Farm House - Chapel Hill

A Chapel Hill classic.... Farmhouse is great. While it might not be considered a high-brow steak-house, it is still most definitly an establishment worthy of regard. Farmhouse is a classic, all-American restaurant. The people, the decor, and the food, make this place a real treat. Try it.

I hadn’t heard of Farm House restaurant before, but my husband suggested last weekend that we give it a shot. Thank goodness for GPS, otherwise I don’t think we would have ever found the place. It’s north of Chapel Hill, a ways off 40. When you see Allen Son you turn in onto Millhouse Rd, then right before you cross the railroad tracks, you turn into a small, 1 lane gravel driveway. The parking lot is more gravel, and the walkway to the restaurant is even more gravel, so don’t wear your fancy shoes. We were a bit confused a bit as to where the entrance was, as it all looked like just a solid wall of wood. But yes, there is a large wooden door that swings outward, with a nice little sign asking you to please close it.

The interior reminded me a lot of Angus Barn, except it was even more rust

Great steakhouse with a friendly staff been around since 1969. Owned by the same family for generations! This place is a hidden Jem.

Look: they've got essentially one thing on the menu, and it's steak. There's some apps, and they're fine. There's a salad and a potato, and they're fine too. The wine and beer list exist. They won't change your life. You come here for steak. (Which comes on a sizzler plate, so maybe order rarer than you usually do. They do this one thing and they do it exceptionally well, and for the price of a far lesser steakhouse. 12/10, will steak again. (Ps: that's cheese and a chicken liver pate as your complimentary dips.

One of the best ribeyes around! The Farmhouse in Chapel Hill/Hillsborough area is out in the woods off a narrow gravel road. Very casual but the service and food were excellent! Our first course was a plate of pate’ and cheese dip with carrots, celery and crackers; so tasty. I had an ice cold beer with my dinner but the steak was outstanding! Even the baked potato was great. Two suggestions: 1. ditch the carpet. It looks old and musty. 2. add burgers and grilled chicken sandwiches. We were too full to eat dessert but will try later. While it’s a little pricey: tax, tip, 2 beers, ribeye dinner for one about $40, we will be back.
