The Homestead - Ketchup - New American Near Me - Farmington, Maine

Um What? This place is terrible we ordered the Bacon Chicken Waffle Sandwich Supposed to come with fries =they did not put fries Supposed to come with chicken = It was burnt and they for some reason tacked on $4.50 for the chicken - Nothing on the menu said "add chicken $4.50" and lets not forget the syrup =$6 for a 1oz cup and again nothing on the menu said "add syrup $6" The fries are clearly frozen fries at least for a $30.50 plate you could have thrown in a ketchup packet for cryin out loud- Do not waste your money or time read more

Visiting from Dallas and stopped in for Happy Hour. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sat at the bar which has a cool vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was excellent, especially at the bar where Jacklynn made us feel welcomed and appreciated. Ended up staying for dinner and the food was fantastic. read more

i came in the other day for my birthday very excited because i have heard good things. my server Cally though was very rude to me and also had her hair down which was pretty gross in my opinion. it almost felt like she was looking down on me and was taking a long time to take my order. food was good though but i wish my server was nicer. read more

Been several times for lunch and their food is delicious! Portions are very small. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One bad thing is that the food takes a long long time to come. read more

Excellent all around! We had the Burrito Bowl and Bacon Bacon Burger, both were very tasty. They have some great cocktails too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seating was quiet and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Our favorite Farmington area restaurant is always a good choice. The food is flavorful;the cocktails different (but not really weird), and the team is friendly and attentive. Our server, Jordan, quickly got our cocktails while we looked at the specials. My winter gin cocktail was tasty and looked great. The truffle lemon artichokes and balsamic glazed roasted Brussels were a great start and a full meal for my wife as well. I chose the bbq bahn mi - loved it. Had so much bbq pork, and the cilantro, jalapeño, and pickled carrots added some spiciness. Am glad it was on a fresh baguette - too often they aren't at other restaurants read more

Surprised at how great this place is. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lovely interior.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great food and service. Nice restaurant

Warm welcome at the front door on a chilly afternoon. Great service, wonderful hospitality, the burgers were great, the fish and chips better than average by far. Great owner and staff. Nice to eat somewhere you can tell the team cares. Great choice if you're in Farmington or nearby. read more

Delicious food and great service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Kind of the only upscale-ish place in town.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good cocktails too

We have been to the Homestead three times now as we passed through Farmington. The food has been consistently good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere strives to be classy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff have always been very nice and go out of their way to be accommodating. The sandwiches are big enough to share if you are not starving. The soups are particularly good, especially the chowders. read more

This place has such potential. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very nice and comfortable inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The hostess was very nice and we were seated right away. The waiter was personable and attentive when he was not running, but obviously over stretched. After waiting for food for half an hour he brought rolls and an apology. Another half hour and the food arrived. My husband enjoyed his salad very much and the first few bites of the Chicken Parm was delicious and then it tasted smoky. I looked at the under side and found it was burnt, the 2nd one was worse. I didn't have time to wait for another, so I scraped off the breading and finished it and some pasta. When I showed the waiter he immediately went to his supervisor to see what could be done and they gave me a choice of getting another or a reduction in my bill. I saw the supervisor taking the burnt one in for the chef to see. I truly appreciated their making it right procedures. read more

The food was tasty. I ordered the baked haddock and shrimp dish. The portion was incredibly small. They offer a petite size and an entree size. I thought they maybe messed up and gave me the petite size. When the bill came, it was confirmed that they charged me for the entree size. We may come back, but I definitely won't order this again. I left hungry and disappointed. read more

Went with my family and 2 grandkids. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere was wonderful[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but the food was awful. We ordered steaks and some vegetables dishes. When our meals came presentation was good but when we bite into our meals they use way too much salt and tons of cheese. Will not go back. read more

We went here with friends for lunch and no one was disappointed.We sat at an outside table on a pleasant day. Our young server was stretched a bit with also having inside tables to serve, but she was very nice and accommodating, and we had a good chat while we were waiting through the various stages of the meal. I had the Reuben and it was excellent and the French fries were fine. I ordered a side of onion rings and they were a bit more crunchy than I prefer, but you can't win them all. It could even be the way they were intended to be, and you might prefer them that way. The draught beer seemed a bit pricey for my budget ($8), but they had several Maine brews to choose from along with bottles, wines and other drinks. I stuck with water this time. Our friends were happy enough with their choices (which by the way were somewhat limited to pub food). One had a turkey sandwich and the other a chicken salad. Their in house potato chips were pretty good. So if we find ourselves in college-town Farmington a few more times for lunch I would not hesitate to return there. But you know how it is: our next visit or two will find us trying out different restaurants! read more

Very efficient, accommodating and friendly staff. The menu has excellent variety and the ingredients are fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We enjoyed a table for two in a comfortable corner of the bar with pleasant surroundings including comfy seating, candles and plants.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would definitely recommend and will return. read more

Nice place in center of town. Brussel sprouts were amazing. No kids menu but they were able to do pasta with butter. They have some half sandwiches, so 1/2 BLT was good for kids too. Nice staff. Quiet and spacious, with a nice bar area separate from dining. read more

So the first time I came here I ordered the French toast as well, but it was delicious. This time it was dry and the service was Meh! I raved about this place the first time but I was not impressed at all this time. I also ordered two chicken breast on the side and was given a portion of chicken for a chicken salad?! Very disappointed but these are the breaks when different people are cooking your food. Nothing to see here. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance & decor is very modern & clean as well as the rest rooms!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The waitress was pleasant & knowledgeable! Some of the food is very trendy with too many spices! The best was the baked fish! The sandwiches, except for the BLT which was very good, are too over filled with sauces, so difficult to eat! read more

The food here is amazing! Brunch is great and so is dinner. I loved the salmon bowl it's one of my favorite meals ever. The service is good and most of the waitstaff is super kind. The drinks are great as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is nice but a tiny bit dark at night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A little pricey but great for a special dinner :) read more

We had dinner as a family here recently and it was absolutely wonderful. The food, drink and service - all fabulous. I am so thankful we have innovative food at a nice restaurant local to us. That said, it's a shame that the parents of a spoiled 12 yo feel it's necessary to malign the only fine dining restaurant we have in the area because their brat can't sing at open mic night anymore. Check your privilege. Most bars and restaurants that serve alcohol don't allow under age kids in after 9 anyway. read more

Good food, friendly staff but slow service. We were not in a hurry and enjoyed dinner.

I liked the atmosphere. Open. Comfortable. My prosciutto wrapped haddock was yummy - as were the green beans and risotto. Our server was friendly but didn't hover. I'd definitely visit again. read more

Really great!! They were accommodating of our dog on the patio and even waited on her to bring water (too cute) - and the food was amazing! Cocktails are a bit sweet. Good for a before or after meal drink, but could do with a few classics on the menu without frills. Would definitely come back. read more

The Homestead - Mac n cheese with added braised short rib - New American Near Me - Farmington, Maine

I've been here a ton and should let people know that this place has really gone through multiple changes over the years. If you read reviews from even 3 years ago just FYI, they're really talking about a different place entirely. I've seen it in periods where it has been both good and bad. I think they're in a period where everything is really working right now. The place can fill up pretty quickly on the weekends. Keep that in mind. If so, you may wait to get a table, and when seated a longer wait for food than normal...which is kind of typical of any place really. Most times I've been here it's been a typical or normal wait that you would expect for non pub food. In other words, these are prepared meals. The service folk are friendly, helpful and do a good job in my opinion. My feeling is the chef is now focusing on the food and not a wealth of choices on the menu. This is good and bad. I suppose. I've noticed the food prep gets better and better all the time and the flavors are getting more interesting. They change the menu around, which can be seen as good and bad. I like that I can try new things, but also miss faves that have been replaced. Good drink selections. The place itself is very comfortable. Tables and booths situated far enough from each other to have conversation easily. Open space with a cozier side with the bar. read more

Food was great. Loved the service! Super sweet!! Fave part of the meal was going to the bathroom and seeing the missing parakeet poster. (Hope that boi gets read more

What a great restaurant. The decor feels city but the people neighborhood. there's so much that looks delicious on the menu. Hard to decide! Waitstaff is always warm and professional. We're lucky to have the homestead in Farmington. read more

They remodeled after Covid and the new decor is nice. Food isn't what it used to be...palatable, but nothing that makes you think you MUST return soon. Bartender wasn't sure how to make an Aperol Spritzer so I received a glass of just champagne. It's kind of becoming a last resort place for dinner. read more

I've been here a few different times. The quality of food and service varies each time. This time, I got the spinach artichoke dip to start, it was good. but it needed more spinach to be considered a spinach artichoke dip in my book. and for 13 dollars I expect more dip! My burger was good, but I ordered it medium rare it came out well done.. no pink whatsoever.. it was good quality beef and the toppings were yummy but all and was all disappointed to have it overcooked. my server was very polite and timely! Farmington does not have many upscale-ish restaurants, so the homestead is nice because it offers more than just wings and fries. read more

The service was horrible. So slow and ever came around to check on drinks the whole 1.5 hours we were there.

Driving to "The Loaf".... Utilized yelp app on iPhone, search for breakfast, current location. A few locations came up, we came here... The place was empty. Not an awesome sign... We had really good, very friendly service. The atmosphere was nice and everything. The food NG. - no good. Everything had a very greasy taste to it. The bacon was saturated in grease, the eggs had a funky taste to them. The pancakes tasted like they were deep-fat fried. They charged a whopping 2 dollars extra for "Real Maine Maple Syrup" - really?... I was hoping to have a really hearty fulfilling breakfast prior to hitting the slopes at the loaf but left there not feeling so hot. Later on the slopes the acid-reflex from the greasy grease came back and hurt me... Would I go there again? No, no I wouldn't. Would I recommend it? No, no I wouldn't. read more

Awesome. Great service and the food is delicious. Priced right as well. This is a gem tucked away in the mountains. I highly recommend. Spacious, clean and inviting. Looking forward to trying the baked goods someday. read more

Excellent food and service. The Homestead Restaurant in Farmington Maine is beautiful and cozy, you will feel right at home eating homemade dishes here!! read more

I would have given it 5 stars for the food, but our waitress way snotty and snarky from the beginning. Before we even sat down she was rude about the fact that we needed a table for 8, which required her to put 2 tables together. I'm not sure what the problem was, but we did enjoy the food. My mother had biscuits and gravy and they were amazing. The hash was very good, just a small portion. The Eggs Benedict was just ok to me. read more

Stumbled on this place while looking for a quick lunch in Farmington. They have a very spacious dining area and a menu that's quite diverse, from burgers and sandwiches to items with some ethnic flair (Moroccan, etc). Service was very friendly, although our food took some time to arrive. I tried the roasted vegetable gyro, which has broccolini, squash, onions, peppers, cheddar, and tzatziki in Naan bread. The broccolini was a little hard to bite or chew through, but it tasted fresh, and the cheese was a little overpowering against the other flavors. I opted for a side of sweet potato fries, which weren't completely crisp enough. We also tried one of the "best burgers ever" - the basic homestead burger. It was good, but probably not the best ever. The bun was mediocre, but a topping of candied bacon added a nice punch of flavor. read more

We found this little restaurant along the way home back to New York from Sugarloaf. It was the perfect spot to stop at, as there didn't seem to be much of anything else that we were on the road for the hour or so. There are 15-20 tables situated in the large main room and then another ~10 tables situated in the smaller room to the right which is beside the bar. The rooms are bare and simplistic, almost giving you the impression that the establishment is temporary with exception to the bar area. For my breakfast entree, I ordered the Meat Lovers Omelette ($8.59) which is a hearty choice consisting of what felt like 3 X-Large eggs loaded with a generous serving of ham, bacon, sausage, and Vermont cheddar topped with hollandaise sauce. Mmmm. I was amazed at how tasty my omelette was, with just the right amount of meat to make it substantial without being overwhelming. The cheese and hollandaise sauce took it over the top, which I found myself eating every last bit of this delicious omelette. Complimented on the side is a serving of home fries cut in cube-like fashion and choice of their own homemade breads, which I decided to try the Anadama Bread, which is made from cornmeal and molasses. The 4 halves of Anadama Bread were sliced very thick, giving the impression as if I were eating 8 halves of bread. Definitely a hearty meal that will not disappoint. Another added bonus that I did not expect when I asked for hot sauce, was that they also had Sriracha Hot Sauce in addition to Tabasco Hot Sauce. The Sriracha complimented perfectly with my omelette to give it a nice dose of heat. Who would have known that the little town of Farmington with no Asian population, from what I could tell, has a killer hot sauce in stock. Our waitress was very attentive as she refilled our cups of coffee and checked up on us occasionally to make sure everything was great. She even offered to break up our bill 4 ways when we asked for the bill, which was very accommodating. I'd have to say that Homestead Bakery was a definite winner in my book, and will stop by again when in the neighborhood. It's a local restaurant serving fresh local vegetables, freshly baked breads, cakes and pastries, and an eclectic selection of draft beers. With fairly cheap prices, hearty dishes, and great table service, there isn't much to dislike about this place, except for possibly jazzing up the decor of the establishment as it feels far from cozy. A minor nuisance for an enjoyable meal. read more

I've eaten here twice; once for a late breakfast and once for a late lunch. (I guess there's a theme there.) For breakfast I had the Thai Wonder Eggs. This is a scramble with broccoli, onion spinach, tomato, green pepper, mushroom, home fries and cheddar. The only thing 'Thai about it' is that is is served with a sweet chili sauce. This is not a complaint, as the combination was quite good. I particularly like the fact that they shred the cheese extremely finely so it really melts into the scramble. It came with a very good raisin toast from the bakery. From 2-4 they have a 'late afternoon' menu with a limited selection of items. I had a pulled pork sandwich, which was served on a brioche roll. The brioche roll is a bit of a cliché, but this particular roll was fairly light. The sandwich was served with some very good French fries. Service was efficient and quick. My water glass and coffee cup were kept full. I'll definitely go back next time I'm in Farmington read more
