    Ordered a Huevos Rancheros skillet, added turkey sausage and added a bagel and cream cheese, no substitutes at all. Everything is an add-on. Also ordered a Greek salad with feta on the side, they would not allow me to get a turkey Reuben, because it's not on the menu as such, even though they offer a turkey avocado melt. $49.29 Guess I will only be eating a salad for lunch today then. We will have to go elsewhere then. They only allow you to order off the menu on the weekends as is, seems rather rigid. This is a first to be told that a place doesn't want my money for a turkey Rueben when the beef version is on the menu and they have turkey sandwiches as well. Odd that my hubby's plain black coffee comes in a styrofoam cup, my green tea is in the usual expected ceramic mug. My husband will wait for a ceramic cup. The extremely rude waitress brought out a ceramic mug, after I asked for a ceramic mug. She made us feel most unwelcome during our entire visit. The staff member that brought us our food and brought me the Greek dressing were much more pleasant and warm. They do charge you for using a credit card here, around 4%, of course they do. Seems kind of high for a CC charge. Huevos isn't bad. They only gave us three flour tortillas. My husband wanted one more, but this place is so cheap, so we figured they would charge us for that, since they don't allow for any substitutes of ingredients or charging just an up charge instead of charging for full price item sides. Got the Greek salad, but no dressing at all. Am I supposed to eat this thing dry? I had to ask another waitress for some dressing 7 minutes later, since our waitress had no clue she hadn't brought any dressing at all. The red onions look so old and are thick cut rings, tossed them on the side. The tomatoes aren't ripe. Salad core in the salad. At least they use Romaine, spinach and greens. Salad is not special, dressing tastes like ranch with some beet juice added to it. Green tea is meh, coffee too. I believe our waitress needs some retraining on her job, she's not so good at it. Our waitress never checked on us once after the order and bringing our coffee and tea. She couldn't be bothered it seems. Not a good experience today at all, made worse by our main waitress. Odd her name is Tootsie, would have thought she would be a tad nicer though. Huevos was decent. Greek is worth a pass. Try to get anyone else but Tootsie, unless you like being treated indifferently and invisible.

    Turkey Burger and fries
    Felisha T.

    I really enjoyed my breakfast here. The customer service was very top notch in what looked like an 'in town' industrial area. I later found out the area serves two purposes...1. a huge farmers market on Saturdays and 2. a big safe area for tailgaters for the sports teams. The servers and cooks were A1. It was quiet, but I'm sure on other days it probably gets a little loud. Overall, this reminded me of the 'greasy spoon' restaurants along the highways that have really good food. Except in this case the food was good and no greasy spoons anywhere, lol. I would definitely come back here for breakfast or even lunch (menu look yummy) if ever back in Detroit. Oh, I had a delicious and well seasoned turkey burger and crispy fries.

    Loved this place! Favorite breakfast spot if you're by the Eastern Market. May have a wait time but it's worth it. Would come again!

    So much colorful art everywhere!

    They were open on 4th of July! Food did take a little to come out but there was only one waitress working the grounds and one server. Plenty of parking outside. They have soo many beautiful big flower pots in the front! I like their paintings inside as well. We ordered the Corn Hash and Nutella Crepe with a side of fries. All were delicious!! The fries were no ordinary fries because they made them extra crispy!! Our server was friendly. We would return!

    Chicken Pita
    Monique M.

    Amazing per usual. I got the chicken pita and it was so good!!! It had so much flavor and was freshly made. It was crowded as usual, but I got carry out. I'd definitely return.

    Classic Breakfast
    Lauren W.

    Stopped here for breakfast today around 1030am, was pretty busy but got a table quickly. We ordered two breakfasts, one classic and one the farmer franks big breakfast. Our food took about 35 mins to come out which was surprising since it was just breakfast. I ordered my eggs over medium. They were well done, the yolks were cooked through completely. I asked for the potatoes to be well done and they seemed like they barely hit the grill. Seems like for a breakfast place they would be able to cook eggs to the right likeness. The toast was good and the sausage was also good, but it's deep fried which I haven't really seen before. Overall probably wouldn't come here again, can get a quicker and better breakfast from a local coney.

    Greek omelette, and philly omlet
    Christina D.

    When I walked in here I was kind of put of by price at first, but when the food arrived, it was worth it!! Highly recommend. I'll pay extra for quality.

    Veggie omelette, sausage links, coffee and water

    This is still a favorite stop for me when working in Detroit. The service is always great and I love the breakfast menu. They keep the place clean and welcoming.

    Service was amazing. Food was prepared in what felt like minutes. I have absolutely no complaints about this place. It's always worth a visit when you're in the Eastern Market area.

    Bustling diner in Detroit's Eastern Market. Delicious breakfast, friendly service. Waits can be long during peak times. Staff is friendly. Menu is huge with something for everyone.

    All the food we did not eat!

    We did not like the food not even the coffee. Would have done better and better taste from McDonald's and saved money. First time and last time. Place smelled like dirty mop water and the cheese in my omelette had a sour taste. Hungry jack boxed pancakes from home would be better. Coffee tastes just like water not even sugar and fake cream would make it better. I don't know how this place received 4 stars. I guess you would have to like hospital food. Maybe the ambiance which is nice the only good thing. And the lady waitress sucked must be new but not a good waitress. I could say more but we literally just gave away 50 bucks!

    Stopped into Farmer Frank's yesterday for brunch before shopping and it was my first time there. I got the Nutella french toast and I was amazed with the flavor of it all! One of the best french toasts I've ever had. The service was quick as well as the ticket time on the food. I was extremely impressed with my overall experience here and I can't wait to go back! :)

    We finally tried Farmer Franks- and we are happy we did! Located in Eastern Market, there is always a wait line out the door. We now know why. The portions are huge, the prices are low, and the food is delicious! There is plenty of cozy seating & the food is served up fast & with a smile. I opted for the Eggs Benedict Florentine, serve with a side of delicious ripe fresh fruit. I was amazed how perfect the dish was cooked. Probably the best I've ever had in a restaurant! He opted for the cinnamon roll pancakes. Amazing!! I couldn't keep my fork off his plate. We shared a side of potatoes. There were also cooked to perfection. All I can say is, "Wow!" Why did it take us so long to dine here? Already looking forward to the next visit. Hats off to Farmer Franks. You rocked my brunch!

The staff was very friendly and warm when greeting guests. Their personable nature made the visit that much more worth the walk in the heat. Since the place was pretty busy we took bar stools to avoid waiting for a table and it was a good view of the smaller kitchen area. I was pleasantly surprised at the efficiency we saw from the busy crowd and the food not taking 10 years. The food was tasty. I truly enjoyed my Korean spicy fries. Spicy in name not truly spicy to cause a burn if that makes sense. I was craving a traditional breakfast plate but the staff and my friends who are local insisted that I needed to try the Korean fries so I did both. Was it greedy of me? Absolutely. Did I care? No. The locally sourced sausage was also very tasty. I must try to find it to cook at home. My friends ordered their regular go-to meals so it was great according to them. The burger and the duck hash. I think I'll go back and try the duck hash next time for sure. And another thing, there's a particular parking garage they validate a couple hours for. So parking is not an issue in this downtown office building.

I was searching for a Restaurant that Truly supports a GF person So many say they are yet ( pre read their menus and nada) This was a test visit for guests that ARE ABSOLUTELY GF.

We were a bit late yet our table was waiting for Us... This is a cozy scratch kitchen restaurant with a Greenwich Village vibe. Table seating for 16 bar seating for 3 Yet it didn't feel crowded. We were asked if it was our 1st time? Yes. Menu was fully explained and even b4 I could ask I was told what was always prepared GF and for other dishes what could be substituted...I purposely chose the GF waffles. May I say AWESOME.

I need not have worried; there was parking closer by. Oh well. The restaurant is tiny. And it maximizes the space by lining its walls with colorful bottles of wine, chic and cher containers of olive oil, and pots of artisanal honey hiding here and there. My friend pointed out the breathtakingly beautiful bouquet of dried flowers hanging over our table. I should have taken a photo when I had the chance. I started with the spiced brown sugar latte, made with oat milk. Delicious and sweeter than I thought. Even though the menu is small and curated, I could not decide between the nosh plate, the biscuit brekkie, or the quiche, which was the special of the day. So I ended up with the quiche but added the biscuit and bacon - I did not want to miss out. The crust of the quiche was fine, but the custard-like filling was divine, more like a savory crème brûlée or flan. Service was quick and efficient. Our reservation was made for one of the predefined 90-minute blocks, so the staff was on top of getting and delivering our meals and bussing tables as soon as they emptied to make room for the next group of guests.

I normally do not like breakfast burritos since I find them really dry, but the eggs were moist and tender and ditto for the tortilla. I had the sausage, and it was diced and mixed in with the other ingredients, but it was more of a processed sausage (maybe chicken?) with a bouncy texture. Western Potatoes: This dish has diced red skin potatoes with thinly shredded cooked red onions and bell peppers. It has a coating of spice on it which made the ketchup unnecessary as it was already so flavorful. The inside was fluffy, but the outside had no crisp and was slightly oily. I know part of it was due to the fact that it was delivered, but I wasn't a fan still.  Veg Life Quiche: This was a good quiche. The egg were tender with the addition of buttermilk, and it was teeming with spinach, tomato, onion and topped with cheddar cheese. The crust was a standard crust.  This is a solid option for catering if you want to have a more unique place than the standard chain restaurants. I liked how everything was almost all pre portioned out too.
