A brunch spot to suit everyone’s craving: that is what Early Bird Brunch offers.  

Early Bird has five locations across the Omaha metro, three locations across Iowa, and one location in Lincoln, having the closest one to Central on 38th and Farnam, serving up brunch seven days a week from 6:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.  

A friend and I went to the Regency Landing location a couple of months ago wanting to find a new locally owned breakfast spot in Omaha. The restaurant itself is really cool, covered in brightly covered paint and decorations; it was definitely a place to wake you up. 

Upon walking in, the place was buzzing with people. The space looks pretty small, but they have an additional room available to accommodate customers as well as outdoor seating for when it gets nicer out. 

When it comes to the food, it was really good. They have a very detailed and large menu for you to choose from. I got the Ham I Am Benny, which consisted of smoked ham, poached eggs and hollandaise on an English muffin. My friend ordered the breakfast tacos, which came with two tacos with eggs, chorizo, cheddar cheese, Pico de Gallo and avocado crema on corn tortillas. 

The meals came out quickly and the service was good and fast. On top of the meals, we both ordered water, I got an orange juice, and she got a coffee. In total, I believe both of our meals separately were about $30.  

Personally, I really enjoyed the environment and the energy of the place and clearly it is popular among the Omaha metro, but it felt a bit pricey. As a high schooler, I am not looking to spending upwards of $30 on breakfast, especially when I feel the food that we got was not worth $30.  

I would rate the atmosphere and environment of the restaurant 9.5 out of 10, the food a 7.5 out of 10, and the pricing a five out of 10. Overall rating the restaurant in its entirety, I’d give it a seven out of 10.
