We went here before a show at the Guthrie. We had no reservations and knew there was a risk to that. We were able to have a short wait (10 mins) and then were able to get a table for 2. We each ordered a drink, a beer for the husband and I got "The Louisa May" (we were seeing little women). I was not sure how it would be but it turned out to be absolutely stunning! That drink was PERFECTION! We opted to split the burger as neither of us were starving, but were certainly in need of dinner. The burger was fantastic! We both absolutely loved the mix of the flavors. It came with a side of chips, tortilla chips that is, which was a little odd. They were certainly fresh and good, but also a very modest amount and tortilla chips were a bit of a strange mix. We were able to eat and get over to the show with time to spare. They certainly know how to navigate the preshow crowd. We would definitely be back in the future. read more

Such a quaint Café in the middle of the Mill City area. I ordered the Hot Chai oatmeal latte with a shot of espresso 10/10. It was absolutely delicious, so dense and so out of this world. I was able to taste all of spice flavors of the chai and the espresso shot is an add on is from the professionally curated multi espresso machine. The barista knew what she was doing and she was exceptionally friendly and wow was my espresso so good I can't believe how good it is for not being like a coffee chain. My drink was like at the level of SpyHouse, and at the level of Dunn Brothers which have been my only go to in the North Loop area. I definitely will be back here for a latte when I'm in this area. read more

Stopped at this cute little kitchen after visiting the Stonebridge arch festival. Had brunch with a coworker. It was delicious and I was so happy my server allowed me to order off of the kids menu with a small up charge since I wasn't feeling super hungry. Great brunch options!

First time here. I went with two friends all of us ordered the turkey sandwich. The chips that come with them are salty and tasty! I substituted Mn wild rice soup instead of the chips, super yummy. The restaurant offers great sandwich's, salads and drinks. Also a lil coffee shop at the entrance. They do specials as well like a blueberry coffee. The wait staff was not super friendly except one gal. Multiple people serve each of the tables. read more

We've been wanting to visit here for a while, and since it's in the heart of the Mill City farmers market it was a great time to stop. All of our food was great and even though it was busy, we got seated right away and service was great. We also loved the old photos and photo mural artwork. Always happy to support local farmers. :) read more

Cute place next to the Saturday farmer's' market by the Gutherie theater Small menu with foods sourced from Minnesota farms. Even though it was a very busy lunchtime, rush, we were able to get a table for two. Service was pretty good. The framers breakfast features turkey sausage- which's is very dry. The "jam" for the toast was not sweet and was more like a fruit purée. I suspect the potatoes were deep fried? Then tossed w sautéed onion and peppers. The 8-grain griddle cake was great. read more

I stopped in for a fun banana fosters coffee, it was delicious and very, very well made! The staff was friendly. The drink was elaborate so it took a little longer but they move quick! I want to come back and try their breakfast! The menu is pretty pricey. That's why I'm taking off some stars. But the space is beautiful, they have a great farmer supporting mission, and they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Prime location for a restaurant but the food isn't great if you're a flavor lover like myself. Unfortunately the menu offerings are kind of bland for my taste but I would recommend to someone who has a tame palate. If you're looking for a bite before a show at the Guthrie I'd recommend taking the time to look elsewhere and then make your way to theatre. This is the sort of place you stop into for a quick lunch as you walk along the river. read more

This is a small spot across the street from the Guthrie theater. Street parking was pretty easy to find, even within a couple of hours of the show performance. We couldn't get a reservation when we called a few days earlier, and we were lucky enough to get some barstools along the window. The server was very friendly, but drinks and food were quite slow to arrive. It must be very challenging in the kitchen as I'm imagining they probably have like the entire restaurant ordering at almost the same time prior to showtime? But now let's get to the heart of this review. The food I had was excellent. I was absolutely blown away by the daily special: harvest bowl with Delicata squash. Portions are generous, the food is fresh and flavorful. My dish had so many textures and just the right amount of sauce and garnishes and beautiful vegetables...definitely one of my favorite dishes of the year! We each ordered one of the specialty cocktails, which were tied to the themes of the currently running Guthrie shows, very clever. They were all tasty and beautifully presented. I really liked this place a lot, and would definitely come here again. I might actually try to come at a time during the show performances to avoid the rush next time, but I recommend you check their hours carefully because they do close earlier than most places. read more

We had a group of 12 with a reservation after the Guthrie play of McBeth . Very convenient to walk from one to the other. The wait staff was sensational. The menu also had a daily special menu. The service was phenomenal. Drinks were very reasonable. The food specials were very reasonably priced as was the regular menu. The ambiance was relaxing. read more

I've been to this place twice now and really like my second experience. First time around I went for lunch and liked the food but the ordering at the counter experience was not the best and I think didn't suit the restaurant. This time I went back for dinner and they were full service. The server said they had just transition and it was a much better experience. Food was fantastic. I had the pork belly sandwich and it was tremendous. NA cider was the best I've had and paired well. The person I came with said he was going to eat half his burger but he ate the whole thing it was o good. Loved the space as well which paid homage to the Minnesota farmers where the ingredients come from. Will definitely be back. read more

5 stars for food and service 2 stars for coffee Right next to the Guthrie Center, Farmers Kitchen & Bar uses a number of locally sourced ingredients and it made my harvest bowl feel, well, harvested. Fresh and bright pesto, beautifully cooked grains, veggies and eggs. I really enjoyed the bowl. The cheesecake brownie tasted healthy, so I'll leave you to decide if that's a good or a bad thing for you. They weren't able to heat any of the baked goods. The coffee was meh. Really meh. I ordered the seasonal caramel apple latte. The milk wasn't too foamy to be a latte. The syrup was not locally or made in house. The truly unacceptable piece here was that my hot latte was already lukewarm by the time it reached the table. This is my biggest pet peeve. To charge $6, or any money at all for a hot drink that I can guarantee, sees this problem regularly, isn't ok in my book. Service was wonderful and space is limited, but the vibes are overall cute of the place. read more

We had reservations before a play. It was great. We were seated on time. We started with drinks and an appetizer. I ordered the beet salad which was amazing. The beets were perfectly marinated and the pecans were wonderful. My husband had a bowl which he enjoyed. We finished with a squash semifreddo with Carmel and walnuts. The food was great with exception of puff pastry from the dessert which was very dry and tasteless. The interior has a cool farm theme which we loved. Every table was full and there wasn't much room to move around which gave it kind of a cozy feel. Our waitress was great. We were checked on by several people as well as our waitress. It was a really good experience. read more

Farmers Kitchen is our go-to Mill District place for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Had great pre theatre dinner on way to Guthrie.

We stopped here for a cocktail before seeing a show at the Guthrie. It was a perfect place for that as the theater is right next door and you can enjoy the lights of the theater as you enjoy each other's company. The wine selection for glasses was good. I thought the menu looked good as well and plan on stopping by for a meal in the near future. I liked the cozy feel of the restaurant. It was busy and we were required to be seated by the host, even for just a drink. We sat at the counter in the bar area looking outside. read more

The food definitely tasted and looked very fresh! I loved the style and look of the restaurant and their offerings. Great staff, very friendly, and all smiles. They looked like they really enjoyed working with each other. It's located downtown near the stone arch bridge, so parking isn't always easy. The brunch menu was small, but that wasn't a big deal. I love that they offered brunch cocktails, that's always a plus. Overall, great experience! - Anthony read more

Yummy first experience at Farmers Kitchen. Highly recommend making reservations, it's very busy. You order at the counter and they bring food out, wasn't super clear to us how things work (and felt a bit chaotic and disorganized for others too). Good food, we went for brunch. Highly recommend the scotcheroos. Not super accessible (tight aisles, very crowded). Street or nearby parking ramp options. read more

I am not sure how I find these outstanding food spots on the first try but.... once again I found myself in an outstanding eatery right out of the gate. My friends and I took a short walk from our downtown hotel (Marquette) and made our way over to the Farmer's Kitchen + Bar for a casual dinner. The staff here is fantastic and Tyler took care of us for the evening. The entire shop has windows and you really get to be part of the residential experience watching all the bicycle riders and dogs walkers here. This was such a comfortable place to sit and relax in. Tyler came over and explained the menu. He took our drink order then upon delivery took our main meal order. After enjoying the cheese board with drinks, our main meal showed up. My burger was nothing less than outstanding. It was just so "fresh" even the lettuce and tomato were delicious along with the brioche bun. It's amazing how you can just taste the fresh. This is the whole principal of Farmers. My wife sliced roast beef on Ciabatta with red, and green peppers along with sliced onion was also excellent. Tender and tasty sliced beef wonderfully dressed. My friend commented that his grilled cheese sandwich was the best he ever had. Wow... This place just rocked it, a fantastic experience. I cannot recommend this place enough times. If your in Minneapolis, it's a must do place. KUDOs to the team at Farmers Kitchen + Bar read more

Tired from walking and touring the Stone Arch Festival and the Guthrie Theater and the Mill City Ruins... my friends and I wanted to sit down for lunch...so we were happy to find the Farmers Kitchen restaurant! They have both indoor and outdoor seating, but as we were tired from the sun, we opted to sit inside the airconditioned indoor seating with ceiling to floor windows so we got plenty of light. I ordered the Wild Rice Waldorf salad which I loved! The lemon and pepper perfectly complement apples, cherries and wild rice with the baked chicken. My friend ordered the Harvest Bowl which she said was really filling. It did look good with its ample amount of grains, two poached eggs with tomatoes, squash and greens. My other friend was in a breakfast mode and ordered the Sunrise Beef Hash which she said was packed with flavor. It had a combination of white and orange potatoes, tons of vegies and grass -fed beef. LOVE! read more

this place has some of the freshest, cleanest food you can find in the area. left leaving leaving with a heavy belly but still felt like a million bucks! their season menu is delicious! highly recommend the bruschetta. my boyfriend and i split the burger and the barn boss belly. the burger was so juicy and flavorful it was amazing. barn boss belly was also delicious! i did think it was lacking in flavor but the pork belly was such a good piece of meat i think it was still good. waitstaff are so nice around here but beware, don't go right before when the guthrie has a play. the place was PACKED when we went and the host told us to come back at 7pm bc that's when the play started and it would be empty by then. and she was right! it was empty (good for us) but yes highly recommend! read more

Super super slow service to no service at all Took maybe 45 mins for food, 15 mins to get the checks . Not to mention those waiters and waitresses just hang around the bar area chatting. Food was ok but not worth the price. Chips don't even come with sauces and they would try charging you for sauces. The walleye cake is really tiny. Gosh that was just a waste of my time ... I forgot one more thing... they don't event have soups! I guess they were honest to tell you that they had some soups but it's the bottom of the pot lol read more

I wasn't planning on eating here but we wanted to visit Mill Ruins park before heading to St Paul for the day and I didn't want to eat at a place I had already scoped out in a different direction. Walking in, there's promise. It the kind of place you order at the counter, get a number and find a seat yourself. There's a bar you can seat yourself at for service (I think) as well. I must say that it is really expensive for what you get. I will admit, the food was ok and the service was better than I thought because the people who bring you your food will absolutely get you something if you need something else, like hot sauce. However, I can't see how they justify $60 for two plates of eggs, bacon and toast. Actually, my bf got turkey sausage, which I wish I did because it seemed like the better value when I saw our two plates next to each other. Don't get me wrong, I am the type to spend too much $$$ on good food but this place did not seem to warrant that spending. It didn't help that my matcha latte was almost inedible. Granted, the person who made it was training and I could have gone back and complained but I hate doing that, even if it could have been a teaching moment. I can see why people would like eating here but for me, the price and the service don't match and I can't see myself ever coming back. read more

I popped in to Farmer's Kitchen and Bar on a whim for a quick lunch and had no idea what to expect. The first thing I noticed was that it's in a super cool area. There's a lot going on outside which makes it the perfect place to grab lunch or work remotely. For example, we watched a guy on a motorized skateboard pulling his dog down the street in a cart. Food and a show? Look no further. The second thing I noticed is that the cool area results in a high price tag. We spent around $75 on two drinks and two entrees. The good news is that you order at the front counter and pay right away so you can leave as soon as you finish eating! I thought the food was good. If I'm being honest, it wasn't mind blowing for the price but I can't complain. The Spiced Apple Sidecar, however, was great! Strong - but not in a way that's offensive. I'm typically a light liquor person but I enjoyed the brandy and the portion was perfect. Overall, I enjoyed the vibe, the location, and the food. For the price, I would've loved to have food that altered my brain chemistry but maybe that's on me for ordering a burger. It's definitely a spot I'd recommend and come back to but nothing crazy memorable?! I hope that helps. Cheers! read more

Fresh farm to table food for the conscientious eater! All around great service, food and location. It's positioned right next to the Guthrie Theater and walking distance to a beautifully manicured park. There is a bar attached to it, within the same space, but it all makes sense once you see the set up. I ordered the harvest bowl which had ample amount of grains, two poached eggs with tomatoes, squash and greens. I didn't feel any guilt eating the whole order in one sitting. It was fresh and very fulfilling. I also ordered a coffee latte with maple cream and coconut milk. It was just the right amount of sweet to savory ratio. I love the concept, love the message and topped with all around great service, this is definitely the place to come see for yourself! read more

This was my second attempt dining at Farmers Kitchen. Being so close to the Guthrie, there are points for location but beyond that, it is a disappointment. I recall my July experience being mediocre relative to food and service. This visit last night was a repeat review. While we were greeted and seated in a timely fashion, the server was not engaging. Everything was rote. Two (of three) of our meals arrived in reasonable time and we waited, assuming the third was close behind as nothing was said at the 'drop off'. I name it that, intentionally, as it was literally a drop and go by another wait person. After five minutes, I approached the bar to ask about meal 3. It was still being prepared??? No explanation. No apology. My dish, The Harvest Bowl, was mediocre. It was nondescript and without adding the optional protein, was more of a starter salad. The other two meals were described as "good". As we had an hour before the show started, we asked for a coffee dessert menu. We were told there was one dessert offering, cheesecake and that the coffee bar was closed but they could brew us drip coffee. One cup came right away. We waited 10 minutes for the second cup and even though cream was requested with the order, it came 5 minutes later. Two and through. Points for location and a relaxed atmosphere but after two mediocre (at best) experiences, I will not be returning. read more

The opening of Farmers brought a much-needed restaurant back to the Mill District, but it's also not without some downsides. The food here is pretty good, but not quite as good as the "Farmers Union" booth at the state fair, which it is supposed to be modeled after. The portion sizes are generally smaller and prices higher than at the fair, and high in general for a "fast-casual" type restaurant (picture an upscale, better version of a Panera, but with a full bar). We used to come here a lot for coffee, but two cups of regular coffee will now set you back close to $10 after tax and service charge, an obscene amount for batch-brew drip coffee. Their dishes are fairly good...we really like the "shore lunch" walleye sandwich, but again, prices are high for the portions. The cocktails are also tasty, but plan to spend close to $18 on just one fancy cocktail after tax and service charge. They are also closed both Monday and Tuesday, which is a huge bummer. Service is fairly quick and the outdoor seating is pleasant, so we still come here every once in a while, but not as much as we might if the prices were a little better. All in all, an ok choice in the Mill District, as long as you don't mind the prices. read more

My friend and I went here before a play at the Guthrie. It is super close so they understand that timing is important. It is a hustling little local ingredient only restaurant! Fun craft cocktails all Minnesota inspired and all local farm fresh fare! We started with the Charcuterie Board which was delicious! ( sorry no picture of this) Local cheeses and Local honey mixed with blueberries and apple slices that were divine!! Tonite we weren't very hungry so we shared the Waldorf Salad which was also delicious! This is a great stop anytime but definitely for a pre-theatre dinner! read more

Good food and fun drinks by the Guthrie and Mill City Museum. Came here for a quick bite before a show. The menu is pretty simple but the food is flavorful and fresh. And the bar puts out many interesting drinks. Ordered the wild rice soup and harvest salad. The soup was fine, but the salad was a bigger hit. The salad had a nice blend of greens, roasted squash, dried cranberries and pepitas, and was perfectly dressed with a tangy cider vinaigrette. We sat at the bar, and the bartender gave us great service, and we got to see him creating many fun drinks. You can also order directly from the coffee counter, which also offers a few pastries. Good place for a quick bite before a show. read more

I could only give them 2 stars, even though the food generally tasted good. The breakfast sandwich had cheap proccesed American cheese, not cheddar cheese like the menu said. If they ran out of the more costly cheddar cheese, they should have told us that when we placed our order. The harvest bowl had great flavor, but the portion size was tiny for the price of $16. We shared an order of home fries. I should have taken a picture, but I didn't. These were not fries. Fries are long and cylindercal in shape and cooked in a deep fryer. These were more like breakfast potatoes, with onions and peppers baked in the oven. They tasted good, but not what I expected based on the menu description. Lastly, the 20% service fee, is deceptive price gouging. If you need more money to cover Bidenomics, then increase your price, don't hide it in a service fee. I also don't get why they add the tax on to the order after they add the 20% service fee. The food is good here, but it wasn't worth the $45 we paid for breakfast. I won't be back. read more

This is a cute cafe settled right on the corner by the Guthrie. It's got small table seating inside and outside with big windows to let in the natural light. You order at the counter and get a number for your food to be brought to you. We thought this was a sit down and get served on place, so we were a little thrown off by this part. It also says bar but they don't have their full liquor license yet. I was really hoping for a Bloody Mary. For food we tried the wild rice soup, bruschetta and the garden melt. The bruschetta was delicious and fresh. I really liked the bread they used too. The garden melt was also pretty tasty. The chips that come with the sandwiches taste like nachos, and I felt like it needed some dip to go with them. The wild rice soup tasted amazing! I only wish that it had a thicker base. It was very watery. Service was fair. Prices are a little more than average but that's okay. The food is coming from local farmers and it's all for a good cause, which is awesome! read more
