    Lynn D.

    Tri-Fecta- French Toast with hard fried egg and bacon
    Ogretta R.

    We to breakfast here every morning. The service was great every time. My husband has the shrimp and grits with million dollar bacon, it was delicious. I had French toast with hard fried eggs and bacon. It was good. I had the morning meditation which is great. The waitress every time was friendly and nice. It was great environment, clean and pleasant.

    Bowl with horrible taste and not like picture on menu board. Greens missing or something.

    The hostess came to table once and never replenished our drinks. She was not familiar with menu and brought me wrong item. Additionally on my way pass the restroom a cook came out the restroom with his hands in his front pants and a glove on one hand and I said to him, did you wash your hands. And he said how would you know. I said you are pulling your hands out from the front of your private area and should wash your hands but he kept going to the kitchen area. Another host was putting her hair up with her hand in a clamp. She didn't wash her hands either. I lost my appetite. Wow what a morning. Sanitation is not a priority for this staff. My grandkids oatmeal was dry and overcooked. He didn't eat one bite. He loves oatmeal but not this one. Added milk didn't help. My granddaughter French toast was dry also.

    I made reservations for Farm Bluffton with an outside table last year. who knew it was hot in July?…read moreMy sister in laws face was melting at the outside table so I had to adjust fire. 2026, I made a reservation inside with our own private table. The restaurant is very charming, it's giving off White Barn Inn Kennebunkport vibes. Once you're seated, you'll see why this is a popular Low Country restaurant. We're all given menus and what I noticed was a game changer. Farm is offering a three course tasting menu but the entire table has to participate. My wife was feeling under the weather so I grabbed the waiter to the side and said, we're all in with the tasting menu except my wife. Can you make an exception? Not a problem sir! The three course menu does not include the popular Farm corn bread. I placed an order before our tasting started. You're probably saying, what's so special about corn bread? Man... If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right. The corn bread was cooked in a skillet pan, the end result was a buttery, sweet treat. The sharable starters came to the table. Roasted May River Oysters, Beef Carpaccio and Burrata with shaved ham. The Roasted May River Oysters were my favorite bite of all these selections. The oysters were large and plumpy and the chef did not overcook the shell fish. Next, the waiter dropped off a huge bowl of Shrimp Rice along with a Heritage Pork Chop. This is what elevated southern cooking is all about, the pork chop was moist and had a wonderful taste. Another highly recommended dish. Dessert, I was starting to get really full but the Blueberry Olive Oil cake did not disappoint. There was a Toll House Hand Made Pie, also very good but I really full at this point of the meal. First time dining at Farm, it was a pleasure to dine here and I can't wait to return.

    Let me start out by saying Yelp reviews are what led me to Farm. I was in town for the afternoon…read moreto check out Bluffton. What a quaint and charming town! Before leaving town, we decided to have dinner, and that is where Farm comes in. We decided to go with the recommendation of the staff up front and the waiter, choosing the Anthology menu for dinner. That selection was impossible to be disappointed with. The food is sourced locally, the taste is exceptional, and the service (shout-out to Justin) is outstanding. We just planned a return visit to Bluffton for May. This is what a low-country dining experience should be.

Located in a strip mall area there's plenty of parking. They have a Louisiana/Cajun/New Orlean type cuisine Rachael was our server and was extremely helpful as well as patient with the group I was with. Since reading the reviews prior to visiting, I wanted to try the Oyster Po-Boy. On the lunch menu, they had Combos where you can order a half Po-Boy along with soup or Gumbo for $13.95. The Oyster Po-Boy added an extra $1.00. So that's what I ordered----half oyster Po-Boy with Shrimp & Corn soup. The soup tasted like it may have been homemade. It was excellent with at least 6 medium size shrimp along with a delicious corn and seafood broth. The half Po-Boy was definitely a good size packed with large fried oysters. They had a separate room which I didn't visit. I'm guessing for larger parties or overflow. I believe they also serve alcohol although I didn't see a bar when I was there. Mainly people there for breakfast, brunch or lunch.

From the moment we sat down, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming -- the kind that makes you feel like a valued guest rather than just another table. We stopped in for brunch and were blown away. The Coconut Lime Shrimp Bowl was incredibly fresh with bright, vibrant flavors, and the Traditional Eggs Benedict was perfectly executed -- beautifully cooked with rich, balanced flavors. Every bite tasted thoughtful and well crafted. The fresh juices were so flavorful and a perfect addition to our meal. What really stood out was how balanced everything felt: a creative, well-curated menu, excellent flavors, and top-notch service all coming together for a memorable meal.

We went there to get the beef short rib only to go to order it, they didn't have it that night, they were out and it was their main feature item on the website. So I ordered the steak with corn risotto ($45) only to get 4 small pieces of steak maybe 4 oz and no risotto so they gave me white rice with pieces of corn In It. The rice was so dry so I asked for chimichurri thinking this would help and they had that on the menu serving with the flank steak and wouldn't you know it they were out of that as well. Service was really slow there was 4 of us they finally gave us our cocktails after 15 wait (again we were the first ones there) then delivered only 2 drinks to our table we had to wait 5-7 minutes to get the other 2. I eventually went to the bar to get the drinks myself. The martinis were small not even a normal martini glass and watered down. $18 per The food and drinks was expensive for what you got. We will never go back over priced poor service and just Ok food

Staff was friendly. But the avocado toast was on ciabatta bread (no one asked what kind of bread we wanted) and it was such a slim layer of avocado. Very disappointed. What I don't know is whether they have changed their toast for all locations and reduced the amount of avocado or was this a fluke or only typical of the Bluffton location. We will go back to the port royal location sometime this week because now I need to know! Oh and we tried the roasted potatoes which I have never tried before. The flavors/herbs were good but the potatoes were not cooked fresh so they were soft/chewy.

While waiting we hear the server next to us announce the specials - which our server did NOT inform us of as we arrived. My wife would have ordered different. Finally her salad arrives and we eat. My shrimp and grits were sparse on shrimp and were made with mushrooms and reminded me of ingredients found in an omelet. Not a typical flavor. I finished most but not all of it. Just a bit weird. And that 1/2 a biscuits? A lump of flavorless starch. Our server was nice but seems she wasn't as seasoned as other servers nearby. She should inform everyone of the specials. Ask your server if there are specials. Our cocktails were the best part of our meal. And the prices? That bowl of shrimp and grits, along with my simple side salad were a whopping $23. My wife's salad was comparably priced. The dogs split their bowl, which was $10 just a bit much but they did bring us a bowl of water. All-in-all average food, a bit cramped for seating, over priced and a server that needed to up her game.
