The Farmhouse Cafe' & Mercantile

Knocked it out of the park again! I’m usually pretty picky about chicken spaghetti, but this one was soooo good. My husband said the fried fish is some of the best he’s had. And the green beans, the BEST! Love this place!

I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast. I ordered an omelette which is my “go to” breakfast choice and I think it was one of the best I have had in a while. It was moist and tasty. Our server was extremely friendly and attentive. Would definitely go again!

Loved the breakfast at the Farmhouse. They had the coffee pouring, locals were greeting each other and kitchen was slinging breakfast! Desserts in the fridge case. Loved the French toast and breakfast sandwich.

This is our favorite spot in town. Everything on the menu is amazing and the staff is so wonderful! Today we got the club sandwich (a favorite in our household) and I got the special plate with chicken salad on a croissant, tomato basil soup and fruit salad. The club sandwich is always perfectly made. It’s stacked so high it’s always funny to see how the kids try and eat it. My plate was perfect for lunch. The chicken salad was finely shredded and on a small croissant. The tomato basil soup is without a doubt some of the best ever! The fruit salad was amazing, all the fruit was perfectly ripe and tasted wonderful! To top it off we got the key lime cheesecake bites and all I can say is WOW! My kids were silent the entire time they were eating it minus a few “yummmms”. This is a wonderful little gem sat right in the middle of Bay City.

Love this place!! I have been a handful of times & everything is always amazing! Get here early if you want some of the famous chicken & dressing because I missed out but the meatloaf was out of this world also!

The food is always great! This time we got a mushroom Swiss burger & steak fingers. Best burger my husband has had in a long time. Everything we have ordered is fresh & reminds me of an old fashioned diner

We were passing thru Bay City and accidentally ran across this place. It was about 9:30 and we were looking for breakfast. The place was empty and we were seated right away and well tended to by our server who we thoroughly enjoyed talking to. There are many great things on the breakfast menu to choose from, but I chose the hash brown supreme. It was a large serving of hash browns with ham, and sausage and bell peppers and two eggs served on top. It was a very large portion and I was unable to finish it, which is rare. My wife got a plate with two eggs, two pieces of bacon, hashbrowns and she got a side of grits. The only thing I tried off of her plate were the grits, and they were cooked perfectly. When we got ready to leave, we got a piece of lemon meringue pie and a pecan pie to take home. We ate the pies later in the day, and they were amazing. I would go out of my way to swing by just to buy some pie the next time I’m passing through town. There is lots of seating and there is an extra room with even more seating. I spoke to the server about lunch and she said they get very busy and they even have a salad bar. I would imagine that around lunch time you may have a little difficult time finding parking. The lunch menu looks really good and the next time we’re headed back to Houston and pass by in the middle of the day we will stop and try lunch with them. We really enjoyed this stop and look forward to coming back many times.

Got the Swiss Mushroom Burger... Delish! First time here and I'll definitely be back to try other stuff. Staff are great, decor is lovely and food was amazing. Can't wait to try more! *Update: I already went back, and tried some other stuff. Got the appetizer sampler platter with fried cheese curds (first time having them, and they're so good!), jalapeno cream cheese corn nuggets and fried green beans... All awesome. Hubby's first time there, and he had the chicken fried steak dinner. So good! I got the mushroom Swiss burger again, because it was so good the first time, I had to have another even tho it's been less than a week since I had the first. Also, got some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and the strawberry cream cheese with cookie crust for dessert to go. I have nothing but good things to say about this place!
