The downtown Farmer's Basket is located in The Hub food court area of Peachtree Center (near the entrance by the Marta rail station). It's cafeteria style, so you choose your meats, then vegetables, then breads and dessert. Service is always friendly and they're typically quick to offer samples. The meats skew toward southern staples like fried chicken fingers and bourbon chicken (which has a sweet 'n sour chicken vibe). Vegetables are a mix of southern (think buttered corn and fried okra) and Chinese options like lo mein noodles or fried rice. The mac ' cheese is notably good. For a side you can add an egg roll or cornbread muffin (go for the latter). Overall quality and taste is good if not great; remember you're in a food court, not mamaw's house. Portions are generous and this is the rare spot you can get really full on a veggie plate (if you accept their menu's generous definition of a vegetable!). I've worked downtown many years and have enjoyed them as an occasional option so I can recommend that you check them out. read more

Farmers Basket - Location in The Hub - Comfort Food Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

The Hub provides a vast array of entree options. I wanted a almost soul food healthy options and the farmers basket service was fast and appealing. The ambiance is a good court but the price of a meat and two side selection was with in my price range. I had the honey chicken which was breaded chicken bites. I should have gotten something with less bread and more meat. The spring roll was good and I got okra which was good. read more

Love this place! I was recently introduced to it and I've had it three times since. The rice is great. Very fresh. Customer service is great. And the portions is worth the money. The average lunch plate is about $10-$12 . It seems clean, they have alot of options. It's a very popular and busy food spot in the hub! read more

The orange chicken was decent but that Mac and cheese was mushy. The turnip greens were from the can and the chicken and peppers were decent. The portions are generous. There not much seasoning on the food. It's aight. Period. read more

Farmers Basket - a variety of food in a styrofoam container - Comfort Food Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

It was basically like a cross between a cheap cafeteria style Chinese place and southern fare. They did neither one right, which is why I usually avoid places that mix different cuisines. The fried plantain was undercooked. The chicken was flavorless. The shrimp was fine, but no flavor. The rice was flavorless. The cost was not low for what you received. No reason to come back. It was lunch so the good places in the Hub had huge lines, and no one was here. Now I know why. read more

I would never in my life eat here again. Yesterday at the mall the young lady was giving out samples of chicken and shrimp and decided to taste some . They weren't bad and wanted something new so had the lo mein noddles . I'm am currently fighting for my strength because now I have food poisoning. I've been stuck in the bathroom with from vomiting and diarrhea all day. I have family from overseas in town visiting and I can't take them anywhere cause I'm in the worst condition. Don't eat this! read more

So, I door dashed this food, trying it for the first time, looking for some good southern food .... And this is NOT it! The food is disgusting! No seasoning whatsoever. Collard greens taste like steamed mush. Black eyed peas are just plain and slimy. No seasoning in the chicken. Chicken fingers taste like they've been frozen. Mac and cheese is watery. Carrot cake frosting is gross. The charbroiled chicken is actually pretty good as is the bbq sauce. But that's it. Corn Brad muffin is alright but dry. Avoid this place if you're looking for tasty food. read more

I don't frequent Farmers Basket that much, but when I do I always get the same thing. The Honey Chicken bites (deep fried sweet buttery goodness) , macaroni and cheese, and mash potatoes and gravy... In that order. All the food looks good. I go as soon as they put out lunch. The Honey Chicken bites will change your life. read more

I used to like this restaurant, I'd even eaten at a few different locations...until this week. Check out my pics, they explain it all. I'm going to show the manager these pictures on Monday, I wonder what they'll say. Wish I would have noticed this while I was there eating in the food court, unfortunately I didn't realize it until I got home and was about to eat the rest for dinner. What a spoiled dinner! I really hope I don't get sick. Will never eat here again!!! read more

Farmers Basket - WTF??? - Comfort Food Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

See all

Farmer's Basket is a chain restaurant, it is located in the Peachtree Center Mall directly across from Chick-fil-a. It has become my new alternative for lunch. I get the sauteed chicken, which is chicken that is breaded and fried, and covered in a sweet sauce. Give it a taste, it's good! I generally go with the mac-and-cheese (nothing special) and corn for my sides, and grab a cornbread. Interestingly, everyone that comes here seems to have a different favorite. While I like the sauteed chicken, the others around me ordered meatloaf (really?), bourbon chicken, and fried chicken. They also had good southern sides, including mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes (sweet? can't remember), collard greens, fried okra, etc. Makes you feel like you just stepped into a home-cooked meal at someone's mother's place. Service has always been great. They are quick and they look you in the eye when they speak to you. They're always very friendly. The prices are a little high, but I'm okay with that since the quality is actually fairly good. The food always seems fresh and doesn't have that sitting-under-a-warmer-for-3-hours taste. Eating here makes you feel like you brought in really yummy leftovers from home. It doesn't taste like fast food, and you won't be fleeing to the restroom later in the day. It's definitely worth a try. read more

They won't give you water, even if you buy a $13 lunch!!! I asked for tap water but they said they can only give bottled water. They have ice and a tap on their soda machine. It is a scheme to swindle you out of $2. read more

Food is disgusting and hair all in the chicken- very thick hair. Tried to call but they are closed now- it was an order from Grub Hub- NEVER AGAIN!! read more

I went there thinking southern food, since that is what it's advertised as. Upon arrival, I was a little bit confused. It reminded me of an Asian food court place more than southern. A lot of chicken choices. Upon looking a little closer, there were also some shrimp and fish choices. The sides we more on the southern side than Asian though. It ended up being a nice middle of the two in my opinion. I really liked the jalapeno chicken. read more

Okay Mac &; Cheese is one of my fav meals to eat. NO ONE I MEAN NO ONE CAN BEAT MY MOM..... SO today my mom and I are hanging out and I had to take a drug test at choice point midtown for this new job. Well since we was near by we walked to the nearest food court, LOL it took us 10-15 mins to deiced what we want. So I just order the mac & cheese my mom had a vegetable plate.. Also We went to long john silvers and order a fish dinner. BTW when I took a bite into my mac n cheese. I WAS IN FOOOOOOOOOD HEAVEN. LOL I must say the Chinese ppl MAC N CHEESE taste just like soul food mac n cheese. =) I'm addicted thanks alot read more

I cannot stress how good this food is. Alright, alright, alright. Yes. It is in a food court. Yes. It is Southern comfort food made my people who are clearly not from the South. But does it matter if the food is freaking amazing?! No. All of the food is displayed so you can see what you want to eat. But let me tell you, even though the food is on a hot line... everything I have ever ordered has been fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. I've had the roasted chicken, meatloaf, mac & cheese, roasted potatoes, sweet corn, and their cornbread. All of which is very good. A lot of the plates include a choice of meat and two sides. I usually order cornbread for an extra 65 cents. And a regular sweet tea. All ended up being $9.58. Which is pretty good for the amount they give you. Try this place out! Plus, it is very convenient if you want to get your food right away just in case you are in a rush. read more

The food is the BEST! So, So good. Unbelievably good. I wish there was one in Southern California.

Okay, so forget that this is a food court Chinese franchise type thing, and listen. This place has zucchini that has ruined me for life. I will forever compare all zucchini dishes to this place's zucchini. I even considered asking for a full plate of just zucchini for lunch today. OMG. I don't know what they did to it. But if you are considering this place, and they have the zucchini available, please try it. You'll see. Incidentally, their lo mein was also perfectly chewy (tho a little greasy), and their chicken was perfectly flavored and crispy. All around enjoyable lunch. read more

Yes yes yes!!!!! These people know how to make neatly and delicious food. They greet you as you walk up with samples and ready to serve you. Their grill chicken is like ahh so good. The food is pretty cheap for large amount. read more

Had the barbecue chicken for lunch with string beans and sweet potatoes for $8.32. The chicken was very good and I enjoyed the sweet potatoes. They gave me a lot of food for eight dollars. Had a second lunch with barbecue chicken and sweet potatoes. The total cost was $6.12. Again, the food was excellent. The sweet potatoes were delicious. This seems to be a popular place for lunch as the line is long. The employees to provide good service. read more

A 2 for fast and kind service. I'm not from Atlanta, so I was trying to understand why they serve Chinese food and southern style food. I suppose it may be to cater to the population in Atlanta. I'm curious about it and about what recipes they used for the southern food, just as far as where they got the recipes. Anyways, the rice was not flavorful and it was greasy. The jalapeño shrimp was very good, the chicken I got was ok, the flavoring on it was interesting. The odd thing is that I enjoyed the green beans the most. read more

I had Salisbury steak with mac & cheese, & corn. It was delish, and that Salisbury steak was big and normally too big for me, but I can't knock a place down for giving you lots of food. I would totally recommend it for a fast meal that's good. read more

Quality of food has gone down along with the portions. Over the last few years the price has steadily increased. I've worked downtown for more than 10 years this used to be one of the "You get what you pay for" spots, not any longer read more

I ordered the meatloaf & collars greens. The portion was small & the quality of food is what you would expect from a chain restaurant. Along with a Coke, the meal cost $9. read more

This is one of the restaurants in Peachtree Center Mall (code word - food court). If you just need a meal, this is your place. Nothing extremely spectacular about them save for the HUGE size of their chicekn fingers. But, that is really just breading. They have southern veggies. Makes no sense that you do not get a roll with the cost of your meal. read more

I ordered the baked chicken with roasted potatoes and yellow rice., I enjoyed everything about my food. It was very good.

Food is okay, but it's a good value. Full meal and drink for less than $10. Somewhat odd assortment of things...aka some Asian dishes side by side southern dishes...??? read more

Everytime I come to atlanta my girlfriend and I make sure to stop here. They have the best chicken in my opinion at a very resonable price. The serving size is so large we always have to share a plate which still leaves us both full. The only complaint I have is there isn't a New Orleans location. read more

Good REAL food fast. I've never been dissapointed here. The prices are reasonable especially for downtown Atlanta. The food is fresh. The customer service is fast but hard to make an opinion other than that since itneraction with them is very fast. This is the perfect quick place when you are downtown and want some real food (ie not burgers and fries) but don't want to spend a lot or don't have a lot of time. Lots of veggies to choose from make it even better. read more

We just moved office locations and I've been reunited with Peachtree Center and Farmer's Basket. It's still good food for a great price. It's awesome to get a good lunch for less than 10 bucks. read more

The portion was small (vegetables) - If you are a vegetarian,please do not go to this location. Will not return anytime soon...

The chicken, collard greens and blackeye peas are excellent. Corn muffin was too sweet for my taste but still good. The diet Coke was very good. I will definitely be back. read more

I ordered the sweet and spicy chicken with lo mein. When I got back to work and opened my container ready to dig in, I noticed that my chicken was greatly discolored. I could see the discoloring through the fried breading. I was immediately turned off. I cut into the chicken just to make sure and on the inside it was a black and dark grey color...almost as if the chicken had mold. I have never seen chicken look like this in all my days. I sifted through the rest of the pieces on the plate and they were all discolored as well. Every single piece! The breading wasn't even sticking to the chicken and you could tell it wasn't because of the sauce. I absolutely hate to say this but I don't believe that was chicken. The sauce was not even heavy enough to make the breading not stick. The wetness of the chicken had an obviously different consistency than it would if that were the sauce. I am completely grossed out and all the way turned off. Im not even being biased because it's "Chinese food" because I have eaten Chinese food all the time and h! Sadly enough the food looked so gross I couldn't even stomach the smell of it anymore and had to thrown the whole $10 plate away. Im a student so $10 is for sure a lot for me to waste! I called them to get a refund and to even walk all the way back just to take them my plate so they could see I was not making this up...no answer. Several times. Im just going to have to file a dispute with my bank to get my money back. Sadly enough, this has ruined Chinese food for me through and through. read more
