Food is amazing and so are the employees but damn! Turn on the AC- miserably hot in the restaurant

Wish we could've come sooner! Everything tasted fantastic, from the Sancha Horchata Coffee to the Munchie Cristo! The service was absolutely fantastic. Everyone was incredibly sweet and attentive, and you could see how genuinely they enjoyed interacting with their customers. It honestly felt like being around family and friends, which is something so rare nowadays. The decor was so fun too! Our eyes kept wandering around because there was always another piece of art or little detail to look and giggle at. If you're thinking about going, please do! I guarantee you'll love it just as much as we did. We're definitely coming back and bringing more friends with us! 10/10! read more

The Baked Bird has personality from the moment you walk in. The bright, open dining room, colorful murals, yellow chairs and waffle-shaped coffee mugs all fit a playful breakfast concept that feels intentional rather than gimmicky. The coffee was smooth, and the staff worked well as a team. They were attentive and knowledgeable about both the menu and the restaurant's history. We learned that the restaurant is run by a chef duo and that their baker starts around 4 a.m. preparing the day's baked goods. We ordered the Yolkster and the Dirty South. The Yolkster showed solid technique. The hollandaise was glossy, properly emulsified and balanced between richness and acidity. The over-easy egg released a perfectly fluid yolk, while the scratch-made English muffin was nicely browned and crisp outside with a tender interior. The bacon was a little overdone for me, but the chicken sausage was a pleasant surprise with a nice balance of acid and salt. The Dirty South looks heavy when it arrives, but the dish comes together surprisingly well. The sausage gravy was one of the better versions I've had in a while. Good consistency, proper color, plenty of sausage and none of the raw or scorched flour taste that can ruin a gravy. The biscuit was dense but fully cooked with visible layers. The potatoes could have used more exterior crispness. The pico brought a welcome freshness and acidity that cut through the richness of the gravy, biscuit, egg and cheese. A little more would have helped maintain that balance throughout the dish. What impressed me most was the technique behind all that personality. Scratch-made breads, properly cooked eggs, a well-made hollandaise and carefully prepared sausage gravy show a kitchen paying attention to the fundamentals. I left curious about the rest of the menu. Next time, I'm trying the pancakes. read more

I joined the Braun Station retirees for their July lunch at the Baked Bird today. My wife had been there before, but it was a new experience for me. I only have one negative to mention. They don't have any hash on the menu even though the huge sign outside says, "Hash House & Coffee". They more than make up for that with all their other wonderful offerings. I chose the Steven Seagull for my meal. It's on an open face scratch made English muffin with lemon chive cream cheese, smoked salmon, hard boiled egg, fried capers and pico. They didn't have hard boiled eggs today, so they substituted my choice of eggs. I chose easy over. For my side, I chose the lime avocado. It was actually a huge scoop of guacamole- larger than most Mexican restaurants ever give. It was all totally awesome. I had a Pontoon Alley lemonade (guava, peach and raspberry). I had already had my coffee quota for the day. It was tangy, sweet, and refreshing. The venue itself was a surprise! It is spacious and bright. I don't think anyone could be in a bad mood here with such good food and the cheerful ambiance. read more

Man this place always hits the spot, just the right amount of food for the price and it hits the spot for sure. The staff are always amazing. I have thankfully never had any issues with them, they make the stay super enjoyable. The interim I'm so glad that they extended the place it's awesome with how much room they have now! If you had went in the past and were nervous with the limited space, it's much more spacious now! I got the chicken sandwich and it was so good! It's a ground chicken patty fried and it's super flavorful. I also got the dirty South this time around and that was as scrumptious as ever! Always excited to return here! read more

I've lived near The Baked Bird for a long time and I finally took the time to check them out. They normally close at 2pm every day. The interior is nice and bright. The staff was nice and friendly. I got the Amy Swinehouse breakfast sandwich with potatoes as my side. The portions are big. I took half of it home. It was delicious. I also got the Paris hot coffee. I enjoy everything about my meal and I will definitely be back in the near future. It's definitely good value for the money. read more

This place was really good. Wow. Nice location. Plenty of seating. Everyone is super nice. You might find yourself in a line getting in but they put menus out for you to browse while you're waiting and it actually goes kinda quick. And the food. For the chuck norris with scrambled eggs and American cheese(yes they allow substitutions). It came with potatoes and I also got a side of grits. The grits. Came swimming in butter. Which is how I like em. I doubted they got the salt right cause most places don't. These were perfect. Some of the best grits I've had and I grew up on them. No need to add anything. The potatoes were also really good. The sandwich itself was very nice. Next time I'll see if I can get it on a biscuit cause there will be next time. And good sweet tea. I'm glad I stopped here. It has been on my list to try for a minute. Today is Friday but I'm trying to talk some peeps into going back on Sunday lol see yall then! read more

We were on vacation in San Antonio and wanted some breakfast for takeout. The place was packed so we already knew he had picked a winner. There was plenty of room on the patio, but it was a bright and sunny day in San Antonio, so you know everyone was inside. The food was amazing, I haven't had a homemade southern style breakfast like this in many a year. Everyone loves their food. My burrito was outstanding, great flavors and of course I had to make it dirty with some outstanding gravy. Biscuits were flaky and moist, everything had a great hardiness to it that assured you wouldn't be going hungry. My picky kids loved the sausage. I really wish this restaurant was in Katy, but at least I'll have a breakfast to look forward to the next time I visit San Antonio. I'll be going again on the way back to Katy too. read more

This is definitely a treat kind of restaurant. It is very good. I like it. Their menu is simple, but big enough to have an option for everyone in your group. You order at the counter and then your food is brought up to you. I had the yolkster with salmon. You do get the option for your protein. It came with the best potatoes ever. I don't know what seasoning they used, but they were delicious. I originally was going use ketchup, but it didn't need it at all. The yolkster is an eggs Benedict. The portion size was big. I will say that the combination of the salmon and all the other ingredients made it a tad bit salty for me, but I still ate it. It was still delicious. For my drink I had a chai latte. It wasn't overly sweet. They do have a water station where you can also find to go boxes which makes it easier to take your food to go. The seating is first come first serve. parking is available on site, but shared with the other businesses. The staff was very welcoming. The noise level is low read more

Probamos este lugar por primera vez vez y me pació muy rico. Mi plato venía con papas con chorizo, cebolla y chile verde dulce, 2 huevos. Realmente las papas sabrosas, el sabor a chorizo les dio un toque especial, los tamaños de los platos muy adecuados a mi parecer en las fotos de la paguina se ven pequeños tanto que pensé que no me llenaría pero cuando vino la verdad quedé súper atisfecha con la porción porque yo como un poco bastante, ordené un late grande. También tiene pan dulce, lo hornean ahí en el lugar, así que es reciente, el tamaño del lugar es regular no pequeño no grande pero se llena muchísimo la línea es grande o será porque era en sábado pero ve preparado para esperar por favor read more

Place is a hidden but very nice. Food was freshly made and hot. There was a long line in the morning and it can get packed/crowded in the morning so come with plenty of time to wait to order, find a seat, and your food. Line is well organized and once you reach the register, you can order. The food took about five or so minutes to arrive at our table. Great portion of food that will most likely leave leftovers! Recommended! read more

We had a great experience at Baked Bird! The breakfast was delicious and everyone found something they loved. We ordered the El Chile Pollo, Baby Green (avocado toast meal), and the Dirty South...all were really good and full of flavor. Note, the El Chile Pollo would've tasted so great with a chicken filet vs ground chicken patty. The Train Wreck coffee was also a standout and definitely worth trying. We couldn't leave without dessert and tried the cinnamon roll and the peanut butter sandwich cookie. Both were the perfect sweet treat. The environment was super friendly and welcoming. My kids absolutely loved all the wall art and had fun looking at everything while we were there. It's a great spot for families and felt right at home. read more

The Baked Bird (TBB) is, hands down, the best breakfast/brunch spot (and arguably one of the best restaurants in San Antonio). You can find it on a busy corner where Babcock and Huebner intersect. The person who designed the parking lot was probably smoking a spliff when they did so because it's just wonky, but that has nothing to do with TBB. Each time we go, Ryan (the manager), Jen (the owner), and their entire staff provide the most intentional, welcoming, and top-notch service. Their space has expanded- I'm sure as a direct response to how popular they are- so there's more seating and assigned tables to make life for the customers and staff easier. We took our adult twins to TBB to celebrate their birthday, and we've decided it will be our family's breakfast celebration spot for the foreseeable future. They have an on-site bakeshop (which you can peer into while you eat at a countertop by the window), churning out scratch-made scones, sweet rolls, and pop-tarts. Our daughter loved and adored their piña colada scone a while back, so she tried out the Earl Grey scone on this visit. The baker is a genius because they topped the tea-flavored scone with what I detected was a honey cream cheese frosting. The genius is creating a pastry that literally tasted like a cuppa Earl Grey tea. Our son and my husband opted for a cinnamon roll. The only thing that would've improved them was a little heat, as they were slightly colder than room temp. TBB has quippy names for each of its menu items, which make ordering a blast. We decided on: -The Dirty South: this dish is everything you'd want in a breakfast plate. The sausage gravy is velvety and full of flavor, and the potatoes are crispy on the outside with a fluffy interior. The biscuit and eggs (I chose scrambled) were fluffy and flavorful as well. -Notorious P.I.G.: my son kept raving about how this sandwich was done right: "Why don't people appreciate bacon AND sausage on a breakfast sammie?!?!" Spoken like a true 21-year-old with good cholesterol. -Pablo Eggscobar: The caramelized onion and chipotle aioli took our daughter's baconeggandcheesesangwich over the top. -Pancake Tray: This is what you want to order if you're a safe-bet maker. You get the best of breakfast ESPECIALLY because their pancakes are the best in the city, IDK, I said what I said! We each ordered a Sancha Horchata (I'm willing to get the shakes to have this injected into my veins), Purple Haze, Token Irishman, and a Train Wreck. ALL of this, with a generous tip, set us back ONLY $106. Well worth it since each of us needed to-go containers. Shout-out to the graphic artist who's done all the art at TBB. They definitely add to the chill atmosphere, so I want to big them up. read more

But if you're looking for huge portions, decadent flavors, and a delicious hearty meal, you've come to the right place! Everything we had was so good but our favorite was definitely the pancakes. It had the perfect texture - slightly crispy on the inside and extra fluffy on the inside. We ordered the drinks too but they were way too sweet. There was a line to the door when we went but the service was fast and friendly. Can't wait to come back and try all the other things on their menu read more

If you're looking for one of the most fun and flavorful breakfast spots in San Antonio, The Baked Bird absolutely deserves the hype. This funky little breakfast joint has the perfect mix of scratch-made comfort food, creative menu items, and a quirky atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel memorable from the moment you walk in. The colorful décor, friendly staff, and homemade feel give it that hidden-gem energy people love discovering. The top menu items are seriously next level. The Birds Nest is one of the standouts -- crispy smashed potatoes, peppers, onions, chorizo, cheddar, and a sunny-side egg all packed with flavor and comfort in every bite. The Dirty South is another must-order with its scratch-made biscuit, sausage gravy, egg, and cheese that tastes like elevated Southern comfort food. If you want something unforgettable, the Secret Burrito is one of the most talked-about items for good reason. Loaded, flavorful, and paired with their incredible sauce, it's the kind of breakfast burrito that ruins other breakfast burritos for you afterward. Their pancakes are massive, fluffy, and perfectly indulgent, while the WTFT French toast with triple berry compote is perfect if you love sweet breakfast options. And honestly, don't skip the pastries. The cinnamon rolls, homemade Pop-Tarts, coffee cake, and lemon blueberry scones feel truly homemade and are worth taking extras to-go. Pair everything with one of their signature lattes like the Purple Haze or Time Bomb, and you've got one of the best breakfast experiences in the city. read more

As you walk thru the front doors, you are transported into a place that resembles a cross between an art exhibit and a drink bar. The free spirited owner Matt, has taken his successful food truck business and expanded it to a brick and mortar restaurant located near the well traveled intersection of Babcock and Huebner. You order at the counter first, and then choose your table. Since the food is freshly prepared, I recommend choosing a baked good like the blueberry sconce to enjoy while waiting on your meal. I went with the Peach French Toast and eggs and wifey did the same less the fruit toppings. The Peach was fresh and tasty, but those crumbles mixed in were as good as a breakfast topping as I've ever had. The texture of the crumble was crunchy and had enough sugar to activate my taste buds to want more. I could easily take a bag of these home and snack on them all day. The vibe was peaceful and joyful all at the same time and I would encourage others to come check them out when looking for a chill experience. read more

Me and my husband went at 8am on a Saturday with 2 friends and it was nice and quiet before the rush. I ordered the pancake tray which was great! The pancakes are very sweet and fluffy on the inside while being crispy on the outside. I ordered the eggs over medium but I received undercooked eggs which are pictured. When I told them I'd like another order of eggs as over medium, the staff was really nice about it and made me a new order which came out perfectly over medium (also pictured). The only downside was that the service took a really long time. We waited for our food to come for over 30 minutes for 4 people and at this time, there was probably only 8 tables taken up including ours. Overall, I would go back! read more

This place was good, but maybe a little overhyped? Which seems our experience wasn't the norm. But we came here on a Friday around 10 and it was slammed. It took probably 20 minutes for us to order, and the line stayed at around 20 groups the whole time we were there. I ordered a sticky icky latte and was dissapointed it was brought in an unbranded to go cup even though we were dining in. For I think $8 it fell short of the price point. They were already sold out of most of the pastries like the cinnamon rolls. We ordered the Pablo eggscobar which I thought was too much bread. The potatoes were good. My husband ordered the dirty bird which was really good and definitely the better meal. Overall it was good and I'm glad to see a local option in the area. read more

My husband and I were looking for a good place to grab breakfast Saturday morning after plant shopping and the Baked Bird came up with really great reviews. We were one of the first people there as they were opening, and the minute we walked in we were greeted as if we were family! Really great service. The decor is hilarious, I love all the color everywhere, definitely cheery. I ordered a fresh brewed coffee which was excellent and comes with unlimited refills. My husband ordered one of the seasonal pumpkin coffee latte's and though the flavor was very good, it was brutally sweet. While we waited for our food, we got a coffee cake to snack on with our coffee and it was great because it wasn't super sweet to it balanced out. My husband ordered the BABY GREEN which is a smashed avocado toast with lime and jalapeno on cheddar sour dough with 2 eggs and cotija cheese. It was excellent! And they are very generous with the smashed avocado, he had to put some on my plate! (Not complaining.) For me, I got the Steven Seagull which is an open face sandwich in scratch made English Muffin (amazing) with lemon chive cream cheese (they need to sell this stuff!) smoked salmon, and hard boiled egg slices. Honestly, this was so refreshing and light, and zesty, and wonderful. So good! It's a bit of a drive for me but I'd love to go back and try more of the menu. I was very impressed! read more

Omg! This place is the best! This is a late review as you can tell by holiday menu. I went on a weekend. It's pretty popular so be prepared for a wait. Service is friendly. You get in line, order at the counter and then find a seat. It's pretty spacious and even with how busy it was it was not difficult to find a table. Decor is great. Food is delicious. I tried The Birds Nest. A lot of food. Doesn't disappoint. Bestie tried a burrito but I do not recall name of it. She enjoyed it. I will say I was not a fan of the coffee I ordered. Too sweet. I'd go back and try another kind. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a new place to try. read more

Great place to shake things up! Fun vibe on the inside, and the food and portions are great for the price. Knowing the owner is from Michigan leaves a lil soft spot for me as a follow Michigander Their service is set up like chick-fil-a or Panera. You order at the counter, you get a number, and they bring the food to your table. You grab your own silverware and water at a stand in the restaurant. The food and drinks were great. Fun names and flavors. I got the Bruce Banner, the amount of coconut was just right, not over powering. I wanted a sweet and had one of their pop tarts - delicious. I want those everyday lol. We got the Birds Nest and the Amy Swinehouse. For me, the portion size is two meals for me! I could do with less potatoes on the birds nest, but it might be perfect for someone else. Chorizo was just the right amount of greasy . The Amy Swinehouse was gooey and filling. My husband ate the whole thing, and then some of my potatoes. We will be back! read more

I've been a fan of this place since they had a food truck parked at reunion place (IYKYK), this however was my first time at their new brick and mortar. I ordered a Vanilla ice coffee to start. Which was pretty solid and not overly sweet. I Followed that by going with the Dirty south, which is pretty much a layer of potatoes, a biscuit with gravy, over easy egg with cheese and pico. As you can see by the photos it is a GRACIOUS size for little Ol' me. Everything pretty much made sense when it came to this combination lol From the crispy potatoes that were seasoned well, to the fluffy biscuit paired with the gravy!!! The gravy might just be the star of the show in my opinion. It had bits of breakfast sausage in it that was a nice touch. You can definitely tell it's scratch made. My food was on the less warm side, which would be my only take from today, but it's nothing that would prevent me from coming in again. I would definitely give them a try, they have something for everybody. read more

You know you've discovered a great place when service and food combine and are spectacular. Then, the decor makes adds a touch of fun. We wanted to try a new place, which led us to the Baked Bird. Because it was breakfast and we all have sweet tooth, we ordered coffee with a coffee cake and cinnamon buns. They were a good size, very moist and delicious. The service was outstanding. Friendly, welcoming and helpful. We also met the owner, who was very nice. What blew us away were the food orders that we saw going to other patrons. Portion sizes were impressive. Food covered the whole plate. It was fascinating to watch. We actually regretted not ordering meals, and made a plan to return. Prices were not on the higher side, but matched those portions. Those were two meal portions for sure. And if they taste anything like their baked goods, they will be worth another trip. read more

We visited for a second time, this time, our young adults joined. It was their birthday and we wanted their breakfast to be good. We arrived around 8:30am. We were happy to see they were done expanding. The place is immaculate and the bright art airbrushed on the walls is amazing. We had two cinnamon rolls and an earl gray scone. Both were top notch. The male offspring ordered the Notorious P.I.G. He said it was perfect. The female offspring ordered the Pablo Eggscobar. Another hit. Mom ordered the Dirty South & I ordered the pancake tray. Everything came out hot, and quick. We're making this a birthday tradition. I'm advocating for a monthly visit. I'll let you know if I succeed! read more

I ordered the Dirty South, which is homemade sausage, biscuit and gravy, and an egg on top of crispy potatoes and a vanilla cold pressed coffee. Sooooo delicious! My husband's was a la carte eggs, sausage and a pancake. I think that pancake was the bestest, most fluffiest, I've ever had! Yummmm!

This place had a super friendly atmosphere. You walk in and give your order at the counter and then pick a table to sit at. Most of the concept is self service by getting your own silverware and utensils but the staff there is very to helpful to get anything for you. The coffee was very good and I would like to come back and try their other flavors. The food was very good but comes in big portions. The dirty south was 2 biscuits on top of a pile of breakfast potato's with sauce and gravy poured over with an egg on top and pico de gallo. The yolkster was a pile of breakfast potato's, an English muffin with bacon and over easy egg with a hollindase cheese sauce. The food was pretty tasty but was a lot, it would be nice if they had an option to half the portion because for us it was a lot and we couldn't finish it all. read more
