The Farmer’s Daughter on Main & Vine

My neighbor and I went to try this place shortly after it opened. It was he, his two boys and I. I got french toast and it was two small slices of bread for $10.99. He ordered shrimp and grits that took a long time to get, and he was disappointed. The boys shared a drink and had a small breakfast. The meal cost is $45, and we have not returned since that bad experience.

Amazing food! Love to support local families!

Soups are good, we had tortellini soup. We also had sandwiches, I had egg salad and it was delicious. The other girls had chicken salad and said it was good.

Unexpectedly the worst food I've ever paid for. There was nothing redeeming about any food my partner and I got. Another patron, a total stranger, asked me to check his home fries. I could confirm they were as bad as he thought. He returned them, got a new batch of the same terrible fries, then they appeared with my meal, too. I should have heeded the warning. So across the three of us, the only ones in the restaurant, who didn't even all know each other, unanimously agreed this was one of the worst meals we'd ever been served. (Another patron entered towards the end of our meals whom the owner appeared to know) The burger: overcooked and underseasoned. Patty was rough and mealy, with unflavorful beef with no apparent binder. The cheese offered nothing but sad color. The home fries: Nearly raw in the middle and somehow nearly burnt on the outside. Deeply unappealing. The Omelette: fillings were uncooked, making the vegetables rubbery. The meat was sparse and tasteless. Like the burger, the cheese did not improve anything and offered almost no flavor. You may think our sense of taste could have been compromised, and I thought the same thing! But a stranger concurred, and we were able to taste things fine earlier and later that day. Service was slow and unsteady. It's an order-at-the-front situation, which is fine, but neither patron nor employee could read the prices on the one paper menu due to small font and poor color choices. The staff seemed to think that waiting while an employee squinted at a paper sign was normal and ok. Baffling. The bringing of the food to the table was fine. Hard to screw that up, honestly. The other patron had to hunt around for an employee to register his complaint. That employee ended up being the purported owner, who started explaining (without any invitation or prompt that I could hear) that they are a realtor, and their real project was the vintage clothing store by the same name in the adjacent space. I fully believe them. I cannot comment on the store as it was closed at the time. But the restaurant was an insult to comfort food, made with the absolute minimum grade ingredients and no apparent expertise nor care. I felt insulted that this food was given to us. We would have fared better for lunch at a school cafeteria or a vending machine. Go anywhere else.

Great hamburger, medium well!
