This is not going to be an easy review to write. I have so many conflicting thoughts and…read morefeelings... reviewing a restaurant should never be this dramatic! Seriously though... speaking as someone who was a partner in two restaurants in NYC for 4 years, who does not claim to "know it all" but knows some tricks of the trade... I think they've got great potential and would like to share my thoughts with them. Saying they've "got potential" probably come across as smug, obnoxious, and ridiculous, especially because they've got like 4.6 stars here on Yelp! And that's mainly why I found myself here... Staying in Mansfield for the night, I looked up restaurants that were enroute to our hotel. Some of them had 3 or 3.5 stars and I said "no way." But 4.6 stars with as many reviews as The Farmer's Table has? Absolutely! The atmosphere is a little bit diner but cozy enough and has the farm as a theme. There are some cool design elements, like the steel ceiling, the tables... The bathroom was clean and well stocked, and that's a really good sign that the place is sanitary and organized. The waitress was really, really nice... and we loved that we were in this tiny little town and yet she had this really cool, funky image. Great fingernails! I'm jealous! A tip for her to make service even better... think about sequence of service. Think about the extras that the customer will want with the specific thing they ordered so that they won't have to bother you. If they order something with fries, definitely put ketchup on their table, and do it before the food is delivered. There were also a lot of empty tables with salt shakers, but it's had none. Some customers notice these little things and appreciate a server who anticipates their needs. On the other hand, maybe she was just really slammed busy before we got there. My wife and I waited like 2 minutes for her to take my order and she apologized profusely for having us wait so long for her. I was like, "am I in Manhattan or wut???" She was on point, generally easy to find when we needed her, she was never trying to hide from customers (a huge no-no) and very well-intentioned. Definitely a keeper. The food though... I was surprised we didn't like it very much being the reviews were so good. When I got the check to pay, I asked the server what their most beloved and popular dishes are. She said that ppl order a lot of the prime rib sandwich, and also the cat fish. Incidentally, I had ordered the prime rib sandwich, and my wife had the breaded cat fish. I was expecting a lot more meat on my sandwich, and the bun was just a regular burger bun, but it was ok. It came with 3 slices of pickle and cost $11.90. I was still hungry after that so I finished my wife's catfish 'cuz she gets full easily. I liked the catfish more, but neither of us thought it was anything special. What was special were the prices. The catfish included 2 sides, and it cost less than $14. Being from NYC, it was so refreshing to see pricing that reminded me of year 2000! A burger for $7.85 that's not Burger King? Incredible! But the cole slaw... ewww. I didn't hate it, but I kind of forced myself to eat it even though it had a strange flavor. The sweet potato fries were ok. Everything was basically O.K. I imagine that, if I lived there, I would go pretty regularly cuz it's probably the best thing the neighborhood has in a few square miles, and it's easier and more fun than cooking at home (if you're not a cook and you're busy at work). But I think that some improvement in the food could make the place more of a destination. And a destination could actually bring more business to the surrounding businesses! I can understand if the townspeople want very basic food there, but at least offer a few specials that are fancier, better ingredients, something that stands out and is memorable. I know I'm spoiled coming from NYC... a 4.6 star review in places like Manhattan are different than a 4.6 star review in a small town. But this place has some nice things about it. Take it all the way!

Our guests had previously declared Flour & Stone one of their favorite restaurants. We were greeted cordially and seated at a small table near a hallway. During the course of the evening, we did feel an occasional draft of cool air-perhaps from the opening of an exterior door. The ambiance of the restaurant's interior is intimate, due partly to the low ceilings in our dining space. Our server brought menus and returned before long to take our drink orders. We ordered a limonata, a glass of Cantina castiadas vermentino, a Negroni, and the Fall Monty. Everyone enjoyed their libations; we shared one appetizer, the meatballs with ricotta. The sauce and meatballs were under seasoned, a bit on the bland side, and I would have preferred of touch of heat. For the entrées, we chose pork belly, lamb pappardelle, short rib gnocchi, and autumn ravioli. All the dishes were pleasing to the eye. My wife was very pleased with her ravioli; she raved about the sauce. Unfortunately, she didn't save me a drop of sauce. My pork belly consisted of a large square of pork, tender and well cooked, but on the boring side of flavor. Part of my problem was the expectation for porchetta on the menu--a dish they only prepare occasionally. The portions at Flour & Stone are perfect--no leftovers across the board. The ambience is relaxing and the staff are friendly. We're grateful to F & S for offering some rustic Italian pasta dishes, as well eclectic offerings such as rabbit, paella, Moroccan steak, and vegetarian choices. While I highly recommend Flour & Stone, I longed for more flavor and spice!

My father lives in the area and frequents this restaurant. I've only been one time for breakfast…read moreso this review is certainly not the complete picture. The day we came in the owner's daughter was graduating so she was not there cooking so things were a bit slower (there was a sign hanging up saying as much). I ordered 2 eggs scrambled, well done, with homefries and dry wheat toast. I got buttered toast but they corrected it quickly. They have a few options for breakfast potatoes. The hashbrowns are like a big triangular tatertot, the homefries are much better in my option but they are diced rather than sliced so occationally you can get a slightly undercooked potatoe piece. Since starting this review I came back 2 other times for breakfast. Both times the food was great, the service was quick and everyone was friendly. It's really nice to have a local spot that knows how to work a griddle. I have not been here for dinner yet (I plan to), everyone says that the menu is great and don't miss out on the specials!

Ordered a single cheesesteak which is served on a 12" soft squishy white bread hoagie roll. Rolls made by Angelo Pacifico & Sons in Altoona, PA. Didn't think I could finish it all, so I mentioned I'd take half of it to go and eat half to stay at the tables inside the shop. They kindly pre-wrapped my to-go half in an aluminum and paper sandwich wrap with tape to hold it, and plated the half to stay on a small paper plate with plastic fork. Very kind to do that even when I said I'd be happy to do it myself with a to go wrapper. I ordered the cheesesteak with peppers and onions and a dash of vinegar and oil. The beef cheesesteak was similar to a flank steak cut chopped into easy to bite shreds. My cousin ordered a chicken cheesesteak with grilled onions, peppers, mushrooms, shredded lettuce, thin sliced tomato, and mayo. The chicken seemed to be mostly white meat chopped into easy to bite shreds as well. Good selection of local sweet flavored teas and chocolate milk from Ritchey's Dairy in Martinsburg, PA, and Coca Cola soda products in the coolers to choose from. Locally made chips from Middleswarth in Lewistown, PA. Total for 2 Single 12" Hoagies & an Iced Tea just under $18. Payment accepted in Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Apple Pay, and Cash. Bathroom available just off the cafe.
