The Farmer's Wife - American restaurant in Brooksville - 1171 Howell Ave, USA

Great breakfast and lunch restaurant. Staff is super friendly. Food is meticulously prepared gourmet takes on vaguely southern American cuisine. The pricing is remarkably affordable for the quality of ingredients and preparation. I had a special with blueberry French toast, eggs, and bacon. The French toast was covered with a mildly sweet blueberry compote. The subtle flavor and fresh fruit flavors were almost European in restraint from being the typical overly sweet fruit topping for breakfast foods. Lemonade has a green-yellow tinge and is totally forgettable. I went back for brunch one week later. I had some fantastic pancakes with excellent crispy bacon as sides. My main dish was the farmer’s omelette with green peppers, mushrooms, and onions. Everything is cooked to order and made from scratch. They even indulged my request to have my order fried up in bacon grease. It takes some time, but the end result is approaching cafe perfection.

Love it here ! Cute little spot on the backroads of Brooksville. We had a large party so we weren’t able to sit together at one table. They were able to sit us next to each other so it wasn’t a big deal! The service was quick food was great. 5 stars ! I ordered a sloppy joe, one of the “ off the menu” items which was written in chalk above the sit down bar area. Super delish, lacked spice for my liking so I just added some with hot sauce. While we waited, I loved the trivia cards they have at each table. Great way to pass the time while waiting for the food. Definitely will be back next time im out here !

I don't do this often, but I have to give this place a big NO. Not a good experience at all. 👎 Is one star the lowest I can go? Prices are extremely high for what you get, and the choice is very limited. Besides the high prices, expect to pay extra for sides, even the breakfast is upcharged for any meats you want, and if you want fries with the $8.95 medium sized burger, it'll cost you an extra $2.75. A glass of iced tea will set you back $2.25, and the soda drinks come out of a can and do not have free refills. The scrambled eggs were like dried rubber, and the home fries were literally soaked in oil. Just do yourself a favor and drive the extra mile or so into town where there are several other restaurants which serve well cooked, nice food, and give you value for money.

Delicious food. Great caring service. Excellent value. The restaurant is located at the end of a small shopping plaza. Inside you’ll find a very down home and inviting atmosphere. All the food is fresh and cooked to order. Would highly recommend to people in the Brooksville area. The photos do not do justice to how good the food is.

We went in for breakfast and came out. I'm lunch! The menu is full of all kinds of homemade yummy things so it was hard to pick! I had to BLT with garlic aioli, husband had the homemade sloppy joe. Both were perfect!❤

My husband and I went with another couple. My husband said anything pumpkin is always a winner, the other gentleman thought his sandwich was small for the price, myself and the other lady we went had the avocado toast. I thought the avocado was very tasty, but i had the eggs scrambled, and they were dry. The other lady had her eggs over easy, and they were a little too easy.

Great country spot with friendly staff and fresh homemade food. Will definitely be back to try other items. Updated menu pictures with Biden era pricing

On our visit there was 5 of us for breakfast. This is a small restaurant, with a small menu. We observed 1 waitress, 2 cooks, and another person doing odds and ends. There was a ice machine, but the waitress was getting ice out of a small cooler. The small amount of ice in our drinks melted immediately and we were left with warm drinks. As more customers were sat the server of course was busy. The 2 cooks did nothing to help her and just stood waiting for orders to come in. The waitress delivered 4 out of 5 meals, stating that the biscuits and gravy would be out in a minute. However, the food was never delivered. As everyone else was done eating, we cancelled the biscuits and gravy. The food we did receive was just ok. I had a breakfast sandwich, the cheese was not even melted on it. Paying the bill there was no apologies for not receiving our entire order. Nothing. We will definitely not return to this restaurant. Poor teamwork, poor management, and mediocre food at best.
