I recently visited Farm Bar with my cousin, and even without a reservation, our experience was fantastic! We decided to sit at the bar, where the bartender was incredibly attentive and made us feel right at home.
My cousin opted for the grilled cheese on tomato soup, and I went with the breaded pork chop. Both dishes were delicious, but the pork chop truly stole the show. Cooked to perfection, it left a lasting impression on my taste buds.
The lack of a reservation didn't pose any issues; instead, it added to the spontaneous and welcoming atmosphere. Farm Bar is a hidden gem with friendly staff and mouthwatering food—I'll definitely be back for that pork chop!
Pretty good and large portions of fish and chips. I actually might like it more than Duke of Perth, which is kinda the go to spot in the area. Fish was very fresh, light, and crispy. I like that they do a large fillet instead of sticks or smaller pieces because the ratio of fish to batter is better, but that often makes it more difficult to fry well so kudos to them. Cheese curds were probably my fav I've tried. Fries were crispy but kinda standard thin fast food style. My cocktail was decent but they had a good selection along with wines that seemed well curated. Very lively and busy on a Friday night but they'll let you do bar seating and service was still attentive. Definitely see why it's so busy for dinner.
I noticed afterwards positive reviews about the desserts so I wish they'd asked if we wanted anything or coffee, but next time.
I am a tad burger obsessed, and Farm Bar easily has one of the top five burgers I’ve had. The burger patty itself has the perfect fat content, the perfect meaty flavor, and they always cook it exactly how I’ve asked. The bun is buttery and a perfect pillow for the burger to be nestled in. I am drooling just thinking about having one right now.
This bone marrow though- wowza. Not that it needs anything else, but they serve it with a whole head of roasted garlic for the bread too. It’s…an insanely divine dish. Go get it.
Farm Bar is a dream. 😍

Starting with the great stuff: fantastic food, beautiful decor and friendly staff. The cheese curds really are to die for! The brunch menu is filled with incredible options. The Eggs Benedict was delicious! I wanted to try everything and I'm very excited to return so I can. Also can't wait to try the new location in Ravenswood!!!
Next the only reason I didn't give 5 stars across the board. I visited on a Sunday and it was incredibly busy (great for them!!). For me it unfortunately felt physically very crowded. My seat has its back to an aisle and every person that walked past bumped me even though I was pushed as far into the table as possible. It was incredibly loud between the music, small space and full tables so that it was hard to have a conversation (which felt weird at noon on a Sunday). So my only thing would be that I think they've arranged it to fit as many people as possible (which I fully get from a business standpoint) but it leads to a less than ideal dining experience during rush hours.
What a place to have dinner! All the food was delicious: the brussel sprouts came with the most delicious pork belly and apples, the burger was very tasty and the chicken cooked to perfection, charred outside and tender and juicy inside. Robert was super nice to us as well. 10/10.
We love Farm Bar. I always feel like they should be for special occasions because they are so classy but their prices warrant more regular visits. Every vegetarian (and other happy eaters) need to try the beet Reuben sandwich. The beets have a subtle smokiness that’ll make your heart melt.
This place has a nice atmosphere. Felt very crowded inside so we sat outside (has about 7 tables on Wellington Ave). Service was good but can be a little slow. Food unfortunately was basic.
Ordered a burger, a sandwich and a salad. The salad was nice and the burger was great, but the sandwich (fish) was a disappointment with almost no seasoning. Also the burger and fish sandwich look identical (see photos) which is not a deal breaker, but somewhat a miss in my opinion.
We wanted some dessert, but at the end our waiter started serving other tables and wasn't reachable so we decided on eating dessert somewhere else.
Farm Bar is a cute trendy bar in Lakeview. With lots of American staples in a classier fashion, you'll have plenty to enjoy. I got the fried chicken sandwich, and it was really tasty but I have some notes. I wish the breading stayed on it a bit better because while the chicken and the breading individually were delicious, they were super great together. Also, I enjoyed the ketchup with the fries.
On Tuesdays they donate part of the bill to charity and there’s no extra cost which is cool too.
Excellent, eclectic menu from appetizers to dessert! Nice outdoor seating options as well.
overall good experience at farm bar. a little bit annoyed that i made a reservation and they sat us outside. our waiter luckily made room for us inside! we got the cinnamon roll, spicy chicken sandwich, breakfast tacos, and eggs benny. food was great and i would come back
