This is a table service restaurant that caters and will deliver lunch. It has an expansive variety of metropolitan flared martinis as well as the old trusties measured by 3 fingers. They sample the local wineries offerings ranging in great wines, beers, and champagnes.
My wife and I ate here for dinner on a date night. It is located in a historic old building across from the courthouse, on a main street with plenty of parking. Our server, Brett, was very prompt, pleasant and efficient. I had the White Chedder Philly steak sandwich, which was delicious. My wife had the Chicken and Waffle, which was amazing!! The prices were very reasonable and the atmosphere pleasant. We will definitely be back!

Nice treat on a hot summer day. Had a "concrete," custard with mix-ins. It was really good, and I'm going to try to get back there before I leave town, to try another treat. There's a drive through and you can walk in.

Oh my goodness! I love this little restaurant. It has the best coffees, lattes, etc. And the sandwiches are divine. Lately I've been going after church on Sunday so I get a latte and a breakfast sandwich. I recently had a freshly baked cinnamon roll. Not my mom's cinnamon roll but the best I've had in a long time. Not a lot of seating but it's quiet and a comfortable place to get a nice breakfast or lunch.

The Factory Diner and The Factory Diner II are breakfast and lunch restaurants closing at 3:00pm. We like The Factor Diner II over the original restaurant because it's quieter. They have great breakfast food that is served all day. It's a cozy diner with booths. The perfect place to meet a friend for coffee and catching up!
I recommend their omelettes! I don't like the waffles and pancakes, too thick and dry.

If you are in Farmington and you don't go to Hunt's, it should be a crime. It's not only a deep rooted part of Farmington, but the food is great. The carhop girl we always get is a hard worker and super sweet. Only complaints are that they don't take credit or debit and the day/hours of operation aren't enough.
If you haven't had Hunt's then you need to get your butt there. You won't regret it.

We had a delicious meal at this restaurant. We chose the all you can eat catfish, chicken and shrimp dinner. It came with potato wedges, hushpuppies, coleslaw, and baked beans. We did ask for more catfish and chicken, because we liked it so much! (The fried shrimp was really good, but there was so much of it, that we didn't need anymore). Our drinks came in large jars, so no need for refills, but they we free for the asking. Good coffee in large mugs topped off our meal. We didn't have room for dessert, but their list of homemade pies and cakes sounded wonderful. It's a neat place to relax and enjoy a nice meal. Clean restaurant, with exceptional wait staff. Nice country decor, with many cool photo's all over the walls. A fun experience!

Their steak is always a disappointment. I do LOVE their rolls and onion blossom as well as their onion tanglers. Wish we had a better choice for steak houses.

This lovely family prepares authentic Thai dishes from fresh ingredients and willingly makes any changes your dietary needs may dictate. I ask for no salt in my dishes. A wonderful array of menu options, great portions for a dining in experience or carry out. You won't be disappointed.

So proud of owner Doug Thomas! He generously creates tasty sandwiches, using quality cold cuts and fresh veggies topped off on the most amazing loaf (created here local). As if the sandwich itself was not good enough, there are a wide variety of chips to choose from and scrumptious soup choices daily. When you leave you can feel great about your patronage, as you have just provided a child in need with a sandwich of their own. I have NEVER had a better sandwich and recommend the club with Ham, Turkey and BACON! Yum, Yum!

OK, to put this in perspective, I arrived about 35 minutes before closing time, and it was evident that Dexter's had experienced a massive crowd, with guests mingling & chatting around tables as they prepared to leave. I went to order at the counter, and found that they were out of brisket and chicken. Those were what I really went there for, but selected their pulled pork dinner. I found one clean table, and the server brought dinner fairly quickly. The service, despite being buried with a large crowd, was friendly. The pulled pork was largely average, and the sides of potato salad and green beans were quite good. The BBQ sauces came in 4 squirt bottles at the table, which were OK but not memorable. The ice cream at the end was self-serve and included in the dinner price. So overall, it was pretty clear they were a victim of their own heavy business the night I ate here, but the food was OK and the service friendly. If you're hungry for BBQ, this place is worth a try, just go a little earlier in the evening!
