I had no clue what to expect being a first time patron. My spouse had been here several times and was always raving about how good it was. The stars aligned and we finally made it during a meal time. We came in and ordered and paid at the counter, found our seats, and then waited while our food was being prepared. There's something to see on every wall, and you can tell they know what they're doing with all of the trophies on display that they've won throughout the years. The indoor seating isn't too ample, so don't plan a family reunion, but it can hold a few families at dinner time. There's not a bad meat on the menu. If you're a vegetarian, this is not your new favorite spot. We got their brisket, chicken leg, and smoked turkey. The sauces at the table were tasty, and everyone found a favorite. We were thankful for the ample supply of paper towels, because our littles chowed down and needed to be wiped clean. This Redneck BBQ Lab knows what they're doing. On this particular night, they had too many leftover chicken halves towards the end of the evening, and were selling them half off, so we ate our food, and then got chicken to go for a future meal. Stop in and try it sometime.

You pick, you mix, you customize, and somehow it all comes together into something genuinely tasty. The Food The Farmhouse Salad and a few of the other signature options are excellent if you want something simple and satisfying right out of the gate. But the real fun is in the mix-and-match. The standard menu combinations are creative and the ingredient pairings work better than you'd expect. What's consistently impressed me most is the freshness. Everything tastes like it was actually prepped that day, which isn't a given at fast-casual spots. I have had to someties further chop down larger components that may not have been chopped with care but that is an easy fix. Pro Tip: If you're watching sodium, be intentional about your dressing choice. Some of them can sneak up on you. Easy fix once you know -- but worth flagging for my fellow low-sodium folks. Logistics: Parking is easy. Prices are reasonable. The only thing keeping me from being a regular is the 20-minute drive from my house, which says more about my laziness than anything about the restaurant. Bottom Line: Fresh ingredients, fun customization, solid value. If you want a healthy fast-casual lunch that doesn't feel like a punishment, Farmside Kitchen delivers. Recommend.

I got grilled chicken and didn't taste or see it either. He said it was shredded. Still didn't see it. Buffalo was barely noticeable. I did taste it a bit but not very much. There is another restaurant we've been to in the area with similiar menu and same prices but the quality AND quantity is soon much better. When I was given a refund it was cash instead of credit card (how I paid). I would have preferred it go back on my credit card. I spoke to the manager and he didn't seem to care at all.

Buffalo mac bowl was good. Not worth $12, but had a good taste. The chicken (grilled) is plain and looks like canned. The flatbread tasted like the movies and Costco. Not worth $9. Was very bendy and not crispy on the bottom at all. Overall, the food isn't bad tasting. The price for the quality, not worth it.

The seasoning was perfect and I didn't even have to salt the meat it was so tasty. The twice baked potato was delicious too! Our server Michelle was wonderful!

We celebrated a special occasion on a Friday evening and were pleased. The hostess started things out very positively by going above and beyond to seat us in a booth. She checked in a couple of times during our meal to insure that we were having a great experience. It was much appreciated. The salad bar doesn't have a huge selection of ingredients, but it is very fresh and kept well stocked. It was the quintessential steak house salad bar. Skip the dinner rolls; they tasted like something from the grocery store bakery and weren't very good. We both tried the Wagyu ribeye. It was very nice: cooked exactly as ordered with a nice sear on the outside. The steak was very flavorful and tender as Wagyu should be. It was excellent and a very reasonable value for $69. The accompanying salt-rubbed baked potato was excellent as well. The restaurant offered two dessert choices: a flight of cheese cake samples or a chocolate cake. We chose the chocolate cake and received a mammoth slab of cake covered in white icing. It was good but nothing exceptional. I wish there had been at least one additional dessert choice to choose from. Service for the rest of our meal was fine. Our drinks ran dry but were eventually refilled. The kitchen did a good job serving our meals at just the right time. The restaurant is attractively decorated inside, but it can't hide its heritage as a prefab metal building. There's a thrift store next door which creates a dichotomy for a restaurant serving $69 steaks. We will return to Harvey Johns Steakhouse the next time we're in the mood for a steak.

After a long and exhausting week, coupled with a craving for fried fish we elected to go here…read more While nicely decorated, the interior is small and can seat about 20 ppl or so. We sat outside this day, as the weather was mild and there wasn't any available seats inside. We ordered a fried combo and a grilled combo. TrySeafood does a lot of things right. Portion size was fairly generous. We especially love the fact they serve cleaned jumbo shrimp. Food was cooked well, shrimp was tender as was scallops. The broccoli was not tender crisp nor mushy. The potatoes and corn were delicious. While service was friendly, it was a bit slow. Also, I'm not an Old Bay fan. The grilled shrimp were seasoned with Old Bay. While the fish was crispy, I prefer a cornmeal dredge to a flour dredge. Finally, (and this could have been a me thing) the tip percentage on the screen doesn't align with the math. I intended to tip 15% - which is standard especially considering slow service. That should have been approx $8 and when I got home I realized it was approximately $16. You're not given a printed receipt and if you're in a rush and going through the process quickly it's easy to miss. Again I may have missed something, but I'm pretty sure I selected the %15 option. Additionally, I've seen other restaurants that have intentionally include this practice. Would I go again, sure. I'd request a different seasoning blend or a light seasoning and check that math!

So good we ate there two nights in a row! Great location…read moredowntown; plenty of free street parking and a public lot across the street. Super friendly staff.

Apps You can't go wrong with their Corn Fritters in a smokey, honey sauce or their Fried Green Tomatoes served with house made chow chow and goat cheese. Both large enough cooked perfectly, decent sized, and plenty of meat; Entrees The grilled Flank Steak Salad with with blue cheese crumbles ( I substituted feta) , sliced apples, walnuts, and red onions served with honey balsamic dressing was the perfect size and flavors. But the HR king here is the Pork Tenderloin topped with blackstrap molasses, garlic mashed potatoes and bacon Brussels sprouts. everything about this dish was perfect. The best of these commonly seen items. The second night we had different types of burgers which were good but not life changing. However their fries are crispy perfect. Mexican street corn was good but at $7 for one ear....not worth it. desserts ( and a lot of the drinks) come in little mason jars and are pretty good too. Great place and I highly recommend it. Crazy as it sounds the whole place (including the bar) is closed by 9 or 10pm daily. We'll be back

I got fish and chips and he got buttermilk chicken sandwich with fries. He ate all his fries and sandwich and said it was good. Sandwich came out hot but not fries. Mine was a big disappointment. The fish was burned and the batter had no flavor at all. Even doused with lots of malt vinegar, salt and pepper, it was still barely edible ( I ate the inside). If I hadn't been so hungry I would have sent it back, but I had not eaten all day and was hangry. In the picture you can see one showing the burnt side and I turned the other one over to check the other side. There was a kale slaw type salad that was just ok. Had lots of onion in it which I don't prefer. The fries were not good at all. Limp, no flavor. I only ate two and gave up. We went to Publix and got a frozen pizza and went home and cooked it. The place is nice, clean from what I saw and our waitress was wonderful. This would be a 3.5 only because of the great service.

Having recently relocated from Los Angeles, we've been fortunate to dine at many exceptional restaurants throughout the United States and abroad. While we have thoroughly enjoyed our move to Fuquay-Varina, finding a memorable dining experience has proven somewhat challenging. In fact, we have yet to find many informal restaurants that stand out, let alone a true fine dining destination. That is why this evening was such a pleasant surprise. We were warmly greeted and our server was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was decorated very well- not over the top but inviting. Our table enjoyed the New York strip, pork chop, filet, salmon, steak appetizer, and two orders of the shrimp cocktail--which was easily my personal favorite. Every dish was expertly prepared, beautifully presented, and thoroughly enjoyable. Naturally, there are always a few individual preferences that can be adjusted on future visits, but those are minor details. Most importantly, we left genuinely impressed. It appears we may have found our new "special occasion" restaurant--and perhaps even a regular dining destination. The intimate booths in the bar area add a warm and inviting touch that makes the experience even more enjoyable. We are already looking forward to our next visit.
