The atmosphere alone makes it worth the visit, but the food definitely holds its own. The burgers were the standout--juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right.

It's the perfect spot for a date night or catching up with friends--cozy, inviting, and easy to settle into for a relaxed meal. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area.

I also liked the pizza, I think it was called the Bee Sting? Nice flavor, would eat that again. Otherwise we did not enjoy our experience. We were seated underneath a vent that continuously sprayed water, at one point right into my food. No thanks. I ended up sampling the kids' macaroni and cheese, which was utterly bland. The salad portion was skimpy to boot. On the whole, we felt no need to return. Maybe you will have (or have already had) a better experience. But with so many options out there we will look elsewhere.

The portions here are huge! I ordered a bacon cheeseburger, and I was blown away when it arrived…read more It was stacked high on a round roll with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, a 1/2-lb. juicy patty, and a generous stack of crispy bacon, all held together by a wooden BBQ skewer. My order came with perfectly seasoned fries and a homemade pickle. The patty was cooked exactly how I like it--medium--and the bacon was super crispy. Once you pick this burger up, you've got to commit to holding it together, but it's totally worth it. The fries were well-seasoned and crispy, and the pickles added just the right amount of sourness to balance all the savory flavors. Despite all the meat and bacon, the burger wasn't greasy at all. The round roll soaked up the juices perfectly without getting soggy. All I have to say is, save your appetite, because this is one meal you won't regret!

The fries were perfect and we tried two different wings, garlic and thai chili. Both were great. The service was amazing, he was the bartender but also continued to check in on us.

I drive by here all the time and finally had a chance to stop in for their burger. It's grilled on the spot when you place your order, and while it's good, the show stealer is is the ice cream. Great flavors that you'll fight over, it's almost it's hidden secret. If the hidden secret wasn't already being to put coins in the dispenser and getting chicken feed. The coops are just down the farm, a short walk from the outdoor benches. It's pure fun, just like this place.

Farm Cafe 40 Old Hook Road…read moreCloster, NJ 07624 Homemade Hibiscus Iced Tea Farm Burger This country style cafe is located on the Abram Demaree Homestead farm. This building has been around since 1700s and was formerly a general store and tavern. All of the menu items are freshly prepared in house using organic ingredients directly from the farm. These are a couple of the lunch menu items I explored: Homemade Hibiscus Iced Tea: This herbal beverage has a reddish color; its appearance is different from an original iced tea. The drink was very refreshing with a slightly tart taste. Farm Burger: This ounce angus patty includes lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and a secret sauce. I also added yellow American cheese for a $1 up charge. I cannot identify the ingredients of the secret sauce, hence the name. It was really tasty and I requested a small extra cup on the side for dipping. For the most part, this was a tasty burger. Next time, I will request to have the patty cooked medium well because I feel a well done burger compromises its flavor. This cafe also serves as a farmers market; they sell grocery items such as homemade honey and farm fresh eggs. There is ample indoor and outdoor seating. I highly recommend dining in so you can take in the country atmosphere. #farmcafe #abramdemareehomesteadfarm #farmburger #hibiscusicedtea #closternj

Prices are good, 2 sliders for $13 and cheesesteak was $14. Took them about 10 minutes to prepare all the items. The sliders and cheesesteak were so good. The quality of La Frieda steak was so obvious. The yellow cheese, caramelized onion and buns, all of it complimented the patty. Loved the Mac & cheese bites as well.

Service was quick with a friendly staff. The menu isn't huge but has a bit of everything. We had the crab cakes, def loaded with crab and no fillers. The lobster roll was nice and buttery, scallops were cooked perfectly. No chewiness, many places tend to over cook them but not here. Cool little spot for a date night or family lunch. Not too spacious inside but the food was worth it. Tad on the pricy side but the seafood felt fresh enough that it wasn't a complaint. I'll def come back and try other things.
