I guess I'm a tough grader, looking at the other reviews of the Bluebird. We went there last night, which was probably the 7th or 8th time I've eaten there overall. There are some dishes that they do very well, and some others not so much. I think for the best experience, you should stick to the breakfast menu. The good items - Waffles! They make delicious, huge Belgian waffles, and thankfully don't smother them in butter, whipped cream, or heaven forbid margarine *shudder*. The great - Corned beef hash. Yes, this is as good as it gets. I've been a fan of hash forever, and the Bluebird makes probably the best I've ever had. Truly tops! The not so much - syrup. Yeah yeah, you're saying "geez Dave, syrup...really?" Well yes - this is just the ersatz Aunt Jemima stuff. If it isn't 100% maple syrup, it ain't syrup! Sorry. The home fries are not very good either. They use red bliss, chopped into fairly large chunks. Unfortunately, they are rather greasy, and not at all crispy. I'm a bit of a home fry snob. When I think of the perfect home fry, I think of small, consistent cubes of firm potato with a crunchy crust, onions, and a bit of salt and pepper. They should be crispy, not mushy. Sadly, you won't find that here. On Friday evenings the Bluebird serves dinner as well as their breakfast menu. They specialize in New Orleans style dishes, some of which are very good. I like their jambalaya a lot. Last night I tried the New Orleans style catfish. It was two fillets of breaded catfish, a pile of delicious fries, and a Cajun "tartar" sauce. The sauce was more like a remoulade really, and very good. The catfish itself was, eh, catfish. The breading was ok, but had a flavor I didn't really love. It was crispy and coarse, perhaps a bit too coarse. The fish was cooked nicely, but I guess I'm not so fond of catfish. I'd rather have cod or haddock prepared this way, which is no fault of the restaurant's. It maybe that as a New Englander I'm just too predisposed to the traditional fish & chips that I can't really dig on the catfish, but oh well. The fries though were excellent. There's some sort of long explanation of how they prepare their food, and the process of making the fries, on their menu. Whatever they do, it's worth it. Really good! The service is pretty good. Pleasant waitresses, the food arrives quickly and we didn't feel ignored ever. This is basic stuff, but not every restaurant can do it. Bluebird gets it. Decor is a bit shabby and worn. Overall the place looks a bit tired, and could use more lighting. I know it's "just" a diner, but an update to the interior would go a long way to improving it. I want to like this place more, as it's one of those rare family run places that is doing something different and interesting. If they made some small adjustments here and there, it would make the Bluebird great. Lots of potential here, but ultimately a little too hit or miss. read more

Totally doesn't look like much from the outside, and I'm okay with that because it keeps the crowd to mainly locals haha. We like to hold onto our hidden gems. Your food is out within ten minutes of ordering, specials are always delicious. read more

Not that great, very small portions, I left hungry. Also expensive for the little amount of food. We are quite disappointed.

Read that they had Huevos Rancheros so I put them on the list for the "Huevos Rancheros Tasting Tour 2013" - heavy and flavorful - a filling breakfast and not very expensive. This is kind of a dive diner in a shopping center, but don't rule it out! It is clean, service is quick and the menu is diverse. I'd definitely go back. Unfortunately, I didn't see the specials board when I walked in. On Saturday they had several variations of Huevos Rancheros as specials - and they looked even more divine than the menu version. read more

Bluebird Cafe - Huevos rancheros - Diners Near Me - Wakefield, Rhode Island

Amazing food. Having lived in Boston and New York my standards for a good breakfast have been raised to unreasonable levels and Blue Bird more than meets them. The inside of the cafe is underwhelming but the food is phenomenal. I go for the verduras rancheras. The buckwheat pancakes are also delicious. The daily special muffin (grilled, always get it grilled, is a winner). read more

Away a desirable spot in Wakefield! Cajun menu, including breakfast. Corn beef hash is a favorite! Vegan options available for breakfast. read more

AMAZING home cooking with the sweetest nicest and loveliest staff ever. Breakfast menu is excellent. All so fresh and great. I miss this place a ton read more

The breakfast here was wonderful. It's not a fancy joint, but it's kid friendly, the food is good, the prices are reasonable and there's a large selection in the menu. read more

Meh it's just a diner. Anyone calling it Creole has never had real southern food so anyone expecting that will be disappointed. Grits are prepackaged and made with water. Service is always great but the food is nothing to make a special trip for. read more

This is my go to breakfast place. The service is exemplary and the food even better! My usual favorite is the jambalaya hash and eggs but today on a whim I tried chicken and waffles. What was I thinking all this time. Move over jambalaya and eggs step up chicken and waffles! read more

Not impressed. I ate at the Bluebird ten years ago and returned this morning, hoping thT I liked the place better. I did not. It is still dingy and dirty and the food wasn't that impressive. The homefries were cold and we sent them back. It is a diner and could be anywhere, but not a place I would particularly recommend. read more

Dirty mugs and no condiments and wasn't impressed with food or service; I've only been here once before and it was good...I don't know if today was an off day but I won't be returning anytime soon read more

The best home made corned beef hash anywhere. As a single guy who eats out for breakfast all the time, i'm a snob when it comes to hash...but this place blows any other breakfast joint away. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Their prices are all very reasonable .The service is friendly and if you go a few times remembers your order...another lost art among waitstaff. They are closed on Tuesdays and open up for dinner on Friday nights. read more

Super accomodating and friendly. They even offer items vegan if you ask. Only recommodation would be to offer soy milk for coffee and oatmeal! Otherwise four stars and super cheap :) read more

I love breakfast food, and this place has the best breakfast of all time. The huevos rancheros may be the best thing I have ever tasted. Believe it or not, it gets better - the dinners here on Friday nights are the best kept secret in Wakefield. They offer a different soup every Friday night and they are always phenomenal. If you every get lucky enough to go on a Friday when they have the pecan crusted chicken as a special, do yourself a favor and order it! You will thank me later! read more

I would give no stars if I could! What happened to the huevos rancheros. Had them last year and they were fabulous. Today something was very wrong. The eggs were so not cooked that the plate turned into a runny mess. When brought to the attention of the waitress she brought it back to the cooks who gave her a hard time and cooked them slightly and threw them back at the counter. When I advised the cashier they were unsatisfactory she still charged for them after stating a canned " I'm sorry " . If you want a plate full of slop this is the place. Will not return! read more

Bluebird is great! Food is always fresh, well seasoned, and filling. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. The bluebird veggie melt is one of my favorites, it's filling and covered with cheese. I always get it no mushrooms add jalapenos. Be careful of the jalapenos, these will burn your mouth off, but in a good way. The venduras/juevos rancheros (whichever you prefer) is also very good. Their homemade salsa is fresh and delicious. Lastly, Bluebird can get pretty pricey for breakfast. Usually for two people we spend around 25 dollars. I never expect it to be that much, but it always is. Also the juice, don't bother with the small. Get a large or just get bottomless coffee. A friend of mine described the small orange juice as being served in a shot glass. They ended up getting a few of them which ends up costing you. All in all a great place to go if you're in Wakefield. read more

This place is great. If you have been to the south you will see the influence in the food. While not the same as food from Louisiana and other southern states, for RI it is pretty damn tasty for what it is. The people who work here are great too. read more

This place rocks! Great breakfast spot, but I also had a dinner special here (fried scallops po'boy) that was amazingly fresh and good. I recommend the breakfast burritos, home-made biscuits or cornbread, and look for their specials. It's small, and the hours are kind of limited, but it's got a nice casual, quirky vibe. read more

Good food at a very reasonable price. They are tucked away in the strip mall across from the post office. The parking lot had spots available, even at brunch time on a Saturday. I ordered a simple breakfast- 2 eggs, toast, home fries. My order came out quickly and it did not disappoint. My dining companions ordered lunch and they were pleased with their meals as well. Good stand by for breakfast when you are in the area. read more

This is one of our go to places for breakfast! The service is always fantastic and everything we have ever ordered has always been great. They had a special with hash and a cayenne hollandaise and gosh I wish it was a regular item. It was SO good! read more

Bluebird Cafe is tucked away in a little shopping center off of Kingstown Road in Wakefield. My family and I have been here a few times and it's a really nice breakfast joint. They have a good selection of items and it's very reasonably priced. The service is always quick and friendly. I definitely recommend it. read more

Probably one of the best breakfast meals I have ever had. I made my own omelet and my husband got the eggs Benedict special. Both were served super fast and super hot. Next time I am in RI, I will be back. read more

I love the Bluebird! I always go for breakfast and order the same thing everytime- 1/2 order of the huevos rancheros over easy with a side of their kickass home made corn beef hash. If you haven't had it then you need to (if you like hash that is). No alpo type hash- it's perfect! I eat the hash with the beans and egg and cheese from the huevos rancheros and it's always awesome. They have some awesome specials too. I've always just stuck to my favorite but when my friends order all their stuff looks and smells amazing. The plates are usually always cleared by the time we are ready to settle the bill. I've seen some people say they wish the decor was updated, but I think that the old style decor that they have always had is part of the charm there. It's very comfortable and cute. :) read more

A pretty standard breakfast joint. The facility is a bit dingy, a small place but pretty loud. Server was pleasant enough. Huevos Rancheros left a bit to be desired. Nothing to write home about, but decent enough for a quick bite to eat. read more

We love this place. We have been coming to this place for years for breakfast as well as Friday nights for dinner (the only night they are open). The food is great and the service is awesome. Specials every day. read more

Dirty plates and mugs, rude, awful service and horrible food. Went once and will never, ever go back.

My husband said the CB hash was indeed wonderful. I had pancakes hey were pretty good. Sausage was kind of burnt. Service was good.

This is a cute family breakfast spot that has good old fashioned egg breakfasts! Great service and would go back again!

Great portion and friendly waiting stuff, but I felt the price is premium for the portion I cannot finish. I would pay half for the half portion gladly, or more savory option. read more

Friday night dinner. Can't beat it. Get the soup from the specials menu, doesn't matter what it is, always awesome. BYOB

Favorite breakfast place best biscuits and gravy anywhere

So glad I found this place on Yelp when we were staying in Narragansett. Great breakfast: huevos rancheros were a hit with the husband, Belgian waffle loved by the daughter, and I had an omelette loaded with grilled onion, spinach and tomato...yum! Home fries were the real deal, perfectly cooked and delicious not some deep fried pieces like at other places. Service was excellent and friendly; just an enjoyable meal! read more

Well they said 25 minutes but they didn't say they'd skip us for other groups to be seated. The wait was more like 35 because we got bumped yet we never left the area. I'm sorry we're not regulars, but we're still customers. read more

Very impressed with the quality of the food and the home cooked feel of the environment. Highly recommended! read more

Best corned beef hash around. Very unusual menu for this area, with lots of cajun influences. Service is always excellent too.

Doesn't look like much, but oh! the biscuits!! Wasn't impressed with the cleanliness of the table (jelly goop from previous diner on my chair) or the decor (kind of dim). But OH the biscuits...will try again. read more

The best home cooking for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Everything I have tried has been excellent, from baked breakfast items to delicious chicken for dinner. No liquor but I believe you can byob (check first). I make sure to go every time I'm in the area. read more

I have had good breakfasts at this place, but today was awful. Our server was overwhelmed, unfriendly and took a long time to get our food. Our food was cold, my home fries were not cooked enough, and my dining companion had burnt eggs. I will not be coming back anytime soon. read more

When will this place finally close for good???? Inconsistent food, bad attitude owner, and food poisoning, thats all i saw! Dont eat here, go ANYWHERE ELSE!!!! read more
