Farmerbrown is located at SFO across from Gate C5. You order at the back and then they bring your food and drinks to your table. The food comes out quickly, and so it's great option if you're hungry for a real meal but don't have too much time before your flight. The fried chicken comes with 2 pieces of boneless thigh, fries, and 2 dipping sauces of your choice. It was fried perfectly crisp and sizzling hot--super delish! The totchos were also really good, basically nachos with tater tots instead of tortilla chips. The totchos are definitely enough to eat as a meal by itself. The meal really hit the spot and ended up being the perfect meal with a couple glasses of draft beer. Farmerbrown is a great option to grab a few drinks and a quick and delicious meal, especially if your gate is nearby!
I really wanted this place to be decent as I like supporting businesses with a good story. BUT, let me tell you, what a disappointment. My expectations are very low at airport restaurants, but this took that to a new low. Prices are outrageous, even for SFO. $14+ for a 16oz beer. The food was extremely disappointing. The fried chicken sandwich tasted like old fried fish, obviously a sign they don't change their fryer oil often enough. The chicken was dry and overcooked. No sauce on it. Fries were as generic as you get. Kicker, $22.75 for a lame sandwich. Server was nice enough, no complaints. Space feels very blah, like any chain restaurant. Like they hired some threefidy company to design the space. Overall, if you want to pay $60 for a beer and what tastes like a store bought Safeway sandwich, this is your place!
The food was delicious!!! Oatmeal that hot the spot south fried cherries and brown sugar. A shrimp BLT- triple decker on sour dough, soul music playing loud enough to enjoy but not blaring. Located next to gate C6. The wait staff is polite, acknowledge you presence immediately and service is pretty fast!! It's the airport so it's price, but tasty Only draw back- they don't have all the fixings- tea no honey, no brown sugar or lemon at the condiment bar and no honey at all.
I found myself at SFO with a delay on my flight home so I thought I'd find somewhere I could sit down with my laptop to work and get a decent meal in me since it would likely be a long day of travel ahead. In the area of the airport I was in there wasn't a ton to choose from, but I saw a chicken sandwich on the menu here and figured that sounded pretty solid so I made my way over. When you enter Farmerbrown you will find a little line where you order and then seat yourself. They will bring the food out to you. I ordered my chicken sandwich and fries which was exorbitantly expensive, but I expected that since it is the airport and for whatever reason all airports everywhere decide to super inflate their pricing. All of that aside, I found a table, got myself some water, logged into work, and waited for my sandwich. Now the reason why I'm giving two stars is because this sandwich was such a let down. First of all it was expensive, second of all it looked great when I got it, but it lacked really any flavor, and for a sit down place at an airport I was really hoping for something better than what I'd get at say, Popeyes or Chick Fil A. This was not even as good as what I would have gotten at a fast food spot. Overall I'd recommend you save your money, and seek out a to-go deli sandwich, or go to some fast food joint nearby, unless you are looking for a place to have a drink or really need a table.
Was nice and quiet on a Wednesday morning at 7:30 am. Ordered at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Food arrived quick and hot. I will say it's a lot of food and I think my husband and I could have shared my eggs and bacon breakfast and been fine. If we come through this way again we will definitely do that in the future. But a solid breakfast for eating at the airport. SFO doing it right, this is a bit of a walk from other gates C in Harvey Milk-Terminal 1 but worth it.
Was disappointed with the salads here. The chicken was plentiful but the actual greens part lacked the other ingredients like edamame, sunflower seeds and cranberries. How is this 17$ plus $6 or $8 for chicken or shrimp. So pricey for what you get! They should add more carrots and toppings. Deeply disappointed. Would not recommend. Staff are so friendly. Just disappointed that the food isn't that great.
Nice place for when you get to the airport a little too early and want to sit down somewhere to eat and pass the time. I came on a Wednesday afternoon at around 11:15 am, and my flight wasn't until 1:45 pm. Normally, I'd just grab a coffee and small snack but I figured I had the time so I popped in. The line was decently long and the restaurant itself seemed bustling but there was still a good amount of ample seating available. I ordered a Cobb Salad ($17.95) with Fried Chicken ($6.00) and a Guava Mimosa ($12.50). The fried chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and lightly sweet and peppery. I was surprised by how ripe the avocado was too. They also gave a lot of bacon bits, egg, and blue cheese bits. I felt like there could've given a bit more ranch though. The guava mimosa is nothing exceptional, not to say it wasn't delightful, but just your typical mimosa. Not cheap, but the service was really quick and everything was pretty tasty and filling for airport food.
Since I had some time before my flight, I decided to grab a quick dinner at Farmerbrown. You order at the counter, and are given a number to take to a table. Jambalaya (4/5) - hearty jambalaya with lots of sausage and chicken Super greens salad with grilled chicken (3/5) - typical greens salad with a huge grilled chicken breast French fries (5/5) - perfect thicker French fries
While waiting at the airport I tried this place .The service was underwhelming and not overly friendly, but the food was very good. I had the fried shrimp and fries basket and I immensely enjoyed both. The included hot sauce and cocktail sauce dipping options added to the delicious flavor. I liked the fries too; the cook did a masterful job with the menu. I washed it all down with an orange beer on tap and it would have made Blue Moon quite proud. If I'm back in SFO this is a place worth revisiting.
I haven't had this type of food at the airport, it actually caught me off guard and I have to admit that it's actually pretty good. We stopped at this place on our way to the gate a 8 in the morning. I had their famous burger while my wife and kids had the breakfast plate and the Nutella waffles. It was a bit confusing at first but you have to find a seat first and scan the barcode for the menu. Once you know what you want, you will need to walk to the front next to the bar to put in an order. We were amazed by how fast we got our food, took less than 5 minutes. Don't ask me how they did it but as long as it tasted good, I wasn't complaining..lol their service was good considering it's a semi self service restaurant. The restaurant is very clean and ambiance is great.
We got a fried chicken sandwich and fried chicken plate. With the chicken sandwich it was dry, which was surprising with the amount of coleslaw in the sandwich itself. The coleslaw was dry, just veggies. They give a hearty portion of tater tots. No sauce. The chicken plate they provided two sauces, I red spicy one, and a jalapeño sauce with plenty of flavor and kick.
Decent menu. Friendly service. Smaller portions but well seasoned and better than a lot of the other sports bar type airport offerings.

Came here in between flights. Checked out the menu and immediately was drawn to the chicken and waffles. If you look at my picture of the menu you see they advertised 3 wings. You'd think they would be whole wings, right? Why would they give me 3 parts of a wing? (cries). See photos. 3 little party wings. I was so disappointed when I opened the box that all I could do was laugh to keep myself from crashing out. This was completely FALSE ADVERTISEMENT! I've never been to a place serving chicken wings and waffles and it not be the whole chicken wing. They should rewrite the menu and state 3 party wings because what's displayed is misleading. I give 2 stars because the service was good and even though I feel cheated, the party wings were good. I definitely see how they have low stars though. read more

Solid place for pre-flight grub! Came by on a Friday afternoon and enjoyed a late lunch of a Cobb salad, add fried chicken. The chicken was delicious - hot, juicy, craggy crunchy and well seasoned. Good amount of egg, avocado, and bacon. I wish there dressing had an option or default for blue cheese instead of ranch though. Ranch doesn't taste quite right on a Cobb! I did appreciate that the food runner proactively offered me an extra ramekin of ranch because one is just a bit short for the entire salad. Added some tapatio on the chicken and it was a great lunch. read more

Must bus the table before seating. I guess the utility called out today. Wishing there were other places to dine in the terminal. C gates. read more

The skin was super crispy, like, it made this awesome crunching sound when you bite into it. And the meat inside was so tender and juicy--it was just amazing. But the fries were just okay, nothing special, but not bad either. read more

Pulled Pork sandwich was moist, flavorful and excellent. Only disappointment was that they don't offer white meat fried chicken as a menu alternative. You can only get a chicken breast with the grilled chicken sandwiches. read more

The best thing about this place was the guests. The staff were not very welcoming and the vegan dish I got was ok but wouldn't recommend or get it again. The ambiance and interior was nice and lovely but wish the staff and food was a reflection I would give it another shot but not the same dish read more
5 star rating for an airport restaurant? Yes, because I like to keep things contextually appropriate (and I can really only speck to my own biased experience). Was this the best lunch of my life? NOPE. Did I survive my flight delay? YUP. Your ordering options are: 1) order in advance if you want/need a table or food to-go, OR 2) sit at the bar and order as you go (keep in mind the ebbs and flow of airport needs -- bunch of people in line? Wait. No one around? Make polite ...yet aggressive... eye contact until someone stops). I like to live dangerously, so I sat at the bar. I came here on a holiday weekend with multiple flight delays and still found all staff to be attentive, polite, and understanding. They let me modify a cocktail (cucumber gimlet not pictured because I desperately needed it ...and forgot); they brought my food with surprising speed; and they provided appropriate pours within the confines of airport surcharges. I would also like to give a special shout-out to the multiple staff I saw not react at alllllll when various patrons expressed their grief/outrage at them not serving breakfast past 11am. All things considered: if you're flying out of terminal 2, head towards gate C and stop here for perfectly adequate food, drink, and service. read more

Amazing fried chicken! Jason C delivered amazing service for our group of 8! Fried chicken sandwich, fried chicken Caesar salad and tomato bisque soup! Loved it all! read more
We needed breakfast/brunch before our flight home. We stopped in here. We were very happy with this. Not a ton of selection at our terminal area. But the food here was great! The only thing that sucked was the price. But it is in an airport. They kinda have you. All our food was good. My wife got the breakfast platter. I got the chicken box. It had 3 chicken tenders. They were super tasty. Just not much for the price. Service was good. Especially with the long line initially. Food came out quick and hot. Not a bad stop if you are hungry at SFO. read more
We had breakfast here before heading home. I had the Big Skillet Breakfast Sandwich, which included scrambled eggs, bacon (my choice), cheddar and lemon aioli with cajun breakfast potatoes and fruit. I thought it was top notch for breakfast food. When it was brought to the table I thought, "I'll skip the bun", but I tried it and found it to be delightfully soft and in no way overpowering. It complimented the sandwich rather than taking away from it. Mark had the Farmer's Plate, which was essentially the same thing with cornbread and honey butter instead of a bun. He enjoyed it. Was it ridiculously expensive? Of course, it's airport food. But there was nothing about the meal that made me regret eating here. In fact, it was very pleasant. It's really the only sit down option in Gate C, but if there's time for breakfast, I'm glad it's here. read more
Food (4/5) We ordered the Farmer's Plate with bacon (4/5) and French Toast (5/5) to share. The Farmer's Plate was fine, as the eggs were delicious, bacon was good, and roasted potatoes were crispy. The only issue was that the honey butter cornbread was very very dry and crumbly. Unfortunately even the butter could not salvage it. Meanwhile the French Toast was maybe one of the best I've ever had. The tanginess of the sourdough bread was a delicious contrast to the sweetness of the outside. I would come back just for this. Price (4/5) As expected, airport food is on the pricier side. Our entrees were ~$18 for the Farmer's Plate, with an additional $3 for meat, and ~$12 for the French Toast. Wait Time (4/5) Our flight was delayed for a couple hours. We came on a weekday morning around 9-10am and there was no wait, with about 50% occupancy. The food took a little longer than expected to arrive, but both plates came at the same time. Ambience (5/5) Nice interior, plenty of seating. There's bar seating, table seating, and booth-ish seating on the far end of the restaurant. There are utensils, napkins, and condiments (salt, pepper, "Farmer Brown Ketchup") at each table. Water can be found by the payment area. Service (5/5) No concerns, the cashier was friendly. Parking/Access (5/5) Pretty easy to find, in Terminal 1 C Gates area towards the end. read more

The sides are bigger than the main. Looks like I just paid $30 for fries and watered down coleslaw with a SIDE of 6 shrimp. Music is also a little too loud read more
Quick counter service for me. Beer was deliciously cold and loved that the rotating handle was Pliny! Burger was more medium than medium rare but still tasty. Fries were crunchy and delicious. Overall, my experience was pretty good. Might be a timing or cost expectation issue given some of the lower review. $40 for a burger, fries and a beer is steep but it is SF and an airport. Squeeze a little harder! read more
Wow. Only 2.5 stars.... Well, I have a different opinion. Okay, so I ate here on a Sunday at 8 am. It was quiet and staff was very friendly. I ordered and my food was out in 5 mins. It was DELICIOUS! I had the steel oats and fruit and a side of the chicken apple sausage. I should add, I watched this lady ordered, and within 2 mins of sitting down, her food was out. Ugh, best breakfast especially after a 10 hour delay flight. Happy Yelping! read more
