I've eaten at their breakfast spot "morning glory cafe" and the lunch spot "the farm kitchen", this review is for the latter. Me and the family came her for lunch, while visiting Az on vacation. I have to say, this is one of the best spots to grab a bite! All of our sandwiches were not only fresh and filling, but oh so tasty! We were drooling over each other's lunches, saying "I'm getting that next time!". I had the egg salad sandwich and tomato soup. My sandwich was sooo good but the soup was just to die for! It's was so tasty, and they put a piece of toasted baguette with melted cheese on top so good! Should have gotten a bowl instead of a cup. We plan to make this a regular spot during our annual trips to Az. read more

Beautiful location! The food was good, but nothing extraordinary. However, the location was gorgeous. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

We wanted to stop by before heading out of Phoenix for a quick lunch. The place was quite busy with overflow parking across the street. As you walk in there was someone taking drink orders and directing all other orders for food down the counter. There are packaged salads, fruit, and desserts along the counter. Unfortunately today I felt the service was very lacking. The person taking our food order was rude and seemed uninterested in taking our order. I felt very rushed and when I asked questions about the picnic tables outside there was minimal interaction. I was almost sorry I even asked a question. After paying for my food I was given a receipt and told to wait outside. The side of potato salad that I purchased was pushed over to the edge of the counter by the attendant where I caught it before it fell off. As I waited for my food, I witnessed the person in front of me had the pickup window slammed her face after they brought out her bag of lunch. When it was my turn, I was not offered any silverware or asked if I needed anything else. Window shut in face again. The sandwiches that we ordered were OK. I wanted to like them more because the presentation was appealing. We had such a good experience at Quiessence that we wanted to try this place too. Unfortunately I don't think that we will be back. read more

It is local so it must be good! Ha! Hippy marketing is so funny. If something is local, should it not be cheaper? No transport fees, cheap local imported labor, and cheap land in undesirable south Phoenix. However this are anything but cheap. Mid 70's a slight breeze and clear skies a perfect day for a pick nick. However, I am a bachelor; no way would I prepare my own. That is why we went here, that and I have not been there to review yet. We entered to a crowded patio and waited in a long line to order. The menu was sparse with just some sandwiches and salads, all of them $10 and sides were $2.50. I went with the seasonal veggie sandwich, the menu said it had cheese, however it did not. In addition there were beets, pepitas, baby spinage and dressing on multi grain bread. It was a decent sandwich, the bread had a slight stale note to it. Moreover, at $10 it was quite possible one of the worst values ever. That price included no sides, no service, beverage or even condiment station. My friends tried a salad, which was laughably small for $10. We tried a slice of pecan pie, which was mediocre. The best part of the trip was walking around and taking photos of everything. As for food next time, I will just bring my own or try the other restaurant here. read more

The Farm Kitchen is definitely a tourist trap, with overpriced food and buses abound. That being said.... Their food was good. I wouldn't have visited this restaurant except for the fact that I had a groupon, $10 for $20 worth of food and drinks. I was SHOCKED that $20 didn't cover two sandwiches (without drinks) for lunch. Their price point is very high (think around $11-13 for a sandwich, with nothing else included). I had a turkey sandwich with a whole variety of toppings (lettuce, sprouts, mustard, avo), and my hubs had the pulled pork sandwich. As others have said, I could tell that the bread was very fresh, and I'm often willing to pay a little more for that. The desserts that they had out were tempting, but again pricey ($5 - $6 for a piece of cake). We couldn't stop ourselves and tried a piece of the carrot cake, which had cream cheese frosting and was fantastic. I didn't feel like the customer service was all that stellar, but perhaps that's because it was packed when we visited (with tourists). I did enjoy the farm atmosphere, but would have appreciated some indoor seating or an attempt to keep the multitude of flies away from our food. I'd go back if I had another groupon, but I don't think I'd try it again otherwise. read more

We were all pretty disappointed by the experience we had at The Farm Kitchen. Now that it's finally nice out, we decided to stop by for an early lunch. It's really confusing when patrons walk in because drinks are to be ordered first on one side of the counter and then meals on the other side of the counter. While it wasn't busy, it didn't make much sense & was even more so confusing because the menu was hung over the drink counter area where I believe it would have mad sense to have it above the counter area where the order is placed. Other than that, this place is just completely over-priced. For a sandwich & a bottle of root beer, I paid almost $18! I got half of the Old Fashioned Turkey sandwich & half of the Pecan Chicken Salad sandwich; it wasn't even close to worth the money. The Old Fashioned Turkey sandwich lacked flavor because the turkey was essentially salt-less and the cranberry & aioli did not help make it any better. I enjoyed the Pecan Chicken Salad sandwich more, however it also needed a bit of salt to add flavor. Additionally, the sandwich order didn't come with a side of any sort! For that price, I don't think it would've been much to throw in some chips or a small salad on the side. My order took much longer than everyone else in my group & I had essentially ordered the same thing. It was kind of cute that each order was brought out in a little picnic basket so if you'd like, you can easily bring your food to one of the picnic tables under the trees. The nice part a about this location is that the farm is really pretty, and as previously mentioned, the weather is much nicer now so it makes for a good spot to just hang out for a while. I've been out to Morning Glory before and although there's normally a really long wait, I'd definitely go over there over The Farm Kitchen. read more

The food is fresh and excellent! There's a nice variety of menu options (salads, sandwiches, vegetarian and protein-based soups of the day). I had a 1/2 roasted carrot/root veggie sandwich and chicken/corn soup. The veggies were tossed in a pesto and served on fresh artisan bread. The soup was delicious and had a little kick. They bake their sweets onsite, so I had to have a chocolate chip cookie. Other folks in our group enjoyed their egg sandwich, piled high and a thick slice of pecan pie. The Farm has 3 distinct spots to eat, one for breakfast, one for lunch (maybe breakfast too, I can't remember) and one for dinner only. It's a park like property with big trees and they grow produce on premise. Seating is outside, so be prepared to dress for the weather. read more

They did a nice job of spacing the line for ordering. We ordered a Tuscan chicken sandwich and a BLT avacado chicken sandwich, both listed as breast meat. VERY dissatisfied when both sandwiches came out with all dark meat, some gristle and bone. We had to remove all the meat and eat a veggie sandwich. Not impressed. We won't return. read more

Even though it is a cute spot, the wait times are way too long. It took 45 minutes to get the soups and 3 sandwiches we ordered even though it was a simple lunch order. If you are really hungry, don't come here last minute. read more

Tall trees and greenery in Phoenix--who'da thought? So lovely to be at The Farm Kitchen among the tall pecan trees and grass, and be part of a farm atmosphere. Walked through the line up of locally sourced when possible salads and sandwiches and pies and then sat outside at the picnic tables and watched some kids play corn hole--they have various free games available so that's pretty cool. I had my first rootbeer milk from a local dairy and in a charming bottle with a cactus design and you can bring the bottle back in for a free cookie or keep it. I kept it--so perfect for cuttings. For my lunch I had 2 side salads at $3.50 each: Roasted Sweet Potato Salad and the Mediterranean Quinoa Salad. Both were seasoned perfectly and I was glad to order something unique. The bread pudding was tasty too, but not exceptional. Nice to walk off lunch to get to a sweet little shop with lots of local merchandise and to see the 2 other restaurants and pass by the gardens to see flowers and vegetables growing. Although a little pricey, if you remember it's mostly grown on-site or locally, supporting such efforts is rewarding. Since it's a pick up and get your food place you don't leave tips, but there is a tip jar by the register and it was a joy to put in something for all the questions answered and the help. For ex., the cute little milk bottle comes with different designs on it so once I said I wanted to keep it as a souvenir of this charming place, the woman who assisted me made sure I saw all the designs available and lined them up on the counter for me--another sweet memory to add to those of the day! read more

I wanted to rate higher but there are three major problems. 1) price- it was too high relative to the amount of food we received. 2) parking- we had to park across a very busy street with young kids. I don't think there was even a cross walk. 3) menu- the selection was small Positives- The setting is absolutely gorgeous and tranquil. Lots of room to walk around and stretch out. Staff was friendly read more

This place is a hidden treasure. My wife wanted come here for lunch no matter how cold it was. My wife had the Half Sandwich and Soup ( Pecan Chicken Salad Sand and vegetable soup) and coffee. The soup was delicious which warmed her up. I ad the Italian sandwich with chips and Fresh Lemonade. Both sandwiches had fresh veggies and the french bread was nice and soft, as if it was just baked. We decided to take home one of their mini pies, APPLE, $6.50 and serves two people. The pie was so good I could have licked the plate. The apples inside were cut to the right consistency. After lunch we strolled down the path to where The Stone Grove is located. Nice little exercise to walk our lunch off. The store was closed and is only opened from Wednesday to maybe Sunday. We'll be back when the weather warms up. read more

This is consistently yummy. My husband always gets the chicken pecan. I want to try it all. Today had the chicken btlmd. It was wonderful had apples, dates, tomato, lettuce on potato bread. I also had the quinoa which I really liked. We usually get the bread pudding for dessert but way too full. It is a charming place on a real farm. They have picnic tables in the big yard and darling little tables directly outside restaurant which fill up fast. read more

E I E I O I loved the Farm Kitchen (at S. Mountain.) This place is a little paradise....a piece of small town USA. The farm at South Mountain in great place to bring family, friends, out-of-towners, and it is incredible for kids. The entire facility is open and you can roam the place freely while checking out the farm and lots of chickens. We were bummed that the wait for the breakfast place was over an hour. Someone told us to check out The Farm Kitchen. We were very glad we did. This quaint little cottage offered a wide variety of sandwiches, salads, and baked goods. Most of the items included products groan on-site. We ordered a few sandwiches, the pasta salad, and the mushroom soup. We were not disappointed....everything was great. The food was high quality. The sandwiches were huge. The service....well no service to review since the place was an order and pick up at the counter style sandwich joint. The prices were a little high. I would say the average lunch will run $12-$15 per person if you get a drink and side. The price was worth it to me to get out of the house and spend a few hours in place that really takes you away from the city. read more

When you go to The Farm you are going for the atmosphere mostly. That is why when my girlfriends or my mom or other family are in town this is where I take them. It's super cute and fun. For the price I feel like I should get more. Like a side with their sandwiches would be nice. In order to get a side you have to pay for it. It's just really pricey for decent food...but not THE BEST food. I'll give them props for their red velvet cupcakes and pecan pie though. Very very very tasty!!! read more

I've been coming here for decades. Food and service is always perfect. Outdoor farm atmosphere with picnic tables and outdoor games make it a fantastic escape from the normal city eating experience. Great for a lunch with yourself and a charming place for a happy couple. And, the best place around for family and friends to gather. I'm always ordering their Fresh Turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce. I've tasted others food and have never been disappointed with anything. Save room for dessert. José is one of the friendliest staff members I have ever encountered anywhere, so I wanted to give a shout out to him. read more

Had some brunch @thefarmarizona!! We ordered a Chicken BLTDA Sandwich, a Tuscan Sandwich, a potato salad, a chocolate cake, and a butternut squash creme brûlée. Everything was so good and I honestly have nothing negative to say from my experience. My favorite was the BLTDA because it was full of flavor in the best way possible. The apples and the sauce went very well with the chicken and bacon. I'm not sure what kind of sauce they used, but it was kind of sweet. Moving on, the chocolate cake was pretty moist and literally melted in my mouth. The butternut squash creme brûlée was surprisingly really good. I probably wouldn't be able to differentiate the butternut squash and a normal creme brûlée. Not only was the food amazing, but the place itself was absolutely beautiful. So, great food AND a great view?! It can't get better than that! Go give the Farm a try read more

I've enjoyed the food here for years, but I cannot stand by with the insulting prop 206 "tax" you've decided to levy on your customers. Your prices are already way outside of market. Are you not already paying your employees over minimum wage? Instead you've decided to throw it in the face of your customers who may or may not have voted for that proposition in some sort of passive aggressive attempt at charging even more? You claim this is part of some restaurant group, but I've been asking ALL of the restaurants I frequent normally in the valley and you are the ONLY ones behaving this way. None of them have even had to raise their prices and they are far more reasonably priced. I will not be back without clear explanation on what's going on here. read more

Over priced. So you want me to pay $13 for a sandwich then tell me you support your employee but make me, your customer pay a surcharge to give your employee minimum wage. What is the word I am looking for? Oh I know starts with an F. Not going back. read more

Very cute restaurant and atmosphere for lunch. My sister and I both got the Tuscan sandwich, which was fantastic and big. We split the chocolate cake and I had a coke with my sandwich.

Where to begin? In a city with so many great food options The Farm in general is just lacking. Over priced is an understatement and as another reviewer mentioned it's a friggin joke that they have chosen to pass on an extra tax for Prop 206. They should be required to tell you that before you order. 12% overall tax later, my family will not be back. Not for order at the counter, no indoor seating, crappy attitude, and $8.50 for a cup of GREENS side salad. Nope. Not my idea of a fun day out. read more

I adore places that transport you to another locale without even driving too far! One beautiful sunny afternoon, I asked a friend to have lunch with me at The Farm Kitchen. We only drove 5 minutes away from the office and we were on a farm at a picnic table enjoying a wonderful lunch. The line had already started to form for the lunch at the Farm. We walked into a little building lined with racks of local product to peruse while you wait to get your order started. For my lunch I chose the turkey curry sandwich, a slice of pecan pie and a lemonade. Everything was really tasty. I could have used more mayo on my sandwich, but that was a personal preference. The curry on the sandwich wasn't overpowering. It was wonderfully complimented by the sweet cranberries. The pecan pie was so good! My lunch pal left her dessert alone to dig into my pie! The lemonade was, lemonade. Not to sweet, not too tart. The Farm Kitchen is a great place to step away from it all if only for a lunch hour. The food is good and well made, and the setting just can't be beat! read more

09/30/12 Brought my three aunts, Mom, and myself to The Farm at South Mountain on this rare occasion we were all together, and since the aunts had never been before. After first dropping off two aunts and Mom at Morning Glory Cafe so that they may place breakfast orders in, an aunt and I walked over to The Farm Kitchen to line up and order a couple of sandwiches and use a groupon I had found a week or so before ($10 for $20 worth of food). Since our venture out to the farm was on a whim, we were not prepared to endure eating outside when it was 100 degrees, and thankfully, there weren't many people out here thinking it was a great idea, either. Usually, there's a long line, sometimes double lines, of people waiting to order fresh-made sandwiches and salads, but not today, which was a good thing for the two of us. Since I'd pulled up the menu online on my phone and asked my aunts what looked good to them on our drive to the farm, we already knew what to order when our wait was over in line, when the two women before us waved us along since they didn't know what they wanted. Grabbing the last slice of Cherry-White Chocolate Bread Pudding http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/jb7pFtM4J5Hu9tCaoGxnRQ?select=47BeU9YNiWBOmxj9yOXCCQ#47BeU9YNiWBOmxj9yOXCCQ on a table of sweets I spied just seconds before, while my aunt took a Roasted Squash Creme Brulee, we thanked the women and proceeded to order the Old Fashioned Turkey Sandwich http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/jb7pFtM4J5Hu9tCaoGxnRQ?select=3gTmvP1BjPjiJUHExlk0xA#3gTmvP1BjPjiJUHExlk0xA and the Pecan Chicken Salad Sandwich. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/jb7pFtM4J5Hu9tCaoGxnRQ?select=pRMWUUIbNUNcp6re4qBK0w#pRMWUUIbNUNcp6re4qBK0w The groupon redemption was a breeze, and we were given a receipt with a number and were told to wait outside for the call. The wait wasn't long at all, and after a brief stop at the non-lighted outdoor restroom facility, I joined my aunt to pick up our basket of sandwiches, and we proceeded to walk back to the Morning Glory Cafe to meet the others. Since I had a terrific breakfast a few hours ago in Phoenix, I hadn't planned to try much at The Farm today, but I did get to taste a few bites here and there. The bread pudding was very, very good! Chunks of chewy, yet moist cherries, rivers of sweet white chocolate and butterscotch running throughout and on the top, this was a beauty of a dessert to behold AND to consume! Loved how the top of the pudding had spots of caramelization, and if you look closely, there's a wide river of butterscotch silk beckoning you to drink. The bread pudding was so enticing that a young woman and her beau (or was it her brother?) immediately left their family table at MG to try their luck at TFK for more of the bread pudding (after a long absence, around 15 minutes or more, they came back with a slice!). The sandwiches were also hits! Due to food allergies, I couldn't try the chicken salad sandwich, but suffice it to say, the aunt who'd requested it ate almost the entire thing (only half of the sandwich is pictured; the other half was in her hands!). Mom and an aunt, or two, were lucky recipients of a bite, and they all said it was delicious. Much more so than that of the turkey sandwich, of which I was able to try, and it was very good! The turkey tasted fresh, the chipotle mayo was just the right amount, the whole-grain bread was nutty, yet tender (everyone raved about this bread), and the cranberry relish was chunky and flavorful. If I wasn't full from breakfast, I'd have asked for half of this. Again, the sandwich was also completely polished off. The only thing we didn't like was the Roasted Squash Creme Brulee, but I don't think we gave it a fair try. I was already done for the rest of the afternoon (I didn't event think about anything to eat until around 530p-6p), but I did try a teaspoonful... I could definitely taste the roasted squash, and it was more savory than sweet. After indulging on the bread pudding, this tiny taste wasn't worth the extra caloric splurge. At around $5 or $6 a serving, I probably wouldn't try it if I came across it again. I'll be back, but not until the weather cools! read more

I just can't believe so many people don't know about this place, truly a hidden gem right here in Phoenix. The food is so good and so fresh, it really makes you feel good about yourself.

My #1 gripe with this place is the prices they charge. $10 for your run of the mill sandwich - no side dishes or drinks or anything. How many meal deals could I get at Subway for 10 bucks?! Because they don't taste much better... Their menu listed "gourmet hot chocolate" and since this place looked like a cute little cafe, I was expecting something at least on-par with Starbucks mediocre version. Not even close. It was a powdered mix and hot water!! Bleh. Thankfully for me, the girl didn't make it correctly (uhhh?) the first time around, but I told her not to worry about it once I knew it was just Nesquick and water. The coffee was also boring. They forgot the avocado on both of our sandwiches. 2 boring sandwiches and 2 boring coffees cost us $27. Walking around their property is lovely and we snuck some bites of fresh pecans off their trees! But, I was extra disappointed when I strolled by Morning Glory Cafe and saw that their prices were cheaper than my sandwich! I would have much rather eaten there and I think I will in the future because the area is so beautiful. I would love to visit The Farm again, but will never eat at The Kitchen again. read more

What a drive, but what a nice was to spend an early afternoon! I had a Groupon to use, so a friend and I hiked South Mountain and then went over to The Farm for lunch. We stood in line raving over all the delicious food items displayed around us... bottles of balsamic vinegars and spreads, salads with an array of brightly colored vegetables, personal homemade fruit pies... I could go on for a while. I decided on the turkey curry sandwich and a glass of lemonade. The sandwich was a-mazing! The lemonade was fresh squeezed and tart and yummy. Bonus: they offer free tea and lemonade refills until 3pm. We sat outside at a little table covered with a checkered table cloth and a potted flower centerpiece. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed people watching (lots of babies and dogs at The Farm). After a leisurely lunch, we strolled around the grounds (plentiful picnic tables and grassy areas for kids to run around) and over to Maya's Farm area (where most of the ingredients are grown).... so awesome to see where my food came from! The Farm is a really enjoyable experience and a great place for locavores to visit. I recommend it! read more

Ate here for lunch on the Friday after Thanksgiving. I am Gluten Free, and my mother is Vegetarian. I ordered the chicken salad on a bed of lettuce, and my mom ordered the egg salad sandwich. We also both ordered iced tea. The food and ice tea were really good. Although I should have ordered an extra side since the chicken salad alone was not enough to fill me up. My mom said the egg salad was really good (but messy obviously). The service was very friendly and outgoing. You pick up your food from a window right by the orange umbrellas. Unfortunately not everyone listens to the cashier when we tells you. So they were yelling the same number multiple times. The ambience is very relaxing and all outdoors. Although it's off a busy road it is very quiet. I would 100% come back! read more

I know that people have already reviewed The Farm Kitchen in the separate listing for the Farm at South Mountain, but since 2 of the 3 eateries at the Farm (Morning Glory Cafe and Quiessence) have separate listings, I wanted to break out The Farm Kitchen and give it its own listing as well. Morning Glory Cafe offers a delicious breakfast and brunch, Quiessence is a formal restaurant serving local and seasonal dishes, and The Farm Kitchen is a casual lunch spot with sandwiches, soups, salads, and baked goods. We went for lunch with high hopes since our experience at Morning Glory Cafe was so good, but we were a little disappointed with the food we tried, especially given the high prices. We ordered the Grilled Flank Steak Sandwich ($9.95), the Chicken BLT Sandwich ($9.95), a side of potato salad ($2.50), a side of sweet potato salad ($2.50), and a piece of pecan pie ($4). The Steak Sandwich was the best of the four things - the steak was well-seasoned and tender, the bread was freshly baked, and the Gorgonzola spread really complemented the meat. However, the chicken on the BLT sandwich was flavorless and a bit dry and the mayo was really standard. The sweet potato salad was also really oily and the sweet potatos themselves were undercooked and even a bit chewy. The potato salad was fine, but a really small portion for the price. The pecan pie was definitely good, but not better than anything you could get at Marie Calendar's or a similar bakery chain. The atmosphere is definitely unique (where else can you get your lunch in picnic baskets and sit outside?), but to really experience the deliciousness of locally grown ingredients and feel that the food is worth the high price tag, you'd probably want to go to Morning Glory Cafe or Quiessence (which we hear wonderful things about and are excited to try!). read more

I have to give the Farm a hand for being a nice change of pace from your typical Sunday afternoon....although I wouldn't go so far as to gush over its picturesque beauty. I would imagine the entire place is absolutely gorgeous when the trees have leaves but in the winter it was a little stark.....Situated in a pecan grove the in January the grounds are more Edward sissorhands Vincent price than they are cutesy farm land. My main complaints about the farm include: A) Price. $30 for 2 sandwiches, 2 ice teas, and a apricot bar. No Chips, salads, soups, nothing. That's a little steep even if the food is organic....and I have no idea if it is, although there is organic produce growing on the grounds I saw no indication that the food actually was, which leads me to #2. B) Signage. One of the main reasons I wanted to visit the farm was because the website advertised it as being 'pet friendly'. However if you hadn't see the website you would have no idea. There a no doggy waste stations and no leash information. When we entered the 'kitchen' to order our food we picked up our tiny chihauhua's and entered before an employee rudely stepped in front of us and loudly spoke out "Um, Miss, you cant bring your dogs in the kitchen!". Embarrassing, especially considering we had LOOKED for a sign on the door to see if we could bring them in. (I know you might be thinking its common sense, dogs + food, but you would be surprised how many places allow you to bring animals in, and since neither of us had even been to the farm we both wanted to see the food inside) Finally, a combination of A + Although there are multiple signs indicating what food is AVAILABLE, there are no prices listed. So while I was aware my sandwich was going to be pricey from reviewing the website, I had no idea I was shelling out $4.65 for an apricot bar. Overall we will probably return to try the breakfast restaurant on the farm but probably would not return to the Kitchen. My grilled veggie sandwich was tasty however I must admit I was expecting a hot sandwich....everything had been prepared ahead of time and refrigerated, ie cold sandwich. There were a lot of families with small children who were well prepared to enjoy the park like atmosphere with nerf balls etc (I have NOOOO idea how they can afford to feed 6 people there!) And a few couples kanoodling around which made a nice mixed group of people. 1 last parting comment...this review would have been 1 star higher if they had a liquor license. The entire day could have been mighty improved with a glass of Pinot and I was a little surprised there was none at hand! read more

Ahh yes, The Farm Kitchen at The Farm At South Mountain. I had it bookmarked to try for over a year. Finally got around to doing just that on Sat, May 3rd, 2014. I guess it was a bad omen when the BBQ place I wanted to take friends was already sold out and had been before noon that day. While they may serve good ingredients they sure do charge a premium for them. I spent just short of $22 (yep, half sandwich, cup of soup, drink and a small dessert, $22) for lunch and that was no tip included. Why no tip you ask? Well other then having to make the sandwich I ordered and pour the soup into the cup you have to do everything yourself including clean up after yourself. TIPS really means: To Insure Prompt Service. There is no service here. Plus they gave me the wrong sandwich. So they got 50% of my order wrong. $22 for a self service lunch with baskets and plasticware. The sandwich was good and the soup just ok. This should have been at the very most, $10 to $12. I guess you have to pay for the ambiance of dining outside. Hey, it didn't cost them a dime to erect a building, insure it, air condition it, etc. All of the other expenses which might drive the cost up to $22. And honestly while it was nice to dine on a rickety old splinter infested wobbly picnic table under a tree, it wasn't like it was a nicely manicured golf course like lawn. I'm not sure why all you people are so WOW about this place. I'm never going back. read more

A little slice of the farm in the city. Came here with a Groupon and some high expectations. Food: All pretty darn delicious. I got the Italian sandwich, wife had the farm garden sandwich and the kiddos split a pb&j. All of the sandwiches were fabulous. They were all large and almost worth the $10 per sandwich (except the kids which was ~$2.50). We got a fruit salad for the kids to share and a pasta salad for the wife. We got two bags of chips, a cookie for the kids to split and a lemon bar for mom and dad. We got two drinks (which have free refills, and there are cups for ice water too). After the $20 Groupon we had we still spent an additional $27. Not cheap, but it was all great. Atmosphere: You will sit outside, it is hot if you go any time between April and October (welcome to Phoenix). There are however plenty of trees and some umbrellas to provide shade. There is lots of seating in front of the restaurant as well as towards the back of the farm at picnic tables under trees. The kids liked having freedom to run in the grass. Value: Without a groupon it is kind of hard to spend almost $50 on lunch for 2 adults and 2 kids who split a meal. The food however is delicious, fresh and the sandwiches are large portions. The sides and desserts are probably a little small for the price. The drinks are priced ok and you get refills, you just have to stand in line. Will we be back, probably. Will it be in the summer, don't count on it. read more

Ha! So, we ran into the local fry's for something - probably wine - and when we got to the checkout counter, we asked if there was a great place for sandwiches around and the lady was like scratching her head and like "no". Hmmm... She seemed to remember someone mentioning a place... I'm pretty sure we took a wrong turn and literally stumbled upon this sweet little sandwich spot with food that is just... oh me! oh my! so good. I ordered the most delictable chicken salad sandwich! Afterwards, I couldn't help but wonder, why the hell doesn't that local lady know about this place?!?! Seriously. So good. On a sunny day, the huge picnic table littered lawn here hosts droves of peeps just waiting to dig into deliciousness to the tune of deli. This place easily makes the top ten restaurants to visit while we're in Tempe. Eat here with your honey if you're looking for good grub in the area. It's cafeteria style farm fresh food and fun! read more
