Customer Reviews

"Love this place! Has that old fashioned diner feel! Got the steak & eggs and it was awesome! My dad got the Hillbilly breakfast and was impressed!"

- Michael A.

"My husband and I stopped in this morning for breakfast. We haven't been here in a few years, but remembered their breakfast was delicious. No regrets with our decision because it most definitely was a great breakfast (and to think we almost ate at IHOP). We both got the French Hillbilly breakfast. It is SO much food for $10.99. 2 Eggs, 2 French Toast, 2 Sausage Links, 2 Strips of Bacon, 2 Pieces of Toast, and a huge portion of Hash Browns. It was fresh, hot, and fulfilling after a busy morning getting the kids ready for school. Our server Gayle was wonderful too. It was all a reminder that we need to come here more often."

- Lauren D.

"I went here with a group after an event for a late breakfast. They were able to accommodate our fairly large, last minute group arrival quickly and efficiently. We had a wonderful waitress that was totally on the ball with order accuracy and customer service. The food came out quickly. It was fresh, but a little bland for my liking. Just my opinion. Overall a great experience and my taste opinion should not sway anyone from trying this restaurant. The service and menu variety make it worth a try and I cannot say that I won't go back and try other menu options."

"I've passed this place a few times, and I'm so glad I finally stopped. Generous portions and wonderful corned beef hash, fair prices and exceptional service. What more could I want? Highly recommended."

"This is my first time at the Farm Boy. It's exemplifies a mom-and-pop restaurant. Even the smell on walking into the restaurant, wakes up so many feelings, of nostalgia, memories of family outings and road trip dinner's. This is my favorite type of restaurant to eat at, one that has deep roots in history in the community. The prices were really good, and the serving sizes were perfect. The server was a long-term employee very professional and courteous. I got the Philly cheesesteak, with onion rings, both were very good. I do not come to this area very often, but this restaurant will be high on my list when I come back."
