Amazing Grass-Fed Beef Burgers are not all youll find at Farm Burger. They offer other delicious naturally and responsibly/sustainably raised meats as well as gourmet add-ons like roasted garlic, arugula, Point-Reyes blue cheese, watercress, naturally raised thick bacon, etc., and some even more exotic ones. They have local hard cider and gluten-free buns available for our friends with GF lifestyles. In addition, they have a full menu of delicious craft beers and theres always something new...oh and the MOST AMAZING FRIES EVER-- "Farm Burger Fries" tossed with fresh garlic, Parmesan and parsley. Weve always received great service. They have a cool staff, relaxing environment that encourages community. Theres a kids play area in one corner, and coloring crayons, but the other end of the restaurant by the bar has high tables and stools and does not feel like a "family restaurant" experience (which I want to avoid when we go out sans children). Environmentally conscious efforts are evident throughout the restaurant. We love Farm Burger, and hope they keep offering delicious, fun, farm-to-table oriented eats for years to come!

The food has great potential... when we had gotten our food it literally took 2 minutes for our food to come out. Everything was just thrown together and cold. Our French fries where a mixture of old fries and fresh fries, so the fresh ones where fantastic but the other ones where hard and discusting. The burgers where really dry too. My husband got the onion haystack and blue cheese on his burger and the crispy onions where cold and stale and only part of his burger had blue cheese on it. The cooks put no love or care into their food and you can tell they put left over food they had prepared and threw it together. We where very disappointed with our food. Despite the food the customer service was great! The workers are very courteous and tried to make stuff right for us. The seasonal pumpkin milkshake was ridiculously good too. All the elements are there for a great restraunt the kitchen staff just needs to get their stuff together or just hire a new one altogether.

Eat here, duh. Ridiculously good, simple burgers. Fresh, great meat. $8-10 per burger, fries extra. They also have veggie and chicken burgers(chicken is really good too). Onion rings are great, but eat them fast or they get soggy. Fries are just right. Beer in cans and on tap, salads, good sides, kids menu. This place is a little noisy, but not crazy. Theres a kids play zone, and heated outdoor seating. Theyll cook your burger to preference, and it was actually rare when i ordered it rare. Fast once you order, it can get too crowded when sportz are on.

The burgers are juicy; the fries are crispy! As far as a burger joint, theyre firing on all cylinders. Rich flavorful sammies that require a napkin or two! They get an extra star just for doing their sweet potato fries right! I must warn thee though, its best to order ahead because the lines can get ridiculous! The employees smile (not the fake kind) which adds to the good vibe atmosphere. Im not gonna say this joint is expensive, but, the "budget-friendly" tag given by Zagat doesnt quite fit the bill either imho.

Food is high quality. Burger is a good deal but shake was expensive. Kale slaw wasnt chopped and hard to eat. Main reason for the average rating is service was very strange. It was slow. Also, we ordered at the front but someone came around and kept asking our friend if he wanted more beer(which started feeling intrusive). Plus, another server asked another person in our party to ask our friend if he wanted more beer. It was really strange. Food was good though.

Its okay, I asked for a medium burger, got a well-done one, just dont bother asking me youre gonna cook it the way you want anyways. The toppings are expensive, I havent tried any of their non-beef patties, maybe those are more flavorful, but my $20 burger was bland, under salted, under seasoned, sub-par. I love the concept of farm burger, but I think it fails to execute what it set out to do i.e. a better, more wholesome burger worth the price-tag.

Doughnut Dolly was to close up for good. Stop by and show my appreciation to what she had accomplished. Farm Burger is one of those places that I come to when Ive hectic days with meet ups or when clients are not available. I usually sit inner back with facing front door. Occasionally I would get a full meal, but most of the time I snatch a root beer float (priceless). The is clean and organize with workers on top of their game.

It may have been what I ordered, but I think I expected more and was left disappointed. I ordered the #1 medium (should be a little pink) and it came very well done. The sauce and bun were delicious, but there was no produce and the dried out patty needed it. The fries were cooked perfectly. I will 0robably try it again and order a little more carefully. As for this review, I would not go out of my way to get there.

The burger is very good and I love that its all grass fed beef. The service is terrible and the people who work there are weird. Clearly management requires them to 1. Ask certain things to try and sell more when you order, and 2. Badger anyone who orders alcohol into ordering more. The milkshake was outstanding. The kale coleslaw was a joke, though I like the concept.

Service with a sneer... Maybe Im just turning into a cranky old man, but I asked for a little help with the menu since I dont come here often, and was treated to an eye roll before the explanation. Its really too bad because the food is very good. Same deal with Eureka burger on center street - no clue on how to provide decent service.

Tasty burgers with ingredients you can be proud of eating or feeding your kids. Took our gang here (with twin 2 year olds). Their menu is great for kids and adults alike. Burgers, salads, fries, chicken lollipops all on point. Awesome selection of craft beers. Bonus: a kids play area. Great food, brews, and amazing for the little ones!

Such yummy burgers. FB sauce is totally awesome sauce. I usually get their market salad with a patty, which they change up all the time. Great local organic ingredients. Tasty sweet potato fries. And some other fun things on the menu, like bone marrow. And its the best place to bring kids, they have a devoted play area :)

As a die hard medium-rare guy, Farm Burger always does it perfectly and super fast with meat that tastes like it was ground an hour ago. They love kids (a huge plus) and have a great play space set up for the young ones. While the presentation sometimes suffers for the need for speed, the positives are overwhelming.

Really tasty burgers at a decent price given the location and the nice ambiance. It looks like its a great place to come with kids as there is a section for them to play with seats directly overlooking the area. Overall a great burger, at a decent price, with good ingredients, and a family friendly atmosphere.

Delicious thoughtfully sources burgers and more for normal prices, friendly service, and good ambiance.The lunch menu and daily combo are especially good deals and I love that they feature local breweries on tap. Very family friendly as theres even a play area for kids.
