In addition to the incredible food, great beer, and gorg. cocktails, staff is exceedingly accommodating of special dietary needs. Exec chef prepared a new, unique dish for vegan member of our party!
Curtis HillerApril 4, 2015Service is outstanding, especially at the bar. Cocktails were very good and interesting. Beef burger was a let down; bun was all wrong flavor-wise and over-charred. Would go back ands try the ribs.
Heidi GOctober 9, 2017Steak and the char-Both delicious. accompaniments were outstanding. Brussels--good as well, needed to be cooked a bit more. Good service--knowledgeable and attentive but not overly so. Good energy!
Chicago TribuneJuly 24, 2015The burger at River North's Farmhouse is refreshingly traditional, with a thick and juicy beef patty, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and onions. Read more
Autumn ChoiMay 6, 2019Mimosas are great and fantastic breakfast. Loved everything & the cheese curds too. Uses fresh & local ingredients.
Raksha RavikumarFebruary 26, 2014Yeah, so "Forest Mushroom and Poblano Pepper Old World Grains Burger" has a terrifyingly long name, but you should order it because it's great and you're great so it's meant to be.
Laura G.July 4, 2013Wonderful, wonderful farm to table experience. Burger was cooked exactly medium rare and the fried egg and cheddar were outstanding accompaniments. Perhaps the best burger I've had in Chicago.
Roberto De la PeñaDecember 29, 2017The white fish was incredible as well as the amish soup (great for winter!). Isidro mixes the best drinks so ask for him when you’re here.
ᴡ O.April 2, 2015Had the seasonal salad w/mixed herbs & grilled chicken. Yummy. They also serve Big Shoulders coffee too:)
rohan anandFebruary 2, 2013tried the eggs Benedict today with Bloody Mary - ask for their Co Op hot sauce to put on the dish - delicious! They serve a 200ML Rhinelander beer with the bloody!
Stephanie MattosAugust 9, 2014The cheese curds and pork loin are amazing! Get your pork cooked medium (chef's recommendation). Service is professional and friendly. Just go.
Mauricio RotaNovember 5, 2014excellent place to have brunch, the cucumber cocktail and the pork sandwich are the best
Christine LNovember 14, 2016The Bloody Mary comes with a cheese curd and a shot glass of beer on the side 👍 The Dutch Baby was delicious.
MikeSeptember 22, 2015Thoughtfully crafted farm-to-table brunch faire. A little on the expensive side for such small portions in my opinion, though. Decent Bloody Mary. Hoe cakes were on point.
Manolinho S.August 31, 2013Place is great! Support all local and midwest farms and everything is fresh and tastes great! All local and Midwest beers too!! TRY IT!
Kyle FowlerJuly 14, 2014Those cheese curds! Don't sleep on the fresh baked pretzel either with the spicy mustard. Great appetizers.
YasmineApril 26, 2013Make sure to make a reservation if you are going to bring a big party in! Other than that its a great place!
J.R. ReedDecember 23, 2018Hearty main dishes in a good setting w/great beer — also recommend Chicago + Franklin drink
Tom NawaraNovember 6, 2013Great beer selection. Try the pigs ears and cheese curds to start. The pork chop is amazing.
"Brews & Booze" are Farmhouse's Beertails: 'John Deere Beer' is a rockin Punch with a bubbly float of the Best Belgian Style White ever: Rooibos, Maple Sour, hum, Allagash White, Seasonal Fruit
A little pricey, but the fare is worth the cost. Locally source everything an great service.
Meg StrandFebruary 16, 2014Great atmosphere! Small seasonal menu, sort of expensive. Burger was good but very salty. Cheese curds are awesome!
Forget any sort of diet you're on and get the cheese curds. Surprisingly light, fluffy, cheesy, delicious. Do it now!
Janelle PetersNovember 10, 2014Great gastropub with an airy, sophisticated interior. Local sourcing adds to its charm.
Andrew BurchJanuary 13, 2013Everything is locally sourced and delicious! Drink menu is creative and tasty: try a Humdinger.
Erica GMarch 22, 2013Awesome beer list, and the cheese curds are amazing. Splurge a little, you won't regret it.
- Andrew SandlerFebruary 19, 2016I'd never had fried cheese curds before. Possibly life-changing. The sauce is addictive.
iSapien 1956672February 9, 2015I'm full, I'm drunk, some lady fell down the steps behind me and got knocked out. All in all a great first experience.
Lisa RoebkeApril 11, 2012Everything that we had was fresh and delicious! Our server, Andrew, was very knowledgeable. I would def. recommend!- Kourtney McCauliffFebruary 5, 2013Can't go wrong with the short ribs! If you get the cheese curds ask to be well done!
Laurence PaverdJune 18, 2012Number one in my books of restaurants within the loop. Local produce, excellent service, reasonably priced.
Abby MeixnerDecember 23, 2012Hearty farm to table meal that is super fresh. Also, their gin cocktails made me love gin.
Jake FergusonMay 17, 2013Cheese curds! Grass fed burger. Justin the server was awesome. Great time overall.
The cheese curds are dangerous. The drinks are delicious. The food, especially the chicken, is great.
Get the Farmhouse "Classic" w/bluecheese. Awesome! Plus there's a guy there who looks just like Kevin Smith (Silent Bob), lol.
Erich WiernaszNovember 14, 2014Cheese curds, Brussels salad, Pork tenderloin...pretty much everything.
My new fave Midwestern tribute bar! Everything local from il, in, mi and of course Wisco! Yeah! Great music too!
Noah ManionApril 29, 2014The "craft" schtick is weird, but the four grain burger isn't. It makes an excellent meal.- Farm to table. Great sides. Skip the burger and get other stuff
- The fabulous owner here, Ferdia is the guy who created the name and logo for hum, the World's Most Unique Rum, made right here in Chicagoland
