The Farm House Restaurant

This is a nice little place, been twice and enjoyed it both times. Will be back again

The character within the restaurant is nice for an old farmhouse style restaurant. Our service was slow, although there was only one waitress working the entire restaurant for Sunday brunch. I ordered strawberry cream cheese stuffed French toast for $ 13. I received two slices of French toast with strawberry cream cheese spreading between them.
On top were a handful of shriveled strawberries that looked like they had been around for about a week. The side dish was home fries, which were crispy and seasoned nicely, although they were dry. The food wasn’t necessarily bad, but I was expecting more.

Hit or miss– sometimes good, often pretty poor. All too often they don’t have the staff there, or just walking in late. I wouldn’t suggest anything that should be fresh, seems like most of the dinners come out of the freezer. Get a hard liquor on the rocks and you’ll be buying two for the size. Great place to sit outside during the summer and have some beers and appetizers but not a good dinner.

Stopped for dinner twice on Saturday eve. In the past month. Good service, Great food. We tried both the regular menu items (Pork tenderloin was delicious) and specials (Striped Bass special was excellent), apps were also good, and we did get a la carte salads both times, again very good. Wine list is limited but very reasonably priced, Great experience both times.

I would give this place a half star but we cant. I wont get into how disappointed we all were from the service to the drunk they have as a chef and how you sit on top of other tables. Maybe they need to either sell or get new management.

I’ve been here numerous times and everything has always been good. Stephanie does a great job at the bar. Everything I have had to eat has been tasty. The owner, Ted, and his wife Pat are often there and fun to banter with. It has always been an enjoyable experience whenever I have been here.

The food is outstanding, their service is terrific and drinks are just as good! Travis, the bartender, Dina and Sheryl, the waitresses provide wonderful service and dining. The first Friday of the month Voice in the Mirror provide great music if you like 60’s, 70′, & 80’s genre! Our favorite appetizers are the stuffed crab on a bed of baby greens and the calamari drizzled with balsamic sauce topped with Jalapenos. Yum! Love it, love it!

Was suspicious when there was only one other table occupied on a Thursday night with a packed parking lot. Apparently the golf is better than the food.
Started with the red beet salad. Looked good but the beets were canned and the pine nuts rancid.
The NY strip steak was perfectly cooked to medium rare. Unfortunately it was nearly inedible because of the grizzle. Stew Meat! The steak was topped with canned mushroom gravy. Not worth $ 32.
The fingerling potatoes were ok but a bit dry.
So disappointed. Would not recommend this place.

Very nice place. The I had the lamb appetizer and it was okay, tasted like it was grilled with no spices though. For my main course I got the pork chop and it was dry as a bone. Also my garlic mashed potatoes were cold right when they hit the table. The waitress was very nice, and was especially sweet to my 3 year old. Now I know the next thing isn’t the restaurants fault but man, some of the other patrons think a bit too highly of themselves. You are at a PUBLIC course! If you want to act like you are at Aronimink, then go get a membership there. If not-​RELAX. My 3 year old was behaving very well and we still got looks of disgust from others. Mind you this was 5pm on a Saturday. It wasn’t 9pm. If that didn’t happen I would have given this place another shot.

This is hands down the best restaurant in the area. You cannot go wrong with this place. The crab cake was great with virtually no filler. The lobster ravioli was the bomb! Service was great and everyone was friendly. We WILL be coming back to the Farm House!

Great find in Skippack! Small, quiet, great experience. We went for lunch and were one of two tables in the entire restaurant. The service was friendly and I will definitely go back

I give a one star review because the concept this place attempts was poorly executed during my visit and the Farm House had sub par customer service to boot. I received the impression the food here was a few notches less than their attempt at casual/​upscale American and was cloaked in golf club pretention. I unfortunately will not be coming back and did not feel the hike to Skippack was worth it. I left feeling BAD for spending a Friday night here! I do not recommend this place to anyone who dines out frequently and can recognize well-​executed food.
Caesar salad: under seasoned dressing and improperly broken down salad. There was head of romaine in the mix. Forgiveable, but still not tasty considering the salad and the dressing ARE the dish. This is a basic litmus test for an American restaurant just like general Tso’s is for a Chinese place.
Crab and avocado salad on special: this came out with the avocado molded into a tartare patty-​esque shape, with some crab on top, with a salad in some citrus vinaigrette on the side. I really thought I would love this dish since I love every one of the ingredients individually. This dish was actually an interesting concept but was lacking flavor. And I found an external avocado nub hidden in the tartare… by biting into it. The crab wasn’t truly lump crab. You know, that beautiful clunky white stuff, but some tasteless, pulled apart, gray stuff. The avocado tartare was tasteless too and hard to eat. And the vinaigrette was too sparse to break up any of the rich avocado flavor or fix the crab blandness. The pit was unnerving to find and the icing on top.
The chicken carbonara was actually made with rotini pasta, not gemeli as advertised in the menu, though this is not a big deal. The dish was tasty and passable except halfway through, we discovered a hair. This dish was sent back and we received zero apologies from the staff.
The lobster ravioli filling was tasty, but it was engulfed by a thick, dumpling-​like shell which overwhelmed the insides and defeated their luscious purpose. Sauce was zesty and nice. This dish was edible, but would have been much better if the pasta dough was less thick and enabled the gourmet stuffing to speak.
After all of this, the chef comes out and offers us free dessert. No thanks as weren’t sure how we would be disappointed by it and at this point wanted leave. We felt he was a little out of touch with the experience from our perspective, and did the right thing by coming out, but the wrong thing by attempting to fix dishes with dessert instead of a discount or comp.
We had to hassle them to remove parts of the check and were surprised after all of that they didn’t without us pointing it out. If it were another place they would have profusely apologized for such a terrible experience just in individual dishes, but overall, and not attempted to make the customer pay anyway.
Atmosphere got busy as the night went on. There was a live band in the bar area. The dining area is freshly painted and pretty standard. Beige walls, with some reddish-​painted molding mid wall and top and bottom. Pictures frames with gold frames. Hardwoods covered by rugs.

Only been here once. My wife and I were looking for something new in Skippack. It’s in the golf club. I got the trout. I liked it a lot and the beet salad was good to. My wife got a pasta dish she said it was very good. It was not crowded and the server was very friendly. We will go back again.

Stopped in last night for a small family dinner. Very nice atmosphere, felt cozy and comfortable. All tables and the bar were full, service was good. Our calamari and macncheese apps were pretty good. Entrees were braised short rib, rib eye, salmon, and crabcake. All were decent, nothing special. Felt like the food was a bit overpriced for the quality. Worth stopping in, but doubt I would go back.

This place is awesome! Travis provided great service, great menu recommendations, AND great martinis with blue cheese stuffed olives! This is a gem in the country… it’s worth the drive outside Skippack!

Love this place, food always good and Travis the bartender is the best!!! Great martini. With hand made blue cheese olives!!! Always great conversation with Travis.

Went on a Saturday for lunch and loved it. The sweet potato fries were delicious. We ordered shrimp po boy, farmhouse burger that has a fried egg on it, and a harvest salad. Everyone loved their meal. The service was wonderful, our waiter was fun, informative and gave great advice on menu items. The restaurant is cozy with windows looking out to the golf course.

Overpriced and food less than appetizing. Very small portions (2 small scallops appetizer and 3 small scallops, 3 small shrimp entrée). Risotto or rice with peas? Unfortunately the latter. Disappointing. Wait staff/​hostess were nice, however.

Great meal, wonderful atmosphere and the staff is super nice. Wish the restaurant was a little bigger but that is my only complaint. Either way the food is amazing!

Had lunch here last week. Very quiet and lovely setting. The food was delish with interesting choices. I had butternut squash soup and half of a Chicken Cranberry Salad sandwich witch was very good. They have a full service bar. The dining area is nice and cozy with French doors at one end of the room and a fireplace. High-​top table seating by the bar. There is outdoor seating in the warm season.
We are planning a wedding shower here and Sean the food and beverage director couldn’t be nicer or more helpful.
