    Stopped buy for first time and got a burger and fries. Burger was thick and delicious. Fries were cooked very good also. I went through the drive through but they have a very spacious dining area as wel

    So good..

    Was out in Modesto on a work trip when I realized there was a farmer boys in my area. I'm used to only seeing these and southern California so I was excited. I had it on over there and ordered what I always order which is the barbecue ranch chicken salad sub the grilled chicken for fried chicken and it's perfect every single time. Literally the best "fast food" salad you can find in my opinion. As far as service goes, I was greeted right away. My order was taken right away. The person who took my order was friendly and accurate. I waited almost no time at all for my salad to come out and it was just as good as ever. This particular establishment was very clean, friendly and inviting. Anytime I'm in Modesto. I will be making sure I stop by this farmer boys to get a barbecue ranch chicken salad.

    French toast meal- breakfast for lunch in the best especially here. Toast fluffy, ham tasty, eggs cooked just right .

    Described as a healthy fast food place I was surprised how tasty it was and priced extremely well. Portions are huge . Staff friendly and fast. 100% recommend this place if you want an alternative to traditional fast food .

    Farmer Boys offers a solid fast food experience. There was no wait, and the large indoor seating area made for a comfortable dining experience. The menu has a wide variety of options, so there's something for almost everyone. My meal was tasty, but nothing so remarkable that I'd go out of my way to return. The customer service was just okay--nothing to write home about, but it didn't detract from the overall experience. Overall, if you're in the area and need a quick bite, Farmer Boys fits the bill, but it may not be somewhere I'd specifically plan to revisit.

    Man, wut can I say other than FB is consistent no matter the location. Consistently good that is. The hamburgers be hamburgerin forreal. And the fries drowned in ketchup go together like Martin & Gina. The employees at this location were amazingly sweet. So yea nuthin but high praises from me. Five starz Now check out the pics. That's it that's all.

    Fruit!

    So I ordered through doordash, I had eaten here before but tonight's was really good. I ordered the three egg breakfast and the portions were huge! You can't beat the price even at old school diners! And the side of fruit is why I am leaving the review!! Fresh sweet and good variety and plenty of it! My daughter had fish and chips and was happy with it. My son had a sandwich with chicken bacon and avacado! He loved it! Very pleased with our doordashed dinner.

My party was seated fairly quickly. Our waitress took all our orders by memory - we were a party of 8! I got the Chicken Marsala: Chicken, sauce, mixed veggies, mashed potatoes, and gravy. I started off with the mixed veggies - they were cooked soft, just how I like them. They were also flavorful! Not just regular ole steamed frozen veggies, they definitely were buttered and seasoned or something. Next, the mashed potatoes. I'm not a mashed potato connoisseur - matter of fact, I usually skip eating mashed potatoes when they're available. These mashed potatoes however were so flavorful! And it was not only the gravy doing all the talking, it was both the mash and the gravy. I was impressed! Lastly, the chicken Marsala. The chicken itself was cooked to perfection, moist on the inside & fully cooked - and with chicken breast, we all know how hard that is to accomplish. The sauce was incredible. I have never had any Marsala sauce as good as that. So much flavor, very savory. Altogether, the flavors worked together and worked perfectly. If only I wasn't an hour away, I would come here more often. I hope to be here again someday!

Unfortunately the bread was not edible due to the taste of old grease. I simply discarded the bread and ate the 2 piece of turkey and bits of bacon. My son enjoyed the Tri-itip, but again the grilled bread tasted of old grease. He enjoyed the fries as well. The service was good and the atmosphere was pleasant, but at these prices, and the taste of old grease from the grill, I could not recommend this restaurant. The bill was $39.97 and we did not have anything to drink! Go democrats! Lol!

I checked out the menu online beforehand so I'd know exactly what I wanted. Their website is colorful, vibrant, and super easy to read. When I arrived, I was greeted right away with a smile by the female behind the counter. I built my own chicken bowl with the Swole protein portion, brown rice, five different fresh veggies, and added avocado (worth the extra $2.00). I also ordered the Chocolate PB Crush protein shake. They were busy with in-store customers, DoorDash, and online orders, but my food was ready in about 10 minutes. When I got my bowl, I couldn't believe how big it was. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the shake was absolutely to die for. Even my two-year-old loved it - and he's a very picky eater. As an amateur bodybuilder who usually preps all of her own meals, it was such a relief to walk into a place and get a clean, macro-friendly meal without having to cook or bring my own food for the night. This place completely saved me. The environment was great, the bathrooms were clean, and the overall experience was excellent. This will always be a stop for me when I'm in town. Plus, I just found out there's a Turlock location, which is even closer to me in Los Banos - so that's a huge win. Highly recommend!

It was a good portion of char grilled chicken breast along with white toast and their peanut sauce and cucumber relish. 5 stars Pad Thai with beef- presentation was good. The taste was fine but something about it, didn't make me overwhelmingly eat a lot of it. My wife liked it so I'll give it 4 stars. Pineapple fried rice with chicken- good portion size (we had leftovers). Has a sweetness to it but was expected. 4 stars BBQ Pork - another good portion size that was on a bed of lettuce and served with sticky rice in a foil along with some hot chili sauce. This was my fav because of the char grilled taste and spiciness. 5 stars Wife got a cup of Tom Yum soup with prawns. She liked it with its sour taste to it. 5 stars For dessert, they ran out of the fried banana so tried their sticky rice with vanilla ice cream (Thaibury Khao Tum Mut- Very tasty with coconut milk tasting sticky rice.

They offer a large variety of proteins and toppings in their poke bowls as well as hot appetizers like gyoza, rangoons, egg rolls, and tempura. I typically order a Large Bowl with five toppings to split with my mom. We get the creamy shrimp, spicy scallops, octopus, and double salmon. The bowls are absolutely huge. I'd say the bowls are about three inches deep, and it's not just rice filling them! They are very generous with their toppings and don't shy away from loading them up with the seaweed salad and imitation crab too. They offer a bunch of sauces and mayo dressings that add a bunch of flavor. I also really enjoy their Kani Salad! It is a large portion that packs a lot of flavor. I always order ahead and the mean is finished before I arrive! I would say though that they are not the most consistent. Sometimes the octopus pieces are super hard and it grosses me out. One time they put ahi tuna in my bowl instead of the salmon. A few times they didn't include the sauce topping on my bowls. The interior of the restaurant is not the cleanest. There were some areas, especially around the drink fountain that look like the haven't been deep cleaned for a while.

They were just good people who enjoyed what they did and that was awesome.

I appreciated the theme of the movie posters on the wall. That was clever. The food on the other hand was just ok. The fries lacked flavor on their own and could use salt or something. If it wasn't for the garlic on the one fries and whatever it was my wife had on hers those fries would have had no flavor at all. The wrap could have used more dressing, otherwise it was really bland. I had the burger with the egg on it. I forget the name. It had the same problem. Just a lack of flavor. The egg was overcooked. It would have been better if it was sunny side up so the yolk could run. I think it had bacon on it and cheese but I didn't taste either of those. The entire burger was just unremarkable sadly. Would I eat here again? Probably not. If I want a good place to go hang out with friends who work then sure. The staff was great. I just wish the food measures up to how cool they were.
