Gotta love a place that plays bluegrass and has a disco ball! Fun, fresh, friendly and funky. The Hummingbird Cafe in Fairfax is a must try restaurant. ok now. AND they refill your mimosas. ALRIGHT!!! ok now. THE FOOD! Soooooo good. We both enjoyed The Gumbo and Chicken and Waffles. Waffles have garlic butter. Excellent surprise. The spicy syrup paired so well. Ordered a side of whipped cream to add to the deliciousness. Oh my. THE BEST. BOTH. WE ARE COMING BACK!!!

The food was amazing and the portions are crazy so don't be deterred from the price. Totally worth it! I got the PO Box with shrimp which was awesome and the fried chicken Hash was also awesome. They have a spicy homemade salsa that you should buy if you're a saucy person

We stumbled across this restaurant while walking down the street, drawn in by the beignets (!!!) which proved just as luscious and powder-strewn as anticipated. The sandwiches were top notch (a mite spendy) & the service friendlier than most places. We enjoyed sitting outdoors & watching the dog walkers go by.

If you find yourself in the Fairfax area, make sure to stop by Hummingbird cafe for a meal. This charming cafe has a cozy, hometown feel, and it seems like everyone knows each other here. We stumbled upon it by chance for brunch and were impressed with the menu offerings, which included beignets, shrimp & grits, chicken & waffles, and silver dollar pancakes. Every bite was outstanding - the beignets were warm and doughy without being overly sweet, the shrimp and grits were savory and topped with a perfectly cooked egg, and the chicken and waffles were the standout dish of the meal. The waffle was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and the southern fried chicken was some of the best we've ever tasted - perfectly seasoned and battered. The service was also super friendly. We'll definitely be returning, and we recommend sitting at the counter for the full experience.
