I did actually come back here for dinner and it was fantastic. I got the roasted chicken, which was quite possibly the most delicious roasted chicken I've ever had. It was a half chicken, succulent, flavorful, perfectly seasoned. The creamed potatoes were fluffy and delicious, well balanced with the excellent gravy adorning the plate. The spinach was just the same as the rest, excellently cooked, lovely flavor. And to top things off, the cornbread provided was amazing, and the cheesecake was the best ever. To sum it up, definitely one of the best restaurants in Marin. read more

If I didn't live 5 hours away this would have to be my go-to breakfast joint. They've got a pretty impressive menu with a cornucopia of options for all to eat, enjoy, and live harmoniously, if only just until you're able to walk again after a filling breakfast. HELLOOOO coconut banana pancakes!!!! Yum. read more

This place is amazing! Thanks to other yelpers, we found our way here. Brought my mid-western farmer Dad to California for a wedding. He was very impressed with this homemade lunch. The burger he ordered was huge but he managed to eat most of it! I opted for the Healthy tuna and cole slaw. Cole slaw was some of the best I've had ever. The tuna sandwich was soooo yummy. However, it was also so big that I only ate half but was excited to take the leftovers for the plane ride home! We love northern CA and will definitely be back to visit Barefoot and try some other dishes. It looked to be a popular breakfast spot. The acoustics are not so good so expect loud inside. read more

Great restaurant and it's nice to eat at a high end eatery in Fairfax. This place is a true gem delivering great value at reasonable prices. The owner is very friendly and it's a regular eating spot for my family. I particularly like the breakfast, but they also have a great hamburger (best in Marin) and lasagna. read more

Cute place, good service, average food. I ate Chicken Parmigiana and the meat was not what I expected; mashed potatoes and side were enjoyable. read more

We had an excellant dinner last night at Barefoot Cafe. We first tried the Beet salad, which was very good although I am not a huge fan of Rugula lettuce. I ordered the Roasted Chicken with mashed potatos and gravy, that is some true comfort food... my wife wisely chose one of the specials - Oyster stew. They were both delicious, perfectly cooked and presented but the stew was the star of the evening. Service was accomplished by one very efficient waittress. The two prep-chefs prepared the meal, while an owner-looking-chef-dressed fellow hovered around and looked on. Atmosphere was perfect, it is a very comfortable establishment. We will definitely be going back, in fact we made reservations for Christmas day. read more

Came here on the Yelp recommendation. AWSOME! Corned beef hash was, without a doubt, the best I have ever had. Huge hunks of beautiful braised corn beef with roasted peppers and caramelized onions. Perfectly cooked egg and great, strong, coffee. Will drive here from SF for breakfast again! read more

I wish this place was closer to my house so I could try more of their food. I had chocolate chip pancakes, bacon and eggs. I slept on the car ride home - very satisfied. read more

I was in Ross hiking and stumbled across Barefoot on Mother's Day. Their menu is impressively extensive. Lots of options to choose from, but I opted for the tuna melt and a smoothie. It was delicious!!!! read more

We intended to go for lunch, but they were still serving breakfast so we ordered some breakfast dishes also. The service was good and huge portion sizes. Fresh ingredients, simple menu, all in all, a great lunch/brunch location. read more

Hmmmm let's see mimosas, great selections, fresh & great service. They use fresh crab for scramble & crab egg benedict. Killer good!!! Get the crab egg ben! read more

I generally eat at the Italian place across the street when I visit Fairfax. I think the windows just called to me to stop in this weekend and I was so glad I did. I came for dinner and as I can see from reviews the breakfast is a hit too. I ordered mussels and clams for an appetizer and the broth of white wine, garlic, vinegar and butter was magnificent along with the portion size. We were trying to stay away from bread but they brought out cornbread and to be honest neither of us could say no to that.. and it was sweet and moist (the only thing I could have wished for was that the butter was a little softer so I didn't make a crumble mess all over the table) I ordered the pork chop with currants and my mother ordered he red snapper which was the special. It was a satisfying and well executed meal, so fresh and comforting all at once. I could hear Tony the chef who came an introduced himself cooking in the open kitchen behind me. I was so glad to know someone loved what there were making because you could feel it in how everything was brought. I saw the couple behind us get the cannoli, and I kept trying to convince my brain to override my stomach and its fullness so that dessert would be ordered. In the end I had to say no, and lo and behold the waitress brought us the cannoli, it was chocolate chip and the shells were so freshly made it made me so happy. We brought it home and even my grandmother said this was the freshest shell she has had also. So end of my story, come here for dinner and order the specials, this is a fine establishment. read more

Really delicious fresh food in a relaxed, cozy, atmosphere. Generous portions at reasonable prices. My favorite Marin restaurant. read more

Brunch was fantastic. Lots of options to meet every palate and excellent quality dishes with generous portions. Highly recommend the blueberry pancakes ... truly amazing. Perfectly situated in the heart of Fairfax, Barefoot Cafe is a welcome and at home atmosphere with service that says "we care". You can't go wrong with this place. It does not disappoint. read more

YUMMY EASTER BRUNCH. We drove up from SF and it was a treat not only was Fairfax a friendly warm and welcoming town the good food that came out of both my trips has just been well worth the adventure up there. My husband and I went to Barefoot Cafe the staff where incredibly nice especially for a busy holiday with business booming in this joint. But the veggies benedict was awesome and they give you hand made salsa verde to put on your goodies and its yummy too. We both loved what we got and we loved chatting with the people dining next to us. it was perfect. read more

I'm not often in the area but we stop by Barefoot Cafe almost everytime we're in Fairfax. My mom and I have food allergies and we enjoy picking up their balsamic vinigraitte because the ingrediants are all safe for my mom's dietary modifications. For lunch I'll usually go with their bun-less turkey burger with sweet potato fries. For dinner, I've had the lamb medallions which were delicious- they were cooked medium-rarish, exactly how I like them. And it will take many more trips before we ever are able to sample their very extensive breakfast/brunch menu! read more

Great little restaurant! Lots of vegan and omnivore options and all are tasty. Had the portabella sandwich with super fresh salad - delicious! The owners are also really nice. Cute place! read more

Extremely good, probably my favorite breakfast spot in Marin. Had awesome breakfast there and my husband's tuna sandwich was outstanding. Nice people, owner was around and interacting with customers, which is always nice I think. read more

Any hash dish here is delicious and the banana nut pancakes are mouth watering. The service is decent although ONE young waitress once gave sub standard service to the people of color while an obviously wealthy white woman was given almost excessive attention, the rest of the staff was great. Laid back atmosphere, I will be a repeat customer and would recommend. read more

I have been meaning to write this review since Friday. I have to praise the Greek omelette and potatoes I had. They were both the best omelette and the best potatoes I have ever had anywhere... Bar none. Seriously. Brilliant! I understand the mango mimosa was pretty awesome too! read more

This Restaurant is a perfect place to have a nice causal dinner with family and friends. The owner Tony is charming and very entertaining, our waiter Ty was phenomenal. What ever food you select will turn out amazing and will want you to come back more and more to have more delicious food. read more

Food here is unbelievably delicious. Service was excellent too. Must try if you are in the area.

Artsy breakfast and lunch diner. It has an amazing staff and the restraunt is immaculate. A definite go-back for when I'm up here again!

My friend and I came here for dinner after a long hike and the food was delicious! We got the caprese salad and angel hair pasta dish to split, and it was the perfect amount of food. Good ambiance and great service by Ty!! read more

Barefoot Cafe was surprisingly great. My friend and I decided to have brunch here one lazy morning. I love eggs benedict, so I thought I would give theirs a shot. I was very pleased. The hollandaise sauce was perfect and I could actually taste the lemon. It seems like when I order eggs benedict at other places, they never get the hollandaise right. The poached eggs on top were just right. The potatoes that came on the side were good as well. My friend loved her omelet because they did not skimp on the fillings and the bacon was not too salty. She really liked her cappucino and I loved my mocha. I can't wait to return! read more

The Barefoot Cafe is very central Marin. A tired mix of casual elegance that is so boring. Be funky or upscale; I appreciate both. The breakfasts, however, were very tasty. I had the Greek omelet. Heaps of fresh spinach, Greek olives, and feta cheese. Others had spinach Florentine, pancakes, and a veggie omelet. The potatoes were very fresh with just the right amount of grilled onions. Our foursome all enjoyed our breakfast and agreed it would be worth a return visit. read more

I love this place! I use to come to this same place when it was spankys when I was a kid with a train. Now the space has upgraded to barefoot cafe (appropriate for a hippie town) with fantastic food and great pricing!!!! Me and my family always come here for special occasions and just whenever. The owner Tony is old school and see's how everyones food is and is very pleasant! Try their calamari steak, the best! read more

We love Barefoot Cafe. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, we have our favorites dishes, and they NEVER disappoint. The entire staff (Tony, servers, and cooks) is beyond friendly, and no matter when we go in, we're greeted with familiar faces and big smiles. Oh yeah... the food is EXCELLENT. We eat at Barefoot once every ten days or so, and there has never been anything brought to the table that we didn't love. This is the restaurant we bring out-of-town friends to eat it, where we love to sneak away to for a quiet late lunch on Sunday, and where we never leave hungry. If you haven't been, be prepared to be charmed and full! read more

This place is PERFECT for a weekend breakfast! I highly recommend it. The food, the service, the ambience are all just right.

Cute ambiance, good food, and good service. Prices were a little high for what you get. The California burger was delicious. Fries were a little too done. My partner ordered the TAB (Turkey, Avocado, Bacon) and the cream of artichoke soup. The sandwich was a bit cold, but the soup was on point. Our server was attentive to our needs and the food came out pretty quickly. read more

Really like this place and want to give it more stars but there's one thing...the packets of jam. Everything is fresh but the jam is packets like you find in a greasy spoon diner. I was in there a few days ago having a great meal and the only thing that seemed off was the packets of jam. Maybe just me but seems out of place at an establishment that seems to put real thought into all of its other food items. read more

Searching for a place to dine on a Sunday night after a day at Pt. Reyes, we ventured into the Barefoot Cafe. A pleasant surprise. Lots of food, solid service, reasonable prices. Had a hanger steak special while my friend had the salmon on the menu. Neither of us could finish. Both entrees were tasty and served quickly from the open kitchen a feet away. IF we're ever in the hood again, definitely will head back. read more

Fire food best resteraunt in the area, definitely worth trying. I recommend the salmon and steak, also the custard with rasberry sauce is outstanding Tyrone gave excellent service. read more

Nice place in a very quaint little town. Delicious almond & pear pancakes! Eggs & potatoes were also good. Really enjoyed this places and will go back if in the area again! A million times better than the IHOP a few miles down the road!! read more

We had the most amazing meal here last night. Steak calamari was cooked to perfection. Linguini with clam sauce ... packed with flavor and tons of clams. Seafood risotto again was cooked to perfection and not skimpy on the seafood ... finished off the meal with a fabulous Italian custard. Staff and chef top notch read more

Love this place! Both owner and server were gracious and fun. The food is delicious. It's cozy, charming AND has good coffee. Acoustics good for conversation and original artwork adds to the charm. read more

Salmon is amazing. Perfectly seared. I'll be coming back just for that. Ambiance also added to my partner and I having a pleasant time. Service was attentive, rapidly responsive, inviting, and quick to please. Food tasted fresh and you can't help but imagine all the love, time, and effort the kitchen put into making your dish. I'd definitely go out of my way to come here again. read more

First, you walk in and Tony greets you like an old friend if you have been here before. If it is your first time - he makes you feel welcome and comfortable so that by the time you leave you feel like a regular. My sister had the organic roasted chicken and it was perfectly cooked. tender, juicy, and seasoned well. It was served with fresh sauteed spinach and potatoes. It was a large serving and she had enough for her lunch the next day even after we all tasted it. My brother in law and nephew had the baby back ribs with coleslaw and fries. They were happy and had a pile of rib bones between their plates to prove it. My brother and I were both in the mood for a burger. We both chose the California burger and it definitely was enjoyed. The burger was served on a rustic ciabatta bread with avocado, cheese, tomatoes,etc. Barefoot offers a lot of Italian inspired dishes also as well as fresh Mediterranean style dishes and has an extensive list of specials that all sound delicious. It was my first time there and I plan on trying them again - especially since I didn't try a dessert on this visit! The restaurant in in an older building with high ceilings, ceiling fans, lots of big open windows, and an open kitchen. You can see and smell the food being prepared. read more

We love Barefoot! Great place for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Always friendly service!

This is easily my favorite restaurant in Fairfax (and there are quite a few good ones here), and one of the best in Marin County. While the dinner menu is pretty good, the lunch/breakfast menu is superb. I order off it even when we go for dinner. Every dish I have tried is really tasty. Some of my favorites are the rosemary chicken sandwich, the tuna melt (yum - fresh tuna!) and the generous hamburger. The caesar salad is a great side, as are the delicious garlic fries. read more
