Farmer's Cafe

I came in n for breakfast and was absolutely delighted. Great hometown restaurant with Solis food and great friendly service. All three of us had something different and were delighted. Great pancakes, great omelette, perfectly done bacon and first class coffee.

For myself, I took advantage of the scrambled eggs and pigs brain. It sounds weird, but it was delicious and done well (which is somewhat of a challenge).  

I have not eaten there for anything but breakfast, but I will be back for that again, and dinner when I get a chance.

Definitely try this place if you are looking for an affordable comfort food lunch or dinner in Blackstone. I had the turkey and dressing with greens, baked apples and a roll. It was a large delicious meal that was very affordable. I will be going back.

Cheap, good eats. Breakfast served all day. Lunch and dinner options too. They have really good liver dinners on Tuesday and their chicken dinners on Thursday are a local favorite.

Poor service - waited close to 45 minutes for breakfast food.

Average food - I can cook better omelettes at home. I also had to substitute toast for my biscuit and still got charged full price.

Table behind us was served cold food, so they didn't eat and got up and left after a long wait.

From someone who's worked in the food and beverage industry, there are a lot of improvements to be made from a managerial standpoint in the kitchen and out on the floor with the customers. If this place had any good competition, it would have been out of business a long time ago.

Definitely a farmer's place to be. Nice kitchen for the locals. General Southern homestyle cooking. This place probably has more appeal to you if you grew up around here. After half-a-dozen visits I haven't had much luck finding something so good on the menu that I was compelled to come keep returning. Then again, I'm not a local farmer either.  My favorite item on the menu is probably the Mexican Salad and Hot Chocolate (It's really hard to be mediocre on Hot Chocolate). I was told the coffee is good too but I don't drink coffee.

This is a great home style restaurant. The daily specials are great for a change every day for lunch. The staff is great and checking on you frequently. For me this is just a good home style place for lunch. I would definitely give it a try.

Diner type food which all tasted really good and very reasonably priced.  Waitress was friendly and attentive and came back often to check on us.  Only issue was some of the fries were poorly cooked.

I came in with a party of 8 people. We all ordered at the same time, only 7 people received their food. There was a table of 8 soldiers behind us who ordered 10 mins after us received their food and finished as well while the lone person in our party still had not received their food yet.

We then watched other people come in, be served, eat, and leave.

The waitress then proceeded to tell the patron he still had to pay for half his meal. Even after we talked to the waitress several times about the meal, we still we informed that we needed to pay.

The patron left the food after it was brought out in a to-go box. I took the ticket and informed the person at the cash Register that we were not going to pay for the food b/c of the service we received. The waitress still had a very sh!tty attitude towards us, when all we wanted to do was eat.

What made things worse was that the patron who did not receive his food, was the one who recommended the place for us to eat there and he got the raw end of the deal.

The waitress needs to either be fired or have some more customer service training.

Great country food at reasonable prices. Sometimes you just want your good 'ol country food, and this location in downtown Blackstone is where you can get that hanker'in taken care of.  We came down here for lunch and everyone walked away satisfied.  I had the country fried steak with mac&cheese as well as fried okra. I found no faults with the food and the plate left my table completely empty (and then I spent the next 2 hours fighting the sleep-ies at work).

Simple menu and classic cooking. Not much more you can ask for.

Walked in about 1:45 PM, no one acknowledged us. A server walked past us to put silverware on other tables, and never even offered a menu or told us if we needed to go to the counter to order. This was the second restaurant in Blackstone that ignored us today. We left.
