This is a number one stop for me anytime I'm in the area and it should be for you too! Right along the river with pretty views. Indoor and outdoor (when it's nice) seating and Adirondack chairs to sit in while you wait. I start my meal EVERY TIME with the lavender goat cheese bruschetta. A crispy crostini with lavender goat cheese, berries and a balsamic glaze .... I love this so much and will never miss it ! This time, I got the Asian bowl for my meal. The tuna was perfectly seared and sliced. The bowl was the perfect size with lots of veggies and quinoa. So many good cocktails as well! read more

Six of us met for lunch and had a wonderful experience. The staff was attentive and accommodated special requests. Great ambiance as always. Only thing that would have been good would have been a printed list of desserts and after-meal beverage choices. read more

I heard about this restaurant by word of mouth, and it is honestly amazing. I love a good restaurant that uses good quality ingredients. Great food, great drinks ,with an amazing view of the Peconic river. I had the avocado flatbread with goat cheese, which was pure perfection. The star of the show for me was the bolognese pasta for sure; I will come back for just for this dish alone.The desserts were amazing as well. Service was top notch too. Parking is a little rough there, but once you get passed that it's fine.Can't wait to return. read more

Saw this place online and it looked pretty to take my girl on a date, told her to put on her cutest summer dress and I got dressed up told her it was a surprise as to where we were going to go for lunch, it was also a surprise to me cause ive never been, it did not disappoint, she loved it, the scenery the friendly staff and the food was amazing, highly recommend the duck salad OMG it was cooked to perfection, had a hugo spritz, my girls favorite drink, she's very picky where and who makes it and she loved it wish it didnt rain on us so we could have stayed outdoors but we ran inside the small bar area that had a covering and one small table, we sat there had a drink coffee and dessert, prices were not bad for 2 people, $112 bill wasnt bad, as long as my girl was happy. we will def be going back with other family, I also love that it is off the beaten path and you dont know its there, but when you find it, it is worth it. read more

Wow! Just wow... I've heard so much about Farm Country Kitchen so when finishing an afternoon out on the north fork with a friend we decided to go here on a whim. Our whim turned into an amazing dinner. We were sat right away in an outdoor/screened in space. The place gives off farm vibes but with a hip and fun twist. Like you know they are throwing hoedowns in the dining spot closer to the Peconic River til all hours of the night (at least I hope they are). By the way, the river is totally viewable and is such a cool feature to the restaurant. Appetizer - Baked Clams...TENS ACROSS THE BOARD!!! One of THE BEST Baked Clams I have ever had. They are kept whole with the perfect amount of breadcrumb ratio. Blown away... For the main event, I had the Crescent duck salad. Whenever I can get duck, I try to partake because I will never attempt to cook it at home. When I saw The Crescent duck salad on the menu I knew I need to jump on this opportunity. The fruit that was in the salad was perfect with the tangy dressing, and my duck was cooked perfectly. My friend had the rigatoni Bolognese and she enjoyed it just as much as I enjoyed my salad. I wanted to save some room for dessert, but it just wasn't happening. Great experience with great food and I am definitely coming back for those baked clams! read more

Service was excellent. Had mussels for appetizer and they were good. Then.... Had the halibut special ($42) and the fish portion was very small and the fish was way over cooked. We also had the park bench salad and the grilled chicken on it was dryer than dry. As if it was old and reheated. We've been there before and I don't remember being so disappointed. read more

Farm Country Kitchen - Mussels with pesto. - American Near Me - Riverhead, New York

A hidden gem in Riverhead that is right on the river. Came for lunch and this restaurant exceeded my expectations. At first, I was a little confused on where to park and where to go to be seated. Once we were seated, we had a great experience! There are many seating options, but we chose the picnic table in front of the river. The employees were very friendly and helpful. I went with the black bean burger which came with a side salad. The whole meal was so fresh and very filling. I would love to come back and try more menu items next time! read more

This place is a cozy gem by the water with lovely views and plenty of outdoor seating. The food was good i went for lunch and got the serrano panini and also the sliced steak sandwich. it's honesty the same thing just with a different type of cheese. it comes with a side of pasta salad and it was good! the only caveat is that it's overpriced for a sandwich. the service was good our waiter is sometimes hard to find because they have to cover a lot of ground please note on packed days parking could be tough and we had to find street parking on the side of the parking lot. a very tranquil place for sure A- read more

Went in a few months ago to celebrate a nice anniversary lunch but instead felt treated so poorly. I reserved a table outside by the water within a two days notice! And when we walked in and told them that, they said the seats were all full up there and to accept their apology since they seated some people without reservations there. Fine, whatever. But then our server was super passive aggressive and rushed us to begin ordering! She also only ONCE checked up on us just to bring the check while we were still noticeably eating!!! So unprofessional. Felt a bit of discriminatory behavior as the rest of the people around us, that she was also serving, she was having full on conversations and laughs with them (they were all White). The food was great however would never come again. read more

Had reservations and watched several people who did not have reservations be seated before me. The hostess was completely lifeless and had no personality didnt really acknowledge our existence at any point. Waited 30 mins to be sat which was a little aggravating. The drinks were delicious and creative and that's where the good stopped. Our fried artichokes were an absolute disappointment. Small breaded lumps of overfried canned artichoke hearts that tasted of nothing but burnt oil. The crab cake sandwich was tasty but nothing to write home about. The macaroni salad that came with it was completely flavorless and boring. This location has such potential and an amazing views that you just really hope they figure out what happened to the food. read more

I was excited to try this spot because of the great rating and the beautiful pictures. But, it was very underwhelming for me. We arrived about 10 minutes before our reservation but had to wait 1 hour to be seated. It was fine since it was busy and we wanted outdoor seating. The restaurant was very beautiful and scenic but that's about all it offers. The menu was average and not what I expect for a place that presented itself as elegant and classy. We had the BBQ Shrimp ($18) for app and had the Baby Lamb Chop ($45) and Chicken Stelle ($28) for entrees. We ordered Hurricane ($16) and Old Fashioned ($16) for drinks and Creme Brulee Cheesecake ($12) for dessert. The BBQ Shrimp came with 5 shrimls and was decent and had a nice smoky taste. It paired well with the guac. It was a 7/10 for me. I was underwhelmed with the Chicken Stella. It was a bit undercooked and the sauce was average. I expected it to be a bit juicier. Out of everything, the best part was the mashed potatoes. It was a 6/10 for me. The Baby Lamb Chops were much too tough and not as tender as I've had at other places. It wasn't very seasoned and relied on the sauce for flavor. The best part of this dish was also the mashed potatoes! For $45, I would expect my lamb to be more tender and juicy and flavorful. Definitely not worth the price! It was a 6/10. The drinks were strong but not in a good way - there were times my Old Fashioned tasted like rubbing alcohol. Overall, it was a 6/10. The Hurricane was disgusting and disappointing. It was too many flavors in one drink, which ruined the taste. It was a 3/10. The best part was the dessert. The Creme Brulee Cheesecake was pretty rich and not overly sweet. I enjoyed it and the berries with fresh cream were a nice touch. This was an 8/10. Overall, this spot is great for the view and photos but not the food. The menu is a bit limited and the food is not very flavorful. I don't think many of the dishes were worth the price given how bland they tasted. I won't be going back here as I don't think it's worth the price or the trip. read more

From the outside you would think twice about walking in but we are so glad we stayed. Staff was friendly. John always checked up on us. Music was the right volume where it could be enjoyed and still hold a conversation. Our drinks (new fashioned and a Cozumel margarita) were big and delicious. Food was amazing!!! We ordered the Maria Panini and the Carmine. Both were great but we both agree that the Maria Panini was the best. The side salad was also good with their house vinaigrette. They make a house hot sauce and that was also delicious. We will def be returning when we are in the neighborhood. This place must be super nice in the spring/summer. Enjoy the pics. read more

Food - sorry, we could not be accommodated as they apparently full for the night. I so wanted to bribe them to try this place. No dice. And yes, I do understand but it's just disappointing that we could not be seated. Ambiance - definitely a romantic outdoor place by the Peconic water(bay?). Irks me but hey, what can we do? read more

I'm giving it four stars for the setting and the food but some things about the service need improvement. The outdoor setup on a river in a beautifully landscaped yard was outstanding. There were even options to sit on a chair overlooking the water with a drink from the bar. The menu had a myriad of delicious options. Our lamb chops and the chicken Stella were delicious. Now I would definitely return here but the check was weird. It's a good thing we checked our bill at the end because our $39 lamb chop dishes appeared on our check for $45 each. We told the waiter and it was corrected but we were told that there are discrepancies with the prices when it's rung up. If we didn't check we would have paid an additional $12. Our server did his best to sell a bottle of wine instead of just the glasses that were ordered and when we asked for a number of a cab service at the end the young servers told us to use our phones. They could have simply said they didn't know any. It was a good experience overall but if you're eating there check the bill at the end. read more

We were in the area and decided to try Farm Country Kitchen because it was highly recommended by so many. We went around lunch time on a Sunday and it was busy. Parking is limited, but that day they let us park either by a business that was closed (it was also full) or near the train tracks (where we parked). It was a nice day out so the walk didn't bother us. We asked for a table for two and only had to wait 5 minutes. The only downside was the spot we were seated, it was tight and we felt like we were in the way. The mussel basil was too good! Would definitely have it again. The Roberto pasta was delicious. The Montauk sandwich was ok, the sauce on the inside was a little too much and the potato salad had no flavor and it was too creamy. Overall we had a great time. Thank you! read more

Amazing every single time .. no idea how this place doesn't have 5 stars. The food is consistently well seasoned. The ambiance is relaxing in a fine dining setting. Inside or outside dining, it's always a good time. read more

Love this place on Peconic Bay with both inside and outside seating and fabulous views. Have been going here for years. Wonderful food, atmosphere, and staff. I recommend going here for an early or late lunch when it's less crowded. Summer evenings are chaos due to the ever increasing popularity of the place. read more

My fiancé and I were looking to have a "day-after-wedding" get together on their back patio in October of 2025. I inquired directly through their website. The only response I received back was "And if it rains." I thought that response came off passive aggressive. So, I responded with the same energy and replied, "You're the venue, you tell me." The response I received back was, "Ok. Let's pass." Since planning our wedding I've inquired, emailed, and/or met dozens of venues, restaurants, business' etc. I haven't experienced communication with a business that really didn't think about how their responses could impact the outcome of their practices. Realistically their responses costed them thousands of dollars in revenue where if they had a solution to rain they still could've had anywhere from 50-100 people there on a day where occupancy would be close to 0. Anyway, hopefully this was just a red flag that I'm glad I saw and avoided. Wouldn't recommend giving money to a business that clearly doesn't care about their customer service. read more

I came here for dinner and drinks and spent a good amount, but unfortunately left feeling disappointed with the service. After dinner, I ordered a cocktail at the bar and accidentally spilled it almost immediately- it was basically untouched. When I politely asked the bartender if they could remake it, they refused and said I would need to pay for a new one. I understand that spills aren't technically the bar's responsibility, but at most places I've been, staff are usually accommodating in situations like this, especially when the drink hasn't been consumed. Given how much I had already spent that evening, the lack of hospitality stood out and left a negative impression. On top of that, my mother ordered a nearly $20 glass of wine, and instead of pouring it fresh, the bartender pulled out a pre-poured glass that had clearly been sitting in the fridge for an unknown amount of time. For the price, this felt unacceptable and not what we would expect from a place of this caliber. The food itself was good, but the service at the bar overshadowed the rest of the night. read more

One of the best dining experiences we've had in the Riverhead, NY area.

It's rare these days that you have a great atmosphere, great service and good food. To me was reasonably priced. Totally recommend this place. I was there I 06.28.24 with my godson. We had mocktails. Their tuna that is a taco is to die for. I had my godson have a couple of pieces. We started off with artichokes and crab cakes. The crab cakes were that good that I bought 2 extra to take home. We shared the triple chocolate cake for my birthday. Whether you are a vegetarian, pescatarian or meat eater. They make food all taste buds and personal tastes. Check out their menu. The food is fresh. Showing photos of the after. LOL. The presentation of the food is magnificent!!! Service-impeccable. I called two weeks earlier because we were going to be in that area. A young lady on the phone was very nice and answered all my questions. When we got there someone who appeared to be either the owner or manager sat us down where I did not have to walk too much. I was with a cane and recovering from an injury to my leg. Everyone was attentive. Did not have to wait for refill of water. But was not rushed through the meal. We enjoyed sitting and eating. I was the one who paid cash and have a couple of cellphones on the table. Have a lot of businesses and my god son is in the film industry. We kind of like our privacy. But the name on the cards would have given us away. Hope that my injury recovers would like to sit near the lake and have a cheese platter and try different items in the menu. I already advised my friends and business people to go there. A lot of us have our boats close by in Greenport. I told them that Farm Country Kitchen is a new spot that I discovered. My following is better than the internet. You come home satisfied. Everything they make is freshly done. For me to drive 32 minutes out of my way and recommend a place. They have to be that good. They are that good. I don't go by my name on a review. Word of mouth to my friends. But am always honest to the my internet fans. Enjoy!!!! read more

After inadvertently passing this hidden gem, we contemplated turning around. Having never been here and being unfamiliar with the area: Upon turning around, we were next challenged with finding parking since the restaurant is nestled right by the Peconic Bay along Route 58 (West Main Street). Now, that we know exactly where it is, we'll be mindful to be looking for parking as we approach! We will definitely be back! As we entered, we were pleasantly greeted by the hostess. We were seated on the enclosed deck overseeing the Peconic Bay. Have to say it was still busy at 2:00 for lunch. We ordered from the lunch menu but the dinner menu was available to order from if we wanted to. Both menus offer many choices for everyone to find something of their liking. We each chose a different sandwich so we could both split each other's to get a taste of the equally delicious choices. I got the Sorrento Panini (sliced filet mignon normally served with Gorgonzola cheese but I swapped it for mozzarella) and my hubby got the Montauk sandwich. They were both balanced and each bite was equally delicious. Sort of a surf and turf version for us on this visit. :) Nice staff & service, great food, and welcoming ambiance combined with a beautiful backdrop that just adds to the vibe. On our way out, we asked for how long this wonderful little establishment has been around. We were told 20 years! Not sure how we've missed it, but now we know & we will be back!! Highly recommend you stop in, you'll be glad you did. read more

The atmosphere is wonderful and charming. 10 for atmosphere. The appetizers were very good: mussels and field salad. Delicious. Very happy. Entrees were so-so at best. Scallops special $47. Poor. Over cooked & tough. Disappointing. Got nowhere when letting them know. Seemed slightly put off by my complaint and left it on the bill with no offer of dessert/coffee as many places would given the circumstances. Chicken Stella - just ok. Nothing great. The experience was overall moderately disappointing. I can't see going back which is unfortunate as the atmosphere is wonderful and the wait staff very pleasant (until I told them the scallops were overcooked and tough). read more

I had heard so much about Farm Country Kitchen, and have been wanting to go for a number of years. We happen to be able to get a lunch reservation and I could see how FCK gets great reviews, especially on a beautiful day. The day we went was kind of cloudy, but you still got a feel for the property and it was lovely. The food was good but nothing spectacular. The service was fine... Again, nothing spectacular. I had the pasta dish and it was just OK. I've had better pasta dishes from my local Italian restaurant. Would I recommend this place? Probably but would I come back? Probably not, unless it was a nice day. With that said, if you can try to get here on a nice weather day, you won't be disappointed with the food or the ambience. And hopefully you'll come on a day when the service is slightly better. I would give FCK 3 1/2 stars, but since this is not an option, I will round up to four. read more

Stopped in for a light lunch and had a delightful experience. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and quickly showed me to a white linen-clad table with a gorgeous view of the Peconic River. I selected a salad from the menu that included grilled duck breast, strawberries, pineapple, baby, spinach, cherry tomatoes, carrots, almonds, and a light Asian dressing. Everything was fresh and very tasty. A very pleasing combination of flavors and textures. This was a great value! read more

Farm Country Kitchen - The Crescent Salad - American Near Me - Riverhead, New York

I had a terrible experience on 8/24/25 with owner of FarmCountryKitchen Li, Tom Carson. We ordered take-out, I had spinach cajon shrimp. when I bit into it it was almost completely raw and extremely fishy. I called Tom Carson who was extremely rude. He referred to me as hey LADY. he hung up on me twice. My girlfriend who is in the catering business called him and he hung up on her also. Yes, all he had to say was mistakes happen and refund my money and it would have been all ok. Instead he was extremely rude. I've never been treated so poorly I will post this wherever possible and tell people about this incident TOM CARSON you are a terrible businessman DO NOT EAT AT FARMCOUNTRY kitchen in Riverhead read more

It wasn't worth the hype. My salad was sub-par and my pasta was too runny for my liking. My server was nice but I'm not much of a fan.

Came here on a whim last year. We were driving past and saw this place. Surprising, because it's VERY easy to miss if you're not paying attention. Especially, at night. For some reason, I'm missing pictures of our entrees. To be fair, I will rate what I have pictured. I do plan to come back soon to try other things on the menu. Here's what we ordered: - the Classic Margarita: patron silver, FAIR kumquat, fresh lime juice, agave syrup, garnished with fresh lime and salt - mojito: rum, fresh lime, simple syrup, mint and soda - avocado flatbread: toasted with creamy spread of avocado, cilantro pesto, goat cheese crumbles, finished with tomatillo pesto with arugula salad - lemon raspberry cake I remember everything being so delicious. We ate it all up with not having to wrap anything up. (That's rare for me) I want to come back and sit in the back/outdoor area. The service was great, the people were nice and pretty knowledgeable. Can't wait to come back :) read more

Farm Country Kitchen - Riverhead, NY Beautiful from the outside, but that's where it ends. Tried one drink--sent it back. Tried another--couldn't even drink it. Then came the $12 bottle of Saratoga sparkling water. Ordered a steak well done, it came out rare. I didn't even bother sending it back--I just gave up. Didn't eat. No one cared. Oh, and the "scenic" riverfront? Full of bugs flying into your water. Still walked out with a $100 bill for a meal I couldn't enjoy. Skip it. read more

We came close to 7 on a Sunday and did not wait long to be seated. There is parking right in front and also if you drive a bit on first left there is parking. We definitely missed the place at first because it was dark and there isn't a sign that's lit up but if you see a lot of cars parked and like a silver trailer, then you are in the right place. The staff was really nice and our waitress was sweet. We got crab cake, baked mussels, BBQ shrimp, hanger steak and strip steak. We al shared and we all loved the food. It was really good. Definitely worth checking out, during the day you can see the water. read more

Honestly I've wanted to love this restaurant ever since we first saw the back of it...it's stunning views of the water with swans swimming by & tables all over the grass is just beautiful. That's the main reason for my 2 stars. But sadly everytime we've come here it's been so inconsistent!! Sometimes the food is good & more than often it's just not good & bland. Sometimes it's a huge portion sometimes it's like non existent on the plate. Basically there zero consistency. The servers are not very nice & I get they have a lot of tables in the summer but when we had a big 15 person day after wedding brunch our server didn't come up to the table for 25 minutes that's wild. Our drinks came out 30 minutes after that & the food I don't even remember at this point it came out so late. Half was wrong & half was just boring. & he wasn't nice about it either. No one blamed him obviously but don't give your customers attitude. The bartender was rude as well. Once again I get you're busy but don't give me a nasty attitude when I order 6 drinks & 1 water like it's the end of the world...it's literally your job & your tip & I'm a great tipper since I've bartended for over 10 years. So after 5 tries we won't be coming back. read more

Looking for a nice place on the water and outside. This place checked all the boxes. Parking is brutal so be patient and stalk. Luckily someone was leaving soon after we started looking so got a spot close. Checked in with the host and once our name was on the list we grabbed some cocktails and took a seat in the aderondeck chairs facing the water. While we were enjoying the view we were also checking out the tables and hoping we would get one of the two tops by the water. We did!! Probably the best table in the place for2. As for the food it was really good. So many things to choose from that sounded delicious. We started with New Orleans Scallops. Delicious and perfectly cooked. The guacamole and salsa on top was so good. Next I ordered the Hanger Steak. I was mainly looking to get the risotto but everything on this plate was awesome. Deb had the Crab Cake. This was amazing. I am not a big crab cake person but this was so good. Finally we finished with Peanut Butter Mousse. Incredible. Decadent. 5 stars is well deserved here great food, great service and great atmosphere. read more

I had not been here in a few years. They did a great job expanding the outside. They also have an additional new parking lot across the street. I ordered the Portofino sandwich. It was very good. The pasta salad that came with it was also delicious. I'm always a sucker for their Arnold Palmers. They are not too sweet and a perfect treat for a hot summer day. I hate to say this but the service wasn't great. We had to ask several people for our check as our waitress disappeared toward the end of our meal. I'm sure it was because of the holiday weekend so I'm not too concerned. Prices for the sandwiches were definitely fair. However, I was deterred from ordering a cocktail since they were priced at $17 each. I just couldn't justify that price. Other menu items were also very high priced. If you sit outside, beware of bees. They were pretty aggressive this time of year. Minus the bees, the ambiance here is great. The restaurant sits right by the water so you can see kayakers row by. It is also dog friendly outside. I saw several well-behaved dogs there this past weekend. read more

You will miss this restaurant if you aren't looking for it, but I definitely recommend looking for it. We were sat outside for a beautiful view. The heat lamps make fall dining outside possible. The fried artichokes were delicious. The Brussels sprouts with pancetta were spot on. All of our dishes were served steaming hot and were PERFECT for outside dining. The wine selection was ok - not great, but the food is completely worth it. Stop here! Worth it! PS - stopped in for a second dinner and it was just as delicious! Great service, great food, beautiful views! read more
