Eggplant sandwich
Jonathan L.

Located downtown Fairfax in a really cool neighborhood. There is a big parking lot across the street with free parking. The cafe is right on the corner. We were able to get a table in the morning without any reservations. Ordered: 1. Corned beef breakfast: I liked my corned beef and i liked that it was in big chunks rather than it being really fine strips were it's soggy and mixed into hash browns. It was seasoned well and went well with the potatos. Also cooked my poached eggs well! 2. Egg Plant sandwich: My wife really liked this and the eggplant wasn't too muchy but also very flavorful. Overall, service was good and they were polite and attentive. Clean restaurant. The prices on their website isn't reflective of their menu however and it's more expensive on the updated menu in the restaurant. They also do have more options in the restaurant as well. Solid breakfast choice in Fairfax.

Excellent selections for breakfast & brunch. We needed to find s new breakfast place and Barefoot Cafe won our hearts. The food was hot, delicious and plentiful as well. But the service was impeccable. We appreciate you, BC!! Thank you!

A wonderful breakfast in the adorable little town of Fairfax. This is a very clean restaurant that is nicely decorated and very comfortable. Their menu is well rounded and the service was both attentive and thoughtful. I'm sure the lunch and dinner experience is equally good, and I'm excited to return soon. 5 stars.

Chilaquiles, banana pecan waffle and a cappuccino
Brandon C.

Food was pretty good but extremely pricey for what I got (chilaquiles, waffle and cappuccino). Nice, lively location with outdoor seating and the waiting staff were all really nice, but most likely will not be coming back.

Great Warm Spinach Salad
Richard T.

The salads here are really exceptional. I had the Warmed Spinach Salad, which includes bacon and mushrooms. It's incredible! The light dressing and generous amount of spinach made it one of the best I've ever had. Highly recommended!

The service here is amazing ! They're kind and quick with service. I got the burger the chef make the food amazing and they have cute little table decorations. I got an espresso martini and it was great

Chicken Marsala

We stopped in for a quick and simple dinner but we were so pleasantly surprised! The food was incredible! The chicken Marsala (shown), New York steak with herb and lime butter (so unexpected and delicious), rack of lamb and bucatini with meatballs were all extraordinary! Ty was our waiter and was friendly, knew everything about the menu, and gave us great suggestions! Perfect evening out! Highly recommend this place

Pappardelle pasta

The food was absolutely phenomenal, some of the best pasta I've ever had. And such an amazing price with huge proportions !! The staff were so kind and talkative and the service was so quick. The place also had such an amazing vibe with all the plants and decorations. The best restaurant I've been to in the local area and will 100% come back next time in around here.

Barefoot Special
Benjamin C.

Barefoot Café I've always driven by Fairfax but have never stopped for a bit until today! Coming back from a backpacking trip from point Reyes I was starving. I got the Barefoot Special (20.95), which came with sautéed mushrooms, onions, and blue cheese. The portion was generous, with a hefty 1/2 pound of meat, but it was a bit too overbearing for my taste. The side Caesar salad was a nice touch, adding a refreshing balance to the meal. The sautéed mushrooms were done well and added a good depth of flavor. Solid meal overall. Staff were wonderful as well. I don't think I've ever had a burger that filling.

What are the glutton free options at the barefoot cafe in fairfax ca?

When we were there , they dio d not have any specific glutton free menu items, however when we inquired, they said they could easily drum up a glutton free version of most items on the menu and they did so for two of our party.

Beautiful setting and sweet, accommodating staff but limited menu, mediocre food and high prices…read more Not much for vegetarians. And they charge an additional $2.50 for any drink served up in a martini glass! I'm not talking a large capacious martini glass but a tiny old-school one. My friend and I ordered the same drink (same booze) and hers was $2.50 more for the same quantity of liquid. This is strange. Not only have I bartended for years, but have been dining out for decades and have never seen a charge like this. Decor is out-dated too. Weird joint, not going back.

A real disappointment. We are long time fans of the original deer park, and were sorry to see it…read morego, but truth be told it had been going down hill for some time. When they reopened as the bootleggers lodge, we were excited to give it a chance, though the menu was not encouraging. Everything on there looks like it could be on the menu at TGI Fridays. Calamari, chicken wings, sliders, French fries. Total garbage, in other words. It's edible, but about what you'd expect at the airport hotel in Tulsa. The service was also indifferent (sat for 20 minutes without drinks) and the prices haven't come down. The proprietors were kind with their words and generous with excuses for the restaurants shortcomings, but that doesn't change the bottom line: we won't be back. One star for still having a lovely, romantic setting, and one more for having a liquor license. That's about all they currently have to offer. Avoid.
