“Amarith Farmhouse Restaurant & Pie Shoppe is a casual farm-to-table spot with a big menu, made-from-scratch dishes, fried chicken, and pies. They also have a farm where some of the restaurant's ingredients come from, which was pretty neat. They even let us try watermelon from the farm. In addition to the food, they also had lots of pies and even frozen chicken pot pies in the fridge/freezer.

You order at the front, and they bring the food out for you. The restaurant had a chill vibe with light music in the background. Just know that they can run out of items quite early. We went on a Friday around 6:30pm, and I wanted to try the Short Rib Pasta, but they didn't have it.

* Bone-in Fried Chicken 5/5 - This came out hot with crispy skin and a crunchy texture while still being light and juicy. I was thinking, it's just fried chicken, but it ended up being pretty good. You also get 2 sides to go with it.

*Brussel Sprouts side 4/5 - These tasted decent with a good texture.“

“This is the cleanest Chipotle I have ever been to. The servers were friendly, gave good portions and were very polite. I was concerned about the Jalapeno outbreak but even though the salsa had a few, it seems they are getting them from an alternate source. I felt great the next day, no prob. Get on over here for great meals.“

“So this will perhaps sound funny, but Del Taco is my favorite Mexican food restaurant. Yes that’s right, my favorite. Sure there are fancier restaurants with a larger menu selection but also a Hefty price. Del Taco has excellent food for a very reasonable price. But most of all they have “Bun Tacos” yes that’s a fact. They are not on the menu but if you order one they’ll make if for you. And if you’re really lucky they will make one with their shredded meats. ☺️“
