    Sorry, all the food. It was bland and a waste of money. They did not have Mimosas as advertised so they gave her some white wine with orange juice. We went out of the way on the way to Long Beach because it had good Reviews. Oh well...

    I stopped by Farmers Den and had their very delicious Grilled Chicken Supreme Sandwich. If you haven't had this you definitely need to try it. I had it with seasoned fries that were really tasty. I had a lemonade for my beverage. The service and food never disappoint and the atmosphere is small town USA which I love.

    Chile verde omelet

    Hubby and I had the day off and want to have spend the day together and we start with a delicious breakfast, he always tells me about this place with the previous owner, and after a few yelp's review we decided to go As soon we enter we were greeted for the most kindest waitress , she was the only one and she was kind and take the time to explain me about things in the menu , later a Dad and his little daughter enter to the restaurant and omg she give the best customer service to the little one , , she was taking the order directly from her , giving option like a custom plate, if you planing to take your little ones to breakfast this is the place When we were ready , hubby order famous Chile Verde Omelet and I was craving the chicken fried steak with eggs, both dishes came with an option of pancakes . The chile verde omelet was delicious, salsa is freshly made at the restaurant, and that make a big difference my fried chicken was delicious hash brown were so good everything was really fresh but... the pancakes were the best! I love this place , is a little place but lots of sitting, great food and service for sure we are coming back

    Ribeye steak dinner
    Ruby G.

    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.

    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

    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.

I was shocked when the server mentioned that for the omelette they use already premade mix (with milk), I mean come on! Any decent breakfast place I know use garden fresh eggs. Premade mix for omelette is another strange thing. Overall an average place, I don't know why this place has good reviews and so hyped up. Come on folks, make pancake/ Omelette at home and save the wait time! Also Modesto area needs better restaurants!

We ordered: Breakfast Tots Grilled Fruit & Brie Berry lemon cheesecake waffle Coffee flight Everything was amazing. I love tater tots and adding the breakfast staples on top made it 5x better. The only thing that would knock it out of the park is some salsa. My friend enjoyed their grilled fruit and Brie. I really enjoyed the berry lemon cheesecake waffle.

If you're planning a Saturday or Sunday visit you definitely want to make a reservation! Based off my first visit I would have give this place 4 stars. The drinks are delicious, the food is incredible with good portions, and everything of course looks great visually as well. The main con the first visit was that service was extremely slow and there was a drink ordered that was completely forgotten about, however they were clearly short staffed and when we did have service she was very apologetic and friendly and comped the beverage so we had no complaints. We went back this month for my birthday and while everything we did have was once again delicious, they were out of a decent portion of the menu. Off the top of my head they were out of all flavors of deviled eggs, pulled pork, tuna for the poke stack and poke bowl, risotto balls, some wines, and a couple other things I don't recall. The first couple times the waitress said something we wanted was out we didn't mind and pivoted, especially since she said those were the only items they were out of. However, it quickly became evident that was not the case. She said the reason was it was Sunday and they are only open Thursday-Sunday so they often run out of stock during the Sunday rush. Like I said earlier, the last time I was there on a Sunday there was no issue with items being unavailable, and I feel like if this is a recurring issue maybe that's something that should be looked at when ordering for the week? But I also am not in the restaurant business so who knows maybe this isn't that unusual. It was just a bummer to go for my birthday excited to try certain things, only to ultimately end up with a chicken Caesar salad (which was still good though!). There were still pros with this recent visit, again everything looked and tasted great and the service was friendly and much quicker than the previous visit. The mimosa flights are fun and there's a ton of flavors to choose from. We got a seasonal peach toast appetizer to share and it was so good. I look forward to coming back soon to give it another shot and will update once I do!

We were initially told there would be a 20-minute wait, which was totally fine. Then things got a little... interesting. Two different staff members told the greeter at the front that our table was ready, but we were still asked to keep waiting. About 15 minutes into our wait, a party of 7 walked in and was told they would have a table ready for them. At that point, we decided our party of 3 had apparently been moved to the "please continue waiting indefinitely" category and we left. What made this especially strange was that there were five tables for four open. We understand that restaurants get busy and that seating can be complicated, but this situation just didn't make sense. If a table is available and staff are saying it's ready, why keep guests waiting while a much larger party is welcomed in? The food may be great, but the customer experience left us scratching our heads. Every customer should feel like they're important -- whether they're a party of 3, 7, or even just one person. Hopefully management can take a look at what happened, because this was a very unusual experience.
