Had a wonderful unexpected stop there this morning. Was super excited to enjoy the ricotta toast with a tasty chai. Unfortunately, I was served the avocado toast. It took me a few bites to definitively be like "I don't think this is what I ordered" because I didn't keep a menu with the food descriptions with me. So, it's fully on me for not realizing what happened. While the avocado toast is incredibly, it was the kind of savory I was not anticipating. The carrots and olives are striking though!As always, the staff was kind and patient with two people from out of town. It was kind of quiet and we got the table in the window, which I love. Big fan, as always!

Great place for breakfast in Lawrence. The staff were friendly, fast, and the food was quite tasty and it wasn't traditional tasting. I also really enjoyed the vibes which were a bit eclectic, quirky, making everyone feel welcome. I will be back if I ever have the chance. I just wish I had taken more photos of the food! I think we were just that excited to eat when it finally arrived.

I went to Ladybird for dinner for the first time and it did not disappoint. Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, fish tacos, and lots of delicious fixin's grace the Friday night dinner menu, but to me, the star of the show was the pie. It's always the pie. Tonight I tried the coconut cake and the chocolate pie. Both were extraordinary and delicious! Best idea ever.....dipping into both at the same time to create a coconut chocolate delight. The service was awesome, as always, and the food came out very quickly. If you've never tried Ladybird for dinner on Friday I 10/10 recommend!

I have purchased a couple of "KEY LIME PIES" (in the past) that were outta this world delicious, from the key lime filling to the best graham cracker crust ever. I heard about their Friday night Fried Chicken so we brought some friends and tried it out. Well I thought nothing could get better than the pies but..... This fried chicken is fall off the bone tenderest tastiest chicken I've had and so is the mac and cheese. Everything we put in our mouth from this meal was fresh, tasty, hot and delicious. It's a quant, little diner with fast friendly service. The Expresso Martini is one of the best Ive had too.... I highly recommend and we'll be back again soon!!!

@ladybird_diner We had the Nut butta toast - which was a multigrain French toast with cherry coconut cashew butter, fig, yogurt, sliced bananas and honey ( yes it was as good as you think it would be. Look at the pictures.). We also had the chicken buttermilk fried chicken sandwich. Huge just a huge sandwich. It was fantastic. And I always want to try biscuits and gravy and they were very good, could have used ,maybe, a little more pepper or spice but very good biscuits and gravy. Maybe next time I'll try some pie since they're known for their pie Great service start to finish, cheers to the staff and management

Small. Quaint. Loud. Busy. Sunday late morning. Took a while to get seated but we were informed of the wait time. Waiter was friendly. Good variety of choices. Hard time deciding. Food was great. I'd eat here again. Bacon was fantastic !!

An absolute gem of a diner on Mass Street. This place usually has a wait but we timed it perfectly. The large order of chicken fried steak was in fact large. Very tasty cube steak thick and moist with a delicious chicken fried batter. Eggs came out perfect and the gravy and potatoes were a perfect score. The chicken sandwich was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Great selection of pies for dessert or to just have with a cup of coffee.

I honestly don't understand the good reviews of this place at all. The food was bad--my son's bacon was burned, and his over easy eggs were hard. Even if cooked correctly, it's just very basic breakfast food. We asked that the eggs be redone, and they did those right away, acknowledging that they were over cooked. We were sitting at a table on the way into the kitchen and my son was almost hit in the head with a garbage bag that was being taken out back. We moved his chair to between the tables instead of in the walkway. They were not polite when they told us to move it back while getting the table next to us ready to seat. And our server told us and the table next to us that they are understaffed because someone called in sick. Our service was indeed very slow, but we hadn't said anything about that. We won't be going here again.

Cool spot for an excellent breakfast. Fantastic service with perfectly made breakfast food. My family of five enjoyed this place during a visit to Lawrence, KS.
