    The Rancher and Watermelon Hibiscus Lemonade
    Courtnay B.

    Dined in for lunch and had the Rancher Bowl and watermelon hibiscus lemonade (yum!). The line moved really fast, the people were friendly and the food was delicious. The food is super fresh, portion size is large and very reasonably priced. I will definitely be back!

    I stopped in here for a salad one afternoon. It was good. I saw another review that said "think of Chipotle, only for salads" and I thought that was an accurate description. Same type of service and vibe inside as Chipotle. Great alternative to fast food and likely way less expensive than getting a salad bar from Whole Foods. I particularly liked their salad dressing choices.

    Can't go wrong with Farmside Kitchen! Everything is so fresh and delicious and the price is downright cheap for the quality and amount of food.

    I got The Rancher and my partner got Build Your Own Farmbowl with a Sparkling pineapple mint drink.

    I got The Rancher and my partner got the Build your own farmbowl. I loved mine, I'm glad I can request to remove an ingredient or replace it with something else. My bowl was a bit spicy from the sriracha sauce which is optional but very creamy from the feta cheese and avocado, so good. My partner enjoys that he can choose whatever ingredients he wants and dressing. They ask how much dressing you want too. Will come again, such friendly staff and clean establishment.

    Very very good spot. The staff was super friendly and the place was really clean. They've got plenty of indoor and outdoor seating which is nice. Tons of toppings and dressings to pick from and everything tasted super fresh. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

    This is the second Farmside Kitchen location in the Triangle. This location is located in the upper level of the Waverly Place shopping plaza. There is plenty of parking in the shared parking lot. There is also also a large dining area indoors & some seats and tables outside. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by multiple employees. The staff were exceptional throughout our visit. They were very helpful in assisting us with our bowls, to-go containers, bags, drinks, etc. We got the opportunity to come for a sneak peak of the business that is opening next week. Farmside offers a variety of preselected bowl options or you can create your own bowl. They also have a kids menu, avocado toast, cookies fountain drinks such as soda & fruit juices, grilled cheese, and etc. We got to try a variety of items such as their bowls, Mac & cheese, cookies, juices & sodas. We got our food very quickly & were provided with large portion sizes. We even had leftovers. Everything tasted good and was fresh. My favorite was the Rancher & Caesar bowls. The Mac & cheese was good & creamy & the cookies were soft & tasty. I can't wait to come back & try other menu items!

    Bottom line: Farmside Kitchen in their Waverly Place location serves up some light and healthier meal options that I enjoy. I like having a choice that not only offers that type of meal but you can customize to your liking as well. Good meals so far here. The Deets: I've discovered Farmside Kitchen fairly recently by ordering from them delivery-wise using their RTP location. I found it a great way to order a pretty healthy and light meal through delivery. Now I have been able to visit their Waverly Place location in person here as well. This location is bright and clean, flow is easy to get to order your meal with a good sized seating area inside. There are a few tables outside also. When ordering, you can see all the ingredients available during each step of the process, pretty simple. They have a wide variety of choices to put together to make your meal unique or have many pre-formulated menu selections that they put together in front of you. I usually go with the Little Farmer Bowl with your choice of grilled protein, choice of grain, choice of green, black beans or roasted veggie, topping/dressing, and a choice of drink. I usually like Romaine, grilled chicken, rice, black beans, and Parmesan cheese for my bowl. Yes, it's from the kid's menu but it's just the size I need and contains all I'd like to enjoy in the meal (remember, keeping it somewhat light here). One visit I did get their avocado toast and enjoyed it as a "side" to my bowl choice. Service was adequate both visits, felt a bit rushed the first time but well served and all went well. I like Farmside Kitchen and will continue to enjoy meals from there, whether in person or delivery.

    Came here on a Wednesday afternoon. Restaurant is casual as you order at the counter. There is a limit to amount of food options you put in your bowl. I think I was overcharged as two bowls came to $38 and I followed the instructions. Quality of food is good. It was warm and fresh. Selection of sodas and fruit infused drinks.

    My husband and I happened upon their sneak peak/employee training. I have been wanting to try the Durham location for a while and it never worked out. So glad the owner and manager stopped us to invite us in. Usually I stay away from a restaurant when they are opening as they are ironing out the kinks. Not here. The service was so friendly and quick! The food was fresh and plentiful. Love they use locally sourced food. I tried the root veggie bowl with chicken and my husband had the pitchfork with tofu. The proteins were both cooked perfectly. I liked the root veggie bowl better than the pitch fork. I wanted to try the farm Caesar but thought that looked boring compared to others. Will have to come back. Lots of seating inside and out. Will be back!

    A bit ticky to find with gps. I had to get out of my vehicle and walk the lot. Upon entering a noticed an extremely clean and well lit space. The staff here were welcoming and pleasant staff. I enjoyed the Farm Caesar and I must agree with the description of it being not our average Caesar . I enjoyed the seasoned quinoa in this. I can't wait to come back and try other Farm-bowls. My beverage was so delicious. I enjoyed the pineapple mint.

    Delicious...

I went savory: a chicken salad croissant (flaky, generously filled, with a side of bow-tie pasta salad and a creamy poppyseed slaw) and a pressed caprese-style panini with tomato, mozzarella, and basil grilled to a deep golden crisp. Both solid, satisfying lunches. On the drinks, the cold brew made with Joe Van Gogh beans was great--smooth and well-balanced. The iced café au lait was acceptable, nothing memorable but it did the job. The bakery case alone is worth a stop: cannoli, cranberry almond muffins, strawberry streusel coffee cake, cinnamon rolls, brownies, and a rack of croissants. Friendly counter service and a comfortable spot whether you're grabbing a quick bite or lingering with a coffee. Worth a return visit. Prices are very reasonable.

They helped me navigate my coffee order and executed it to perfection. They also answered all of my gluten free questions and took extra precautions for my allergy.

You can get a punch card for every coffee and get one free on your tenth purchase. They have a great pastry selection. I got an almond croissant to go for my mom on a recommendation from a friend that said it's a can't miss! (I can't try it due to my allergy but it looks amazing) The ambiance has a cute cafe with plenty of seating.

The shoestring okra is an appetizer that you have to try. I honestly could have eaten two plates, it is perfectly crispy and a bit spicy with a great aioli dipping sauce. We also had the heirloom tomatoes with goat cheese and the pork rinds and pimento cheese. They were all devoured and enjoyed by all. I ordered the cornmeal crusted catfish with grits and blistered okra. I honestly can't remember the last time I enjoyed a meal so much. The catfish and the grits paired together perfectly. We also had jambalaya and pork schnitzel. I can't wait to return. The waitress was very knowledgeable and the ambiance was great for a girl's night.

The franchise manager immediately recognized her -- not only by face, but by name as well. He asked how she had been doing and was genuinely excited to see her. As a parent, that absolutely blew me away. This is someone who has worked with countless teenagers over the years and has likely experienced plenty of turnover, yet he still remembered my daughter personally. That kind of leadership and genuine care for employees is rare these days. The manager was just as incredible. A while back, my daughter needed to step away from work for personal reasons, and I encouraged her to have that conversation with him herself. One of the values I try to instill in my kids is taking ownership and learning how to communicate directly and responsibly. When she spoke with him, he was kind, welcoming, and willing to truly listen. He made her feel comfortable, reassured her, and simply told her that whenever she was ready to come back, she only needed to let him know. Then today, when we walked in, he greeted her with the same kindness and excitement. He called her by name, asked how she was doing, and even asked if she was ready to come back to work. Moments like this say so much about a company's culture and leadership. Great food is one thing, but great people are what truly make a business stand out. In a world where many workplaces barely know their employees, it speaks volumes when leaders take the time to genuinely know and value their staff -- especially young employees just starting out in the workforce. Thank you for creating an environment that makes people feel seen, remembered, and appreciated. That leaves a lasting impression. Tara J
