This place made me laugh. It looks like a fast food joint, but the menu repeatedly mentions the "farm fresh" ingredients and there are little cartoon images of lettuce decorating the establishment. Wow, healthy fast food, right? Wrong. C'mon, people, how stupid do they think people are? They serve enormous burgers and deep fried side dishes, among other things. Are there actually people on this planet who order up a double burger and a single order of fries (which could satisfy a small country) and think, "Yeaaah, baby, there's lettuce on this burger, and it's farm fresh so it must be healthy." As to the food, I hated the onion rings and found them to be slimy and disgusting. But the "Farmers Burger" (double meat patty, cheese, fake guacomole, bacon, lettuce (!!), tomato, and maybe more stuff) was really, really damn good. Huge, juicy, and delicious. So spare me the health food head-fake and grill me up another delicious heart attack on a plate. Just be yourself, that's what I always say. read more

My husband and I come to this farmer boys once a week, but not anymore. They get our order wrong EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I'm not sure why we kept going for so long. We order To-go sometimes, a few times they have forgotten to put our order in. We wait the 20 mins to go pick up food and when we arrive have to wait an additional 25 minutes for our food. The last time we waited that long, they still got the order wrong. They've never offered any kind of compensation, we had to ask for our money back the time it took over an hour. They never apologize or update us about our food. I work in food service and I'd much rather have them apologize and let me know what's going on. read more

My friend and I usually come here for lunch once a week. Typically, the food is great as well as the service. Today it was horrible! My friend ordered chili cheese fries (her usual order) and it was horrible. The chili was watered down and made the fries extremely soggy with absolutely no flavor. She took them back to the counter and let them know what was wrong with them, and they gave her plain fries in exchange for them. Most of the fries were undercooked and hard, and a few had a green tint! Not sure if they recently hired a new cook, but they really need to check their quality control. Usually we love this place, but today it was horrible. read more

Farmer Boys - Green tint to the fries. (WHY?!) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Riverside, California

Ho hum, that's always been my perception of this chain. They offer some advantages over the Monsanto - saturated McDonald's, but I am not certain they are free of fake and GMO products either. Why? I have a chronic inflammatory disease, so I am like a canary in a coal mine. If something is not right, or food is on the edge, my body will react negatively before anyone else. I have felt lousy more than once after a meal at some Farmer Boys location or another, which shouldn't imply food poisoning, rather, poisoning by stuff that should not be-- Be in our food, such as undisclosed chemicals, ingredients, preservatives and so on. My recent visit to this location occurred because at 6am no other breakfast spots downtown were open. I got the French Toast combination. My over-medium eggs came out over-hard. That sucks! I guess the cook should have paid more attention to my order, the only one they had at 6:10am, instead of talking? The toast was good, however. The tube wrapped syrup tasted fake and lousy though. The sausage patties were okay, better than McDonald's, less salty, spicy or fake-tasting. I am pleased to report that my guts survived this encounter, but I couldn't help but wonder if I should have kept driving by to go to Denny's or IHOP up the street? As you can tell, my first pick for semi-fastfood is not Farmer Boys, but they are consistent in their middle of the road food. read more

I had a job site inspection with a co worker across the street at the new fire station so this was convenient for lunch. Took advantage of the large free parking lot while we did our inspection. I went with the chicken club combo - wheat bun, chicken breast, bacon, onion straws, provolone cheese, lettuce & tomato, guacamole and ranch dressing, The sammie was tasty and the french fries were crispy and firm. Chased my fast food with fresh brewed ice tea. This Farmer Boys is very busy for lunch due to the location and service was solid. My only gripe I had was the the men's restroom was always occupied! I'd return here again and would recommend them for a quick fast food meal. read more

Alexander was very polite and welcoming. Great customer service. Would definitely come back to this location. Thanks Alex!

This is the WORST farmer boys EVER! I was waiting 20 min for for a kids chicken strips with fruits! There was no ahead of me I pulled right up and ordered however after I paid nothing fir 20 whole mins! I needed to knock on the window to see what was going on for 1 order of kids chicken strips! Still took another 5 min! Don't go here if unless you have an hour to spare! read more

I work on the road all the time and have to stop at public places to use the restroom. Some places require you to purchase. I understand that, but this place flat out refused me to use the restroom. I told the lady I would buy something on my way out and she said NO. IT S OUR POLICY! I had to go down the street to use one. She was very rude!! read more

Two stars because service was good, Cashier was super friendly and attentive. But the food was not great at all! On my husbands butter there was a hair, on my fruit there was two hairs and the fruit had a egg smell. This makes me question how clean and safe their kitchen staff is. I love the farmer boys on dtla but never coming back to this one. read more

Farmer Boys - Hair! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Riverside, California

As of today, this location is no longer a favorite. Purchased my usual, Farmer's Omelette with Pancake with side of hash brown. Found 2 pieces of hair in the hash browns and they were undercooked. The omelette was burnt. read more

Went through drive thru completely not busy at all ordered simple double big cheese combo w no pickles and 1 Cobb salad. Got home 20 minutes later to enjoy my food. Order was completely wrong and cold. I received a single big cheese with only pickles on it and the salad as my girlfriend was eating it found a hair in it. Called to complain asked for a full refund was told I have to physically come back to get my refund when I don't live close by. Normally I do not do this where I leave reviews but at some point these fast food places need to do better. read more

Big cheese was over cooked and cheese was not even melted. The meet was filled with gristle and fat. A single piece of lettuce was a little wilted read more

Fresh tasting food. Pretty consistent quality different visits. Only with the fried zucchini have noticed the most inconsistency. Today like most days, it was cooked to perfection. Outside was crisp, the inside was sufficiently tender, but retained just a touch of the vegetables crispness and flavor. Not over cooked & mushy. Quick, casual atmosphere. It is always clean, even the restroom. Cheerful, friendly staff. Each time they seemed attentive. I get my order as I customize it. Calories are clearly posted near most menu items. My 4 yo son prefers Farmer Boys scrambled eggs to what his parents cook. read more

Farmer Boys - Across from the downtown fire station. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Riverside, California

Here we are, on our Friday date night. Hungry and looking forward to enjoying a good meal and they're out of fries and ice. The girl assured us that the drinks would be cold enough but, excuse me, we like ice in our soft drinks and it's ridiculous that we had to ask for a refund rather than being expected to pay for hot drinks. An off night but we made the best of it and enjoyed the food anyway. read more

This farmers boys closed at 750 pm. On 9/13/2021 Noah employee was rude this place closes at 8 pm they closed early I'm regular customer at this store If. Says then u are supposed to close at 8 not 10 mins I will be calling corporate on them tomorrow read more

They took over 20 minutes to get my order to me in the drive thru for two breakfast sandwiches. Then I drive off check my order before leaving and only 1 sandwich was in there so I wait another 15 minutes for one to get made. The drive thru lady even looked at me as if I was lying. I was two seconds from tossing the bag at the drive thru window. Will never come back. read more

For a chain, some of the best taste, quality and local ingredients. Staff is always nice, prompt and accommodating. I wish we could get these to open a few locations in Texas! read more

Worst service ever, they gave a non paying customer free stuff (hot water for his cup of noodles, forks, napkins, BBQ sauce) while my order was getting cold on the counter, asked for napkins and got attitude. Rude cashier/manager. Will not be coming back. read more

Breakfast review only: This place is great! It's the perfect mix of fast food efficiency and prices, with diner food, atmosphere, and coffee refills in your coffee mug brought by a waitress. Dining companion, who was very familiar with the Farmer Boys set up, was a bit bewildered by all of the praise I heaped on this place, but as someone who eats at a lot of diners and had never heard of Farmer Boys, I still think it's genius. You order at the counter, from a brightly lit fast food style menu board, but your breakfast options are basically anything you could get at a diner: pancakes, french toast, hash browns, omelettes, egg and bacon combos, etc. You get your coffee mug - yup, a mug - and go sit down at a booth that has jams in plastic packets, ketchup, two hot sauces, creamer, etc - just like a diner. Server brings your food, and coffee refills. And it's cheap. Really cheap. Two of us ate far too much food for $14. When's the last time two people had exactly what they wanted to eat at Denny's for breakfast, for $14? The food itself was good, but not amazing. The eggs were fresh, as were the vegetables in the veggie omelet. The bacon and toast were both especially good and crispy. Hash browns were just ok. In fairness to the hash browns, however, they are listed on the menu, per state law, (thank you, Senator Padilla, for making us all feel badly about ourselves) at 327 calories. I think they'd be crispier and more delicious if they globbed on the usual 200 additional calories of oil. Bottom line: Great, cheap breakfast option with good food and excellent, friendly service. next time I'm in Riverside, I will definitely be back. read more

Service here is nothing but horrible food was ready and waited for a pickup for 20 mins just to be told they are out of something we ordered and having to wait another 20 minutes. You would think being so close to the FB Corp office this location would be better than it is. This isn't the first time this has happened either but I felt inclined this time to make a review. read more

We haven't been coming to this Farmer Boys because we had such bad service in the past...but thought we would try it again because soccer season is starting up and it's on the way to the fields. First person we saw was Matt. He took our order, got our coffee, made sure we were comfortable. He was very efficient in knowing the food combinations. And he served our food too ! We will be back !!! read more

Can you please share more on the organization of your packaging? "The food was placed in the bags where the hot food was with hot food and the cold foods, such as our salads were placed in a separate bag. Which is a great thing for me, since I don't like my salad to get warm from being placed with the hot foods." Please share any other feedback, comments, or concerns so that we can improve your visit next time! "I am particularly fond of the customer service that I receive from your staff by the names of Trek and Mariah. They are always very courtesy and go the extra mile in service for my family and I. They are in our opinion the greatest/best workers at this location. Excellence in ALL areas of customers service and the only reason that we continue to come to this Farmers Boys location." read more

My daughter brought me a chicken salad. It was horrible, the chicken was hard and burnt. I returned the salad only to be treated as though we stole the salad. I received another salad and this chicken can only be given to the dogs as a chew toy. How hard is it to cook chicken for a salad. I always eat Farmer Boys on Pierce and their chicken isn't burned or like jerky. read more

Farmer Boys - Hard jerky chicken - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Riverside, California

The staff was really friendly, prompt, and genuine in providing their opinion about the different entrees. The food is okay, but rather overpriced for what it is. For example, the fried zucchini was undercooked in the middle and did not have much texture or flavor and the cheese on my burger was not melted. The site has ample seating and the servers come up to your table to serve you, which I would expect by the prices. Perhaps, I ordered the wrong thing (Farmer Burger), but I would probably only visit if it was the only joint open or I wanted to get a breakfast at lunch time. Pros: -Really friendly staff and accommodating staff read more

Farmer Boys - Zucchini on deck - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Riverside, California

Had a lot of trouble on line ordering through Yelp. Apparently the order goes through grub hub but if you select pickup the store doesn't get the order. That was issue one. Then once the store people explained this the put my order in and it took 15 minutes for a salad and burger. All of the staff knew there was an issue but my order still took that long. The store is probably fine. Just don't order and pay through Yelp. read more

Worst fucken place always takes for ever never have food ready when u get to the window worst service

This is the worst Farmer Boys I've been too so far. The eggs taste rotten, which caused me to throw up as soon as I put them in my mouth. It was so discussing I threw the rest of my food away! I would've asked for a refund, but I didn't want to hassle anyone. Never coming back to this location again. read more

Absolutely the worst Farmer boys in the area. IF YOUR YELPING BEFORE YOU ORDER YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. Its ironic how this place looks like its next to Farmer boys HQ but is still understaffed, horrible customer service, & can never get a order right. I gave this place 3 chances and same experience. SAVE YOUR MONEY and EAT SOMEWHERE ELSE.... Actually do us all a favor and close this location down. read more

I'm sure this review will fall on deaf ears as all my other concerns I've brought up with management have. This review is from my visit on 10/20. I've been a customer for over 15 years and have given this place numerous chances but I'm done. I believe their food is really good but they've had a customer service problem for many years now and still haven't fixed it. After being hung up on while placing an phone order, I finally got my order in 9:32am. I was told 10-15 minutes. I fully understand that they make everything fresh and I appreciate that. Upon arrival of 9:45am, I went to the usual takeout register. Nope. Even if you place a phone order, you must wait in the line with the rest...I was told. So.... what's the point of even calling it in? After paying at 9:52am, I waited as other orders went out. No smiles, no thank yous for being patient...nada. After finally receiving my 2 breakfast burritos after 40 minutes (10:10), still no apology from the shift leader on duty. Listen... this is not a one time occurrence. You can expect this lack of friendliness and disregard all the time and at every store. I can forgive bad food... what I can't forgive us a consistent lack of care for the customer. You have seen this decline in service over the past 5 years. Great customer service will heal most bad experiences. At Farmer Boys, it is my impression that they just don't care. read more

My wife and I ate a leisurely late lunch on Saturday while participating in Pokemon Go's Community Day, and from our seats we could get 3 or four Pokestops! Plenty of fun that was supported by great food, which was Crispy, Hot, delicious and plentiful. Service, as always, was wonderful. Thank you, and keep the menu growing! read more

They served me RAW chicken tenders. Freaking RAW. I called to complain and it fell on deaf ears. I didn't even hear an apology. What I want to know is how they are still up and running? read more

This location is horrible , from customer service to food . Overall experience is horrible and I was definitely not a one off day ! Yvonne was so rude taking my order over the phone & after picking up my food items were missing . read more

Well the burgers are good, there is no excuse for the SLOW customer service at this particular location. Every once in a while, about once a year, I stop by to see if things have improved. So today, I thought I would give the call in order a try. What a mistake! Don't say "10 minutes " if you mean 25. Strangely this location comes up in a Yelp fast food search. If you have plenty of time on your hands, for a nice, leisurely meal, then give this location a try. read more

I come here often and my experience for the most part is good. Today after u finished my salad I notice the bowl was super dirty hope I don't get sick. It might be because the bowls are old. I did not expect this at this location specially because Corp office is next door. read more

This is a chain restaurant and this location trains teams for other locations. On the plus side is that they move a lot of food and can get your meal together quickly, however they sometimes forget to deliver it. On more than one occasion they have forgotten my order or its been really late. That said, it can be quick, its clean, they make up for their mistakes and I like the hot dogs. My meal of choice is their kids hot dog as a combo. You get everything, fries, dog, trimings and drink for under $5. Overall a good place to stop in for a bite. Parking is a bear. I usually go at 1PM and its not to bad, rear parking is available and if you wait a few minutes something clears up and its free! read more

this place is fucking garbage. food was cold and soggy. i asked the manager for salsa and he told me there is tapatio on the table and when i asked for a SIDE of salsa, a little half ass cup was tossed onto my basket with my burrito. horrible service, food, and the tables are sticky. not coming back. read more

I have gone to this location regularly as it is convenient to my work. I ordered a barbecue chicken salad and after going back to my office and pouring the containers into the salad, the barbecue sauce was rancid. After confirming with the location that all single use containers were filled daily I let them know that the barbecue sauce I received was rancid. I was curtly told that it was not possible because the containers were filled just that day. Most restaurants label their single use containers daily to ensure freshness, this location and all other Farmer Boy's locations do not. After contacting their corporate office I was assured that someone would get back to me to discuss the problem. It's been over a month and nobody has contacted me. If I could give them ZERO stars I would! read more

This is my favorite location to purchase from, Postmates messed up on their system and they got our order hot and ready due to this and gave my boyfriend and I waters cause of the heat! Amazing :) read more

I doubt I'll be back. I go here at least 3 times a week in the morning. I stopped by in the afternoon before work bc I had to use the restroom. Ready to buy food as well. I had to ask 3 times to 2 different people if I could use the restroom. After both people ignored me. I asked a 3rd time. She then finished her 45 second conversation then turned to me annoyed and said. "You need to buy something first". I used to work here!! This location used to be the pride and joy of farmers. What happened? That second shift girl manager needs to not only check her tone but her customer service too. Like how rude... i didn't buy anything and walked out. I didn't want to anymore after being ignored and looked down on bc I asked to use the restroom before I bought food? I understand people have bad days. But just. wow. First shit always takes care of me. Can't say the same for second shift. Kinda sad bc I used to love this location. read more

My wife and I came here and ordered food and realized that we didn't realize that the pastrami sandwich had mustard and the burger had bacon. Once we realized it we asked them to change the order. Frenando, the guy who took out order, was more than understanding and made us another meal. Efrain was the cook and made out new order with no question. We felt EXTREMELY bad for not paying attention. We came from out of town and would STRONGLY recommend this burger spot and these two workers. read more
