My wife and I just moved into this area a month ago, and already, the Early Bird Cafe is our FAVORITE breakfast place! The menu has lots of options, the food is delicious, and the prices are very good. We have had both Valeria and Patricia as our servers, and they are already our friends. The restaurant is very comfortable, and conveniently located as well. read more

our server was FANTASTIC! The food was just ok. we will NOT be returning to this restaurant. The food was not good. I had the chili relleno omelet. the chilie tasted like it had been cooked 2 years ago. it was so over cooked that the chili was almost disintegrating. the flavor was bland. the whole omelette was just not tasty. my husband ordered the tuna melt. he said the tuna looked and tasted like it was made last week. not appetizing at all. read more

Went to eat here about 1 p.m. on a Sunday. The place was crowded, but the waitresses were busy cleaning off tables and taking orders. We waited awhile, which we understood the need to wait. I ordered two eggs with hashbrowns, bacon and wheat toast. My guests ordered spanish omelet, biscuits and gravy, and banana walnut waffle. The food overall was ok. No one commented about their food much. If you want a basic breakfast this place is ok. Pricey for the food. Due to the shortage of staff-we had to ask a few times for coffee refills. read more

Early Bird Cafe - biscuit and gravy - American Near Me - Hemet, California

The staff is nice enough but they do get really busy in the early part of mornings on Sundays before closing as well so keep that in mind. The food was decent we had a mixture of different breakfasts. Portion sizes were OK. Pricing is a bit high for older restaurants and standard breakfast fare A few dollars left per meal would probably be the number to land on. read more

Just started working in the area, glad to see there's a diner that is walking distance for me. Got a cup of the soup of the day, it was clam chowder at the time. Soup was good, had lots of clams. I would've preferred less oil though. Service was sweet, even if she was swamped at the time, she was nice. Real spacious diner with lots of seating. Excited to try the other items later on. read more

Excellent prices and good food. They beat Denny's by far. I can't wait to eat there again!

We came out for breakfast while visiting dad in Hemet. We all chose Mexican items because we don't get that at home in Humboldt. We were not disappointed! It came out hot and tasty. The eggs were cooked perfectly on all our dishes. The sauce on my chilaquiles was amazing!!! Portions were large so we took some home for later. The vibe was good, the place was clean. Service was Friendly. What's not to like? read more

Great place to eat. All six of us loved the food and portions. As a retired Executive Chef I have no problem being a food critic. Early Bird Cafe has a great menu to choose from. Portions are big and service is great. The place is clean and well maintained. I give this place straight A's. read more

Great service and the food is very good, and the prices are very reasonable. This is definitely my favorite breakfast place.

Wow... had a wonderful breakfast with my hubby. Food out in record time steming hot and delicious. Our server Valerie borders on being Psychic having drinks ready, the perfect coffee mug and accoutrements prepared almost before we could sit down. This is a perfectly comfortable place for your down home diner experience. read more

Although the service and food were good, the prices were outrageous for what we ordered. Grilled cheese (we split) 2 very small salads, a cup of soup and 1 cup of coffee...wait for it...$31 and change! I will not be going back there, who could afford it??? read more

Ambiance: it has an old school cafe/diner vibe to it. Not too big when you get inside and the decor won't wow you but nice little spot to enjoy breakfast with your family. Service: service has always been on point when coming. Though the seem to only have one server there. But to their credit, you never are waiting for them to stop by and check in for refills. They make sure they ask if you need anything after they leave the food which is always nice so you aren't waiting around to eat your food once it arrives. They also do great when they know my kids are sharing a plate and bring it out separated so I don't have to do that. Huge plus there Food: the food is really good. I've had a couple omelets here and the chicken fried steak. Portions are a nice size. Just enough to get me full and the price is super reasonable in my opinion which is why I keep coming back. Overall: for me if you are looking for a good breakfast spot that won't break the bank but get you full and satisfied, this is the place for you. read more

Went to a women's breakfast here on Saturday morning. It gave me an Alice vibe. Old school local "hole in the wall" respectfully. You know, the place all the locals come to but it's not real trendy? I've never been here or to the breakfast before. I am not sure what the owner was thinking having only two waitresses or not many cooks in the kitchen. We ordered about 9am and our food didn't come until after 10:45am. I was not upset, but I wasn't happy either. Valerie was our waitress. She was very nice and kept my coffee cup full at all times. Turns out our ticket got lost. I even had to go to the cashier to pay for something I never got charged for. I never got to eat any of my sandwich because it was time to go already. I did eat it when I got home and it was good... not $15.00 good though. The star of the show for me was that carrot soup. I enjoy trying new things and that was absolutely delicious. Apparently I am coming back monthly because the women's group meets here once a month. I pray that I can give it a 5 next time. read more

I went to Early Bird Cafe this morning and I really wanted to give it 5 stars. I ordered a build your own omelette with onions, bell pepper, spinach, mushrooms, and requested to add bacon but the cook forgot to add it to it. I don't eat potatoes but ordered a fruit cup but it didn't taste fresh & completely my order with cranberry juice but didn't like that either. The waitress was kind enough to change it to apple juice but even that was good because it was watered down so much. The waitress was so nice. She always had a smile and quick to make any changes. The waitress did offer me to make me bacon on the side and I appreciate that. read more

The food is delicious there and the staff is extremely friendly and they will accommodate people from two people to 20 people. I recommend this restaurant very highly. Thank you. read more

We eat here two or three times a week but now that they have new owners, J&M cafe, we won't be back We quit eating at J&M because the food was served cold and miss cooked. Eggs served not as ordered etc We went to the Early Bird and the same low standards were served Sorry, we really liked the staff and chef of the early bird before the changes We won't be back read more

We have become regulars we go at least once a week. The food is good keeps us coming back. You get a lot of food for the price which in this economy is always good. read more

I don't want to trash a local business, but I feel I need to warn other people. I ordered a burger that would have been great if it didn't taste like an old freezer patty, the fries had no salt on them at all. My wife ordered an omelet that was also without taste. Everything we ordered was bland. My total bill was $30. I wish I had gone to a chain restaurant. For the same price you can get some better food and atmosphere. This was my second time here. The first time we had breakfast and enjoyed it, don't know what happened to this place. read more

We are from out of town and we're looking for a breakfast place. This place was absolutely delicious. Looks like a local cafe and they accommodated our big party of 12. They had crepe specials among others and 10/10 recommend: our server was on top of all our request and constantly made sure we were taken care of. Prices were also great. I would come again and if anyone is looking for a great breakfast spot this is it!!! read more

I got hooked on the chicken fried steak and eggs cottage fries and biscuits and gravy!

While visiting the area I decided to stop in for brunch with my husband. Upon entering I knew this place either hd really good food or really bad food... but my hopes were high! The service was wonderful! Very friendly and attentive! Feels family owned. Our food came quickly, but wasn't lacking quality. And definitely was delicious! I had the Rueben sandwich with sweet potato fries. And my husband had the turkey, bacon avocado club sandwich with sweet potato fries. Both sandwiches were delicious, fries were very good as well! Definitely grab a bite if you're in the area! read more

Love this resturant!! I have had many breakfast items and all were great. Yes they can be busy at times, so just be calm and patient and enjoy your coffee. I have seen some low reviews because some people feel that they are very special and should be waited on like their moms use to; get a life !. If you want to get it fast, then go to jack in the box. Nice staff, great food, reasonable prices. read more

Food is always great, all the servers are especially kind. Great place for a family meal, and the kids loved the attention from the staff, is becoming a regular weekend breakfast choice for my family read more

Deceptively large place, lots of room, large booths, open space. Plenty of distance between tables for social distancing. Very sweet and attentive staff. Seem like they very much care about their guests happiness. We did take our order to go. Still warm by the time we got it home. Taste was very good. What I did neglect to realize was that the California Benny does not come on an English muffin(?) weird. I guess I should have just trusted the description. The home fries lacked flavor but were fine nonetheless, tasted like exactly what they were, (potatoes, peppers and onions). I would just opt for hash browns next time. Their home made Hollandaise sauce, however, was great. They got our order exactly right and got it out super quickly. We only waited about 5-7 minutes. Definitely will be going back. read more

Decent breakfast. Fast service. Beware - corned beef hash is supposed to be homemade according to the menu. However it is the junk from a can. Disappointing. read more

UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP! My husband Scott and I tried out the Early Bird Cafe in Hemet yesterday for breakfast. I had corned beef hash, eggs, homefries and a crepe. My husband had an omelet, home fries and toast. Soooo yummy, but the best part was the fast, friendly, super attentive, helpful service by Valerie! She is a delight! All the staff was friendly! We are making this our go to breakfast place in Hemet! Valerie also recommended a place for hair, nails, dinner, entertainment and so much more! It's like the good old days when service meant being treated like a VIP!!! Highly recommend! read more

Good food! Good service! I had the cowboy Benedict and it was sooo delicious! I highly recommend!

Service was okay. Not great but not terrible. The California Benny left a lot to be desired. Waitress set the plate down and informed me the cook forgot to put the English muffin under the meat & eggs and then asked me if I wanted the muffin still on the side. The turkey had some extremely hot parts and then parts that were ice cold. Nothing was seasoned. The prices are on the higher end so I expected the food to be better... just go to Abby's Cafe. It's worth the extra 5min drive. read more
