We had a fantastic experience at The Farmers Union, specifically exploring their vegetarian offerings. Every dish we tried was impressive, starting with a comforting and rich tomato soup that was perfectly seasoned. The mushroom empanadas were a highlight, offering a great savory crunch and wonderful flavor, and the beet salad was incredibly fresh and well-balanced. It’s a great spot for anyone looking for high-quality meatless options in a lively, welcoming setting. Even sticking strictly to the vegetarian side of the menu, we left feeling completely satisfied and had a wonderful time.

This was a fantastic place! Upon entering it’s a beautifully decorated restaurant bar & very inviting when you enter the doors. Greeted & seated immediately, we were there around 1pm for lunch. The menu had so many good choices it was hard to pick. We got the buttermilk ribs for an appetizer & omg I wanted another plate right after we finished them. They just fell off the bone & were fried to perfection. The sauce it comes with was a nice pairing as well. Then we got a burger, again, cooked to perfection & had nice toppings for it as well, the pickled onions was a nice touch. Loves this place & I will definitely be back for those buttermilk ribs!!

We came to The Farmers Union with a rather large group and are so glad we made reservations ahead of time—it was packed! We ended up having two extra people with us, but the staff was incredibly accommodating and found a way to seat us all together by pulling in an extra table off to the side. Huge shoutout to them for that flexibility.
Even though they had us all order at the same time to help the kitchen stay coordinated, the food came out as it was ready—which is totally understandable given how busy it was. Each dish was absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor. The portions are generous—definitely sharable, especially for anyone who likes to try a bit of everything.
The decor is… quirky in the best way. Some items might make you do a double take, but it gives the place a fun, unique charm that makes it memorable.
Overall, great food, solid service under pressure, and a fun, eclectic vibe. Would absolutely come back—especially with a group!

Here for Super Bowl and enjoying the spicy prawn linguine, classic deviled eggs with crispy prosciutto and beef brisket Asada tacos. All three were off the charts! Sat at the bar and enjoyed the ambience of casual dining in a fun comfortable setting. Highly recommend.

Service and atmosphere was excellent. However I ordered a grilled cheese and while the tomato soup was good, the grilled cheese seemed to be welded together via microwave. Bread was cold and the sandwich was frozen in a slated state- like they melted the cheese in a microwave. The cheese was very thin. However the Brussels sprouts and sweet potato fries were good. Ordered a CAB but could have swore it was a red blend.

Loved this place for a laid-back but fun night out. It’s perfect for grabbing a few drinks and ordering a bunch of appetizers to share with the table. Everything we tried was flavorful and came out quickly, which kept the energy going. The ambience is lively and social — you can feel the buzz as soon as you walk in — but it’s still comfortable enough to hang out for a while. The service really stood out too. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure we always had what we needed. It felt easy and relaxed the whole time. This is the kind of spot that works for happy hour, casual date nights, or catching up with friends. We had a great time and will definitely be back for more.

The spicy shrimp linguine was flavorful and the meatballs were delicious. The Cesar salad was okay, I’d try the beet salad next time. Mocktails were delicious. The food was well prepared and came out fast. It’s a really cute date night or hang out spot.

Place has gone downhill by several accounts: Food presentation mediocre, receptionist not receptive to wishes, and main dishes not worth the money. Some of the salads – beet in particular – present a well and taste very good. It makes me wonder if the focus is just on the beer, which is still great with one of the largest selections on tap. I used to work a block away and take clients there. Won’t do that again.
