Just opened up where the farmhouse used to be, across from EV. Ate there yesterday and I came to say that you must go and you must try their sweet potato fries with a side of praline sauce. You will blowthank me later



Also they get their liquor license today. Have you a drank too.

farmhouse wasn't across from East village?

8/27/2009 4:39:03 PM

Will visit next week

8/27/2009 4:39:42 PM

Farmhouse had some shitty pizza.

8/27/2009 4:39:52 PM

yes, next to zaxbys. i thought that building was about to collapse, if the farmhouse moved out of it.

8/27/2009 4:39:54 PM

i heard they were gonna close at midnight every night and didn't want to attract the college crowd

8/27/2009 4:40:11 PM

damn, I thought farmhouse was behind ihop?

8/27/2009 4:40:35 PM

^ wrong farmhouse

8/27/2009 4:42:09 PM

Farmhouse was a shit hole. The way they upfit this place already makes 10x better than FH

8/27/2009 4:42:14 PM

8/27/2009 4:43:08 PM

there is two farmhouses? Where the fuck have i been? Don't answer that.

8/27/2009 4:43:29 PM

I read the title of this and figured they blew up a water pipe and it was flooding there.

8/27/2009 4:44:11 PM

yea is this supposed to be some quentin tarrantino burger place

i think they referenced it in deathproof too (not pulp fiction specific)

8/27/2009 4:45:07 PM

Will visit when I get back from ohio. I love sweet potato fries

if this is true, why would they open on hillsborough? seems kind of dumb to me.

8/27/2009 4:54:38 PM

agreed. no one goes to hillsborough street except college kids and hobos. and indians.

dot, not feather.

8/27/2009 4:56:01 PM

They know they're getting the college crowd, it'd be impossible not to. And if there's a big crowd around at midnight, he's obviously not gonna close down. All stuff they're figuring out as they find their niche in the Hillsborough market. Personally I'd end up there a lot more often if they did discourage the young kids somehow, might make that end of Hillsborough worth visiting again.


anyway it's a really chill spot with a comfortable deck and good food. definitely check it out.

8/27/2009 5:04:17 PM

man i havent been to H-Boro in awhile. Always stick with my crowd at Bada/Ruckus when i come to visit. Perhaps i'll make it out there next weekend

8/27/2009 5:09:33 PM

a gift wrapped turd is still a turd

8/27/2009 5:21:32 PM

if they didn't want the cheap, college student crowd then why did they decorate the building with the luau aisle from party city?

8/27/2009 5:28:49 PM

IT'S MY BUILDING - I DO WHAT I WANT

8/27/2009 5:30:25 PM

do they have hamburgers with grilled pineapples on them?

8/27/2009 6:21:01 PM

one of my friends works at brickhouse and told me several months ago that the owner of the big kahuna was in there talking to one of the bartenders and said he had been going to several of the bars/restaurants on hillsborough and was talking with the employees there about the area. he said that he wanted to attract an older crowd and close up at midnight. i heard about this back in maybe february or march, so maybe the guy's plans changed. i hope for his sake that they did because it's not exactly in a very good spot to attract an older crowd.

8/27/2009 7:24:09 PM

i'm lookin at the logo and i'm thinkin that they're trying to attract the corona-drinkin shaggy-haired shorts-wearin flip-flop dude crowd

i'm not hating... that's just what comes to mind

8/27/2009 7:49:26 PM

marko already has a permanent table reserved

8/27/2009 7:53:00 PM

^^haha. I thought that too! I kind of wanted to check it out.

[Edited on August 27, 2009 at 7:53 PM. Reason : fdf]

8/27/2009 7:53:07 PM

holy shit, I thought you meant FH closed down and then changed. It's still there, right?

8/27/2009 9:07:08 PM

^ yeah. probably still smells like vomit too.

8/27/2009 9:22:30 PM

This place...I will check it out.

have you even been there or is your clever assertion based entirely off the one picture in this thread?

8/27/2009 11:03:17 PM

i, too, will check this place out

8/27/2009 11:07:31 PM

I came in here to post that Farmhouse sucks ass...

8/27/2009 11:16:46 PM

i drove by the place and saw the paper party favors taped to the fence, looked like aisle 5 at party city

8/27/2009 11:18:35 PM

oh haha i haven't seen that


doubt that'll stay long, they did just get their liquor license

8/27/2009 11:28:51 PM

actually i'm probably about to head up there if they'll be open, i'll find out here in a sec.. anyone down?

8/27/2009 11:29:56 PM

were they closed at midnight?

8/28/2009 12:15:37 AM

Been waiting for this to open for a while.

8/28/2009 1:06:31 AM

wasnt closed when i drove by at midnight. it was completely surrounded by people.

8/28/2009 1:10:56 AM

^ guess plans changed.

This is relevant to my interests.

In fact, I would venture to say it's retarded to hope to draw in that sort of crowd when you have an ample supply of youngins with maw and paw's money burning a hole in their pocket.

I loved their pizza and that giant plastic cup of beer.

8/28/2009 11:39:43 AM

ate there for dinner tonight, its really small but it seems pretty chill. the porch will be a nice place to eat when its not raining. they were out of sweet potato fries but the big kahuna burger was good (a little salty though). i hope they aren't planning on throwing away late night money, its got a decent layout for being a bar (plenty of standing room if they push a couple tables back) the windows behind the bar are actually doors that open up so it makes the place really open and seem a lot bigger. should be a good place for cool summer or fall evenings.

8/28/2009 7:13:57 PM

had lunch there today. I like the layout and indoor/outdoor bar. the place has a lot of potential.

if the closing at/around midnight is true, I don't think they'll last long at all.

There are a few areas where they need to improve:

1.) Hide some fly traps somewhere or have torches.
2.) They had a lot of empty taps - where the hell is the beer?
3.) The staff seemed unhappy/put out. I'd prefer a more upbeat staff
4.) Where are the TVs?
5.) Turn up the music. Barely audible music is annoying
6.) Improve customer greeting/beginning of service. There were three groups there (including us) for a total of about 10 people. We were the only ones inside, the two bartenders/servers were behind the bar and we sat there for about 5 minutes before being noticed.

I will forever boycott anything related to that building and to the farmhouse due to the farmhouse's takeover of Cantina, Raleigh died a little that day
