They serve breakfast food all day along with lunch items. I LOVE their crispy hashbrown potatoes. They are SO good!! They also make the bacon super crispy and eggs perfectly. Service is great and even if you have to wait for a seat, it doesn't take long. There is extra parking behind the restaurant.

Since last year I've ways gotten the French toast egg and cheese with the meat on the side…read more I really wish I had taken photos of what I got yesterday but I didn't because I was too hungry. My French toast was just cinnamon bread and wasn't dipped in the egg wash and pan fried/ seared. And the country ham I got on the side looked soggy and grey. Like too it was too wet. Could've been seared a little at least so it was kinda crispy but no. So I tossed it. Wasted a whole $2.50 on a slice of that that's like the side of a dollar bill. And $1.10 for a slice of cheese? C'Mon now baby smh Still gonna keep taking my business there because I love local restaurants but I'll be more cautious about what I get now.

The Farmhouse fills up quickly on a weekend morning. Service was friendly and not rushed at all. I met the owner and he was super nice. That alone made me want to return. Coffee was OK, though there was a wait for it. I'm not really a traditional breakfast person, but the blueberry pancakes are fantastic. They are delicious with tons of blueberries. I wished the potatoes were a little crispier and better seasoned. Bacon was good. I'd absolutely return for breakfast, though I'm also looking forward to trying other menu items.

Veteran-owned. it serves classic, comforting American dishes that feel familiar in the best way. Breakfast is available all day, which is always a win, and everything comes out fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The coffee deserves its own mention: bold, fresh, and honestly excellent. Portions are just right, prices are moderate, and nothing feels rushed or careless. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the kind of place you immediately feel comfortable settling into. Chris (Gosh I hope I got his name right) , the owner, is meticulous and clearly takes immense pride in his establishment, and it shows in every detail--from the food to the service.

I ate one of the most tender and moist fried chicken breasts that I have ever tasted. the mashed potatoes were fresh, hot and creamy, two types of gravy were offered and both the cornbread and biscuits were tender, flavorful and delicious. The broccoli was steamed but not not floppy and the green salad was a generous portion of green goodness. I could only eat about half of the offerings and the price was less that $12. from where I was sitting, my daughter's bar be que chicken and Mac and cheese looked great and my granddaughters child portion of turkey dinner was as delicious and generous as the adult meals.

You get nice proportions and food isn't too salty. I have no complaints and I rather go here over Cracker Barrel! Fight me... Lol!! I usually order the pancakes or French toast.

It was a damn quarter sized onion lol!

I should have listened to the locals when they told me this was a place that I should not have gone…read moreto. I went because they had gnocchi on the menu and I thought how bad could it really be how bad can Italian food be right? I also had read in a previous review about their Caesar dressing and how it had real anchovies in it and it was homemade. I was super excited to have the Caesar salad with chicken as my meal as I wasn't that hungry and I love Caesar salad dressing with anchovies. I'm giving this place two stars because the waitress was extremely nice now granite we were the only people in the restaurant two other couples did come in as we were sitting there. Between the local reviews, the empty parking lot and then the country music on in an Italian restaurant I should've known. But we forged ahead. So we ordered the garlic basil shrimp as an appetizer, it was good. It was fine, but it lacked a lot of flavor. My son then had the gnocchi which he substituted the Parmesan sauce for red sauce and asked for a meatball instead of the chicken or sausage. I again ordered the big Caesar salad salad with chicken as my entrée, along with a glass of wine, that clearly had been opened a bit too long and not properly sealed. The Kohl's frozen garlic bread from your freezer section of your grocery store had more flavor than the garlic bread that came out with my son's dish the two meatballs that were huge in size had no flavor at all while the gnocchi was great and consistency. The sauce itself again lacked any flavor at all. My lettuce was not fresh the Caesar dressing if it was homemade was very thin and watery , and the chicken breast they asked for it to be put on top of it had no seasonings on it whatsoever. I would not go back here and I hope that you reading this considers it, this review and what all the locals told me, before you decide to go.

Our seafood pasta was delicious and loaded with a good amount of seafood. The prices are very fair and the service was good. The wine selection was ok. The food was very tasty, that's the most important thing. ( PS: It's completely authentic to have anchovies in a Cesar salad, but it's not commonly added in the majority of restaurants. Because anchovy is usually a love it or a hate it ingredient, it would be helpful to mention on the menu that the Nonna's Cesar salad dressing contains anchovies.)
