We ordered take out to deliver to our vets at Fairfax Vet Clinic. We ordered both the regular and everything gumbo, chicken and waffles, fruit, and a couple other fan favorites. Our order was ready on time. The restaurant wasn't busy at 11:45 am, but service was great. The aroma was off putting. I'm looking forward to trying the food ourselves, as our vets loved it. But, based on the smell that hit me when I walked in, we'll dine outside or order takeout.

The food is unwaveringly delicious. Not only can you get gumbo, beignets, po' boys, but several gigantic healthy salads are available. Service with a smile, locals and tourists alike love this place. Michelle's spectacular photos on the walls give pizzazz. Closes at 3 pm

It was MLK Day and a friend brought me to brunch. We have been once before, at least for myself. It's a quaint cafe with New Orlean's vibe. So I had a cup of Red Brans & Rice and a serving of fried oysters. Not necessary a tradition breakfast fare. . My initial bite of the red beans and rice was glorious. And fried oysters were on the smaller size and fried well, dipped in the accompanying sauce, they were wonderful. To the end the meal, beignets were ordered. Dipped in coffee made them more delicious. The service was attentive and friendly. It was nice brunch on this holiday.

Always amazing fare. I enjoyed the shrimp & grits while my friend had the fried oysters & a side of red beans & rice. Of course, we ended the experience with beignets! The staff is kind and attentive as well. Always a favorite of mine

Our first visit to Hummingbird was not disappointing. We snagged a 3-top right in the window, kind of behind the counter which put us out of the way and gave a great view of everything coming out of the kitchen. And after seeing about a half dozen orders of chicken and waffles come out I knew that's what I was getting. My wife went for the etouffee, and dad ordered the very Cajun dish known as "Bagel and Lox". First of all, the coffee is amazing. Not a tang of bitterness in either the regular or unleaded versions, bold, flavorful - i want to know where they get the beans. The food came and I had to choose between regular syrup, spicy syrup and the remoulade for the chicken and waffles. I tried all 3, but liked the plain syrup the best (OK, maybe I'm a purist here). The combo of chicken, garlic, parsley, waffle, syrup absolutely made my head spin! And the size of the portion was HUGE. I can't vouch for the etouffee, my wife wouldn't let me near her bowl :( She basically licked it clean so Imma going with "she liked it". Dad, who usually takes home half his brunch, also managed to clean his plate. We didn't order beignets, but I will correct that oversight the next time. And oh yes, there will most definitely be a next time. And soon. Service was attentive but not overly so. Coffee was refilled without asking. Owner seemed to know every other patron as they entered the joint which makes me feel like a foreigner here in Marin but hey, Fairfax is a schlep from Novato! Five stars all around.

One of the overall best restaurants in Marin-hands down! They make the best chicken po boy (with no pickles) west of Parkway in NoLo Also their food deals are insanely good-different ones different days. They also do THE best student lunch deal than anywhere I have ever seen as well. The amount of food they give for the $10 student deal is insane. They always have a great play list of music going every time I've been there as well. THIS PLACE ROCKS!

20 min from the Samuel P Taylor State Park. An amazing place to refill all the calories you burned in the hikes and trails What to get : -po boy -shrimp and grits - begneit -pbr for the price -chicken and waffles Shout out to the owner Michelle who sources the best ingredients from around the country to bring such a tasty menu. This is a family owned business on its 15th year in a town h. H mud

I just can't get enough of this place. The vibe here is uplifting to me. I think in part its the music. But, primarily because of the food and people. The staff is joyful and attentive. This time I had the Queen's Salad and just about fell out of my chair. Beautifully presented, and fresh and delicious berries with blue cheese crumbles, topped with mouth watering fried chicken. Prices are reasonable considering how good the food is. I purchased two bags of coffee to give as gifts (or not), one with chicory. Can't wait to try some. If you pay with credit card, you'll pay (what has become common restaurant practice a small additional charge) But, if you pay with cash, you'll get a token for one free beignet. Everyone wins. Nice Touch!

Often when I'm passing through a small town, I don't make rigid plans to eat anywhere. I simply park, walk around (the more the better) and see what I can stumble upon. Enter The Hummingbird, and what a cool stumble it was. Artsy diner vibe with a New Orleans connect, cool photos that seem to have a personal touch, and jazzy/bluesy tunes on pipe. I love how this little downtown-y area of Fairfax has zero chains, everything is independent and quirky. Almanac Kolsch ($9/4*) Came during lunch and it was a very warm day. I got this as I've had it many times and know its a good light bodied beer, that's always good with food. They also have PBR, but I ain't quite anti-culture like that. If I would have come earlier for the breakfast hours, I would have tried one of their coffee drinks. Cup of Everything Gumbo ($13/3.5*) So they have a basic gumbo, which I think is just chicken and sausage. This version has seafood like crab and shrimp. It is a very tiny cup but is actually the perfect size if you want to nosh on something before an entree. It is pricey for the size, but I felt I got enough quality bites that I wasn't that perturbed. Yes it was dark and murky, just like the mighty Mississippi River...the way it should be. That means they properly browned that roux to nutty status. But unfortunately I couldn't taste much of the roux as they spiced the broth with something tangy and slightly sweet. My guess a good dose of Worcestershire. It wasn't bad, just not what I associate with a knockout gumbo. There were also good hits of small plump shrimps and sausage. Never really got any crab except for one spoonful, where I got a chunk with possibly even some crab fat as it was very custard-y. The Peacekeeper Po' Boy ($27/4.5*) Okay I know that price seems really steep for a sandwich. But this is fried shrimp and oyster po'boy and they add a few slices of thick sliced bacon for good measure, ya know to 'keep the peace'. Man when this thing came out, my eyes almost bulged outta their sockets. They put so much fried seafood in this thing that it was part of the presentation for it to be spilling out all over the plate. The skrimps and oysters were not miniscule and were fried perfectly in a seasoned cornmeal coating. So instead of trying to stuff everything back in the sandwich, I just ate the sandwich (which already was stuffed adequately), and I just forked whatever seafood was on the plate. With a few dabs of hot sauce (many are on the table), this made quite the epic late lunch. I was camping down the road, so I went back and napped amongst the redwoods. Imma round up here...no shame son.

Service was nice and food was good. Cute brunch ambiance. What can I say, they make good pancakes. : ) Wish the place had a more obvious sign tho, I missed it once and my friend walked by it a couple times not knowing it's The Hummingbird. Or maybe we're just blind lol.
