Excellent food, generous portions and very friendly and excellent service! I only wish I could give this place six stars! read more

Great food and menu items good prices very friendly staff. Always joy dining here. Awesome breakfast.

Excellent food at really reasonable prices. Top Quality! Friendly service! Cute place. Definitely going back.

About as country as you can get... We had dinner here, the fish fry. It was ok but nothing to write home about. The Perch was ok. Twice baked potatoes were nothing special and the coleslaw was coleslaw. The place is clean but I'm pretty sure there were some health code violations in plain few. I would not return here for dinner. read more

Dumpy looking from outside, cozy diner feel inside, though the tape holding the booth seats together is a bit unsightly. Chicken dumping soup was so salty I returned it. Mushroom and swiss burger looked like canned mushrooms and sadly the slice of swiss (?) cheese wasn't melted. Won't be going back. Did I mention the waitress who was overly friendly and talked through most of our meal? She was sweet, but was a bit too "familiar" in conversation with strangers. read more

The interior has a rustic county charm, but the people are fun, friendly and attentive and the food is simply spot on!

Excellent food! Hamburgers, fish sandwich were GREAT! Coming back for dinner to see how good it is. Going to have liver and onions, husband going to have poor mans lobster. Will let you know. read more

One of my favorites amazing food and very friendly servers and the owners there selfs are just amazing people love it here highly recommend

Tracy and her staff try REALLY hard to give you the feeling of being a welcome guest in her home kitchen, not just a restaurant. The food is great! I only know Tracy from high school and as a customer in her restaurant, but she and her staff make me feel as welcome as if we were good friends. Fridays get pretty busy but if you have to wait, they will do their best to make it worth your patience. My son is very picky when it comes to soup. I was surprised when he ordered the chicken dumpling soup a few weeks ago. He said it was really good and he'll get it again. He really liked their cheeseburger. We both liked the mixed basket. One of the best fish places in the city. That's a true compliment because there are a few really good fish options in Antigo. I look forward to trying more menu options! Fish Fry Friday! I hope to see you there! read more

Charming, fun, good food , more than ample servings and cheap. Wow! We had the 1/2 Broasted chicken which was excellent and took about half home. We plan on returning. read more

This establishment has been a traditional stop (for sentimental reasons only!) for many, many years, and it has never been updated in all those years. Yes, the place has been here a long time, but...it's pretty much a dive...a 'greasy spoon' if you will. There's a bar attached to the dining area in the next room, and it's even more seedy than the restaurant itself. Once upon a time, the 'broasted' chicken dinner was quite good (back when it was called The Peaceful Valley Inn), but those days are gone.. On one recent occasion the Broasted Chicken Dinner, a 'house specialty" mind you, was so overcooked that the meat on the leg, thigh and wing virtually disappeared. This is hard to understand since broasters have a timer and therefore there's no reason for over (or under) cooking. The dinner salad is a joke...literally a small handful of lettuce. You'd best get fries or a baked potato as the mashed variety is pretty bland. There were no dinner rolls, only a couple of slices of bread...and very thin slices of something budget priced at that. The vegetable du jour (corn) came out of a can, and could only have been some kind of generic brand. Even the flimsy knives, forks and spoons felt like they were out of a child's play set. The restrooms? They're actually quite pitiful...like the type you'd find in a 40 year old gas station. These are worse...smaller even. The kitchen looks like a disaster area and there doesn't appear to be any happy campers working in it.. Guess I can't blame 'em. It's a mystery to me why the folks can't these folks invest a few dollars and slap down some fresh paint? How about expending just a little good old-fashion elbow grease to enhance their customer's dining experience? It's like there's absolutely no pride in or no care at all about the looks of the place, inside or out. Nostalgia's one thing...old and run down is another. An old place, in and of itself, can be forgiven...loved even, if the food is good. The only thing nostalgic about a visit here is an assortment of pictures of the building from many, many (maybe 80?) years ago. They're nice, but their significance is lost against the shoddy backdrop of the place in general. For a restaurant to be successful. its got to have at least one thing goin' for it...either atmosphere (or charm), or good food. There's neither of either to be found here. If a chicken dinner is what you're after, you'd probably be better off visiting the "Colonel"...and that ain't sayin' much! I can't believe I'm actually sayin' this, but the food, such as it is, and the atmosphere, such as it is, at KFC are a vast improvement over this sad, sad relic. Even McDonald's (barely!) is a better choice...at least the kids will be happy. read more

Had the taco omelette and the ham and cheese omelette. This is definitely there specialty. They were delicious and the waitress was so nice. Best home cooking I've had in a while. Must stop by for yourself. Btw, the homemade chicken dumpling soup is awesome too. Served every day! Breakfast is served all day too. read more

It might be nostalgia talking, but in my mind I always compare fish frys to what I can get at Farmer's Home. Inexpensive and excellent. The coleslaw is the best I've ever had in my entire life. The french fries are done to perfection. The fish is plentiful. The rye bread fresh. It doesn't get any better than this. read more

I checked this site for good fish fries in Antigo, WI. The Farmers Home was on the list of the best. I was not disappointed. I had an excellent perch fish fry at an unbelievably low price. Excellent service, friendly staff. I don't get to Antigo very often, but when I do, I'll stop for a fish fry at the Farmers Home. read more

Delicious food, breakfast especially, and it's cheap. If that's not enough, the delightful mom n' pop feel and the friendly service should reel you in. It's nothing fancy but it'll fill you up for cheap and the rustic flavors will leave you with a warm, satisfied belly. read more

New to town, looking for a good diner and boy did we find it. Husband found this place online and said it had good reviews so we packed up our two teenage boys and drove up to what looked like a dive bar. Inside is a typical old school diner. Already promising. I love breakfast food. I can eat breakfast for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Savory, sweet. Love it all. Anyway, cook and waitress were very friendly. We ordered pancakes, biscuits and gravy, hash browns, country fried steak, eggs, sausage and white toast. Service was good and fast. Everything was excellent! But I just have to GUSH about my white toast. I remember way back when when you would get buttered toast. Not toast with a side of butter, but buttered toast. My perfectly toasted white bread was sliced diagonally. I said out loud, OMG - they buttered it! And then I took a bite. It was glorious! The bread was crunchy yet as you bit you got an explosion of melted butter. How did they do this?!? My husband looked at me like I was crazy. He was stuffed from his breakfast but I implored him to take a bite out of my toast. How is the toast not soggy from all the melted butter? He took a bite and his expression said it all. That's some good ass toast. read more

I have eaten there twice. The first time I ordered a French Dip sandwich, possibly the worst I've ever had. Dry, thick sliced (rather than typical thin sliced) and completely flavorless. But the second visit however...was a Fish Fry on Friday night, close to, if not the best I've ever had! read more

Farmers Home - a blue car parked in front of a restaurant - American Near Me - Antigo, Wisconsin

Great experience. Julie our waitress and Tracy her daughter and chef were marvelous. Fun banter back and forth -- I asked for a local beer, she replied "Pabst is local." We ordered the Wednesday special: 1/2 chicken dinner. The chicken dumpling soup was homemade and flavorful. The plate of chicken was amazing -- light frying with tender, moist meat. And then there was the twice baked potato. And then the mud pie. I left stuffed and paid $25 for two. We're here from the SF Bay Area and the hospitality, curiosity, fun, warmth of the interactions and dinner were memorable -- exactly what were hoping to find in rural, northern Wisconsin. read more

It's a hidden gem in Antigo. From the DC area and I visit Antigo quite often and I always make sure I come to Farmers Home! Great service and delicious food. I always get the fish fr and I'm never disappointed. I'm not a big coleslaw fan but it is so good here!! Make sure to stop by!! read more

Good simple drinks and good home cooked food at a small price. This place is NOT a tourist attraction, but a local's haven. Mostly an older crowd, you can tell this building and this buisiness has been around for ages. And the hospitality shows. Great food, great drinks, great peolpe, good prices, the kind of shabby building would be my only complaint, but a real true aged traditional place to hear about old time tories. read more

Off the beaten path, but was worth it. If you like a "ma and pa" type restaurant, you'll like it here! Food was very good, prices were excellent! Had breakfast, but the chicken looked awesome! Will definitely go back! Coffee was very good too! read more

Had the chicken Dinner. Very good good prices. Friendly waitress and cherry pie was also good for desert

Never ate here before did not what to expect Friday fish is best around the area.coleslaw excellent atmosphere nothing fancy great food highly recommend.will be stopping again. Try the clam chowder. read more

Place needs a serious interior face-lift. My problem is, if they can't keep the inside looking new and fresh then obviously they aren't busy enough to afford the changes and the food probably isn't very good. I ordered the Bacon Double Cheeseburger with fries, everything about the whole meal was three stars, Waitress OK, Food OK, Price OK. The burgers didn't fit on the bun, the fries just didn't taste good, chocolate milk was a little warm. The place was just so dumpy that everything might of been a little better if I didn't feel like the ceiling was about to fall in. read more
