"The food was very good! The amuse bouche was deviled egg with bacon. For the entree I had the crawfish Benedict which was absolutely amazing. The sausage and crawfish were very good. Also had the rosemary orange iced latte which was amazing. One con was that the service was very slow. The bartender was also our waiter so it took a very long time for him to check on us and we waited over 15 minutes for him to bring our check after we asked for it."

"My husband and I visited here for our anniversary for lunch. The food was absolutely delicious. Service was phenomenal and it had a great vibe. Prices were a little on the high side but you’re definitely getting quality food. I love that they use a lot of locally sourced ingredients. Also it was really neat that the kitchen is open and you can see in. We got to see them making croissants. Thanks for a great time!"

"The Hope Farm in Fairhope, Alabama is home to a group of culinary geniuses who are truly God-sent. Every chef there brings a unique flair, guaranteed to wow your palate with every bite. They serve the kind of food that makes you want to do a little dance with every breath. The food tastes like the best dream you’ve ever had. The last time I had a breakfast this good, I was in Paris, France at the famous Angelina’s (est. 1903). I travel the world to discover rich history through delicious meals, and let me tell you—the Hope Farm in Alabama does it better. It’s a culinary phenomenon. They even grow their own ingredients through hydroponics and traditional farming. What more could any of us ask for? This is elevated farm-to-table done right, hitting all the perfect high notes on every plate. Let’s start with the fact that I absolutely hate grits in every shape or form. I wanted to put them to the test by ordering a simple breakfast from The Barn, which came with a bowl of Gouda grits. My word—they made a believer out of me. I cleaned my plate. I devoured their cozy, warm, perfectly made Gouda grits to my surprise. Every bite of their scrambled eggs tasted like paradise. I drove an hour today just because I can’t get enough of their sourdough. I’ve had sourdough in the south of France, Italy, Iceland, Greece, and Switzerland—and I still dream about theirs at night. Their French toast sticks are made from a sinful homemade bread and recipe, with the perfect balance of crunch, cinnamon swirl, and buttery goodness. The only way not to finish your plate there is not to order it. No amount of self-discipline can help you. The bacon was perfect, and they make their own homemade preserves. Their pastries are outstanding. Save yourself a trip to Europe and just drive to Fairhope, Alabama to discover a world where prestige, honor, and food glory meet warm, intricate Southern flavors. Everything I’ve ever ordered for breakfast has exceeded my expectations—and I am a talented private chef. I’ve also had their breakfast flatbread, Eggs Benedict made to perfection and served with perfectly seasoned collard greens, and their burger. If there were a way to give a restaurant 25 stars , I absolutely would. I’ll be a customer for life. A big shout-out to Jake for the best customer service, and to Logan on the Barn side for helping me discover their sister restaurant, Little Bird, located downtown by the square. I had their tuna tacos two weeks ago, and they tasted like butter—which is how you know the seafood quality is top grade. Keep an eye out for my review dropping soon. Your favorite chef from the Golden Pineapple,
Chef"

"We went there for Brunch on Sunday. We didn’t have reservation but they were able to seat us quickly as it wasn’t too busy yet. We have been to The Barn and thought of going there but we wanted to more selection of food so we decided to come to this side. I was happy we did! Everything on menu looked so great and it took us a while to decide. We got the Wagyu smashed burger and brisket French dip and mine was some type of egg dish which I thought it was very good with tortilla chips. We would love to try it at dinner time one day."

"We made the two hour trip from Florida to visit Farihope, AL for our three year wedding anniversary. The Hope Farm was worth a two hour trip alone. This restaurant is intentional and exceptional. The farm-to-table vibes make the experience personal and delicious. The wait staff was patient even on a robust Saturday evening. I only wish we had more time to try their other menus for weekday and brunch. If you find yourself near the gulf in Alabama, please visit The Hope Farm. You won’t be disappointed. Recommendations: Short ribs, Squash ravioli, pumpkin spice latte bread pudding and their version of the French 75."

"We are restaurant owners. This was 100/100 staff is well trained, personable. Bar, excellent. Food, excellent. It’s farm to table done right! It’s not over done, it’s just right. Elevated but comfortable. If we lived here it would be on our weekly rotation. Highly Recommend."

"A really nice food and hospitality experience overall. Creative and fresh. The cocktails are delicious, the food is amazing. The service that we enjoyed at dinner and then at brunch were exceptional. And then I asked the pastry chef to give us a little behind the scenes look at the garden, really topped things off. The attention to detail in the buildings and grounds and even the plates and bowls, did not go unnoticed."
