The Farm is a banquet hall that moonlights as a buffet on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Ironically, despite these limited hours, it is easily the best limitless dining experience in the greater Cincinnati area. This is primarily because 98% of the buffets in town are Asian oriented (no pun intended) and do very little to set themselves apart from one another. The other 1.9% are Golden Corrals. While I appreciate the vast selection available at the home of the Chocolate Wonderfall, they truly don't hold a candle to the Farm, in terms of presentation and/or quality. Two patron lines run along either side of a L-shaped serving table. Do not allow this slight inconvenience to discourage subsequent trips to the buffet, as both move briskly. Along your way, you'll discover many appetizing options to pile upon your plate. Think Thanksgiving Day without the sweatpants. Though, I'm sure you could wear sweats, if you were so inclined. The atmosphere is dimly lit and casual. The clientele isn't particularly young or hip, but if you're just there to stuff your face, who the hell cares? The majority of the selection remains the same, regardless of what night you decide to go. The crux of your decision lies within the main courses: Tuesdays = baked ham, roast beef or fried chicken, Thursdays = pasta or barbecue spare ribs. I recommend the former, simply because I found the ribs to be a little dry the one time I opted for the latter. However, not unlike the lacking sauce, I am bold. So, I'm sure I'll test the Thursday night waters again, at some point. Beverages are served at the bar to the rear of the hall. Depending on the size of the crowd, additional seating areas will become available. They do accept table reservations for larger parties. A most excellent dessert bar, with cheesecake, carrot cake, cobbler, bread pudding ... holy heck, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. One more reason to hate Mondays! read more

Tuesday buffet! If you're a west sider, I'm sure you've been to the Farm for a wedding reception, retirement party or dance. But have you been to the Tuesday or Thursday night buffet? My favorite is Tuesday. For a reasonable price $13.95 for adults, (kids and senior pricing available) you can enjoy the old fashioned home style cooking of the Elsaesser family. Standing roast beef, baked whole ham and famous fried chicken are the staples there. Be sure to try the cheesy green beans too. After dinner, a wide range of deserts will certainly please. The food is delicious, quantity plentiful, great for kids and adults and the prices are very reasonable. Give it a shot! See their history at http://www.theplacetohaveaparty.com/ read more

This is a dinning/banquet hall and semi-restaurant. The rooms can be rented out for special occasions. They have open buffets on Tuesdays and Thursdays, reservations are recommender for 8 people or more. Some rooms do have bars and dance floors, I believe they can also be sectioned off. The atmosphere is somewhat German with dark wood usage and style, looks kinda blan and dated. Not the best dinning hall to rent out, but certainly not the worst either. The food is decent "home style" cooking, meats, potatoes, vegetables, with some other things thrown in. The meals lack "style", it's mostly stuff that a mom would make for Thanksgiving. You'll definitely get yourself full at the buffets though. The service is usually pretty good as well. Three stars because it's not the worst meal you could eat, but it's nothing fancy either. If you go for a buffet expect to see lots of old people (and families), this is indeed in Delhi. read more

This review is for a private event held here. The Farm was very reasonable and worked with our budget. This is not the glitziest place to hold an event in Cincinnati and it can be a bit difficult to get to. I was very impressed with what they offered for our budget. The staff are excellent! The Farm is located on Anderson Ferry in Delhi. It's a little hard to find but they do have ample parking. The building itself is very well maintained. Meeting rooms are well decorated and very open, bathrooms are tidy and plentiful. Staff are friendly and easily accessible. When given requests they are very responsive and genuinely seem to care. The buffet we had was pretty good. Fried chicken and ham were decent. Sides like mashed potatoes and green beans were excellent. Desserts were store bought but still pretty good. The bar is a full bar. For the price, this is an excellent place for an event. read more

First what was good. We went during Lent and the buffet had fried chicken, fried and baked fish and fried shrimp as well as waffle fries and all of those were quite good and were kept hot. Also soft drinks are free with the buffet. Oon the downside though the salad was basically iceberg lettuce and all the vegetables seem to be industrial canned green beans and corn floating in butter sauce. The desserts were pretty good. The place itself is very shabby --one front door is not working right, the lighting is rather dim, and it looks like nothing has been done with the decor and at least 1/4 century.As some others have noted, they play music the whole time and they mix in Christian music. The proprietor is very upfront about hosting events for very conservative Christian groups such as those who go to the Ark Encounter so I would say if you're not Christian you might not want to bring your group here because you will be hearing Christian music and possibly him quoting some Bible verses. You can get carryout, and if you want fried chicken, roast beef and other standard meat offerings that might be a better way to go these days. read more

Ill admit I dont want to tell you about this place up front. I dont want to give this review , because I dont want to give this secret away to the masses . But I enjoyed this buffet so much , I could'nt keep my mouth shut. (It's been a best kept secret!!!) Banquet style buffet , in a formal venue of a private wedding reception hall and gathering area. Hands down some of the best fried chicken you will ever eat , hot , crunchy , fresh , juicy chicken , mmm good !!! The tuesday dinner I enjoyed had roast beef , country ham , mashed potatoes , various vegetables salad , and a dessert table. Pleasant atmosphere , friendly staff ! 16.99 for an adult and well worth the price. I left the buffet full, fat, and happy! Very satisfying! By all means check them out ... Just save a table for me! read more

My granddaughter lost her wedding venue six weeks before the wedding! The Farm came to her rescue. The owner could not have been more helpful in arranging the plans. The food was amazing and the pricing was reasonable. Plenty of parking for guests. Friendly and wonderful staff. It is open to the public when no events are taking place. Go and enjoy a wonderful meal soon. read more

The food is always good but me and some friends went there last night to eat and we just felt rush the busser kept asking us if he could take our sliverware when he seen we were still eating i understand it was almost colseing time but let us enjoy our meal read more

This nostalgic place has good home cooked food. The staff can not do enough! We were celebrating my parents 50th and they made the night really special! read more

It's been about 4 hours since I left The Farm and my stomach is still happy and full. Dinner for 2 for about $30 and no tipping. I am glad that we checked it out. I agree with another review here that the sauer kraut and sausage weren't so good. All other selections were good.Beef stew, Fried chicken, Ham, Roast beef. On Thursday's it's Pasta and ribs. It's a friendly place. Family friendly. Friend friendly. It was peaceful and it felt like mom was in the kitchen cooking.Alcohol is available. No slot machines and lights to distract you. It's clean. It's efficient. We will return. Tuesdays. Thursdays, and Saturdays. read more

The Farm is still open!!! They are not closed, please support The Farm and their Family. Go enjoy magnificent Food!!!

Great value, great food choices, friendly staff, clean, well run, quaint setting, family owned and operated - what's not to like here? If you haven't been, it's worth a trip, even if you are an east sider like me. Come hungry, you will want to try everything; and believe me, there are a lot of food choices. read more

If you like buffet style dining The Farm would have to rate right up there with one of the best certainly the best in the Cincinnati area. The Farm beats all of the casino buffets in Ohio and Indiana and is less expensive than the casino buffets too. No one could possible leave this place hungry and everything I have ever eaten at the farm has been tasty. If you have never tried it I would recommend a family outing on some Tuesday or Thursday evening. It is a really good place for a family birthday or special occasion celebration where everyone will find something they will like and the price is reasonable for the quality of the food. read more

Tuesday buffet review here. While the staff was extremely nice, the food was extremely dull and limited. With $15 for adults (seniors $14) and the amount of people there for the buffet, one would think they'd have more selection. I will concede that all the food was fresh and hot. However, I don't think I'd recommend it nor take a guest to The Farm. There are better buffets in Cincinnati. read more

A good, old fashioned banquet. We enjoyed. The roast beef was especially to my taste. Really good mashed potatoes and several other home-style sides. Several deserts to round out the meal. read more

Choosing to have our wedding ceremony and reception at The Farm was the best choice that we made. I looked around the Cincinnati area and The Farm was the best value I could find so when we wanted to get more info about it they invited us out to their Tuesday or Thursday dinner buffet complimentary. Dan sat down with us and went over all of the info and showed us around and was so informative and helpful. We chose our date and booked almost immediately. We knew we were not going to find a nicer facility with any nicer people at such a great value!! Throughout the planning process they were so helpful in answering my questions, allowing us to come over and measure things for decorations on multiple occasions, and they had us out for another complimentary dinner to go over some last minute details. They allowed us to rent out part of their second party room since we were expecting 250 guests and offered to open up the second buffet line too for a very reasonable price. They also tried to keep our main room open the night before the wedding so that we could come in and decorate, which enabled us to come in at noon on Friday and decorate all afternoon to get it looking just how I had dreamed. They had an event that night in the other room so they set up the remainder of our centerpieces in the other room and fixed some things that had fallen for us on the day of the wedding which was so helpful. Dan and Donna specifically went out of their way to help make our day perfect and it definitely was. Everything ran so smoothly and we had no issues whatsoever. They turned the coat room into a getting ready area for my bridal party and I and they even had a backdrop in there which allowed us to take some nice pics with family and friends prior to the wedding starting. For the wedding ceremony they had a beautiful archway that we got to use free of charge and a curtain backdrop to cover up the DJ that made for some great pics. The food was so delicious!! We have had people raving about how great the food was, how beautiful the place was and how nice the people were. Our package price included all of the people working including the bar tenders, greeters, food servers, etc., the food, draft beer, 2 bottles of champagne for the bridal party toast and the room. We did an open bar and they just kept a tab that we paid for at the end of the night. If you are looking for a great place to have your wedding reception or any kind of big event that has great food and friendly people for a good price then look no further!!! They did an amazing job with our wedding and I'm sure they would do the same for you!!! read more

We were part of many bus tour groups that ate dinner at this facility. They were very professional and were able to get large quantities of people fed in record time. The best part was that the food was delicious. Really enjoyed our visit. read more

Our church just ate at the Farm. We all loved it! The food and the service were outstanding. We could have eaten there two nights in a row if we could! Good food and it was fresh and hot! We encourage anyone to either hold an event or eat there if at all possible. The Millers from Arkansas read more

Our family really liked the Farm. It's a little pricey but it's worth it. The set up is kinda strange but the food makes up for it. If you like home cooked meals, I recommend this restaurant. read more

I've been to countless special occasions at this place, it has a lot of good memories. The food is good, but I do have to agree it's really "dark" and "drab" inside. It could use a bit of remodeling. The family that owns the place is good to the community and just all around good people, so bypass Golden Corral and head on over to The Farm, pay three extra bucks and eat there. :D read more

They do these really horrible telemarketing calls about their weekly specials. It. Is. Awful. I have no idea how I got on their call list but I never have been and never will go to the farm. Honestly, such an invasive advertising practice! Tacky. read more

I like the farm! its not meant to be fancy smancy. You want that type of food for much higher price go downtown. This used to be a dairy farm and the building still retains some of the original barn structure I believe. It is a nice staple for the west side and the food was intended to be good home type cooking. The chicken is very good, as are the mashed potatoes I have no problem recommending this to people, good for a family, and retired people . We have never had anything bad here. read more

5-3-2015. My father passed and had donated his body to science, which there was no reason for a funeral home to be involved. We wanted to have a private service, then a Celebration of his wonderful life. Called several places and The Farm was so willing to accommodate our plans for our private service and then the Celebration of his life. Hard to truly guess how many may attend but it didn't matter. You give them an estimate and they will monitor as it proceeds as to whether more food needs to be added to the buffet line as guests arrived. They have a minimum, but was easily reached and we were charged per person which was reasonable. They have a bar which serves your soft drinks but you can have an open bar and pay by the drink. Dan was very helpful and very easy to work with. The buffet was supposed to be open for an hour and a half, but as more people arrived a little later he kept the buffet open for an extra hour just so they could eat . After it appeared everyone had gone through the buffet he announced it will be open 10 more minutes if you would like to get more. The food was delicious (especially fried chicken) and there were a lot of options to fill your plate. As the afternoon came to a close he didn't push to get us out of there. The staff was very kind and helped out with whatever we needed. Talked to Dan 2 days before the event as he wanted to make sure we had what we needed and we did have a few unusual requests. The Farm was the perfect choice for our celebration. The choices were easy and allowed us to grieve our loss, instead of having to do all the planning. Thank you to Dan and his staff. read more
