FARMbloomington: Reviews & Ratings
The food was spectacular! The Brussel sprouts were the best I have ever had! Tuna entry was perfectly cooked and amazing! we sat outside. Service was great! Of course the garlic friends are amazing!! Pizza as well. Garrett our server was very attentive and was great!
Always wanted to come here for the Garlic Fries (11) and I was not disappointed! We shared it among three, but honestly, enough Appetizer for 6! The drinks were great! I had a Cocktail (16) which was memorable and Friday Salmon (31) as the main, which was exceptional. We were St the bar as we didn't make a early reservation (It books out a lot) and the staff there was the best. Really enjoyed a lot and can't wait to come back for more!
Enjoyed a lunch of braised beef tacos and a few glasses of wine. The bar selection here is extensive! Food was delicious and the size of the meal was more than I could handle. North outdoor and indoor dining with fun interior considering of lots of old knick knacks. Staff was fabulous for a first time visitor to the restaurant.
Like if Cracker Barrel had a kid, and they were a lot more liberal and wanted to rebel and leave the countryside behind for the big city, but then learned the real meaning of family and life and love or whatever, and came back to run the family farm but put their own hipster twist to it. Something like that. Roll credits. I mean that in a good way, had a great time here, I'll inevitably return.
I went here for the first time for dinner just before Thanksgiving, so I think we were able to avoid any huge crowds. We shared an appetizer of the fries, both had drinks and I opted for soup for dinner. It was a great meal with a nice atmosphere. I’m excited to go back again and try what’s on the menu in the Winter.
Great overall experience. Wide variety of menu items, all very unique to this restaurant. The Garlic Farm Fries are a MUST.
Enjoyed brunch at FARMbloomington this weekend! Made a reservation for a Saturday afternoon but probably didn't need it. Absolutely loved the calamari and Brussels sprouts appetizers. The chai latte was also very tasty! The entrees were also good but the appetizers stole the show. Everything made fresh and staff all very friendly!
FARM is the best kind of place - a non chain, unique local place. The food is fantastic and freshly sourced (they even bake their own pita chips for the black bean hummus - which is fabulous!) The decor is adorable, with collected items from antique type markets, and service was great. We loved it and will be back.
