We were looking for something new for our Sunday brunch, we stumbled upon this place. It was a busy Sunday and it took a while for us to get seated. We sat at their outdoor front patio overlooking Main Street. Our food was great. Excellent pancakes. It is a downtown Mc Allen gem!

amazing food always hits the spot. Molletes with ham are my go to but everything else is great

Very cutesy, very demure. Nice local and family-owned feel. Right off of Main Street, Birdie Bistro is nestled in a commercial building with nice front patio seating. We found this place looking for brunch spots online. The menu was appealing for us to make the 19 minute drive from our hotel. We parked in the back and entered thru the back door of the building. As soon as we walked into the bistro, the lady behind the counter welcomed us in and said we could sit where we wanted. It honestly felt like we walked into the casa of someone's abuela. Originally, when viewing the menu online, I thought I'd get the chicken and waffles but being the "pancake junkie" that I am, I couldn't resist. And I added the strawberries for good measure. We added a mimosa carafe to enhance the vibes. My pancakes were perfect and the mango mimosa was a great sidekick. Soft instrumental music played in the background at the most appropriate volume. We enjoyed our food and drank mimosas and relaxed there far into digestion. We were allowed to just bask in the ambiance and weren't bothered or harassed. Staff just let us chill. I'll definitely be returning.

We enjoyed this quaint bistro in McAllen. The staff was very friendly and the service was prompt and very professional. They responded to my questions about the menu and cleared up any doubts I had so that I could make my order. I was very happy with my choice. The ambiance was so lovely and I could also see the people around me seemed to be enjoying themselves. I ordered the Southwest Quiche, which was piping hot and super yummy. My side was the roasted potatoes, but these were extremely cold. They were tasty, but still very cold. My husband ordered the chicken and waffles and really enjoyed it. It was piping hot and seasoned well.

The French Toast was perfection! Ambiance giving me Alice in Wonderland vibes definitely coming back to try pastas and sandwiches. Love this place! Service was great. No wait, we were seated promptly. All in all a great experience

Adorable brunch spot if you like enjoying the fresh air and be able to stroll nearby along the other shops of Main Street! The two-story concept gives big city vibes and I love the way they designed it. The inside made me a bit claustrophobic lol (pretty crowded and kinda dark) so I definitely recommend the patio. The service was kind of slow but we also arrived during peak brunch hour. You can pick like three toppings of your choice for the omelette so it was easily customizable. The omelette was pretty light and tasty. Whatever spicy sauce they had on the side made it even better. We also got the molettes and those were honestly the star of the show! I've never had molettes before and the beans on top of the buttery and crunchy bread was delicious. Lastly for dessert we shared a Belgian waffle which was also tasty but a little dry. We ate every bit of the meal and I'd come back :)

Generous lattes with a salmon toast. Delicious! The service was excellent, even though I was annoying with many requests. The ambiance is not my style at all, with girly flowers and old-fashioned decorations, but it makes for a nice change from usual Texas taxidermy. Nice place.

My boyfriend have been here twice now, so this is a combined review. First off, the decor is extremely cute, with a farmhouse chic vibe going on. The service was great both times, as well. We actually had the same person help us both times that we went. During our first visit, I got the southwest quiche with a side of fruit. My boyfriend got the chicken and waffles. The quiche was so good and I would order this one again. My boyfriend was less than impressed when he initially saw the chicken and waffles, but he changed his tune once he tasted it. He said it was much better than it looked. During our second visit, I tried the poblano quiche with the potatoes on the side. My boyfriend got the big bird breakfast with a pancake on the side. This quiche was good, but the southwest quiche was better. My boyfriend was pleased with his meal, and the pancake was good.

Birdie bistro is a very cute place. Stopped by for brunch today and, not only the staff was super nice and welcoming, but also very patient. It took me a while to decide what to order. Not once I felt rushed. I ended up getting their breakfast sandwich with potatoes and it was delicious! Only negative thing (and this has nothing to do with the restaurant itself) was the people a few tables away with the kid watching loud cartoons on their phone without headphones. I wish people were more aware of others while in public. Anyway, next time you're in McAllen, check out Birdie Bistro.
