-Celiac- Gluten-free review- Early Bird!! You did that. From the moment we walked in to the time we left, everything was A1 son. The vibe is cozy and local, and every interaction we had with staff was friendly and warm. The drip coffee was sooooooo good. I could have put an entire carafe away on flavor alone. The cocktail menu had some unique drinks on it, didn't partake during this visit but definitely would try them on a future visit. The owner's daughter has celiac disease, so they take great precautions with cross-contact and most of the menu can be made gluten free. No pancakes or biscuits, but the fryer is dedicated and they have a dedicated waffle maker. I got the chicken fried chicken and my wife got the chicken and waffles. Yall. YALL. YALLLLLLLLLLL!!! Where tf do I even begin. Chicken was perfectly crispy and tender tender. I could bathe in that white gravy and die happy. Potatoes cooked perfectly. Gf bread toasted perfectly. Arugula fresh. Shishito pepper perfectly charred. Idk what yall use for hot sauce, but that joint was GOOD. And I know this is a small footnote, but this plate also came with tomato. When eating out and there's a veggie 'garnish' it's typically served some nothing-burger, tasteless, it's just there for a pop of color tomato. But even the tomato on this plate was so subtly good. And that tells me a lottttt about the kitchen here. When you care about every detail, it shows, and this plate was a home run for me. One of the best breakfasts I've had out to eat hands down. I cleaned that plate. My wife's chicken and waffles were incredibly good. The waffles were thick, but crispy and soft in all the right spots, and the flavor was so good that they could stand completely by themselves- no butter, no syrup, no nothiiiing. Hers came with a small trough of that sweet ass white gravy that basically rendered her side of syrup useless. We have syrup at home! Her chicken was perfectly cooked as well. We didn't want for water or coffee refills at all. I believe our server's name was Ashley and she was on it. She very confidently answered all my questions about safety and handling for the gluten-free options we both had. Yall are killing it here in Midtown, Early Bird. read more

Early Bird Restaurant - Midtown - Gluten-free chicken fried chicken plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I absolutely love this brunch spot! I've been here several times. The service is always quick, friendly, and super attentive! The staff really make you feel welcome. The menu has so many great options, but my go-tos are the fried chicken and the breakfast burrito (both are amazing). The vibe is fun and quirky, with cute decorations that make it feel cozy and unique. There's plenty of seating both indoors and on the patio, and they even allow dogs outside, which is such a nice touch. Parking is easy with lots of spaces in the front and back, a big plus on busy weekends! Whether you're grabbing brunch with friends or just treating yourself to a relaxed morning, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend! read more

Great service, delicious food and the food came out so quickly after ordering it was amazing! The restaurant is clean and the food is always tasty. This will always be a staple. There are quite a few places that came and gone but hope early bird can stick around for awhile. I loved the burrito, the biscuits & gravy and their chilaquiles are delicious too. More upscale than your hole in the wall mom and pop shop for sure! read more

Wonderful food with layers of extraordinary flavor! Got the EBI Benedict and the Chicken fried chicken. PHENOMENAL.

I came here with some girls for a Sunday morning brunch. We love that Early Bird offers reservations. I came here to say that my experience this time around was just as good as my last time. I ordered the same biscuits and gravy and it was so tasty. We also ordered a pancake to share and it was fluffy and delightful! Service was wonderful. I will definitely be back soon! read more

This is a great place to grab some brunch before heading to Bruz for a craft beer. The food here is fantastic! It's pricey for breakfast food, but very delicious. The Chicken Fried Chicken and the Biscuit were especially good. There's not usually any available street parking. But, there is a free parking lot behind the restaurant. That is usually pretty full, too, but we have always been able to find a spot. read more

Service was great! We had a reservation because it was the weekend and very busy. The food was a bit disappointing for me. My biscuit and potatoes were very dry for some reason. It could be the dish I got or maybe just a slight mishap. I would still recommend though because the service and atmosphere made up for it. read more

Fabulous food, and very celiac-safe! The owner's daughter has Celiac, so they're very knowledgeable. There is a separate fryer (friend chicken!), and they cook their gluten-free grill items separately. The chilaquiles were fabulous. Also, the server was really nice read more

Early Bird Restaurant - Midtown - Chilaquiles, Rice & Quinoa Egg Stir - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Food: tasty, good variety, warm items arrive warm. I received a different 'Risers than I ordered, but luckily the one I got was my second choice. Beverage: large in size, tasty lattes, but I do not recommend the Chai. Service: expect a more European experience - slower than you'd expect. We were day and it took about 10 minutes for our server to come take drink orders, another 15 or so until he was back to take our food orders. I get that this may be to allow the kitchen to keep up with pacing but it's something we noticed on both visits. Getting our check was challenging as well - we had to ask someone other than our server. Environment: noisy! And the doors open frequently, without any buffer from chilly air. Overall, worth a little bit of a drive to not have to wait for a table, but you will spend other time waiting. It will be tasty food, though! read more

I stopped by for brunch and absolutely loved it! The food was so fresh and full of flavor -- every bite felt like comfort on a plate. The pancakes were perfectly fluffy, and the sides complemented everything so well. The service was wonderful too -- friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. It really felt like they cared about making sure everything was just right. The place itself has such a warm and welcoming vibe. It's bright, cozy, and just the kind of spot where you can sit back, enjoy your meal, and take your time. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending it to all my friends! read more

This place is fantastic. Great service, quick kitchen, and everything we ordered was great. Definitely coming back.

This place is a must try if you ever visit Denver. Let me say all recommendations made were absolutely amazing. We had a great experience, The ambiance is very welcoming. They have Amazing food for Brunch (The Chicken and Eggs was awesome w/ the gravy) But the Grille with Bacon and French Toast was my absolute favorite and service was great as well . Staff here is extremely friendly . There is a wait, so I would recommend making a reservation before hand. But I'll definitely be back again... read more

One of the things I love about the denver dining out passbook is finding places I might not otherwise have discovered. Really cute place in a development off pecos. Lots of unique menu options, I went with the egg stir and my partner had the la jefa. Their house made hot sauce is amazing. 9am on Saturday and sat immediately and food was out in less than 10 mins, really efficient. read more

Girlfriends brunch. Food was unanimously excellent. My entree was the rice and quinoa egg-stir. So much food! Many lovely flavors - the crispy brussel sprouts with toasty chickpeas in a delicious dressing and the bacon-wrapped dates were highlights amidst the fresh avocado, perfectly cooked scrambled eggs, and generous helpings of rice and quinoa. The mimosas were great, our server was warm and knowledgeable, and the restaurant has a friendly neighborhood feel. We all loved it. read more

Great food! Cute cafe! Recommend the chicken fried chicken and eggs! The burrito with green chile sauce was a hit also. read more

Absolutely decadent!!!! Cute little place in what seems to be a bit of a gentrified area. Service was friendly and fast. The Mrs. had the creamiest, fluffiest scrambled eggs you can get. My daughter loved her pancakes that were the size of her head. I don't know if I've ever seen my son eat a Belgian waffle faster !!! Bacon was well cooked and tasty. I had the Chicken and Waffles. Perfectly fried boneless chicken thigh on top of a deliciously fluffy waffle with a trough of house made pork gravy (almost think strained sausage gravy that had bits of bacon in it) side of what seemed like house made hot sauce. Decent mocha in a nice big mug. A hit with the whole family!!!! read more

We were initially hesitant to make the drive from downtown Denver but I can honestly say it was some of the best brunch I've ever eaten. I got the EBR beni and every bite was 10/10. We can't wait to go back. read more

We loved our experience here. Thanks to Zindy for an awesome first experience. Awesome service. They have an outside area for warmer days, a small bar area that is cool, some nice merchandise, and fun dance music in the background. I was between the La Jefa and Landmark and got the La Jefa. Unique and delicious. Waffles, corn, egg, etc. I decided to not do the maple syrup and chose their house made hot sauce and Hollandaise instead. Liked my choice, but I am sure the syrup would have been legit too. Wife had an Orange Julius drink that was tasty and I had a Session draft. They have a happy hour where everything is $5 on alcoholic drinks that is worth checking out. It is in the passbook and that is why we checked it out. We will be back, and I will make sure to get the delicious looking Landmark omelette. They get a 4 in my book for one reason. Every single drink was the same price at $9.75. No separation. My Session was $8, which is about $3 above market price. Otherwise, I highly recommend, and see you there! read more

This cute brunch place was right around the corner from my Airbnb. I came multiple times on my trip and had a great experience each time. I am not a huge breakfast person (I know I know) so, for me, I came for the smoothies (MUST try!) I got the Green one, and Power, And of course, a cheddar scone with jam. Yogurt granola bowl also yummy! The staff is super friendly. Anything you try is made with love :) read more

Great food, great service. The ambiance was wonderful too. I went with my son and his girlfriend and we had a really good time.

Good food, and service. Good place to meet friends for breakfast. Easy place to meet for those who live by Boulder or in Westminster.

Forget all the hipster spots with there new agey breakfast. This spot is awesome. Clean, inviting, warm and friendly employees. GREAT FOOD! Quality and portions. I have been to Denver at least 10 times and this is hands down the best! The rice and quinoa scramble and the chicken fried chicken were so fresh. I'll miss you Early Bird. Until my next return. Stay cool. read more

This is the neighborhood breakfast cafe that I dream of being able to walk to from my home on a weekend morning. I was surprised that there wasn't a wait and we were seated immediately at a high-top near the door. Inside, it's a "farmhouse chic vibe"; the staff was welcoming and chatty, perfect for our relaxed mood. We started with coffee and smoothies -- and the smoothies came in plastic to-go cups, which I found a little strange, but then I saved half my smoothy for the ride home... so #winner! I wanted something simple that included their fabled potatoes, so I got Eggs Your Way, over medium, and OMG, those potatoes are something else! I chose the sausage links, but I think I'd prefer bacon or ham next time. My friend inhaled his smothered burrito before I could snap a pic. Looking forward to our next breakfast here. read more

My wife and I were looking for a place to have breakfast and having started our day a little later than usual, we knew the usual local metro haunts would be filled to the gills with patrons and long wait lists, so we went outside of our usual zone and ended up at Early Bird - Midtown. I'm glad we did as the ambience was right, the staff friendly and attentive and the food quite good. Eggs cooked well and potatoes, mmmmm. We were sat right away at a table near the host station but weren't once disturbed by the incoming or outgoing traffic. The place seems to be steady but we didn't notice a back up or crazy line at any point that we were there. Would we return? If we're ever running late and want a good sit down restaurant without a crazy wait, we most certainly will! read more

The food was great, but 25$ for sausage links twi eggs and a waffle is not okay. Keep an eye on your bill or the staff will play you by ringing up everything alucard. read more

Food was pretty bad, the Chicken Biscuit had so much hot sauce on it that I got sick. Potatoes were the only good part of the meal. Took about 30-40 minutes to get food, even though restaurant was empty. Server brought the food, and never checked back in, not even to refill drinks or ask how our meal was. Finally after about 20 minutes of waiting for someone to come by, the hostess drops off the check, says nothing, and doesn't even clear dishes or refill drinks. For 60 bucks, I expected a little more. Will not return, Will not recommend. read more

Disappointing service from the host stand to the waitress completely forgetting us after the initial greeting and filling of waters and coffee. Beware the credit card surcharge, we paid cash and they forgot to remove it when they brought my change. Had to remind waitress to bring that change back as well. Food was okay but will not be going back because of the service read more

We came to order takeout but walking into this place was so nice. Very chill for a morning spot. The service was perfect. For it being our first time coming to denver, I had low expectations but the food here caught me by surprise and I'm so glad it did. I had the double BLT and I don't know what they did to it but they put their whole foot in it and I was very satisfied. read more

Went here for breakfast today with my family and it was great! It was my first time there and the service was fabulous! We were sat right away, given waters and coffee immediately!
