I moved here 3 1/2 years ago. I tried to be guided by the local reviews in the NEWTIMES and AZ REPUBLIC
and have found that there exists a food snobbery in this area that overrates some places and ignores others. The Farmhouse does better business than the snobberies because simply it's food is better.
The taste of my omelette probabily was the best of any breakfast joint that is privately owned although the Cracker in Mesa is excellant. There is a line on Sunday in fact generally there is a line at every place tha serves breakfast on Sunday.
It is just that the omleletes here are a notch above other places

Wednesday's fried chicken dinner is my favorite. Get there early or it will be sold out. Blackberry cobbler for dessert is the ultimate way to top off this meal. Best "home" cooking I've tried since leaving the deep south.
I know this is a breakfast site, but whoever said fried chicken isn't breakfast food?

If you gave Gilbert House the nod over The Farmhouse you need a drugtest. This place rocks. Perfect portions, steaming hot and perfectly prepared. Everything I've had here tastes delicious. And its not your average bacon and eggs. Definately a departure from the staus quo. My last trip I fell in love with the waitress. I'm not kidding she was adorable and I'd marry her in a heartbeat. Perfect proportions! She's no kid either. Will you marry me blondee? Thanks for giving me some of each on the salads. I just couldn't decide.

First let me say that I read most of the reviews and #6535 remarked that some are confusing the Gilbert House with the Farmhouse and that the Gilbert House should get the credit for the "no so good meal" review.
I agree that the reviews are mixed and there may be a negative but I only saw two very positive ones that definitely were talking about the Gilbert House - #12283 and #12902.
My only experience at the Farmhouse was negative. A small wait (no big deal), a dirty chair and sticky table, mediocre food and a very harried rude server.
However, I've often eaten at the Gilbert House. I love the food, the coffee is great and the service friendly. And a big plus for me over the Farmhouse - I've never had to wipe off my chair and table before being able to sit down.

I love the Farmhouse!! Their cinnomin rolls are amazing!! Their B.L.T's are to die for. Fast service and actually to tell u the truth i never waited in line to be seated. The place is just GREAT! ( also for kids their mini burgers are "yummy" as my two year old brother would say).

The Farm House is a charming place with great homestyle food. I had the berry pancakes which were awesome. Be sure to try the freshly made cinnamon rolls. Go on a nice day and sit on the patio. Inside is a bit small and crowded.

Just got back from The Farmhouse, it was fantastic. I read a few reviews before and I agree it hard to find better. The building isn't, as previous reviewer said "just an old building", it is just simply charming! The place was packed yet we still did not have to wait long at all. Our service was excellent not to mention delicious food (or did I already mention that!). Try the yummy Biscuits & Gravy-out of this world. Great coffee too!

The Farmhouse is one of the few places where I'll wait for 45 minutes to eat breakfast. Delicious scrambles, friendly staff, quick service, and the best blackberry cobbler ever. Love it.

Review by: Anonymous Breakfast Lover on 11/8/2007
It's a long drive from where I live to the Farmhouse, so it's not a frequent stop. However, over the years, I think I've been there enough times to say I recommend it as a place of consideration, especially if in that part of the valley. I can't recall the total number of times that I've left underwhelmed by the meal/experience, but there have been a couple. The last trip wasn't such an experience whatsoever. In fact, it reminded me why I will find the time to make the long drive into Gilbert from where I live even when I've nothing else going on in that section of the metro area.

Had lunch there today on a reccomendation from a co-worker. The food was very good and the service prompt and courteous. The Lemon cake was the best I have ever had! I would go back in a heartbeat.

Review by: bbobb on 9/14/2007
I have had breakfast for several years and the food is really good. However, the service is starting to get worse. The younger waitresses are the best and they are at least courteous and polite. The older waitresses are rude, cranky, slow, and need to find other employment.

I'm glad it didn't read your previous reviews before going to the Farmhouse,I may have not and miss a great meal. We enjoyed everything we had for breakfast. Coffee was delicious, but who could go wrong with Illy coffee. The service was friendly and attentive, especially given it was very busy. I will go back again and again!

Review by: Anonymous Breakfast Lover on 3/12/2007
Long line on a mid-day Monday. Service was HORRIBLE. Our waitress was rude, she was trying to hurry us out of there and our food was cold. About the only positive was the the food was delievered very quickly, albeit cold. The food was very bland, there was nothing that I can say was tasty or even above average. I've had better meals at Dennys. Will NEVER go back.

We had a long wait on Sunday morning. The cinnamon roll was excellent. The fried potatoes were ok, if one likes fried potatoes, and seemed to be served with everything. The omelet with ham & veggies was extremely salty. The steak was very over-done, the biscuits were nice and fluffy but the gravy was ordinary as was the coffee. The charge of $.95 per pancake for blueberries is outrageous. I would have liked fresh fruit with the option of fresh cream served in a cute pitcher. I would have liked biscuits and pots of butter and home-style jams instead of small packets of jelly that are available everywhere. Joe's Bar-B-Q has a lot of style and really good food. This restaurant has only old tables in an old building - no style - and huge portions of mostly ordinary food at rather high prices.

Never had a bad meal here. Great food, great service! Been going there for 8 years and still have some of the same servers! Don't see that too often. There will be a line if you go on the weekend, but it's worth it. Lunch is awesome too.
The Farmhouse moved from it's original location a number of years ago, like 5 or 6. The Gilbert House is in their old location. It's different from the Farmhouse, but very nice also.

Yummy food and fast service. This place is always packed on the weekends but the wait is usually not bad. I highly reccomend the green chili pork omlette.

Review by: mpnorman on 8/3/2006
Well, you won't like this one. First there is the wait. Imagine the audacity of some people to like the same restaurant you do... how rude. Other people should choose mediocre restaurants... hehe. And then there is the portions and variety. What the heck is a scramble anyway? These are things I probably shouldn't be liking as much as I do... at least the vegetables are always fresh so that part is simple enough to understand. Also, I like to be grumpy in the morning sometimes and there is nothing worse than being brought right out of it by a smile and general friendliness by everyone... geeesh. Unlike the servers at this resturant, I like my servers tired from not having enough sleep, confused, and distracted, because it is their first job and they would rather be anywhere else. It is simply odd to be served by some of the same people that served you ten years previously in the same restaurant. Where's the turnover? Also I have never sat next to anyone there that I didn't like... what's that about?

Review by: Grady on 3/10/2006
this place is kiddie corner from Joes Real BBQ. It is in Downtown Gilbert and a great little place with alot of character. Its NO chain. Home fries cooked with different seasonings. Very good prices but get there early or late on the weekend. two specials offered daily and serves lunch too. Down side would be that there might be a wait as I saw a pad of paper to write your name down when there's a line. The coffee is great!

Review by: kjdorgan on 1/1/2006
After reading some of these reviews, I can tell some of the people are confused. The Farm House Restaurant is not under new managment but has moved locations... to 228 N. Gilbert Road. There is a restaurant at the old location...this is most likely who should receive the credit for the no so good meal. I have enjoyed every meal at The Farm House and its sad to see the continued confusion regarding the move. The Farm House has been run by a Mother and Daughter team for many years and hopefully for many more...

Under the new management what the Farm House used to offer disappeared. I have been there twice since they were taken over and was not thrilled either time by service or food.

Review by: Anonymous Breakfast Lover on 3/26/2005
After hearing glowing "reports" for years, my wife & I decided to experience this restaurant for ourselves. We were very disappointed. Allowing that the service was exceptional, the quality & flavor of the breakfast was barely ordinary. I hope we were just there on a "bad day" because this taste sensation does not deserve any praises.

The breakfast specials are unbelievable! The artichoke, spinach, black olive and other verggies omelet is to kill for. Top it off with their famous green chili salsa and it gets no better in the Phoenix area!

Review by: Talos on 5/12/2003
Big portions here, in an old building giving it some extra atmosphere. The potatoes with the eggs are seasoned really great.
There is a line to get in this place on weekends, it's that good. It's owned by a mother/daughter team where Mom works hard in that kitchen.
