A busy spot for Southern comfort food, but not my favorite. We visited Farm House on a Sunday afternoon for lunch, and it was exactly what you'd expect for a family-friendly Southern comfort food place: packed, noisy, and bustling with families. After a 15 minute wait for a table for three, we were seated and ready to give it a try.
The menu focuses on quick, old-school Southern cooking, and we ordered two cheeseburgers with fries, the kids' spaghetti, and a side of onion rings. Unfortunately, the cheeseburgers were overcooked and tough... reminiscent of when my uncle leaves burgers on the grill a little too long. They weren't terrible, but certainly not memorable. The fries were fine: standard, basic fries that did the job. The onion rings were decent, though the batter was soft rather than crispy or textured, which may not be everyone's preference.
Service was quick and efficient, but there wasn't much room for pleasantries. It's clear the servers are working hard to keep up with the nonstop pace, and it felt a little chaotic at times. We even saw two servers collide, almost sending drinks flying, followed by a quick exchange of not-so-friendly looks.
As for the atmosphere--be prepared for lots of noise, chatter, and crying babies. Both tables next to us had little ones in full meltdown mode, and loud iPads didn't help the noise level. While I understand this comes with the territory at family-friendly spots, it's something to keep in mind if you're looking for a more relaxed or quiet meal.
Overall, Farmhouse serves up quick, no-frills Southern comfort food, but nothing stood out enough for me to return for lunch or dinner. I might give breakfast a shot if I happen to be nearby, but it's not a place I'd go out of my way to visit again.
