Eating at Farmerbrown was like taking a trip to New Orleans.
Farmerbrown definitely has the Southern vibe. The place is decorated with urban arts and graffitis on the rusty corrugated walls. It has the gritty urban look but definitely clean. Both the ambiance and service are relaxed and friendly. During brunch, Farmerbrown treats the brunchers to a lively jazz band. Farmerbrown's fried chicken and the works are worth trekking the dirty and coarse Tenderloin.

Brunch is AYCE for $16.50 and quite a good deal! The buffet menu was short but each dish was done well. And unlike at many buffets where the food end up sitting under the heatlamp and become dry, there is high turnover of the buffet food at Farmerbrown. The FRIED CHICKEN is the star of the show with the following:
*Stoneground grits
*Biscuits and gravy
*Pancakes and syrup
*Bacon, Scrambled eggs and Fried potatoes
*Yogurt and granola
*Melons and Banana Bread for dessert
FRIED CHICKEN: Big chicken breast pieces along with occasional thighs and wings. They were piping hot. The skin was crispy while the meat was moist and tender without the greasiness. The best part, there was no trace of grease. They were cooked welll and tasted really good but lacking in spices.

STONEGROUND GRITS: These grits at FB were creamy and so flavorful. I even tasted cheese but I was not sure. I loved it and could eat a few bowls of these grits!
YOGURT AND GRANOLA: Served individually in mason jars. Nice healthy option.
Yogurt and granola, banana bread and another chicken wing for me! |
Our tab was $41 including 1 non-alc drink before tip.
THINGS TO REMEMBER:
*Farmerbrown is just a block away from the Powell station. It is best to take BART than drive
* Bring plenty of change for the meter and park as close as possible to FB.
* There is a parking lot behind FB for $15 which is almost as much as the cost of brunch per person.
* FB is located in the Tenderloin which can get quite intimidating for tourists or even locals. Best to not go alone at night.
