I have travelled in for breakfast a few times now and when listen when I say this place is a diamond in the rough! Blink and you might miss it but if you're lucky enough to stop in you will leave full of delicious home cooked food! And with a smile on your face from the great service and environment. Our recent stop was for pancakes before school and some time to study vocabulary words...not a bad combo for a kid if you ask me. My only draw back is that parking is tight during certain times of the day, but if the lot is full it's because people know how delicious this place is!! Did I mention everything is farm to table and you can even purchase some local meats here during certain seasons. read more

1/14/26 I came to Farm Kitchen my second time visiting, and once again, it was an amazing experience from start to finish. They offer fresh, farm-to-table food at a very affordable price, and you can genuinely taste the quality and care that goes into each dish. Everything feels thoughtfully prepared and consistent, which is why I couldn't wait to return. The atmosphere really sets this place apart. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. It's also a Christ-centered restaurant, which adds a meaningful positive element to the overall experience. I ordered the meatloaf the first time I came and it was absolutely amazing. Second visit, I got a bun-less burger and fries with green beans. Also got a biscuit and gravy and chocolate cake to go. Everything was delicious and so fulfilling. I can't wait to return, it's super yummy. If you're looking for great food, fair pricing, and a warm, uplifting environment, Farm Kitchen is absolutely worth a visit. I highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back again. read more

My family absolutely loves The Farm Kitchen. The food is truly a home cooked meal. We have enjoyed the many times we've shared a table with strangers and left feeling like we've always known them. The heart and sole of this place is more than a meal! You know when God is truly in a business read more

Family run place where everyone pitches in and is so friendly! Service was fast especially since they made the food to order. We ate there two days in a row when we were staying in the area and both days everything was delicious! First day hubby and I both got the Farmers breakfast and everything was perfect! Second morning we both got the sausage biscuit with cheese added. Biscuits were homemade (they were making more throughout the morning) and so delicious! read more

Such a cute diner. My family and I came for brunch and loved everything. This sweet little girl took our order, and other family members delivered it to our table. It was packed, and you can sit together like having a community meal. read more

Simple, delicious, flavorful menu! What a great spot. So glad we took the advice on here to NOT MISS THIS SPOT!!! Love that it's farm to table, locally owned and freshly prepared. Hands down the BEST french fries I've ever eaten - fresh cut, crispy on the outside- so much flavor. If I had to guess, I'd say they're fried in tallow, from the flavor - YUMMY! The burger was also spot on! Also loved the ambiance - it's evident they're believers and I so appreciated the peace and the scriptures within the restaurant read more

Terrific fresh baked biscuits and sausage gravy! Ordered a full order with 2 fresh buttery biscuits and covered with delicious sausage gravy. I didn't need to eat for the rest of the day. They do offer a 1/2 order for those who don't want to over do it. Service was great! Ordered at the counter and got my number. By the time I gathered my water and coffee at the self-serve beverage area my order was delivered. The dinning area is very comfortable with several large tables and a few 4 tops and 2 top tables. The large tables lend to the ambiance in that it invites other customers to sit together and get to know one another. Like a farmers table. read more

Food is incredible and homemade. The French toast is insanely good. The bacon is gourmet level. The family has a great recipe list and they are not afraid to use it! read more

The food was phenomenal! The special was a beef sandwich and we had it with French fries and Mac n cheese for sides. Everything was so absolutely delicious! I can't say enough. These were the best fries I've ever had. Don't miss it, I am planning to come back for breakfast. read more

I didn't fine there. I made a reservation for October for a group. Had good reviews and our church group is looking forward to it

A breakfast gem in Shelbyville. Farm fresh offerings that are sure to please. Beautiful fluffy biscuits, bacon from their farm and the best ever grits. I was so hungry I didn't take a photo, but I can assure you this little roadside restaurant is not to be missed. 39 read more

Stopped at the Farm Kitchen on our way to Lexington. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are going through Kentucky on I64. A couple of miles off the expressway through beautiful Kentucky rolling farm country. The food is all fresh off the nearby farms and home cooked. The people are friendly and the food is delicious. I had the biscuits and gravy. Huge fluffy biscuit drowned in a rich sausage gravy. Yummy! My husband had the farmers breakfast. The bacon was crispy and full of flavor, the eggs cooked exactly as he asked and fried potatoes crispy on the outside and perfect on the inside. Our only regrets were we were too full to try anything else on the menu. We will have to return to try the grits, pancakes, burgers and more. read more

My younger two kids and I were in Shelbyville visiting our horses. I've heard good things about "The farm Kitchen." We arrived 15 minutes before closing for lunch(2pm). Informed owner, Daisy, our first time there. She informed us to take out time and no rush. We ordered 3 of their 1/3 lbs burgers with Fried potatoes pieces and green beans. The burgers were tasty, delicious and full of flavor. Everything was delicious. Even after 2pm People still walked in and allowed to place orders but they pretty much sold out of some of their sides but Burgers seemed to be the option. We plan on coming back for breakfast as it's made from scratch pancakes and biscuits and Gravy. Very reasonable for farm fresh farm to table food. read more

This place is truly a gem. Family own, this restaurant has community vibes. We got the farmers breakfast and it was plenty of food for a large apatite. The tables are get in where you fit in making it highly enjoyable to interact with stranger willing to strike up a conversation. The prices are light on the wallet and I was offered a veteran discount without asking when the cashier recognized my VA card. S-Tier experience 9.7* read more

Deb found this place close to bullitt so we can grab some lunch before our tour. Very busy so be ready. Also it's fast casual so go up and order and get a number. Seating is family style mostly so grab the end of a big one if it's open! Menu is short. Burgers, fries and breakfast stuff. All looks very fresh. We got the farm boss burger this was a blend of beef and pork. 1/2 lb!! It was wood food. Anywhere else and this is a $15 burger...here $8. This place is so good! All of the 5 star reviews are well deserved. read more

Cute breakfast stop. From the farmhouse decor and friendly staff to the overflowing plate of amazing food that you can tell is made from scratch I would definitely recommend and stop again if ever passing through read more

You know that a place is good when the entire sheriff's department is having breakfast there. When we were getting out of the car, we were met by 2 deputies. They approached, looked us over, and said "You HAVE to get the grits. They are the best grits in the whole world." My friends had never had grits (they don't get out much), but I'm a connoisseur. We walked through the door and immediately knew we were in breakfast heaven. The food was great, the service was great, and it was clear that the "Defund the Police" movement had not encroached on Shelbyville -- all the deputies were working on the biggest breakfasts on the menu board. They were clearly not interested in enforcing child labor laws, because the whole family was working the tables. Biscuits and gravy were awesome, the bacon was just the right crispiness. Pancakes were intimidatingly large. The grits were indeed the best I've ever had. Grits skeptics might question how you can make something as simple as corn grits tasty, but KFC ain't the only secret recipe in Kentucky. Only my wife, an inveterate oatmeal fan, was disappointed by the protein and carbs focused menu. If you ever pass a "Welcome to Kentucky" sign in your travels, keep on going til you get to Shelbyville, and park on the shoulder until the sun comes up again. Then it'll be time to head to The Farm Kitchen. read more

This place is packed with lots of folks. My wife went with the meatloaf special with two sides. Mac n cheese and potatoes. It came with a huge biscuit. While I went with the cheese burger dressed and side of fries. It's lots to eat. We tried to get Cinnamon rolls but that's only on Saturday so I ordered cheesecake and peanut butter pie. This is a Military friendly location read more

Excellent farm to table breakfast, quick, a lot of selection. Enjoyed the cinnamon roll, biscuits and gravy. Pancake is huge!

It takes a bit of getting used to how the food is ordered/served/purchased, but the food here is fantastic breakfast diner food. Anything with sausage in it is great. It's spicy and excellent. Pancakes are good. Coffee is consistently very fresh and good. It's largely self-service on the coffee. You order at the counter, have a seat, and wait for a bit. We bring our kids here on an irregular basis and we always have a great meal. Don't skip the meat freezer in the back. They have a great selection of meats fresh from local farms. A great addition to Shelbyville! read more

This is a down home family run restaurant. They are super friendly and helpful. They serve a full breakfast and a few lunch items. I ordered the 1/2 lb burger and fries. It was huge and lots of home cut fries . Burger was fresh and juicy. Nice bun with all the condiments and veggies. Fries were warm and delicious. They also sell healthy fresh meats. read more

Such a gem! Full of locals. Priced well and everything tasted amazing. We will 100% stop here any time we are in the area.

Full parking lot. Full restaurant, bright and clean with many large tables with some very young out of school expeditors. Your given a table number after ordering at the counter. When your done, you pay at the counter. All good signs when a place is busy, but yet the meal was lack luster. Why? Biscuits were almost warm as was the heavy gravy, the homefries also were not hot. There was no coffee. they ran out of sweet tea (not very sweet) and maybe we were at the end of a rush, but seems like they should be better prepared. They had homemade cinnamon rolls that were kinda flat and overwhelming topped with icing, not great this day. The buger was big, toppings fresh and came out surprisingly fast. Hmmm. read more

Love,Love-Love this place . A must go to for breakfast, i do not normally eat Biscuits and Gravy- i tasted my son's food once and it was the Best I have ever tasted- now i know what the fuss is all about. The pancakes are terrific as are the traditional bacon and eggs. The Cinnamon Roll is soo tempting but so far I am too full at the end of the meal to get one. read more

Got a burger, pancakes, sausage biscuit, and the farmers breakfast. Everything was excellent, but the service was better. The youngest little girl brought out our order and I gave her a hard time (joking) and she played right along with my nonsense. Sadly we missed out on the cinnamon rolls, but when we were told they were out of potatoes we traded for blueberry compote on the pancakes. Big win! Great farm to table place, family run, what's not to like?! read more

This place is a MUST if you are in Shelbyville and looking for a great breakfast! It is family-run, everything is so fresh and wonderful. My son and I both had the Farmer's Breakfast. (2 eggs any style, biscuits and gravy, potatoes and meat, we chose sausage) The servings are large and the food is delicious. We were there on a Thursday morning for breakfast and returned the following day (Friday) for breakfast. I had been worried that there might be a big crowd after reading reviews, but we pretty much walked right in, ordered and grabbed a table. We had our food within 10 minutes of walking in the door. I can't say enough good things about The Farm Kitchen. Everyone working there is so friendly and welcoming! If you happen to be in Shelbyville when they are open, don't miss it! read more

Honey stop the car! The most amazing family owned and operated scratch kitchen in Kentucky! If you're from Shelbyville or just passing through, you've got to stop in for some country cooking. Everything on the menu is amazing. ALL homegrown raised meats, with from scratch biscuits & cinnamon rolls! Everything was fresh and delicious with amazing staff, owners and atmosphere. We will definitely be back for more! We only made it in for breakfast, but lunch started around 11 o'clock. There is also home-raised fresh beef, pork and chicken for sale! Thank you Farm Kitchen, we will be back soon! read more

Love it! A family owned and operated place with really great homemade breakfast. The biscuits and gravy were worth the drive. It was crowed and you have to fight for a seat, but that busted added to the experience. It super casual and well worth getting up a little early to grab breakfast or brunch. read more

Excellent food and service. I'll be back as much as possible. All home grown and a family run restaurant, it doesn't get any better than that. read more

First time here and I can't wait to go back! Why haven't I known about this special place. Breakfast this morning was an outstanding homemade breakfast. What's not to love about biscuits and gravy, bacon, eggs and potatoes! Atmosphere was so welcoming and friendly. Looking forward to trying their lunch specials. Love supporting a local business! And also a great freezer of chicken, pork and beef from their farm for sale. Going to stock up the freezer for sure! read more

We purchased two peanut butter cakes for our trip home back to St Louis Mo. The love put into these cakes is second to none. The flavor was out of this world and freshness was like a fresh summer day. I wish I lived closer to enjoy them more. read more

Great breakfast!!! Family owned and operated, everyone helps. The sausage and biscuits with gravy are very good!!!

Recently went here for breakfast on my way to sight see at the wineries near Shelbyville. When I tell you this is one of the best breakfasts I've ever had... The biscuits were made THAT MORNING and tasted like heaven. The sausage gravy was the best I've ever had and the eggs couldn't have been more perfect. If you've never been here I have to ask WHY?? WHY have you never been here? MAKE it a priority! read more

Please do not pass this place up! FARM TO TABLE FRESH! Everything comes from the owner's farm, and she is here cooking. Freshest pancakes and biscuits, sausage and bacon I've ever had. I'm glad I live so far away or I'd be here everyday. read more

Amazing food, great and friendly service! A great find at the last minute. Would drive out of the way to visit!

As a local this is my favorite breakfast stop, everything is fresh and you can taste it, however, my favorite part is the family atmosphere from everyone that works there to the community tables (you get to hear some interesting stories) its always an amazing experience read more

Come hungry! Very family friendly and welcoming place to eat, highly recommend. Family owned and operated, think I saw 3 generations of family members completing tasks. The food came out quick, hot and delicious. The burger was juicy and was a mixture of beef and pork which was unique and tasty. Fountain drinks available. Unfortunately they were out of the cinnamon rolls but still had peanut butter pie left! They had a large fridge for viewing and purchasing meats ranging from t-bones, ribeyes, burgers etc. Overall the service was friendly and clean. Really good value and would certainly visit again! read more
