    Wild rice soup
    Janae J.

    I love farmers kitchen they have really good coffee and cookies but this time I needed lunch and grabbed the wild rice soup. It was piping hot!! Nice flavor maybe more salt that I need but still enjoyable. And they have a great location near the Guthrie and the stone arch bridge

    My kids breakfast plate
    Bobbie H.

    Stopped at this cute little kitchen after visiting the Stonebridge arch festival. Had brunch with a coworker. It was delicious and I was so happy my server allowed me to order off of the kids menu with a small up charge since I wasn't feeling super hungry. Great brunch options! Love the people watching from the window nice location downtown.

    First time here. I went with two friends all of us ordered the turkey sandwich. The chips that come with them are salty and tasty! I substituted Mn wild rice soup instead of the chips, super yummy. The restaurant offers great sandwich's, salads and drinks. Also a lil coffee shop at the entrance. They do specials as well like a blueberry coffee. The wait staff was not super friendly except one gal. Multiple people serve each of the tables.

    We've been wanting to visit here for a while, and since it's in the heart of the Mill City farmers market it was a great time to stop. All of our food was great and even though it was busy, we got seated right away and service was great. We also loved the old photos and photo mural artwork. Always happy to support local farmers. :)

    Bison meatballs

    The bison meatballs were amazing as were the salads we ordered. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our server explained the menu to us so we could capture a better idea of the items we were ordering.

    Cute place next to the Saturday farmer's' market by the Gutherie theater Small menu with foods sourced from Minnesota farms. Even though it was a very busy lunchtime, rush, we were able to get a table for two. Service was pretty good. The framers breakfast features turkey sausage- which's is very dry. The "jam" for the toast was not sweet and was more like a fruit purée. I suspect the potatoes were deep fried? Then tossed w sautéed onion and peppers. The 8-grain griddle cake was great.

    Burger

    We stopped here after a Guthrie performance as there are limited options on a Sunday. Three of us ordered the burgers and they were just okay. Kind of dry. The asparagus soup was good. One ordered the turkey sandwich and said it was good.

    Joe, good service, keepnit up my man. They wer outnof Grain Belt but theybreplaced the HH price with another similar chice, that was nice, very good business practice. Bar bites had to gonwith the very different walleye cake, scrumptious, and tjat chef better keep that tarter sauce secret...so good. Im a cook, ima tey to mimic that cuz so good. Mentioned earlier servive top notch, workers having fun amd thats important...5 stars.

    Seasonal Bruschetta

    This is a small spot across the street from the Guthrie theater. Street parking was pretty easy to find, even within a couple of hours of the show performance. We couldn't get a reservation when we called a few days earlier, and we were lucky enough to get some barstools along the window. The server was very friendly, but drinks and food were quite slow to arrive. It must be very challenging in the kitchen as I'm imagining they probably have like the entire restaurant ordering at almost the same time prior to showtime? But now let's get to the heart of this review. The food I had was excellent. I was absolutely blown away by the daily special: harvest bowl with Delicata squash. Portions are generous, the food is fresh and flavorful. My dish had so many textures and just the right amount of sauce and garnishes and beautiful vegetables...definitely one of my favorite dishes of the year! We each ordered one of the specialty cocktails, which were tied to the themes of the currently running Guthrie shows, very clever. They were all tasty and beautifully presented. I really liked this place a lot, and would definitely come here again. I might actually try to come at a time during the show performances to avoid the rush next time, but I recommend you check their hours carefully because they do close earlier than most places.

    Farmer's Union Breakfast

    Food was unbelievable - love how quality the ingredients are and that it's sourced locally from Farmer's Union. Service was great. Parking was actually really easy and convenient. The ambiance was also incredible, especially on Saturday morning despite the crowds. Incredible spot!!

    Pork belly
    Jason S.

    I've been to this place twice now and really like my second experience. First time around I went for lunch and liked the food but the ordering at the counter experience was not the best and I think didn't suit the restaurant. This time I went back for dinner and they were full service. The server said they had just transition and it was a much better experience. Food was fantastic. I had the pork belly sandwich and it was tremendous. NA cider was the best I've had and paired well. The person I came with said he was going to eat half his burger but he ate the whole thing it was o good. Loved the space as well which paid homage to the Minnesota farmers where the ingredients come from. Will definitely be back.

    Lukewarm and too much foam for latte. But beautiful art.
    Eman S.

    5 stars for food and service 2 stars for coffee Right next to the Guthrie Center, Farmers Kitchen & Bar uses a number of locally sourced ingredients and it made my harvest bowl feel, well, harvested. Fresh and bright pesto, beautifully cooked grains, veggies and eggs. I really enjoyed the bowl. The cheesecake brownie tasted healthy, so I'll leave you to decide if that's a good or a bad thing for you. They weren't able to heat any of the baked goods. The coffee was meh. Really meh. I ordered the seasonal caramel apple latte. The milk wasn't too foamy to be a latte. The syrup was not locally or made in house. The truly unacceptable piece here was that my hot latte was already lukewarm by the time it reached the table. This is my biggest pet peeve. To charge $6, or any money at all for a hot drink that I can guarantee, sees this problem regularly, isn't ok in my book. Service was wonderful and space is limited, but the vibes are overall cute of the place.

The latte came garnished with rose petals and was not too sweet. It was a nice way to start my meal. Then came the sweet potatoes, and oh my God, I think they were the best sweet potatoes I've ever had. They were unbelievably, delectably sweet and cooked perfectly. They had an excellent char while being soft on the inside. And the sweetness was complemented nicely by the maple chili crisp, which had just a bit of a kick. The bison skirt steak tacos were also delicious. The bison was so tender and juicy. Full of flavor and cooked superbly. My server wasn't kidding when she said the tacos were big enough to share between a few people. I ate the tacos by myself, and I was beyond stuffed. Alas, I wasn't a big fan of the spoonbread. The flavor wasn't bad, but I didn't care for the texture, which was a little too coarse for me. The dessert was gluten-free, and I could REALLY tell. It was also too spicy for me. The spoonbread was drenched in hot honey. But the sweet potatoes, tacos, and attentive & friendly service more than made up for it. The restaurant isn't cheap (especially for a solo diner), but I've seen worse prices for worse food. And I'm eager to check out their new location the next time I'm in Minneapolis. Note - if you pay with a credit card, it does come with a 3% fee.
