The atmosphere here is just so lively and amazing, full of botanical plants and just great vibes! However, as much as the atmosphere was amazing, I wasn’t too happy with the quality of their food. I ordered a margarita pizza, as our server recommended. The pizza was lacking some flavour and was weirdly very chewy by texture. Perhaps, next time I can try a different dish and give birdies another chance. Would definitely return for the environment and atmosphere✨.

I recently went to Birdie's for a lunch date with friends. The food was enjoyable, my friends tried the fried chicken sandwich, while I opted for the prawn and scallop paella. We also shared the Birdie's wings and the crème brûlée cheesecake. The wings were decent in flavor but lacked meatiness. However, the crème brûlée cheesecake was the standout, it was absolutely delicious and worth a return trip just for that! While the food was satisfying overall, the service left much to be desired. Our server was notably slow, taking a long time to take our order and bring the bill. We ended up spending almost two and a half hours there, mostly waiting for our server to check on us. I had to wave them down repeatedly, and it was only when a different staff member noticed that I got any attention. The restaurant wasn’t particularly busy, so I’m not sure why the service was so delayed. I wanted to actually tip less because of the service, but I just that the lower option of the tips which was 18% and regret because it wasn’t even worth that. Overall, I’d come back for the food, especially that cheesecake, but don’t go in expecting stellar service.

I've been meaning to try birdies for quite sometime but always forget about it when the time comes. Last night coming back from pumpkins after dark we stopped and had dinner and it was very good! The unholy guacamole was so good, lots of good flavours! Service was good and the atmosphere was good but the music was a little bit loud but understanding it was later on at night. 100% recommend this place for lunch, brunch or dinner!

This meal for 2 cost us $70, would you pay that? We were expecting a bit more quality for the price. The $23 “tacos” had no filling except meat, and the plate of spaghetti and shrimp cost $26 alone. Not worth it. The service was ok and the restaurant was nice but a bit loud. We eat out quite a bit but will not be coming back here.

Had a satisfying early dinner here. This is Earls' 'California' concept, and it definitely had a different, more funky vibe than your typical Earls. Solid Happy Hour menu. The margarita (on the rocks, freshly-squeezed lime) was excellent. Fish taco was great, with a sizeable piece of fish, not greasy at all. Forager pizza was excellent, with really nice flavours of mushrooms & kale. Will be back to try more!

I have seen a few posts about this place when it first opened and seems to be quite positive, so just wanted to give it a try. This was the old location of Earls Lougheed and they have changed up the decor and have a little section for takeout. We were here for happy hour. We ordered: - Fish Tacos $6.75 each, which were one of the better ones that we have had. - The Forager Pizza $15.75, highly recommend. This pizza surprised us, it was so good and it was a lot of pizza for they price - Birdies Wings $15.75, was meh and in comparison, this was a very small dish for the price. Not worth ordering again. - Guava Berry Fizz $7.50, came in a very tall glass, tasted great and presentation was cute - Culture Blueberry Ginger Kombucha $9.75, it was served in the can, which we didn't know and felt that it was extremely overpriced. Service was great. Sam was very attentive and extremely friendly.

The restaurant and the atmosphere are great, fantastic setup and patio with fun music; a good spot for a dinner party, drinks, etc. I would rate this a 4. The service was fine, not poor, not great; a 3 for sure. As for the food I would have to give it a 2.5; the presentation was awesome however the flavour lacked and it was consistent for every meal with the exception of their pizza. I would rate the pizza a 4. I would go back for drinks and pizza only.

I made a dinner reservation for 12 here as a coworker heard it was good. A bunch of coworkers and former coworkers were getting together to catch up which we do every 3 months. Because we were coming after work at 5pm we were able to take advantage of their Happy Hour specials until 6pm. They had 2 beers on tap for $3.75 (10 oz) or $7.50 (18 oz). I chose a 10 oz pale ale since I was driving. They also had a Strawberry Guava Smash which was a popular choice as we had warm weather that day. They also have glasses of wine for $6.75 (5 oz) or $9.75 (8 oz) during Happy Hour. They had 3 pizzas on special. Normally I’d choose a meat pizza but as both were spicy and my throat was feeling a little sensitive, I went with the Forager. It had marinated mushrooms, kale, caramelized onions and white cheddar cheese. It also was a cream based rather than a tomato based sauce. It was surprisingly filling and I had 2/3 of the pizza with leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food and the service was great! I was talking with a coworker and we remarked though it was busy and they were two large tables beside us the place was not overly noisy making it easy to talk and seemed pretty spacious. We all had a great time and would definitely eat here again!

Bright open restaurant. Was able to make a reservation last minute for brunch. Coffee options could be improved as the server stated it s from a machine and therefore no non dairy options. The avocado eggs Benny was delicious especially the pavé potatoes, the salad that came with it was extremely dry. Overall would still return but definitely has some areas of improvement.

I came here for my birthday recently and I was left with very mixed feelings. Despite the food I ordered (birra tacos and marg pizza) tasting decent. The service just left me disappointed. The waitress was very distant but she wasn t mean. However when she found out it was my birthday, the service didn t really get any better. No birthday treat, which I shouldn t expect but I was surprised. The atmosphere was definitely the selling point. I would go again for the food but I would set lower expectations for service . Happy hour is also fantastic deal!!

Unfortunately many issues. Had dirty glasses on our tables, then poured us water with black flecks in it. I am not blaming the servers but the entire establishment. Asked for a medium poached egg and got hard. Disappointing meal and service for the price.

Went here for the first time for dinner. I ordered the paella and while it was good it was not good enough to justify the price ($35) in my opinion. We also got calamari and that was very good. My family members dish was also quite expensive for the dish and overall I would say this place might be a better place to go for drinks/appetizers than dinner as I feel they charge premium prices but the food is only good.

Our party and i attended birdies on Nov.30th and we were greeted by maddie. The restaurant was full but she accommodated us very well and assisted our party with really good energy. She went above and beyond, we were very appreciative and we truly valued her service. Thank you Maddie and we ll certainly be back.

Some interesting choices on the menu but a little hit and miss. We liked the fish curry. Not impressed by zen noodles or potatoes brava. Our friends risotto came with mushrooms which was not in the description for the dish. That was random. She doesnt like mushrooms so that threw her off. Nice decor and atmosphere, probably the main reason to go, but also perhaps a bit of a noisy room depending when youre going. The guava sour was great and the cheesecake was good too.

Food is ok, nothing special, our server Tia was awesome. Service only 4 star because the staff sat a family right beside us while all the other tables were available. We felt it was not very considerate, we were hoping for a little more privacy, and the restaurant was almost empty at the time, maybe there are reservations after, we did hear a table singing happy birthday. Am I being a Karen? LOL.

Came to Birdies on a Saturday morning for brunch and unlike a lot of places we were seated right away. Definitely a bonus for a weekend brunch. The food here was pretty good - we had the fried chicken and waffles and the avocado benny. The avocado benny was more like a guacamole benny (a little too much lime in that guac for my liking). Overall experience was good, empty plates all around.

Worth it just for the mini dauphinoise potatoes served in their breakfast plate. Weekend brunch was lovely with a friend. Was there at 10.15am and had the place to ourselves.

This was my first time trying the restaurant with a friend. We had the fish tacos and the scallops, which were perfect. Our server was very friendly and checked in with us frequently to make sure everything was fine. However, we noticed that she seemed to be rushing us towards the end. While my friend was still eating her food, the server asked a couple of times if she was done, even in the middle of our conversation she would interrupted us . obvious my friend was still eating, but she felt rushed and eventually asked the server to take the plate and bring the bill. I found this behavior rude and unprofessional . When I asked her if it s the end of her shift she said yes , she will be done after this.

Good food, with amazing drinks. Its similar to Browns/Joeys but lacks amazing food. The wings were fantastic, but they lack flavor options.

Initially came to have lunch at Earls and found it was now a Birdies so we decided to eat here instead. It was good however my daughter (5) didn t enjoy her food the Spaghetti. My wife said it was good but not to the taste of a 5 yr old. Would be nice if there were any items on the menu aimed towards children. Earls for instance has small portion spaghetti at a cheap price. I didn t see a single item for kids. I had the fish and chips which were perfect and filling with the side of unholy guacamole

Super cute little spot with no waiting if you go early, but fills up quick. The steak was delicious & very well prepared. The tiramisu was the real star, though. Not too much alcohol flavour, just enough to barely taste. It comes covered in a light dusting of cocoa, & lots of chocolate shavings. Perfect! This would be a 4 star review, but the tiramisu made it 5! Our server said was new, but we couldnt tell, she was doing an amazing job. I always have a complicated order & she repeated it back to make sure she got it right. She did! Fantastic service! A couple people in our group ordered the birria tacos, they look like the microwaveable snack tacos from the box in the freezer section at the grocery store. They are very flat with hardly any meat, more like a quesadilla but without cheese. The chicken sandwich was well prepared & looked fantastic, but on the bland side & needed more spice. One weird thing, cocktails are served in cute little bird themed unbreakable tin cans, but the kids apple juice they brought to a toddler was served in a cocktail glass from the bar. Not sure about that one.

I recently visited Birdie s Restaurant and had a lovely experience. The patio is absolutely adorable perfect for enjoying a meal outdoors in a relaxed setting. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. The environment inside is warm and inviting, with a cozy atmosphere that made it easy to settle in and enjoy our time there. The food was good, though not extraordinary. It was well-prepared and tasty, just not particularly memorable. However, the reasonable prices make it a great spot for a casual meal without breaking the bank. Overall, Birdie s is a charming spot with great service and a pleasant ambiance, and I d definitely consider coming back for another visit.

We (4 ppl) were celebrating a birthday at the restaurant on Sept 12 around 2pm. We ordered 3 x Scallop Risotto specials and 1 x Cacio e Pepe. We also ordered several regular and happy hour drinks. The presentation was nice but the Risotto and scallops were quite overdone. Three scallops were cut into half semi-circles and the 6 pieces were plated around the risotto. The Cacio e Pepe pasta was quite overdone and the sauce had split. We asked for fresh parmesan and pepper for the pasta but were given a half portion cup of parmesan (one for 4 dishes) and a pepper mill. The server had come to the table and asked how our food was...everyone replied good but I replied fine. This guiltily triggered a further conversation on ways to improve service and execution of the dishes. We were also emphasized that we were happy to pay for the food and drinks after giving the improvements/suggestions. But a little while later, the manager came over and stated that they took our comments seriously so that they could improve their service/execution and that they would comp our entire meal, drinks included. We were flabberghasted! We left a hefty tip as it was above and beyond our expectations. Kudos to the amazing Service and Managerial Team! If you need our expertise, please give us a call!

Were very happy with our experience and how they turned the service, food, and hospitality around. I went with my niece and bestie. We ordered a bird bath strawberry tequila, a non alcoholic drink for my niece as well as our favourite Chorizo Queso Dip. Pizzas, pastas, burgers and dumplings are terrific and the patio, Id stay is a go-to for the summer season. This review is a bit over due, since we went by in June but thanks to Dom and Matthew, Im sure your experience will be top-notch. CHORIZO QUESO DIP is the BEST!!!! Dietary restrictions: Servers are very attentive to allergies and/or dietary restrictions. They will ask prior to putting in your order. Parking: There wont be any issues with parking as there is a large parking lot. Kid-friendliness: My niece is 12 and she loved it, we sat on the patio and it was breezy and shady at the time. She especially appreciated the variety of non-alcoholic drinks so she can drink something bubbly and summery. Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs on the premises, the restaurant is very accessible.

I recently celebrated my birthday at Birdies, and while my reservation for 24 people on the patio was initially misplaced, the assistant manager, Matthew, truly turned the situation around. Upon arrival, we discovered our reservation was not in the system. Matthew quickly found us two tables inside and another on the patio, but seeing our disappointment, he asked us to wait a few minutes. After waiting for two tables to clear, he promptly arranged a large table for the ten guests who had already arrived and assured us that as more tables became available, he would ensure we could all sit together. Despite the initial frustration, Matthews crisis management skills were exemplary. He offered complimentary appetizers to make up for the inconvenience, and they were delicious. By the end of the evening, he had also given us a gift card for a future visit. The food, drinks, and overall ambiance were fantastic, and everyone had a wonderful time. We also loved the indoor environment, and all of my guests who were new to Birdies are planning to return. Thanks to Matthews excellent service and genuine concern for making my day special, my birthday turned out to be an amazing experience. This is what I call being customer-oriented. I highly recommend Birdies, and we all plan to return soon. Thank you, Matthew, and the entire Birdies team, for making my birthday unforgettable.

Really pretty and chill place. Went with 7 coworkers. Its so gorgeous inside like California vibes. We had Michael as our server and he was amazing! Super cool, not pushy or fake, funny, have us just the right amount of space, got our food out quick. We really felt like he treated us well!. The food was good. I had the poke bowl. While I didnt have the mule or the slushy drink, I tried some and both were really tasty. Id for sure come here on a date with coworkers, with friends. We even saw a family but again, just one. Parking: The lot sucks. Quite small. Youre better off finding parking on the street bergen the ICBC road test area and the restaurant

August 21, 2024

First time dining there, was not impressed. We were told there will be a wait for food due some a technical issue, Kitchen is backed up. We ordered fish taco and dumbing which showed up in 4 minutes after ordering and wasnt very good, not sure if they hold food in a warmer. Waitress was good but never asked how the food was. Would never go again.

Great happy hour menu, cool California vibe, and decent food. BUT make sure you check your receipts closely if you dine during happy hour! Unfortunately, our experience in paying the bill was the worst part of the dining experience. Our large group was there for a birthday party and placed most of our orders for drinks/food before 5:45pm. The waitress came by for a last call on happy hour a few minutes before 6pm and had left our table before 6pm with a few additional orders to ring in. When we got the bill (which was over $550), around half of the food items were charged at full menu price, not the happy hour price. The drinks were all charged at the happy hour price. This was pointed out a few times to the waitress and at first we were told there was nothing that could be done at this point and people had already been paying for their meals. We asked to speak to a manager. The explanation we were given was not satisfactory and it seems like either because the waitress entered in the orders after 6pm or there was an error with the system, nothing could be done to retroactively adjust the prices to happy hour prices. It is quite poor practice to be doing a last call for happy hour if there isnt adequate time to enter the order before 6pm, and then to not point this out either at the time of ordering or when providing the bills. At the end of the night, for those of us who had lingered in the restaurant and dealt with this for about 30 minutes, we received a refund of our original amounts paid and were given new receipts with a few food items removed from them to offset the happy hour price difference. Unfortunately, the majority of our party had already left the restaurant without checking their bills and so they were all over-charged. Not a great way to wrap up a birthday celebration and the way it was handled left a sour taste in our mouth. It was lucky that we had an accountant and a lawyer at the table to notice the issue and sort things out - I can imagine this is not the only time this has happened, so be careful! Edit: I emailed the Manager who responded including more details and a picture of our receipt, but never heard back.

Decided to pop in for happy hour . The restaurant was pretty empty when we walked in but even with that being said there was no hostess waiting and we waited for quite a few minutes before the bartender went to go get the hostess. When we sat down at the table after like one second the waiter comes over and is like are you ready to order, didn t even ask us about drinks or anything. We hadn t even looked at the menu yet. The service was not very good, but the food was worse. The pizza was the worst pizza I ve ever had in my life. We ordered a buffalo chicken and the forager. The chicken on the buffalo chicken was the worst thing I ve ever eaten in my life, it tasted like throw up. It was awful. The rest of the pizza was ok, definetly would ve hated it more if it wasn t the happy hour price. Wouldn t come here again. It may be owned by Earls but it isn t earls. Wish they d turn this location back into earls. Save your time and money and just go to earls/earls test kitchen.

On a random night out we are very happy we chose Birdies, affordable drinks and food but the service was top notch! Love the unholy guac and crispy chicken lettuce yum! But what really made a difference is the service from Dominic and Ella, Ella didnt even hesitate when we ask to be moved tables due to the sun, she was so efficient too, we never waited for our drinks to be topped off. As Dominic, I felt like we were in a friends place just hanging out. Just so warm and friendly! Thank you Dominic and Ella! We will be back for more! Also, that patio is transports you.. like its right beside Lougheed but you dont even notice it!

This place is Super!!! . We have been here a few times now and NEVER to be disappointed! ALL of the servers are attentive and service is just GREAT, and friendly! Kosi-hope I spelled it correctly- was a joy to relate to! The food is really excellent here , and we have now had several menu dishes, and starters tried. I have included pictures of just some of our dishes-menu has extensive choices, and beautifully served, and prepared! The atmosphere here is light and excellent- it fits for quiet mood meals, to family, and any celebrations. It is SO light, airy, happy, many plants, low enough music, CLEAN, big patios, and reminds me very much of being in California! I cannot say enough, and I am sure you will NOT be disappointed! Pricing is fair, and competitive, and portions are generous! The drinks ARE pricey - BUT- REALLY good, and VERY attractive to look at . LOVE it here, and although they ARE busy-there ARE many tables! The restaurant was named after the little birdies lamp at the desk in the last picture! They also have a fair amount of prepared/frozen take out foods sold in a small area here as well. BON APPETIT! Vegetarian options: For certain. Dietary restrictions: Also can be found Kid-friendliness: Definitely Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, off the paths

The restaurant maintained the cozy atmosphere reminiscent of Earls. The menu offered a good selection, and I decided to try the Chicken Avocado salad. However, my excitement waned when I received a plate with small portions of both chicken breast and avocado. Considering the $26 price tag, I had expected more protein and avocado. Regrettably, this experience has left me with no desire to return, especially since other guests at my table also expressed dissatisfaction with their meals. If you re looking for a better dining experience, perhaps exploring other restaurants or even making your own hearty chicken avocado salad at home would be a great idea!

Amateur Hour At Birdies. Had a great meal. Finished my beer. After about 15 minutes it was clear the server was not going to ask if I wanted another beer so I asked her for one. 10 minutes later the beer was still not forthcoming. I chatted with my group for a few minutes and then caught the attention of some random server walking by, informed her I have been waiting some time for my 18 Oz beer. A couple of minutes later our own server came by and asked you didnt get your beer? I thought rather pointlessly, since another 10 minutes or so passes and I see that our server is very busy doing a lot of things except bringing me my beer which I have been waiting for for about half an hour now. I decided to go to the source, to the bartender and I said Ive been waiting over 20 minutes for a beer and I expect that it will be taken off my tab at this point. There was another server next to him. Their reaction was one of pure disdain. Clearly I was annoying them. Instead of saying okay sorry will bring it right over, the bartender said well I have a lot of drinks to make. If anyone thinks this is appropriate customer service then I have to question what they are used to, because even McDonalds is better than this. One time at The Keg it took about 15 minutes for my beer to come and the manager herself brought it over apologized and paid for it. I did not in anyway expect that but I appreciated the gesture. Birdiess, on the other hand, put me in a position where when the bill came they had still charged me for the beer I had waited 30 minutes for and now I was supposed to call the manager? In front of my family and make a scene or whatever? The waitress, bizarrely, pretended like nothing had happened. She didnt even say a simple, sorry about that. Unprofessional and immature; these staff members were all very young (obviously didnt see the manager) but Ive experienced plenty of young professional staff elsewhere. Yes so what its only a beer one could say, but I can also confirm their attitude seemed to be so what, its only customer.

I have been here a few times on a Monday and it seems to be a hit or miss all around. This time we had an issue with our table on the patio being super lopsided, with the satff not knowing how to fix it. Then being moved to a table near the highway and smelling exhaust the entire time, and then not being asked about out meals or drinks until we chose to move to another time until they noticed. Pizza was mediocre, margaritas seemed watered down.. maybe it was due to the rush of happy hour?

It was my first time trying Birdies. My friend and I were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere in the restaurant. It felt as if we were transported somewhere in California a nice change from the typical restaurant experience in the area. We had trouble choosing from the menu because everything looked so good. We ended up deciding on the Cacio e Pepe with a side of scallops, Guacamole and Salsa, and Buffalo Chicken Pizza The food was full of flavour and we especially enjoyed the Guacamole and Salsa! The pasta was a bit on the colder side but the restaurant was quite busy so it might have been a contributing factor. It was also very nice that there was a big parking lot available for customers. Excited to come back and try some more!

This place is awful! We had to keep flagging down our server she never came to our table otherwise. The food was horrible, chicken undercooked, oil wasn t hot enough for frying so the fish tacos were drenched in oil, and our steak was so over done that we couldn t cut through it with a steak knife. I really can t believe Earls owns this establishment. Lack of training and care from the staff both FOH and BOH, it s like going to a kids restaurant run by teenagers!

The atmosphere and vibe was very pastel and clean. The food was tasty, but I think that it could be better. I had the Huevos Rancheros and it was quite good but the portions were a bit small for me. The best in my opinion was the Foragers pizza which was rich and savoury with all the mushrooms in the best way possible. The dough was nice and chewy and the ratio was perfect with the toppings. I also tried the Chicken and Waffles and it was also very good, but there wasnt enough waffles for all the chickens. However, I think the chicken itself was season and cooked very well. Overall, I quite enjoyed my experience but I think there are little things that could be improved for the food to really push it over the edge and make it THE brunch spot in Burnaby.

A group of 8 of went for lunch and decided to try Birdies. One person in our group found her food a little too spicy for her liking. When brought to our servers attention, he asked her what would she like to have instead. The Brunch Manager also took a moment to speak to her. I didnt hear exactly what he said, but Im sure it was something like. Sorry the food was to your liking. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to make it right for you. Well get it right out to you. And sure enough, her replacement meal was brought within ten minutes and she was able at the same time as the rest of us. We were all very impressed with the way the situation was handled. THUMBS UP! Thank you Moksh for making our first visit to Birdies an enjoyable one. You made us laugh and took good care of all of us! And Kirk, the Brunch Manager, thank you for taking a moment to check in on our friend.
