Early Bird Brunch

Early Bird Brunch is a modern take on the classic diner, serving chef-forward brunch dishes and brunch-centric cocktails. Known dishes mentioned include cinnamon roll pancakes, hearty egg bakes, fresh baked pastries and bacon, and chicken fried steak, with several bloody Mary variations on the drink menu.

The restaurant opens early every day at 6:30 AM and runs a Flocktail Hour with half-off cocktails from 12:30 to 2:30 PM. Online ordering is available for takeout, and the restaurant also prepares brunch boxes for gatherings with pickup orders. It's at University Avenue in West Des Moines and gets busy on weekends, so guests often arrive early.
