We had a Sunday reservation and we were seated promptly in their “main” indoor dining space. The area is very very small and you can hear employee conversations. I asked the hostess if there were any other seating options and she shared there was the bar and outside but it was too hot outside. We decided to stay put.

The inside of this place is tiny but the flavors of the food are anything but small. The New Orleans inspired dishes are bold and flavorful. This part diner, part eclectic cafe is an interesting find. It is definitely worth your time to visit.

Wish I could give them EXTRA stars!!!! My husband and I have been coming to Hummingbird every Sunday for a little over a year so it’s safe to say we’re hooked! Their charbroiled oysters, chicken and waffles and ricotta fritters are among are faves but the best part of this restaurant is their staff!!! Dana, Brandon, Raya, Jessica, Kasey, Coley, I could go on, but needless to say they are all the best of the best at what they do and make our visit special every time. We love to see them every week and they take care of us like we’re their family. I couldn’t think of a better place to brunch every Sunday than Hummingbird ❣️ UPDATE: Their summer 2023 menu just came out! Gotta come by and try some of their new items like the shrimp & grits

I finally made it into Hummingbird for dinner and loved it. Brunch is great and dinner is better. My wife and I came in with another couple and we bought too many things and had too many drinks and I regret nothing! The service was amazing and friendly. The chef stopped by our table, she was gracious and patient with all of questions about technique and ingredients. And the food, every bite was delicious. Arugula salad, dressed perfect, melon and cheese, paired wonderfully elevating the flavor. The shrimp creole was rich, salty, with a tiny hint of heat that kept you coming back to it. The au gratin squash might be my all time favorite squash dish. Stand alone squash as comfort food, who knew? The BBQ chicken, also perfect. Dripping with juice, the meat was flavored from skin to bone, paired with the best fried okra I’ve ever had. Finally the bread pudding was straight magic. I’m not sure where Hummingbird is in my personal best restaurants of Raleigh list but it’s in my top three. Totally looking forward doing a lot more research here so I can make up my mind!

The service was impeccable and would come back to visit Easy. The food was ok but eating outside in 90 degree weather made it not so enjoyable.

We celebrated a recent birthday dinner at Hummingbird and will definitely return. Every one of their New Orleans inspired dishes was tasty and presented beautifully. We ordered a variety of small plates and enjoyed them all. Their strawberry meringue dessert was a perfect finish to an outstanding meal. As an added treat, Chef Coleen Speaks sat at our table and chatted with us for a few minutes. She is a really nice person, a gifted chef, and a great conversationalist. Good friends, good food, good times!

Chic little place for brunch and a cocktail. I went around 12 on a Saturday and it was busy, but not packed. I was seated quickly, and staff was perfectly pleasant and personable. We had the banana bread French toast, biscuits and gravy, and a side of home fries (we were a little worried portion sizes would be small, but this turned out to not be the case). The French toast was warm with good banana flavor, and the walnuts gave a nice crunch. The homemade whipped cream was very good, and the orange zest on top gave it a lift I felt it benefitted from. The biscuits and gravy were filling and tasty, if a little on the greasy side. The fried eggs were done just right. Home fries were VERY good, cooked to perfection, and we ate them all even though we were full from the mains. The Dijon sauce was not my favorite, though – a bit punchy. The only complaint I have was about the atmosphere. Despite the fact that it was outside on an extended porch, it was very loud. I’m not sure if it was because of the enclosure curtains, or if people were just having a good time and shouting as a result, but it was very loud, to the point where it was difficult to have a conversation with the person across from me. Altogether, it was a good meal, and I will likely return.

We were a bit let down after all the great reviews. Pros: adorable venue, good variety of breakfast and lunch foods, sat us before our reservation time. Cons: slower service (not a huge deal as I did overhear that they were understaffed when we were there), the small inside dining area was 4-5 tables so the atmosphere was lacking, and the food was very mediocre. We had the huevos rancheros and the beans were very watery and made the tostadas soggy. The chicken (chicken & waffles) was very well fried, but had very little flavor; waffles were a typical Belgian waffle. The (dog-friendly) heated patio was large and seemed to have a better atmosphere so would maybe recommend to make your reservation on the patio, or sit at the bar inside versus the small dining room.
