We started off with the pimento cheese plate which was just right for an app: not too filling, yet was enjoyable. I went with the lunch combo option and selected lobster bisque soup and Asian salad. The soup was phenomenal, but I wish the Asian dressing for the salad wasn't so runny and had more flavor. My husband really enjoyed his Italian pizza, but the bottom of the crust on one half was quite burnt so he scraped off what he could.

Good variety menu. But know, this place isn't for the budget conscious. Server was prompt and efficient. Mae got a grilled chicken salad and an adult grilled cheese and I got the regular burger all-the-way. Food came out quickly but not too quickly. Mae enjoyed her salad and ate 1/2 the grilled cheese. She got full. The grilled cheese was big and oozing with cheesy goodness. My burger was very good. 9/10. Came with lettuce, onion, bacon, tomato and Mayo. The fries were hot and crispy. Good food forks, plain and simple. But lunch for both of us was $35 not including tip. I don't mind paying for good food just know the prices are a bit high before you go there.

Dori and I were looking for lunch one day while visiting Boone, and ended up in FARM, mainly due to visiting Boone Belles right next door. What was an accidental encounter turned in a fantastically spiritual experience. Like all my write ups, I am giving my opinion based on the type of restaurant, service level expectation and the price. The business model is to feed everyone who walks in whether you can pay for it or not. You can eat for free, pay $10 (or as much as you like), buy food tokens to leave in the token jar (passing on a meal) or work off your food in the kitchen or helping out... again as much or little as you want. The atmosphere is what your would expect in a cafeteria with folks servicing you off the line. The food is fresh farm to table and you only pay $10 for your meal, of which they have few options and basically tell what you can order. ... the food for the price was exceptional. There were folks from all walks of life from well off families to homeless folks off the street. The tables are tight and few in number, but not so much to be instructive. They are close enough to do one of my favorite things, meeting people and hearing their stories. So eat, meet and move on to make room for others. You really can miss it if you do not know it's there...look for it tucked away between Boone Belles and the Horton Hotel. In summary, if you are looking for a different dinner adventure, a good meal for services and price, and want to do some good in the world please check out the FARM Restaurant.

We headed over for a cozy dinner but were disappointed by the lack of indoor seating. The cashier had a bit of a strange confused yet also slightly irritated attitude. But she got our orders right so I cant complain much. We ordered two beef pho and shumai. The menu is a bit more "fusion-ey" than just thai and vietnamese. The interior was a very messy, the stores old furniture and boxes scattered about. Finally the food. It was lukewarm by the time we finally got to eat. Very delicious broth, meat was mostly yummy, LOT of fat pieces though. The noodles were... not enjoyable. And there were no bean sprouts! But for pho it makes the minimum mark. The shumai was also pretty good but cold. I like how the food was packaged separately, and the prices were reasonable, the pho bowl was $11. Overall 3 stars

The hostess took our drink and food order, and took care of us because the bartender was *that* inattentive. I ordered a double Maker's Mark neat, and my wife ordered a Manhattan. My drink came neat, but it was a Manhattan. My wife'sa Manhattan came on ice, as ordered. The pours were really, really tiny. We both ordered bowls, which were decent. Nothing to write home about. Bottom line - food okay; service terrible, but saved by Sadie, the hostess. She got a nice tip. The bartender got nothing, which I hadn't done for decades.

Hands down the best mocktail I've ever had was a blackberry mule - it was a bit spicy but not overpowering. Delicious.

The Habana plate was a great savory addition to the table. Definitely a standout spot downtown!

I was staying at a hotel just down the street and our experience was so good, My son and I had breakfast two days in a row here. Not only was Sierra and the team of people working the breakfast counter sweeter than the homemade jam, they were also engaging friendly and so kind to my son and me. Let's talk about the food. The homemade bread, perfectly cooked eggs, homemade local sausage, fresh local breads from the bakery around the corner, which I believe was Stick Figure or something like that, and probably the best pancake I've had in years. If you love breakfast- and I do not... you are not to miss this place. I must say that this May has turned me into a breakfast lover. Just a note, you'll probably wait an hour for a table... But the breakfast counter and community table are towards the back Thank you all! Hope to see you soon

I was not disappointed in the food. All selections were ideally prepared, seasonally balanced, and well paired. What I was really pleased about was the service. The staff elevate the entire experience. To name one or two would leave out what was an incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and cohesive Team. I would certainly recommend The Gamekeeper to anyone looking for the complete dining experience.
