I decided to explore a couple of the popular menu items. Frozen Lemonade: This thick, slushy signature beverage was quite refreshing. It was blended with crushed ice. This was an excellent drink and was satisfied, until I realized something; I ordered a frozen mint lemonade, not a frozen lemonade. Although my server unintentionally confused the drinks, it was still decent. I got caught up in this tasty beverage I by the time I realized it was the incorrect beverage I had already finished it! Farmhouse Panko Chicken Club: Named after the cafe, this crispy chicken sandwich was topped with avocado, bacon, and cheddar. The toppings blended perfectly, especially when served on ciabatta bread. This sandwich was really tasty, but it was very pricey for its size. French fries or a house salad is included with the sandwich. On a positive note, I was allowed to substitute kale for the romaine. The balsamic dressing mixed perfectly with the salad. I was told that cucumber and tomatoes would be included with the sandwich. However, the salad only included tomatoes. The food was overall decent, but there were inconsistencies in the lunch order. This kind of surprised me because the location was not crowded. Since multiple mistakes were made, I cannot promise there will be a future visit. #farmhousecafe #farmhousecafeandeatery #farmhousepankochickenclub

Farmhouse is one of those neighborhood spots that stays in our regular rotation. It's a cute place…read morein Westwood that definitely lives up to its name with its cozy, rustic farmhouse vibe. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great option year-round. The menu is extensive, so there's something for just about everyone. As someone who has to eat gluten-free, I do wish they offered a few more GF options. That said, I really appreciate that they have gluten-free bread and wraps. My go-to order is the grilled chicken pesto wrap on a gluten-free wrap, and during the colder months, I love pairing a meal with one of their soups. I just wish there were more gluten-free side options besides a salad. They also have a nice selection of non-caffeinated iced teas, which is always a bonus when you're looking for something different to drink. Service can be on the slower side, especially during busy lunch or dinner hours, so it's best not to come if you're in a rush. The restaurant has a few TVs that are usually showing sports, giving it a relaxed neighborhood feel, and the bathrooms have consistently been clean whenever I've visited. If you pay with cash, you'll avoid the credit card service fee. One thing to know before you go: parking in downtown Westwood can be a bit of a headache. Pay attention to the parking signs and meters. Although, I would love to see the farmhouse expand their gluten-free menu, it is a reliable local spot with good food, a welcoming atmosphere, and enough variety to keep us coming back.

The French onion dumplings were actually the best thing I had... crispy on the outside, cheesy, and full of flavor. Everything else missed the mark. The fish tacos were huge but the swordfish was under-seasoned, the mushroom soup had an overpowering acidic note, and while my date liked his rigatoni bolognese, I wasn't impressed by much else. It's on the pricier side, and it was completely empty when we were there, which made the vibe feel a little flat. I might come back just for those dumplings and a drink, but I wouldn't rush for a full dinner here.

We were seated in sort of an annex; It's additional seating they have a couple of stores down. Weird, but welcome as the original place is like a walk in closet.

Definitely on my breakfast and lunch short list, as I would like to try the chicken salad on my next visit. I forgot to try the scones, which they are apparently famous for. Give them a try, you'll be glad you did.

It was a decent sandwich, came with greens and potato salad. All the dishes were served in containers with lids. The service was friendly. Despite being almost full, they managed to attend our table frequently. The dishes took some time to come back since it was super busy. Overall it's a nice local brunch spot, very popular among the locals.

Fortunately, we were able to join the waitlist ahead of time, which helped shorten our wait. The hostess placed us in a booth meant for four, despite there only being two of us. A few minutes later, our waitress asked if we would be willing to move to a smaller two-person booth or stay where we were. We politely chose to remain at our original table since it offered more space. Apparently, that wasn't the answer she was hoping for because she never returned to take our order. Meanwhile, other guests seated after us were already being served. I eventually had to flag down the hostess to let her know that our waitress had yet to come back, despite saying she would. Although she was attentive, the overall experience left us feeling rushed, as if the intention was to get us in and out as quickly as possible to free up the booth for another party. That's not the customer's responsibility, especially when we were given the option to stay in the first place. The food was subpar, underwhelming, and overpriced. This place reminded me a lot of Turning Point, which is right across the highway. Slow service was one of the reasons we eventually stopped going there, and unfortunately, this experience brought back those same frustrations. You're better off going to a diner for better quality food and service for your money than what you would get here.

Tasty, fresh, and with a dab of whipped salted caramel to dip. Outstanding. The chicken sausage consisted of four tasty links. All the plates went back empty The service was excellent and friendly. The prices were very competitive and there is ample parking in a public lot next door. Worth the visit from down in Cranford.

Take those expectations and throw them out the window, and open your taste buds and mind to new flavors to homemade dishes that will blow you away. I heavily recommend the mozzarella sticks which are more like bricks of cheese dipped in seasoned coatings that will make other mozzarella sticks think of a new name when these melt in your mouth and pull apart perfectly. The homerun of a sandwich is the Bun Jovi which is a honey Sriracha chicken schnitzel slathered with swiss cheese, pickles, pastrami, and coleslaw. And this dream of a sandwich delivers. The blue seating booths make the diner fun , with high backs they provide comfort and some privacy to your conversations. The staff is beyond freindly and each make sure you are having the best dining experience. To many positives about Country MKT Dinner to name, but each will create a core memory.
