    Fried chicken
    Brian L.

    Farmerbrown is located at SFO across from Gate C5. You order at the back and then they bring your food and drinks to your table. The food comes out quickly, and so it's great option if you're hungry for a real meal but don't have too much time before your flight. The fried chicken comes with 2 pieces of boneless thigh, fries, and 2 dipping sauces of your choice. It was fried perfectly crisp and sizzling hot--super delish! The totchos were also really good, basically nachos with tater tots instead of tortilla chips. The totchos are definitely enough to eat as a meal by itself. The meal really hit the spot and ended up being the perfect meal with a couple glasses of draft beer. Farmerbrown is a great option to grab a few drinks and a quick and delicious meal, especially if your gate is nearby!

    The food was delicious!!! Oatmeal that hot the spot south fried cherries and brown sugar. A shrimp BLT- triple decker on sour dough, soul music playing loud enough to enjoy but not blaring. Located next to gate C6. The wait staff is polite, acknowledge you presence immediately and service is pretty fast!! It's the airport so it's price, but tasty Only draw back- they don't have all the fixings- tea no honey, no brown sugar or lemon at the condiment bar and no honey at all.

    Was nice and quiet on a Wednesday morning at 7:30 am. Ordered at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Food arrived quick and hot. I will say it's a lot of food and I think my husband and I could have shared my eggs and bacon breakfast and been fine. If we come through this way again we will definitely do that in the future. But a solid breakfast for eating at the airport. SFO doing it right, this is a bit of a walk from other gates C in Harvey Milk-Terminal 1 but worth it.

    I found myself at SFO with a delay on my flight home so I thought I'd find somewhere I could sit down with my laptop to work and get a decent meal in me since it would likely be a long day of travel ahead. In the area of the airport I was in there wasn't a ton to choose from, but I saw a chicken sandwich on the menu here and figured that sounded pretty solid so I made my way over. When you enter Farmerbrown you will find a little line where you order and then seat yourself. They will bring the food out to you. I ordered my chicken sandwich and fries which was exorbitantly expensive, but I expected that since it is the airport and for whatever reason all airports everywhere decide to super inflate their pricing. All of that aside, I found a table, got myself some water, logged into work, and waited for my sandwich. Now the reason why I'm giving two stars is because this sandwich was such a let down. First of all it was expensive, second of all it looked great when I got it, but it lacked really any flavor, and for a sit down place at an airport I was really hoping for something better than what I'd get at say, Popeyes or Chick Fil A. This was not even as good as what I would have gotten at a fast food spot. Overall I'd recommend you save your money, and seek out a to-go deli sandwich, or go to some fast food joint nearby, unless you are looking for a place to have a drink or really need a table.

    While waiting at the airport I tried this place .The service was underwhelming and not overly friendly, but the food was very good. I had the fried shrimp and fries basket and I immensely enjoyed both. The included hot sauce and cocktail sauce dipping options added to the delicious flavor. I liked the fries too; the cook did a masterful job with the menu. I washed it all down with an orange beer on tap and it would have made Blue Moon quite proud. If I'm back in SFO this is a place worth revisiting.

    Guava Mimosa, Cobb Salad with Fried Chicken
    Annie L.

    Nice place for when you get to the airport a little too early and want to sit down somewhere to eat and pass the time. I came on a Wednesday afternoon at around 11:15 am, and my flight wasn't until 1:45 pm. Normally, I'd just grab a coffee and small snack but I figured I had the time so I popped in. The line was decently long and the restaurant itself seemed bustling but there was still a good amount of ample seating available. I ordered a Cobb Salad ($17.95) with Fried Chicken ($6.00) and a Guava Mimosa ($12.50). The fried chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and lightly sweet and peppery. I was surprised by how ripe the avocado was too. They also gave a lot of bacon bits, egg, and blue cheese bits. I felt like there could've given a bit more ranch though. The guava mimosa is nothing exceptional, not to say it wasn't delightful, but just your typical mimosa. Not cheap, but the service was really quick and everything was pretty tasty and filling for airport food.

    Super greens salad with chicken.
    Natalie M.

    Was disappointed with the salads here. The chicken was plentiful but the actual greens part lacked the other ingredients like edamame, sunflower seeds and cranberries. How is this 17$ plus $6 or $8 for chicken or shrimp. So pricey for what you get! They should add more carrots and toppings. Deeply disappointed. Would not recommend. Staff are so friendly. Just disappointed that the food isn't that great.

    French Fries
    Melanie H.

    Since I had some time before my flight, I decided to grab a quick dinner at Farmerbrown. You order at the counter, and are given a number to take to a table. Jambalaya (4/5) - hearty jambalaya with lots of sausage and chicken Super greens salad with grilled chicken (3/5) - typical greens salad with a huge grilled chicken breast French fries (5/5) - perfect thicker French fries

    I haven't had this type of food at the airport, it actually caught me off guard and I have to admit that it's actually pretty good. We stopped at this place on our way to the gate a 8 in the morning. I had their famous burger while my wife and kids had the breakfast plate and the Nutella waffles. It was a bit confusing at first but you have to find a seat first and scan the barcode for the menu. Once you know what you want, you will need to walk to the front next to the bar to put in an order. We were amazed by how fast we got our food, took less than 5 minutes. Don't ask me how they did it but as long as it tasted good, I wasn't complaining..lol their service was good considering it's a semi self service restaurant. The restaurant is very clean and ambiance is great.

    Chicken sandwich with tots
    Theresa M.

    We got a fried chicken sandwich and fried chicken plate. With the chicken sandwich it was dry, which was surprising with the amount of coleslaw in the sandwich itself. The coleslaw was dry, just veggies. They give a hearty portion of tater tots. No sauce. The chicken plate they provided two sauces, I red spicy one, and a jalapeño sauce with plenty of flavor and kick.

    Decent menu. Friendly service. Smaller portions but well seasoned and better than a lot of the other sports bar type airport offerings.

    All the tables were dirty and no one cared to clean them off. We had to move the dirty plates and wipe the table ourselves.
    Mitch B.

    Must bus the table before seating. I guess the utility called out today. Wishing there were other places to dine in the terminal. C gates.

    Casey M.

    The skin was super crispy, like, it made this awesome crunching sound when you bite into it. And the meat inside was so tender and juicy--it was just amazing. But the fries were just okay, nothing special, but not bad either.

    Excellent service! My only advice is to come and see for yourself. When we called to ask about a…read morewait, they mentioned there was not wait... part of the reason they do that is because they don't keep a list. You either have reservations or you're a walk in and you stand in line until a table is available for you. At first this was strange, but I think it makes for a better experience. The team was incredible, they were so kind on a day that can be stressful for a small restaurant. We had incredible food. I was so happy to get my Eggs Royale and my husband said the French toast was the best he's ever had. (Even comparing it to French toast in Paris) No notes. This will be our Mother's Day place going forward next time with reservations.

    My partner and I decided to go to the city one weekend and decided we wanted brunch. After looking…read morethrough some place, we came across Sisterita and it looked very promising. It seems like this place is an asian fusion brunch place incorporating french dishes into thai/asian themed dishes which is up our alley. We made a reservation at 1:45 PM and we had to wait for about an extra 30 minutes before getting seated. Initially, I wanted to try their crab fried rice but unfortunately they were out of crab. We decided to get the Alcatraz Escape and the Brioche french toast which were recommended by the wait staff. The staff was generally friendly and accommodating but I can tell they were swamped and stressed out with all the people they were trying to serve. The food itself tasted decent, the Alcatraz Escape had a tasty flavor which incorporates tom yum paste (sweet, sour, tangy flavor) into their scramble with about 4 shrimps. The side of crispy chicken was good but nothing that stood out to us. The brioche was soft but there wasn't much flavoring besides the fruits and caramelized banana. It was served with evaporated milk which made the brioche soft but not adding much flavor to it. The price however was quite pricey. For two dishes as a side we paid around $78 with tax and tip.

    I still love Brenda's!!!!!!!…read more I haven't been back in a few years, but I am happy to report: they are still just as great! It was my daughter's first time and she loved it just as much as I did. We came during restaurant week so we decided to get the Creole Sampler so she could try a bunch of different items. (Sampler included red beans and rice, collard greens, fried catfish, hush puppies, plain beignet and gumbo). We also ordered the beignet flight and shrimp and grits. Plenty of food for the 2 of us, plus we had left overs. I can't not order the shrimp and grits. It's just so damn good! It's so rich and flavorful! It came out SUPER hot. Grits and cheese still bubbling. My daughter and I were both surprised she liked the collard greens. She's usually not a fan. She also liked the red beans and rice and she doesn't usually like beans either. That just goes to show how amazing the food is here! We came in around 4something pm on a rainy Sunday. There weren't many people there, but by the time we left it was more than half full. Service was friendly, and there was a band playing, which was a nice touch.

Let me start with the star of the show - the Shrimp & Grits. The flavors blended so well I did a little dance in my seat. Creamy, savory and delicious! I will be dreaming about the Shrimp and Grits from now on. The Bananas Foster French Toast melted in my mouth. So yummy. I wasn't a fan of the Crawfish Beignets. It was something about the flavor of the red powder/ seasoning that left me underwhelmed. All in all, one of my favorite stops while I was in town.
