The place is cute, and the coffee is good. That's it for positives. Ordered a ham and cheese omelette with hash browns, biscuits, and gravy. Omelette was ehhh. Rubbery eggs. Hash browns were ok. The biscuits were dense and tasteless. The gravy was ORANGE and tasted like it had seafood stock in it or something. It was terrible. read more

Birdie's - "Sausage" gravy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

This diner is fancy! I was driving through the area and needed a quick stop for weekday lunch. Ordered ahead on the Toast app: Turkey Avocado Panini (no bacon) with a side of fruit. Food ready quickly and waiting for me right at the front door. Tasted great, fresh, hot, filling but not heavy. Just right for lunch. I ended up taking the food to the nearby picnic tables at Central Park Plaza but wished I had just stayed to eat. The interior looked really nice, modern, welcoming. Crowd seemed to be local office workers on their breaks. Good buzz in the room. If I find myself in the area again, I'll almost certainly be back for the full dining experience. read more

Food is delicious. And the service has been great. Some great vegan/vegetarian options along with other great selections. Would recommend it to anyone who have never tried this place read more

We had 4 for lunch, with some having breakfast. It was a mixed reaction. My beet salad was good - and I will have that again. The biscuits and gravy were said to be very disappointing, too dense. The eggs were done perfectly and the bacon was crispy as desired. Finding vegan options is a struggle here. Interesting decor, think 50s diner in upscale beige. Minimal interaction from staff. read more

First time at Birdie's and certainly won't be our last! Very tasty food, and a large portion. Place is really cool on the inside. No wait on a Sunday morning which is rare for breakfast spots around here. But pricey as most of the Valpo downtown spots, but will definitely be returning. read more

I enjoyed my visit to Birdie's! The diner is BEAUTIFUL and sparkling clean! I loved my short rib sandwich, fries, and root beer. The area is so cute and the staff are super kind! Highly recommend! read more

We visited for the first time today (Father's Day) and was not disappointed! Shared the Gorgonzola Chips, meat loaf and Shrimp Grits. Everything was excellent! I believe our servers name was Joel and he was attentive and took such good care of us. We'll be back! read more

Wow. What a gem. The service was incredible. I was greeted by several staff members when I walked in. Both the host and waitress were friendly and attentive. (The guest I was meeting for breakfast ran 30 minutes late, but they continued to check on me and chat each time they walked by while I was waiting.) The waitress recommended the avocado toast and it was beyond what I expected, with goat cheese, micro greens, and a balsamic glaze. It even came with two eggs to order (the perfect "medium," which is rare to find) and a side of hashbrowns. (I typically skipped the hashbrowns, but I couldn't stop eating these.) The coffee was on point. (I drink my coffee, black, so it has to be good.) And if the service and food weren't enough, the restaurant itself is gorgeous - so much attention to detail, clean, and plenty of dining space. I can't wait to come back at night and checkout Birdies Nextdoor for cocktails! read more

Came here with my parents for breakfast. The place has a very cool retro feel and the waitress was very nice. Plus, the food comes out quick, has big portions, and is reasonably priced. I got the mini French toast, which came with two slices of bacon. Strawberries and whipped cream were on top of the toast. I had orange juice to drink. Overall, we had a great experience. Will be back soon! read more

French toast and other baked good are great. The eggs though always seem overdone. I've had them many different ways including an omelet and they are always dry. The vibe of the restaurant is great. Very modern looking but warm and cozy at the same time. Service is hit or miss. The bus staff seem to be young teenagers who don't understand how to hustle and carry more than one or two things at a time. For a busy breakfast run on a Sunday this isn't good. The wait staff is good but if it's busy- expect a long wait. They seem to be setup to fail. I never see a manger or any host on the floor helping out if it's busy. And good luck relying on help from those slow busers. At other breakfast places you often see someone just refilling water or coffee. Getting someone something they forgot to ask for or extra napkins- not here. Additionally the bar area doesn't seem to be setup for efficiency. The iced tea isn't behind the bar nor is the soda machine. They seem to have to run to multiple different places sometimes for just one tables order. read more

Family recommended and Birdies did not disappoint. Everything was delicious and service was amazing! Looking forward to coming back to try more items. read more

Really great food and excellent service. The waitress Priscilla is very friendly and knowledgeable. I had the biscuits and gravy and they were excellent. The ambiance is very sleek and the design of the inside looks really modern, though I wish they still had the mountain lion like the old Tony's had. read more

Cute little diner is downtown Valpo. Kind of hard to find with all the construction going on but I'm sure that'll clear up and one can park and walk and enjoy the area. Service was prompt and friendly. Quiet noise level, but I was there for breakfast and no rush, mid week. read more

Birdie's - Super cute - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

Nice atmosphere. It's a breakfast diner linked to an up scale dinner restaurant. Nice music and decor in both, which are open at different hours. Prices are on par with other offerings in Valparaiso. Diner coffee is good. Dinner part serves good drinks. Very good service. Replaces an old pizza/Italian restaurant that had a god-awful stuffed animal display, ugh! read more

I love the diner decor and music. Food was good and they have interesting options. I had breakfast but will try lunch next time.

Sadly, the best part of the meal was the salad. Both our meals were, at best, so-so. Portions were small, I got 6 asparagus stalks ( parts of which were "woody" ), a very small piece of salmon which was over cooked, and a few way over cooked potato wedges with little to no taste. The potato wedges were listed as Greek potatoes. I have had some really good Greek potatoes but theses did not even approach Greek potatoes. I ordered an iced tea, and after drinking it I had expected the glass to be refilled, but it was not. My wife had a "glass" of wine, but the wine was less then a third of the small wine glass. Eleven dollars for about 2 or 3 ounces of wine, and my wife said it was not even a decent wine! My wife did not even eat all her dinner because it was so bad. My advice, do not bother to eat at this restaurant. read more

We went here for lunch the other day and it was so good!! I had the portobello sandwich with truffle fries-I loved it!! I also had the Grapefruit Martini, it was really nice. Nextdoor at Birdie's is delish too! Sooo good!! read more

I just love an old diner and it definitely has that vintage diner feel. We've been twice so far. First time we sat at the counter and the second a booth. Great service both times. It has classic diner food but also some specials. I had to get the swedish pancakes, which are basically crepes but they had lingonberry, which you can't find anywhere besides IKEA. Excellent. read more

Great restaurant in downtown Valpo. The breakfast is very good (I love the stuffed French toast!) and the items they carried over from The Dish are still great. read more

Great food! Amazing dishes! I can't say enough about the quality of what we got. Crab cakes, biscuits and gravy, just wow! Ambiance was awesome. Love the decor, I can't wait to go back. Unfortunately the server was overworked and they were understaffed, so service was slow. Server actually just asked " are you good with just waters"?? Um..no. Folks they serve alcohol! No upselling for her! She seemed very disappointed when we ordered drinks. And the biscuits and gravy were cold. Like really cold. When she brought out fresh....they were lukewarm. I ate them anyway because the flavor was outrageously awesome. If this place gets dialed in they will be busy 24-7 read more

This is now my new go to breakfast place. I love Le peep as well, but I do not like standing and waiting forever to get a seat. The staff is amazing and are on top of everything you need. It is right downtown Valpo so it is adorable and situated right next to BW3's. The inside is all brand new as it used to be Tony's pizza and has now turned into two different restaurants. When I get a chance to go for breakfast, I go to Birdie's. read more

Just finished having breakfast here and not worth the trip! After waiting over 30 minutes, our food was barely warm, toast burnt, had to ask for a napkin, butter and syrup for pancakes, and very, very slow service. Don't waste your time. read more

Nothing special about their breakfast. To many other places that are as good or better

Everything about this place was amazing. our waitress was kind and attentive to us, the drinks and food were delicious, and the lighting was perfect. You get what you pay for, and it's entirely worth the prices. While we were there, a police officer was present and there was no disturbance to our service, everyone handled it extremely professionally. read more

Crab cakes Benedict and Nutella waffle were wonderful and the orange juice and cappuccino were fresh. Great service and a very comfortable space. Can't wait to go back. read more

Decent food. Would suggest upgrading the sandwich buns to sour dough or focaccia as the gummy buns were off putting. Bar tender was great, nice action. Drinks were very good. Jazz guitar was nice. Sound was appropriate and not bouncing off the walls. read more

The restaurant is very cute and the service was good. The food is fair. Not bad but not good either. There are better breakfasts in town.

Great food. Went for breakfast. The service and ambiance was great. Scrambled eggs were Devine! Crepes looked wonderful along with the eggs Benedict. read more

When I think of Diner's I think of walking in and seeing a flat top grill with fresh ingredients being prepared in front of you and a case full of huge cinnamon rolls, biscuits, pies and great home cooking aromas, sorry to say not here. It's very clean and well decorated but I don't want little plastic containers of creamer that are luke warm, utter in a plastic containers along with the jelly, looked like cost cutting to me. The coffee was weak and my omelette and hash browns were mediocre not a hint of real butter anywhere, probably canola or some bulk oil. We will not be back. read more

I have been going to the Next door for several weeks now. the service and food quality are beyond great. Kelsey in particular shows such qualities of service and attentiveness to please customers and work hard ! She is such a delight! read more

Went there for Dinner on Valentines Day. The service was terrific, gorgonzola chips were great as always, Brussel sports terrific, my partners beef short ribs were great as well. My biggest issue was my steak. Ordered a medium rare steak and looked closer to medium well - well done. Obviously paying for a steak and it being extremely overcooked completely ruins the meal so that was a bit sad for such a great meal and venue to have that happen. Again, everything else was fantastic, I would just stay away from the steak. read more

Food was good and service was good. Good selection and a nice clean place.I will go again.
