    California Burger with Fries
    Ab6485 ..

    I had the California Burger with Fries and it was amazing! I've been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. The service is amazing and the restaurant has a nice decor.

    Steak sandwich...

    Highly disappointed ordered the steak sandwich...no flavor..it was supposed to come with onions tomatoes and lettuce....half leaf lettuce, diced grilled onions and no tomatos....this is what I got...over priced food

    Ribeye steak dinner

    Food was seasoned well. Good portions. Cute decorations. My friend ordered the prime rib med rare and his potato loaded with the clam chowder. I ordered the rib-eye steak medium with loaded baked potato and salad. They sent him a steak. He noticed it right away. We didn't say anything at first. Before we left we told the waitress so they are aware of the mistake. She didn't apologize. She just told us that they cook their prime rib differently.Which i'm sorry that is not the case. I went through the photos and found a picture of a prime rib. Totally different. We didnt argue. We paid and tipped but I'm going giving 3 starts because of that reason. It was a mistake which is ok. We are human but she handled it wrong. Also she never mentioned upcharges on a soup. It was 4 dollars. Not a big deal but you should always mention if its an upcharge. Kinda disappointing.

    First, let me declare a bias at the outset for little places like this one, most often family run. We are losing them in a business environment that doesn't get any easier, and we sorely need that personal attention, the opportunities these businesses give people to work, socialize and enjoy themselves in a place where their patronage is truly appreciated. The Farmer's Den provides all of that and has good food to boot. The Farmer's Den is located at the corner of Crow's Landing and West Main, south of Modesto, west of Turlock. The parking can be challenging as road improvements over the years have taken much of the available space. My suggestion, take a good look around and park where you can. We got lucky, there was a space just to the left of the front door. Our visit was on 10-9-2024, when my stepmother and I were returning from visiting my Father's grave at the nearby veteran's cemetery. (It was four years since his passing.) We were greeting immediately upon entering, directed to choose our table from the several that were well kept and ready to go. Our waitress took our drink orders and left the menus promptly. While we waited, we both noticed how well decorated and kept the place was, (we both have lived in the region all of our lives and had never stopped by). The food came promptly, was well portioned. Mine, a chef's salad didn't have the mountain of lettuce under the meat and cheese you usually see at some restaurants, giving the impression that you are getting more (well you are, but I suspect most folks eat the proteins and leave much of the lettuce). The dish was fresh and flavorful. The ice tea seemed brewed and was spot on. My stepmother ordered a large breakfast with the intention of taking what she didn't finish home with her, which she did. She seemed to be satisfied with her meal. All around, full points, and I know that I will be stopping by with my wife on a future trip through here.

    Got the French toast and it was so good. Only 2nd time here but they were quick both times. Makes me think I could squeeze this place in during the work week.

Staff was super friendly, went out of their way to make sure the tables were tidy, and refilled drinks really quick. The restaurant is smaller than you expect it to be, but it is cozy, friendly, and not overly loud. We only had a 10 minute wait when we arrived and they were packed. Our waiter Kyle was on point, introduced himself and dropped the special of the day with gusto. If I hadn't already had a ton of carbs for the day I would have gone with it. Ended up ordering the scallops, and fried zucchini appetizers. Scallops are served almost like a soup. The sauce in the bowl was to die for. I'm thinking white wine, and lemon were the major components. It was phenomenal. Fried zucchini was super tasty and is coming home with us. I'd swear it was enough to feed 4 people. For mains, we ordered pot roast and fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Wife loved the pasta and chicken. Surprisingly enough she ate it all, none to go which is super rare for her. Pot roast was fantastic. Mashed potatoes were on point, the mixed vegetables were amazing. When you get broccoli and carrots on the same plate and neither have a mushy texture it makes me happy Will definitely be back again in the future.

You can hear the music they are playing. Our server, Kyle, came out to let us know the special. He put our appetizers in before even thinking about our food. They were spaced out just right. He was also Johnny on the spot with refills and kept checking on us. Ok now onto the food. It was delicious! Hubby had scallops as an appetizer and pot roast for his main dish. I had fried zucchini and then fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. I like my chicken on the side so I only add what I want. This place is just down from the freeway exit and is only open for lunch & dinner. If you are passing through Modesto, get off and come eat some good food. It is totally worth it!

In reality, there are/were only two: the original location (and now closed since 2024) in Buellton and this location in Santa Nella. It turned out that we needed to take a break and gas up around lunchtime very close by, so decided to stop in for lunch. It ended up being OK. This second location has been open since 1976 and is located in a huge building with tons of seating and a large retail space. It has a separate downstairs dining room (available if your party is large), a large bar in the back (open during lunch though only one person was in there), and an upstairs not accessible during lunchtime. We came at exactly 11:00 and they had begun serving lunch. We were led to our seats, and someone came by with water. There seemed to be some confusion on who was supposed to serve us, and we were ignored for a while, even as other folks were being seated. Finally, a waitress came back (guessing she wasn't our original one, but had to pivot) and took our order. Not particularly friendly in the beginning (ended up being talkative at the end as my wife had struck up a conversation), but got our order correct. The food came out soon after, and it was served all together and was still warm when we got them. My wife and I have been to the Andersen's in Buellton and had slightly different memories of how good the split pea soup was. We ordered a cup ($6.99), and didn't even have to tell the waitress what kind of soup we wanted. The soup was good for the first couple spoonful, but didn't end up finishing it; glad we ordered a small cup. My wife and her mom split a Teriyaki Chicken dinner ($21.50) and they liked it: nothing fancy, just one chicken breast grilled and topped with bottled teriyaki sauce and a pineapple slice. I got the Danish Style Meatloaf ($21.99, was planning to share with my wife) and it seemed well made with generous portions, but neither of us liked it (the pork/beef mixture with breadcrumbs was very finely ground and reminded me of a mealy German sausage without the casing). Both the soup and meatloaf would have been good as small samples from a buffet while grazing, but are difficult as a main course for our taste. Both plates came with a from-frozen vegetable medley (broccoli, carrots, and zucchini), along with a rice pilaf for the chicken plate. We did buy some trinkets at the gift shop. I wanted to get a Danish, but ended up sharing a Cinnamon Crisp, a giant cookie covered in cinnamon sugar. It was really good, definitely worth the $5.50 price.

We were visiting from out of town and decided to stop by because of the excellent reviews this place had received. When we first walked in, one of the employees asked what I wanted. I explained that I was waiting for my husband before ordering. She responded by saying, "Oh well, they're waiting," referring to the customers behind me. I immediately replied, "That's fine, go ahead!" so the other customers could order first, but her reaction afterward felt dismissive and somewhat annoyed. We later placed and paid for our order. Shortly after, my husband decided he wanted a Biscoff latte instead, so we politely asked if the drink could be changed. Another employee kindly stepped in and said she could do it, which we appreciated. I specifically asked for the drink to be changed to an iced Biscoff latte. Unfortunately, when the drinks came out, mine was still hot instead of iced. I went back up respectfully and let them know there had been a mix-up. Both employees looked at each other and chuckled in what came across as annoyance. I even apologized for the inconvenience, but the first employee responded by saying, "We are just too busy." I completely understand that working in customer service can be overwhelming, and I always try to be patient and understanding. However, at the time there were only a couple of seated customers and just the two of us waiting for our drinks, so the comment felt unnecessary. By that point, the interaction from the moment we walked in had already made the experience feel uncomfortable. We ended up grabbing our drinks and leaving disappointed. I usually enjoy leaving positive reviews, especially for small businesses, so it was unfortunate because we came in excited after reading such wonderful things about this place.
