Farm 255

The SO and I came by on a quiet Tuesday evening right at opening time (5:30pm sharp!). We were delighted to discover that the evening's special was fried chicken dinner (yum). By 5:40pm there was already a small line at the door of folks waiting to be seated, and by 6:20pm the restaurant was sold out of the special of the day (talk about going like hotcakes). The SO and I munched on chicken liver, pickled veggies, and a selection of cheeses while we guessed at the name of the chicken we were about to eat. The food was spot on (fresh cherry tomatos that taste like tomatos? WOW), fresh and colorful, and of course tasty. The chicken liver mousse was creamy, with just a hint of tartness in the brandy jelly that topped it. The mash potatoes that came with the fried chicken was some of the smoothest I've ever had.

Farm 255 follows the same farm to table beliefs as Farm Burger in Atlanta, supporting local farms, and serving only fresh and local veggies and meats. There's something so comforting about knowing where the meat on your plate came from, and that the veggies you are eating came from a local farm with a cute name. From chatting with some locals it sounds like this restaurant stays pretty busy, and it's got plenty of repeat visit appeal with the regularly changing menu (always a new surprise).

The drink of the day was a Farm Pimm's Cup - if you see it on the menu, definitely get it. It was refreshing and delicious.

Very cool place.
Had a lovely mojito here.
Also tried their broiled peanuts which was delicious.

Had buttermilk ice cream here, that was good but what was even better was the salty caramel!

The Farm Burger is the BEST burger we have ever had anywhere, period. And consistent over the years.

Some other items hit or miss but homemade olives also always fab.

Not great for picky kids if you don't happen to hit a pasta night and they don't want/eat burgers.

I prefer Heirloom for farm-to-table creativity but have enjoyed many an interesting option here, especially convenient for late-night pre-music grub or desserts.
