Crowded but we parked right up front, got on the list and eased out to wait in the comfort of our car. App updates ran accurate and we were seated in a perfect location. Our server JT (according to the ticket) was super cool and put us at ease as first timers and offered some great suggestions. I had the cathead chicken biscuit, well half but the second half went down later at home. We split the coffee cake and Mrs scooped up a Creole omelette. Food was everything it could be and more. Oh, I almost forgot the added blueberry jam I put on the coffee cake, and after the ride home the cake soaked up the blueberry jam liquid, OMG let's just say that's how it should be served. All in all a great experience piloted by our capable server and guaranteed with nice size portions of really good food. This is on the rotation now.

My husband and I love this place. We were impressed on our first visit when the server (after we…read moretold her it was our first time here) brought us samples of their three homemade gravies and one biscuit. We were floored by the robust flavor of each of the homemade gravies. They have a tomato gravy, a sausage gravy, and a redeye gravy. The texture of the gravy was not too thick and none of them were greasy. We each ate a plate of homemade biscuits and in-house made gravy. Although the biscuits and gravy seem like a small serving, the dish is really an adequate meal. Overall, the flavor of the food and the friendliness of the staff solidified our making this restaurant our breakfast place when we visit Mobile.

The service can be a bit unpredictable, and the coffee isn't very flavorful, but that doesn't stop me from loving it, mainly because of the Breakfast Brisket Scramble. It's full of flavor, really filling, and the kind of meal you end up craving days later. No restaurant is perfect, but The Toasted Yolk nails the important stuff: the food. If you're grabbing breakfast or brunch, do yourself a favor and order the Breakfast Brisket Scramble. It totally makes up for the little flaws elsewhere.

Stayed anyway because server and hostess were good and atmosphere was cute. I ordered a Power Bowl called the Garden Breakfast Bowl (I knew my mom ordering traditional breakfast for me to sneak bites from). I was hoping for healthy crunch and boost to my day. The vinaigrette was too much for the fresh veggies, bulgar wheat and quinoa. I'm not sure what you would put on that power bowl but that dressing was not it. It had too much of it as well. The veggies and avocado were fresh and ratio of other fillers was good. I wouldn't get it again though. Like I said I took some bites of my mom's traditional breakfast. Eggs cooked correctly, bacon was too, Belgian waffle was very good- fluffy and sweet. Pancake was basic. Overall, the whole experience was basic honestly. I wouldn't turn down if invited there but not going back on my own.

Now, maybe the food would've been better had we gotten there earlier (as they are more of a breakfast/brunch spot) but this place should consider taking "biscuit" out of the name. We ordered two biscuits with eggs and both biscuits were hard, dry and flavorless. If I ever made it back to Maple Street, I'd try anything on the menu other than their biscuits, which is a shame considering we were looking forward to good breakfast sandwiches.

This is a nice restaurant serving Gulf seafood and Southern cuisine with sustainable sourcing. According to the restaurant, it was a James Beard Foundation "Smart Catch Leader" three years in a row (2021-2023). Also, executive chef Jim Smith was nominated for the 2026 James Beard Award for Best Chef: South. The restaurant is located in the Oakleigh Garden Historic District, a quiet neighborhood in the downtown area with oak-lined streets and Victorian-style homes. The Hummingbird Way has that clean, modern, "farm-to-table" look and fits right in. I had dinner with a group of seven on a Thursday night around 7pm. We left before 9pm. During our visit, the restaurant wasn't very busy. We had the back room all to ourselves. Here's what I had: Libations (cocktails) * The Hummingbird ($12) - gin, St-Germain, soda, lemon, and lime Oyster Bar - Raw - $3 each * Murder Point (AL) * Grande Batture (AL) * Wild 504s (LA) * Farewell Cove (ME) * Fire Lake (PEI) * Shigoku (WA) Biscuit Service * House Buttermilk Biscuits ($10) - with whipped butter, cane syrup, and smoked sea salt Soup * Turtle (LA) Soup ($20) - sherry, farm eggs, and herbs Starters * Late Harvest Tomato Salad ($18) - mascarpone, cucumber, spring onion, shaved zucchini, sherry saba, and pickled herbs * Yellowfin Tuna Crudo (AL) ($24) - Galia melon, coffee, walnut, EVOO, sweet pepper, basil, whole grain mustard, lemon, and black pepper Mains * Oyster Omelette ($20) - rolled French omelette with fried oysters, creme fraiche, arugula, and herbs; added caviar (+$24) Dessert * Chocolate Chip Cookies for the Table. $3 each. * Blind Faith cocktail ($16) - peanut-infused Bumbu rum, Abita root beer reduction, and chocolate orange bitters In general, from the food to the drink, everything was delicious and presented beautifully. I love raw oysters and thought the oysters here were terrific -- fresh and flavorful. I loved how the biscuits were served with both butter and syrup. I think I liked the Turtle Soup more than anyone else who tried it. It wasn't bad, and I thought it was worth ordering. Our server Liz W recommended the Tomato Salad to me because of the mascarpone and I thought it was a great recommendation. I was disappointed in the portion size of the Oyster Omelette, particularly because it was listed as a "Main." Liz told us the caviar was Russian Osetra. I did find the omelette to be a bit heavy because the oysters were fried, so maybe that's why it was small. In hindsight, I would have chosen a different entree like the Butter-Cured Double-Bone Elk (NZ) Chop with English pea puree, charred red okra, and port wine beet sauce ($60), which one of my friends got. It looked really good. The warm Chocolate Chip Cookies were fantastic, as was my dessert cocktail. If you're looking for a tasty dessert cocktail, the Blind Faith is a good one to get. To give you an idea of other menu offerings and price points, some of my friends had the Fried Alabama Blue Crab Claws with cocktail sauce ($20), the Alabama Blue Crab Claws marinated with chili, lime, and herbs ($20), and the Alabama Blue Crab Cake prepared with Mississippi rice grits, sweet soy butter, and pickled mushroom salad ($42). Also, someone had the Frog & Waffle, which consisted of chicken-fried frog legs with jalapeno waffle, radish, mustard veloute, and cane-lemon-sherry syrup ($18). I couldn't eat the crab because I'm allergic to it. Service was excellent. Liz was great. The Hummingbird Way Oyster Bar opened on January 7, 2020.

It was a Friday night and the music was loud, you can sit at the bar or at a table. It was several people eating in. We decided on the Wings with Cajun Nawlins fries, and the Bando Nachos. The Bando has a full menu and bar. The service was great and it wasnt a long wait for the food. I asked for sour cream and salsa for the nachos and they didn't have any so I stopped by the store to get some. I was super excited to try the food. It was super salty. Everything was salty. I tried to move past it because I was so hungry but it completely dried my mouth out and I had to stop. I was really disappointed. Experience 2: 4* We had to go back and give it another try before I left and I'm so glad we did! We had brunch. I had the Chicken and Strawberry Crack Waffle and my friend had the Lamb Chops, Shrimp and Grits. Everything was so good! Big A came to greet us and we told him about our food a few nights before and he explained that the meat is marinated and they probably seasoned it again. He was very apologetic. He told today would be better and he would ensure it. The food was fresh, hot and tasty! We really enjoyed it! We also got some gumbo to go and it was really good! I would definitely return if I was in the area!

Came here Sunday May 3rd around 1pm. Was busy but not completely full where you had to wait for a table. We sat down and waited for our server to take our order. It took our server about 20 mins to come over and take our order. So we put in our food order when the server came by to take our drink order. Food took about 40 mins from when we ordered to when we got our food. I used to work in restaurants (the busiest of restaurants) and know that you should staff more, prep more, and place larger food orders in anticipation of being fully booked friday night till sunday night. I ordered gumbo. My niece got biscuits and gravy. The gumbo was pretty good except would have liked the roux a little thicker. The gravy on the biscuits was lacking in flavor. I love diners and love supporting locally owned businesses. Maybe some staff called off this particular day because the service was slow. But I wil be back.
