I ordered the Southwest Club sandwich ($8.50) & my son got the Turkey Pesto Melt ($8.50). The sandwiches were made on extra wide pan bread so they're big. I tried both sandwiches but thought the turkey pesto melt was better. The club sandwich came on white bread but it would taste better if it were toasted. I regretted that I didn't order the 1/2 sandwich & soup as the soups sound delicious. The freshly baked pastries looked really good, especially the brownies. I was too full to try one. The owner was friendly & told me that his sister (co-owner) comes in daily before opening & bakes the pastries from scratch. I would return here.

The cafe is located in the converted historic ROM Webber furniture factory. The Big Four cafe name honors the railroad line that used to pass through town. Courtney, our server, was friendly and attentive. She kept water filled and checked on us frequently. Food came out quickly. I had the Herb and Garlic Chopped salad, which was beautifully plated, fresh and delicious. Romaine, tomatoes, onions were topped with cheese and avocado. The garlicky vinaigrette dressing was tangy. I I also had a cup of the Texas Chili, which was topped with cheese and jalapeño slices. The beef was tender and the soup base slightly spicy. My husband had the Cuban Press (at Courtney's recommendation) and it was tasty and hearty. The sandwich was made using Indiana ham, slowed cooked pork and melted cheese. He said his sandwich was an easy 5 stars. Don't miss the beer battered onion rings which are fresh made and delicious. (I stole a couple of his rings.) There are roomy restrooms with changing tables. Free parking is available in front of the building. Worth a visit.

Definitely a two thumbs up experience and worth a drive!

We decided to check it out for breakfast. It was delicious, and we've eaten there a few times since and always have a great experience. We both have been wanting to try some of their lunch specials, but we work and can't get there to check it out. We were off today and decided to go there for lunch because they were having chicken and noodles, and that's one of my favorite meals. It did not disappoint at all. My boyfriend and I both enjoyed our meals and even ordered seconds to go, so we could have it for dinner. The chicken and noodles came with mashed potatoes, corn or green beans, and a roll. You could definitely tell the food was homemade too. Delicious! The Farmhouse Diner isn't a very big restaurant and can get pretty busy. It reminds me of a little country diner where all the local farmers and their wives go to eat breakfast and lunch. The staff is always super friendly and attentive too. We will definitely be going back.

The coffee was delightful. A little sweeter than I anticipated, but it wasn't overwhelming at all. The meal was solid and was delivered to the table quickly. While the biscuit was biscuiting, I've gotta give five gold stars to the spicy sausage gravy. I doubt it's made in-house, but it definitely tasted homemade!

Save your money and hit up First Watch, Wild Eggs, or even Sleepy Bee (with some trepidation). At least you get table service and servings worthy of the cost. Maybe it was a bad day? Maybe they've only been open a short while? Who knows. We won't be back.

I saw works of art by the original Brown County artists including L. O. Griffith, Adolf Schultz and Will Vawter. We were seated quickly and drink orders taken. The menu has basic breakfast items with homemade biscuits and locally sourced eggs and Fisher Farms ham. Our server, Sarah, was friendly and super attentive. She checked on us multiple times and kept us after glasses filled. Food came to the table quickly. We received 5-star service! I ordered the Country Ham Steak & Eggs. The eggs were light and tender. The ham was tasty. My only complaint was that the generous serving potatoes were overly salty for me. My husband had the popular Brown County Breakfast. He loved the generous portion of smokey bacon and the freshly made biscuit. (Order the biscuit!) The local eggs were cooked to perfection. Early in the morning, we were able to find free street parking. Later in the day, nearby parking is $5.

It's from the 60s and probably hasn't changed since they put it up 65 years ago. There's a whiteboard on the back wall with the special for the day written out. Bacon egg and cheese omelette or a sausage egg and cheese sandwich on toast. Five dollars. The kind of place with a few locals sitting at a booth having their morning coffee, one of the waitresses offering Jim the last donut because they know he will want it. He accepts it. This is, in my mind, a classic American small town diner. The kind of place I grew up, eating in my hometown of 500 people. It's not high cuisine, there's nothing fancy about the food although I did come across a few things I had never seen before on the menu. Fried mush. Meat grits specials, like the scuttle butt and the chili Bob. An age old, but perfected recipe of eggs, meat, cheese, and a starch either potatoes ( homefries) or toast. The coffee is weak and not much flavor to it but, to be honest, it's exactly what you would expect in a place like this and there's something comforting about that. Honest, simple food made day and a day out, catering to the local crowd and a few roadway, travelers like myself who happen to come across it. There's a certain charm and depth to places like this that have been lived in day and day out by the same people for decades. For those like up rounded, there's the nostalgia and connection to the many other people having the same experience day after day in communities across the United States. Forgive me if I wax nostalgia can get a little sentimental here, but this morning's dining experience definitely elicited that for me. I hope you can find your own version of this sometime today or in the near future.
