Hummingbird - Raleigh

Saturday morning brunch, just a random stop and it was full, but they could sit at the bar. The food was fast and tasty (its house potato chips are legit), the bartenders were friendly and appealing- I would go back here to try them for dinner.

I've never been disappointed. I had the local salad, the salty feta and olives with watermelon, the smoked oysters and the Ricotta dumplings. I loved it all, but became a little jealous when my neighbor's seasonal quiche arrived in search of tomato cake. He destroyed it and said it was a bit like cheese pizza, in a good way. Bartenders were so nice and accommodating.

The atmosphere and the decor were on the spot. Loved the seating, didn't wait, the food came out immediately and the service was decent. I ordered a deep court. It was very undercooked. Extremely white subcarrier and raw dough in the center under cheese. It took forever to get a Re-Cook. The second time was perfect. The undercarriage looked great, but the dough over the undercarriage and under the cheese in the center of the pizza was still diligent and raw. Whatever oven they use is not completely cook any of the pizzas in the middle of the cake. They gave us a free dessert, but certainly not worth $16 for this personal cake. Win a 3 cause other food was big and hot honey hit at the edges of the crust.

Such a sweet spot was brunch. I had the chicken and waffles with an icy latte. The food was great and my server was fantastic! You take reservations and parking are super easy. You have possibilities to eat inside and outside.

We came from out of town for a concert and decided to try Hummingbird on our way back home. We visited on Mother?s Day at lunch time and were surprised to be immediately seated outdoors by a heater. The service was great, but the food lacked flavor and we didn?t think the restaurant lived up to the hype. The biscuits and gravy weren?t actually on a biscuit, it was more like a burnt flatbread. The grits are very clumpy, grainy, and overall flavorless without the cheese. The burger was cooked nicely, but there was no flavor despite the high quality meat. The home fries we cooked properly but had no seasoning. We also ordered a Thai tea it had no cream/milk and was essentially sugar water? and the golden milk latte is okay. We had very accommodating service. Overall, nothing had a good taste and we didn?t even come close to finishing anything we ordered.
