    The food was delicious!!! Oatmeal that hot the spot south fried cherries and brown sugar. A shrimp BLT- triple decker on sour dough, [[HIGHLIGHT]]soul music playing loud enough to enjoy but not blaring.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Grilled cheese and tomato soup.

    Wifey always likes having the grilled cheese and tomato soup. This time she added bacon and still really enjoyed it.

    Chill seating vibe

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Was nice and quiet on a Wednesday morning at 7:30 am.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    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.

    Super greens salad with chicken.
    Natalie M.

    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.

    Guava Mimosa, Cobb Salad with Fried Chicken
    Annie L.

    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.

    Fried shrimp and fries basket
    Kenny D.

    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.

    French Fries
    Melanie H.

    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

    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.

    Chicken sandwich with tots
    Theresa C.

    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.

    Fried chicken basket
    Steve S.

    Decent menu. Friendly service. Smaller portions but well seasoned and better than a lot of the other sports bar type airport offerings.

    All the tables were dirty and no one cared to clean them off. We had to move the dirty plates and wipe the table ourselves.
    Mitch B.

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

    Cobb salad, add fried chicken
    Corinne C.

    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.

Both were just so tasty and seasoned just right. They gave us a habanero based hot sauce to go with the chicken, but the chicken was so juicy and crispy on the outside and just so flavorful that it didn't need anything extra to make it better. We devoured every single one of our dish. We loved it so much, we're already thinking of making a special trip to Portrero Hill just to eat another meal here.

As someone who has works in the restaurant industry, I understand firsthand how challenging this business can be, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for the people who work hard to make a dining experience memorable. That's why I don't say this lightly when I say that our food experience tonight was extremely disappointing. We ordered the pork chop, which was okay, but the cabbage side was honestly hard to eat. I'm not sure if it was intended to be slaw or steamed cabbage, but it was essentially wet cabbage with very little flavor. The potatoes were decent, although the portion was quite small and they had a texture that tasted almost like boxed mashed potatoes. The biscuits were extremely dry and hard, and unfortunately, the butter served alongside them wasn't very good either. The spinach that came with the special was, without exaggeration, one of the worst parts of the meal. It had a very unpleasant taste that made us question whether something was off with it. There really wasn't another way to describe it. For a $44 plate, I expect the steak to be cooked properly, the sides to be flavorful and thoughtfully prepared, and the entire dish to feel worth the price. We also ordered a peach soda that was $10, which already feels very expensive for a soft drink. What was even more surprising was finding out that refills were not complimentary. That's something I feel should be clearly communicated when ordering. This is supposed to be soul food, a style of cooking known for bold, comforting, flavorful food. Unfortunately, our meal just didn't deliver that. Everyone at our table left feeling unsatisfied. We spent $163 for three entrées, three drinks, and two orders of biscuits. When you spend that kind of money and the food is exceptional, you leave feeling like it was money well spent. When the experience falls this far short, it's understandably frustrating and leaves you questioning the value. I do want to give credit where it's due: our server was wonderful. We had absolutely no complaints about the service. He was attentive, pleasant, and did her job well. I genuinely hope this feedback is received in the spirit it's intended. I know how difficult the restaurant business is, and I'm not looking to tear anyone down. I simply believe that when a meal costs this much, the quality, flavor, portions, and overall execution should reflect the price.
