Farmer & The Cow

This place is the food and drink highlight of my 2025. The year is young but I doubt it will be beaten. My brother and I went here after I read about their extensive whiskey collection. It did not disappoint. However it is one thing to have a lot of bottles. It is an entirely different experience to have John recommending and pouring those bottles. He came to our table, asked us some questions about what we liked and delivered some amazing pours. The food was also incredible. We had the pork belly which I could have eaten all night, the wings which were very good, and the famous chicken skins which lived up to the hype. The OG burger was fantastic and so was the IPA I washed it down with. We ended up closing down the place but they just kept up the master class on bourbon. I can't wait to head back. I do wish they had a kids menu though.

Great place to visit if you're looking for a burger! Appetizer, we ordered the chicken skins and they didn't disappoint. Burgers, I ordered the obligatory - That'll Do Pig, as featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and it was very tasty! The bacon was okay, a bit hard, almost like a jerky. The fries were boardwalk style fries - my favorite! Another plus - they offer a list of mocktails for non-drinkers. Overall, everything was very good and filling.

Stopped by before heading home from a roadtrip. We tried the chicken skins, wings and mac and cheese appetizers, all were good. We also tried the FTC burger and the All That Pig. Also all good. We tried the cookie dough shake, yum! Overall great experience.

VISITED OCTOBER 19, 2024 Great place. Not much to say except the food was great. Typical bar food but not disappointing. The atmosphere was calming and quiet. We visited on a Saturday, early afternoon before a Union game. What did we eat? Taco chips (with some parm cheese and pesto to dip) That’s What Brie Said (side of fries) Bourbon Apple, Prosciutto, Balsamic, Brie $20 Fried Mozzarella with a side of Fries Wouldn’t mind going back to try out more of their appealing menu items!

Excellent local find with great food and awesome drinks. If you’re looking to hang out at the bar or get the best burgers in town for a sit down dinner, this is the place! A must if you’re in Downtown Wilmington

Half pound burgers were amazing. I got the mushroom badger burger (no badgers harmed) with goat cheese and it was amazing! Carolina was a great server and made great recommendations. We will be back. And you... reading this review... should go tonight! Update: second visit: better than the first!

Expensive, but worth it! The portions are big, and the food is delicious. Even the drinks were great with a lot of unique choices. I'd go back just for the sweet potato tots! This burger bar is a definite recommend.

Down here in Wilmington working for the first time and it's been terrible for food, but then I went to this fantastic location. The food was really fresh and flavourful. The bar was full stocked with all kinds of fancy bourbon and whiskey. The staff was friendly and professional. The place was really nicely decorated and comfortable as well. I would classify the food as uppity bar food, but tastefully done. I most certainly will be back

This is the best place to eat and drink in town. Tried several drinks and they were all exceptional! Bar tender took his craft seriously! Food was interesting and delicious. Of all the places we visited while in town, this is the one I'd be excited to return to.

Perfect spot for a pre show hangout or just a Wilmington visit if you love burgers and drinks! I highly recommend reservations, it was slow when we arrived at 5:30 but within an hour things were jumping and at least a 2 hour wait if you hadn't gotten a table. Do not sleep on this space! I loved that they have a witty modern flare on their burgers and drinks and it's not JUST a whisky bar. I love my fruity sweet cocktails and their Pink Pony Club was refreshing and perfectly whimsical bested only by their other gin option Angels Share which added tang of blackberry which makes me wistful remembering now. The service was a little wonky- we ordered mac and cheese as an appetizer but it didn't appear until it came out with all our entrees and was desperately underseasoned. Most of it went home with one of us to be rehabbed and enjoyed another time. But the wait staff were super relaxed, checking in, and really creating a pleasant atmosphere. I liked that you had different protein options for EACH burger and the salmon isn't a salmon cake- it's actual whole salmon! Very impressive. I love that you can get beers and whisky and great cocktails along with solid bar food. I think the drinks outshine the food but overall will tell everyone to check this star of Wilmington.

Burgers, bourbon, and craft beers are some of my favorite things, and Farmer & The Cow features that trifecta of glory in the best way possible! I happened upon here somewhat by accident since I found out the hard way that Stichhouse Brewery was no more and I was looking for a backup place to eat at before seeing Gogol Bordello at The Queen. And it turned into a happy accident when I pulled up to the bar and realized that it was filled with fellow show revelers. And upon taking in the vast selection of beer taps, the extraordinary whiskey list, and the well-rounded selection of cocktails I was given a lot more to love. For drinks I appreciated that the tap list had plenty of IPAs, sours, seasonals and more, and it featured a good mix of craft beers, locals, and regular brews. the bourbon and whiskey list was HUGE, but they also featured other spirits in their extensive cocktail list and even had a few tempting-sounding zero-proof cocktails. And for those drinking on a budget they even had a Philly style Citywide special with a PBR & shot of Molort. Fr food I couldn't resist their burgers since they're a hand-crafted blend of chuck, brisket, and filet on a gluten-free roll, and reading it's name almost had me yelling, "That's What Brie Said!". The burger was perfectly medium rare and came with bourbon apples, prosciutto, brie, and a balsamic reduction. Toss in a side of truffle tots and I was on cloud nine! So long as this farmer comes also harvests monthly specials, delicious sounding milkshakes, and CHICKEN FRIED BACON, I have more than enough reason to travel back here for more!

The foundation is definitely there. The concept is clear, the staff is friendly, & the food has potential - I think they were just having an off night when we were there. The fried chicken skins were phenomenal. I absolutely loved the dipping sauce, too. They were the perfect appetizer & I would totally order them again. But for a place that really emphasizes their burgers, our burgers fell flat. My burger was cooked entirely to the wrong temp (totally rare when I requested medium) & the actual burger itself was so underwhelming. It lacked flavor (it was so bland & devoid of even simple salt) & cohesion (it fell apart after just a few bites). Again, the concept is totally there. They've definitely got the right idea. I just hope that in the future, especially if they're really highlighting themselves as a burger joint, they put a bit more care into their product. I wish them the best.

Wow. So much more than just a burger joint. Reservation for 6:30 last night. Our table was ready and seated right away. Courtney took amazing care of us. GM was out and about making sure everything was perfect. Even our food runner was super nice. Fantastic local draught beer choices and the whiskey wall was epic. A bit too pricey for me to go with bourbon. For a small menu, it really is packed with amazing choices and you can choose your protein for just about anything. Creative handhelds that really stand out. Salmon burger was huge and perfect. Hemp pesto so unique. Even the side salad (no upcharge) had incredible crunch. Highly recommend a visit.

Good experience here at the Farmer and the Cow. Metered street parking in the immediate area...free after 6pm. I was able to find a spot a block away. Great environment...very neat and well-maintained. Lots of seating at the bar, counter-height tables in the front and standard-height tables toward the back. Menu via QR code...which is becoming more and more common. I was excited to try a burger given the consistently great reviews online but mine was just okay...I ordered a FTC burger medium. The burger came closer to medium-well...also the flavor profile wasn't the best. I needed to add lots of ketchup to it...never a good sign. It was nice to have the option of a side salad instead of the fries though. I would like to return and try some other items in the future. All staff were nice throughout my visit.

Chicken Fried Bacon In theory this was a great idea. It's great thick cut chunks of pork belly. What would've hit this out of the park is if the pork belly was first slow smoked. Then it would've been tender chunks that would've been full of smoke flavor. Since it wasn't the bites were extremely tough with only a hint of smoke flavor. The coating was crunchy and fried well. The honey coating was okay. It needed some more spices to kick it up a notch. All in all it was good. That'll Do Pig Perfect burger patty to bun ratio. I loved all of the toppings. It needed way more bacon mayo, bacon jam and cart sauce, cause it was a really dry burger. Even getting it cooked to medium temperature, it was still dry. Great flavors overall.

We stopped at Farmer & the Cow on a recent trip to Wilmington. We'd heard amazing things about this place, so we were eager to give it a try. Unfortunately, it fell a little bit short for us. We started with an order of the fried chicken skins- these were fantastic! Almost like pork rinds, but fresh out of the oven and with a delicious sauce to go with it. For our entrees, we both ordered burgers cooked medium. When they arrived, my burger was cooked medium, but to say that my partner's was "rare" would be generous. It was bright pink all the way through, with some almost raw meat in the middle. She'd also ordered hers on a gluten free bun, which looked great at first, but almost fully disintegrated after just a couple bites. To be fair, there was some sort of festival going on outside when we visited, a great band playing inside, and the restaurant was PACKED. It's possible that there was just a mixup in the kitchen, which of course happens from time to time. Our waiter was very friendly and apologetic, and happily took the burger off the bill. He also asked if we were going to have any more drinks, which I think he was going to give us on the house as a way of saying sorry. It was clear they felt bad about the mistake, which we certainly appreciated. I think we would give this restaurant another shot if we were in the area again- the service was excellent and the drinks & appetizers were great too. Hopefully we just caught them on an off night.

Got the badger, badger, mushroom, mushroom burger and it was so damn good! It was juicy and had so many flavors from the sautéed onions to the mushrooms to the goat cheese, which really tied everything together. The side of fries was on the sweeter side and were pretty good to me, my mom loved them Visited from California and will definitely be back next time I'm out here :)

Being in Wilmington, I knew I had to try Farmer and the Cow after seeing on it Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Knowing that, I ordered the fried chicken skins and the That'll Do Pig burger. First, I tried the chicken skins and they were very unique. To explain, the flavor was different from normal chicken skin, but I still liked them. Furthermore, the skins were extremely crunchy and had a lot of spice to them. They were different, but enjoyable. After that, I moved onto the burger and the results were spectacular. Burgers are proof that sometimes the simplest things are the most extraordinary. With that being said, the That'll Do Pig was one of the best burgers I've ever had. To elaborate, the flavor of the meat was extraordinary. The meat was tender and oozing with juices. In addition, the bacon jam was sweet and tangy and matched perfectly with the meat. Also, the tater tots on the burger were crispy, seasoned, and elevated the burger even more. It was simply a phenomenal burger. I would also like to mention that the fries were very good. They were seasoned, crunchy, and tasted homemade. Bluntly stated, Farmer and the Cow has some of the best burgers I've ever tasted.

I'm honestly shocked at the amount of high reviews for this place. I ordered the "farmer & the bao" which is a misleading name because it does not come on a bao bun. The burger was extremely overcooked and dry (ordered medium) and was completely overpowered by the mountain of chili flakes. It was also very messy and just fell apart as soon as you touched it. For some odd reason, the bacon tasted like hot dog, maybe it was the combination with the pickled ginger, but just a very odd tasting sandwich. The fried chicken skins were also underwhelming, fatty and pretty flavorless. Also, the beer was flat. Staff was very nice. 2/10 will not return.

Wonderful food, atmosphere is great for a date night, and the staff was very prompt. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone for any occasion.

Tried to get reservations. There were none available for 5pm. We went anyway and it was pretty much empty and were seated right away. We weren't that hungry so we ordered an appetizer and burger to share. We had the Street Corn Nachos and THEY. WERE. AMAZING. I don't know what ingredient it was but something on them was sooooo good. I would go back just for the nachos. My partner picked the Farmer and the Bao burger and I have a little bite but that was definitely not for me. But he loved it. Our waitress was very good she sent out an extra plate so we could share but I only took one bite because I was full from the nachos. If we ever find ourselves in Wilmington again we will definitely be back. Might be sooner than later if I keep thinking about the nachos. By the time we left around 615 it was getting busy so I would plan to go earlier.

I've been wanting to come here forever and I'm so glad I got the opportunity to. A placed an order to go and sat at the bar until it was ready. I ordered the FTC burger w/ raw onions and the cafe de chucho milkshake. The burger was pretty good and well seasoned, but the patty itself was a little dry. The fries that came with the burger were amazing. I could eat them by themselves all day. The milkshake was coffee and churro flavored. The bitterness of the coffee helped to balance out the sweet cinnamon sugar. It was thick and creamy, I even dunked some of my fries in it. I want to go back to try their specialty burger and milkshake that changes monthly. The menu is very creative and different than nearby restaurants. I recommend giving it a try.

Literally so good! The burgers/sandwiches are massive but worth it! And the fries!!! Chefs kiss

Friendly and quick service. The place has a nice vibe. The burgers are made with quality meats and cheeses. They have some nice apps. I loved that they nailed the cook on everyone's burger. Their shakes were fabulous. The bar is very impressive. Great date night place. Some of the prices were a little high. I dont mind paying for quality but I think if they shaved off about 2 bucks from their burgers it would possibly allow someone to order an extra app. 4 people ate 4 burgers, 1 milkshake and 2 small apps came to 100.00 and we drank water. So after tax and tip? 130.00 ish later? It seems a little high.

We were excited to try this place; unfortunately, it was underwhelming. We ordered the chicken fried bacon, and the flavor was good, but there was so much fat, and it was tough. We moved on to our entree, the Rodeo King Burger, and they should have used the flavor from that chicken fried bacon for the burgers because not only did they have no flavor, but we asked for medium, and they came out well. Last, I get the old saloon look, but the spider webs & dust everywhere are not comforting. The wait was okay; he was just as underwhelming; maybe it was just a bad day, but I'm not rushing to return.

I enjoyed the food here although my family did not. We received great service at the bar high top which was the highlight. The fries were tasty however I didn't know the pickles were bread and butter and I found them offensive. Otherwise good food.

Everyone in town kept telling me to try this place so on my last night, I had to go, and I'll tell you straight up, it did not disappoint! When I came in it was very bustling but I quickly found a spot at the bar and I noticed the comprehensive selection of whisky available. I was a bit worried they wouldn't have any tequila but was relieved to find a few perfect options for my margarita. The bartender was incredibly friendly and super helpful in making my cocktail and food choices. Ordered the "Closed on Sunday" fried chicken sandwich and it hit all the right notes. Perfectly crispy with a. But of spice, a great slaw and some pickles. The fries were excellent and I definitely cleaned the plate. This place absolutely lives up to hype. If you're coming with a group it might be worth getting a reservation but I'm sure you can get a seat pretty quickly as I did.

Incredible stop on our way from Baltimore to Philly in Wilmington, DE. Extensive bourbon selection and a great selection of beer and shakes, too! We loved the Korean BBQ Brussel Sprouts and the Mac & Cheese! The side salad was amazing! So fresh and full of flavor. For our main course, Rodeo King and the Training Wheels burger. Delicious food and we can't wait to return!

Was recommended the Farmer & the Cow by a fellow bourbon hunter. This place is GREAT for a burger and a glass of rare bourbon. We arrived on a late Wednesday afternoon and it was a quick in and out trip. What we snagged: -No bourbon, BUT I have attached a picture of their shelf selection. -The FTC burger. One with regular taters (VERY flavorful, and one with sweet potato tots) What I wasn't TOO happy with was that the thick cut bacon was very fatty and flappy. Guess I just needed to ask for well done? Regardless, this is a GREAT joint. I'm sure it gets very busy at night as it's in the heart of downtown Wilmington.

This is a go to place of mine as I love Whiskey and this place has a huge selection. I live in the neighborhood so I'm fortunate enough to be able to walk here. John and Alex are very knowledgeable about Whiskey and can offer you some excellent recommendations. As for food, I recommend the Bacon Nuggets, Chicken Skins, and Brussels Sprouts. There is typically plenty of seating available.

Vibe/Ambiance: This is a really neat spot downtown! Really laid back but chic inside. Service: We made a reservation for a Friday night and we're seated promptly. Our server was super sweet and perfectly attentive. Food: For an All American burger place this is top of the line. The burger meat was fantastic, the bacon was cooked perfectly. They have tots and fries as side options (we had both). And the SHAKES were awesome. We also orders drinks and they taste exactly how described on the menu. They keep a specialty menu for the month at the bottom of each menu too, it's easy to miss. Personally I dread an online menu. They had a scannable menu, I find them to be confusing at times. Mainly the drink menu since it is extensive and down right impressive.

The food was really great and so was the service and i loved the ambiance! Definitely will be going back in the future!!

If you fancy yourself in Wilmington, DE, and have the irresistible urge to have quite possibly the greatest burger ever concocted, find yourself at Farmer & the Cow. Both the Chicken Skins and Street Corn Nachos were the perfect table setters to the entrees. The FTCBLTC had many layers of rich flavors and tasty bits that left me needing extra napkins in the best way. As befits its name the morning glory burger rises to the occasion. Like goodfellas, the magnificent seven or the avengers it is an exceptional ensemble cast. Generously portioned it is like nothing you've ever had before. Sure an egg on a burger is nothing new but with sausage and hash brown it's 1+1=100. Take my word for it get this burger. Your soul will thank you. And to top it off the Snickerdoodle Shake with Brown Sugar bourbon was the cherry on top! Imagine an upscale friendly speakeasy where everybody knows your name. Cheers meets the central perk. A place where you can enjoy your food and company with a friendly and attentive wait staff. The lighting and exposed brick elicit a very comfortable and sophisticated feel. Have you made your reservation yet?

I have to say, I came back here and was disappointed the second time around. For starters, my husband, son and I again, all ordered shakes. They were served in much smaller glasses than they were the first time, but for the same price. And our food was just okay. Same can be said for the service as it took a long time for the meal to come out. I had been excited about coming back but now I likely won't return. It's overpriced for what you get.

Great ambiance, but the appetizers are hit or miss. Went in early March on a Tuesday for my birthday. The shave Brussel sprouts with gogughang and housing was so overloaded with super thick and sticky sauce, that it wA inedible. Mozzarella sticks (3 rectangles) were not hot and the cheese was concealed and weirdly textured. The only thing I liked were the truffle tater tots, which were very good. The milkshakes and my friends burger were good.

Korean brussel sprouts are insanely good. The two of us ended up placing three orders for them.. crispy, sweet, and salty, with a hint of spice. I also got the Bleu Steel with chicken thigh- this burger had blue cheese, onion, and bacon. It was also good- the side fries were excellent. Lots of seating and a nice cozy interior. Good service.

My partner and I decided to visit this burger spot randomly after driving past it several times this year. Upon entry, we were greeted and seated by the host who was nice and greeted us with a smile. While we sat to figure out what we wanted for our entree I sipped on a cocktail by the name of the Angel's Share and it was delicious! Beautifully crafted and not too sweet even though it was made up of fairly sweet ingredients. My partner had the Smoke on the Rio which was also delicious. Smokey but not bitter and very smooth all the way down. The drinks were a 5/5. Now on to the food. We ordered an appetizer of the Korean BBQ Brussels Sprouts. They were fried and seemed to be tossed in the BBQ as opposed to drizzled on top, that was very appreciated. The Brussels sprouts were delicious! That bit of char mixed with the sweetness of the sauce was an exciting combination and while the sprouts were not that crunchy for them to be fried, I don't feel like that would have made a difference. So they also received a 5/5. Now on to the entree. This is where things go downhill. My partner ordered The Rodeo King OG burger and I ordered The Carolina Runaway. My sandwich was to be a rendition of a pulled pork BBQ sandwich inspired by NC BBQ. As a North Carolinian, I was excited to have a taste of home but I was so disappointed. The BBQ was chopped not pulled and that was a problem because the pieces of meat were fairly huge and not tender in the least. I could not bite down all the way through without getting stuck on a tough piece of meat. Also, the BBQ was drizzled on top and not tossed so you taste it and then it was gone and overpowered by the pickle at the bottom of the sandwich. And the slaw was just there for decor because I didn't taste it and had I not seen it there I probably wouldn't have known it was. The only good thing about my meal was the fries, nicely seasoned and fresh. My whole meal was a 2/5. The Rodeo King OG burger was also a disappointment according to my partner. She said "It was grossly overcooked, I asked for a medium and it was well done. It had no flavor to the actual patty itself and my fries were cold" She rated her burger a 1/5. Also, the last tidbit I'll say is we were seated next to where all the dirty dishes were dumped by staff and where the bartender's trash can was. Needless to say, there were loud plates and eating utensils banging every few minutes for the entirety of our visit. So for atmosphere, it gets a 1/5. While my experience wasn't great I do think people should try this place out. There were many guests and people looked happy all in all. Thanks & that's all.

I've come here several times and I've only had outstanding experiences. The specialty cocktails, whiskey selection, some of the unique (yet grounded in what makes sense) food selection and passion of the staff are what bring me back. There is a whiskey for every day of the year, too. The food is outstanding, and considering the prices of the rest of the world, everything is very reasonable. Highly recommend!

We left here 20 minutes ago and all I can think about is the chicken fried baccon. All of the items we had were delicious. The food came hot and at great intervals. The street corn nachos were plenty for the three of us and the toppings were plenty the fresh chopped jalapeños were great. The wings were cooked just right and they were sauced just right. The blue cheese was none I've ever had and a compliment to the wings and fries. The three burgers we ordered weee medium and cook as we ordered them. The tots were the best I've ever had very crispy but not hard and the inside fluffy and light. The inside was clean and a rustic. The service was wonderful our waitress was kind, polite, and knowledgeable about the food.

Last night we went past there. They didn't have any air conditioning. My fiancé and her friend ordered street corn nachos. The server brought their food out. No corn or black beans. Two ingredients that were supposed to be in there. How or why would you bring "corn nachos" out to a customer with no corn? When informed about the issue. The server said he was told they didn't have any street corn or beans. So why bring the order out. The server said the manager offered to comp us some drinks but we just wanted the nachos comped. The manager never came to our table although he walked past us enough times but didn't have the decency to come over. We will never go there again and I will not refer anyone there

Was very disappointed. We got to our reservation on time. We were sat by stairs leading to a basement and it was FREEZING. There were other 2 seater tables and we asked to be moved. We were told no. We had to leave! I could see if all of the tables had persons, but they did not! Wont go back.

Service was excellent! I came in for Lunch around noon with my two daughters (two and five). My waiter immediately said "hey we don't have a kid menu but this is what we can do for you" and placed the order right away. This timeliness is KEY for dining with young kids! Much appreciated!! Food was very good. I had a burger, tots and fried mozzarella which is a must try. I was hesitant to take my kids in at first, it has dive bar vibes from the outside, but it's not at all. I didn't try any alcoholic drinks this time, but the bar / drink selection looked pretty impressive. If you're local, or just in the area, this place is definitely a must try.

We visited here for lunch, definitely glad we came. We shared the Brussel sprout salad as our appetizer, one of the best salads I ever had. For our entrees we had the double burger that was on special for the month and the BLT, we enjoyed both. The BLT has a fried piece of cheese in mozzarella in the center and a thick piece of bacon... I would go back again just for that. I highly recommend.

Came on a Saturday evening without reservations..I would recommend reservations.. however, sitting at the bar ended up very nice... attentive and friendly bartenders. (John and Alex) Food- blue burger and a but w fried cheese. Both excellent. The came with great fries also. I had a snickerdoodle milkshake- spiked- also fantastic! Not too loud in the restaurant.

I wanted to love this place but felt a little underwhelmed. My friend and I started with the chicken skin appetizer. The skins were crispy, the dipping sauce was good but the seasoning was lacking salt (big time). Warning: they were pretty spicy! I had the breakfast burger with sausage, fried egg and a hash brown patty with fries on the side. The egg was peppered well and the hash brown was good. The burger was cooked medium as requested but it was lacking salt. The fries were a little overcooked/dried out. There is a parking garage around the corner on 5th if you need it and street parking otherwise. It's a small comfy restaurant.

3.4-4 Stars - Food was delicious! We ordered the street corn nachos to start and then each had a burger, cooked medium (came out closer to medium-well). Service was okay at best - we had to ask to order and ask for refills of our empty glasses halfway through the meal. My pet peeve, we got the nachos we ordered as a starter and literally 2 and a half minutes later, they brought out the burgers. The same thing happened to the table next to us. Will definitely return, just order med-rare burgers and not order meal until the app comes out!

There's way too much to complain about at this place. The chicken skins' only flavors are oil and "hot". Not spicy, that would indicate flavor in addition to the heat. Salt would be nice. It wasn't even available on the table. On their BLT, the fried mozzarella was cold but what's worse is that the "bacon mayo" is all bacon grease! Not a mayo, not even an aioli! Half the bacon was burnt... black, not crispy. The Hog fries were overall the best thing we had, but the server failed to mention that there was a HOT cast iron serving dish. It was needed tho bc the fries weren't hot enough. The Brussels sprouts were flavorful, but they were not fresh! Very old like they had been cooked a few days before and reheated... again, not hot enough. We took them home and the car smelled like skunky farts no more than 5 mins into the ride. We had to crack the windows on a 30°F windy day. The mac & cheese with bacon jam was macaroni in a flavorless yet nasty cream sauce with a few pieces of burnt bacon and NO CHEESE! The sweet tater tots were delicious and bc they were served in a metal cup, the only thing fresh & hot on the table. In fact, they kept burning my mouth. But I didn't mind bc I used the scolding cup to keep warm. It had to be 45°F in that restaurant. We were sat right at the top of a staircase that apparently led to Antarctica. They don't serve warm beverages, and the heater was broken, or on vacation. This made the already under-warmed food get colder immediately! We took the food to-go after freezing for 37 minutes. There's no assigned uniform so good luck figuring out who's a server & who's just a man in a button-down flannel walking around the restaurant. We had to almost beg for hot sauce, ketchup, salt, & pepper... U know, things normally on a table. We spent $67 on food we trashed when we got home just because we didn't want to be "the picky black people that are leaving their food because they probably want a discount or not to pay". We even tipped $13 despite the subpar service. I guess it wasn't the server's fault we had to chase him down several times, or that our food was ice cold due to an apparent understaffing or under-training. Honestly, I want my time and body heat back more than I want the money and trust me... I do want that $67 back. I need eggs this week. Long story short: Don't believe everything recommended by Guy Fieri on DDD!

My husband and I went today was easy to get in and there was parking in Wilmington. We both had a burger. Both burgers were juicy and delicious. You've got a salad. I got tots amazing sides. I have peach please drink and it was delicious. They have amazing servers and great bartenders. You should definitely try this restaurant

Creative burgers and appetizers! I had the Korean Brussel sprouts, which is a fusion take on the sweet, slightly sour and deliciously oily dish using gochujiang as the star ingredient. I tried the April burger, which was the peanut butter. I could not imagine adding meat a PB&J but I've dipped meat into PB sauce before so I gave it a shot. I'm still not sure how I feel about it but I CAN say that Farmer and The Cow definitely does patties well.

First, I want to say that the food was very good. Everything we ate was tasty, particularly the fries. The service was also good. I am posting this review to help those with kids. We had read a review that said the restaurant had a kids menu. We chose it based on this review. This was our mistake. The restaurant does not have a kids menu. They are able to take any of their burgers and make a smaller size one for kids. Perhaps most kids eat burgers, but my kids do not. As a result, my son basically had a milkshake for lunch. The restaurant serves a fried chicken sandwich and also French fries, so it would be great if they could also just throw some chicken tenders on the menu for the pickier kids. Other than that, I was very pleased with the restaurant and especially enjoyed the fried mozzarella with the pesto.

Burgers and mocktails were delicious! The servers were kind and friendly! Nice chil vibes!

This place is great! The food, the drinks, the service! All of it! Super fun spot and in a great location. We were a group of 6 and all ordered a bunch of plates to share. We got tots, Mac n cheese, brussel sprouts, Caesar salad, wings and bacon nuggets. My fav was the brussel sprouts and Mac n cheese. I also ordered the cider and it was perfect! Not too sweet or too dry. Our servers were so friendly and helpful!! We'd go back for sure!

Friend and I went for lunch and sat at the bar. It was a Tuesday so not busy and easy park out front. The bartender was nice and kept our waters filled. Menu isn't huge and was mostly burgers and shakes. The burger was supposed to be medium and was a bit over so drier than I like it. Medium isn't always the same so with all the toppings it was ok The restaurant has a nice selection vibe so worth a try.

FINALLY got to Farmer & the Cow and moved it from my want to try list to my DE faves list. While the burger was delicious, and the fries were so so good, the Wow factor for me went to the whiskey/bourbon selection. Impressive doesn't begin to describe it. Very cool vibe inside. Great tunes playing in the background at the perfect volume. The service was efficient, friendly, and prompt. We got there early on a Tuesday night and even then it filled up fast. I regret not getting pictures, but I know I'll be going back and will have another chance. One additional note - I will likely adjust my meat temperature for the burger order next time, as we each ordered medium expressing we prefer pink throughout, but there was no pink. Still delicious. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!

The food was very bland. The bacon nuggets were very tough. The service was okay. The ambiance was the best part of our visit. Unfortunately with all the great reviews this was not a place we would return to.

This is my favorite restaurant in Wilmington. Undoubtedly the best food I've had. Quality and service are excellent. Food is insane, too. Unmatched.

Well, we are hungry. So, we found this place on a side street. It is cozy inside with a table at the window to people watch. We were greeted by the bartender and sat quickly. Jesus was our server, he made great recommendations and friendly. I wanted a beer so they have local beer only. I couldn't decide so the bartender helped with a selection, apple tasting beer. It's yummy. The nachos have a blend of cheeses they make, with a kick. My tongue is burning but, I can't stop eating them. My chicken sandwich was crispy on the outside and juiciey on the inside. Delicious
