Farm House Restaurant

It’s been years since I have been here. The thing about it is that this was one of the first restaurants I visited after moving to Cleveland, TN in 2001. It has changed too in the way it looks inside and outside.
I came here for lunch today. They had country fried steak special today with white gravy. It was delicious. I also got their fried squash as it was ok. I also got pickled beets which were unbelievably good. They reminded me of when I was a baby and I was the only one who liked them as my brothers didn’t like them. Anyway, the beets tasted just like the way my mama fixed them.
The sweet tea was home made as was so good I got one to go.

This was our first trip here in quite a while. I don’t know if their quality has slipped or we have been spoiled by better quality food at Angelia’s on APD 40.
We both ordered Chicken and Dressing for our Entrée. My wife ordered Turnip Greens and Yams as sides. The Yams were good, but the Turnip Greens were pretty much in edible.
The sides I ordered were Pinto Beans and Mashed Potatoes. When the waitress brought our food she told me that the only gravy they had that day (Thursday) was the white gravy that they put on the dressing. I said to leave it off. Bad mistake! The potatoes are POWDERED potatoes and they were not mixed very well. I had to put a large amount of butter & salt in/​on them to be able to even get them down.
In addition, the Chicken & Dressing is just dressing with a little amount of pulled chicken on top. It is not dressing with chicken mixed in and baked like most restaurants do.
This experience will remind us not to return.

Not impressed with my first visit at lunch last week. Place half full. I walked in and sat at a table near center. No one greats you or seats you.
Sat for over 5 minutes, servers walking past left and right without them even stopping or speaking. After another couple of minutes I left and will not be back. Only reason I am giving them 2 stars vs 1 is because the food might be good but the service assures I will never find out.

Small and locally owned, Farmhouse Restaurant is one of Cleveland’s little secrets. The food is always very good, country cooking. Compared to the other options in town, I will choose Farmhouse everytime. It is usually a little cheaper priced. Especially when you factor in the college student discounts and the free meal on your birthday. Overall, I think this place is awesome and would recommend to anyone.

It’s just good country cooking. You can get all the vegetables you want and need. College students always go on Thursdays and one other day for their chicken casserole which is great, but a little light on the chicken. Staff is kind and country as expected.

Everybody found their dishes delicious. The prices are great and there’s a good selection of comfort food. There’s lots of seating and service was good. The only disappointment was the Peanut Butter Cake, which had no PB flavor at all — it was just an ordinary moist chocolate cake.
