Easily one of the best restaurants we've been to in the area! Had a family birthday celebration here and it was an amazingly great experience! Our server, Dawn, was easily one best servers I've had in a long time. Knowledgeable about the menu, made a point to explain everything and no questions were too obscure. We had a variety of dishes, and out of everything the pork schnitzel wasn't really a schnitzel if you've ever had one in Germany, it was more like a breaded, fried bone-in pork chop, really good but not a traditional schnitzel. The asparagus, the risotto, the pasta, the chicken were all absolutely superior. The stars were the appetizers, especially the kung pao fried Brussels, those are a meal by themselves, some of the best I've ever had! The fried burrata cheese, worth the drive to Wake Forest. Their Cherry cobbler one word: YUM! The Farm Table is a roomy restaurant with tables well suited for family style dining and while a bit loud, certainly not uncomfortably so Totally recommended and thank me later for those Brussel Sprouts! read more

I don't know it's GREAT...lot of people using the word "great"...it was all right. The dishes rotate from what I understand so speaking on specific dishes seems pointless. We had one app (tuna poke nachos if you must know) that were very good, but everything else was sort of mid. The ideas are good...execution comes across a bit flaccid. No bold flavors, only bold ideas. Draft beer selection was definitely good. Mixed drinks tasted fresh (no sour mix etc) and the ambience was welcoming and chill. Staff were all nice. Place seemed clean. Flavor Score: 3 Experience Overall : 4 read more

We ate here on the evening of 02/12/2026 and honestly this place is one of the great hidden gems in Wake County. We have eaten here a few times before but not in a couple of years. On this night we had decided not to have appetizers or dessert but stay with the main entrees. My wife chose the braised short ribs with a mashed potato base and broccolini . I had a previous favorite of Pork Schnitzel served over fettuccini with a pesto/ peppercorn sauce and arugula with a lemon vinaigrette These dishes were amazingly good and the helpings are very generous. Our server was prompt and friendly with a great knowledge of each dish. The ambiance is something like a rustic industrial feeling but you can see all types of dress from athletic leisure wear to more formal attire. If you are looking for a great place to eat near Wake Forest, look no further try this place. read more

While not strictly tapas the sharables could be considered tapas like. We've loved the Brussels sprouts as well as the flatbread. Service has always been good in a nice atmosphere. Good wine selection to go with the meal. Have eaten here several times and will go back again. read more

This was our first time here but now our favorite restaurant in Wake Forest. Great atmosphere and currently decked out for Christmas which I loved. Our server Kate is amazing and gave us great suggestions and made our evening even more special. The whole staff has a good vibe. I did not take photos in time to show off the presentation because I forgot as I was just enjoying the dining experience. I had a wedge salad with salmon and my husband enjoyed the sticky ribs. We started with cocktails and the fries appetizer which were delicious. We both indulged in dessert too which was with the calories too. Highly recommend. Cheers read more

Hi. First time here. I've heard good things, some bad as I have worked in the food industry for years, people who have worked here and eaten here at Farm Table. Food was good. Service was subpar. My server took a water from a table that left a few minutes ago, and gave it to me when I asked for my drink. I kindly asked her to replace it and her demeanor changed after that. Not bad, but not great. read more

Farm Table is located in Gateway Commons Shopping Center. Parking can be tight near the restaurant but the shopping center has plenty of parking with great lighting not too far away. The restaurant is always packed so make sure to make reservations if you can. The menu changes based on the season so you have an excuse for multiple dining trips here. The menu has a good variety of items to appeal to everyone's taste buds. On my last visit I had a chopped salad and added the shrimp. The shrimp came out in a small pan and not on the salad so I added them myself. I liked how all the flavors went together. I am looking forward to my next visit. read more

Food was very good ! We shared the Greek Salad and Shrimp Scampi share-ables. We were seated without reservations . Decor is rustic . Bread with dipping oil was nice too read more

We stopped here while our kids were out of town. We had a salad, stuffed shrimp and the waitress recommended schnitzel and short ribs. The short ribs were just okay... needed more seasoning in my opinion but literally everything else was so delicious. We enjoyed the atmosphere. The staff were friendly and stopped by just enough times to make sure the food was good and to top off our drinks. The managers were constantly walking around and checking on each table as well. Everyone seemed happy and as if they enjoyed themselves while worked. read more

Really really enjoyed my dinner at tonight. As usual they never disappoint. I had the gypsy breeze cocktail and we all shared the torched feta appetizer. I had the bolognese for dinner which was made with mushroom agnolotti, a beef & pork ragù and cream. It was so delicious!! My son in law had the roasted cod. My daughter had the summer southwest salad appetizer as an entrée and had them add grill chicken to it. They were both happy with their dinners. They shared the chocolate raspberry mousse cake and I also ordered the same for myself Our waitress Kate was wonderful and the chef prepared delicious food as always. read more

The seafood gumbo was to die for, service was 5 star and the rustic ambiance was most relaxing! Will definitely be going back there again

This was one of those wow meals, from start to finish. They change their menu often to match what is in season and to utilize as much local as possible. We were drawn in by their current menu. Made reservations and had a delightful Saturday night experience. They have a nice variety of seating options. Tables, Booths, a good size bar. There's a patio room that's enclosed. All very nice. We were quite comfortable in our booth in the main dining room. Service was top-notch from the moment we were greeted with a smile, to our excellent Server and the friendly food runners. Drinks excellent. I enjoyed a nice pinot grigio with my meal, followed later by the world's most perfect dessert drink...a lemon pie martini. Yep. You heard that right. The stuff dreams are made of. Husband had a couple dirty martinis he was quite fond of. Food. YUM. We shared a steamed clam appetizer with an excellent spring onion cream-white wine sauce after they started us with a nice light foccacia with a very good olive oil. The only thing missing with the clams was grilled bread. It was crying out for it. Would have totally taken it over the top. Yes the foccacia was dippable but it didn't work as well as grilled sourdough would have matched with that dish. Entrees: Scallops with a beurre blanc sauce, veggie noodles and a tomato vinaigrette. The scallops could not have been seared and cooked better. They were scallop perfection. But I will say that the plating in a bowl rather than a plate watered down the beurre blanc to the point it might as well have not been there. The tomato on top with a tangy vinaigrette offered a nice acidity to the dish. Husband got the Pork Schnitzel with a pesto pasta and arugula. Very rich and he loved it. Both portions were generous enough that we both have leftovers. Especially love how well everything is seasoned and the usage of fresh herbs. Highly recommend! read more

My husband and I chose this restaurant because it was around the corner from our neighborhood. I read somewhere in a local Facebook group that someone recommended it for a good steak, without having to drive to Raleigh. While we didn't order the steak, the food did not disappoint. The ambience felt approachable, but do make reservations. Our waitress was friendly and kind. Our drinks were always full. I've heard good things about the chef here and we were really impressed with the fact that the drink and food menu changes. We left very happy knowing it will be our new date night spot. Our food choices: - Heirloom Caprese: very refreshing, perfect amount of salt - Grilled Pork Chop: OMG. So flavorful! I don't normally eat pork chops but this was so good - Grilled Baby Back Ribs with an added side of smashed potatoes: my husband is very picky with ribs and this non-vinegar based set of ribs were so juicy and fresh, falling off the bone. He literally gave me a high five. The smashed potatoes were INCREDIBLE. I made him share. The dish comes with sweet potato fingerlings, which was such a great pairing to the taste of the ribs read more

I had a chance to check out this restaurant with some friends this weekend and was overall impressed! Our friend made a reservation the day before for 4 ppl and it was a good thing we did because it did seem pretty busy around the time we got there, which was 7 pm. Their drink menu was really diverse and interesting with a lot of seasonal beverages. I got the wedge Caesar salad and the sweet potato chicken sliders, as well as the pomme frites for the table. The fries are a very, very generous portion, definitely a big enough basket for 4 ppl to nibble on. The wedge Caesar was where it was at. It was HUGE and the flavors were amazing. The bacon is sweet and spicy at the same time, the tomatoes being cooked were bursting with flavor, and the dressing was a less traditional Caesar but delicious in its uniqueness. Although the restaurant is 25 minutes from me, I would drive just to get this salad again. Next time, I would probably add a protein and have the salad as my full meal. The chicken sliders come with three total and were okay. I think the bun to chicken ratio was a little off, as there was way more bun than chicken, and the buns especially were a little dry. I thought the chicken was tasty, but I likely would not order this again. The service was not the best. It took quite some time for us to be greeted and much longer to get our drinks, and in general just not the best. Still, I recognize many places are understaffed, and we had a great time talking and enjoying our food, so not a big deal. As I said, I'd return for the salad, hands down, and would be excited to try other menu items and see their seasonal cocktails. read more

The food is excellent; The service is really neat. You put your order in and they holler when it's ready to pick up and return to your table. It's a fresh idea for fresh food and the ambience is just great. read more

The food here is next-level. It's located in a shopping center, which seems unusual. It's small, but somewhat classy and casual at the same time. We were very comfortable there. For some reason, we had it in our head that this was a tapas place (we got it mixed up with another place we were considering), so we over ordered...by like a LOT. We ordered the watermelon salad, which was very refreshing, but you have to like kalamatas and feta -- that salty/sweet combo. I though it was great. We also ordered the house fries. They were shoestring (my favorite), well salted, sprinkled with scallions and fresh parmesan, and served in pretty large bowl. Way more than two people should ever eat in one sitting, and yet, we did. Absolutely, 100% addicting in every way. At this point, I was already full, but I had a large dinner heading my way....a pork chop with cider jus - heavenly. Pretty tender for a pork chop, too. The star was the mashed sweet potatoes though. Tasted like something from a very special Thanksgiving dinner. Sooooo comforting. Also came with collard greens with bacon, which was good, but not something I would normally eat. I'm not from the South, lol, but I'm always willing to give things a try. :) My husband went way outside of his comfort zone and ordered the grilled octopus with beans. I thought this sounded weird, too, but damn, it was good. Stole the show, honestly. It comes across as a Southern octopus stew, but thicker and had the perfect balance of spice. WHEN we go back, I will be ordering that dish, so I can have it all to myself!!! Our waitress was very sweet and personable, and as an added bonus, the menu included gluten free items, making my choices a lot easier than usual. Thank you, Farm Table. We just moved here and you are, so far, our favorite restaurant. Keep up the great work. I think you might have a magician back there cookin' up the goods! read more

We recently had dinner for the second time at Farm Table, last time being in 2021. The dining room is still beautiful, we love the atmosphere. We shared the brussel sprouts as an app, and I had the pork schnitzel and my husband had the bacon mac and cheese with sirloin on the side. We enjoyed all of our food and our server was great. I ordered a cosmo and then an espresso martini at the end of the night. The only down side to our meal was how slow the bar was. I think they were understaffed and could not keep up with both the bar drinks and the drinks needed in the dining room. We received our appetizer before our drinks and then it took almost 20 minutes to get our dessert drink. Overall it didn't dampen our experience but staffing definitely needs to be adjusted for the bar read more

I ordered this, it had potential, the peaches were hard and started to brown, and cut them smaller. The Strawberries seemed over ripe, otherwise had potential if fresher.Peach & Strawberry Salad scarlet butter lettuce/ fresh peaches/ pecans/ blue cheese crumbles/ pickled strawberries/ white wine balsamic vinaigrette I had 1/2 rack of ribs Outstanding Cole Slaw was very good, the " potato" or what ever it was, not edible. The crab cake was good, and pomme frittes (sp) were ok Over all 3.0 read more

I have come here twice, both times were just ok to me. I don't get the hype. I wanted to love it as I had heard so many great things but I really found the food to be nothing great. The first time, both myself and my husband ordered the Ribeye. Both were edible but the texture and flavor seemed lower quality. We were hoping for something decent from a place named "Farm Table". The broccoli was good. We also ordered the stuffed mushroom, this was delicious. The server was ok. She did all the standard server things that she was required to do, like take our order, but seemed uninterested in general. The second time I came with a group of girls to give this place another try. No one loved their meal. It was all edible, just nothing stood out. The server on this visit was pleasant, chatted with us and was helpful with the menu. read more

Food was excellent, very fresh, wait staff were very pleasant, great experience, will come back again when I'm in Wake Forest

It was not what I expected. Maybe it is because the month before I was in nyc and the food at Fame table restaurants there are really farm to table. They have the food actually telling you which farm supplied the food. I didn't feel the food was anything special on the night we went. Maybe it was an off night because the reviews I read were very good. But the question I have to ask myself would I give it another try and the answer would be probably no . read more

Great Service and wonderful food and pleasant atmosphere. Glad to have in Wake Forest.

This was the first time we went to this restaurant. It was very good. Service was excellent. Pricing was within range and for the first time we didn't feel that we were paying high prices for a mediocre night out. The food was very good. The ambience was very nice and the service was outstanding. We would indeed recommend this restaurant? read more

First time at Farm Table. Definitely not the last time. The menu is pretty small and it may be a bit pricey to some, but the quality of food was worth it to me. We were celebrating our 23rd anniversary and decided to try out a new to us restaurant. It's casual dining, right next to Gateway Tavern in the commons strip mall. I never realized that both places are owned by the same person. The place was smallish but pretty packed for a Sunday night. Glad we made reservations. We shared a grilled Caesar salad, it's huge so we each got plenty. I opted for the salmon which came with blackened rice-creamy goodness! And the sautéed spinach was a great touch as well. Hubby got the pork schnitzel and thoroughly enjoyed his as well. The portions are pretty big so we both had leftovers. Our server was awesome and kept our drinks filled. read more

Great food and service. Staff is wonderful! Chef never disappoints. It's our favorite go-to spot in Wake Forest/Raleigh

Innovative Fresh Fare As soon as you walk in the door you are plunged into a rich, warm welcoming ambience. The staff is professional, amiable and adept at anticipating the needs of the diners. The food - in a word - mouthwatering! We enjoyed the following dishes: Crab Topped Shrimp ($16) - five Jumbo Shrimp stuffed with Crab and garnished with a flavorful Chive Remoulade and Citrus Zest. Fisherman's Stew ($29) - a generous pot of Fish, Shrimp, Mussels and Herbs swimming in a zesty Tomato Broth served with crusty Focaccia Bread. Short Ribs ($28) - tender succulent boneless Ribs on top of a hearty Root Vegetable Hash of Potatoes, Carrots, Haricot Verts, Parsnip, Turnips and Rutabaga. Seared Salmon ($29) - perfectly prepared Salmon Loin on a bed of creamy Wild Mushroom Risotto and crowned with a bouquet of crispy roasted Asparagus. NOTE: Because Farm Table serves seasonal fare, the menu changes frequently. My one complaint concerns the wine list, which includes mostly higher-priced choices (especially for the red wines) and very little in the every-day price range. Overall, however, dinner at Farm Table was a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding experience. I highly recommend it. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Farm Table. Our server, Elaine, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable as well as attentive. The heirloom tomato-burrata appetizer was delicious, and our meals, the brisket special and salmon tacos special, were excellent. The room was a bit loud due to the high volume of diners but it made the atmosphere fun and dynamic. We will definitely be back! read more

This is more of 2.5 stars. Second time and here and the first time was decent and thought maybe they were just off tonight or something. After this second time, seems like it's the norm. Farm table = fresh, but about half of your plate is fresh. We got the bolognese and the sauce is actually really good but the pasta is clearly just store bought. With a name like farm table, you'd think the pasta would be fresh made but ya it's not. The other dish we got was the bruschetta pasta and it was not good. So much vinegar, flavors way off, chicken nothing special, and again pasta clearly from a box. Definitely skip over this one. Also got an old fashioned and..... not very good. Old fashioned is supposed to be bourbon forward, this was just pure "let's make this super fruity and sweet", and the color of the drink when it came out should've warned me beforehand (it was purple). They do have some good flavors but they are definitely missing something to push them over where I'd go here on the regular, which sucks since we live so close to it. read more

My friend recommended this for dinner and I would absolutely come back!! I was between a 4 and a 5 because our waitress wasn't the best, but overall I think it's still earning the 5! The ambiance is super cute and I loved the holiday vibe they had going on. I started with a cocktail and my friend got a dirty martini. My drink wasn't the best I've had but I think it was partially my choice I made. My friend loved her martini. I got a Caesar salad, which the waitress warned us was big and she wasn't joking! I could've had it as my entree! It was delicious and probably the best Caesar salad I've had since moving to NC. We also split the pomme frites, which were also a good sized portion for the price. I got the chicken sliders, which was my least favorite of the food. It was a little dry and the biscuit to chicken ratio wasn't my fave. Overall, I'm looking forward to coming back and trying something else, but for sure getting the Caesar salad again! read more
