Farmhouse Cafe

The food here was amazing. The waitresses were awesome and made a delicious cocoa for my friend. The breakfast burrito was insanely good and the potatoes are delicious. I'm a stickler for good breakfast burritos and this won my heart and the potatoes need to be studied because they were spot on. Good good food.

The food was absolutely AH-MA-ZING! We ordered the Salmon and Roast Beef Smorrebrod. 20 out of 10! My fav restaurant in Wendell & Knightdale by far!!!

While the cashier was very nice. The order handler was horrible. I ordered take and she just threw the bag at me to bag my own food. It's a shame because the food was cooked made to order and it was very good. Maybe not have a person with a bad attitude deal with the customers.

The Smokehouse is Chefs Kiss 💋 10/10! Atmosphere is amazing, I was greeted with cheer and listened to when I ask questions about the menu… It’s a couple more things I need to try because it all sounds so good! I will definitely be back again, SOON!

First time here very cute place. The menu has a variety of things even for us vegans we had the McVegan with the Home fries. It was delicious. Very delicious.

I just had the best second meal there and the food is outstanding. French toast with lemon curd and some berry stuff, a traditional breakfast of two eggs, scrambled with bacon and fruits. I didn't have the included toast because I had the french toast. Then the yogurt parfait is absolutely perfect in my opinion. I still haven't used the bathrooms but I imagine they are extremely clean. This restaurant is super high ceilings with an extremely spacious lay out. Indoor seating and outdoor seating and the outdoor is a view of the pool and the lake! So cool. I'm a regular now! The manager, Jess, was very friendly and came out to discuss my exquisite tip to the great associates they have working there. She was very feminine, and so is the other manager on duty. The only difference with other restaurants is, uou need to get used to ordering your food and then going to sit down and then coming back up for your food. Other than ordering the food, they don't really interact with you a whole lot, but it's absolutely awesome and delicious and I will be here many, many times, as I only live a few minutes away, and the pricing is very competitive. This is a five star restaurant all the way. Thank you!

Eeee-yuck!! I ordered the dipster and it was pretty disgusting. The presentation itself was nauseating. The meat had a jelly like consistency. The cheese was thick and just laid on the sandwich. A glob of barely caramelized onions sat on top. I didn’t want to waste my money but I couldn’t finish it. Absolutely disgusting.

Terrible. The pictures here show something totally different than reality. We ordered the classic gravy with biscuit and egg. The eggs were okay but the biscuit were very bad.

I stopped in for lunch and was honestly impressed. The space is open, warm, and has that modern farmhouse vibe that makes you want to sit and stay awhile. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and moved with purpose--no one was just standing around. I ordered the herb-crusted salmon mesa bowl and it did not disappoint. The salmon was seasoned well with a perfect sear, and the sides actually felt fresh and intentional, not like fillers. Loved the kale, the sweet potatoes, and that corn was shockingly good. The green sauce on the side added the right kick and pulled everything together. Portions are generous, the food tastes clean and well-prepared, and the atmosphere feels like a local favorite in the making. I'll definitely be back.

We went to Farmhouse Cafe last week and loved it! What a cute spot tucked in a lovely neighborhood with a pond. We went after work on a weekday with our little girl for a quick and spontaneous adventure. They have a huge field for a picnic or just to relax and for kids to run and play without getting in the way of others dining and relaxing inside/outside. Fire pits and cozy chairs included! They also often have events such as live music, which we can't wait to go back for. We tried a red and white wine and ordered the Caprese Melt with pasta salad to share. It was yummy and very fresh! Their menu is pretty extensive but not too busy, which is nice. I do wish they had more/different wine options, but understand at a smaller place (well, smaller menu) they might not. You can order and pay at the counter and they let you know when it's ready. Also, the people working there were incredibly kind; all of them! The place is truly adorable and cozy, inside and out. We can't want to return and will be soon!

Yes. Lots of choices. The views are the best. Cool place to come grab a sandwich or a salad. You can sit back and watch people swim or fish. We went fishing. The pond is right there beside it.

Amazing people, very professional, and food is really good. I'm so happy to see the young up and back working. Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!

Stopped here for sunday brunch and was not disappointed! We got there around noon, before the lunch rush came in. All the inside tables were taken but they had plenty of outside seating. We originally sat outside but there were so many flies swarming our food immediately, so we went back inside for a table. We ordered the breakfast tacos and kitchen sink bagel sandwich. Both were delicious and super filling. I would definitely order the bagel sandwich again!

I enjoyed a nice Father's Day lunch at the Farmhouse Cafe with my wife and mother-in-law. This place always has a good energy vide with good music, decent food, and fair prices. The staff is always courteous, the food is way above average, and you can feel why there is always a crowd here. I enjoyed the Smokehouse sandwich and Iced Mocha and my wife eats the chicken salad by the tub, lol! It's a real nice place with good energy. I highly recommend.

Excellent carry out order for us as an alternative to fast food on our way from OBX to Asheville. Sammie's were made with great bread, buttered and grilled. Macaroni salad was definitely house made and fresh!!

This place has so much potential. The space is super cute. The food was just ok. Between the four of us we had the following: - BLTE and C: This was by far the best thing we had. Would def recommend. - Mango mint coconut French toast: Do not recommend. - Breakfast Burrito: Good, would get again. - Roast Beef Dipster: ok, would not get again. - Rise and Shine Smoothie: Icy and flavorless. Waste of $6. - 12oz can of overpriced warm beer because their taps were broken. Waste of $7. We waited in line 20-30 min to order, so I would not recommend 12pm on a Saturday. Once ordered, the food was ready in 10 min which was nice.

We sat outside since we had such a big group, but we really liked it. It is inside a neighborhood and you order at the counter and pick it up when they call your name. We got the French toast and the smokehouse sandwich. The French toast was delicious with the berry compote on top and the whipped cream. Our coffee's were a little sweet but after we mixed them the sweetness toned down.

Came in on a Friday night, we were greeted promptly and everyone was so nice. We ordered three dishes and they all came out quick. Food was delicious and we loved the atmosphere. Would definitely return.

Surprisingly good food. Cooked to order with what appears to be quality ingredients. We stopped herr by chance one Sunday for brunch. I'd known of the spot for a few years but never visited until recently. The food was filling. Prices were moderate. Service was prompt; after placing our order i made my way to the counter for pickup in about 20 minutes. There's ample indoor and outdoor seating. Looking forward to the next visit.

My mom and I visited this cafe for Sunday brunch and really enjoyed it. You order at the counter then find a place to sit inside or outside. I recommend outside for the view of the lake. It was the NC Peach French Toast with a Trophy Cloud Surfer for me and the Farmhouse Benedict with a cup of cheese grits and a Fullsteam Paycheck Pilsner for my mom. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. This spot is a must visit in Wendell.

The atmosphere at Farmhouse Café in Wendell is really nice, but the food felt more like quick hotel café fare with reheated options. We ordered two turkey croissant sandwiches with grits and home fries. The turkey tasted a little off, though the croissants themselves were perfectly baked. Honestly, I would've been just as happy with a plain croissant and jelly. The service at the register was amazing. The outdoor seating area could use some attention--the tables were wobbly and in need of a good cleaning. Like another reviewer mentioned, this spot has a lot of potential, it just needs some fine tuning.

Super refreshing salad with lots of texture. Loved the crunchy seeds and creamy avocado. Everything tasted fresh. Would definitely come back for this again.

Quiet atmosphere. Delicious food. Country setting. Been numerous times. Any time of day or day of the week there is a good selection of food with good service.

I want to get my complaint about the Farmhouse Cafe out of the way right up front. You have to stand in line to order your food, set your own table, pick up the food when it is ready and clear your own table. This is not my idea of "Good Eats." BUT - the diverse menu and really good food keeps me coming back. The multiple outside dining options are also a big plus - especially when the weather cooperates. The week-end Brunch is a true delight. My favorite is the Three Little Pigs Grits Bowl ($13). The generous portion of Stone Ground Cheesy Grits is smothered with Pulled Pork, Country Ham, Bacon, Pub Sauce and a Scrambled Egg. The dish is as filling as it is delicious. A definite winner. We also enjoyed the Breakfast Burrito ($8). The flavorful Flour Tortilla Wrap is crammed full of Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Tomatoes, Cheese and Arugula. Another satisfying winner. The Roast Beef Smørrebrød ($11) is a superstar. This unique combination of tender, thinly sliced Roast Beef, Pesto, Smoked Gouda, Caramelized Onions, Roasted Tomatoes and Balsamic Glaze was piled high - very high - on a thick slice of Nordic Farmer's Bread. It is hard to describe all the flavors, but this open faced sandwich is truly outstanding. The Smørrebrød also comes in a Salmon version for the same price. We were not so impressed with the Sweet Potato Quinoa Stir Fry ($14). This dish combines Red Peppers, Arugula, Asparagus, Carrots, Green Tomato Relish and Thai Chili Sauce. I am always searching for new and innovative cuisine, and I applaud Chef Cowden for his many contributions to dining adventures; but I simply did not like this Stir Fry. The texture was off and the flavors did not work for me. For an ultimate comfort sandwich, I recommend the Cuban ($10 with one side). The toasted Cuban-style Hoagy Roll is stuffed with savory tender Pulled Pork, Thin-sliced Ham, gooey melty Swiss Cheese, Dill Pickle slice and a slightly sweet Mustard Sauce. The Tomato Cucumber Side was fresh, crisp, nicely chilled and seasoned with a zesty Vinaigrette Dressing.

Oh my goodness... The food was wonderful!! The service was fantastic. It's a smooth moving operation and everyone is very pleasant; So once you place your order they'll holler to let you know it's ready Then you have a choice to sit inside or out side, we chose to sit outside. It was lovely ; we surely will return! Also, they are dog friendly!

Drove past and had to stop by in this incredible building. Truly a super cool ambiance and environment with plenty of seating available indoors and outside. The building is spectacular from a distance with a large lawn and up close. Got some coffee and dessert and both tasted great. The service was friendly and prompt, and looking around all the dishes looked fantastic and fresh. Would definitely recommend and will return if I'm ever in the area again

Came in for breakfast with my mom and son Saturday morning. Staff were friendly and busy. From the time we ordered until our food was ready was about 10 minutes. Everything was fresh, hot and flavorful. Facilities were clean and had plenty of seating. I ordered a sugar free specialty coffee and it was perfect.

So I met some friends here and have mixed feelings about the place. So I thought I would lay out the pros and cons: Pros: - food was delicious - cool atmosphere - friendly staff Cons: - shoddy Wi-Fi. It didn't work very well and was slow. - they had huge fans blowing, which made it chilly. - mediocre drip coffee If I lived closer, I might would give it a second shot. But not worth the drive for me.

I was disappointed with my meal at Farmhouse Cafe. It is a cute cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. The service was friendly but the meal was not good. I had the roast beef smorrebord. I was told that it was an open faced sandwich on dense bread I'd need a fork and a knife to eat. I hate onions so did order it without but as you can see in the photo there are fried onions on it. I should have sent it back but it took so long to get as it was. People that came in after me were served before I was. Had I known the bread was going to be hard as a rock I wouldn't have ordered it. I'm not sure if it was stale or overcooked but that bread would have broken teeth. I wouldn't return although the food others ordered looked good as mine wasn't and most of it ended up in the trash.

A hidden gem! This restaurant is tucked inside a very beautiful neighborhood. I went for breakfast and the food was made fresh. Everything was delicious. You have the opportunity to have fresh juices, smoothies, or speciality coffees along with your food. Service was quick and staff were very friendly.

yes yes yes. Exactly what NC needs more of! Breakfast, salads, sandwiches, and drinks. Fresh, quality food. Standing in line to order takes a little time but once you order the food is out quickly. Good prices and an awesome spot with lots of outdoor seating.

Classic Italian cuisine served with care. The pasta was homemade, and the pizza had the perfect thin crust. The lasagna was hearty and comforting, while the tiramisu was a perfect end to the meal. While the wait for a table was a bit long, it was definitely worth it for the delicious food.

Was not impressed. Had the Kahlua pork luau bowl. Meat was dry and tasteless. Tasted no where at good as it looked. A real disappointment. My wife's Greek salmon salad was good. She enjoyed it. All counter service.

Food was great and tasty. Quick service. Every was cooked fresh and was well seasoned. We loved the decore

This place is beautiful and so relaxing feels like you are at a resort or on vacation. The service was amazing as the cook was super friendly and made sure our meals tasted amazing and he made us feel at home we will definitely be back when we are in the Wendell area.

This is such a cute cafe located within the Wendell Falls neighborhood. How lucky for everyone that lives there! The food and coffee was great! I liked that there is both indoor and outdoor seating. It is also dog friendly! Would love to go back with my pup and have an afternoon beer.

The food was delicious. Definitely five stars. Everything here is fresh and made in house. The ambience is great. We sat outside to a nice greenery and lakefront. The service is self serve. They take your order upfront and you are to pick it up get your own silverware and napkins. Very tastefully done.

I wanted to love this place and while it only gets 3 stars today I'm going to still give it another chance. Reasons to love it: It's a beautiful spot in an area that's not overcrowded. There is a lot of room inside for seating Staff is friendly and service is fast. The menu is beautiful with a lot of selection. Why it got 3 stars: As great as the menu looked and sounded we were pretty disappointed in the food. The avocado toast lacked major flavor and could have been seasoned and needed a drizzle of something other than olive oil, maybe a balsamic glaze? The plus were the blueberries were huge and fresh. The toast was way under toasted and soggy. I have to give it a 2 out of 5 rating. The biscuit sandwich was also very bland and dry. It could not be enjoyed as a sandwich at all because it fell apart and something that dry needs more than a slice of cheese. There again was no sauce and not sure the biscuit was even buttered. My partner rated it a 2 on a scale of 1-5. We will give the place another chance but right now, only 3 stars.

This place just keeps getting better and better. They have a wonderful chef working who is not only accommodating but goes out of his way to make sure the customer is comfortable within the environment, I was grateful and appreciative of this. This is also a great time of year to visit, have some drinks and warm up to a fire on the patio. Cheers!

Excellent food - sitting outside is lovely but inside is good too. Service is efficient - it's a lovely place to meet friends

For starters, I just want to say that I loved the atmosphere and the customer service. My grandmother ordered the meatloaf patty melt, which was very delicious. I ordered the Southwest Turkey, and it was good as well but as I was eating I noticed a hair in the next bite I was going to take, which ruined my entire meal. I asked them very nicely to remake it, and explained what happened and the woman checked as if I was lying.. but I understand checking and I understand mistakes happen but I realized that they don't wear hairnets at this restaurant and they should.

I live nowhere near the area but if I did, I know I'd be at Farmhouse Cafe often! A Yaymaker Plant Night brought me here the first time and immediately fell for its charm. Yes, it's a little cafe that's pretty much meant for the community that it's attached to but they are very welcoming here. This day I arrived at peak lunch time but their menu is rather simple so I got my food fairly quickly. I ordered the Salami Smørrebrød and it was so good! It was just enough, a light lunch. Very fresh ingredients and even presented so pretty! They serve up sandwiches and salads as well as the Smørrebrød's but I was so intrigued by them; I want to try them all. They serve iced tea, assorted canned beverages, coffee drinks and beer and wine! For me what really makes this place so appealing is it's outdoor spaces. There are a lot of outdoor tables and it just feels so free and open. There's a nice pond with water feature and a little walkable area as well. The service was also of note. I absolutely expected for it to take quite awhile - small place, I'm here on a Thursday afternoon. But it was impeccable. I had my 7 year old niece with me and one of my friends had her two little nieces so we had our hands full. The nice lady that took my order saw me come back in later and asked what she could do for me. And she called me by name! I don't know that I'd ever make it out here for breakfast but the menu looks great! Served until 11am daily.

What a cute, relaxing place. You walk in and order at the counter, they'll announce your order when it's ready and you go and pick it up. They have indoor and outdoor seating from you to choose from on the front and the back of the building. I ordered the BLT and E on C (BLT with egg on a croissant) and it was lovely. Nice, flaky croissant with thick cut bacon and a perfectly cooked egg. What great meal to start the day with. I also added a strawberry banana smoothie to go with my mask and the smoothie was delicious and refreshing. My partner liked the wrap and said it was very good, an excellent meal to start the day with. He also stole about half my smoothie, so clearly the smoothie was delicious! This is a nice relaxing little cafe to get your morning going or just a nice place to stop in and grab a bite to eat.

Farmhouse Cafe in Wendell, is a nice spot to grab quick breakfast or lunch. I decided to stop there since my eye doctor is now out in Zebulon. The restaurant is a counter service place where you order, they call your name and you seat yourself. I went with the loaded burrito and a piece of the crumb cake (I also decided this would be a cheat day lol). The burrito was pretty good. It comes with scrambled egg, bacon, tomato, mozzarella cheese, and arugula in a spinach wrap. The crumb cake was freshly baked and tasty. The coffee, was spot on, two cups for me. The cafe is located in a wooden building structure in a park setting and the community pool is located here as well. There is plenty of parking out front. I would say it's definitely worth a visit if your in Wendell.

Easy access. Good food. Good atmosphere. Employees are professional and fun. Highly recommend.

The food was really good, you could tell everything was fresh! Friendly staff & great atmosphere. Had a cool vibe. Wish I lived closer to try more stuff on the menu!

I have eaten here several times with my family . Food was delicious, everyone was very nice , love neighborhood vibe. Definitely will eat there a lot .

The food is pretty good and the staff is so sweet!! I love getting their iced honey latte and vegan wrap in the mornings.

Great Place! Laid back atmosphere. Food and service are top notch. Prices are very reasonable.

Obviously a high quality cafe with many healthy options and reasonable prices. Great location for a stop off the highway for lunch coffee. Only complaint is the staff member's obvious contempt towards me and taking my order - from the time I was standing in line, placing my order, and picking up, he made me feel very unwelcome and burdening. Very much dampened my otherwise good experience.

Food was fresh, hot, and tasty. The set up for ordering is a little wonky when it gets busy, but the service is friendly and helpful. I had the dip sandwich and found the au jus to be a little thicker than I've had before but enjoyed the flavor. My wife had the club sandwich and it was piled beautifully and high!

We were so disappointed after reading such glowing reviews. The choices for breakfast were very creative and inviting but the service was horrible. The dining area is rather small and we were seated no more than 10 feet from the register/order taker. After waiting for around 15 minutes my name was called and I went to pick up my order only to find that it had been sitting on the other end of the counter for some time and was soggy and cold. They claimed to have called my name but neither my friend or I heard anything even though the place is rather small. The cashier had a clear view of our food sitting on the counter as well as a clear view of us sitting at our table. I made eye contact with her several times but she never indicated that our food was ready. When I complained they simply said, "We called your name." The food was inedible. Someone, (perhaps the manager?) took my name and number and assured me that he would speak with chef Patrick who would call me to rectify the situation. I never heard a thing from anyone. I don't recommend this place which is a shame since it appeared to have such potential.

The food isn't bad but I won't eat here. I only know that others enjoy it. It honestly just doesn't look sanitary. The food is out without refrigeration, and the way it is out it just makes my stomach turn. Eat with caution. I have had their lattes and I'm not impressed.

I just love this little spot! (and wish I'd known more about Wendell Falls when I was house buying a few years ago). It was a pretty day so I made the 15 minute drive to work from the cafe for a couple hours. They're not allowing anyone to eat inside right now, but there is tons of space and tables on the front and back patios. They have a nice selection on their coffee, breakfast, sweets and dinner menu. I got the breakfast tacos without the tortillas and it was good. My seasonal butter pecan almond latte was delish! On other visits I've been able to choose from their good selection of beer. You can't go wrong here if you're looking for a place to work, meet up with friends or enjoy a date. I will say that it would be a great help if they'd install outlets on the patio for those who want to use their laptops. I only found one outlet and if it had already been used, not sure what I would have done.

We thought we were going to a sit down restaurant, which it was not really. More of an order at the counter situation, however the food was delicious! I would go back all day, maybe not my husband. Different for him. Not bad, just different.

Counter service cafe. Beautiful building with a good amount of outdoor seating. For a tiny little kitchen, they produce some tasty gems. Excellent sandwiches and sides. Good seasonal items and dinner specials. Great coffees and a small but well picked craft beer selection. Live music some nights.
