photo opportunities. For food, we ordered a pizza and a plate of calamari. I did enjoy the quality of the food, but the food felt a little tad expensive even for a happy hour. It was just a typical pizza and calamari, I really wasn't expecting tasting menu pricing for the end of the night. Regardless, it was a cute little restaurant, and that Earls is trying something new and trying to create a new brand. I would try them again in the future if they came out with a better menu that was a lot more fun and had a more variety of better food. read more

Birdies eats and drinks recently opened up on Lougheed highway close to boundary and took over the earls restaurant (which has since moved over to the amazing Brentwood) They have kept the bones of the old earls restaurant (also kept their loud music sound system too, it's quite hard to hear and talk with your dining partners over the loud music) but they have definitely given the restaurant a new makeover and have really created a Californian-inspired vibe to it. We had made reservations at 1:30 and their brunch hours are from 10am-2pm. We made our brunch order at around 1:45 but somehow our food never came. We waited and did some catch up as it was my friend's birthday celebration. Eventually our waitress came to check up on us again and thought we had already might have gotten our food by about 2:30 or even later (an hour later) it was realized then that our food never came and brunch time is over. We had to get items from their regular menu. Our order did go through but the miscommunication and busy kitchen had forgotten our order! The bright side was that the manager was so generous to give us the meal on the house. We did wait for a long time for our food so the least they could do, they were very kind to apologize and made up for it. We had a good time catching up and having our drinks to start with and luckily we didn't have any place to be so we could wait longer for our food. Everything worked out nicely in the end and I'm glad we had a good experience and more time to hang and dine. The drinks we got were the liquid sunshine slushie which was very frozen and very tall glass and refreshing. It was a hot day and dining inside seemed better than eating outside where it was heated with sun shine. For our starter we got baja calamari, which had lots of greens, avocado and such.. it was like a salad very tasty as it was colorful with lots of variety. The pasta saffron spaghettini I was recommended to us by our server and that dish was so good. Really my favourite pasta dish as the shrimp were big and tasted fresh and the noodles were cooked perfectly. For a main we got salsa verde steak cooked medium, that is super filling, it's a big piece. We also got a pizza and the forager was recommended to us, the mushrooms on the pizza was so good! The first bites were delicious but it did get greasy. Lastly dessert we ended with a soft serve twist of tropical orange and vanilla, it was so good to cool us down after our big meal. read more

Californian restaurant? More of Miami vibe. Went for happy hour and we shared bunch of items. The drinks were great, Korean ribs were the best! Other dishes were average such as yuzu wings didn't have much yuzu, calamari, cauliflower, lettuce wraps, birria tacos not worth it but I'll go back to try some other items. I know it's for presentation but lots of empty spaces in plate lol as they only fill 1/2 a plate but still not bad portions. Value 4/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Service 3/5 Quality 3/5 15/20 read more

best place. very friendly service. Delicious food and drinks. great ambiance! Would recommend!

This was our first visit and we will return. The service was welcoming and relaxed but efficient. We appreciated that our server made sure we didn't miss the Happy Hour cut-off to order drinks and starters. We shared the Thai Cauliflower Bites, Yuzu Wings and Crispy Chicken Lettuce Wraps. All were very tasty. The sweet chili sauce for the cauliflower was on the side, and the bites were equally enjoyable with or without the sauce. The wings looked overdone but it's just the black pepper and Yuzu coating; the wings were tender and delicious. The lettuce wraps were refreshing, and basically a taco without the tortilla. We each had a main (ultimately it was too much food - yay for take-away boxes). The staff were helpful to accommodate concerns about spice levels. We had the Pollo Loco (with plain rice), West Coast Chicken Salad, and the Southwest Chicken Bowl. Overall the dessert menu didn't appeal to us, and they were out of the feature soft-serve, but we were too full anyway! The restaurant is light and airy with a good mix of booth and free standing tables. It's casual and appears to be family friendly too. Although they don't have a specific kids menu they are reasonably open to adapting things to suit. The ample and free parking is very much appreciated. Prices were as expected or better than similarly styled restaurants. We didn't experience a WOW that would earn 5 stars but it's a strong 4 and we all agreed it was a great spot for friends or family to gather for a good meal. read more

I like their happy hour deals, and the restaurant has a terrific decor and vibe thing going on.

Food wasn't the best. Two if us had the Saffron Pasta and the sauce was so thin it left 2 inches of watery sauce in the bowl. Impossible burger was very salty. After our plates were cleared, we were abandoned for over 20 minutes. Server didn't even come near our table. Had to flag down another server. read more

Would definitely recommend coming and trying it out! Came here on opening day.. parking was a pain, it was so busy especially during happy hour. Me and my gf got the strawberry bird bath margarita, it was really tasty! We also got the shot tequila with the verdita chaser on the happy hour menu, it was good! U don't even really taste think about it, but the green chaser had a little kick to it which I personally enjoyed. Our server krew was amazing, our service was amazing!! & one of the best I've had. The ambiance was very nice and open inside. Although it was busy, it had a nice vibe to it definitely! I will be back to try more of course read more

My boyfriend used to always take me to Birdies last year when we first started dating. In Sept 2024, he had a major health event and spent six months in hospital. He is just beginning to be able to go out again and today was our very first time going back to Birdies. Well, it was our very first time going out to a restaurant since his injury! It couldn't have been better. I was concerned about accessibility and called ahead and was told it was 100% accessible, so that was great. Oddly, the only handicapped parking spot was quite far away from the entrance though but we just parked as close as we could get, which was fine. Our waiter Hasaini, was not only excellent at his job (and I am quite discerning because I served in fine dining in Vancouver for years), he went above and beyond the call of duty for us. He was attentive but unobtrusive, there when we needed him, did amazing table maintenance (something that is sorely lacking these days), made wonderful recommendations that we loved, brought us some tiramisu on the house and, to top it all off, he followed my boyfriend to the accessible washroom to make sure he got there safely. Wow!! I can't imagine how our first time going back out could have been better! It was amazing. This young man deserves all good things in life - he is kind and incredible. We will be back - again and again! Oh, and we love the room - the decor, the ambience, the whole thing. You guys rock! read more

Great vibe. Service was good and food was fun. Great choice of Margaritas on the menu.

I haven't dined in so this is based on strictly takeout, but this place is so good, every time I've ordered from here it's been . so much flavour and the food's always cooked perfectly. plus they have some of the best chicken wings around and I've tried A LOT. would recommend this to anyone, one of my favs for sure read more

Nice ambience, friendly staff. The happy hour menu is the best way to sample their goods to see if food etc. is to your standards. The food is Earl's standards, nothing spectacular, just fun decent food. The store items appears to be the same price as their regular menu items, which defeats purpose why you would buy frozen food to bring home when you can eat it fresh in restaurant or simply just order take out. However, it appears that the staff may need a bit more training. Saw one of the greeters from front desk hugged some water glasses in her armpit to set up another table while I was dining-- not something I'd like to see in any food establishments, especially during a warm day, if you know what I mean. Server forgot my drink orders until we reminded her. read more

Good food and service. Nice decor. Would go again if we lived in Vancouver. Delicious Poke, wings and fries.

Great patio. Amazing service and happy hour prices I would recommend patio. Inside is a bit loud but service is above par
