I highly recommend making a reservation here as the restaurant is not that big. When we were seated people were being turned away because the waitlist was so long. This makes sense because it's a wonderful place! It was decorated nice and cozy for the holidays which I always love. I started with the chai espresso martini and it did not disappoint. That was absolutely delicious! I had to get the crispy chicken sandwhich and I am obsessed! The food came out super hot which is a plus for me. The crispy chicken was genuinely crispy and really delicious!

Cute brunch spot with delicious food and big portions! I always go for a Benedict and it does not disappoint. The portions are very big so I couldn't even finish it. The ambiance is very rustic and the service was fast and accommodating. The chai espresso martini is also to die for

Quant, cozy restaurant featuring many different options in food and drink. The people we met and the service here was great. Makes us want to come back and just hang out at the bar eating the lightly battered cheese curds. Delicious!

Had a great night at farm bar! We arrived a little early for our reservation so we sat at the bar and had espresso martinis and an order of fries. The bartender was super helpful and they were easily able to transfer our food/drinks tab to our table once it was ready. The rest of the meal was great, service was a little slow and our waiter wasn't the friendliest, but it might have just been an off night, usually my service here is great. I'd highly recommend eating on the patio when weather allows - it's so cute! The inside is nice too, it's just a little dark/noisy for my preference.

Farm Bar is the most perfect "neighborhood" restaurant. It's nestled right on a residential street and has the most welcoming and cozy atmosphere. The brunch was delicious, and the servers were all so helpful and kind. We ordered the chilaquiles and the eggs Benedict. The chilaquiles were heavy on the chips with a small portion of eggs on top, but still delicious!

Always absolutely delicious with great service. It is perfect for brunch and you can split the bill using the electronic paying system which is nice for big groups. The bar is great to sit at or the outdoor space as well! All of the food is local from their farms and you can tell.

Still adore Farm Bar!! Have been enjoying their seasonal pasta offerings a lot lately, as well and the expanded Mocktail menu and brunch!! Don't sleep on the Ravenswood location, as well! Perfect for a group that's on the larger side for Lakeview. :)

What a cute place. Reminds me of a restaurant you might find on Cape Cod. We needed a quick bite in the middle of the afternoon. Luckily the brunch menu was still being served. We ordered the Wisconsin Cheese Curds, French Fries and Caesar Salad. Everything was tasty and good size portions, but the Cheese Curds deserved special recognition. They featured a tempura batter unlike other curds I've tried. The warm cheese was oozy soft inside. The only reason this review doesn't feature five-stars is the service we experienced. Not sure if it was our server, the kitchen or a combination of both. It shouldn't take 20 minutes to place an order. The food prep seemed drawn out as well. Our server apologized for the delay and blamed something in the kitchen. Wish we knew what to expect when we were seated.

Location

Located in the heart of Lakeview, Chicago, Farm Bar offers a unique dining experience with its cozy ambiance and rustic decor. This women-owned establishment prides itself on offering a diverse menu that caters to all dietary preferences, including vegan and vegetarian options.

As a food reviewer of Res Menu, I had the pleasure of sampling some of Farm Bar's signature dishes and drinks. From the phony Negroni during Dry January to the Brown Dog Old Fashioned cocktail, their drink menu is impressive and inventive. The Cider Sangria and Bees Knees cocktails are must-tries for those looking for a refreshing and flavorful beverage.

When it comes to food, Farm Bar does not disappoint. Customers rave about the crispy chicken sandwich and the lightly battered cheese curds, both of which are delicious and satisfying. The brunch menu, featuring chilaquiles and eggs Benedict, is also highly recommended for a flavorful start to the day.

The friendly and accommodating service, combined with the quaint and inviting atmosphere, make Farm Bar a neighborhood gem that is perfect for a casual meal or a night out with friends. Whether you choose to dine indoors or on the charming patio, you are sure to enjoy a memorable experience at Farm Bar in Lakeview.
